Minaj the Lil Freak!

I try not to get into too much hip hop gossip, but up and coming rap star Nicki Minaj is taking radio by storm. Her most recent episode is her feature on Ushers Lil Freak. This is a very colorful song where Usher is in search of a female to help him jump off a threesome. Well Minaj's verse accepts the challenge of finding a third party. Great concept, but this also brings up another question.

Is America become to immune to its conscious? This is a song that is being played on mainstream radio. This means that our kids are listening. Is this sending a relaxed statement on homosexuality?

Give it a listen

Blast From the Past: Herbie Hancock "Sunlight"

I just wanted to give you music lovers a blast from the past. I know this on ain't for everybody, but.... Herbie Hancock created a work over 30 years ago in which he experimented with the vocoder (now known as auto tune). It is safe to say that he was having a Kanye West moment. This album was not by far one of his most popular albums. However, he had the freedom as a artist to venture out and expand as a musician. Check it out. May fav is Come Running to Me.

Album Review: The New Amerykah Pt. 2 :Return of The Ankh

Let me preface this review with this statement

Artist should never box themselves in, even if it means losing some fans. As fans, sometimes we desire to relive the initial sensation felt when first discovering artist. Not acknowledging that we must allow our artists to evolve. True artist push the envelope to do more.

With that being said, Erykah Badu’s The New Amerykah (Part Two): Return of the Ankh is a compilation that is the softer side of the militant Part One. She managed to not take her sound too far outside of her natural vintage feel. Personally, I love this project because I am a fan of Badu.

I encourage all soul music fans to buy this CD, even though it excluded what I thought was gonna be the first single Jump Up in the Air. My personal favs are Window Seat (has nothing to do with the video :)), Get Munny, and Fall in Love. Check out Get Munny!
