the Bobby Valentino thread is interesting because this cat been around a good minute and yet he is still treated like Jazzy Jeff being tossed out of the Banks House onto the front lawn.

Mario has a good voice but lacks persona and charisma but still he had a few hits.

Ryan Leslie went AWOL it seems.

who else went Rhythm and Bubble and never came back?

we might need a Hologram to remind of us of them.

she could dance her ass off.
(check out the side slide she did in "like a boy.")


and when mannie fresh was working with her,
she had those dance grooves.

i don't know who told her she should sing ballads for a living.
but she shouldn't have listened to them.




she took all of the wrong moves out of janet's playbook.
she could have been bigger if she wasn't always trying to
sing like a sex kitten or something.


she could have had a career out of making people dance.
and then making videos w/ cool choreography and stuff.

i agree. i thought she was right there next to rihanna in that Lane. and to me ciara is sexier then rihanna, but thats a whoLe nother conversation

I wanna be where you are = 3-6 back to back listens every time. I had serious love for Hutch with only Foxy Brown and The Mack soundtracks. Now that I'm starting to finally grab other songs, its curtains. His brand of expressive pleading is a strong template. This man has jams. He knows how to build a song up to its conclusion too. He pulls that off with the music cuz he's full strength from the beginning to the end of every song.

Always thought Trey Lorenz was dope. But that particular style of r&b fell out of favor with what was considered popular right around or after the time his debut LP came out.

Her album is a classic and she had probably by far the best female R&B album of all last decade in my opinion. Her voice is beautiful and the production on that album was nice.

her first lp was a classic~!
my jam is "you'll never find"

semantics softer than couples at wedding alters
this cops and robbers
and u cant hold a candle
rip ur antlers off and hang them on my mantle
str8 rambo--rocket science wouldnt even try it
these dudes cant compare their focus is on a diet~me

BRUTHA.
I posted about their self-titled debut- few replies. I really liked it. If given a listen, i wonder what y'all would think. Vocally those brothers brought it- be hard pressed to hear others who could match them. But yeah talent alone won't cut it.

Think there was some internal strife and they couldn't get out of their own way and the sophomore album got shelved.

I thought after "How did you get here" blew up that I'd hear her album after album until I got sick of her, but no other big single. Weird to me.

hell, not many people even know who SHE is, let alone the group.

wordup on Ryan Leslie. his first two albums are personal classics. the last new things i heard from him had me scratching my head though. he rapped for the whole song and his lyrical content was irritating.
