Okay, I am mad that this thread fell all the way back to page three! LOL
Anyway, I have missed discussing music with you all...what has everyone been buying? Did anyone get any good CD's for Christmas?
My synopsis of recent music:
I am liking Stillmatic from Nas...although I am into more conscious hip hop, I appreciate Nas's lyrical ability (even though he rarely puts it to use anymore). My favorite track is called "One Mic"...a great song.
No Doubt "Rock Steady"... lots of reggae flavor. As I said in another thread, "Underneath it All" is ON TIME.
(For Ideal08), if you like My Sacrifice, you will like ALL the rest of Creed's songs, from any of their CD's. They all sound pretty much the same to me.
Lina "Stranger on Earth"- has been out for a while, but I just recently gave her CD a close listen. It is HOT. Her voice sounds kinda like a hybrid of Badu and Britney, if you can imagine that. The production is really solid throughout the CD. My favorite cut is called "I'm Not the Enemy." Her first single is pretty good too, though.
The Ali Soundtrack - BANGIN'. Not too much of a fan of the R. Kelly tracks, but Alicia Keys has a good one on there called "Fight" and it also includes "20 Dollars" from Angie and "Sometimes" from Bilal. Lots of oldies too... I ride to this CD all the time. "Ain't No Way" from Aretha gets put on blast immediately!
I think that's all for now (I know, that's enought, right!)...
Next up, later in January, Jaguar Wright....CHECK HER, y'all! For those of you that download, check out "Ain't Nobody Playin' " feat. Black Thought.
Oopsies, forgot to add...gotta give it up for the "new" Outkast (greatest hits, plus some new stuff like "The Whole World"
). It has my favorite song with my favorite verse ever on there - "Elevators"...
"I was in the mall the other day/ heard a call from the other way..."
