Fabulous's side of the story with Ray J

I think he is more real and truthful but not as funny as Ray J.

Ray J and Fabulous down in Vegas Town! LISTEN!

Check out the Ray J's phone call  because it's so funny! Ray J's talking about the so called fight to a radio station. 

Too much, too much! Ray J comes over very silly and full of bravado.

What is going on with these two dudes. First Fabolous calling him lil Brandy and lil Red Riding hood. Then there is Ray J mouthing off in a very high squeaky girly voice about the money team.

Ray J is an upper class American boy whose parents were both professionals even before Brandy got into the music business. Sonia Norwood had a dream that both children will be financially secure and she managed their carreers till a certain point. Ray J was always under the shadow of squeaky clean Brandy. At the worst he is a very spolt kid who is hasn't found his way but still likes to hang like a gangsta. He is a bad boy but only in the way other spoilt Hollywood types are for example Charlie Sheen and Sean Penn - only without discovering what he is really talented at to be successful. I mean Ray J is still living off the Kim Kardashian skin flick and knocking boots with Whitney Houston.

So no mattter his swagger or how many punches he throws he is still Sonia's baby boy and Brandy little brother till he finds something he can succeed in, in his own right.  If ever there was a real fight my money would be on the real man not some wananbe sliver spooned ass of a boy who thinks because he hangs out with some rap celebs that rap gangster that he is one by proxy.

Ray J people know you because of yoru sister Brandy Norwood, Kim Kardashian and Whitney Houston. Fabulous we know because of his talen. Enough sai. Worth listening because it's really funny!

How Hip Hop Changed the World - Idris Elba

 This programme is so irritating that the  once cool Idris Elba is looking like an unwashed corner MF. Sorry, this ain't personal but I can't be watching the sanctimonious rubbish regarding hiphop! Its chart count down of important moments of hip hop. And guess who gets number one? Chris Martin's BFF and soon to be a daddy.

Yes I'm a hip hop fan. Anyway Idris Elba is presenting this rubbish with a lot of Smart Alec comments and a self righteous moralistic hip hop tone of the purist. On top of it he has Westwood. Don't get me wrong I love me some Timothy Westwood and I know the dude had earned strips. But it's so cliche. Then there is Westie talking all street but then again he is Britain Granddaddy of Hip Hop. Anyway Westie is excellent at the game which is why the dude is still TOP DOG in the game over in the UK - I love the way he says 'Your boy, Westwood." Errr... I don't think so - a bit too old for that sort of chat ain't we?. He's being DJing from back in the day. Nothing like trance or house for our main man Westie. Not gotta be straight up hip hop.

Any Elba is just majorly irritating but he is esciplised by the stupid comment of Noel  Clarke (famed director of Kidulthoond - I think needs a bit of a history lession before opening his mouth and not 'media studies' that doesn't count. Love his movie though!). Saying the Boys in Hood was the first kind of that movie. There has always been a black cinema in the States - I can't even start to defend stupidness so I'm not going to start now.

Anyway it's an entertaining programme but will wind up any one who know a bit about the real history of hip hop. As I said it's sanctimonious toilet flush waste but on the lighter side it's good entertainment and as always one always learn something new.

Beyonce 4 - reveiw

Okay, I'm finally listening to Beyonce new album and to be fair it's good but if this is the result of a meltdown of the alleged 72 recorded tracks then there isn't much to say.

As a package she is the business but vocally she is still straining in some places but hey that's for the vocalists to sort out.

 What I can't really understand is that there is no theme to it. It's a collection of songs which she must have just liked.  There are a few songs which are pretty good. Love on Top but there is nothing really new. It's not like her other stuff which I really enjoyed. She covers everthing. Is like a mismass of subjects.  I think it's a Beyonce album. It's goes from helpless female wanting to die over love to power woman. So you get everything.

 I'm not really sure where she is influenced by Afrobeats or Fela but then again I'm was a fan of his music.  All I do know in my cynical mind is that Jay-Z and the Smiths (Will and Jada Pinkett) are producers for the muscial Fela! So that might be a subminal plug. Hey it's a media game we all play.

Overall great album and good songs. Great arrangements and innovation in some instances. Slightly old school but nothing new unless you are looking technically in terms of arrangement and bringing in new influences. Bu if you are a hard-core musico you'd have heard it all before. 

Tracks

1. '1+1': This song is very good but one things spoils out and I'm sure the production team must have debated it as well. It's supposed to be a serious love song but comes over a a joke because.....
Okay this song makes me laugh when she belts the you in the uppper register. It's so weird so I can't take it seriously. To me it needs to be a flawless transition otherwise it just seem weird and funny. Then the whole 'make love to me' phrase makes me laugh. It's not a song I can take seriously but I find it. Register transitions need to be flawless - not sure why this was put out. Leona Lewis can switch registers flawless and properly could have done it.  It's a good song but switching registers - or singing a high 'you' makes it see like a comedy song.


2. 'I Care': Great vocal and nice beat.
3. 'I Miss You': Okay - soppy for those who need a date with glass of red wine and the photoalbum or maybe facebook pictures going over the past. Oh yeah, it's about L.O.V.E
 
4. 'Best Thing I Never Had': I love this song but it's also emotional. Vocally not sure about it but then Beyonce is a complete package deal. More an entertainer than a vocalist.To be fair it's a difficult song to sing in terms of power but then it could have been rearranged differently. However it showcases Beyonce's technque and physical ability as a singer so great!

5. 'Party (Featuring Andre 3000)' This sounds like a Riahanna track. Sorry people but it sounds too similar in a way of feel to Rihanna's song Cheers or even her genre


6. 'Rather Die Young' James Dean???? WTF??? Okay, Iit appears was probably a rock song that has being rearranged to a R&B swing beat. I think the tempo and beat is all wrong. It's probably supposed to a powerful rock ballad - something I'd like to see rearranged and sung by Pink. This is song is begging to be let out of the cage and be freed as rock and roll.

7. 'Start Over': Great stuff.
8. 'Love On Top': Great stuff.
9. 'Countdown'

10. 'End of Time': This will probably be the one with the sax and heavy drum beats.  The arrangements are slightly, very slightly flavoured with the late Fela. Not sure of vocals - I think it's a good catchy club song and something for the young ones with the repetitive vocals.

11. 'I Was Here' An ballad, same old 'me me me' BS vocals singers bring out. Manipulative melody and arrange to arouse emotions - a job well done. When you fell depressed play this with a glass of wine and a tub of ice cream. Or great for a death match or funeral.

12. 'Run The World (Girls): Very clever arrangement. In fact, brillant. Not my favourite but I can appreciate the fact the music arrangements fills in the missing words. I just think this is really for the clubs and remixes. Also it's Beyonce's comfort zone because it's very Destiny Child.

I'm having a great day







I'm excited to be starting this programme. I have a few goals I'd like to achieve but the coach is right. Start the day by swinging out of bed like when I was a kid.

starting point.

Well I'm just starting I need to get on and I think this site will help.
Now I just sit up in bed, overthink and end up draining my thought process. So tomorrow I'm going to start. I've written it down and going to post it by my bed so I just do it.

So I guess I'm happy to have completed day one and looking forward to implementing it.





The case of $95 million, Mel Tucker, Willy Bo-bo and inappropriate sexual conducts on the telephone.

Mel, Mel, Mel. It's tough. Mr Tucker. I discussed this case with someone and it's shame. It's a shame that it came to that. List...
