Mr. Right...

Remember I told yall recently that Mr. DeVaughn has a new album coming out 2nd quarter called "Love & War Masterpiece?" Well looks like YOU can call me "Mr. Right."

New JD: Living The Life

hmmmm, wonder why he didn't mention the Def Jam situation. Is he really still "living the life" after being fired? It probably didn't set him back too much, but i'm sure we'll hear him speak on it soon. Keep it Riiiight THERE!

My "Not Easily Broken" Review

Saw the advanced screening of this last night...
For me, it started off slow and I began to get the feeling I had when I saw Tyler Perry's "Meet The Browns." The beginning felt like I was watching a play instead of a movie, but as the movie went on it got better.
Kevin Hart is hilarious in his role, but through the bulk of the film, he was absent. Would've been nice to see him in it a bit more. Maybe this will open up more role's for the man most people know from just doing "Soul Plane" :/
Good movie on how women can drive a GOOD man away. LOL. Finally one that doesn't intend to bash men!
Overall I'd give it a 3.5 out of 5. It's worth checking out...

Could've been yooouuuuuuuu...

Off Detox! It's commmiiiiinnnnngggg. This is gonna be my joint. I can already see it. Told yall AFTERMATH is takin over! 50, Kellz & DRE?! No DJ version coming sooooon. Could've been yooouuuu...Ahhhh I love it!

Baaad Girl

Polow on the beat. He did his thing too. Chris Breezy need to stick to singing though. I thought this might be off the "Good Girl Gone Bad: The Remixes" dropping January 27th...my birthday ;) ...but I don't think so. This needs be on somebody's album though....excluding chris's verse of course...
Keep it RiiiGHT There!

Roc The Mic...

Hmm I'm torn on this one...I like the track and sample but not the lyrics. I feel like ranting about bow wow, but I think I'll save it for another time...

I'll Betcha...

G, said he was droppin his first single in January. I'm guessing this is it. My brother from another mother, cuz I used to get compared to this dude when I was college. LOL. But not joking.
I hope he can make a big comeback. Really feelin this one too. AND he got back with Timbaland for the album?! He'll be finnnne.
EDIT: Ginuwine's new album "The New Beginning" will be out in April...
(Click post title for song)

Radio Raheem...

So I got to check out Raheem DeVaughn performing at a club Friday Night. Good performance as usual from "Radio Raheem," which is what he wants everyone to call him now (Isn't that already taken??). It was my 3rd time seeing him perform live, so wasn't much new for me to take away from this time. However, he did give some out some interesting info that I'll pass along to you...
New album is coming sometime between the end of the 1st quarter (March) or the 2nd quarter (april or May). The title of the album is tentatively titled "Love & War Masterpiece Project" and will feature colabo's with Ludacris & Damien Marley among others...
Remember where you heard it first and Keep it RIGHT THERE!
Oh and here's my short video from the show...

Nevvver Evver

Sooo this is Ci Ci's attempt to redeem herself with her female fans who weren't really feeling "Go Girl" with T-Pain. I think it'll work. Not a huge fan of this one, but I think the ladies will. "Never Ever" Produced by Polow Da Don, Featuring Young Jeezy. Keep it riiiiight there!
EDIT: Listened to it a couple more times, and I'm diggin it. Think this will be big on the radio...
(Click post title for song)

Freeeezzzeee

Ah Yes, the first post of the new year. What better way to start off than the new video from MY top album of 2008. Yea, it's T-Pain, don't act like it won't hot. This generation's "R.Kelly." Yep, I said that too. This dude only makes hits. Everybody else must step up the creativity in 09....
Of course Pain stays with the themes of the other videos of this album, not a big fan of these videos but I'll let him pass this time...KEEP IT RIIIIGHT THERE!

2008 Rap Upppppp!

It's that time of year again. Honestly, this might be my favorite rap up.
"A raison in the sun? I heard that, and thought Flava Flav got a show outside" LOL
"...Bush almost got aSHOEsanated!"

Hope everyone has a GREAT new year! Big things in 09 for EVERYONE! And be safe 2night...

Jamie Foxx on Sesame Street

This is HILARIOUS to me for some reason. We all know Jamie foxx will always bring the comedy no matter what setting he's in. But I'm trying to figure out the correlation of album promotion and sesame street?

Dear John Witherspoon: How did you talk to Girls?

I love these clips. John Witherspoon will forever be the man. Keep it Riiiiiight There!

Diddy Blog #36-Let It Go..

I gotta agree with Diddy on this one. I'm at fault as well. I've tried to respect the fact that everyone doesn't celebrate Christmas, but forget that, MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone from WhatsThatRightThere!

Beyonce's Diva & Halo Videos...

Not liking this one at all. Wuz up with the "shingle" shades?? And shouldn't the car blowing up be a climatic part of the video? Didn't flow for me at all.


Now Halo looks a lot better. The ladies of course will love the Michael Ealy appearance...

TubeSteak vs. David Banner Part 2...

HILARIOUS! Gotta give back 2 the community. But NOT like this!

Here's a gem off the Japanese version of "I Am...Sasha Fierce." Hmm I think this should've been a bonus on the good ol U S of A as well. Sounds good...

Wow! This looks like it should be really good. I love me some thrillers. And it looks like Bey might have to kill a chick............Movie opens in theatres this April...

What Can I Say?

Apparently this was recorded in 2004 for the Damita Jo album but didn't make the final cut. I'm gonna take a wild guess and say this is produced By Rich Harrison. Sounds right up his alley. *pause* . Hot record.... and u know what to do....keep it riiiight there!

The Runners...

Dru Brett, one half of The production team The Runners, was on WPRK 91.5 in Orlando, Florida tonight. He talked about what they have coming up. Rick Ross has a new album coming first quarter of 09' which he says will be a classic and that they're heavily involved with it. Also they'll be working with Chris Brown on his new album tentatively titled "Graffiti" on a song he calls a "Certified BANGER." They're favorite song they've done so far is "Hustlin" by Rick Ross. Expect more FIRE coming from The Runners and keep it Riiiiiiight there where you go it!

TubeSteak airs out David Banner...

These video's are HILARIOUS. Aaron McGruder, creator of the Boondocks, has started a youtube channel with hilarious videos to keep you laughing until the new season of the Boondocks begins. Keep it Riiiight There!

Madea Goes To Jail (Movie Trailer)

This looks like it'll be good. I really liked his last one "The Family That Prey's." Tyler stars in this one, with Derek Luke and what do we have here....Lil Rudy from the Cosby Show, Keisha Knight Pulliam playing a prostitute and former drug addict. Should be verrrry interesting. Coming to a theatre near you very soon!

Can u solve it?

I did it in abouuuut a minute and a half. Video is pretty good and worth solving the puzzle for....How long did it take you?

Freakin You Out...

Ok Busta, let's hear more joints like this! And when is Missy coming with a new album???? I hear verrrrrry soon. Oh and Ne-Yo sounds pretty cool on the hook.

Get ready! Brian McKnight will be releasing a new studio album titled "Live from Fifteen" in FEBRUARY! His voice is amazing and I'm sure the album will be craaaaazy! Keep it riiight there for more....

Ciara News!

Ok, so we know that her album's been pushed back to Spring 2009. Her first single "Go Girl" with T-Pain didn't really take off like Jive hoped, so it was back to the drawing board.
Apparently Ciara and the label have agreed on another "first" single and as of now, it will be "Never, Never" Co-written and Produced By Polow Da Don. The song will be released in early January with a video following shortly after that. Remember where you heard it first and keep it Riiight there!

Concert Review 12/13: John Legend & Raphael Saadiq @ The Durham Performing Arts Center, Durham, NC...

So first off, early in the day yesterday I was able to participate in a Food Drive with Raphael Saadiq at a Wal-Mart in Raleigh. He was real cool, and seemed very humble and interested in helping out. ALWAYS remember to give back people! Especially during this rough economic time, it's more important than ever that we do our part to help others....
Now for the show, Raphael did his thing. Performed a lot of joints off the new album and off course one of my favorites from Tony Toni Tone, "Anniversary." He has good stage presence, not amazing, but good. His voice was great, no problems there. His band was good, overall very good set by Mr. Saadiq.
Now for Mr. Legend. I was really interested in seeing John perform as I've never seen him before. And let me just say....WOW! He's amazing. You must check him out if you haven't already. From what I've heard about his shows in the past, he seems to have really evolved from just being a guy that sits at a piano the entire time. Of course he has a few more uptempo songs now and that helps but I thought whoever outlined the details of the show, which I'm sure included John himself, did an outstanding job of mixing the slow and fast paced songs so that you didn't fall asleep from all the slow jams! He surprised me when he did "Computer Love" by Zapp & Roger. He brought a woman on stage and she had a BLAST. I loooove "Green Light" and he had the whole place rockin when he did this.
The venue was sold out and let me tell you, If you're ever in the Raleigh-Durham area of North Carolina, you must check out an event at this Durham Performing Arts Center. It is truly amazing and is by far the best venue I've seen on the East Coast.
I recorded some video and hope to have that up soon. Soo keep it Riiiight there!

Ohhhh Yeaaa, This is the one...

Now, normally I can't mess with Keyshia's music. I feel like she tries to over-sing everything and ends up hitting wrong notes left and right. But I can mess with this track b/c she's not over-singing. PLUS it features the homie NAS. This is a BANGER! "Ohh, yeaaa" check it out and Keep it Riiight There!

It seems like Pretty Ricky's new album "80's Babies" has been put on hold for a while now. I'm telling you, they just aren't the same without Pleasure P. They need each other! But he still has the most talent and probably did the best thing in the long run by leaving the group....

Come on Keyshia...

Keyshia Cole sang the national anthem at the Oscar De La Hoya/Manny Pacquiao fight last night and looked a HOT MESS while doing so. Come on MA, you've got a new album coming out Decemeber 16th?! You can't be lookin like this...
But on a positive note, she didn't completely destroy the anthem like I expected...

My Cadillac Records Review (No Spoilers)

Saw the advanced screening last night. Great movie! If I could sum up the entire movie in two words, it would be: History Lesson.
I learned some things that I definitely didn't know about artists jacking songs and people not getting paid their just due.
But this movie also serves as an example of why all you aspiring artists, songwriters, etc. should know this business inside and out before you jump in it.
Folks in the industry are ruthless and will take advantage of you If you're talented and don't know your stuff.
Beyonce did a great job. Oscar maybe? We'll see. My favorite character was Definitely Columbos Short's character. You'll see why...
Overall, great movie. Go see it, and get informed! Cadillac Records is in theatres TOMORROW!

Digital Girl...

Lovin this record. Kanye spit one of my favorite lines I've heard from him lately. He spit the same thing on a Hot 97 "freestyle" recently but it goes " u know what's a crazy thing, some girls make u wait longer than AC Green." Google him if u don't know the history.

Ladies...Need a Pedicure?

So I was privileged enough to hear the new self-titled Avant album before it drops next Tuesday (12/9). Now first of all you have to understand that I wasn't a big fan of the first single "When It Hurts" or the recently leaked "Attention" featuring Snoop. But after listening to this album, and I JUST Finished listening before I made this post, I'm highly impressed with this album. It's one of those records you can just put in with your lady, or ladies that you can just put in and vibe to and sing along with.
I loved the "Director" album but this is a GREAT follow-up and it's hard for artists to follow-up really good albums now-a-days. Ask Beyonce. Oops did I say that?
Anywhoo, Check out one of my favorite joints, "French Pedicure", and don't forget to cop that new album on Tuesday!
