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!  He has toured and STILL has NOT put out new miusic. 
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?

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.

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.

I concur on all above...especially the bolded. 
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?

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.

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.
