Ryan Leslie

For some reason I can't get over how amazing Ryan Leslie is. I was watching videos of him last night and today and I just wanted to share some with you.

"How it Was Supposed To Be" is really good but i can't embed so go to  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flCCGtps10o. I also love how Tyson Beckford is in the video. ha

A Studio Session: 

Making of "Taste 4 Ur Love"

Cassie

I don't know why she would do this , but ok. For some reason I think she pulls it off well. Good for her?! Maybe it's for a cause?

New Guy: Jeremih

Let's have some birthday sex! That's what Jeremih is singing and looking for anyway. Island Def Jam signed this new artist in  March and "Birthday Sex" is his first single. I guess there was a fight for him among Capitol, Jive, and Def Jam. Jeremih fits into the category of Ne-Yo and The Dream with his r&b/soul/ rap style, but he still has a while to go to reach their level. His resume includes playing the drums, sax, bass, and piano, but  I didn't hear any of that. All I could think of was the "I-I-I" part, which sounds like a slower version the  "Overnight Celebrity" part, and how the lyrics are kind of ridiculous.Here's a little taste: "See you sexy and them jeans got me on 10. 1-2-3 Ding, I got you pinned. Don't tap out, fight until the end. Ring that bell, and we gonna start over again. We ridin' with passion, 'cause it's your birthday." All I have to say is "Woooow." If this sounds appealing to you, go to www.myspace.com/jeremih and dig in. I think he has potential because he does have a voice, but I don't think this was the right single to promote a new artist.

Birthdays are the Best

Birthdays are a big deal, so we all need to recognize it's Q-tip's birthday today! If you don't know who he is then you're missing out. He was a part of the group A Tribe Called Quest who helped revolutionize hip-hop, he's a producer, and now a solo artist. His most recent big project was his album "The Renaissance." Go check it out. 

Here's a couple songs so we can all appreciate him and his greatness. Wish him a happy birthday on twitter QtipTheAbstract.

Changed Man

Kanye posted this on his blog today. Kudos to him for being a changed man. Maybe it has something to do with his new girl too. I'm glad to see he has someone good in his life now. You can go to http://www.southparkstudios.com/episodes/220762 and watch the episode. It's pretty hilarious.

I Want to Be Just Like Him When I Grow Up

This kid, Collin Johnson, is a freakin' prodigy and I'm so jealous. He's only 10-years-old and he can basically play every instrument by ear. The even more amazing thing is that he's survived three brain surgeries because of a brain hemorrhage that he had when he was an infant. He's coming out with a cd soon too. What more can he do?
