Because His Impact Was That Great
“I think it’s uncharted waters for someone to have that level of success, starting at a very young age. So imagine, this guy at the age of 9 all the way until the age of 50, was a major superstar – his entire life. There was never a time that he could walk down the … Continue reading
Ain’t Got Shit On Me
Watch the Yahoo! Music premiere of LeToya‘s smokin’ new video for her single, “She Ain’t Got…” – Like I said in an earlier post; LeToya is really bringing it this time out!

I’m Sorry Ms. Jackson
Here is the ONLY part of the BET Awards that really mattered earlier tonight. To everyone’s surprise and amazement, Janet Jackson appeared on stage briefly to address the world and give a thank you for all the support in the wake of her brother’s sudden passing. I was nearly in tears thinking of this woman … Continue reading
D.O.A.
Despite the BET Awards being a huge disappointment (how dare they use Michael Jackson‘s name and call it a tribute show to get ratings and then only do about one or two tributes) – one highlight of the night was actually AFTER the awards when Jay-Z‘s new music video for “DOA (Death of Auto-Tune)”. Thanks … Continue reading
Ay Yo!
Get into this footage of Melanie Fiona live in the studio with Questlove, and his band The Illadelphonics, recording a song titled “Ay Yo”. I’m loving her vocals and the funky yet chill vibe of the song. Anyone else sort of anticipating her debut album, ‘The Bridge‘, in stores later this summer?
Human Nature

The DJ begins playing the Jackson version and the entire crowd, including Thicke on the mic, sing along. I still can NOT believe Michael Jackson is not here … Continue reading
