The Dream- Too Good to Leave (click to download)

i guess it's safe to say he's not singing this to Christina Milian.

wedding march, anyone?

i mean...it's Andre 3000. need i say more?



ok, the only thing i will say is that this will be the song that will be playing at me and Lavell Crump's (that's David Banner to you) wedding as we walk out of the church. #seriousface

Andre 3000- I Do (click to download)

Real R&B

(insert cheesy, kool-aid smile here) Quality R&B is back and back with a vengeance. i imagine the following artists sat around like a meeting of The Justice League and said "something must be done!" like i've stated before....this pop/techno/fistpumping crap they're marketing as R&B is killing me softly and i'm glad many of the greats are coming back to put an end to my misery. enjoi!

REAL R&B

yes Lord. Faith Evans is back. Been jamming to this track for a few weeks now so I'm glad she's releasing a video. Between Faith and Tank....real R&B might just stand a fighting chance. No more of this R&B/House/Pop mess. #quality

"The Naked Soul of Sweet Jones

Pimp C ft. Jazza Pha- Fly Lady (click to download)

Pimp is dead ya'll. For real. But his legacy lives on through his music. This is yet another #quality track from the Pimp himself. God I miss him :(

marsha, marsha, marsha.

D. Woods- Lady in the Street Mixtape (click to download)

D. Woods has always been one of my fav members of Danity Kane and this mixtape might have given her the edge up on her former bandmates. The title track "Lady in the Street" is straight, 100%, pure, uncut FIYA!

no one knows about me
so they can't talk about me
bet if i open up to you
you won't forget about me
i keep an air of mystery so you can dream about me
i know just what you want and baby that's what i'll be

Clawd have mercy.

eff a barbie.

Meet Boog Brown. Detroit born, ATL grinding 100% Female MC. In other words...what my life has been missing.

sheesh.

talk about art imitating life.

GOOD Music

do i need a reason to celebrate?

Tank ft Drake- Celebration (click to download)

Speaking of comebacks...Tank is back on the scene with a new album set to drop September 21st. He's teamed up with Drake for this smooth track and i am a fan. While I must admit i'm more than a little tired of Drake, this is one of my favorite Drake verses.

how'd i do? how'd i do?
baby tell me how you feel
they say real girls ain't never perfect
perfect girls ain't real
i'd agree, but i guess we'll just wait and see
cause i swear you act like perfect's the only way to be

He's Backkkkk!!!!

Kanye West ft Pusha-T: Runaway (click to download)

not only did my man Yeezy deliver the top performance of the night (no surprise there) but his new song "Runaway" ft Pusha-T of The Clipse.....fiya!!! I cannot wait for his album to drop (sometime in November i'm hearing). this song is beyond quality. go Yeezy go.

mannnn wha?!?

Stop the excuses don't believe the lies
make up you mind and try instead of
Making mountains out of molehills
when their not even real
Need to go and follow your dreams
its not as hard as it seems

did i inspire him to write this? kinda feel like i did. hmm...interesting.

...all is right with the world.

Ron Isley ft Lauryn Hill- Close to You (click to download)

Ron Isley and Lauryn Hill have a song together. In my wildest of dreams i don't think i could have imagined this. *mercy*

don't say i didn't warn ya...tisk tisk

Willow Smith (daughter of Will Smith & Jada Pinkett-Smith and sister to Karate Kid's Jaden Smith...ya know, in case you've been living under a rock lately) is not only going to take over the world, but she's going to b****slap the likes of Rihanna, Ciara and that poor unfortunate soul known as Cassie in the progress. But young Willow will not slap said starlets with her hand for that doesn't fall under her parent's 'religion' of Scientology (hmmm more of a Baptist thing maybe?) no, she's slapping them with her hair.

Willow Smith- Whip My Hair (click to download)

well, whadaya know?

soooooo i really don't like Nikki Minaj. i just can't put her in the same category as Queen Latifah, Eve, Salt & Pepa, Lady of Rage, etc... i also can't get with all the hype that comes with dear Nikki. if you're going to rap...then rap. i don't see the need for all that "extra-ness" that she brings along with her. i feel like she's more of a character than a rapper. and i think the same person that writes Lil Wayne's rhymes has lent a helping hand to the self-proclaimed "Harajuku Barbie".

on the other hand....can't really fault the girl for making money. she knew what she needed to do from jump street in order for her to really make a name for herself in the rap game. after all, it is a predominately male dominated industry and sex sells. who knew that colorful wigs/extensions would also sell? (sidenote...she should really hook up with Bronner Brothers and really get paid).

there is a point to this entry, i promise :) while joy-riding through the QC with my Ace, she put me on to the track below. and two miraculous things happened;

1. i listened to a Gucci song and actually enjoyed it.

and 2. the thought actually crossed my mind that Nikki Minaj (or whoever her ghostwriter is) might actually be on to something.

anywho, listen and enjoy because surprisingly, i did.

Gucci Mane ft Nikki Minaj & Rocko- Easy (click to download)

[no title required]

...i'm just posting this for my own personal gain.

i'm back!!!!!

ahhhhhhhh yes ma'am, yes ma'am, yes ma'am!!
the comp is back up and running and i am BACK!
*deep sigh* i feel like i missed so much.
but i'll make up for it ;)

first of it's kind

if i can successfully post via my Samsung Instinct...i'll officially be a bad _____.

"don't be down there facebooking on the iChat!"...pt II

did i mention im back on twitter?
oh yea...
my b shawty.

@Elle_OVE

Bilal- Think it Over

this song is the biz. nothing like acoustic music either.

O_o

Sean Garrett ft Drake- Feel Love (click to download)

quality...quality...quality...i cannot stress it enough. this song is the bee's knees, the cat's meow...it's all that and a bag o'chips. i usually don't really pay much attention to anything that Sean Garrett puts his hand to but...this is def worth the listen. quality summer vibes. shoutout to Aubrey.

Ambitious Girl

Wale- Ambitious Girl (click to download)

soooo Wale The Great has done it again. as a poet myself, i must say that i really appreciate Wale shedding a little light on spoken word. this is truly an example of art imitating life. ahhh!! this track is def gonna be one to get me through this coming semester, if not the whole academic year. quality...quality...QUALITY!

"butterfly filled stomach"

been fighting off a migrane since about 8pm and still cant sleep...hopped on Youtube and found some gems...i shoulda taken up dance at some point in my youth.





so i couldn't find Episode 3 of 3 :( but this guy is really talented. and he dedicates all his dances; especially the above ones, to his girlfriend. *sigh* must be nice

nothin like a lil blu-eyed soul

Mac Miller- Kool-Aid & Frozen Pizza

*mercy*

Rich Hil ft Casey Veggies, Carter & The Pricks- I'm Gone (click to download)

i honestly do not know where this track has been all my life.

"im tryna get beside you like the number 9...dime"

J.Cole- In The Morning (click to play)

soooo i really haven't listened to J.Cole like that. and being that he's from Fayetville....smh, this should have been done already! anyway this "In The Morning"...the truth. enjoy. and pass along.

"don't be down there facebooking on the iChat!"

did i mention how i deleted my twitter last week? people on my timeline were just getting on my nerves and rather than going through all of my followers/followees (is that a word?...o well) i just deleted the whole thing.

but it's sooooo hard....life without Twitter....what was i thinking!?

i think in tweets.
i text in tweets.
i prolly even dream in tweets.

& that's how you know social networking sites are taking over the world. i think that cheery little bird Twitter has as it's logo might just be the "mark of the beast" #butimjussayin (and there i go...)

*sn...the title of this blog is a Squidbillies reference. get with it or get lost*

&& the gifts keep coming!

IllVibeCollective-Spontaneous Waiting (click to download)

sooooo call me the Hunter and Music is my Prey. more heat for the streets if you will. and there's so many gems that come with the attached link.


enjoy.

"so let's toast over paper plates & styrofoam cups"

Duce- PIMPlee (click to download)

ok so, i'll be the first to admit...i'd never heard of this Duce kid before about 1 min and 20 secs ago. but i like his style. and the attached image def peaked my interest. enjoy ;)

L-Boogie The Great

http://usershare.net/zky6o4bznxu8 Lauryn Hill-Repercussions

i loooooove Lauryn Hill. i'd give my left teat for her to release a new album. but instead i'll settle for this leaked "newness"....*mercy*

"they keep on passing me by..."

"if life's a race then tell me why are you so stationary?
the whole world's passing you by
you try to stop them
but to no avail
they look at you crazy
and you have the nerve to wonder why
they say time waits...for no man
but some reason you don't think that applies to you
hate it for you when you're left behind...
and then you get mad and say others are changing
well, isn't that the point of life?
your dreams..are passing you by
your means...are passing you by
your ways...are passing you by
today...it passed you by"

Chrisette Michele- A Day in the Life

again...another one of the songs that i LOVE.

...& if he say you ain't, that boy done lost his mind

i love this song. and if i could dance, believe i would be interpretive dancing to this. this song gets me through and can be heard blaring from the speakers of my '99 mercury sable as i traverse the streets of the Queen City en route to work/school/food lion...pretty much anywhere.

im not that big of a drake fan anymore but this song...makes me wanna be a bad b****.

"you looking good girl, go go go get 'em girl, go go go hit 'em girl..."

*sigh*
