So it's finally here. Everyone has been anticipating this for a minute. I'm really feeling most of the album based on the first listen. I posted links to my favorite tracks. I was really disappointed at the tracks he did with Eminem and Jay Z. Eminem's beat was wak as hell and the whole tryna do that country twang in his voice on his verse was not working for me. As far as Jay's verse, I think he killed it, but I was just disappointed with the song in general. Lemme know your thoughts.

R KELLY FT USHER - SAME GIRL VIDEO
Not really feelin R Kelly's new style of singing since he recorded "Trapped in a Closet." Since then he just sings what is happening even if it sounds ridiculous. If I wanted to hear that type of music I'd go see Rent or some other Broadway play. O well...Anyway...here is the video for the "Same Girl" story.

HUMP DAY LAUGHS: CHRIS ROCK
Hysterical skit about rap music from Chris Rock's HBO Special "Never Scared." Thought this was fitting since I put up the post about 106 & Park. Haha. Enjoy.
IS IT JUST ME???
OK, So I'm watching 106 & Park for the first time in a loooong time (mainly because we all have had the songs weeks before they actually make it to BET), and I was disgusted with the lack of talent on there. Not the hosts, I think Rocsi and Terrence do an "ok" job with that. I'm talking about the videos on there. I don't know what the A&Rs are thinking signing half of these assclowns. Let's take a look at the countdown.
Lil Boosie f/ Foxx & Webbie "Wipe Me Down" - Are we serious with this shit? First of all the video looks like I made it on a PC using FlashPlayer with the cheesey "swipe" transition effect when they "wipe it down." The hook reads "cause I'm on (wipe me down)" which repeats EIGHT times. I don't even know what the hell "wiping you down" entails, but I think I'll pass and I'm sure any female with half a brain would pass on the offer too. Not to mention they jacked some of their ideas like the line "I pull up at the club VIP gas tank on E but all drinks on me." Sounds a little bit like "Got a quarter tank of gas - in my new E class (In my E-Class Benz), but that's alright, cause I'm gon' ride" from the Big Tymers. Come on. Be original.
Yung Berg f/ Junior "Sexy Lady" - Who are these guys and why do they have deals? The concept for the song and the video is completely unoriginal. This guy is awful.
Pretty Ricky f/ Sean Paul "Push It Baby" - OK, these guys need to give it up. They were never hot and they never will be. And Sean Paul needs to stop it too. I'm not gonna lie, when I'm drunk in the bar I dance to his songs, but when listening to them sober they all sound way too similar and are so wack. This video is SO gay with their capes and masks.
Lloyd "Get It Shawty" - Decent song, but come on...Rocsi said it was the 48th time it's been on the countdown. Let's get some new songs on there...O wait, they need to keep it b/c all of the other songs out rite now BLOW.
Fabolous ft NeYo "Make Me Better" - Nothing bad to say...Classic track from a classic album...In stores TODAY. Cop it.
Shop Boyz "Party Like A Rockstar" - "Totally Dude." That's all I have to say. Heard one southern dance song, heard them all. Monotone flows all the way through and all the guys in the group sound the same. Without catchy hooks these type of southern groups would be nothing.
Kelly Rowland ft Eve "Like This" - Besides "Make Me Better" this is the only other good song on the countdown.
Hurricane Chris "A Bay Bay" - I almost don't even wanna comment on this because I'm so frustrated that I just lost 3 minutes of my life. This dude is like a lab experiment to mix bow wow and mystikal gone bad.
50 Cent "Amusement Park" - We already know how I feel about this song. Comparing your penis to an amusement park is ohso clever. Almost as clever as comparing it to a magic stick. I think someone should make a song about that...O wait, 50 already did. He better bring some heat on "Curtis" otherwise he's gonna fall off harder than Eminem did.
DJ Khaled "We Takin Over" - Again, song has been on the countdown for almost 2 full months now. We need some new songs. Not gonna lie, it's a hot song, but I saw DJ Khaled on Rap City the other day and dude is strange.I found out he didn't produce the majority of songs on his mixtape so I don't really know what he does. O well.
T.I. "Big Things Poppin" - After hearing the remix with Fab, Swizz, and Cassidy and seeing how hot it was it kinda took away from the oringal song. The beat sounds like every other Mannie Fresh beat and the verses sound like every other T.I. song.
Where are the clever punchlines and complicated rhyme schemes that got me hooked on rap music...seems like people think a good beat and a catchy hook can make you famous...and the thing that makes me sick is that the labels and networks are reinforcing this idea by putting them on. Other than "Make Me Better" and "Like This" I did not hear even one clever line.

STACK BUNDLES OF DIPSET MURDERED
Jim Jones signee Stack Bundles was reportedly shot and killed in New York earlier this morning (June 11). While details surrounding the emcee's murder have yet to be revealed, it is rumored that the rapper from Queens, New York was killed outside of his house. Bundles made a name for himself in New York's mixtape circuit via collaborations with DJ Clue, Fabolous and Joe Budden. After recently signing to Jim Jones' Byrd Gang Records, Bundles has appeared on Jones' third album, Hustler's P.O.M.E. (Product of My Environment) and The Dipset Xmas album. Bundles' untimely death has overwhelmed his friends and fans who have left their heartfelt condolences on his MySpace page. "R.I.P. my dude. You was going hard, sad to see you got caught up like that," said HOT 16 aka Yung 6. "I always seen the Porsche parked in front of a studio all day, everyday. It made me think I was sleepin on rap. Gone but not forgotten. Much love from the Co-Star Family." "R.I.P Stack. It's a shame, you were at your peak and look what happens. Still listening to all your mixtapes," posted Straight Out Of Brooklyn.
Deepest condolences to Bundles and Far Rock.
