Noah's Arc movie scheduled to set sail this year...

To soften the blow of the news that Noahs arc was being cancelled, the fans were told that an upcoming movie was in the works! we just didnt know...when..how..where and why...but now it seems like things are coming together and everythings a go! so I Galivanted on over to AfterElton and Heres whats goin down...

"The film's working title is Noah's Arc: Jumping the Broom (I guess a shark was too dangerous?) and we're told it is a wedding-themed film (they won't tell us whose wedding...) that will pick up where the series left off at the cliffhanger season finale. Production begins in March and newly-out lead Darryl Stephens (Noah), Doug Spearman (Chance), Rodney Chester (Alex) and Christian Vincent (Ricky) are set to return, with other casting to be announced soon. "

Throwback Thursday

Hey guys, I figured since I lagged last week with throwie thursday (thanks mo) that this week i'll give u 2 for the price of 1!!!! With both of these legends gracing the grammy stage last Sunday, and the mini drama that took place afterwards, I figured what 2 better artist could I choose other than Miss Aretha Franklin, the QUEEN of soul and Miss Tina Turner, the QUEEN of rock&roll?

Both of these songs happen to be my personal favorites of Tina and Arethas...First up we have "Call me" by the 20 time Grammy award winner Aretha Franklin and the song comes from her 1970's album This Girl's inlove With You. Next we got the 8 time grammy award winning Tina with "River Deep, Mountain High" which was released as a single in 1966 and produced by Phil Spector....I hope u all enjoy!!!


Aretha Franklin - Call Me


Tina Turner - River Deep, Mountain High

Fierceness of the Day

Since the Grammys were only 4 days ago and was still fresh in our minds, for good or bad reasons...i figured id post 2 of my FAVORITE performances that WOWED me, MOVED me and left me absolutely speechless from 2 of my favorite divas...No, not Amy and Kanye.....MARY AND CHRISTINA!....no they werent at sundays ceremony at all. These amazing performances come from LAST YEARS festivities...ahh yes lets reminisce...the year where the Dixie Chicks snatched shit up for talkin shit, Justin threw as much of a bitch fit for not winning album of the year as Kanye did (fuck both them niggas, Gnarls was ROBBED), Mary finally won 3 of her OWN grammys during the televised portion of the show and Christina proved that she had SOUL!....enjoy

Mary J. Blige - Be Without You/Stay With Me


Christina Aguilera - It's A Mans World

I'm Just Sharing...

Start your HumpDay out nice with one of my favorite TLC tracks...the Neptunes produced "In Your Arms Tonight"...this is a slept on gem from the girls because it was on the VERY forgetabble 3D album. After the initial shock and sadness that many felt after the untimely death of Left-Eye, reality set in...the Remaining members still had an album to release and due to the fact that neither of them really had the spunk, charisma or real talent that Left Eye possessed, the album pretty much slid dowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn the charts...why this song was never released as a single still boggles my mind...this is classic Neptunes production, when they were in their PRIME production wise...yanno before Pharrell started to do whatever the hell he wanted behind the mixing board and just put the neptune stamp on it.....enjoy

Im in love with the Jennifer Hudson sample...Now clicky clicky to head over to Nah Right to find out who the hell this is.

So Delicious it MUST be fattening....no pun intended, Aretha

So! according to BlackVoices, Aretha "No, seriously, More gravy!!!" Franklin was NOT feeling the love from Beyonce grammy night. ReRe was quoted as saying:

"I am not sure of whose toes I may have stepped on or whose ego I may have bruised between the Grammy writers and Beyoncé, however I dismissed it as a cheap shot for controversy. In addition to that, I thank the Grammy's and the voting academy for my 20th Grammy and love to Beyoncé anyway."

GET HA RERE! GET HA!...This quote from Aretha stems from Beyonce calling Tina Turner "The Queen" during their performance sunday night, a title thats rightfully been attatched to Aretha for DECADES...but all jokes aside, im sure Beyonce meant NOTHING by it what so ever..in order for her to have meant something, actual thought would've had to go into it, and we ALL kno that just aint happenin from the Bedazzled one anytime soon...the girl barely knows what day it is let alone being able to throw shade at anyone, let alone the Queen of Soul...hell, can she even throw shade at a wall in the middle of the day? My guess is no...plus she was just probably saying what was wrote for her...after yanno...reading it a few hundred times

New Mariah!!!!!!!!! + My 2 cents, ofcourse

Not only has the first single from Mariahs upcoming album debut today, but also the NEW album title and release date...Christmas came early this year for u Lambs out there....According to Mariah's Official site, the new album will be titled E=MC² and drop April 15. For you that havent heard the new track "Touch My Body" yall can mosey on over to ConcreteLoop.com...Now i woulda posted the song myself, but ehhhh I SHANT be victimized!...shoooooo...

My thoughts on the song? I think its really cute..nothing new, nothing special, EXTREMLY safe... A very safe track thats sure to impact radio in a BIG way...u can just tell when a song is MEANT for radio (todays radio atleast), the melodies are simple, the lyrics are on an almost remedial level and the singer usually tames his or her voice down to a none threatening whisper, unless ur Rihanna and yanno...thats considered straining and pushing urself, but anyhoo...For some reason I expected the song to be a club banging uptempo track, why im not sure....

Im keeping hope alive that Mariah will have some type of challenging and fresh material on her album this time around..shes been dabbling with the same formula for over a decade hoping it works, and we all know sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't....but before u lambs start hissing and getting that "WHAT THE HELL DO U KNO, MIMI GETTIN MONEY AND U JUST HATIN!!!" email all typed up and ready to send...i LIKE THE SONG! i repeat...i LIKE THE SONG!...i just want more from one of my favorite artist thats all *shrugs*...and i KNO Mariah's never been a Lauryn Hill or Amy Winehouse with the pen and pad...but "If Its a Camera up in here, then I best not find this on youtube"????

...Too Much Like Right

To let Amy sweep all 6 of the awards she was nominated for (she won 5) would have made entirely too much sense...a genius album winning awards that it ACTUALLY deserves???? that hasnt been heard of since The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. Letting Amy, a heavily SOUL influenced artist, sweep ALL the major awards would have been entirely too much like right

The award show this year was an overall joke and one anticlimactic performance after another. Unlike other award ceremonies in the past, im not going to give a blow by blow of this shit, i wasted enough hours of my life watching it, i refuse to waste 1 more putting together a indepth post about it...I SHANT BE VICTIMIZED! So here are a few of my favorite moments...and I say few because these are the only things I actually remember lol

Performance Of the Night:
Kanye West

At first I was a bit lost, even with the help of Daft Punk I didnt get the real point of the first half of his performance...yea he wore glasses that lit up, who gives a hot hell? but it wasnt untill the second half after all the smoke and unecessary shit left the stage was when he touched the ol corazon. The Tribute to his mother was absolutely beautiful and touching, i loved he sung live and was backed by the strings...proving that Kanye is at his best when hes not being KANYE!...genius...His acceptance speech, altho started out nice, the comment made towards Common all reminded us of the ass he could be at times... letting us all forget that for just one moment would have been too much like right.

Acceptance Speech Of the Night:
Amy Winehouse

She deserved an award for thanking RayRay n' dem and giving a shout out to her man in jail ALONE...now was it just me or thanks to Amys acceptance speech and the gospel tribute, the Grammys were a bit BETish this year? Regardless of the year Amy has experienced regarding her personal life, her music is undeniably amazing and something completely new while being vintage and classic at the same time. I commend the academy on seeing this and giving this broad 5 out of 6 grammys, and in a perfect world i'd like to think her personal issues had nothing to do with her wins but i also kno the publicity certainly didnt hurt. I don't think her wins come off as a reward for a person doing bad things, just as a reward for raw and brilliant talent...so SUCK IT Natalie Cole...Miss Cole was interviewed for FOX 11 News and took the opportunity to let it be known that she didnt think Amy "Deserved" any of her awards she won saying "I Dont think Bad Behavior Should be Rewarded"....talkin greasy is so much easier when u can ignore your OWN past isnt it? or did all the drugs and trips to pawnshops make u forget?

The rest of the night for me is a big blur, a big BORING blur of missmatched pairings, unthought out performances and random ass presenters, solange anyone? I think for the most part the winners this year was on point, ALTHOUGH I think Jill was robbed (Although she picked up one with Lupe Fiasco for "DayDream"). "No One" is a cute song but the fact that Alicia sounds like shes being punished in a sex dungeon while singing it should have said something and hendered her chances at winning, but i guess when Lucifer Clive Davis is your boss, anything can happen. I loved how motha Prince sprinted onstage to present the award to Alicia, im mad he was the prettiest girl there.

One of the most shady moments of the show for me was when Rihanna won the "Apex song of your career, seriously bitch appreciate it cuzz you'll never have another hit like this" award...i keed i keed...she won best for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration with Jay for Umbrella...well miss Rihanna strutted past Beyonce, snatched jay and galivanted on stage like it was nothin, yall..i love every minute of it! it was so delicious it HAD to be fattening!!












Im sure all that shade Ri was throwin cooled down the entire staples center yesterday. LA was a good 80 degrees shoooo, half the room and their edges need to thank Rihanna shooooo....

And while were on the Bedazzled one, I wasnt at all blown away by the Performance she did with Tina...u can tell nerves got the best of her while being 125 years old got the best of Tina...But i do commend Tina for yanno, not only being a legend but not having an ego that many divas would have when it comes to performing with someone half their age and in their prime...



Thats enough about the shit i could careless about, lets get to the winners! Congrats to them all...and Tpain too, I guess...

Final Question:
Now seriously...whos penis do u think is bigger out of these 2??
Hmmmm...now thats a hard one...But I think I know Whos Willing to take one for the team and find out...

Adele debuts at number 1 on U.K. charts

Thats right..RhythmicWord's favorite Adele has topped the album charts in the U.K. with her debut album 19...I swear, everythings SO MUCH fiercer over there..from the music to the people!(talent like Adele's would NEVER have debuted at number 1 here in America, hell she may not even be recognized over here untill her SECOND album...Feist anyone?)...Its good to kno that people SOMEWHERE get it. The GENIUS album has even led to Adele being awarded the BRIT award and the new Critic Choice honor...GET IT BITCH!

London-born singer-songwriter Adele's "19" has already led to a BRIT Award, the
new Critics' Choice honor, which she will receive at the Feb. 20 event at
London's Earls Court. The album's high debut also follows the success of her
first full single "Chasing Pavements," which spends a third week at No. 2. Her
previous limited edition single "Hometown Glory" has also just charted, landing
at No. 32 on download sales.

Throwback Thursday

It seems like alot of you enjoyed Mr. Bobby Caldwell last week, so this thursday I decided to bust out another one of my all time favorites from a male vocalist(im VERY picky when it comes to them) by the name of Don Blackman. His self titled debut album was released back in 1982 and due to horrible promotion (which means it MUST have been genius) the album never quite garnered the success it should have, but the stand out song that is "Holding you, Loving you" continues to shine to this very day, and is favored by many genius musicians and producers, the song is absolutely amazing..simplistic yet elaborate...do yourself a favor and check out his AllMusic page or visit Donblackman.com, after you click PLAY on the music player ofcourse :-)

Pianist/singer/writer Don Blackman, born 1953 in Queens, NY, grew up surrounded by jazz influences; a cousin was McCoy Tyner's friend and saxophonist Charles McPherson — a Charlie Parker disciple — was Blackman's neighbor. Blackman played with McPherson's group in 1968 alongside Sam Jones and Louis Hayes when he was 15 years old.

A Cry For Help

After a sophmore album that performed lower than expected, a third album that never even seen the light of day in America, and even a collaboration with Chingy...THIS has to be single handedly the WORST look for Amerie's career to date....a picture with the Antichrist of music himself...Ugly Basterd T-Pain. I consider myself a HUGE Amerie fan and I think her debut album All I Have is one of the MOST underrated albums of all time and I always kept hope alive that her sound would gravitate back towards the cool, breezy, organic sounds of the first album (although i do love her heavy percussive stuff too). I really thought she had something going with her first album and if she continued to grow with that, it could be somethin all her own and she could have set alil knitch for herself in the music industry...but nooooooooooo this heffa had to come out with Crazy In Love pt. 2...dont get me wrong "One Thing" was undoubtebly HOT and the Touch album was great..but much like other albums that are directed to the sound of RIGHT NOW with the main intent of topping the singles chart, the album doesnt have as much of a replayability factor as her first album did. Touch was cute for a few listens and a few "we on our way to the club" pick me ups but aside from that and the gym friendly Rich Harrison helmed tracks, u were pretty much done with it. Now im hoping this picture was JUST a photo-op and NOTHING more, my heart would weep if anything were to ever become of this pic, like ohhh lets say a collaboration? or EVEN him on production. If Amerie doesnt kno anything else by now, she knows that 1 hot track thats "Now" can mean the world today and not a damn thing tomorrow, and working with T-pain thats ALL you will EVER get ("Low", "Kiss Kiss", "Cyclone" and "Shawty" wont be getting much rotation in anyones ipods in the next 6 months let alone in the next few years)...So all in all with this being said...Amerie...keep on keepin on girl...i think ur amazing and im eagerly anticipating new material with that old amerie feel...and T-pain...die slowly.

Fierceness of the Day

Adele singing "Melt My Heart to Stone"....do urself a favor and watch the entire thing, her voice is AMAZING... this shit is FIERCE
