Expanding Your Music Interest
This week’s finalists are mostly new jack swing, but I did venture out of the genre a few times this week. This list flows pretty well from top to bottom so if you are fortunate enough to have all of these tracks, you should create a playlist. In fact, if you don’t have these songs - go download them (legally, of course 
). This list won’t disappoint.
1. Iesha (After Hour Mix) by Another Bad Creation (New Jack Swing)
It’s the miz-ark, chillin’ in the piz-ark
I gotta break, cause my mama said be home by diz-ark
But before I go, I wanna flow for you one time see
So listen to the rhyme ‘G’
The east coast family . . . Boyz II Men, ABC, BBD
Now flip the track ‘G’ . . .
My motha is mad and my brotha is red
It’s mario brothas and it’s time for bed
Last but not least, I wanna say peace
and we outta here . . . from the playground - ya know!
Playground, Another Bad Creation (1991)
Diddy’s back . . . again. This time - Making the Band 4.
In short, the show seems to be most interesting because of the controversy between contestants and the antagonizing of the trainers. I haven’t formed much of a judgment about the contestants yet. I will say, though, I was pretty pissed that they let the Asian dude go. Come on Puff, you backed bums like G-Dep and Black Rob; this Asian dude was singing his ass off! Talk about a unique, marketable product – sheesh!
A mob motivated rappers dream. I have come to assume most, if not all, hardcore rap artists have a shrine to Scarface somewhere in their home. At least a t-shirt. And now, truly a chance of a lifetime.
That’s my reaction to the recent Billboard reported news that rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is in final negotiations to join Robert De Niro and Al Pacino in “Righteous Kill,” a crime thriller that starts shooting in September. The acting veterans play detectives tracking a serial killer, while Jackson would play a drug dealer who helps them with their investigation. Jon Avnet will direct the $60 million project.
NEW YORK — Usher is expecting bigger things than a new album — the superstar announced Wednesday that he and fiancee Tameka Foster are expecting their first child together.
“We are extremely excited at this point in our lives planning our wedding and the joy that comes with expecting our first child together,” the couple said in a statement released to The Associated Press. “We hope people will be happy for us and respect our privacy during this happy period in our lives.”
