MARY J. BLIGE - 25/8 My Life II (2011) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sJSy40xbsQ It's so cool being down with an artist from day one and watching them turn into one of music's biggest legends...and she's still got DECADES of classic music in her.

And now for something completely different... THE CHIPMUNKS + CHIPETTES Survivor (2011) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iY0_31bEBwM LOL

Is that really a remake of "Uptown's Anthem"...it just sounds sped up to me. "I Know It's Like" is nice, but the beat is bit watered down for Naughty's vibe.

One of the pivotal R-N-B groups of the 90's has returned!! SWV broke up at the end of the 90's and Coko had a moderately successful solo career before transitioning to gospel music where she also had some success. The last few years they've done some touring and now they are kicking things into overdrive. Here is the new single, "Co-Sign" off of the upcoming album they are working on. I'm loving this. They sound great and their chemistry hasn't faltered a bit over time. The production is solid and has a fresh but 90's vibe to it. This is probably the most excited I've been about R-N-B in awhile.

I noticed the neuralizer in the Columbia logo from the 1st watch...and the new version of the theme. I actually don't like the new version of the them. It sounds generic and processed to me. It probably sounds better in its entirety.

This is really interesting and a bit quirky. I like then concept though there were a few moments where it seemed like a little too much. The "rapping in the background" thing made me laugh as well as the push-ups...which I did something similar in an old video of mine. The "I barely look any different!" is what made me laugh the most. The things that I get from some of your videos is that I don't know if they are supposed to be serious or funny...which I'm pretty sure is what you are going for.

I took a few minutes away from it and watched it again. I liked it better the second time around. I like the idea that K is hiding more. I just feel like the FPisms were adlibs that ended up in the trailer. They are a little on the predictable side...to the point that they almost feels scripted. It certainly doesn't have any quotables in it...and there's no sign of a new FP joint...but I imagine that will come together during the last stages.

Some of the shots look interesting but some of the look like shots from the last movie. I want familar MIB with a new twist but this doesn't really grab me. And if those are some of the funniest moments in the movie, then we are in trouble. I'm sure the movie is going to at least be alright, but this trailer is disappointing to me, personally.

I hate 2 play the roll of debbie-downer on this...but I think this video is stupid. I like the idea of it but the acting and the dialog just weren't tolerable to me. The whole time I was waiting for it to end. I think the cheesy song at the end was my favorite part...maybe because it was over...lol.

This is is new single "Crunch Time" I'll share my opinion later...what's yours? lol

For some unexplainable reason, I think the movie will be fine. Probably not on the level of the first one, but better than the 2nd. Reshoots can mean disaster but it can also mean they were able to step away and see what needed fixed...AND FIX IT. Who cares...new music is on the way...lol.

SISQO - Perfect Christmas (2006) I never knew this song existed until 2day! Love it!

I can't believe someone put that Dutch radio bit on YouTube! It's off a 3 inch bonus CD that came with an import version of the Boom! Shake The Room CD single! I was just listening to that about 2 weeks ago.

It's no Jamaica but it's 61 degrees in Maryland right now...which is crazy. This Toni Braxton and Shaggy joint comes to mind...

Overall, I like Reachin' better than Blowout Comb...but they are both great albums. It took me a second to adjust to the slight change in their vibe on the 2nd album when I first got it.

The lead single off BLOWOUT COMB...9th Wonder You just feel cooler when you ride around 2 music like this... Another fan fav...

Their biggest hit...Rebirth of Slick (Cook Like Dat) Another single off the debut album...Where I'm From And another classic/fan favorite...Nickle Bags

Thanks for posting this. I admire him for doing that. People just don't give of themselves anymore it seems like.

Yeah, I don't want them to sound like they are in a time warp but I don't want them to reinvent the wheel. Digable is one of the best to do it. I'm freaked when I saw this news!!

I am fully aware of the ridiculousness of that statement. But maybe MTV has realized that pretty much everything they've done since 2005 has been a been wrong and that their last tolerable era was between 1999-2002.

Digable Planets Reunite, Plan Tour, Album by Slava Kuperstein posted December 04, 2011 at 12:52PM EST | Butterfly, Ladybug Mecca, and Cee Knowledge are hitting the stage and studio once again. Taking a page from the Wu-Tang Clan, Digable Planets has formed like Voltron. Original members Butterfly, Ladybug Mecca, and Cee Knowledge (formerly known as Doodlebug), have big plans for 2012, including a tour and album. The group attained platinum status in 1993 with their album Reachin' (A New Refutation of Time and Space), and earned a Grammy Award for the song "Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)." Digable Planets' last release was the 1994 album Blowout Comb. Further details on the tour and album are not available as of press time.

KRIS KROSS - Tonight's Tha Nite Young, Rich, & Dangerous (1995) Why did they stop making music? They had so much potential!!

Yo! MTV Raps was monumental to me growing up. I never realized it until it left. I've watch it all the time...ESPECIALLY ON THE WEEKENDS. I remember when it aired for 2 or 3 hours straight, I'd stay up recording all the videos and interviews I liked. Either that or a group of us would all sneak out and go to one of houses and stay up watching and hanging out all night...then sneaking back into our houses really really late at night. Everything about Hip-Hop was dope back then. Even most of the artists I didn't like back then, I'll give a listen now and realize they were good.

MTV Raps" will return to the air for one night on Sunday on MTV2 at 12 a.m. ET, and Busta Rhymes will be one of the featured rappers, revisiting his own memories of the legendary show. Busta recently inked a new deal with Cash Money Records, but the New York rapper got some of his first shine during early episodes of “Yo! MTV Raps,” along with his former group Leaders of the New School. "'Yo! MTV Raps,' just in a nutshell, gave everybody an opportunity to look at artists as real people," Busta Rhymes told MTV News of the groundbreaking series, which will make a return on Sunday on MTV2 at 12 a.m. ET. "You saw us when we were upset, you saw us when we were happy, you saw us when we were beefin', you saw us when we were celebrating some sh--."You saw us when we were upset, you saw us when we were happy, you saw us when we were beefin', you saw us when we were celebrating some sh--." For Busta, who started his career as a member of the 1990s Long Island, New York, rap quartet Leaders of the New School, "Yo! MTV Raps" documented one of the most pivotal moments in his career. "Leaders of the New School broke up on 'Yo! MTV Raps,' with Fab Five Freddy hosting it," Busta recalled. "I'll never forget that day." It was 1993 and LONS had just released their second album, T.I.M.E. (The Inner Mind's Eye), which was anchored by their #1 Billboard Hot Rap Single "What's Next." Still, despite their growth as a group, Busta Rhymes and member Charlie Brown began collaborating with other acts as soloists. Bus had already delivered a scene-stealing verse on A Tribe Called Quest's 1991 "Scenario" and appeared on Heavy D's "A Bunch of N---as" with a then-unknown Notorious B.I.G. Brown had opened up doors for himself as well, also appearing on "Scenario" and Funkmaster Flex's "Nuttin' but Flavor" with Ol' Dirty Bastard and Biz Markie. "Me and C. Brown, we ain't really dig each other for a long time," Busta said, citing a silent competition between him and his former bandmate. During the 1993 episode of "Yo!" all the members introduced themselves for the camera, shouting out Leaders in the same breath — all except Brown. "Just lounging, getting to know myself and what my capabilities are and what I'm gonna do in life," he said. "The cameras is rolling and we're looking at each other like, what the f--- this n---a talkin' about," Busta recalled. "We're steppin' to Brown beefin' like, 'What is this?' [And he's like,] 'I don't wanna be in the group no more.' " Busta Rhymes went on to release his solo debut The Coming in 1996 and has enjoyed one of the most storied careers in hip-hop. On November 17, the Dungeon Dragon announced his latest deal with Cash Money Records and Google Music, but despite all of his highlights, the LONS split ultimately made Busta who he is today. "That was just a big moment. That was a defining moment for me," he said.

This is dope! I hope it does well and that it goes to regular MTV. Call my hopeful, but with Beavis + Butthead returning to MTV, I feel that MTV may start to fix the hot mess they've become and start bringing music back to their station. I don't get MTV2 but I would KILL to see this new episodes, new interviews along with classic music. If this show got proper shine, the mainstream face of Hip-Hop could be repair and classic artists might get some proper support.
