Hey Young World!: Get a Load of This Slick Rick Cover
(thanks to Kelly Stitzel over at popdose for making me aware of this) Last week’s Hump Day Flashback spotlighted “Teenage Love”, one of my favorite tracks off of Slick Rick’s 1988 debut, Great Adventures of Slick Rick. That classic album has turned out to be surprisingly ripe for covers. “Children’s Story” has been covered in the past by Everlast as well as by Mos Def and Talib Kweli. Another fondly remembered song from that album was “Hey Young World”, Rick’s uplifting, […]
Macy & Bobby Bring the Sweet & the Funny in “Real Love” Clip
There have been many dynamic duos in the rock and roll era: Marvin & Tammi, Peaches & Herb, the Captain & Tennille. But…Macy Gray & Bobby Brown? I’m not sure how the two hooked up, but whoever thought of pairing the two together deserves some kind of genius grant. Who’d have thought that crazy + crazy would equal a song as sweet as it is nutty? The video for the song (the second Bobby-related clip to hit this week) is […]
New Release Report 6/21/10: Shady Monday
Is it me, or has almost every single Eminem album wound up being released early? Breaking from the tradition of having new music come out on Tuesday (I wonder why that started), “Recovery”, along with a healthy bunch of other new albums, arrives a day early. Most people who have gotten the chance to sample Em’s latest say that it’s a return to form. It’s certainly Eminem’s most contemporary sounding albums, with production from the likes of Just Blaze and […]
Macy Gray Sells Out…Or Does She?
I’ve been leading y’all off this site quite often recently, haven’t I? I’m sorry. Anyhow, Macy Gray’s back with a new album called “The Sellout”, and it’s actually quite good! I mentioned a week or so ago on our Facebook page how it features a duet with Bobby Brown (yes, THAT Bobby Brown) and it’s actually one of the album’s best tracks! So click on over to Popdose to see what I have to say about the album and check out […]
Is There "Beauty" In Macy Gray's New Song?
Ask me about unfulfilled potential, and I’ll tell you about Macy Gray. Macy’s 1999 debut album, “On How Life Is”, was damn near perfect. She revealed herself as a unique (to say the least) voice with an interesting lyrical outlook on life. Totally not cookie-cutter, and I dug it. And so did the millions of other people who bought the album. I saw her live a couple of years later, opening for Dave Matthews Band, and although she overdid it […]
