Mac Lethal – Love Potion 5: Deluxe Edition |
The eighth studio album oozing with RnB beats and internal flows about the opposite sex in true Ghostdini fashion. With Raekwon dropping OB4CL and now Ghost’s album “Ghostdini Wizard of Poetry in Emerald City”, some are comparing it to Outkasts SpeakerBoxx/Love Below. But to me all dope HIP HOP production. SUPPORT!

PEARL JAM “BACKSPACER”
September 28th
My Pearl Jam moment would definitely have to be the 96 Grammy Award Show performance. We can’t all call ourselves “die hard fans” but hey they set the tone for grunge heyday rock and are still doin it with they ninth album titled “Backspacer”. Lead vocalist Vedder got the idea from the good ol’ typewriter button “backspacer” calling it a great invention and in a sense applying it to the lyrics and wishing we could do the same in life. The 1st single in my opinion is incredible, upbeat, comeback muzik!
“The Fixer” –http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxDwU_SpiMI
I’m back ladies and gents! Took a time out but still up on game.
A floating afro sits at head-level behind a bus stop seat, just at the right height to make it look like anyone who sits there has quite an impressive head of hair. This poster by ‘Real Hip Hop’ is definitely an eye-catcher and a quick do for the dome!
MTV VMA’s
September 13th
If you didn’t catch them live I’m sure it will be on 100 times tomorrow so make sure you tune in. Between Janet Jackson’s opening tribute to Michael Jackson performing “SCREAM”, Kanye stealing that little girls limelight (Taylor Swift-Congrats on best female video of the year by the way!), Lady Gaga’s freak show and Beyonce’s routine performance, the VMA’s are always full of surprises. The host, Russel Brand, was a different style “comedian/host” but I appreciated the fact he showed everybody LOVE in honor of our King MJ. Big up to Wale and his crew for doing their thing during the breaks and the tribute to DJ AM. RIP!!! J Lo definitley wasn’t happy to announce Best Hip Hop video to Eminem. Slap Slap Slap! Jay z, Kanye. Really? Don’t get me wrong, Em is a great Emcee, BUT did anyone hear of Kanye THIS year??? Moving along, Lady Gaga takes best new artist. She’s so freaky but I enjoy watching her. Come on, you do too. Beyonce takes Video of the Year and calls Taylor Swift to the stage to have her moment. Beautiful, gracious, talented and humble. She rules!!! Jay and Alicia keys mugged the show NY style! Make sure you catch the re-run if you missed it. Or if you don’t feel like it at least peep Janet’s performance and Kanyeeeeeeezy’s drunk behind.

WOW SHAKIRA
August 3rd
FELLAS: This ones for you!
Since Colombian artist Shakira came into the latin muzik world she has been one of my favorite female artists because of her creativity, writing skills and of course her hypnotic hip maneuvers. I own every album shes ever made and have been known to play a new release for YEARS! Here is her latest video “Loba,” which means She Wolf. I chose the Spanish version because it just sounds better and once translated I feel it takes something from the song. Just my opinion but I am positive this will be a hit in both Latin America and the U.S. Parents be warned you may not wanna have little ones around for this one. Remember she is an extremely unique artist but she does her thing. Enjoy.

“Its a very electronic album. Dance-oriented, club oriented. I want people to have fun with it. Forget about their troubles. Forget about the crisis. Forget everything for a minute-at least while they listen to music” she said.

MAXWELL: THE BLACKSUMMER’S NIGHT TOUR
June 29th
Last night Maxwell hit the stage in downtown Phoenix at The Dodge Theatre. Laura Izabor opened the show for him and in case you don’t know who she is, youtubethis girl. Her vocals were incredible. Withonly a mic, keyboard and her partner on the tambourine they warmed the crowd withherhit single “From my heart to yours.” Maxwell kicked the show off with his classic “Get to know ya” This was his 1st performance after Sunday night’s BET Awards. His magnetic sound was felt from the floor to the ceiling. The simple stage background, incredible live band, and his down to earth personality this show will be remembered for years to come in my life. He dedicated “A WomansWork” to Michael Jackson with words tweaked a bit to suit the occasion. “Till the cops come knockin” was my personal favorite of the night. He gave us an extended version with his band showing their artistry. We all felt “fortunate” to be where we were at that very moment. He is extremely talented and is one of the few artists who can step away from the lime light and step right back in as though he never left. Another special quality is his ability to involve his fans in his shows. From the screaming to the pantydropping, I had no idea the man had moves on the floor. You can tell he truly enjoys working with his incredible band and whole heartily enjoys performing. The music moved through himandthe vocals came effortlessly. “Pretty Wings” was an emotional moment and he closed the show out with his first hit single of 96′ “Ascension (Don’t ever wonder).” Experience of a lifetime. Album “BLACKsummers Night” drops next Tuesday and 2 more within the next 2 years. PICK IT UP! You won’t be disappointed.

BET MAKES HISTORY WITH THE 2009 BET AWARDS
June 28th
In my eyes it was no accident this years BET Award fell on the Sunday after Michael Jackson’s passing. The night was filled w/recognition, praise, acknowledgment and LOVE for the legend and King of Pop. Celebrities mimicked Michael’s wardrobe throughout the night. Jamie Fox has enlightened my view on MJs death. He truly expressed how he paved the way for so many. From his wardrobe to his dancing and even his not so steady moon walking skills. I feel more at peace withhim being gone. Michael Jackson you are immortal. Jamie also brought a ROCKIN performance w/Travis Braker on the drums (Kudos) to the awards this year. Congrats to him and T-Pain for winning Best callaboration w/J. Fox. and thank u for performing my favorite song of the year, “She got her own”. Keri Hilson: performance, four nominations and Best New Artist Award!!! She always has the perfect fit. The hair and the dance moves were all inspired by MJ. She’s grown as an artist. Inspiring! Neyobrought tears to my eyes and filled my heart with joy when he sang “Lady in my Life” . To hear such a reminisant voice coming from a young performer was amazing . He snagged Best Male RnB artist, well deserved. Keri Hilson and NeYo are coming up in the game. Beyonce’s performed Ave Maria. Congrats on Best Female artist. Loved the segway to her hubby Jay. D.O.A. all day!!! Lil Wayne took Artist of the Year. Can I say I Love Mary Mary? To see them on stage at the BET awards performing “God in Me” w/Queen Latifah makes me light up inside. NeYo introduced the pioneers of classic RnB KeithSweat, Guy, and BBD. This was a plus. Reminded me of my older sister Iris. Ciara in full fledged MJ Costume singing “Heal the World” was perfect. KieshaCole looked beautiful with Monica wearing Mike-like wardrobe. Lifetime Achievement awards went to The OJays this year. Tevin Campbell, Johnny Gill, Tyrese and Trey Songz did a tribute to the historic band and I must say they got down! But The OJays proved they STILL got it. Beautiful outside and in Alicia Keys as well as Wyclef both were awarded Humanitarian Award. Wyclef last words were true. Dreams do come true! Amen to that. Video of the year went to Beyoncefor “Single Ladies.” Maxwell sang “Pretty Wings” then Drake, Lil Wayne and Young Money represented. The biggest surprise of the night was when Janet Jackson got up and expressed her thanks for the support her and the Jackson family are receiving. The most powerful event of the night. It was short but meaningful. Her courage and strength is amazing as the baby sister. Jamie Fox and NeYo made “I’ll be there” the final performance. BET you created a historic award show and tribute to our inspiration Michael Jackson in three days. Thank you BET staff, artists and everyone else who contributed to this incredible event. RIP Michael Jackson.

Mixtapeswere originally a way for up and coming artists to spread their talent. They have paved the way for many, many artists careers in the industry. Or they have been a form for Deejays and emcees to express their talent on their turn tables and on the mic with different genre’s of muzik. Hip hop would not be hip hop without mixtapes. While the muzik game crumbles mixtapes are thriving. Check this website. ANYONE can go to this site and download any mixtape from any Deejay posted. Make sure you download DJ Fashen from AZ, oh so Fresh! Go crazy. I am!

Personally I don’t think it can touch the oldie but goodieversion with a 10 ft. pole but it is a catchy beat and his vocals always make a track hot. I’d bump it sporadically lol. Lemme know what you think

SAVING THE WORLD FROM WHACK CONCERTS 09
Mixed reviews on Hot 97 Summer Jam 2009 hosted by Tracy Morgan and Angie Martinez. They started withdeejay Mr. Cee on the turntables and surprise first performance from Day 26. Pleasure P. from Pretty Ricky performing one of my 2 favorite R&B tracks right now “Boyfriend #2” (missing Luda tho) and “Lingerie.” Next up was Serani Movadoand Elephant Man in an attempt to get the crowd going but it wasn’t until Fabulous joined my man The Dream with his own live band playing “Shawty is a Ten” and “Rockin that Shit Remix” that the people started letting loose. Jada Kiss, The L.O.X. and Styles P. set the tone for Busta Rhymes and Spliff Starr to hit the stage. Swizz Beatz and Swizzy did their thangbefore the queen Mary J. Bligetook everybody down memory lane. “You’re all I need” withMethod Man was a major highlight to the show (sick)! Redman joined while marytook a break and returned to finish up withhits from the “Growing Pains” album. Jeezy, then Drake performed “Best I ever Had”. But it wasn’t till Jay-Z came on with his latest hit single “D.O.A.” that the 500,000 fans got hyphy. He definatly declared Hip Hop was sick of autotune and the crowd backed him up. Ironically T-Pain performed right after Hova. (oh yeah Souljah Boy was there too…) Juelz Santana was second to last and Jim Jones was an embarrassment by performing “We Fly High” as the final song…..ouch! Heard he was cleared things out. Peep pics to see how hot or not hot the show really was! Thanks to Hot 97
Bret Michaels Smashed
While what seemed to be a rockin performance at last nights Tony Awards by Bret Michaels, star of “Rock of Love”, he was wiped out by some stage scenery as the band Poison wrapped it up. They performed “Nothin’ But a Good Time” with the cast of “Rock of Ages,” and as Michaels exited the stage you can see him getting squashed. Diagnosis: Fractured nose and a bruised ego. Make sure you have good insurance old rockers. Can’t miss your cue. Youtube never fails me. Here’s the close up.

SADE IS GONNA DO IT AGAIN
Known for her long delays between releases, Sade and the group that bears her name are in the studio. Although Sony has not set a release date, the label hopes the record will be out by the end of 2009. Maxwell who also has taken his time working on this trilogy release is said to have heard snippets of Sade’s new muzik. , “Trust me, it’s so monolithic it’ll shake you in your shoes!” he said on a message via facebook.
“She is in the studio and the album will come when it is ready,” a source at Sony told Billboard. “You don’t wait for years for one and then rush it.”
Woooo! I can’t wait for either one. Once I know the date we all will. Here is my all time favorite just for funnzies. Enjoy. I always do!

IT WAS ALL A FRONT
During last week’s MTV Movie Awards, Eminen walked out of the show with an outraged look on his face after comedian Sacha Baron Cohen (dressed as his new film’s character Bruno) came down from the ceiling, with his rear end fully exposed, and landed on Mr. Mathers‘ lap. The shows producer’s caught the stunt and images of Cohen’s rear end in Em’s face hit the net soon after. Although Slim Shady stormed out in anger, many thought the stunt was planned. Still, the speculation had some believing Emmay not have been in on the matter. Here’s what he had to say…a lil gay in my opinion but you gotta sell records right artists? Ha!
“Sacha called me when we were in Europe and he had an idea to do something outrageous at the movie awards. I’m a big fan of his work so I agreed to get involved with the gag. I’m thrilled that we pulled this off better than we rehearsed it. It had so many people going ‘nuts’ so to speak. Everyone was blowing me up about it.” After the ceremony I went back to my hotel and laughed uncontrollably for about three hours. Especially after I saw it on air.”
Yeah, he sounds like he feels stupid bout doing it after he watched it and now he just saying it was funny. Don’t know too many men that would be koo with that, but hey to each is own…after watchin the tape a few times I realized Ems actingsskills still are not that great. This version on youtube is hilarious. South Park Remix

COMING FROM LEFT FEILD: DRAKE
June 5th
Previously known for his role on “Degrassi” the 22 year old new comer from Toronto is shaking things up. “Best I Ever Had” is drowning the airwaves and clubs. Girls love him guys want to be him. Move over Chris Brown! Rhi Rhi’s focused on a new Hottie. Not binded to a label there are rumors that he might end up with and 2 million dollar bonus if he signs with Island records. An unauthorized album, “The Girls Love Drake,” which features selections from Drake’s mixtape “So Far Gone”the tracks, was released May 28 by a label called Canadian Money Entertainment and distributed by the Independent Online Distribution Alliance (IODA) on iTunes, Rhapsody and Amazon. Things are still up in the air but by God does the boy got options. Here are my 2 FAVORITE TRACKS off the tape just to school you main streamers. The kid’s got content at his age. There is plenty to come from this youngen so don’t doubt him. Lots of collaborations in the works. Gotta give it up.
“Successful”ft. Trey Songz and Lil Wayne (The Ringtone and the anthem baby)

Aka my Hero. Her muzik has power in my life that is why I am excited to let you all know that she is back in the studio ready to put heat out again. If you haven’t heard the new single produced by Darkchild featuring none other than Drake/Drizzy “The One” make sure you click the link below to check it out. Neither is a gimmick to the game so its guaranteed to be a hit on the radio. Super excited for the album because there is never a let down. Till then I wait patiently for a release date and then I pass it on.

WAR OF THE EGO’s
June 5th, 2009
So I’m taking a vote. I love Beyonce’s”Ego” from the lyrics of the song, to the video the girl has a “right to feel like she’s that bitch.” But recently Trey Songzadded her song to the list of tracks he’s been remaking along with everybody and their entire family and calling them remixes. Now before I go on, I must say that I used to be a huge Trey Songz fan back in the day. That was before his massive “Ego” spread like a cancer and infected all his songs. A different angle from Beyonce’s version but I ain’t mad at the “remix.” Let me know what you think

Jay Z Can’t Stop
June 5th, 2009
It looks like Jay-Z will release “The Blueprint 3? on the seventh anniversary of original “Blueprint’s” release and I can’t wait!!! The rapper’s latest CD is expected to hit stores on September 11th. Billboard says they have confirmed the release through multiple sources after an Atlantic Records executive posted the news on his Twitter page Wednesday. “The Blueprint 3? will reportedly be distributed by Atlantic, with the album falling under Jay’s recently-created RocNationlabel. An official announcement on the matter is expected to come Sunday. Jay-Z recently paid Universal Music Group/Island Def Jam five-million dollars for the rights to “The Blueprint 3,” which was to be his last under the label. Last year, the rapper signed a 360-deal with Live Nation for 150-million dollars.
Hot 97 debuted this track tonight “D.O.A.” & with the direction hip-hop has taken lately, Jigga goes in for battle. Listen up Soulja Girl.

In Yo Face Em
Marshall Mathersaka Eminem had a crash landing 69 style on last nights MTV movie awards by Sascha Baron Cohen. Since Baron Cohen’s latest character is the flamboyantly gay, fashion reporter “Bruno,” it is likely that Eminem was targeted not only because so much attention was turned toward the “Relapse” performer, but because of Eminem’s reputation of the “tough guy” homophobe. The net and blogs are heated up with assumptions on whether this was scripted or not. Ive reviewed the video several different times and in MY personal opinion I do believe Sascha and MTV were aware of what was about to literally go down on Em’s face but I dont think the King of mockery had any idea. I would have expected a little more of reaction from Em other than the “what the *&^%” but tweet rumor has it that altercation was much worse than what we the viewers got. In my opinion dude should have caught a beat down of a life time. Had they teabagged the Jonas sisters there would have been a completely different reaction. Check it out.

THE DREAM and Christina Milian Tying the Knot…Say it isn’t So!!!
As much as I hate to speak it into exsitance along with my fellow bloggers its true…the “Radio Killah” is ready to wife up Christina Milian. After multiple denials by Ms. Dip it Low pictures clearly show that the rumor is true. Hold up, let me wipe my nose. Okay. They were spotted vacationing in Hawaii clearly happy and engaged. The grapevine also tells us that the night he gave the ring to her it was too big. So The Dream Man made it his mission to have it fitted for her ring finger so she can rock it at dinner with their friends. Damn, so sad I missed my chance. Congrats to the lovely couple. Peep the pic. (thanks Egypt) Now stop denying it Tina and make it official.

The Future of Music: Keri Hilson
YES! I LOVE STRONG TALENTED YOUNG WOMEN HUSLTIN’! Rumor has it she will be in MY CITY on June 16th along with Bobby Valentino, THE DREAM, and KieshaCole. Sounding like a HOT AZ SUMMER!!! Fresh, Stylish and Talented Keri Hilson gives ESPN the scoop on work, fitness and fashion. Check it out:

Keri Hilson balanced sports and music when she was in high school.
Hilson’s original claimto fame came from writing hits like Britney Spears’ “Gimme More.” Lately she’s been penning her own hit singles like “Knock You Down,” featuring KanyeWest. We caught up with Hilson in Atlanta while she was on a break from touring.
ESPN RISE: Congratulations on your album. How does it feel to hear yourself on the radio?
Keri Hilson: It’s great! Sometimes when I hear my music I still can’t believe that’s me. This is a total blessing.
ESPN RISE: What was high school like while growing up in Atlanta?
Hilson: High school life was a lot of fun. I ran in a small circle, but I had the best times.
ESPN RISE:Where you involved in sports in high school?
Hilson: Most definitely. Basketball was my sport. I received best offensive honors in 10th and 11th grade and then the MVP in 12th grade. I always had a sense of humor, so one year I was the school’s mascot for a season. On top of basketball, I also swam for the USA junior national team.
ESPN RISE: With all your athletic endeavors, how in the world did you find time for music?
Hilson: I loved both so I had to find a balance. Weekends belonged to my music. It wasn’t easy, but I found a way.
ESPN RISE: What was the turning point when you knew Keri Hilson the artist could make it to the next level?
Hilson: I’d have to say the day I met Timbaland. We connected from day one, and he understood me. From that day on it was on. The rest is history.
ESPN RISE: We’ve all seen how you dress in videos. But how would you describe your style when the cameras and lights are off.
Hilson: I’d have to say tomboy chic. I love my denim and my kicks.
ESPN RISE: What are your favorite kicks?
Hilson: I rock Creative Recreation and Nike Dunk hi’s. But my favorites are the Nike Grecko’s. Very hard to find but still my favorites.
ESPN RISE: What do you have in heavy rotation on your iPod?
Hilson: Let’s see, Lauren Hill, The-Dream’s new album, and Ryan Leslie.
ESPN RISE: What advice would you give to a young artist trying to get where you are today?
Hilson: My advice is to be persistent, relentless and have a passion for what you do. I feel I’m grinding more now then when I was trying to get signed.
