Yeah. B needs to take a BREAK! She's a great entertainer, but can I wonder where she went? For instance, pull a Maxwell on us! :D He has toured and STILL has NOT put out new miusic. :rolleyes:

I LOVE JJs "This Can't Be Good!"

B did talk about retiring at 30. She's 27 now, so she probably figures she still got a good three years left in her. But I doubt that she will retire then. The only thing I thing is going to slow her down is little Biggas.

Or they add songs to albums that have been out a year and promote them for another year (did you hear that Rhianna?).

And can someone please tell me why Jaheem is coming out with a greatest hits album next week? :confused:

And Usher with Confessions, versions 1-20 :rolleyes:

I was thinking THE SAME THING when I saw the banner ad on Essence.com!! The "greatest hits" that he has had were... um.... maybe.... *blank stare*

Yeah the adding of songs and releasing the album as a "bonus track album" is ok ONLY if the original album was solid.

I didn't know Jaheem had that many songs to have a greatest hits album, but I said the same thing when Ashanti released one.

FYI: 808 and Heartbreak will be out on Monday. The album will be on MySpace Music tomorrow (Saturday). :D :D

Luda's album is also out on Monday and he will be on SNL tomorrow.

Who is 808 and Heartbreak? The name alone sounds like i need to get it.

I love Eric Benet's cd. Very happy. I have Jennifer Hudson's as well, but I'm still blasting Mary Mary and haven't put anything else in.

Kanye. And unless I'm trippin', I haven't seen the album on Myspace. Every time I visit his page, I keep getting Love Lockdown and a medley of four other songs from other albums. I've been looking for it all weekend. :(

It was suppose to be on there Saturday. I didn't get a chance to check. But it doesn't matter because the album's out today. :D

I concur on all above...especially the bolded. :cool:


After listening to half of Kanye's new CD, I'm officially depressed.

I picked up Kanye's CD today...and I like it!!! It's experimental & different, and that's probably why I like it so much. Aside from "Robocop", the CD's pretty decent. What a bold and artistic move, and he pulled it off very well.

JB13>>Where are u? Your thoughts? :D

^^^^
I like it. It's different that what's on the radio right now and it's good that he decided to go out of the box. But there are times during the CD I want to give him a big hug and tell him it will be OK.

Has anyone heard the new Luda yet?

I like that Eric Benet cd a lot. I still haven't had time to listen to Jennifer Hudson. I have it, but haven't listened.

The new Luda is kinda hot! :cool:

A lot of music came out today:

Common-I'm disappointed with his new CD. For starters, it's too short (38 minutes) and it kept me wanting more. After two excellent CDs (Be & Finding Forever), I expected so much more than this. I applaud him for trying to be different this time around, but it just didn't work.

Brandy-it's ok, not wowed by it, but it was nice to hear from her again

Musiq Soulchild-LOVED IT!!! "Until" has been on repeat since I heard it the first time this morning! As much as I didn't like "Radio" at first, the song grew on me. This CD is excellent from start to finish!

Haven't listened to Avant yet, but I'll get to it sometime this week! :)

Common: I agree with you on the CD. In my opinion all of his CDs (including Electric Circus) have been excellent but this one leaves less to be desired. However, there are a few tracks that I love. It's not a complete loss but as I said earlier, he needs to stay away from Serena and get back to what's real.

Brandy: Heard one track. That was enough for me not to listen anymore.

Musiq Soulchild: Eh. I wasn't impressed with this CD or his last. Sigh.

I know. I'm hard on music. :cool:
