Beyonce appeared on Ellen and for once didn’t come across so plastic and guarded. She shared some details of her life with Jay-Z and I found it quite charming and even funny at times. This video doesn’t show her performances, but if you’re a fan you will probably enjoy it. Oh yeah and sidebar: Beyonce [...]
Ne-Yo has a new video for his song “Mad”. I love the song but damn this is one depressing ass video! Ne-Yo has some surprisingly good acting chops and the lead actress in the video (I can’t recall her name at the moment- edit:Faune Chambers) was stellar. I give Ne-Yo kudos for making a good video [...]
Common has a new song called “Punch Drunk Love” featuring Kanye West. This is hot! I love the production and I am not mad at Common getting a little risque at all. I prefer this sound where Common slows down his flow a bit and doesn’t cram as many words into a song as possible. [...]
R. Kelly hopped on Beyonce’s “If I Were A Boy” and flips the script on the ladies the way Beyonce flipped it on the guys. It is kind of funny how R. Kelly exemplifies the kind of guy that Beyonce is singing about in his attempts to excuse all of his wrongdoings. Kells comes across as [...]
Jim Jones who has been bumping his gums more than a little bit about Kanye West recently decided to flip “Swagger Like Us” to “Swagger From Us” with Lil Wayne, Twista, and NOE. The original version totally sh!ts on this one, but Lil Wayne on the track with Ye, Hov, and TI would’ve been an [...]
J. Holiday has a new song called “It’s Yours”. I kinda like this…the production could be a bit more subtle to match with the lyrics and J’s singing, but overall it’s not bad at all. From the sound of this, it seems likes J is going to pretty much keep the same sound and vibe [...]
The American Music Awards took place last night and featured some great performances by music A-listers. Here are a few of the performances in no particular order.
Kanye West performed “Heartless” . I love the stage set and Kanye brought a lot of intensity and emotion to his performance. I know a lot of people aren’t [...]
Keri Hilson has a new video for her song “Turnin Me On” featuring Lil Wayne. This is one of those songs that had to grow on me, but now I love it. I guess in this recession everyone wants to shoot their video with the plain white background, but at least Keri throws in some [...]
Lil Kim has a new song called “Download” featuring T-Pain. The second the “Computer Love” sample kicked I’m instantly feeling it. The lyrics of song are kinda funny…I don’t know if that is their intent, but I can’t help but find humor in talking about hooking up over Myspace and “top 8″s. T-Pain and Lil Kim make a pretty [...]
Solange has a new video for her song “T.O.N.Y.”. I actually really like this. This is the first time that Solange has dropped all the over the top styling and the whole 60s Supremes act and just did her own thing. one of my complaints about her is that her image seems too contrived, but [...]
