Lauryn's "MTV Unplugged" album will be out in May. It's a 2-CD set.

Also, I listened to some of Ashanti's CD, and I wouldn't say it was better than Faith or Mary. It's ok, but it's not all that.

I have to go and pick up Tweet!

Glenn's CD is VERY NICE!!!

Musiq's "halfcrazy" is TIGHT!!! I can't wait until his CD drops!

I also want to check out Michelle Williams's CD. I think it will be pretty nice.

Yay! SO glad this thread is back...

Tweet's CD... ON TIME! I love it! I love all of it! "Drunk" is CRAZY!!! I highly recommend it, as the lead single is not at all telling of the rest of the CD. It is sweet, acoustic, melodic...cool.

Ashanti - hmmm...pretty generic. I think she has a very nice voice ("Thank You" shows that), but she is just packaged into this half gangsta/half pop princess image that will get her sales, but not respect. Buy it if you like most of the R&B they play on the radio/TV today.

Glenn Lewis...eerie how Stevie-ish he is. Superior song writing, overall, I recommend it. Number 4 is my jam (don't remember the name), it is so nice!!

Y'all about a month ago i re-discovered my Jazzyfatnastees CD "The Once and Future". It came out in 1999, but I gotta say that this is probably, IMO, one of the best CD's ever. If not that, then "Breakthrough" is definitely one of the best SONGS ever. I love this CD. Even though it is old, if you haven't checked it out, and you are a fan of the neo-soul movement, it is a must.

Are y'all digging the new Trina ("Told Y'all")? I am!! lol, I love my Slip-n-Slide!! Also, Trick Daddy and Cee-Lo's song is tight too. I always grin when I hear Trick/Trina.

Let me put my right foot in the game now.....

P.S. I am gonna bring up the OLD dance thread...

delph998 · #19 04-11-2002, 03:34 PM

Hey GCers...I've been MIA, but I still love y'all!!!

Okay, I'm going to start off with my man, THA man, JOE! I love the album, it's all that!

2. Brandy-The CD is tight! Off the chain, I love it!

3. Glenn Lewis-the cd is off the chain!

4. Tweet- ALL THAT...OOOPS is an understatement compared to the rest of the album! Don't be fooled friends, the girl is BAD! I expect her to blow up BIG TIME!

That's my time for now...I'll be back! Luv ya!

Y'all... why does Tweet's CD go so hard???? I mean, when this girl made an album, SHE DID THAT. I liked "Oops, Oh My" and everything, but the album really surprised me. I'm feeling pretty much every song on it, especially "Smoking Cigarettes" and "My Place." Oh, and "Motel" and "Beautiful" and "Always Will".... okay, so pretty much every song. I'm even considering going to buy the LEGIT copy - that says something.

I agree, Soror! I have been meaning to respond to this for like a week, but girl, I am LOVING that CD!!! It's one of my favorites!!

I tried to find that post about the belly dancing video, but I couldn't. Anyway... that song Addicted by Truth Hurts is my favorite song right now!! I love it!! I can't wait to hear it at the club!!! I downloaded a couple of her other songs, and they sound pretty nice. She's on Aftermath, so I think that CD will be a definite buy.

I finally downloaded some of Musiq's new CD, and I can't wait til it comes out!!! We're thinking about buying Remy Shand, but I don't know. After listening to a couple of his songs, I started getting annoyed with his voice.

Who else? Oh, Glenn... my favorite track is that song Take Me, or something like that. The CD is really nice.

I guess that's it.

Had to come back and edit... I took LibraSoul's advice and picked up that Jazzyfatnastees CD. LOVE IT!! Thanks, girl!

I just heard clips of Lauryn's new CD on CDnow.com (in stores this Tuesday!!!), and it's pretty deep! I'm definitely going to have to buy it!

Michelle from Destiny's Child? Is it R&b or Gospel? I know one of them said they would be doing a gospel album.

Musiq's CD comes out on May 7th, so does the Lauryn Hill unplugged. Yes Tweet's album is the bomb! I listened to Ashanti's album and it bored me. But she is selling, can't hate her for that. The question is though, will she have longevity in the biz? I don't think so. Her sound is of the moment. Ja Rule's basically doing for her what he did for J-LO. Pretty soon that whole sound will get played. And whoever said she had a nice voice, well I'll let you think that. But the album I'm really waiting on, drumroll please.....THE EMINEM SHOW! I can't wait for that album. The Marshall Mathers LP was so tight! And whether you like what he has to say, you can't deny his tight lyrical skills. He's the tightest MC out right now, as far as lyrical skills. I know I'm gonna get some hate mail on that one, but if you listens to the song off of Jay-Z's "Blueprint" album "Renegades" you'll see what I mean.

I purchased Ashanti's too. It's okay. I think she will last longer as a writer than a performer.

librasoul22 · #25 05-05-2002, 06:29 PM

NUPE4LIFE, I said that Ashanti has a nice voice. I was referring to the acapella track called "Thank You." IMO, she showcases what she really has on that track. Unfortunately, on the rest of her material she chooses to sounds like a nasal 9 year old. Her bad. The rest of her CD is a s***ty boo-boo mess. I hate when people with potential come so generic! One of my pet peeves.

Musiq's CD = tight (especially #8...don't know the title, got a bootleg copy, lol)

Cee Lo Green = tight, the whole CD

Tweet = everyone has already sung her praises...just believe the hype!

That's really all I am listening to right now. N4L, I am looking forward to Eminem too.

India.Arie is supposed to have something new for the summer.

Rafael Saadiq drops later this month. I gotta pick it up.

Oh...I forgot, I am digging Cam'ron's new song "Oh Boy".

Ms. Jade (new Timbaland/Missy chick) sounds like she is gonna turn out to be pretty good. I checked a few cuts and liked what I heard.

That is where you can best hear the strength in her voice. It also shows that if she had a writer and a producer with talent to write songs just for that voice her CD would be off the hook. Her CD is not a S****Y boo boo mess (CTFU @ that) but it is not stellar or award winning or worth more than $7.99 especially seeing as how of 12 tracks (I believe) -- 4 are skits.

SPEAKING OF SKITS, if you want to sing -- then sing.
If you want to act, THEN ACT.
But stopping having my ___ ____ ____ buy yo chit and it have both.

Oh I do like her song "MOVIES". It's a nice little ballad but nothing like OOOOOOOOOOOOH Girl that's my jam for forever type of ballad.

AKA2D '91 · #27 05-06-2002, 10:38 PM

I saw Heather B's (Real World-Original) latest video "Live MC". It has that OLD SCHOOL hip-hop/rap feel. I hope things are going back to the sound of the middle to late 80's.

Enough already with Ja-Rule remixing erebody's songs...ughhhhhh!

Ideal08 · #28 05-08-2002, 04:51 PM

Yall, me and Loverman are trying to be good about our spending habits and paying our bills and stuh. So we had budgeted out everything, and came up broke. Well, yesterday was May 7th, and yall know what that meant, my dude, Musiq. So, needless to say, one of the bills got trashed, and we traipsed on over to MediaPlay to pick up my dude Musiq. We get there, the first CD I see is Lauryn Hill's UP. HAD to pick that up, shooooot. And yall, it's two discs!!!!!

Love it!! Then we also got Musiq and Ceelo. All three are tight!!! And I think that Musiq wrote his CD about me!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU MUSIQ!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!

So tell me this.... Did Lauryn actually perform on MTV??? Did I miss that???

exquizit · #29 05-08-2002, 05:00 PM

She sure did. She was very emotional too. Her hubby was there playing along with her. I guess it isn't true that they split.

Bamboozled · #30 05-08-2002, 05:33 PM

I am definitely feeling Lauryn's new CD. It is nothing like her last CD, which I loved. It has a very folksy, inspirational vibe to it. She does a lot of talking on it. I missed her on MTV, but I'm sure she rocked it. I haven't picked up Musiq's yet, but I may just do that on my way home. I'm going to see him at the HOB this weekend, so I have to hear it before I go.
