New Gnarls??

While roamin down the blog stroll this evening I came across a song by the GENIUS that is Danger Mouse and CeeLo, better known as Gnarls Barkley, on Mission Freak. The song is Called "Run" and isn't known at this time if its new and from the upcoming album The Odd Couple theyre almost finished on, or something from the St. Elsewhere session. I personally cant think how a track like this could POSSIBLY be left off St. Elsewhere, or any other album for that matter, so my guess is that its brand spanking new. If this is new than its DEFINITELY first single worthy because in my opinion the track is BRILLIANT, GENIUS, AMAZING and everything else...im getting old school "Livin for the City" Stevie from it with a twist of "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band" from the Beatles vibe...UGH IM INLOVE! IN LOVE I TELL U

Erykah Badu 'Honey' Video

While the blogosphere is a blaze over bitches and their haircuts (or as i like to refer to it as weave removal) I figured we ALL need a contrast to the crap..so heres some NEW ERYKAH BADU!!!...This is the video for her first single 'Honey' from the upcoming album dropping the 26th of Feb


I love the concept behind the video, and the overall outcome of it i dig....definately lovin the use of classic album covers of the past..but the video fell a wee bit short to me, i feel alot more could have been done with the AMAZING concept they had, but im sure the budget had alot to do with that...but like i said..i dig, i dig..what about u guys?

Throwback Thursday

Throwback thursday is BACK! and what better way to bring it back than with the genius that is Bobby Caldwell's "What you Wont Do for Love". This is on my LONG list of all time favorite songs. You cant help but let The horns speak to you and the lyrics are absolutely beautiful, and you may have heard this song already! it was sampled 4345654645 of times by various artist from Da Brat to Aaliyah , but best remembered being sampled by Tupac on "Do For Love" back in '97. To learn more about Bobby, head on over to his WIKI page, heres an snippet:

Bobby Caldwell was born in Manhattan to Bob and Carolyn
Caldwell, the hosts of Suppertime, an early television variety show. Living in Memphis and, chiefly, Miami (which he has called an influential "dumping ground" for all kinds of music), he took up piano and guitar as a preteen. Forming his own band at 17, he took the group on the road, later recording an album entitled Kathmandu.

The covers gonna have to grow on me...its a weeeeeee bit...creepy? but I can NOT wait to hear some more new material from Ms Badu. Looking at the tracklisting i guess this is the year of short ass albums, but with Erykah u never kno, each song may be like 15 minutes long or some shit, who knows. Plus i prefer my albums short than long, drawn out and boring..... "Honey" is absolutely a fav of the moment for me...her rumored second single "The healer"? yeaaaaaaaaaa not so much.

Heath Ledger Dead at 28

Sad Sad news comes today, Heath Ledger has died at the age of 28 from what police are assuming is a drug overdose at this time.

It wasn’t immediately clear if Ledger had committed suicide. He had an appointment for a massage at the residence in the tony neighborhood of SoHo, NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said. A housekeeper who went to let him know the massage therapist had arrived and found him unconscious at 3:26 p.m.

According to The New York Times, his body was moved to the floor, and after receiving no response from the actor after shaking him, the masseuse and housekeeper called authorities.

“We are investigating the possibility of an overdose,” Browne said. “There were pills within the vicinity of the bed.”

My Prayers and deepest condolences go out to all of his family, friends and fans at this time....Now can someone tap THIS BITCH on the shoulder and let her know this shit is NOT a game?

Lil' Kim Jumps ship

Lil' Kim has decided that it would be best to part ways with her record label Atlatic Records after 10 years and plans to release her upcoming album independently according to Billboard.com.

"It's rumored that the MC will join Capitol Music Group's independent arm,
Imperial Records, however Kim's management was unavailable for comment. Fat Joe
is also signed to Imperial. Lil Kim's upcoming album, which was originally
slated for February, is now tentatively set for April or May 2008. Kim's
Atlantic swan song, 2005's "The Naked Truth," has sold 394,000 copies in the
United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan."

I definitely think this is a GOOD look for Kim. Clearly Atlantic stop giving a shit about her during the La Bella Mafia days. The main problem with Kims lackluster career hasn't exactly been her material, its been the backing that shes had, or in her case, hasn't. No record label in their RIGHT mind would have let Kim, or WHOMEVER, pick the album cover that was chosen for The Naked Truth, that shit was straight up SCARY and totally contributed to the wack sales(arguably one of her BEST albums not even going gold? damn shame I say, DAMN SHAME!), I even contemplated buying it after I seen the cover in the store for the first time, damn near gave it the SEOD. The woman had a MASSIVE hit with "Magic Stick" and there was NEVER video for it, major no no...even if her and 50 were throwing tampons at each other at the time, im sure the could have done SOMETHING...Im just glad shes finally realized she deserves more.

Famous Stars and Tramps

Nowwwwwwww...i dunno about you guys, but nothing about this picture screams "BUY MY PRODUCT!!!"..Can someone send this memo to Travis Barker, owner of Famous Stars and Straps, and let him know this? Danity Kane member Aubrey O'Day is the model for the clothing company and these are the pictures of her modeling various pieces. My brother is ADDICTED to this shit, and I dig some of the hoodies and tshirts myself, but looking at this campaign it doesnt make me wanna rush to the nearest store and pick up anything, it makes me wanna volunteer at a battered womans shelter or somethin...I mean really, homegirl looks ALL FUCKED UP.

Dreamgirls 2: Queens United

Heres a clip of Ex b2k members beefin it out over, im guessing, the allegations of molestation RazB made against Chris Stokes a few weeks ago...Anyminute im waiting on them to go into a rendition of "Its All Over" from Dreamgirls...I just love how Raz puts his own twist on "And I Am Telling You" at the end by tellin everyone hes gonna shoot em up...great way at really making it ur own Raz


Every single thing about this clip is hilarious to me, again..my personal favorite part is at the end when Raz threatens to kill everyone (oh how i wish he would stop playing with my emotions with his idle threats)...now if the whole HIV thing is true, ofcourse its no laughing matter..but when it comes to these CLOWNS, im far from sympathetic, or concerned for that matter...now I got a question, is this reality show their supposedly coming out with an actual show scheduled to air on a network soon? or are these negros just walkin around with a handheld and a youtube account calling it a "show"? either way I shant be victimized!

Because Beyonce is the QUEEN of Originality...

So I snatched this while roaming around The Fury today and I must say..some Beyonce stan has put in overtime for this, may have even lost a job behind it, because it MUST have been time consuming... Not only thinking back and studying every Beyonce video but every Rihanna video as well!!! (God be with ANYONE capable of doing that and living to tell a story about it). This stan is claming (and comes with damn good evidence) that Rihanna has bit alot of Beyonces ideas and concepts in past videos...This would be all well and good if it WEREN'T Beyonce here we were talkin about..nothing new is under the sun, ESPECIALLY when it comes to Beyonce queen of lawsuits herself!. This exact same video could be made with Beyonce in Rihannas shoes and any R&B female after 1990 in Beyonce's...Now put down the spears and torches stans, im not taking up for Rihanna in no shape or form..she can sizzle in the same frying pan as B herself for all i care..buuuuuuut, I calls it as I sees it...wanna truly take credit as being the first to do something? try doing something ORIGINAL...and poppin yo oochie wally on a sandy beach is far from it

A Trip Down Memory Lane...

With all the talk of the upcoming Mariah album, I did what I normally do when im eagerly anticipating a new project by one of my favorite artist, I listen to their prior albums like they just came out untill i get my fix of new material lol. Today I put in my all time favorite Mariah album Butterfly and was reminded of how GOOD that album was, everytime I listen to it, its a beautiful surprise....I also realized today that it wasnt uptempo track heavy AT ALL, beautiful ballads and bouncy midtempo tracks made up the entire album and it worked PERFECTLY (why mariah got the urge to make everyone get theyre eagle on all of a sudden after this album, I dunno)...I wanted to share the video to one of MANY of my favorite Mariah tracks and videos..."Breakdown"...this song brings back so many memories and its one of those songs where u just cant help but smile hearing it...can u guys believe its been a DECADE since this was released?

'That Chick' Tracklisting

Billboard.com is reporting that Mariah's new album That Chick (smh) has officially been set with a April 1st release date.

"Mariah Carey has set an April 1 release date for the follow-up to her
mega-selling album "The Emancipation of Mimi," which was the biggest selling
album of 2005. Dubbed "That Chick," the set features production from Jermaine
Dupri, will.i.am and Rodney Jerkins, plus collaborations with the likes of
T-Pain and Damian Marley."

The rumored first single is suppose to be "Migrate" featuring Tpain...ive been ITCHING to hear this track because its Mariah and i always love her first singles, but Tpain? smh 2 steps forword, 4 steps back away from fierceness huh Mariah? Heres the tracklisting, only 10 tracks? Hmm i dunno how i feel about that one, I prefer my r&b albums with a minimum of 14 tracks, short and sweet but not TOO short. But Yall kno how Mariah do, her ass will most likely re-release in May with 4 more tracks anyway..Heres the tracklisting, im sure its gonna change depending on what track she picks for the first single, EVERY Mariah album always opens with the first single and follows up with the second.

"Lovin' You Long Time"

"Touch My Body"

"That Chick"

"Thanx for Nothin'"

"For the Record"

"Migrate"

"Cruise Control"

"Love Story"

"OOC"

"Bye Bye"

Wendy and the rest of the gang will be syndicated on LA's famous 93.5 Kday radio station from 11-3 (wait, wasnt that YOYOS time slot? someone help me if im wrong), so that means she'll be coming on right after Steve Harveys morning show....i LOVE IT!..finally a reason for me to listen to the radio and endure the assault of todays popular music on my ears...as much as it would be cool to jump on the "I Cant stand that tranny Wendy Williams!!" bandwagon, i think the tranny is hilarious!
