Anyway, new song: Consequence + Kanye + John Legend.

Download it HERE.

Listen to it / watch the random video I made here:

New(ish) Song - "The Way You Want It" by T.I.

Yeah, check out what that jacket says, hehe :) Uh huh that's BROWN UNIVERSITY. If only T.I. really was a Brown Bear...

I downloaded 2 or 3 weeks ago but didn't really listen to it until this week. I was definitely sleeping on this song, cuz I actually like it. Your thoughts?

New MJ Tribute Song

Better on the Other Side

The Game ft. Chris Brown, Diddy, Polow da Don, Mario Winans, Usher, Boyz II Men. DJ Khaled produced.

Sampled: This Place Hotel (Heartbreak Hotel) by The Jacksons

I figured it was only fitting. You already know I love the Q-Tip song. And I love MJ too. Enjoy

Original Song:

This Place Hotel (Heartbreak Hotel) by The Jacksons (1980)

New Song:

We Fight / We Love by Q-Tip ft. Raphael Saadiq (2008)

This always made me happy, cuz I love both songs so much! :)

RIP Michael Jackson <3 + RIP Farrah Fawcett

Michael Joseph Jackson

August 29, 1958 - June 25, 2009

First I got a text (5:11pm) saying he was rushed to the hospital.

Then I got another text telling me he was in a coma.

Facebook statuses were blowing up. TMZ saying he was dead, other people saying TMZ was wrong. I didn't know what to believe.

But CNN has confirmed it & I believe it. It's a damn shame. Only 50 years old.

I was definitely just watching the Jackson 5 movie on VH1 a few days ago. I still can't believe it! I would ALWAYS say "I have no idea what I'll do when such and such person dies... I won't be able to believe it." Luther was one of those people. Bernie Mac was one of those people. MJ was one of those people.

My prayers are with the Jackson family.

-------

Two of my favorite MJ videos:

- Remember the Time

- Liberian Girl

Human Nature, one of my favorite songs

*Updated 6:57 pm*

I just found out about Farrah Fawcett too... Unbelieveable.

February 2, 1947 - June 25, 2009

Just Downloaded: Slum Village mixtape "Remember The Classics"

SLUM VILLAGE.

Remember The Classics.

I haven't listened to it yet... I'm slacking on listening to music :-/ but soon!

New TV Show "More to Love" + Albums I'm Looking Forward To

I was watching tv the other day (of course) & saw for the first time a commercial about a new Fox show, very similar to The Bachelor. According to Fox, the average real woman is a size 14-16 [truth], yet the average "reality" show woman is a size 2. "How is that reality?!" the commercial asks. Next month, they're gonna try to correct that by airing their own version of The Bachelor with REAL-sized women looking for love.

... Your thoughts?

Premieres: Tuesday, July 28 @ 9 pm on Fox...

MAXWELL's new album BLACKsummers'night (first cd from him since 2001) will be available in 2 weeks, on JULY 7th (my sister's birthday, hehe) !!!!! Featuring one of my favorite songs of the moment, "Pretty Wings!"

Also, in case you forgot, TREY SONGZ is giving us a new one on AUGUST 4th

Pot of Gold - Wale f. Daniel Merriweather [prod. by Mark Ronson]

NEW MIXTAPE DOWNLOAD - WALE + 9th WONDER: Back to the Feature.

Back to the Feature.

New Wale mixtape with 9th Wonder... Get it HERE.

Though I'm not the #1 Wale fan, I can say I like him. I haven't listened to any of this yet (I literally just downloaded it like 15 minutes ago) but I'm excited about it! ... I'm especially excited to hear #11 & #21 cuz I love Mark Ronson & Daniel Merriweather.

I'll be back to review when I've listened to it :)

What Should I Talk About? + Video: Marvin Gaye's Star Spangled Banner / USA Basketball Team

I've been slackin lately but I haven't really had anything to talk about. I will though... for now I just have a video. Any suggestions for what I should write about?

This commercial never gets old.

And I've always loved Marvin Gaye's version of the anthem :)

Enjoy.

Kanye West: Air Yeezy Commercial

Trey Songz - DOA Kellz (R. Kelly Diss)

Can Men & Women Really Be Friends?

I've had a few conversations about this in the short time span that is my life and I don't think I've gotten any closer to the answer.  So I'm looking for other perspectives to help me understand.  Share your stories / thoughts / ideas?

Stop with the remixes of Every Girl !!!

No for real though. I'm not even playing.

If you're gonna remix the song, you gotta make it good.

[ Not saying that these are bad, cuz I haven't listened to most of them very much, but it's gotta stop. ]

Nappy Boy All Stars version

Sammie version

Tyga version

R. Kelly version - am I the only one who really doesn't like it?

Trey Songz version - we all know I love him :) hehe

Actually, if you're gonna remix any song, you better make it GREAT. Not just good.

"Trey Songz in your presence is a giiiift..."

I don't know how he keeps doing it but I like him more & more each day.

Trey Songz - Ego Remix !!

Sampled: Cause I Love You by Lenny Williams

So I'm nocturnal and I'm updating at 5 am. That's borderline ridiculous but I'm gonna go ahead & do it anyway. I don't know what it is about summer but I always wanna stay up all night and sleep all day.

Okay nevermind, that's not just summer. That's all the time.

But the real reason I'm writing isn't to talk about my sleep issues. It's to post music. I have this on going list of music that's been sampled & the songs they're used in + originals & remakes/remixes. One of my favorite old songs was used in Twista's "Overnight Celebrity" so I'm gonna put both up.

:)

Cause I Love You by Lenny Williams

Overnight Celebrity by Twista ft. Kanye West

Btw, in terms of spitting game & what not, know that nothing he says in this song is slick. Women: if a dude tries to come at you with some "I can make you a celebrity overnight", please do not take it and run with it. Just leave it and walk away.

Something You Might Like

New Video: Paranoid by Kanye West

So there was all that mess about the wrong videoing leaking out or whatever.. I don't really know cuz I didn't care much but Kanye put the actual video up on his blog today/yesterday and so did GLC.

Here it is... starring Rihanna.

Personally, I've never been a fan of this song. And the video isn't terrible but it's not a masterpiece in my eyes. So this gets a big womp from me. Sorry Kanye.

Too. Cool.

I approve. And Tony does too :)

Jamie & Halle sitting in a tree... K-I-S-S-I-N-G

I usually don't care about celebrity news and junk like that but when I heard that Jamie Foxx and Halle Berry were "making out" on stage, I was taken aback. How RANDOM. Supposedly, Jamie presented her with the "Decade of Hotness" award at the Spike TV Guys Choice Awards on Sunday. I guess the award and a kiss on the cheek wasn't enough for her because she went in for more !! I'm sure everyone will now be planning to watch the awards show when it comes on Spike on June 21...

Youtube has VIDEOS of the pics.

Everybody doing it?

I mean dang.. has EVERYBODY done a version of Birthday Sex? It's a good song, stop playing with it.

Brooke Hogan + Fabolous

"I don't need candles & cake, just need your frosting on me" ... really though? Hulk's letting that slide? Alrighty then..

New Video: You're a Jerk by New Boyz

Yay, it's got a video now :)

They're wompin just like me... ha!

New Video: Birthday Sex by Jeremih

Love this song, just like everybody else does. This girl isn't that cute though... He could've picked someone better.
