When we look back on 2011, the year will be remembered for the level of change and social activity across the world. And since art often seeks to crystallize what’s going on around us, watch Robin Thicke’s tribute to “The New Generation,” his latest video composed of a variety of footage uploaded to YouTube last year and depicting people around the world fighting for change.

Well, well, well. It appears as if all these R&B artists see their window of opportunity closing with summer coming to a close. The other day I was thinking about what happened to Robin Thicke and came to two conclusions: Read the rest of this entry »

Item number 47 on my bucket list reads “meet Quincy Jones.” At this point in life, I write about music. Quincy, on the other hand, has been living it for the past Lord knows how many years. It’s not about asking for a job or an autograph, unless he’d be willing to supply both. What it would really boil down to is simply talking music with the guy. Read the rest of this entry »

Jayceon’s road to painting The R.E.D. Album hasn’t exactly gone according to plans. But when you’re rich and you have unlimited access to a studio, you make another mixtape with DJ Skee to pass the time. A few famous friends by the name of Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross, Waka Flocka and damn near everybody else get in on the action as well. Read the rest of this entry »

Throughout all the beefs, tattoos, tattoo cover ups, apologies and broken (and mended) relationships, Game has managed to keep his head above water to release three albums and soon a fourth. Well, eventually a fourth. The R.E.D. Album still hasn’t found a sturdy release date Read the rest of this entry »

As legend would have it, Robin Thicke, not Glenn Lewis, recorded this as a demo for the late Michael Jackson in 2001 for his Invincible album. It is still numbing to think next month will mark an entire year since Dr. Conrad Murray attempted to “save” the King of Pop’s life.

Splash got a hold on a batch of tracks which will be making appearances on a few upcoming Tapemasters Inc. mixtapes.  So consider this your inside track on these, so by the time the full/tagless versions surface you’ll have the leg up on what to grab & what to pass on.

Creativity be damned.

Reaffirming the term “nothing is sacred” like a rapist reiterates birth control, Janet Jackson’s ex is telling MTV that he’s covering Quincy Jones’ classic R&B posse cut, “Secret Garden (Sweet Seduction Suite).” Read the rest of this entry »

Although the words “donate,” “Haiti” and “help” are no longer on the tip of every newscaster’s tongue across the planet, the crisis that left the Caribbean country in ruins is still an ongoing ordeal. There’s plenty of charities and movements out there for every able participant to contribute to in some form or fashion, and tonight unveiled the regurgitation of one the most popular ones ever created.

When I initially mentioned this song in October, the future impact of the record was basically a given. It was the perfect song heading into the winter, and while it wasn’t going to threaten to take the top spot on the Billboard charts, Rob certainly had an anthem on his hands.

For my people, I post this for your enjoyment. As for I, I still think the song is buns. Hov and Alan’s son in the studio creating “Meiplé.” Read the rest of this entry »

Robin Thicke called working with Jay-Z for “Meiplé” as “a dream come true.” If it was so important, I wonder why they created a snoozer of a track? Read the rest of this entry »

With the onset of winter in the not-so-distant-future, it only makes sense Robin Thicke would release a song entitled “Sex Therapy.” People hate being “alone” when its cold outside and if this song is any indication, let’s just say Thicke could be shaping up for a rather warm winter (||) with his new, still currently untitled album.
