Yo! I've never seen this!!! So dope! Love it!

First off, I could hardly read that. Jamie Foxx occasionally goes too far with his comments, but it's hard to imagine him dissing FP. The whole thing is strange.

DAMITA - Won't Be Afraid (self-titled) 2000 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2y-IqOhbPw I'm a fan of her 2008 album...I just found out about this one.

I'm really looking forward to this series. I love the first episode. I'm hoping FP pops up somewhere in this...maybe the recording of his verse from the Summertime mixtape?

Well, I never really met her. But I heard she's a fun girl...a real go-getter. Seriously tho,' I don't ever remember there being any news about this. If he had pressed charges against her, I'm sure it would have gotten news coverage.

So So Def has always been one of the tightest labels EVER to me. They took Hip-Hop and R-N-B to the mainstream in a big way with quality artists. For fans of the So So Def family, past and present, check this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFTh6cJ0dRc&feature=youtu.be

ONE LOVE w/ MARKY MARK - Irie Vibe Fear Soundtrack (Unreleased) (1996) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o63CP4iO-GY

This is a bit of a sleeper. Musically there's not much too it. Jaden (again) has the bored/lazy vocal delivery. He gets a bit of a rhythm but it doesn't stick around for long Willow is about as much presence vocally as this boring "beat" will allow.

It's a dumb idea. It's so dumb that I'm challenged to understand why people think it's a good idea...other than greedy companies that will profit from it. FP has said many times "zero chance." It pains me that he'd consider it without seeing a miracle of a script that almost makes the idea of a sequel tolerable. The bottom line is; the earth doesn't get attacked by aliens twice. To pursue that idea tarnishes the original. The only thing that gives me an ounce of fear that FP would do it is that he's done moves like Hancock, which I can't imagine were that good on paper when he agreed to do it.

That's where my CD single and my 12" single is from. I'm pretty sure that's the only place it was properly released; which would explain its chart position.

Well, while it's done in the tradition of the JJ+FP song, it isn't a song that was promoting an album. Keep in mind that And In This Corner... had relatively lackluster sales. So having them push out a new single right on the heels of that album was probably seen as a dangerous move. That soundtrack and single was released overseas as a remix titled "Yo! Home To Bel-Air." Since the US is probably the most finicky and critical music audience in the world, I'm guess that's why they only released it overseas.

Happy New Year, everyone!! I definitely feel like I'm in a good place to start 2013. 2012 was filled with some great achievements but also great loss. I'm fortunate to have the day off to just chill and get my vision for 2013 in place. Resolutions aren't taken as seriously as they should be, but I wish in this new year that we set goals and achieve them...that we find out how to make ourselves better people see ourselves become that.

That was fun. I especially laughed hard when he said "still have it...can't fit it." I loved that they used a random cut like "Code Red" to play in the background. Thanx for sharing this.

Nothing too crazy here...just a good fan-made megamix that lasts about half an hour. I haven't tried the download link but I will by tomorrow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmVQ7hRXKzw https://www.facebook.com/Djdarkkentremixes

Pretty crazy...I like it. I didn't see a download link for it. Am I missing it?

Hmmmm....I was never a fan of Mystical, especially once he signed with No Limit. I like that he's doing something fresh...kinda. Channeling James Brown and using a live band is nothing new, it's just not something Drake/Wayne/Nicki are doing. Lyrically it's dull and vocals he's usually pretty annoying. I give it one start for being something that doesn't sound like what's on the radio.

From AOL Music Blog Janet Jackson Engaged? Singer Set to Tie the Knot in 2013 (REPORT) Posted on Dec 26th 2012 1:01PM by Brittany Galla Kristina Bumphrey, AP Janet Jackson is reportedly ready to tie the knot! According to Us Weekly, Janet Jackson got engaged to her businessman Wissam Al Mana earlier this year and is "eager" to plan a spring wedding. "[He] gave her a huge, expensive ring," another source told the magazine. "She's afraid it will get lost, so she keeps it locked up." The couple hope to get married in Qatar, where Mana is from. "He is flying in all of Janet's friends and family on private jets," the source continues. "He wants to get a top chef to create a custom menu." If the 2013 wedding takes place, it'll be the "All For You" singer's third marriage. And Janet reportedly hopes to have kids with Mana. "She wants kids," an insider told Us. "If she can't have them, she will adopt."

My only problem with his music is that he's content with sounding like he's rapping in his sleep. I'm find with his lyrics. I like about half of his beats. The deal breaker is his energy-lacking flow for me. Not hating, just wishing he had a fire in him when it came to his delivery.

Avant to Release Seventh Studio Album "Face the Music" on February 5 Singersroom 12/17/2012 3:27:21 PM Comments (0) 2 Avant's Profile R&B veteran Avant will release his seventh studio album, Face The Music, on February 5, 2013 via Capitol/EMI-distributed independent label Mo-B Entertainment. The set is led by the first single "You & I," a long-awaited follow up duet with R&B songstress Keke Wyatt. Watch the music Video for "You & I" On the 12-tracks Face The Music, Avant draws inspiration from R&B legends like Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Frankie Beverly & Maze, Luther Vandross and Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds, blending traditional sounds with new age R&B. “It’s a taste of new school and old school,” states Avant. “You might hear a piece of, say, Stevie Wonder or Babyface, then I spin right back around and offer up some new age R&B. It’s a well-rounded album with something for everyone. At the end of the day, Face the Music is about who we are and what we live by; it’s about respecting that as well as the music.” Avant wrote or co-wrote all 12 tracks on on the project.
