Music Lovers, get your post on!

Well, I am going to go out on a limb and REPRESENT for Hip-Hop!! I love R&B, but I LOVE Hip-Hop!!

I am truly, absolutely, undoubtedly, indelibly in LOVE with NAS !! Stillmatic was worth every mic that the Source gave him! I have been down with Nas since Illmatic. That's my man! I can go on and on about Hip-Hop, but I don't want to bore those of you who aren't interested. I just had to put one in for Nas.

As for R&B, no group can compare to 112! I love 112! Jagged Edge has nothing on them. Jagged Edge tries to drag them down with any chance that they get, like on 106 & Park. Carl Thomas is wonderful. I also like India.Arie, Tamia, and Sade. I am definitely feeling the return of Donell Jones....

Oh, I can go on for days in this category, so I'll make out like a bandit while I can!

i saw her perform a couple of songs on MTV... I couldn't get into it. Either i wasn't in the mood or the songs were slightly depressing. but that's just my opinion based on the 2.5 songs i heard. I'm a fan and that performance didn't make rush out to get the CD.

Lauryn Hill

I'm seriously feeling Remy Shand. His voice is smooth and he writes and does all the music for his songs. A very talented person, IMO.

I only kinda like Jazzyfatnastees. It's lacking to me but i can't put my firnger on how.

I love Les Nubians Princesses Nubianesse. It's sung in french but it's the bomb. And it's pretty old. So i'm hoping for something new.

Ok...i'm watching the Halfcrazy video. Now is Musiq looking some kinda good now? Cut the hair, dropped some weight and he's looking GOOD.

1) You thought that about "Breakthrough" (number 3) too?

2) *whispering so as not to be overheard by Ideal08* But the man is only 5'6"!!

I've seen the man in concert, I know he short, I know he got a cockeye. I DON'T CARE!!!!!!! I love him! And I am especially feeling this CD. As I listen to the songs and then think back to the last CD, I wonder if all the songs are about the same chick? And is it the young chick?

I can't believe I missed Lauryn. They repeat mess all the time. They can't repeat this? Not to mention, I didn't even see a preview for it or anything. Busters.

[kitten03]

Ok Ok...you got me... I burned the CD and I couldnt get #3. So i'll try to down load it if it's that good. I do like Unconventional Ways.

Musiq has a Cockeye!!!!! No wonder the sunglasses all the time. As long as he keeps em on, I'm good. I kinda like short guys. That Napoleon complex is sexy. LOL

[librasoul22]

Y'all are off the chain! Let me stop hating on that man. His music speaks for itself.

[librasoul22]

Y'all...two words...

TRUTH HURTS

I know SOMEONE out there is feeling me on this one.

Her entire CD comes out on June 11th and I hear she has duets with Eminem and ahem, r. kelly .

Um...nothing too much on the horizon in the way of music.

I am bumping the new Musiq, and a mix CD with some Trina ("Told Y'all"), Trick and Cee-Lo ("Dro in the Wind"), and some other dirty south stuff...K-Wang, LOL . I heard there is actually a ghetto-fab video for it, I wish I could find a link or something so I could post it for Southern-challenged people to see.

I have heard that Rakim is coming out with a new CD, can't wait for it. I love Rakim Allah, he is the best lyricist EVER!

Shoot, lol, I'm lookin' for someone who 'turns my pages,' LOL!!

[librasoul22]

I am digging the new remix for "How Come You Don't Call Me" by Alicia Keys...

BTW, at the end of the original song's video, that club is the Tabernacle...I was there! LOL, every time I see it I am all up in the TV, lol. But I think they superimposed a crowd because...not to be discriminatory, but the crowd was NOT that diverse on the front row. Although there WAS a very good mixture of people there, I was just a few feet away from the stage, and I did not see that mixture being represented on the first row. The mixture that I saw mostly sat up in the balconies.

I made this old mix CD yesterday. Does anyone remember JJ FAD? Just curious because I was VIBING to Supersonic. And that one song...we like the cars, the cars that go boom...LOL that song cracks me up now!

In other music news . . .
Some news on Black Thought’s once highly anticipated solo-debut Masterpiece Theater. While, there are lots of rumors circulating on why the LP has sat dormant for so long, including talk that Thought did not even record enough material to finish the endeavor, or that he just scrapped the dolo idea entirely. Here is the skinny... Thought’s solo LP is completed and has been collecting dust on the desks at MCA for a hot minute now. Also, word is that there are no plans at this juncture to release the LP in the immediate future, or worst case at all. And in related news, Mos Def’s MCA debut has been indefinitely delayed because of disagreements they are currently having….


Word is the Alchemist has laced Linkin Park with a dizzying track for their upcoming remix endeavor. In the words of one very respected cohort “its as evil as Linkin Park might ever get on a record.”


Nas is Not? In a joint venture, Roc-A-Fella Records and Sequence Records will join forces to release Nature’s sophomore LP Wild Gremlinz (5-28-02). Also, look for the Roc to formally announce the signing of M.O.P. and Teflon in a NY hot minute.


While ?uestlove prepares to release his BBE side-project, Babies Making Babies, the liner notes to the LP are a MUST read. ?uest has came up with a crazy rating system, I Wonder if Questo Still Gives A Fuck About Me, which is basically a point system he derived for completing various tasks. For instance, though ?uest is kind enough to give all everyone 100 points to start off with, unless you are “thoroughly handling his business affairs” (200 points), have “taught him to how to record and mix classic material” (100 points), been one of the girls he’s “loved before” (50 points), or the classic “If I came out of your birth canal, give yourself 1,000,000 points”, its hard to chalk up enough points to reach the esteemed 500 point club.


It still takes a nation of millions to hold them back! Public Enemy has put the finishing touches on their latest album, Revolverlution, and plans to release the LP on 7-23-02. One interesting facet to the LP is that it will include the production of four winners from a contest the group held last year. Look for the LP’s lead-single, “Gotta Give The Peeps What They Need” feat. Paris to hit radio soon. Other guests slated to appear include, Rahzel, ?uestlove and Common.


For those interested, looks like Mariah Carey’s deal with Def Jam is all but a formality. While Mariah may need an “Irv Gotti” like makeover to reclaim her previous spot on the charts, word is she has jettisoned off to an island retreat to put the finishing touches on her Def Jam debut, where she has recorded material with Jermaine Dupri and DJ Quik.


Up and coming NY Indy group, Crimewave, is said to be in discussions with Sade for her to appear on a remix to their upcoming single “It Ain’t The Same.”


While I was initially skeptical about Eminem’s new single (“Without Me”) due to its uncanny resemblance to “Purple Pills”, I must admit that seeing the video helped me---any video with Jenna Jamison has my seal of approval. Also, while the B-Side (“What You Say”) to Eminem’s “Without Me” includes a diss to Jermaine Dupri, the track also includes a stealth like Canibus diss “"Amateurs drink veteran piss from a Dixie cup, if you ever mix me up or confuse me with a Canibus or Dre with a Dupri". And, these are not the only words Em has for Canibus on The Eminem Show. Also, Eminem has a few choice words for Nelly as well on a track entitled “Square Dances”.


Surprisingly, Jermaine Dupri has already released a comeback to Dre and Timbaland’s diss, and while it is a laughable diss track, word is JD is a wanted man in LA---hopefully everyone will play nice and keep it on wax.


While MF Doom has begun working on his second official solo LP, Mmm Food, look for his experimental endeavor, Viktor Vaughn, to drop in September.


While the KRS-One track (“Clear Em Out”) was first rumored to be a Nelly diss, KRS not only quickly refuted, but also diffused as well by reaching out to Nelly’s camp to clear up the situation. It seems KRS’ gesture was for naught, as Nelly calls out KRS on his verse from Beanie Sigel and Freeway’s “Roc The Mic” remix. Never one to shy away from a battle (ask Prince Be), KRS has responded with “The Real Hip Hop Is Over Here”, where KRS not only criticizes Nelly’s “N-Sync commercial” style of rap, but also asks for fans to boycott Nelly’s upcoming LP.
