February 14, 2011
Perfect for Valentines Day….I like hood chicks too but not too hood though…..Nah trust me man I don’t need Cleo from ‘Set If Off’ son…..I’m good….Dope song though. Novel is an soulfully underrated talent in the game though. I enjoyed some of the stuff he did with Joell Ortiz too. Make sure yall look for his upcoming album ‘Calligraphy’ dropping sometime this year.

Teedra Moses – ‘R U 4 Real’ (Video) + ‘I Adore You’
February 14, 2011
It’s hard to imagine this beautiful & vocally talented woman is the baby momma of ill West Coast emcee Ras Kass. Not only can Razzy be proud of the fact that she’s the mother of his children, but Teedra Moses outshines 99% of singers in the music industry with her talent despite not always getting the proper promotion. Imagine how talented their kids could become? Wow. I still bump Teedra’s 2004 debut album ‘Complex Simplicity’ on the ipod from time to time which to many real music fans is a classic in itself. Rick Ross has now signed her to his new Maybach Music Group label so maybe he can help her get the proper light she deserves. Check out her new website TeedraMoses.net & make sure you peep this song called ‘I Adore You’ that she released to give fans a teaser of the upcoming album….

Classic Clips: Smokey Robinson & The Miracles – ‘You Really Got A Hold On Me’ (Video)
February 13, 2011
Although ‘You Really Got A Hold On Me’ isn’t one of Smokey Robinson & The Miracles most well known singles, it’s a personal favorite of mine. If you happen to be an artist watching these videos you need to study Smokey Robinson & The Miracles’ movements in these clips. Not only are they performing live vocally, but the dance steps are so on point with precision its a wonder how they don’t bump into each other. Pay attention artists. The rest of us will just enjoy it…..Timeless classic. More video after the jump.

Especially with the way he’s been killing his live performances lately. More video after the jump……
Dirty Money – ‘Ass On The Floor’ Remix
February 12, 2011
I really dig this remix from Dirty Money. Unfortunately I think Puff’s rap segment is rather weak but overall I’m really feeling this remix of the song. No disrespect to Puff but I may have to edit his rap segment of the song out for my personal enjoyment. If I decide to do so y’all can check back here for it. Take that! Take That! Take That!

Chris Brown Is ‘Cold Blooded’ When It Comes To Dancing (Video)
February 10, 2011
Very few male R&B artists can kill the dancing game like Chris Brown. Despite his recent troubles the kid is still not to be f*ckd with when it comes to performing. I first met Chris Brown when he was young eager 16 year old kid just getting his start in the game & introducing himself to any DJ who would listen to him. To see how far the Virginia native has come & blown up is truly amazing. Check out the video above as Chris Brown does what he does best over a classic Rick James joint….
