Friday Throwback: Nas’ “If I Ruled The World”

Earlier this morning, Big Money posted Nasty Nas’ new single Daughters , which is an ode to the fathers with daughters who are growing up a little too quickly and rebelliously for their tastes. I decided to keep up with the Nas theme for the Friday Throwback. In 1996, the Fugees blew up thanks to the power of the single Killing Me Softly from their sophomore album, The Score. It was also Lauryn Hill’s commercial introduction to the pop world. Just three days before Killing […]

The Singles Bar: “Daughters” by Nas

Nas has been releasing several stray singles over the last couple of months, but there’s been no concrete news about a new album–until now. Life Is Good is scheduled for release in July: a possibly ironic title given the fact that QB’s finest has been dealing with a fair amount of drama as of late. Divorce drama, the IRS on his ass, and apparently a daughter who’s been wildin’ the fuck out. Nope, “Daughters” isn’t an adaptation of John Mayer’s […]

Spin Cycle: Nicki Minaj’s “Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded”

The conundrum of Nicki Minaj – not Icki Garbaj, pithy Internet detractors – is a curious one indeed. At this point, she’s as inescapable a presence on the pop landscape as any of her peers, so much so that it’s hard to believe that Kanye’s apocalyptic posse cut “Monster” – wherein she contributed an energetic, schizophrenic, scene-stealing verse – was less than two years ago. In the interim, Nicki has hit big-time as both a solo artist and an in-demand […]

Spin Cycle: Amy Winehouse's "Lioness: Hidden Treasures"

Spin Cycle: Amy Winehouse’s “Lioness: Hidden Treasures”

One thing that can’t be denied was that Amy Winehouse was a unique talent, and as it turns out, quite influential. Despite Adele’s tremendous talent, it was Amy that paved the way for the renaissance of full-voiced British soul vocalists with a throwback sound. She was truly taken from us too soon, and the world will never know if she would have been able to come up with an album that matched the genius that was Back To Black. Despite […]
