"You see, I’m a psycho a sicko, I’m crazy!"
R-Les Listening Party
Got this like a week ago, want your honest opinion on this album as a whole and if it's worth getting a physical copy. The last track is a track he produced for The Cool Kids at the beginning of the year that ended up on their Gone Fishing Mixtape that no one really heard. It's not a download FYI.
And with a tip of my hat, I fade into the back...
My Fave Renaissance track
Yeah, some time last year, Q-Tip graced us with his presence in the form of an album.
The renaissance is a throwback to the styles that made him famous and has thought provoking elements, clever hooks and beats you can bob your head to while driving or (if your like me and my friends) riding a bus, making his album memorable to say the least. But(like Mos Def's recent release), just barely.
Anyway, he came out with a couple singles for the album that didn't get much play on TV (I really don't listen to the radio much anymore, so it might have played there) and makes his album an afterthought . So I was suprised to find he had released a video for his song with Norah Jones apparently like a month ago, Canadian media sux that way. Like the title indicates this happens to be my favourite track off that album and I like the graphics in this video, it reminiscent of the ones in 'Reading Rainbow'
SHOUT OUTS TO LEVAR BURTON!!!!And with a tip of my hat, I fade into the back...
Wale and Friends Variety Hour
Anyway we've got tracks featuring what's left of UGK (R.I.P. Pimp C), frsh off a track about getting stoned; John Mayer, trying not to kill herself Rihanna, and everyone's favourite Yung Joc impersonator; Gucci Mane.
Alright I've made my peace with the situation.
And with a tip of my hat, I fade into the back...
This will just blow your mind!
Now for Jay-Z to be considered the best rapper alive, he sure has a lot of haters, and a shitload within his ranks like Julius Caesar. And if you paid attention in history class, you know how that turned out.
This latest 'bashing of the boss' record is from The ROCs very own Beanie Seigel titled "Average Cat". Yeah, that's right Beanie Seigel! pretty sure I heard a bunch of Holy shit gasps 'round the world. We got Beanz harboring some very hurt and intense emotions and feelings towards his boss man and closest friend that will have you questioning the 'Great One's' character.

At a Loss for Words
Now the fact Chris Brown has had this assault case and acted like a Douche about things for the last 9 months makes you wanna hate on this song and video. Granted the song isn't that good in my opinion, but it has that mediocraty that seems to be successful in today's market. But in this media driven market Imagery is everything and this video is doin it.
So pre or post RiRi assault, rate this video however you see fit, just don't call me a wifebeater for liking him.
I CAN TRANSFORM YA FT. LIL' WAYNE & SWIZZ BEATZ
Straight out of Gadsden Alabama, I bring you- YELAWOLF!
I heard about him a year ago on this weird website with this track called- kickin' (you should check it out its GUCCI! haha). You might not know but he was also on that trak by Slim Thug called- I Run...he did the hook and now also has a new track with Julez Santana. I really think its only a matter time for this guy to blow up. Check him ouT! Peace

Shock Therapy
In light of the recent revalarion that the long awaited Shock Value Vol.II drops November 23, I pose this question to you
Do you think this album ail be a success and if so why?
I know I ail hear a bunch of Timbo's the greatest and he smashes on a regular basis. That shot ain't true. He's got plenty of tracks that sounded cool for about a week and enough (thanks to Magoo, let's face it that duo wasn't bankable and very few if amy listen to tracks of that era) tracks that ppl weren't feelin at all. I like Magoo, be seems like a nice guy. but it wasn't good
I for one feel some of the most successful tracks from the last one were some of the ones he actually features on, reminding that this is his track which makes glad to see him remaster tracks like Say Something f/Drake and Morning After Dark f/ SoShy& Nelly Furtado and I really hopes that he does the same with the abandoned track Ghetto Techno that was supposed to be on Jay-Z's Blueprint 3 with a verse or two from Mr.Mosely himslef. But hat's just me.
In a summer run and filled with tracks made by DJs all I know is Timbo better come with something Fierce and not in the fashionista or 'fabulous' sense. Or maybe that could be what it takes comment PLEASE!!!
We got a list of potential tracks courtesy of Wikipedia and my final question is this, who added and or removed.

Trini Things
The first is just a little shout out to a up and coming artist at home. Not really my style of music but I do applaud her for trying and she is improving as you will see the difference from the first video to the second. So as much as I laughed at the first video the second one she definitely either found a new director or her director seriously improved. Either way good job on getting me to actually stop and take it somewhat seriously.

Girl Talk- Bounce That
MY BADD!!!
I think it's because I hear so many new songs at once it's hard to compose a full opinion on them right away so I'm gonna set these tracks I found over the last 3 weeks( or longer in the case of a couple tracks) that I haven't posted yet in playlist formats.
We got tracks from: OneRepublic, Leona Lewis, Lil' Wayne (who I can't lie is killin some of these rock tracks), Wale, N*E*R*D*, Drake, Mr. Hudson, Lykke Li, Damian Marley, The Cool Kids, Ne-Yo, Robin Thicke, Trey Songz and many more.
Now the Trey Songz track I actually tracked down back in late August and thought I had posted it because I was absolutely positive that this was gonna be his next single, and then he came out with the Successful remix. Non the less, Imma hit you up with the remix and plenty more.
Sample them, play them everywhere or nowhere this is me making up for lost time.
Alright I've said my piece, now cut me up if you want, I really ain't scared.

Is Timbaland a Genius?
Made In Jamaica
My vision for my second post was something completely different from what I am posting now, I even did the write up and everything but I just think that this is more inspiring and my second post can become my third.
MADE IN JAMAICA is a film directed by Jerome Laperrousaz, I did not know who he was until I saw this film but from what I’ve read he is a really solid guy. This film attempts to show the everyday struggle of the Jamaican people, through the eyes of our biggest representatives in my opinion our music artist. The film deals with everything from corruption to killing. I first saw this film 3 or 4 years ago at TIFF, which I try to go to every year. As far as I know it never got very good reviews as some individuals (critics) felt it just skimmed the surface of the issues and did not go deep enough into what is truly wrong with Jamaica. I’ve never been one to agree with critics so I watched it for myself and was truly impressed, while it did not show the whole picture it left me wanting to find out more about my home country and what plagues it, and what is better than a film that makes one want to do research.
If you ever have the chance to watch it I truly recommend it, the film has some of the biggest names in the business, talking about politics, why they do what they do and what they feel is the hope for Jamaica. I even got to meet Capleton at the TIFF.
The sad part is other than the premier, I don’t think this video has seen circulation but I could be wrong.
p.s. I’ve spent years looking for a copy of this film never been able to find one, so if you know where I can leave a comment, I could download it but it is not the same.
You can check out the main website @ http://www.madeinjamaicamovie.com/index.html it has not been updated recently i check it periodically.
Performers in order by first appearance in trailer I know I got someone wrong, or I forgot someone. So don’t bite my head off, cause I just might respond.
Bogle (sadly this was his last dance he was gunned down when he stopped at a gas station on his way home), Bounty Killer & Nadine, Bunny Wailer, Bassie (Third World), Gregory Isaacs, Full Band (Third World), Capleton, Toots & the Maytals, Lady Saw, Tanya Stephens, Elephant Man
My next post is a two part post. The first part is the promised dance hall post.

THIS IS IT!!!!
When looking for new music and commentary, we are one of your first stops in general right? Well we don't disappoint today. I would have posted this like 5 hours ago when I got it, but my computer froze and I had a long night so I decided to get some rest. Enough useless commentary, here's the track from Michael Jackson's upcoming release "THIS IS IT" the title track. enjoy.

This track is called "Tik Tok" by the artist Ke$ha and if it had been released video and all during the summer, guaranteed #1. Ke$ha is the female artist featured on Flo Rida "Right Round"
I intended to put this up weeks ago, but just keep forgetting, so forgive me if this post lacks relevance,but I just gotta.
Alright I've said my piece, now cut me up if you want, I really ain't scared.

Something Asian
Hey guys its J-Weezy aka Wonger Bonger aka Wonger Bomber back with something completely different from what has been posted so far. no it's not Penelope Cruz pregnant. I've decided to post a bit of Asian music this time round for you all to listen to. The first 2 songs are Japanese songs from 2 different animes. The first one is actually sung in English and the second one is all Japanese but both of them have very good melodies.
Enjoy!
this one isn't actually a song but it felt relevant...

This is a song I heard while fishing around for another collaborative track by a different artist (Sam Sparro), but we get to that another day.
Anyway This is Raindrops off the new album by Basement Jaxx. This single has been out since the beginning of Summer and since I found this song a day or two ago, I just can't get it out of my head.
Here's the Official Video, it comes off as 'trippy', but that's house music for ya.

So for those of you who don`t know, over at Founders we have an alumn who does it BIIIGG!
His name is Hodari, but being that it`s Canada and white ppl prolly couldn`t understand it, he went by Reuben. This is the dude that invented the Founders style and swag that keep us poppin and has Founders stayin fly to this day.
This highly intelligent young brotha also has an amazing way with words that has you pausing and thinking, wildn` out or just simply nodding your head. This is the first installment of his entitled MR. Eveything... enjoy.
Okay, my boy Hodari Reuben Clarke doin it up FINALLY!!!!!
FOUNDERS IS LEGIT WHAT???
Okay... Three Things that Might Make You Look At Me Funny
ANY-WHOOO... This right here is a tri-fecta of 'Boy Band-ness'. First we got this new and relatively unknown band (but won't be for long thanks to Britney Spears' Circus tour) named, One Call. Granted, they may be a bunch of white pretty boyz from Cali, and seem corny and once you hear there origin story you might wanna gag. But the urban swag is very present., that reminds me of B2K and that T.U.G. sound from back in the day and also of what Colby O'Donis is sorta doin right now.
Honestly, this is a track I've been sitting on and secretly listening to for about a month now and I gotta be honest, I like it more and more each time, it's called "Turn It Up" and I hope you agree wit me on dis one.
http://www.myspace.com/onecall
Now, speaking of B2K, the only successful (and let's face it talented one) Omarion hittin' us wit a new track feat. Gucci Mane that has some down South swag that I'm feeling. This is "Get it In", to me it aint crazyy good, but it`s alright.
And finally, The Backstreet Boys. This might be the only track I like off there new album and I kinda hate myself for it. Anyway here's "Helpless ft. Pitbull"
Alright, I've said my piece. You can cut me up if you want to, I don't really care.
And with the tip of my hat, I fade into the back...
C Breezy is back again
DJ BoNeZ here with a new Chris Brown track, aka C Breezy for those who don't know his nickname. Kinda like lil weezy is lil wayne and so on. Whether u like him or not for what he did to Ri-Ri (also known as Rihanna), he still knows how to make good music, he'll deft'ly have to transform all those haters of out there if he wants his upcoming album to sell. Enjoy maybe this track "can transform ya!"
"Swiss on the Beat, Chris move ya feet and we can transform a good girl to a freak!"haha sik line
Wayyy better than his verses off the blackberry at Hot 97
