"List seven songs that you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now, shaping your spring summer. Post these instructions in your blog along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to."

So Sad: Amy Winehouse

Amy Winehouse acting like the crack head that she is.


I am sorry but this is just sad to me I hurried up and got this woman's album when it came out the voice and the music just had me in a trance and to watch her just sabotage her life is tragic.

If there ever was some one who needs saving it's her.

This is how you move the crowd.

Rappers take note.

R.I.P: Bo Diddley December 30, 1928 – June 2, 2008

Man I did not see this one coming at all.

It's easy to take people even legends for grant it, you dont go to the concerts or buy the music because in your mind you think there always going to be there, than you wake up and there gone.

And you never get a chance to say thanks for the sounds.

Diddley died of heart failure at his home in Archer, Fla., spokeswoman Susan Clary said. He had suffered a heart attack in August, three months after suffering a stroke while touring in Iowa. Doctors said the stroke affected his ability to speak, and he had returned to Florida to continue rehabilitation.

He was 79.

Critics say he was the bridge between blues and Rock n Roll and if you listen to his music you can see why.

I know Heaven is rocking hard tonight.

R.I.P.

What I am Rockin: Gorrilaz

Gorrilaz



You Know if this was an actual group they would be huge (the name would have to go), in fact I think it was a waste of good music to put to a twisted version of Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Oh well.

The last two albums were pretty good a gumbo of pop, rap, rock electronic, and house.

Not bad at all.

A Little Musical Humor.

This killed me.

What I am Rockin: Sam & Dave

Bringing back the classics.

Hold on I'm coming.



How many sample came out of this?

Stunna of the Week: Mary J. Blige

I always thought Mary was cute but all that drama as a young lady was a turn off so I never really paid much attention to her or her music which I considered a woman thing not for me at all.



But unlike a lot of young artist turned old, Mary, music wise, physically wise and attitude wise has aged like fine wine.




No longer the poster child for B.B.W. she has moved on with her life and music and those who are her true fans have moved on with her or found other drama filled artist to champion their broken hearts, (See every single damn woman in R&B who can screech out a note).

So it is with great pleasure that I put her on my Stunna list.

What I am Rockin: Oran "Juice" Jones

This is the greatest busted song ever, the talk at the end had me rolling when I was a kid.

The Rain

What a Lousy weekend.

The Lupe Fiasco and Wyclef concerts were sold out so I did not get to see either one.

Thats what I get for waiting.

Stunna of the Week: Three for 1 Salt-N-Pepa-N-Spinderella

The Hip-Hp version of the R&B girl groups complete with questions of talent, relevance, bed room drama, money problems and of course cattiness.

Salt-N-Pepa-N-Spinderella

What Hip-Hop head did not have a crush on Salt-n-Pepa and Spin?

They were good for Hip-Hop, sexy with out being slutty, conscious, talented, hell they need to make a come back.

I do not remember them losing any of their momentum in the 90's like every one says, I just figured they wanted a break from each other.

After watching an episode of the reality show,(which sucks), they came back to my mind like a good dream.

I wouldn't mind seeing the old timers drop another album so long as their art matured with them.
