Keyshia Cole-Long Way Down

I can always count on Keyshia cole to deliver soulful love/heartbreak songs. Her vocal arrangements are always so heartfelt that you can't help to relate to whatever she's singing about. Her second single from "Calling All Hearts" is "Long Way Down." I think this is a sweet song and I love the video because her boo is in it..:-p, I'm happy for Keyshia Cole. I can't wait to hear the album!

Kid Cudi-Man on the Moon 2 Legend of Mr. Rager

It's so hard to pick just one or two songs to recommend off the new Kid Cudi album "Man on the Moon 2." This new album is great front to back. It's one of those albums that you can listen to from beginning to end on repeat. So as hard as it was I picked my three favorite songs...(Don't Play This Song, Ghost! and Mojo So Dope). Check out the songs below, and pick up this man's album its pretty amazing! :-)

Kanye West FT. John Legend- Blame Game

All of the good music released this month has been overwhelming! I've been so behind for the last few weeks that I feel obligated to pass on a few of my favorite tracks to those that have been living under that same rock...

Mr. West has been behind our over abundance of great music for the last couple of months. What would music be without that guy? He is a genius and has graciously used his talent to bring some of the best music out this year to our ears. I would have to say that Kanye's new "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" is an amazing album which touches on his ever most deep and dark thoughts and twisted fantasies. Its hard to describe in words what only Yeezy so eloquently does through his music. So I suggest if you haven't heard the album you should definitely pick it up on Tuesday and hear it for yourself...(It will be worth the money trust me).

If you are a Kanye fan or even if you aren't he will make you a believer. One of my favorite songs on the album is "Blame Game" featuring John Legend who Kanye often collaborates with. The song starts off with John Legends soulful sound followed by the piano. I can't decide what is better the beat or they Lyrics. I think both complement each other and the song's lyrics are reminiscent of "Flashing Lights" but on a deeper level. I mean who can imagine a better LOVE-HATE song than "Flashing Lights?" Well it appears that Kanye has out done himself this time. If you don't do anything else today, listen to this song but most importantly LISTEN to the lyrics. These lyrics are more familiar to me now and I'm sure at some point and some place you can relate. (Lyrics Below)

"I'd rather argue with you than be with someone else"



Kanye West – Blame Game Lyrics
[John Legend]
Let’s play the blame game, I love you, more
Let’s play the blame game for sure.
Let’s call her names, names, I hate you, more.
Let’s call her names, names, for sure.
I’ll call you bitch for sure
As a last resort, and my first resort
You call me motherf-cker for long,
at the end of it you know we both were wrong.

But I love to play the blame game, I love you more.
Let’s play the blame game for sure.
Let’s call her names, names, I hate you, more.
Let’s call her names, names, for sure.

[Kanye West]
On a bathroom wall I wrote
“I’d rather argue with you than to be with someone else” (else, else, else)
I took a piss and dismiss it and went and found somebody else
arguing harvesting the feelings, I’d rather be by my f-cking self
till about 2am and I call back and I hang up and start to blame myself
somebody help

[Chorus - John Legend]

[Kanye West]
You weren’t perfect but you made life worth it
stick around, real feelings might surface
been a long time since I spoke to you in a bathroom gripping you up and choking you
what the hell was I supposed to do
I know you aint getting this type of d-ck from that local dude
and if you are I hope you are have a good time
cause I definitely be having mine

and you aint finna see a mogul get emotional
every time I hear bout other n-gga’s stroking you
might say I hit you
he sitting there consoling you
threw the money, threw the mud
who’s provoking you
you should be grateful a n-gga like me even knows you
now you noticeable and cant nobody can control you
1am and can’t nobody get a hold of you
I’m calling your brothers phone like what was I supposed to do
even though I knew, he never told the truth
he was just gon say whatever you gon told him too
at a certain point I had to stop asking questions
chuck dirt on eachother like mud wrestlers
I heard he bought some coke with my money
dat aint right girl
you getting blackmailed for that white girl
lyrics courtesy of www.killerhipohp.com
you always said Yeezy I aint you’re right girl
probably find one of them “I like art” type girls
all of the lights, she was caught in the hype girl
and I was satisfied being in love with the lights
and who to blame, you to blame, me to blame
for the pain and it poured everytime it rained
lets play the blame game…

[John Legend]
Let’s play the blame game, I love you, more
Let’s play the blame game for sure.

[Kanye West]
Things used to be, now they not
anything but us is who we are
disguising ourselves as secret lovers
we’ve become public enemies
we walk away like strangers in the street
gon for eternity
we erased one another
so far from where we came
with so much of everything, how do we leave with nothing
lack of visual empathy equates the meaning of L-O-V-E
hatred and attitude tear us entirely

Let’s play the blame game, I love you, more
Let’s play the blame game for sure.
Let’s call her names, names, I hate you, more.
Let’s call her names, names, for sure.

I can’t love you this much
I can’t love you this much
I can’t love you this much
I can’t love you this much
no, I can’t love you this much
I can’t love you this much

and I know that you are somehwere doing your thing
and when the phone called it just ring and ring
you aint pick up but your phone accidently called me back
and I heard the whole thing.
I heard the whole thing, the whole thing, the whole thing…

Corinne Bailey Rae "Is This Love"

I want to know how this song slipped passed me??? Corinne Bailey Rae's version of Bob Marley's "Is this Love" is so beautiful.I just heard this song on Pandora a few weeks ago and I've been playing it non stop, this is the exact reason I can get enough of her music! I think you have to be careful when remaking a classic but I would say she does the song the justice it deserves. What do you think??

Ron Isley ft. LAURYN HILL-"Close To You"

I really don't even know where to begin...LAURYN HILL IS BACK! I am speechless. Ron Isley has been talking about working with her on his new album for a few weeks and to be honest I wasn't really taking him seriously. But boy oh boy has he backed up his word! Lauryn Hill is featured on his new song!!! The song which is a remake of the Carpenters classic hit "Close to You" is spreading through the Internet like wildfire! As far as the song goes I don't really know how I feel about this version, it may have to grow on me. one thing I can say for certain is Lauryn Hill's vocals are amazing. She sounds unbelievably good! I have the song on repeat purely to hear more of her! Listen to the song and let me know what you think...

Bruno Mars: "Just The Way You Are"

I just love singer/writer/producer Bruno Mars. I can truly appreciate his talent and style. He is one to watch for...His album "Doo Wops and Hooligans" will be in stores October 5.

"If perfect is what your searching for then just stay the same."

Sheesh...That's sweet.

Check out his new video for "Just the way you are."

Marvin Gaye and Diana Ross "Stop, Look, Listen"

Marvin Gaye is one of my favorite artist of all time. I always think that I have his entire catalog of music until I come across something else... I especially love his collaborations with Diana Ross. "Stop, Look, Listen" is a great Marvin Gaye and Diana Ross song from the "Wonder Twins" album. My favorite part of the song is the beginning, love what he's doing with his voice and how the beat comes in...Pure Perfection.

Jazmine Sullivan- "Holding You Down" (Going In Circles)

Jazmine Sullivan is back with a new album, "Love Me Back" out September 28th (Love the title by the way) and I'm interested to see what she has in store for us this time around. I wasn't "in love" with her last project but I thought it was a pretty cool album. I love her voice and her overall style. I really like this new video for "Holding You Down" (Going In Circles) it has a house party theme which is always good. The video alone made me want to hear the rest of the album... September is going to be a GREAT month for music!

Justin Bieber ft. Kanye West & Raekwon

One thing that you can't deny is that Justin Bieber has an amazing voice. I must be honest this is the first JB song I've really ever listened to thanks to Ye and Raekwon. I immediately thought about how much I would've loved him when I was like 11,12. I think Ye did a great job on the production and using the Wu-Tang sample. This song is pretty cool. Might just have to download it..It's cute.. **Thanks Ye..

Cee-Lo Green "F*ck You"

I am loving everything that Cee-lo has released this year. I am convinced that "The Lady Killer" will be a great album. The concept of this video is hilarious, I love that it's creative and relates to the song... I wish more artist would try relating the song lyrics to the video, it really pushes the message and likability of the song that much further.

"I pity the foooooool who falls in love with you..." *Love it!
