As my good blogging brother eskay would say “Shots fired. Man down. I repeat, shots fired. Man down.” My support for Plies momentarily put aside, Jamie brings out the shotty spraying pellets in order to drive home a point and somebody’s left with some ‘splainin to do. Read the rest of this entry »

I saw Jamie Foxx in concert last week and although the performances were considerably less than spectacular, there’s no denying the magic the studio creates for him…I mean magic he creates…aw hell. Just watch the video.

And download the song. Read the rest of this entry »

Somebody please tell Tyler Perry that this was a joke. And pretty please convince Michael Bay that he hasn’t found love interests for Skid and Mudflap.

Now that those bases are covered, sit back and laugh at Read the rest of this entry »

Words By Prop Jay

This is the non-steroid, long-haired, crazy Busta I want back.

Busta’s new joint, Back On My B.S, wasn’t my style. His crazy ass flow, hyped with energy and passion, was all I and many of his fans ever wanted. Now what he unsuccessfully strives for more often is a deep monotone flow in large does that only Busta seems to enjoy. None the less, he still gets a pass and a soundcheck to hear what he has to offer because of his prior accomplishments.

What I found was “Decision,” a certified heatrock produced by Dre and Mr. Porter. Busta brings considerable back up in tow Read the rest of this entry »

I don’t listen to Anthony Hamilton, India Arie, Jill Scott, or Raphael Saadiq. I know they’re great and worthy of the praise they receive. They just lack one critical component that I need to enjoy my singers.

Ignorance.

Now, I’m not talking Soulja Boy ignorance. I mean calculated ignorant lines.

It takes a certain amount of genius to understand that people simply love screaming mildly retarded lines at the top of their lungs in off-keyed mimicry of a song on the radio. T-Pain understands the pure joy we all get from wailing “she gave us drinks to drink, we drunk em’, got drunk.” This understanding is the driving factor behind his popularity. If anyone were to ask me Read the rest of this entry »

Gotty™ says: “I don’t know who caught Jamie’s show on Mon/Tues but Jamie was straight sonnin’ Katt about respecting his elders, esp Steve [Harvey.]”

Call me late to the party, but I didn’t even know Jamie Foxx HAS a radio show. I will say this though — “Foxxhole” is not that fresh of a name. Yeah, Foxxhole, I get it. Very punny. But that name plays the tambourine. Read the rest of this entry »

We’ve talked before about how Soulja Boy is unbeatable on this comedy ish. Maybe the only person I’d be more scared to have talk about me is Jamie Foxx. Yea, he’s stirring up controversy to promote his own album. But I don’t care, this shit is hilarious. Read the rest of this entry »

That boy Christopher Bridges has done quite well for himself since he came back for the first time 8 years ago. Now, with 3 Grammys, 6 albums and 15 million records sold, as well as 12 movies, and numerous businesses under his belt, Mr. Bridges, commonly known as Ludacris, is a different man with different goals and a new challenge to make a different album.

At this stage in his career, he no longer has the luxury of sticking to a formula, and regurgitation, but cannot run the risk of straying to far from his diehard base and newfound audience lest he find his creative initiative scrutinized like Kanye others did….just less successful. So it is that Christopher chose to try something new to him, but not foreign to us, putting a somewhat fresh spin on the age-old, career saving, ‘concept album’ concept. Read the rest of this entry »
