Kanye West “Homecoming”

 
This post started out as a test post for me. I wanted to see if I could use WordPress embedable music feature and it apparently worked. But rather than take the song down, I figured I’d keep it up.  
After all it is from the CD with the biggest 1st week sales of 2007 so why not?
Enjoy [...]

“Old School” Joint of the Day: Immature “Please Don’t Go”

 
This video was a serious exercise in boyband cliches.
Matching outfits… Check!
Singing in the rain over heartache… Check!
White Suits and Flashing Lights… Check! and Check!
I remember when this video came out. I believe I was in high school (God I miss Randolph High sometimes) my good buddy Ardmead was a HUGE Immature fan, like cut a chick for [...]

Introducing “Amountboyz”….

If you have ever gone to my Myspace Profile at all last year, you would know these people already. I had their song “Walks Away” on my page for a really long time. They are a group of entertainers from NYC who pretty much grind, grind, and grind some more. They have made a name for [...]

Fun at the ER!

 
I went visited hell on earth yesterday (The Hospital Emergency Room), and I am doing much better now. I just have to say, the healthcare system is a real joke. And I don’t know why I get shocked by the lack of intelligence of the people you encounter there.
There were so many idiots in the waiting room. [...]

“Reaper” Wrap Up: 9/25/07

 
Brace yourself people, because the news I am about to bring you may come as a huge shocker!
Could the best new show of the season be on The CW network?
Wait a second and let’s register this. The CW? The same network that gave “Veronica Mars” the boot, ditched “Everwood” in favor of “7th Heaven”, and drove ”Gilmore [...]

“Old School” Joint of the Day: P.M. Dawn “I’d Die Without You”

This is one of those super dramatic ballads that oddly worked. When you look back on it, it’s a really good song. It’s rare that you get vulnerability from a male R&B artist anymore.
And passing fads like Sean Kingston take note, singing out of your throat (like a frog with a cold) AND being overweight is [...]

“Alien vs Predator: Requiem” Poster

So I won’t front, it’s an interesting looking poster. The tagline is pure cheese, but I assume that is what they were going for. After viewing the trailer, at least the movie looks like mindless fun that looks better than part 1.
So I’m sure I’ll go see it. I’m a sucker for exploding heads.
And by the way, the poster is totally [...]

New Video From Alicia Keys!

I really like Alicia Keys. I wasn’t a huge fan of her 1st album originally, but it won me over slowly. Her 2nd album was on heavy rotation in my CD player. So it’s a given that I’m gonna cop her 3rd album when it’s released on November 13th.
While I am a fan of [...]

“Heroes” Wrap Up: 9/24/07

 
I have mentioned on here plenty of times about how I was underwhelmed with the Season 1 Finale of “Heroes”. I enjoyed the 1st season. I was into it, but when u really look at what’s going on, several things pop up.
No TV show is perfect. But come on, for a show called “Heroes” there is [...]

Nicole Scherzinger Enjoys Being Mediocre Huh?

Sure she is sexy as hell. She can sing. She can dance. So WHY is her solo album shaping up to be an exercise in wackness?
I actually liked the “failed” first single “Whatever U Like” better than her new single “Baby Love” which is a lazy retread of “Irreplaceable”. It basically sucks. The country guitar [...]

“30 Rock” Clip of the Week!

Again, my love for the NBC show “30 Rock” is becoming a little too obvious on my blog. So this will probably be the last clip I post on here until the 2nd season premiere. I personally think the show is really good, but sometimes it can be not as “new viewer” friendly as it [...]

“Old School” Joint of the Day: Horace Brown “Things We Do For Love”

This is one of those songs that almost ALWAYS plays at a night club. And if you often go out, you know exactly what I am talking about. The DJ will start to play this during his Mini Old School set, and he usually prolongs the intro and scratches it up, just to ensure everyone [...]

Introducing “Flyleaf”….

Of course I am not going to sit here and try to take credit for introducing this band to anyone.
Truth is, they have done a really good job with building a solid fan base on their own. Their self titled CD, (which I bought at the then discount price of $7.99 while shopping downtown) came [...]

Who exactly is Oprah trying to fool?

I was flicking through the channels a couple of days ago and Oprah was on. She was talking to Jenny McCarthy about her son’s battle with Autism. It was a good interview until I noticed something strange with Oprah, so strange that I had to snap a photo with my phone. 
 
So why is Oprah trying [...]

“Old School” Joint of the Day: Silk “Hooked On You”

Everyone probably remembers Silk from their massive #1 hit “Freak Me” which hit the streets in 1993 and was all over the damn radio. Even nasty little grade schoolers were singing along to “Let Me Lick You Up And DOWN!”
Truth be told, I never liked “Freak Me” even as a youngster I knew the song [...]

“30 Rock” Clip of the Week!

“30 Rock” is a show I grew to enjoy because I disliked the first few episodes. I stopped watching and gave up on it but I caught up again after hearing all of the great reviews it got toward the end of last season. Now I don’t miss an episode.
Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin [...]

“YouTube” Clip of the Day!

I think someone needs to talk to her like this right now.
Enjoy!

Question: Why was he alone with a stranger?

While I watch Daytime TV, it never fails for the ad for the Verizon FIOS service to always come on while I am awaiting Paternity Results.
So when I watch the ad I don’t think it’s cute or funny like most people do. I just think to myself, “Why is he alone [...]

“Old School” Joint of the Day: Al B. Sure “Nite and Day”

Dont front on the power of Al B. Sure’s unibrow!
You know this song was your jam back in the day. I won’t front, I still jam to it if it comes on my Ipod during a cleaning session at my house. Then I give the dust bunnies under my [...]

New Videos From Kanye and Common!

Even with his stupid backstage meltdown at the VMA’s, the dude still manages to make me like and dislike him at the same time. I may hate his antics, but his videos are always good.
The video for “Good Life” is probably one of the best this year.

Common is an artist I [...]
