The Heineken Red Star Soul Concert took place in NY last night featuring Raphael Saadiq with guests including Raheem DeVaughn & Claudette Ortiz with Ryan Toby. I haven’t seen them two in a while, I wonder if City High will come back…

Kenya Moore is looking great as usual. As for some of the others, they should’ve stayed home!

Everybody looks lovely. I didn’t know Ryan and Claudette were married? They make a cute couple. You learn something new everyday.

I did not know the 2 from City High were married! They need to come back, Claudette can sing.
Raphael Saadiq looks like a lost member of The Temptations. I love Tony Toni Tone though!
Kenya looks nice, Lupe is a cutie, I love Raheem Devaughn, he’s from my area, but WTF @ the Wacko Jacko jacket?!
DMX performed? Wonder how he did?
I like Hot Rod, he was on 106 the other day. Lloyd Banks is cute to me for some strange reason.
I would loved to see MJB, not Pharrell though.

from what i heard city high are done, there was a falling out with third member robby. Ryan has an album out and i’m sure claudette is putting one out soon.

i know they have kids too, i wonder if we’ll ever get to see them one day.

DMX needs to leave the rap game alone if he is going to beat up soundmen. I did not know Ms Ortiz was married. Pharell needs to help the Clipse out of there situation.

Claudette does have a very nice voice. Had no idea they were married. He can sing his butt off too. I wonder who serenades who.

14.

Tuesday, October 3, 2006 /

Claudette and Kenya both look very pretty…

Ryan Toby looks like my ex!!! Ewww…

G-Unit performimg w/o Young Buck? Then what the hell is the point?…50 is blah…Banks is annoying with that voice…and Hot Rod? I decline to comment on his corny ass!!!

Raheem reppin DC!!! But that jacket is a no go!!! Still my boy though…

My husband Pharrell lookin sexy as always…and Lupe chessin like a kid in that pic lol.

Raheem on CL?? FINALLY!!! Took ya’ll so dang long? smh.

Two Wrongs with Clef and Claudette stays in heavy rotation on my IPOD. That’s a tight joint right there. Wonder if she’s going to put out anything new soon. That would be nice. I dig her voice.

Kenya Moore looks like Natalie Cole here. Seeing how she was Ms America (or whatever) in the early 90s and still looks the same, I would say they picked a winner. She still looks great. I just wish she would get her career together and quit playing the buxom bimbo in TV and film roles.

50 look like ants are crawling on his face. Yuckers.

I went to that show! Pharrell and Mary Ripped it!! The show was held in a park underneath the Brooklyn Bridge…was so dope.

Pharrell is cute AND has a nice personality too…

I’m glad to see Raheem DeVaughn on CL as well.

Kenya is beautiful. I guess that’s why she was Miss USA huh?

Of the rappers performing photos-why does 50, Lloyd and DMX hand have to be near their crotch? Just a thought…

I LOVE RAHEEM DEVAUGHN, HIS MUSIC IS TIGHT!

RAPHEAL SAADIQ LOOKS LIKE A DAMN FOOL, THOUGH THAT IS MY BOY THOUGH, BUT WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED, I’M TIRED OF ALL THESE TALENTED MUSICIANS FALLING OFF! WHERE IN THE HELL HAS HE BEEN DAMMIT, AND WHERE’S THE NEW MUSIC..I SWEAR THE REAL TALENTED ARTISTS LIKE LAURYN HILL, RAPHEAL SAADIQ, AND MAXWELL, THEY MAKE YOU JUST WANT TO KIDNAP THEM, TAKE THEM TO THE STUDIO, AND FORCE THEM TO RECORD AN ALBUM…BUT OH WELL.

KENYA MOORE LOOKS NICE..OH AND THERE’S CLAUDETTE, HAVENT’ SEEN HER IN A WHILE.

I LOVE MARY, BUT SOMETHING LOOKS OFF IN THE FIRST PIC. OKAY, BOUT TIME DMX IS ON THE STAGE AND NOT TALKING “CRACK HEAD TALK.” NOW LET’S SEE IF HE CAN GET A CD OUT.

I have NEVER liked Kenya Moore(something about her)but I’m glad she has held the crown as MISS USA.

Now I have said this before…Claudette looks alot like Halle Berry.

I didn’t know who Raheem DeVaughn was,I just heard his song:”You”,I like the song,now I have a face to go with it-thanks!

22.

#21 - check out Raheem’s other cuts on Yahoo music: “Believe” and “Guess who loves you more”. The boy is mega talented. I wish he would get put on nationally already. He’s so slept on.

@kayjay: Thank god someone else said something about Pharell helping the clipse. Those are my dudes and they aren’t doing well at all. Claudette looks great. I heard her new song Handcuffs and it’s hot. She’s working on a new album. Yes she and her husband have been married for a while. My sister use to style her and that was a while ago. A couple of years now. Kenya is beautiful but it looks like her outfit was a bad choice. 50 is monkey boy! Lloyd Banks is an over sized Webster! Love Lupe Fiasco! MJB all day! That’s my girl!

Damn!!!!!Finally Raphael Saadiq made out the studio…He’s been producing for Sleepy Brown, Mary J, Kelis, Lionel Richie, Musiq, Brick & Lace, Governor,Leela James,etc…Ray looking like a throwback Sam Cooke in that pic. Let’s keep seeing Raphael Saadiq on CL Yall!!!!!!

Raheem touched my soul with his song “YOU”. It is definately a beautiful sentiment. Brian needs to bless us with a download on that one. (LOL)

Tuesday, October 3, 2006 /

I really like Claudette I think she has a voice that compares to “B” but can definatly compete with it. I always said she needed to drop a solo project because she did tear it with Wyclef. L. banks still looks like the COCO Crisipie Monkey to me.
“I Like COCO Crispie they are good to me”
I have a question for all you CL people, does anyone find it strange that at least 500,000 people like DFB enough to make their album gold, or is it just me?

I love me some RAHEEM DEVAUGHN. I still have GUESS WHO LOVES YOU MORE as my ringtone…But who’s hand is that creeping toward my man’s crotch?

Raheem Devaughn…im so i love with this man and his music…”you” and “believe” and “guess who loves u more” are wonderful, he is really talented.

Claudette Ortiz is just super fine!…and super talented.

Lloyd Banks…* bites lower lip in ecstacy*…too fine.

lupe fiasco is killing me with that pic!…cheesing like a 5 yr old, funny stuff.

“A woman’s worth” by Maxwell makes me so weak, i cant even speak.I tell u i’m gonna make a CD with all these songs and play it on the night my 21 yr old ass finally finds the right brother to give it up too.LOL.

Ummm not feeling Kenya in these pictures. Beautiful woman, but that shirt has got to go. I didn’t know that Claudette Ortiz was married to fellow City Higher. Good for them. Love her haircut.

Mary need to give them boots up though.

Raheem is fiyah! Who did…or rather didn’t do MJB’s hair? Claudette’s voice is beautiful, but a city high comeback…..hell to the naw! They should get their Ashford & Simpson on and record together.

#33 - “It’s funny that so many people know who Raheem DeVaughn is but didn’t apparently cop his CD…It is nice though….”

MissTee, Can’t speak for anybody else but truth be told I didn’t even know when he released the album at first. When I heard his music for the first time (years ago) I was like “who is that” but then I never heard the DJ say something like “Album in stores on…” or “Album released today…” So essentially I had to do my own research. That might be the reason he didn’t sell a mil out the gate. DJs play him but they never “boost” him. At least not where I’m at.

I used to think that Ortiz was pretty, but…not in those photos!

LOL @ #5- Raphael does look like one of the Temptations. LOL!!

I don’t think those are good pics of Claudette either.

Pharrell is not cute to me. He always looks nerdy to me.

Mary never quite looks pulled together to me.

Kenya Moore is always pretty.

Wow Claudette…Messed up with what went down with City High and her being the main reason. Thought the group had potential.

Needless to say, I always thought she had a pretty voice, hopefully she’ll make some good music.

@17. According to IMDB Claudette and Ryan have been married since Oct 2004.

Raheem Devaughn reminds me of D’Angelo minus the drugs..well actually he’s cuter. And very talented. I got to see him last year in a club in DC..he sounded really nice live.

I wish 50 would shave that mess off his face. He used to be kinda sexy he getting a little too chunky and scruffy. He better handle that because being busted is not the business!
