New Albums you Must have
Well here we are in the late end of March.. Took a lil break from bloggin about music, but I Have to update you on all the goodies out there. Everyone knows that the new Kanye album is Vicous!! 808's and Heartbreaks took a few plays for it to grow on me. Once the growing began, I was stuck. See you in my nightmares, Say you will, Robocop, Love Lock down.. well shit that whole album is dope. Kanye is strong in his musical talents, and he is always gettin it in!
Beyonce's I am Sasha Fierce, what can I say? Ive been a slight Beyonce fan from the Destinys Child Days. She can put out club bangers and booty shakers. This album was a taste of something different though. I wast really feelin the Diva thing. Sounded too much like Weeyzs A Millie.. wasn't original to me. Felt like Beyonce was being fake to who she is. This album was more of an electric feel verses her normal love ballads.Some of my favorites are Radio, Broken hearted girl and my top fav which is mostly like Beyonce Halo.. Man I love that Track.. Halo was personally addressed to me from my soul. Not a love song to a man, but a song that sings to my soul! I was goin through tuff times when this track was released, the melody and strings pulled on my soul in a way that corrected all my wrongs and kept my head high to the vision infront of me.
Now on to the Newest Albums.
Ryan Leslie's self titled album Ryan Leslie, is great. Ryan Lesile has been in the game for a while, and like most of the best artists he's been working behind the scenes producing for may artists. Working with Bad Boy, and his production company Next Selection.I love watchin him on you tube. The way he works the instruments over each other producting a perfect melody is like magic infront of your eyes. He has a very in tune ear to music.Keep doin it Ryan..some of the hottest tracks on that album are.. Shouldn't have to wait, Outta the Blue, Diamond Girl and one of my favorites Gibberish.. Not many people give him the play and respect he needs and deserves. I personally love this album.
Ok so now its time for a female. This week Keri Hilson released her new album. To my great surprise, this album is good. I really dont put very much faith into new female artists who have tracks that are ft. with The hottest Rapper out at the time. Most of the time we get one banger on the album and the rest is trash, but Keri Hilson seems to be the diamond in Ruff of trashy music. Her ability is so obviously in song writing, and her soulful voice is clearly a storng hold on her talent as well. She has worked with many many veterans in the music game writing #1 hit after #1 hit. You know her money is right, so putting out an album was more of a passion vs. money driven. I was surprised by the various producers that blessed this album. you Have timberland, Kanye, Neyo just to name a few. One of my favorite tracks is her single out right now with Kanye and Neyo.. Knocks me down. Its nice when you can feel what an artist is trying to do with their music.Keri Hilson has a very bright future, and gold and platinum line he roads she rides down.
Now to my favorite of them all The-Dream
Yes ladies and Gentleman he has dropped yet another bangger! The Radio Killa is the real dilla! I love this guy! I was hooked on his music the moment I heard him sing those famous lines "fuck that Ni$$@" Love Vs. Money is the 2nd chapter in the musical of The Dream story book of hits. Dream apparently has been hurt by someone, and sorry to say I love it, Im livin the same thing. I swear this guy has split personality disorder cause it is obviously played out in his music. How his songs constantly go in different directions by the end of the song. LIke Mr. yeah.. starts out up beat and melodic, then twards the end slows down with finger snaps, piano harmonies and souful singing.. YOU can always come back!! love it love it! He has a story to tell about his broken heart, thought money would make life right we all learn the hard way money cant buy you love, but it can buy you christian lacroix.. Many people haven't jumped on dream yet, which at times can be good, then they dont murder him on the radio.. but then he doesn't get the play and album sales he deserves.
So far this year has been a very exciting year in music for me, I just cant wait to see what the summer holds. I know i will be blastin The Dream and Keri Hilson. I am waiting to see when Alicia Keys will drop a new album.. and i know luda is back in studio.. Until next time. Keep it right and Do it 4 ur soul!
Soul work!

No Longer Do I wonder

Wow.. That's all I can say! Mr.West put it down last night. He is defined in my book as a true performer. He stole the show away,put it was really no match. He knew he was the one we all were waiting to see. Amazing! Cocky, no not at all just confident. Not in vein either! He rocked the show from the moment his presents was felt in the stadium, to the moment he walked off! Most Hip Hop shows Ive been to, The "artist" has like his whole family, their friends and some dudes they just met on the stage. Oh no, Mr.West is a one man show! The only other member on the stage was he intergalactic spaceship. She was helping him on his journey through the universe. Lettin him know that he was the only star that shinned the brightest! I LOVE THAT! Like he said "Im a star, how could I not shine!
Every song was a performance, a show in it self. He wasn't runnin out of breath, or missin any words.This was his gift to us and we were all very thankful and welcome.. lol
Positivity flows from within him, nothing like anything out here. He is ready for the world of hip hop to come running back to him. With his infectious beats and uplifting lyrics how could you not love this guy? Yeah he thinks hes the shit! I would too if i wrote "Can't tell me nothing" I don't think you can name one person who hasn't rapped along to at least 6 bars of that song. He doesn't tell kids to go rob someone, or talk about all his boys that died. He puts you on to the game. The game of life, and if you just try you don't have to stare at the same four walls all your life.I guess when your used to bein ripped off you dont know how to respect the good stuff. That's just what he is the goods. Common, Lupe, John Legend, Talib,Raheem DeVaughn, Alicia keys. Those are artists.. they don't just jump around screamin some nonsence. What they bring is what is buried deep down into the depths of their souls. The hurt the joy the love, all expressed beautifully through there vision of what song is! A story told in the eyes of the musician. Some said Mozart was insane, but didn't he makes some of the most amazing music? I believe so! Don't criticize a man just because he knows what he brings is not your typical walk in the park.. Instead, stop, listen bob your head and take in what he has to say. You might gain some knowledge, I mean he is a College Grad!
They always hate to see you on the top.Once you get there, your tested on how and why you made it through. So then they gotta bring you down. Yet i don't think Kanye is coming down anytime soon. It looks to me if he took some good advise, he listened to his heart. Planted his harvest and now its growin wild! Hes chillin on the top on the mountain, built on the ROC!
Theater of The Mind

The drought of music in this dry deserts has finally had its down pour of new albums. In the last couple months we've had some albums come out, but nothing to go crazy about... UNtil now! Just last Monday my favorite artist dropped a new album.Christopher "Ludacris" Bridges. I am a huge Ludacris fan. I believe that he doesn't get the respect, and play that he deserves. He seems to stay above the radar because of all his features on other artists albums. when his albums drops not so many fans jump to catch what he's throwin at us. well Mr. Bridges you caught me years ago, and I'm still hooked. This new album is Amazing, with a capital A! The same lyrical Luda, with a new groove behind him. Its like his swagga has gone from G to Gentleman.. Theater of The Mind, is a show stoppin hip hop lovers dream come true. Every hot artist out now, makes a co star appearance on this classic. The all star cast is a compilation of what made us love hip hop!
Each track has a story to tell, from the mind of a money makin, booty shackin, lyrical master, Chris the menace.
Luda even finds a fun way to in salt him while still makin his point. On everyone hate chris.. he starts the track with FU LUda!! His point is, hes gonna be the ish.. so hate on him! "Rappers still talkin Shi# like they was rhymin in farts!" Ha, gotta love his jokes! You know it wouldn't be an album if Tpain wasnt on it. With his single out right now, One More Drink Luda tells the story of a typical clubbers love life. Cause ya know people start to look better with that shot or two of patrizzie.
Luda always seems to please the ladies, he is the finest man in the rap game in my opinion! He tells you how to please her in his single I know what them Girls like. Throw some Chris Brown on it, and a thick bass bounce and you got a hit! Now there are tracks on this album that are pure music sickness, in a good way! Last of a Dying breed, Mvp, I do it for hip hop, and Do the right thang. Last of a Dying breed is a track ft. none other than Weezy F Baby, Lil Wayne. This is a reminder that real hip hop still lives and breaths in the lungs of these two artist and their thoughts and passions are here to stay. Mvp is the only track on the album with no Co stars... He is the mvp, Luda reminds us with this track. With a premo beat behind him how could you ever doubt the talent? One of the hottest tracks co stars two of Hip Hops biggest pioneers, Jay Z and Nas. The beat is a lullaby to the streets, and a poem to hip hops soul! This track is a reminder that we are NOT To settle for just some garbage, we deserve real music. This is not a counterfeit. Some rappers forgot what a Passion is and luda reminds us!
The last track on the alubm is co starting yet again another true hip hop star, Common! Being a huge common fan, I love this track. This track is tellin us that life is too short to be walkin around like your sleepin, wake up and take control of your life. You can do and be more!
Use your brain homie do the right thang!
Theater of the mind is an answered prayer from the Hip Hop gods. Ludacris is a metaphorically enabled, bright future bringing man. Ludacris has grown a lot from the young man he once was. yet his funny in your face style has remained the same. I for one never want that to change. Go get this master piece you wont be disappointed.
Thank you luda, for killin it yet again. I am a huge fan, and i will always respect your hustle. I don't feel disrespected by you. I know that you get what you give, and I am a woman!
