The Review: Loso's Way

On the heels of his '07 Billboard #1 HipHop/R&B success, From Nothin' to Somethin', John Jackson otherwise known as Fabolous has once again delivered. Loso's Ways, the rappers fifth studio effort hit shelves this Tuesday 7-28 & if the sales reflect the product, this should be one of Fab's best first week showings to date. Known for his Tyson-esq Punchlines & his Estrogen laden radio friendly lullaby's, Fab leaves no stone unturned with this this one. On tracks like"Makin' Love" feat. Neyo (Side bar, Uber dope Brandy feat. Wanye Morris-Broken Hearted sample), & "Everything, Everyday, Everywhere" feat. Keri Hilson, Fab leaves his female constituency thoroughly satisfied. For the more "lyrically inclined" if you will, Fab provides tracks like "salute" feat. Lil' Wayne & the RIDICULOUSLY hard punching intro "The Way". Loso's way, similarly themed to former label mate Jay-z's American gangster, serves as the musical embodiment of the rappers big screen debut also entitled Loso's Way. Overall a very good body of work, arguably his best to date & definitely worth the few clicks to purchase on itunes or the trip to your nearest retailer.

If I Ruled The World...

I got up this morning very confident about my future. I told myself that I would not stop until I did everything that I wanted to do.

The only thing that can stop a person from accomplishing the goals that want is, THEMSELVES. Let nothing stop you in your

pursuit of happyness! People only tell you that you can not do something because they just how jealous they would be if you

made the impossible, possible. Nothing is impossible. I promise. If we can turn radiowaves into pictures, nothing is impossible.

Take me as example. Continue to follow me as a go for my goals. Let my story be inspiration to you. Let my courage take the

edge off of your fear. I am terrified but that nervous energy is my driving force. I will not stop until i get want I want. And you

shouldn't either! Whatever it is....JUST DO IT! What would you do if you ruled the world?! I'd love to hear your dreams....

iHope you live before you die-Wally.Vega

Its THAT time again...

No. I'm not talking about Thanksgiving, Hanukkah's, Kwanzaa, or Christmas....but the coveted fourth quarter of music. Artists like Young Jeezy and Lil Wayne kept the summer hot and now that the leaves are starting to fall from the trees, the Giants of Hip Hop are awakening from their hibernation.

Last week I talked about the heavily anticipated release of T.I.'s Papertrail. This week lets discuss high climatic release of Kanye West's fourth studio album "808's & Heartbreak." He dramatically unveiled his new single "Love Lockdown" at the MTV Video Music Awards, back by the blaring African drums that would have made Christopher Reeves ( God bless his soul) tap his feet! I recently was watching Ellen (CHANNEL SURFING) and he was a guest on her show and he premiered the video for his new single. It looks as if the Louis Vutton Don was inspired by the movie "American Psycho,"but his hair looks like he's still on that spaceship from the Glow in the Dark Tour. As usual his creativity seems to be unmatched as I was drawn in to actually anticipate the events that were to transpire throughout the video.

Now another artist who is slated to release in the heavy fourth quarter is Kanye's label mate Common. His last two albums have been superb to say the least and I'm very elated to see what kind of music he and super producers,The Neptunes, can conger up. His first video, The Announcement was laid back, yet party inspired. I recently saw his second video, Universal Mind Control. This is definitely left field but, how many of us play baseball anyways?

Now videos are supposed to enhance songs, but in this video, Common EMBARRASSED his acting coach. The song is very upbeat and break dance-esque and he never comes out of his "too cool for school" shell. But don't take my word it, watch it for yourself!

Until Next time..- Find your swank. Think insane. Be urbane.

Groovin' on a Sunday Afternoon

I don't know if you were able to see the innovative, insightful, creative Glow in the Dark Tour starring none other than the Louis Vutton Don, Kanye West; with appearances from N.E.R.D., Lupe Fiasco, and Rhianna. I wasn't able to empty my bank account to go see it, yup, still broke like Kobe's jump shot in the finals last year. If you were able to go see the tour in the United Kingdom, then you may know the significance of this spotlight. One of the opening acts for Ye' was Oxford graduate, Mr.Hudson and his band The Library. Word on the street is that they were recently signed to G.O.O.D Music, the record label of Mr.West. After taking a listen, I cannot really be mad at Kanye if he did sign them. They would be very good for his label, they could play live in the studio, and surely it would improve his production while in the mean time building an even larger fan base in Europe. If John Lennon and Maroon 5 had a love child, they would be paying child support for Mr.Hudson and The Library. Their sound is fresh, smooth, and eclectic, but they are definitely representing London Town to the fullest, no wanksta isssh here chum. The youtube video below is titled "Ask the DJ," a lighthearted love song about a weekend out with that special young lady. Enjoy. Until next time laddies... Find your swank. Think insane. Be Urbane.
