Rihanna; Yeah, She's COOL!

And, I'm totally not being sarcastic people. I really like Rhianna. I think she has paid her dues to show that she is here to stay. One thing I really admire about Rhianna is that fact that she was able to survive the Beyonce Haze. And what I mean by this people, if we don't know, Beyonce is the only urban/r&b/pop princess in this day that maintains her standing in all that she does. Key word, being POP... as in Popular. Rhianna was able to stand her ground during this Beyonce Era to claim her place as one of the top Musical Artists today.
Even though in the beginning, she was almost casted off as a B* wannabee with 'Pon De Replay' I think the only thing saving her was her heavy Barbadian accent. With some quick thinking by genius Jay-Z to put out another album only 7 months after her first album was released, she crossed over to Pop with 'SOS'. Once they let Rhianna be herself, something amazing took place. People took notice that she wasn't in fact like anyone at all. She was actually quite different from those whom she was being compared to.
Her style is immaculately odd, and I truly love her for that. She is someone who I'd consider one of the top trendsetters in the industry. In fashion, lifestyle, and music she brings the masses into her world of something new, always. So, since talking about something new and in true Rhianna fashion, I have to say, it took me at least 2 or 3 times to like this song... and now I LOVE it! I want you all to take a look at her video for "Disturbia". Yes, the song does take some getting use to, so take it for what it is. IT is something new, something different, and it ROCKS! Stop hating on Rihanna! Oh, and btw, who the hell does her marketing? One smart cookie, check out the video to see what I mean! I guarantee this song will be one hot banger well through November.

Sean Paul... Where For Art Thou?

I Am For The People!: Celebrities

Is anyone else wondering this? I predict a very strong comeback for Sean Paul in the very near future. He's been gone for a while, and dammit! I miss him. My favorite songs include, Gimmie the Light, I'm Still In Love, We Burnin' and of course Temperature. Regardless of the fact that he is sexy as hell, and puts out bangers every time, did you know that he played national water polo for years, was a proficient swimmer, and was trained in classical flute... hmm, interesting.

For some reason, I was under the impression that Sean P was strictly Jamaican; speculation, I guess. Turns out, he has Portuguese and Chinese in his blood as well... hmm, very interesting.

Be on the look out for a Sean Paul hit coming our way soon. But for now, check out the latest video by SeandaPaul. I actually really like this song. It's soooo HOOD! And um, is it me, or has Sexy been taking some dance lessons? IDK?

Jesse McCartney; the new... Jesse McCartney??

Have you heard Jesse McCartney's new song "Leavin"? After listening to it, I think that it is safe to say that once again Hip Hop culture has pulled another one of Pops outcasts in from the storm. To hear this sweet little boy singing all of these played out Ebonics... actually quite work for me! I love this song!
"...that thing you got behind you is amazing...make it rain...walk it out...tell your shorty...to the left..."
All these words are from Hip Hop culture, and even though only the stragglers are still saying these phrases, Jesse McCartney brings it back... straight to the POP culture, and then some!
Now if Jesse's 'beautiful soul' can swoon out a tune made up of mostly Hip Hip lyrics; Can Hip Hop get its dues now? Yes Hip Hop is here to stay; Yes, it is the innovation of all music; And Yes, Jesse McCartney actually said, "Tell your shorty..."
And BTW, has anyone ever seen his episode on 'Punked'? Definitely worth watching.

Lil' BowMama... Seperated at the Womb? Well, Maybe.

I've been thinking about this for some time now, and I figure it hasn't made it's way to the official headlines yet, so I'm gonna bring it up again. Haven't seen it on Talk Soup or Best Week Ever.

Is this something that just flew over everyones head? Or do people not even give a damn? Actually, I really don't care; it's just the similarities that down right... disturb me.
