New! Naya (Rivera) Featuring Big Sean -"Sorry"

Did Kelly Rowland Admit to Being Jealous of Beyonce on “Dirty Laundry”

 

Dirty Laundry is not that bad of a song. It sort of feel like an R. Kelly song during his Sparkle/Changign Faces of  era. However, it will be the lyrics that will give the  "Dirty Laundry" its push on radio:


“When my sister on stage, killing it like a motherf***er, I was in a rage, feeling it like a motherf***er/Went our separate ways but I was happy she was killin’ it/Bittersweet she was up, I was down. No lie, I feel good for her but what do I do now?/Post-Survivor, she on fire. Who wanna hear my bulls**t.”

Hmmm, I wonder what Dr. Phil would say in this situation?   

Although Kelly Rowland's first album a didn't connect with fans, the album's first single, the TLC-liek "Stole" really wasn't that bad. The problem was today's urban radio station doesn't embrace  embrace alternative/urban vibe from black artsists, (except for maybe Kanye West who gives no urban radio no choice but to play his tracks).



Rowland actually rebounded in a  big way in Europe, when she hooked up with David Guetta  on the song "When Love Takes Over" in 2009 on before Guetta blew up in the U.S.

At that point, it seemed like Kelly Rowland found her niche as a emerging dance queen, sort of Deborah Cox back in the mid 90's.

However,  Rowland dropped the euro-pop sound that would later top the charts the U.S. a few years later went back to R&B and adopted a Hip Hop sex kitten vibe with the song "Motivation" in 2011.

The new sex-i-fied Kelly Rowland was a hit with urban radio, but it's kind of a shame that she has to continue to co-op her style to sell some downloads.

The tragic thing is that Kelly Rowland  might now be locked in a unshakable persona that seemed so far removed from her "Dilemma" days of the past.


What do you think about  Kelly Rowland's new song "Dirty Laundry"?

This cat is bit ticked off!

  “Boy from the hood but got White House clearance. Sorry y’all, I don’t agree with y’all parents. Politicians never did shit for me, except lie to me, distort history. Wanna give me jail time and a fine? Fine, let me commit a real crime. Might buy a kilo for Chief Keef, out of spite, I just might flood these streets…”  (See full lyrics at RapGenius)

Rihanna's " Screensaver" SNL Performance of "Diamonds"

Diamonds


Quite a few people on Twitter last night and Mashable today are saying that Rihanna's performance of "Diamonds" was a like a screensaver come to life... but personally it reminded me of the psychedelic performances of the late 1960's past like Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit".

Lupe Fiasco New Track Samples T.R.OY....Pete Rock Not Too Happy on Twitter

Late this evening Lupe Fiasco dropped a new single,"Around My Way [Freedom Ain't Free]".

The hard hitting single has quickly become a favorite of Lupe fans whom have been waiting for new music since "Lasers".

Unfortunately, one person who is not pleased is producer Pete Rock for whom Lupe sampled Rock's classic track with C.L. Smooth "The Reminisce Over You.

 Here's some of Pete Rock's thoughts from Twitter"

TheRealPeteRock ‏@PeteRock

No disrespect to lupe fiasco and i like him alot but TROY should be left alone. Feel so violated,the beat is next to my heart and was made

This business can be so lame, sometimes I make beats blindfolded with one hand tied behind my back and still these cats can't be original to


Who ever Re-created that didn't do a good job @ all. #nohate

Man I'm a lupe fan and everything but TROY was my homie man. I think about him and Hev every fucking day!!!! Smh

It's so hard for folks to make original music, I possess that, but these dudes are scared of that and this is supposed to be HIP HOP?

Pete Rock's rant went on for a while but then he said:

And y'all need to stop the childish games, I'm a fan of lupe and he is a great artist and a great person.

But dude, you're the one who started with the rant in the first place.

 Its like when you have friend you hates their spouse, but when you say how horrible that person is they say, "hey man you can't say that"....what??? But I feel Pete Rock.

T.R.O.Y is one the greatest hip hop songs of all time, so I can only imagine how he feels when someone jacks it.

What do you think?

 Do you think Pete Rock had a right to gripe?

 How did you like Lupe's new track and finally do you agree with some Twitter folks who say Lupe's track allows younger fans to hear a sample that otherwise they might now have ever heard, just like how Pete Rock used to sample horns back in the day?
