Album Review/Preview: Ne-Yo “Because of You”

 

Click here to check out the full album preview of Ne-Yo’s Because of You

The album starts out with the song, “Because of You”. Ne-Yo ironically channels Michael Jackson to sing about a subject I’m sure we all can agree MJ has no idea about: an addiction to sex. lol. This song is making some waves on the radio, but I don’t feel like this is a particularly strong song to start the album off with. I mean Ne-Yo is back with a highly anticipated sophomore album and this song just doesn’t give you much to get enthusiastic about from the jump.

However, Ne-Yo turns up the heat with a little help from Jay-Z on “Call Me Crazy”. Hov being the consummate pro that he is adds some nice flavor to the track and provides a nice intro for Ne-Yo to come on with the vocals. I like this song, very catchy, something everybody can really groove to.

The production on “Can We Chill” sounds straight out of the 80s…kinda like something I would expect to see on Vanity’s fictional tv show 7th Heaven on the movie “The Last Dragon”. Anyways, on the song he propositions a lady he is just meeting to come and chill with him. The singing on the chorus is incredibly corny. If he was going to try and drag out a note, he should’ve done so in a less monotonous way. To sum up this song: amateur.

On “Do You”, Ne-Yo asks his ex-lover “do you ever think of me”. The beat is really hot, his vocals are okay, but the storytelling on the song is really good. He gets very sentimental on the song as he expresses feelings of regret and remorse. This song kind of reminds me of his hit “So Sick”. If he were to release this as a single, this could be something that resonates with both women and men.

On every sophomore album, artists always feel the need to add a clichéd song about their woes as a celebrity. On the song “Addicted” he refutes the supposed misquotes of him saying he was addicted to sex that surfaced last year. I find that ironic considering that the title track of the album is about him being addicted to sex. Come on Ne-Yo get it together! At one point he tries to channel Prince’s high register and fails miserably at hitting those notes. I’m gonna just chop this song up as a joke lol. Moving right along…

Ne-Yo teams up with Jennifer Hudson on the lover’s quarrel/song “Leaving Tonight”. Ne-Yo opens the song saying that love cannot exist without trust to try and assuage his lover’s concerns about him possibly cheating. That’s when JHud comes in and lays out her case. It seems like she has all the evidence that she needs and if her instincts are correct then his ass is leaving tonight. Ne-Yo counters that she should trust him and he’s not going anywhere. I’m really digging the old school vibe of this song. Ne-Yo and JHud have great chemistry on the song and this is a great collaboration vocally and lyrically. This is definitely a highlight on the album. Ne-Yo should have more faith in his distinctive voice rather than trying to emulate other artists.

On “Ain’t Thinking About You”, Ne-Yo defiantly tells his ex that he is up and leaving her to go out and have a good time. I really don’t know what’s up with the beat on this song, it’s a total distraction from the lyrics and sounds like it’s from a video game. However, Ne-Yo sounds great on the song. It seems like he is getting stronger vocally as the album goes along and showing some growth from his last album. If the beat wasn’t so corny I think this could be a guy’s anthem for when their girl is tripping…but I think if a guy rolled up to a car full of hot chicks playing this song it would raise some eyebrows. lol. With that said, I still like the song.

Ne-Yo switches up his vocal sound to sound like what I’m guessing must be Prince. He goes for an edgier and more rock sound for “Sex With My Ex”. I’m kinda digging the song even though I don’t agree with his statement, “What was mine is always mine” lol. I think some will like the song, some will feel like it’s overkill.

On “Angel”, Ne-Yo borrows the 80s New Wave sound for the production. That’s not necessarily an insult though…Ne-Yo sounds pretty good and the lyrics are pretty sweet.

“Make It Work” is a great song in which Ne-Yo sings about working to make his relationship stronger. He takes a very mature approach to relationships which I can really respect and appreciate. I’m sure this song will make a lot of people feel better about the problems they may be going through in their relationships. This song is also a strong vocal performance from Ne-Yo. This is definitely a winner and certainly a potential single/hit.

Ne-Yo gets a little freaky on “Say It” as he asks his lover to tell him exactly how she wants it from him. Both the production and the vocals are sensual; and Ne-Yo manages to be racy without being corny. I like it.

Ne-Yo closes out the album with “Go On Girl” which instantly reminds me of “Irreplaceable”. On the song he sings about how a shady chick broke his heart even though he was being a good guy. He tells her to “go on girl”. See the thing about making a male version of “Irreplaceable” is that girls can shamelessly sing that song, but I don’t think guys could sing this song without looking super corny. If he had a different beat and maybe didn’t say “Go On Girl” he would be able to catch a pass. lol. This was a poor choice to close out the album with.

On the whole, I would have to rate the album as just okay. It’s not bad, but it’s really not stellar either. Even though I am admittedly not a huge fan of Ne-Yo (not that I’m a hater either), I was hoping this album would convert me into one…and it just didn’t deliver the goods. His songwriting is good, but he just couldn’t make up his mind about what kind of sound he was going for. I’m all for versatility, but I don’t think he was being innovative by going for established sounds like those of MJ and Prince. If he would’ve done more to carve his own niche for himself and really define his sound, this album could’ve been much better. When he does create his own sound, he really does shine. Overall, this cd is still much better than a lot of cds out there, but if it sells will be off the strength of his singles. I’m not going to recommend that you go out there and buy this cd, but I won’t say skip it either. Ne-Yo’s album is in stores May 1st.

Jessica Sierra- Old “Idol” Up to New Tricks

Apparently Jessica Sierra, top 10 finalist from 2005’s “American Idol” was arrested on battery charges yesterday after she went upside some cat’s head with a glass bottle at a cafe. To add fuel to the fire, she was also found with some china white on her person. She was released on bail but ole boi got some minor bruises.

While her antics were quite wild, I wonder what was done to drive her to do something that violent. I dunno. From “Idol” to jailhouse…gotta love it!

New Music: Olivia, Swizz Beatz

 

Olivia has a new track called, “Missing You”. This is actually the first song that she has come out with in years, in which she actually comes off as a real singer. I’m sure she sees now how using 50 Cent as a crutch was a mistake. At any rate, as much as I want to dislike her, I gotta admit that this song is actually pretty good. It has a nice beat, good lyrics, surprisingly good lyrics…the total package. If she can reinvent her image and continue to distance herself from G-Unit, she might be able to have a hit with this song. I don’t know how likely that is though, since she’s basically been the G-Unit lackey for several years now.

Swizz Beatz has another banger called, “Money In The Bank”. Swizz is best at producing hot tracks and his flow is kinda nice too so he complements the vibe well. The chorus on the song is pretty comical with the guy with the helium sounding voice. This song is hot, and I could see this be a big hit in the clubs.

What do you think about the Olivia track? Do you think Olivia is better off without G-Unit? How do you like Money in The Bank? Do you think Swizz Beatz is a decent, good, or wack rapper?

R. Kelly’s Brother Makes Disgusting Allegations about Kells

 

In a classic Cain & Abel type beef, R. Kelly’s brother, Carey Kelly, is making all kinds of tawdry accusations about Kells gets down. In the videotaped interview, he spills the beans on R. Kelly’s alleged relationships with minors (including a 12 year old cousin), talks about the “truth” behind the beef with Jay-Z, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Although I don’t put anything past anybody…I think it’s hella suspect that this guy is speaking out against his brother like this. Whatever happened to loyalty to your family? R. Kelly could be guilty of these accusations and his brother could just be a liar. Whatever the case…check out the interview below and share your thoughts.

Description of the video from the site (Sorry I had to spell/grammar check some of this to make it more intelligible):

Is R-Kelly really a pedophile? His songs like up in closet, are some of the songs where R Kelly hides his past. See Pt 1 and pt 2 of the video to see the truth! Here are some key points that R Kelly’s brother makes: He’s tellin this tell-all R. Kelly story, because it got to his kids. a) He helped write songs for R Kelly, yet his brother is still in the hood…b) R Kelly f%cked with his 12 yr old cousin and tried to mess with his brother’s niece c) R Kelly was jealous of his own brother’s talent d) R Kelly doesn’t give a f%ck about his fans e) R Kelly is a control freak…and he clears up rumors bout the R Kelly sex Tape…f) R Kelly asked his brother to lie for him at court and since he disagreed, R Kelly said he ain’t his brother no more g) R Kelly’s brother’s daughter got jumped on by 15 girls, because of the R Kelly sex tape.

Are these accusations too outlandish to be true? Do you think that R. Kelly’s brother is telling the truth? Even if he is telling the truth, do you think he is wrong for putting his brother on blast?

60 Minutes Profiles “No Snitchin”…Update: Cam’ron Apologizes

I’m sure many of you have heard about ol’ ignorant a$$ Camron’s stint on 60 Minutes about the “No Snitchin” policy that many in Hip Hop glorify…so I just wanted to have a little discussion about it on the site. First, I think it’s absolutely disgraceful that this garbage is being presented as the norm in the black community. Let’s say that black folks really do feel like it’s never okay to cooperate with the police…is that something to really be proud of? When crime runs rampant in the ghetto and the inner cities…isn’t “no snitching” perpetuating the victimization? Isn’t that granting folks the license to commit crime without reprieve? How can folks really sit up there with a straight face and talk about how horrible crime is in the inner city and how hard it makes life and then in the next breath talk about “don’t snitch”? Isn’t that counter-productive?

The whole point I am getting at is that this kind of expose’ couldn’t have come at a worse time for black folks and especially for Hip Hop. People are trying to make the argument that Hip Hop is poetry that merely reflects the ills of society, however, this “no snitchin” bs is spreading this self-destructive message. What people don’t realize is that the joke is on black folks. Why would black folks allow people like Camron, who Anderson Cooper pointed out makes millions and drives insanely expensive cars, to continue to dictate the street code for streets that they are privileged enough to not have to live on? Camron basically said “No Snitchin” is a business move. So he’s selling out his community to make money…and people are lining up to eat that sorry a$$ message up. Click on the video below to watch the 60 Minutes segment and share your thoughts.

When are we going to learn? How do you feel about Camron speaking for the Hip Hop community? How do you feel about 60 Minutes presenting this as the status quo in the black community? How sad was it that the children being interviewed internalized this poison? Why aren’t parents standing up and countering these destructive messages? Do you people honestly believe that the police are the root of the problem in the inner city and ghetto?

UPDATE

Well, well, well…it seems like Cam’ron has come out with his tail between his legs and is apologizing for his ridiculous statements on 60 Minutes. In proof that we can start putting an end to people perpetuating destructive messages in our community  by speaking out, all of the outrage over Cam’ron’s statements have caused him to backtrack on his statements. Here is what he had to say:

“In 2005, I was a victim of a violent crime. I was shot multiple times without provocation by two armed men who attempted to carjack my vehicle. Although I was a crime victim, I didn’t feel like I could cooperate with the police investigation.”

 

Where I come from, once word gets out that you’ve cooperated with the police that only makes you a bigger target of criminal violence,” Cam’ron explained. “That is a dark reality in so many neighborhoods like mine across America. I’m not saying it’s right, but it’s reality. And it’s not unfounded. There’s a harsh reality around violence and criminal justice in our inner cities.”    

 

My experience in no way justifies what I said” on 60 Minutes. “Looking back now, I can see how those comments could be viewed as offensive, especially to those who have suffered their own personal tragedies or to those who put their lives on the line to protect our citizens from crime.     

 

Please understand that I was expressing my own personal frustration at my own personal circumstances. I in no way was intending to be malicious or harmful. I apologize deeply for this error in judgment.”

Personally I think that Cam’ron is completely full of sh!t. He said all that garbage on 60 Minutes, because he thought it would make him look more hard and gain more fans. If he was sorry about his words (rather than the fact that people are turning against him) then he would’ve spoken out right after the interview aired and not almost a week later. The fact is, he was irresponsible in his words and he made Hip Hop and Black people look bad at the worst possible time. However, I will give him credit for at least apologizing and I hope that people will see that “no snitchin” is self-destructive. The test is really how he conducts himself from this point forward…although I have no faith that he will change his tune in his music or in other less visible appearances.

What do you think about Cam’ron’s apology? Was he driven by trying to alleviate the outrage or do you think he really knew he was wrong for making those statements? Is it too little too late?

Music From: T.I., Sean Kingston, Chingy/Lil Wayne

 

A new snippet (?) of a song from T.I.’s new album called “No Sweat” has leaked today. The song is hot, and it sounds like T.I. is focusing more on just straight Hip Hop and veering away from some of the Hip Hop/R&B collabs he has been on lately. I’m sure Hip Hop heads will be happy about that…but when are the ladies gonna get something to groove to? lol.

Click here to listen to T.I.- No Sweat

 
I just heard this hilarious song on the radio called “Beautiful Girls” by a new artist named Sean Kingston and I had to put it on the site. This song had me rolling! Sean has a great and unique voice, so I think he will really make a huge splash on the radio if this song catches on. I love the “doo-wop” beat and feel of the song and it’s so interesting to see a guy go this route. To top it all off, he’s only 16 years old! I’m looking forward to hearing more from this young guy. For more info on Sean click here to go to his myspace.

Chingy and Lil Wayne collaborate on the club banger “Make That Money”. Chingy is still a wack lyricist, but he has an infectious flow. Lil Wayne far outshines Chingy on the song…but the collabo is still hot!

Click here to listen to “Make That Money”

What do you think about these new songs? Do you feel like T.I. is coming hard for his new album? How do you like Sean Kingston? Do Beautiful Girls really make folks suicidal? lol. Are you feeling the Chingy/Lil Wayne combo?

Joe “Ain’t Nothing Like Me” (CD Review)

Well, here it is. Official review of Joe’s latest effort entitled, “Ain’t Nothing Like Me.” Mr. Joe Lewis Thomas drops his 6th album. Out of 6, I have 5 albums. Needless to say, it should be apparent that I am very familiar with Joe as an artist as I have followed him since his classic 1997 “All That I Am” album. Since 1997, I have been waiting for Joe to show me something that was original, unique, progressive, and uncharacteristic among R&B dudes in the game. While he had some highlights with albums like “My Name is Joe” and “Better Days” Joe hasn’t been able to place him stamp among the best in the game. It’s rather frustrating because this is an artist whose vocal talent is better than many that’s out. His range, the smooth passion in his voice (no homo), and the ballads are what defines Joe. Unfortunately, the latter has been trumped by Joe’s unwavering demands to try to follow the trend in music and not be his own man! With R. Kelly in the mix, it’s already hard to eat! It is frustrating but Joe is one of those artists that you either Love or Hate. I got love for the dude, just don’t know if his career will ever jump off! With that somewhat morose intro (lol) I will get into the review:

1. “Aint Nothin Like Me”- Tim & Bob production- Joe begins the 1st track of a cd that we’ve been waiting for for over 3 and half years with a beat that Nas used already (a la “You’re The Man). This bothered me. I thought Joe was gonna reinvent himself and come with some crazy production but he ridesa beat that’s over 3 years old. Not really a good look, in my opinion. Anyway, Nas drops 2 verses that are forgettable. If i played this in the whip, i’d probably listen to it a few times only because Joe does have a nice voice. As far as the positives, it’s a sexy track. Not necessarily the best club track but one of those filler jawns that you’d play when you have a house party and what to rub up on a shawty. lol. Nas line where he says “telekenesees” annoys the hell outta me. 3/5

2. “If I Was Your Man”- Stargate Production- This single came out a long ass time ago. Typical breakup to makeup track where Joe is apologizing for the wrongs he’s done and why cant he be her man when he’d give up the world for her. yada yada…No more lies, he’ll do it right this time. Very real situation for many dudes. But nothing original. Beat’s very smooth though. Real grown up feel. My kinda swag! 3/5

3. “I Want Her”- Sean Garrett production- Joe’s on his creep game on this track where he’s telling this female what he can do that her dude can’t provide. A lot ego on the track. ha! All dudes have felt that they could do betta than the next dude especially if they feelin a girl. Joe’s talking about how he gon beat it up right! “If I want you, what is he gonna do…nothin” ha! I like this track cause Joe’s just spittin da real and going for his! Beat’s coo! Around 3:10 of the track, you can feel Joe’s energy and how much he really wants the girl. lol. 3.8/5

4. “Where You At” ft. Papoose- Sean Garrett production- When I first heard this track many months ago, I didn’t like it. Some things dont change. While Pap spit some real talk about how to treat a woman, I just dont like hearing Papoose. He doesnt do it for me as a rapper and I don’t know who made the decision to put him on this track. Somebody’s A&R aint do they job! lol… You know what i dont like about it, the whole, “baaaaby where you aaaaat”….It’s like he’s wining! it’s annoying…and its a wack hook after a while. 2.5/5

5. “My Love”- Bryan Michael Cox production- Okay, so Joe helped me out by giving me a dose of that 90s R&B feel…that jodeci type swag…yeah, this is the energy and soul that Joe was doing back in “All That I Am.” Joe says, “baby would you take my love, its yours. Baby i can read your mind“This track is very beautiful, great production and really shows Joe’s strengths and proves that he is an R&B dude and should stay in that zone instead of tryna thugga thug it out like R. Kelly. Nice lyrics and very sensual! Fellas, go hard wit ya ladies to this track! haha…. 4/5

6. “Go Hard”- Bryan Michael Cox production- This is my favourite track on the album. The first I heard it many months back, I couldn’t wait to hear Joe’s upcoming album. I like the production a lot and I like Joe’s energy and swag on the track.”She looks like a handful, I wanna get a handful.” Joe talks about this gyrl that’s the flyest thing that he’s ever seen and every dude wants her. She’s such a superstar and a dime that Joe talks about leaving his girl for her. Damn! So he’s going hard for ole girl.. 4/5

7. “Ain’t Nothing Like Me” ft. Tony Yayo & Young Buck- Underdogs production- 1st off, f*ck Yayo. Whoever made the decision to put him on this track…any track, should be put in a figure four. Buck is irrelevant on the track. I understand this track is all about boasting about what Joe has versus otha dudes but he coulda proved his points without lackluster showings from Yayo and Buck. Moving on…Joe spits, “I know you got a man, but he aint nothing like me. He might put it down, but he dont put it like me. My hood game, my wood game, my paaaapah maayne” that’s my line right there. lol. I woulda given this track a 4/5 but because of the wack cameos, i gotta give it a 3.7/5

8. “It’s Me”- Stargate productio- Another track where Joe is apologizing for cheating and saying “its not you, it’s me”..nice, sweet teeny-bopper track…Joe says, “if it’s hell i gotta pay, then i’ll go thru the fire” to keep his girl from leaving. Nothing original but okay on the ears.eh!!! expect more from Joe at this point in his career. Production was okay… 3.75/5

9. “Let’s Just Do It” ft. Fabolous- Cool & Dre production- First off, Pharrell had to have slipped Cool & Dre a beat cd on the low cause I soooo do not believe Cool & Dre did this.lol. On the production tip, someone shoulda told Cool & Dre to pick another beat. Anyway, this is a nice two-step club track that you could dance with ya lover. You could do ya diddy bop and just have a grand time on the dance flo’ I like the feel of the track and Joe shines on it! Fab’s flow was too lazy and was too Kan-Jay influenced. expected a lil more from F-A-B-O. 4/5

10. “Feel For You” Very nice ballad. Very nice lyrics and is a slow dance type track. Thank you Joe for delivering something slow and beautiful. “Baby, your love is like a song i like to sing, that’s what I feel for you,” Joe sings. 4.2/5

11. “Just Relax”- Dre of Cool & Dre production- Well, this track either jacks or pays homage to A Tribe Called Quest (a la Electric Relaxation). This whole “this is…this is…” crap from Dre is annoyin…Umm, this track’s okay only because it has that vintage old school hip-hop feel to it! But it just seemed like an unnecessary sample. Eh, probably only get one or two listens from me. 3.8/5

12. “Love is Just a Game“- Joe speaks about the ups and downs in his relationship and what his girl is putting him through after how good he’s been to her. He feels she’s playing games with his heart and he doesnt want to feel like he’s on a roller coaster ride. Interesting production…For all the tracks where Joe is apologizing or wining, this time, it’s the girl’s fault that things are going awry. Nice twist! I’m sure dudes can relate to when they ladies just wildin! lol. 4/5

13. “You Should Know Me”- Ooooh, this track is a banga. “Girl, I will never let you down, you should know me,” Joe sings to his girl that is hearing all this stuff from people and she’s questioning his love and faithfulness. Joe is telling her that instead of listening to folk, that she should know him and that he “would never let [her] down.” This is a very nice track and Joe’s raw vocals shines on this track. This has a very early 90s feel to it and Joe capitalizes on it! I think the topic is very important cause too many women put they men through some crazy ish just to figure out if he’s true to her or not. I can understand wanting to know if he’s true but if his actions are showing it, you gotta let him live and dont play crazy games or listen to people who dont know whats good! 4.5/5

14. “Life of the Party”- Very nice song. Joe speaks about how hurt he is about a failed relationship but hides his pain. To the world he may be the life of the party but they dont know that he tries to drink his pain away. He reminisces about all the great times he had with his ex and can’t get her off his mind. However, he pretends to the world that he’s okay even though not having her around is killing him inside. This is a very mature and real track. Many men do this and don’t admit that they’re hurting when a relationship goes off track. Joe gets real emotional on this and says the world only knows him for what they see on t.v and they dont know the real Joe. 4.2/5

Bonus Track: “What I Like”- Tim & Bob production- Beat’s cool. As always Joe’s talking about a woman, doing the do and giving it to her the way she likes. yada yada. typical Joe stuff. Production has a nice lean to me.. 3.8/5

All in all, i give “Ain’t Nothing Like Me” a 3.78/5. I’m definitely disappointed. There are some highlights but nothing consistent and original from my boy Joe. For someone who’s been in the game for over a decade, I would hope there would be some growth from record to record but Joe’s just caught in a whirlwind still tryna figure his spot in mainstream R&B. Not a bad album…just not a great album! Well, back to “All That I Am”

*absolutely tired…..2:08am….tried to get this done so ya’ll had the review. lol. HM’s dedicated folks but I gotta wake up for work in 5 hours. Hope you enjoy the review. YA BOI!!!!*

Gutta Tracks: Rick Ross- “Career Criminal”; The LOX- “We’re Back”; Evidence- Let Yourself Go (rmx)

Rrrrrawse- “Career Criminal” (listen)

A lot of people say Rawse is wack but honestly, he’s probably the only dude under the Mason Dixon that i will listen to. lol. I actually bought Port of Miami and I dont feel like it was a bad cop. I will admit that Rrrrawse needs to upgrade his topic game cause talking bout traffickin and coke and criminalizing is very tired. I think what I like about Rrrrrawse is the fact that he has very good production behind him, he doesnt have a team that he’s ridin, and his swagga is crazy…i like the slow flow he has on tracks and I can understand what he’s sayin. lol. On his 1st cd he was like, “i’m bad, im strapped” like 3 times in a row but each time he said it with a lil more energy and the beat meshed perfectly. Anyway, so “Career Criminal” finds Rrrrawse talkin bout what he knows best but he does add some imagery and a lil bit of lyricism. He has that Pac edge on this track! I’m feelin da beat……RRRRRRRAWSE. “I’m into trafficking, i mean travellin” lol…nice line. But it’s lines like that that have cats locked up!

The Lox- “We’re Back” (listen)

Sheek Louch- Sheek’s potency has improved over the years. He dropped a decent 16!! “I’m in the trash can like i’m Oscar” hehe…

Jadakiss- Absolutely ridiculous verse. “I mean to offend you. If you dropped a cd in the last 10 years, then my DNA is in you” craaaazy!

Da Ghost- Decent verse from Styles P. His flow was smooth and gritty as always… Nice way to end the track.

Nice job LOX!

Evidence ft. Phonte- Let Yourself Go (rmx) (listen)

Track produced by Alchemist. I need to do some more research on Evidence. He had a nice verse on this. Phontigga killed the track. Lyrics, flow, presence was just immaculate!  Phonte- “If you aint got a plan, then you are not a man” Phonte’s flo, however, had a characteristic Andre 3000 feel to it. What do you think?

~Thesis

New Political Tracks: Crooked I- “Tuck Ya Ice” Freestyle; Jin- “Open Letter to Obama”; Lil-Flip- “Time After Time”

Crooked I- “Tuck Ya Ice” Freestyle (listen)

All I gotta say is that the verse on the 2nd beat was insane! He really put a lot of things into perspective with respect to the media’s view on Hip-Hop lyrics, Imus, Oprah, Virginia Tech shootings, et. al. The track was mean!!!

Jin- “Open Letter to Obama” (listen)

Let’s get the negative out the way 1st. The second dude should not have rode the track at all. Nice message and all but his flow was wack. Now on to the positive…Jin’s a problem! Always been and he’s always represented Hip-Hop in his lyrics and messages. “If skill sold truth be told,” Jin would be owning corporations. Jin is speaking what we all should be doing… “Take it to the polls” He’s speaking on high gas prices, Darfur scandal, welfare, poverty, racial profiling, etc…. This track is so old school with new school feelin….Good shyt Jin “Don’t gotta be off limits, as long as it’s authentic” Crazy line!!! Many may hate this track but if you feel real music, you’ll love it (minus the 2nd dude rappin. lol)

Lil Flip- “Time After Time”- Virginia Tech Tribute (listen)

Not bad! Flip had some nice points about not coming back from death and being blessed that he’s still alive even though he’s been shot. He mentions that people should have realized the shooter had issues from his screen play and not after it was all said and done! I can’t hate on the track….But i also dont think i’ll be giving it a second listen!

The comments I read said he was wack…so you’ll have to be the judge. View at your own risk people…and this is obviously not work safe folks!
