Snoop Dogg? Snoop Lion? Whatever the hell you call him, he has a record out.

American Idol Season 11 – And Then There Were 7
My San Jose homeboy Deandre is no longer on this show. So I won’t have that hometown rooting interest anymore. But it doesn’t matter. I didn’t think he was performing at the level he needed to as with that falsetto, he was really a one-trick pony. When DeBarge is right up your alley and you don’t kill that DeBarge song, I’m not sure what other songs are there for you to kill. Tonight, joining me blogging the show is none […]
Spin Cycle: “Nothing But The Beat” by David Guetta
Fuck those Now compilations, David Guetta is where it’s at when it comes to popular artists banding together on one album. Let’s see the line-up on Nothing But The Beat, his 5th: Snoop Dogg, Akon, Jessie J, Flo Rida, Nicki Minaj, Will.I.Am, Lil Wayne, Usher….and that’s just off the top of my head. Speaking of the man, I am a sucker for Flo Rida. I don’t know what it is but I love everything he does. Pleas don’t ask me […]

“Michael” is the first release of unreleased material from Michael Jackson since his passing. It turns out to be a halfway decent compilation.

More Michael News: New Track + “Hold My Hand” Video Teaser
Anticipation is building for the first collection of unreleased material left by Michael Jackson. Another new song, “Much Too Soon” has surfaced, in addition to a teaser for the “Hold My Hand” video.
Hear Here!: “Kush” by Dr. Dre (with Snoop Dogg & Akon)
The hip-hop “Chinese Democracy” is finally gonna see the light, it looks like. The rumor mill is hinting very strongly that Dr. Dre’s “Detox” will finally see be released next February. The last full-length Dr. Dre release was in 1999, and Dre has been promising “Detox” for at least half a decade. So…take this news with a grain of salt, but also be aware that an official track has surfaced from the project-the first time that’s happened (as opposed to […]
Hear Here: Michael Jackson’s “Hold My Hand”
So, the first “official” single from Michael Jackson’s “Michael” (what even constitutes an official or unofficial single these days?) has made it’s debut, and it’s…a song that circulated heavily on the internet three years ago? “Hold My Hand” is the name of the song, and it’s one of the tracks that MJ worked on with Akon a couple of years ago (you know, back when Akon was hot). The version that leaked a couple years back was unfinished (and truthfully, […]
Spin Cycle: Quincy Jones “Soul Bossa Nostra”
The fact that “Soul Bossa Nostra” even exists is a bit confusing to me. Like, did this album need to be made? After all-it basically amounts to a huge slap on the back for Quincy Jones. Not to say he doesn’t deserve props-the man was at the top of his game for the better part of forty years and is an integral part of music history, let alone black music history. But I question the wisdom of letting a who’s […]
This Week in MJ News: A New Album??
Still wondering if those unreleased Michael Jackson songs featuring the likes of will.i.am, Akon, and Ne-Yo will see the light of day? Well, wonder no more. It was just announced that the first posthumous album of never-before-heard MJ material will be hitting stores in November. Apparently, Michael left over 100 unreleased songs in his vault. I actually think that number’s kinda low. Based on the stuff that’s been floating around the internet (even before his death) and the amount of […]
