So, there is alot of music being released today… most of it you probably had no idea was coming out – and that’s what I’m here for. To keep you entertained and informed, and I’ll do my best to give you the REAL on what you need to be listening to and what you should probably walk right on pass in the music store today. With that said… Here’s what’s in stores today!
Listen! Can I tell you that this album is sooooo hot! It really is good. I’m listening to this Fat Joe album right now and I’m very very impressed. Hip Hop is absolutely not dead with this album being released. My only issue is – someone needs to pay me to pick singles for these artists. I always have a complaint about that when I hear the album. Fat Joe, your first single should have been CocaBaby! I have to admit that I wasn’t excited about this album when I heard the first single. But I’m trying to tell you. You want to hear this new album from Joe. If you are a Fat Joe fan – I think you are going to be very pleased. In fact – several times while listening to it, I had to stop and just laugh at how fresh Joe’s flow is this time around. Thanks Fat Joe.
Elephant In The Room in stores now!
I was talking this morning to a home girl of mine about new music out today, and of course I had to bring up Big Snoop Dogg and his 15 years in the hip hop game. Much respect! She said, “Well. What do you think?” I pursed my lips real tight and said, “well… (sigh) ummm. It’s very – ummm… something.” Now, of course I am mindful that Snoop is a legend in the hip hop game, so there’s not much bad I can say about him and get away with it – however – Sexual Erruption as a lead single may be very telling of what the actual album is like. (end of comment) Given a second chance, I probably would walk on by… but you have minds and opinions of your own – so you decide. Ego Trippin’ in stores now!
The melodic and sweet voiced Sarah Slean also is releasing an album today. I only have good things to say about Sarah. She has a dynamic spirit and is a phenomenal song writer. Do go out and buy Sarah Slean’s new album The Baroness in stores now!
You think, if you’re going to have a commercial hit in hip hop, you should drop a single with T-Pain on it. But the true equation to having a hit single is having Lil’Wayne on it (in my opinion). With that said, again I’d like to suggest my services to A&R divisions everywhere. Let me pick the singles from now on. Rick Ross is back with a follow up to his 2006 success Port of Miami. You may remember him because of how often he’s hustlin’… in fact, according to Ross “everyday” he’s hustlin’. Either way – I’m not convinced that he’s able to have as much commercial success as he did the first time around – but we’ll see. There are some good tracks on this album and I think we may hear from Ross for a little bit longer. I for one love the track with Lil’ Wayne on it. Buy the album – then come back and tell me your thoughts! The Trilla in stores now!
Next Week: Keith Sweat and Danity Kane : ) LOL! I can’t wait to review these albums!
