The people who market him SUCK!!!

Another not so new CD: Rhian Benson's "Gold Coast." Does anyone have it?

Re: Interrogation on Lyfe
 

nothing neo-soul about it. i'm normally not that much of a r/b person (i'm more eccentric), but i fell in love with this album. it's r/b, but his voice...man, it's tight. and the songs are deep. it really is about his life!! i'd compare him to an anthony hamilton.

btw, i picked up the new anthony hamilton today, but haven't had a chance to check it out!!!

I recently ordered "A Donny Hathaway Collection" from Amazon. The sound quality isn't that great but I love all the songs. I wonder if the quality of the live album is better than the one I have.

I heard November 9th, but I also heard January 2005, too!

Re: Re: Interrogation on Lyfe
 

well....it's different. not like the first one. it sounds a little too mainstream to me! it's ok...i'll have to listen to it again (i DO love the song WHY with jadakiss though!)

Has anyone checked out "The Dana Owens Album" by Queen Latifah yet? I like what I've heard so far.

Re: Re: Interrogation on Lyfe
 

I saw this brotha perform live and he's not a "studio artist", this man can SANG! I believe he is from Ohio and his album title is after the ID number he had in prison.

Didn't he release an album before that didn't do well. I don't see why not though...the brotha can sang!!!!

He can sing. I guess since he is on "J" records (Clive Davis), he will do better as it relates to marketing and promotion.

You guys should check out Van Hunt. I also love this cd!!

Thanks to all of you guys who recommended Lalah Hathaway. It's tight!!

Would Van Hunt be a mixture of Lenny Kravitz and Maxwell?

Jamie wasn't that well known then. He was trying to make it as a singer and he didn't have the right people promoting him. So, he moved on to acting...Its about time they gave him his props; he's a great singer.

Pretty much!! You hit it on the nail. You gotta check him out. I kind of think he's cute....in that eccentric kind of way. Check out his website: http://www.vanhunt.com

Has anyone purchased Lizz Wright's CD? I borrowed from a co-worker a month ago. It's really nice. ALso, Spike Lee directed her video.

As for Jamie, I was so exited to hear about his record deal. He deserves it.

Van Hunt is cool. I LOVE the new song. However, after visiting his website and reading his bio, I've added him to my weirdo pile WHCAS.

Do you mean Salt? If so, I have it and I like it. It's not on constant rotation, but it's a smooth CD. Number 6 is special to me. :)

Van Hunt is a great artist. I heard him live at his album release party. He is very talented. He did some cuts from his album plus some ad lib and it was great.

Lyfe is a local artist here and he is also very talented. He's always on the radio here and they play songs from the album that haven't been released yet. So, definitely check it out.

Wally World had it for $8.88

If you haven't done so already please pick up Smokie Norful's new CD "Nothing Without You".. this a great CD and the boy can flat out sang. Very inspirational

Re: Re: Re: Re: Interrogation on Lyfe
 

Yes, I hope through word of mouth his album sales will go UP.
I remember when Target had Floetry's cd in the bargain bin selling it for $7:eek: and the Solange Knowles cd for $13. :eek: :confused: :rolleyes:

Let me hear the congregation say DAT AINT RIGHT!

Mighty Mos hits the shelves Tuesday with "The New Danger" I will MOST DEFINITELY be picking this up!!

The Best of Both Worlds Tour is DA BOMB!

Words can NOT express how wonderful it was to see Jay-Z in concert!! I am COMPLETELY satisfied with the performance. Man, if I didn't like Beyonce, she would have to WATCH OUT because I would be on a manhunt for Jigga RIGHT NOW! :D I could not stop smiling because the concert was just that great!! If it comes to your city, DO NOT miss this concert!

*off to order the Jay-Z discs needed to complete my collection...*

Have you all heard of D'angelo's "sound alike"? His name is Terrell (sp?) I heard his CD is good.

If you 've heard his stuff on the radio, you would swear that D'angelo had returned from his "hiatus". :confused:

This CD is SOOOOOOOOOO nice. It's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO nice.

Talib's new one is nice, too. Definitely ones to be picked up.

I wanna go see the Jay-Z movie when it comes out... lemme see if there's a thread on that...

Re: Re: Interrogation on Lyfe
 

Oh my! I just checked out the music clips on the website. I can't wait to head to Circuit City right after work to grab this one! I hear a mixture of Terrence Trent D'Arby,Al Green and a little bit of Ron Isley.

I am picking Mos and Kweli up when I leave for class.

Are you talking about the remaster of "Streets is Watching" or is there another movie? If it's "Streets is Watching," thatmovie is more bootleg than "State Property." To be honest, it's like one long music video. The movie corresponds with what he is rapping about in a particular song. It offers some laughs and a good soundtrack. I will be getting ti tomorrow, though. It will be re-released and is on sale for $9.99 at Circuit City.

I have a bootleg version of Streets Is Watching but I will be picking up the new copy, especially since I have a $5.00 coupon which means I will only end up paying like $5.00. Ideal is referring to Fade to Black. It's follows Jay when he was recording The Black Album and it also has footage from his "retirement" concert last year at Madison Square Garden. It comes out on Nov. 5th.

BTW, I heard like 5 tracks off of Fantasia's album. Homegirl is really puttin' it down!! I can't wait for the album.

Oh, OK! I would like to see that myself. Jigga PUT IT DOWN in the Best of Both Worlds concert!!! I am his new biggest fan!!

Shoot, I've been Hova's biggest fan since '96. Every year it just gets better and better. As you can see in my sig, I am HYPED to go to the concert.

I don't own any Jay-Z albums, but I'ma go see that movie. I just told a nice little fib, lol. I do have The Black Album, LOL. Anyway, I'm going to see Fade to Black. The previews looked really good, and I'm usually not into movies like that. I smiled all the way thru the preview. Good stuff.

I WAS THERE!!!!!!
 

I was there!!!! I had floor seats in the middle of MCI Center 10 ft away from Puffy! The concert was off the hook!!!! I kept starring at Puffy, like "Oh my GOD!!!! There he is." I was all in his grill. Yeah, his teeth are really that jacked. :D

Anyways, Kells and Jay did the damn thing!!! I am a big fan of Jigga. Kells was off the hook.....

Man, that night was......I don't even want to talk about it!

Q

Re: I WAS THERE!!!!!!
 

Did he kick the "Beyonce" freestyle in your city? he represents for "B"!! I love them! :D :D

Re: Re: I WAS THERE!!!!!!
 

What's the freestyle? No, I can't wait until the concert I want to know now. :o Hearing everybody talk about the concert has got me SUPER HYPED!!! Loving the location RD, I'll start us the 'Cuse chapter. :D

Re: Re: I WAS THERE!!!!!!
 

Girl, I wouldn't know because I was all in my love's arms at the time. I mean I paid attention for as long as I could, but

Damn.....I was getting my "groove" too. :o

Q

Does anyone like Goapele? I know she isn't new, but I wanted to know your thoughts. Sistah is bad!!!
