1st Monica song is on fire

I agree with you on the brandy comments….Brandy’s album are always fire though so I’m not worried

I like Monica’s song but it sounds like something that would have been on the last album.

Im saying though, can we get some alternative rock on the new music review? All this hip-hop and r&b makes me want to slit my wrists.

Thanks Brian for the downloads. My collection is going to be hot this summer!

Monica has a beautiful voice. This song is not bad. She reminds me of a Toni Braxton.
I agree with caff. How about some Red Hot Chilli Peppers or Fallout Boy just to spice it up some.

Word up #5

Stadium Arcadia just dropped, along with Taking Back Sunday’s Louder Now, and Wolfmother’s album.

I swear, if it’s not one thing, it’s another - you people are never pleased. if I were to post some of that stuff (which I listen to as well), other people will make comments and complain and moan - “they’re not black,” “isn’t this supposed to be a black celebrity gossip site?” (which has happened) - now that I’m only posting R&B and hiphop, everyone wants to complain about that. I’m sticking to what the criteria of the site is. if you have a problem, don’t use the download links. it’s that simple.

the only song that is hard to open/download is the monica one. thats the only one im trying to hear. the brandy song seemed old/stale.the ll song wasnt my style but the other two are decent. thought i must say the music industry should become more creative/fresh/new. we all know about spinners/hoes/being wronged in a relationship and partying but is there anything more to black life??? i tell these *white run labels* will come to see int he near future that they can’t jus put out/support artists with subpar work. they’ll learn it when their atists sales are int he toilet

Brian,

don’t let these losers put you off your game, mayne. i TRULY appreciate your efforts here and was about to write to ask you to post more stuff like that rock chick you put up a few weeks ago. One of the things i like most about your posts is your willingness to embrace a wide range of Black music.

so keep it up…keep doing you…and THANKS!

BTW wuzup with Angel.La? Slipping /just a lil bit/

thats not possible she never slips but thnks for playin ^_^!!

Keep doing what ya do Brian. If people don’t like it than tell them to keep scrolling, it’s that simple.

CAff:

Some alternative rock makes me want to slit my wrists. I can’t stand hearing all them damn electric guitars and shit…give me a beat.

Indeed…I fully understand that argument. You can’t forcefeed common black people anything that isn’t in their nature. They’ll become confused and think you’re insulting them whenever offering anything capable of expanding their mental capacity.

I guess I’m just one of the few black americans who is above dumbed down lyrics and monotonous r&b whimpering. =\

Del Rio:

White artists or any artist of any race talk about the same things just in a different way. Just because we are Black and we choose to talk about or do certain things doesn’t make it wrong because “they” don’t do it.

LMAO

And just because some us of choose not to listen to a certain type of music doesn’t mean that we can’t expand our minds. Some of us just don’t like listening to that mess. Just like people choose not to eat brussel sprouts or skydive. Some shit just ain’t for you.

Losers? Wow. Sorry, I forget where I am sometimes. I keep anticipating a response with some intelligence behind it. Instead I get defensive remarks, off of a mere suggestion.

It’s like nobody can say anything that doens’t comply with the normal ass kissing. Maybe it’s my name.

Megan, breathe for a second. I didn’t say “Either put some rock on here or else! Fuck r&b and hip hop, bloopity blah blah blah! Argh”

I asked, in a suggestive way. Which I don’t do often. You’re OD’ing for absolutely no reason.

Brian,

You are doing a wonderful job with all the music that you post. I for one will download anything that you post on this site because I like everything, so anything that you post is fine with me. Keep up the good work.

Brian,

Forget about all the negativity, and keep doing you. I wish you, Angel and Tianna success in life.

P.S. That Brandy song is horrible.

Either way, this is terrible. The production, the other other singer featured on the track… I don’t know, this is just a mess.

lol,ain’t it!

@ suggestors,if you want brian to put ish like that,he doesn’t have to cause it doesn’t fall in the catergory of what CL really is he is just human like the rest of us so he just can’t put just anything.keep doing ya thing brian.i don’t think some of you know how hard to run a site like this.

Thanks Brian!

I’m not a music downloader and I usually skip the music posts but I came in to be nosey and oh my goodness…. looky what I found. A music preference fight. LOL. I especially like when Brian called us “you people” that was funny. haha. I’m personally into neo-soul but alot of people in my circle are not into rap or r&b so I totally don’t think it was wrong of Caff to request a different variety every once in a while. He’s a regular poster making a simple request. BUT, I also totally get Brian’s point that he’s merely sticking with the criteria of the site.

Caff

Dawg, nobody OD’ing over here. You are…lol You totally reading my comments out of context. I responded to what you said, if you felt I was angry sorry but it ain’t that serious over here. No hard feelings.

Del Rio:

yes they talk about the same stuff but they make it sound different. i mean like listen to pop n rock and stuff alot of that shih sounds differet. and iw asnt putting down all r n b/hiphop b/c lawd knows i enjoy john legend,lauryn hill,mos def,common, alicia keys, etc etc

I like Monica’s song. I cant wait for her to come out. I really am feenin for some real talent.

monica and brandy need to go back to the lab..they are too talented for this old or not…i have the new J.E cd this song is ok..but the rest of the album is just the same as always no changes same formula

yeah alot of black artists keep the exact same style their entire career ballad,pop,crunk etc when if u thinkabout britney she’s done pop,rock, rnb esk pop. now rihanna has crossed over a few genres just like beyonce

lol, that JE song is so bad… I didn’t even d/l the rest..

I read an MTV article where they said they were tryna get into the Bay Area hyphy movement with this song, wack.

Anyways, you can shape you’re audience and it’s better to push for diversity when it comes to music and not the same pop/r&b/hip hop genres (BET does that, and we all know how great their progamming is.. *whistle*). That’s just me I guess, I personally wouldn’t care if someone complained about wanting to hear the same shit 24/7 just b/c that’s what a majority of Black artists create.

Maybe you should just post one song - new or old, that’s a totally different stlye from the usual - call it ‘New Flavor’ or whatever you want then no one could complain cause you’re still catering to the original format like now…

I’d even contribute music to that if you want - I listen to everything from Bjork to Gorillaz to Res to Ice Cube to Minnie Riperton (yadda yadda yadda), so if you need any music I’d probably have it (I currently have 41 GB).

Not to mention… it’s not like everything out of R&B and Hip Hop is white, and there’s areas of even the basic genres that haven’t been touched - I know Brian’s commented about listening to Little Brother and such but that’s never been posted… lol

BRIAN i HEART THAT YOU GIVE US NEW MUSIC. IF I WANTED ALTERNATIVE ROCK I WOULD GO TO ANOTHER SITE…DUH! IT’S ABOUT BLACK MUSIC PEOPLE

Why does Monica keep trying to rap…I was straight on that after her last cd..otherwise the song is really cute!

thk ya guys

Hi all!
p
Bye
