Tunes, tunes, and more tunes (Music, Pt. 3)
 

Ok, I went and bought Aaliyah yesterday, and the ex got Maxwell. The Maxwell CD is tight!! I'm going to have to by that for myself. But for the time being, lol, I'll listen to his. I like the Aaliyah CD, too!!! And I am DONE buying CD's until I get a job. I really am. I've put myself on CD punishment. :( And that is so saddening, lol.

Librasoul... tell me this. Ok, this week was triple points. And if I bought Aaliyah befor the 26th, I get 2,000 bonus points. So since I bought her yesterday, during the triple point thing, do I get 6,000 bonus points? The store manager didn't know. When I asked, he said, "I don't know, that's a good question." LOL.

Re: Tunes, tunes, and more tunes (Music, Pt. 3)
 

Okay, I have been a little tied up for the past few days...but I just wanted to say MAXWELL IS THE HOTTEST CD SINCE JILL SCOTT! And that is my unbiased opinion, LOL :D

SILENTLY (the absolute JAM), For Lovers Only, Lifetime... Goodness, there is no use for fast forward!

Ideal08...ok here it is...
You get triple points for all purchases. HOWEVER, bonus points DO NOT triple. So say you spent $12.99 on Aaliyah...you will have the equivalent of around $39 ($13 x 3) PLUS 2000 points. So in other words, no, the 2000 points doesn't triple. I guess I could have just said that to begin with huh. :D

BTW, there are a plethora of new remixes out now. My current favorite is Blu Cantrell feat. Foxy Brown...the Hit 'Em Up remix. It has kind of a reggae feel. Nice!

Also, CT4, Blu Cantrell's new single is I'll Find A Way! :D

I bought the Aaliyah CD when it first came out, and I don't really like it.

I don't know, I was expecting more, since I liked all of her songs on the Romeo Must Die soundtrack.

There are only 4 songs on the CD that I listen to, the rest of them are garbage to me.

I have Luther
 

I also bought Maxwell the day it came out and I am loving it!!! But hey as posted a while back the man can make anything and I'll buy it. I like Aaliyah's CD, it took me a little bit...I had to grow into it.:)

Ideal08 and other Michael fans...his CD has been pushed back to late October. I believe the new date is October 30.

As much as I hate to do it...
 

I had to come and talk about these CD's just once more.

That Aaliyah CD is just really nice. It just is. I Care 4 U is the cut right there. So is Never No More. And I Refuse. The CD is just nice. Dayum, man. I hope she recorded a bunch of stuff that they can release for us. Unbelievable. I guess 2pac will no longer be the hardest working deceased person. Because she was BUSY!!!

[SIDEBAR: I think that the remake of the movie Sparkle is gonna be called Glitter. I'm not sure, though. END OF SIDEBAR]

Man, man, man. Maxwell. Man. Man. That song, Silently. Man. All I'm sayin is, it's gon' be some babies made off of this CD. It's just a cool cd. You can just sit back, close your eyes, and vibe, Silently. ;)

No remember Mariah is Glitter, we saw the previews when we went to see Legally Blond.

They were talking about remaking Sparkle.

Y'all had to start talking about my MAN Maxwell! You mentioned babies being made? Well, I predict a surge in the world's population by the millions! That man is lyrically, spiritually, and wonderfully talented.

I never was into Aaliyah, but I have to admit she was extremely talented. I was digging her two releases off her latest album, so I might try her whole new cd out.

And I almost hate to admit, but I like the new Michael Jackson single. Has anyone else heard it? I was LMAO when I heard the intro with Chris Tucker! HI-LAR-I-OUS! You all should check it out...I can imagine the video being even funnier.

Peace and condolences to the friends, fans and family of Aaliyah...

Pebbles

I heard Mike's new single. It reminds me of "Remember the Time". It's aight. I need to see a video. He needs to stop all that "he he" and all that other ya-ya, noises he likes to make in between verses. :rolleyes:

man, that is just it. When am I gonna hear MJJ's new song?? Dangitt. And the he he's make him, it's a part of his thang, man. 2D, you always need a video for somethin', lol. You needed a video for Mary, now you need a video for this. LOL, you are funny.

Girl, Yeah, I DO need a video. I have to tap into my MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES. ;) :p Alot of times, if I see the video, I will like the song more. It didn't happen with Mary. The song is okay, but the video is a mess. That black and grey/silver wig has got to go.

I'm a VISUAL, AUDITORY, TACTILE and KINESTHETIC learner.
I need to SEE, FEEL, and TOUCH...:D

Micheal has been he heing for over 25 years. It's the new millenniumnum NOW. Do something ELSE, MAN! :rolleyes: :cool:

AKA2D, all I can say is LOL!!

What is the deal with Mary and the Milli Vanilli dance?? :confused:

And I am STILL waiting for Mary to release a dictionary, pictionary, almanac or SOMETHIN' to explain her new vocab! Maybe it will be in her album liner.

pebbles_6... :( I regret to inform you and anyone that Maxwell is MY man. Cyber duel at 10 paces for anyone that wants to step! :p :D

As Promised...
 

New CD's today:

Brian McKnight - I am very dissapointed at this effort. Maybe it's just not my taste, but I am not feeling this CD at all.

Krayzie Bone - really not my flava, so I am not gonna give a biased opinion.

MARY J. - Okay...I am really swallowing my pride for this one, because Mary's CD is TIGHT! I was the biggest skeptic, but there are only a few truly up-tempo songs on the CD (that includes Family Affair). I am not familiar with titles yet, but my favorite cut off the album is a track that samples the Young & the Restless theme song (leave it to Mary!! :D) . That is the JOINT, y'all!!! Also I like a song on there called PMS (yes, it is self-explanatory! :p) Don't get me wrong, there are a few tracks that I listened to that probably coulda been left off, but I am definitely buying this CD tomorrow! I will come back with song titles for the bootleggers! ;)

LOL
 

Hey she performed that PMS song on an episode of Strong Medicine a couple of weeks ago. I LOL then and I know I will when I buy it -- maybe this weekend.

HAD to pull this back up!
 

I was re-reading this thread, and I have to say, I'm really proud of myself. As much as it is killing me, softly, I haven't bought any CD's since that post!!! :D Anyway, moving on...

Librasoul, where are you???????? No posts, no IM's... where you at? I got some questions, lol, I hope you're reading this! :)

First of all, I heard on the radio this morning that Eric Sermon was in a car accident... broke his jaw, arm, and leg. Wasn't wearing a seatbelt. I honestly didn't know people still DIDN'T wear their seatbelts. Sparkle won't move if you don't put your seatbelt on. I don't play that. Anyway, moving on... :)

I just want to let yall know, I've been pulling an IDEAL08 move as CT4 likes to call it, and I've been taking notes of what I wanted to tell yall in this thread. I can't help it, my memory is shot. Anywho... (I'm in a real chatty mood today, can yall tell, lol?)

Alicia Keyes is now the most listened to artist on the radio, with her single "Fallin'," beating out Destiny's Child's "Independent Woman." I thought that was cool!! Go 'head on, Alicia, girl, wit'cho bad self!

I guess they're playing the new Angie Stone single on the radio now? I still haven't heard it since the concert, but I'm listening to the radio all day now, since the CD player on the computer doesn't work. :mad: Librasoul, what's the haps on this? Is her album release still contingent upon how her single does?

Lastly, I just heard Dawn Robinson's new single on the radio. I like it!! Unfortunately, I didn't catch the name.

So, what's goin on with yall and yall's music? What have you bought recently? What video do you like? Let's talk about some tunes. :)

Babyface
 

What yall think about his new single, "What if?" I like it, but I don't like his voice on the song. But I love the words. When does his CD drop, or has it already? I won't be purchasing it off the bat, but I would like to hear someone's critique. :)

Re: HAD to pull this back up!
 

Ideal08...I have been busier than usual just lately...

Anyhoo, as far as Angie Stone goes, she did indeed jump to J Records. Her song "Brotha" is now getting radio airplay and seems to be doing fairly well so far. Her album is still slated to drop in October, but there is not a firm date just yet.

Dawn Robinson's single is nice, her CD will be out either October or November. She kinda cuts down both En Vogue AND Lucy Pearl if you listen closely to some of her lyrics.

Alicia's "Fallin'" has been the number one single according to Billboard for-like-ever! She has now released "A Woman's Worth" to radio. It is a critical sucess, so we just need to see how it goes over with the public. Personally, that is my favorite song on the CD. My JAM! :D

Finally, I have not bought a CD since Mary. It has been slow, release-wise, aside from Jay-Z. I'm not really the biggest Jay-Z fan so I will just *whisper* burn it. ;)

City High
 

Does anyone have this CD? How is it?

Re: Babyface
 

Is this that new songthat has Snoop Dogg on it??? That song is so wack!!! He's trying to be "hip-hop"...but it's not working for me--and I'm a real fan of his...so disappointing...

Anyway, one of the songs I like that is out right now is "Golden Boys" by Res (pronounced "Reese")...I 'm feelin' her lyrics too. I bought her CD the other day...I like some of the songs but I don't know...maybe it has to grow on me...it was only $9.99 so I didn't pay too much $$$ for it...

I also like that girl Lina...she has a song out too--I can't remember the name of it but the beat is bangin'!!!

Ideal08, I told myself the exact same thing the other day--that I was not goping to buy anymore CDs until I got a job...let's see if I can be as strong-willed as you...;)

Re: Babyface
 

that song sounds "special"--and i don't mean special in a good way. special in a "short, yellow bus" way.

the last cd i bought was syleena johnson and blu cantrell. i'm quite pleased with both. i really like "hit on me" by syleena.

on another note, has anyone heard the remix to r. kelly's "feelin on yo' booty?" that joint is TIGHT

Re: Re: Babyface
 

LMAO @ "short, yellow bus" way.
IDeal, Babyface's Cd dropped about 2 weeks ago. I have not heard anything about it. My students usually give me the lowdown but I have been sooo busy lately, I could care less. Tonight, however, I chaperone the school dance sooooo I will get to see new moves:rolleyes: and hear new tunes:rolleyes: :p . I am going to ask the DJ to only play FEELING ON YO BOOTY one time!!

I love Alicia and the last CD I bought was Blu's which got heavy rotation this weekend after an argument especially "Til I'm Gone" and "Waste My Time" ;) . I want Alicia to release her hidden track next or JANE DOE which is my THEME SONG.

Mary and I are back together
 

I bought it yesterday and so far I like it, I keep playing songs 1-9 and love them so today I plan to listen to the last 8 songs.

So far I love the songs LOVE, STEAL AWAY, PMS :p, no more drama ( digging the Y&R theme song integration), Destiny -- ok ok yes I like them all but I miss a MARY BALLAD!!

Well worth my $13.99 but I think 4ever and always My Life will be my favorite Mary CD.

I'm playing Maxwell almost non-stop, but on the few occasions that I take it out of the CD player, I'm listening to Lina. Her whole CD is tight.

Who is Lina? WAIT! Was she on Reverb?? She sang after Res, I think? Is this right? What does she sing?

Re: Lina
 

Yep...you are correct about her being on Reverb (she's the gal with the short ear-length bob haricut)...She sings a song called "It's Alright" featuring Boobonic from "Philly's Most Wanted". I am thinking about getting her CD, since I have just gotten a job (YEAH)!! :D

Also, I decided that I am really feeling Res's CD--I had to warm up to it (it's called "How I Do")...She has a sound that is a mixture of mostly Soul, with a slightly Alternative Rock edge...

Ideal, did you stick to your goal and not buy any CD's until after you started working?? I didn't. :( Oh well...I don't have the will-power....

Re: Re: Lina
 

Yes!! I stuck with it. I'm STILL sticking to it. And lemme tell you, I got my MediaPlay magazine in the mail the other day (I forget the name of it), and it had a $15 coupon in it!!! So I'm going to use that to buy that CD, Red Star. I hope that's the name of it. The one with Erykah in the commercial and the lil old man with the cane. I love that commercial.

Now, in the magazine, they said that Ketara's cd should be out this month (the girl that sang with Avant). Also, there's a group that is similar to Dead Prez, I think that they are called the Coup. I'm not sure, Soror NaturalBeauty08, do you know about them? I'm thinking of buying their cd, too. There are just so many that I want, but I have to have will power.

Still haven't bought any CD's... So...

How is the Red Star CD? I think I'm going to go and get it today. I'm trying to get the ex to get Jay-Z. CT4, sounds like a burning dinner is in the future, lol. ;)

What music are yall feelin' right now? I'm really diggin' that DMX joint, They Don't Know. The video is really nice!

Has anyone gotten City High's CD? I wonder how it is, I liked the first two singles... and they are a product of Wyclef... I wonder...

BURN BABY BURN
 

Ok my student told me there is a new song by ANGIE STONE called TIME OF THE MONTH. In her words, "Why do her and Mary think we need to talk about it much less sing about it?"

LOL

BURN BABY BURN!!!

man, what?
 

How Angie gon' drop another single, and we don't even hear Brotha enough on the radio? Man, I can't keep up with these artists.

They've recently started playing Brotha here. Was there a video? The song is good. Brothers don't have to worry about hearing another brother-bashing song.

I think Angie will continue to be one of those artists who will remain UNDERRATED. She will always have a loyal following, probably more mature music listeners.

You know how that goes...:rolleyes:

Yes, there is a video, I caught the VERY end of it on 106 & Park. Haven't seen it since.

I agree, she will always be underrated. Is that what we've become? Mature music listeners? :rolleyes:

Angie's video and MJJ
 

A sista is happy, OK????? :D

Michael Jackson's CD is TIIIIIGHT, yall!!! And I'm not biased, honest!!! It's really good!! He still has it!!!! Oh, I love this man!! He will ALWAYS have a fan in me, para siempre... I haven't even made it all the way through, and I just want to say, I love the cut Break of Dawn. And lemme just tell yall. Yall know this is my FIRST CD purchase since August, right? So I'm feelin' pretty nice right now, lol. Anyway, I had a Replay coupon for $15. The CD was on sale for $13.99. A sista got paid $1.01 to buy her favorite artist's CD! :D Now, you can't beat that with a bat!!! Lawd, I love him...

As far as Angie, her video is really nice!!! I finally saw it yesterday. It is really nice. Have yall seen it?

What else... why ain't yall tellin' me about what yall buyin'??? Yall know I have to live vicariously through yall right now.

LibraSoul, where are you????

I'm on this Christmas music kick right now. I know it's early, but I have to be prepared ;) . Anyway, I unfortunately bought Destiny's Child's Christmas Album.

Words cannot express how bad they messed up good Christmas music. Beyonce' sings Silent Night solo and it is the worst rendition of the song I've ever heard, but their harmony is very good. I really don't even want to get into the rest of the mess that is on there. I guess that's what I get for buying a Christmas CD by a POP group.

I'm not giving up though. I'm still going to purchase Toni Braxton's, Snowflakes; and En Vogue's Christmas CD. I already re-purchased The Chipmunks Christmas Album and New Edition's Christmas All Over the World. If anyone has any other suggestions on good Christmas music please let me know.

Re: Angie's video and MJJ
 

Here I go, lol...

Angie Stone will drop on Nov. 7 (yes this is firm!)

Ideal08... HOW RIGHT YOU ARE! Michael Jackson's CD IS tight! I LOVE "Heaven Can Wait"!!!!!!! THE JAM! :D

Also, my husband-in-training (should Maxwell ever try to act brand-new) Lenny Kravitz dropped his album on Tuesday. I like it! Okay, that IS a biased opinion, lol, it isn't for everyone...

The last CD I bought was Red Star. I am still feeling it, so I haven't gotten the "itch" back yet. YET. Wait til the 7th! ;)

Re: Angie's video and MJJ
 

My husband bought it today. He agrees with you! I'll try to get it away from soon so I can listen.

Re: Re: Angie's video and MJJ
 

I am so silly... it is supposed to be November 6th , not Nov. 7th. I would have just edited the post, but I am not sure how many people saw it already.

Ideal08, FYI, the next Replay weekend is Dec. 9th - Dec. 12th... just in time for Christmas! ;)

Also, not sure of the title, but number 4 from Mike is the jam too!! And I just realized that number 2 has this banging beat! But "Heaven Can Wait" is still my song of the moment. I am just feeling this entire CD.

And Ideal08, they gave you cash back for a Replay Certificate?? Ooooooooooooooh, I'ma telllllll! :p :D You are not supposed to issue money back, you are supposed to tell the customer to get more merchandise! How Come, employess of the Best Buy Conglomerate, How Come? LOL

I think some mentioned Jay-Z earlier...his CD is standard Jay Z fare...if you like him, this new CD is off the chain. If you are like me (indifferent to him) then it is just something to ride to. HOWEVER...the cut with Eminem, "Renegade," is HARD. I like it!

N'SYNC
 

have you all heard/seen the video for their new single "Gone"?

It sounds like a song from back in the day, but I just can't remember the song or the artist.

:confused:

I'm kind of feeling it though. SHhhhhhh. Don't tell anyone. LMAO!
:D

Re: Re: Re: Angie's video and MJJ
 

Ok, they didn't give me cash back, they put in on a gift card. :)

I'm no longer an employee of the Best Buy Conglomerate, lol, I couldn't hang. One job at a time, one at a time, lol. Hey, I tried.

How come you posted a HC in the Tunes thread? LMAO! :D

#4 is my jam, Break of Dawn. Love it. My dude likes it, but can't feel it like I feel it, cuz he said he can't picture MJJ makin' love. I told him he not supposed to picture HIM, DUH, LOL! #2, title track, Invincible, does have a bangin' beat. But it has NOTHING on track #9, 2000 Watts. That is my driving song right there!! I even made up a stroll in the car, it's just that nice, lol. Now what's tripped out about that song is that Tyrese helped write it, and the name of his album is 2000 Watts, right? Teddy Riley gets an A+ for that one!! :D

Track #1, Unbreakable, is my AKA theme song right now, LOL! Here's why:

"You can't believe it, you can't conceive it
And you can't touch me, 'cause I'm untouchable
And I know you HATE it, and you can't take it
You'll never break me, 'cause I'm unbreakable"

And that's just the chorus. It just reminds me of my sisterhood. What can I say? Skee-Wee! :D

I haven't heard "Gone" yet. I want to hear it, I've heard a lot of people talk about it.
