THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW

   

Chris Brown – Nothing But Love 4 U (full) – download
Lots of e-mails about this song. Not sure of this is a new song or something from old sessions. If it’s new, it’s wack, and if it’s from old studio sessions, I can definitely see why it was left off the album (which has much better material than this). But anyways, I guess this is for the people that asked for it, I’m not digging it on this end.

Ciara feat. 50 Cent – Can’t Leave ‘Em (full) – download
A lot of people seemed to like this song as well, from Ciara’s new album, “The Evolution,” which drops in stores on Tuesday. I like this song, but I can’t stand 50. I think that Ciara could have gotten someone else to be featured on this track and made it just as good, if not better than Mr. Cent.

Mary J. Blige & John Legend – King & Queen (full) – download
This comes from Mary J.’s up and coming greatest hits album. I’m not really a fan of either Mary or John (not saying I don’t like them, I just have never been a fan of either). Their voices sound great together on the song, they are both soulful singers, so they compliment really well. This song is a good look.

Janet Jackson – With U (full) – download
Said to be Janet’s new single from her latest album, “20 Y.O.” (which hasn’t been doing all that great). However, although Janet’s album didn’t do so well on the charts, I appreciate the production and writing that Johnta Austin, Jermaine Dupri, and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis did on the track. I’m fans of all of their work.

  1. I really don’t like that song for Janet’s next single. I think she did it all wrong this time around. But I still think Janet sexy!

  2. SAFE YO SELF HOMIE!

    I dont like the ciara song that much

  3. THE TRUTH

    Chris Brown – This Dude sounds too fucking gay & it’s a weak remake of Heavy D’s joint.

    Ciara w/50 – I think this would have been a much better song if 50 was rapping the whole joint and Ciara was doing the chorus. And I’m not even a 50 fan like that.

    Mary J, John Legend – It’s was good, but John came thru with much more soul than Mary on this one.

    Janet – Same OL ..Same OL .. What ever happened to her creativity?

  4. Whit

    I can’t wait to buy Ciara’s CD on Tuesday :)

  5. Fly Anonymous

    “Mr. Cent”….

    *DONE*

  6. hdizzle

    I never thought it possible for 50 to be any whacker.

    Is it officially time for 50 to sit down? I’m asking because I nver liked him but it seems hes more then wore out his welcome.

  7. Wiseguy

    C.breezy… I love him, but wtf

    Ciara – I’ll pass and LOL @ MR. Cent

    Mary – It’s cool, but whats up with her GHs, none of her hits are on it!!!

    Janet – This is nice. I like.

  8. ciara and 50 song is ok, but i don’t think they blend as artist. Maybe another rapper would have been better but 50 does equal $$$. lol!

    chris weak remake and i am not even saying this cuz i’m not a fan

    mary and john was nice

    I want janet to come out w/ a new album already w/o her boyfriend’s productions and back to how she used to be. I hope some of these celebrities will realize that just b/c they are dating does not mean that they will automatically make great music together.

  9. LilMamaKatz

    Mary has done alot of great stuff lately..
    i hope her album will do fine!!

  10. Compton_Chick23

    Chris never liked him, and this song isn’t persuading me to like him.

    Ciara should’ve gotten T.I., Ghostface, Lupe, Lil’ Wayne…but 50??? Ciara c’mon now! This is why 50 is only fuckin wit those pathetic G-Unit members.

    I love Mary but I hate John Legend, and I will be buying her Greatest Hits album.

    Janet I thought your album was good but you keep picking these ignorant singles from it!

  11. BLJ

    Brian I knew there was a reason I liked you, I just couldn’t figure it out…
    You cant stand 50 cent either:)

  12. JAIVA

    I LOVE 50! He is sexy and getting his entrepreneurship on, and he is strong. Sign me up for a duet with Mr. Cent anyday!

    TOO much man for Ci-Ci anyways, stick to Bow Wow.

  13. I would love to listen to some of the songs, but none of them are available to download.

  14. pikaboo

    did anyone hear about 50cent dissing oprah calling an oreo in elle magazine? hes such a FOOL his mother should hav aborted him, wat a wanka.

  15. Tyra

    I want Janet to come with some mature shit….she still singing about the same shit Ciara talks about…..I know there are a lot of people out there that dig Janet but I really dont respect it that much….she hasnt evolved as an artist to me….personally, I think she still thinks that its okay to sing about 20 yr. old issues than take notes from Tamia and step her game up….Now Tamia….thats who yall need to catch up on…….

  16. dee

    I agree w/ Tyra concerning Janet. She really has not grown as an artist. I’m tired of hearing this sexual related material from her. She has been in this mode for at least 15 years. The one thing I can about Madonna is that she really has evolved. Janet needs to take note of her career. One song I do admire on her cd is Enjoy. Why isn’t she releasing that track!

  17. IslandGirl-Bri

    The downloads arent working…

  18. Talisa J

    I love the Ciara joint!!!!! She shoulda got T.I. like he got her for “King & Queen”. They should go out!

  19. Rihanna cannot sing

    I like Janet’s song. Can’t hear what she is talking about but sounds like good music to make love to :)

  20. Daijah

    Dang why erybody hate 50? He’s a good business man and he gettin money so u cant knock the hustle.

    I love the Ciara Song.

  21. Ayanna

    thanks brian i thought i was the only one that couldn’t stand 50 cent

  22. J

    last time i read the lyrics to with u it sure didn’t sound like a SEX song to me it was a love song.

    WITH U

    Strangely I feel a connection with you babe
    Oddly enough I crave for it to remain purely
    More authentic than I’ve been used to
    Surely this can’t be something that’s taboo cause you

    Got it like I like it and I feel the need to say
    Baby it’s forever and I really mean to
    Make you feel as special as I see you baby
    Never have I ever been around someone
    Who makes life so free and life so fun
    And as crazy as it may sound, I ain’t joking baby

    Cause when I’m in those arms of yours
    I’m so gone
    The things I like
    Can’t tell me it’s not right
    When I’m with you
    I lose myself and no one
    Can make me do
    What I can’t wait to do when I’m with you

    Really I get inspired off you baby
    Truly I feel alive from you
    And you’re the only
    No one else can duplicate you
    I’d leave the one I have I know
    It’s sad but damn you

    Got it like I like it and I feel the need
    To say baby it’s forever and I really mean to
    Make you feel as special as I see you baby
    Never have I been around someone
    Who makes life so free and life so fun
    And as crazy as it may sound I ain’t joking baby

    Cause when I’m in those arms of yours
    I’m so gone
    The things I like
    Can’t tell me it’s not right
    When I’m with you
    I lose myself and no one
    Can make me do
    What I can’t wait to do when I’m with you

    The times that we’ve shared together
    Are some of the best times of my life
    I wish you were the one
    I could be with forever

    Cause when I’m with you
    I don’t want tomorrow to come
    And if I had my way
    I’d spend every day and night in your arms
    So let me lay here
    And feel what happiness feels like
    And wish for it to last because
    Tomorrow it’s back to real life

    Until then
    I’ll just keep dreaming

    Cause when I’m in those arms of yours
    I’m so gone
    The things I like
    Can’t tell me it’s not right
    When I’m with you
    I lose myself and no one
    Can make me do
    What I can’t wait to do when I’m with you

  23. devon

    janets album was certfied platinum the other day but no one said anything about that… interesting
    As a fan i actually can’t wait till janet goes away cause when she’s gone for like 3 years you realize that this bitch is always at the top of her game and that no matter how hard the others try they won’t be at her level for nother 20 years.
    THERE WAS A GUY WHO WAS A RECORD EXECUTIVE IN 1985 A AFTER JANET’S SECOND ALBUM BOMBED WHO SAID “DON’T BE SURPRISED IF JANET JACKSON DISAPERED IN ANOTHER TWO YEARS” TEN YEARS LATER JANET IS A SUPERSTAR WHO’S THE NUMBER TWO BEST SELLING POP FEMALE ACT (MARIAH IS #1), AND THE NUMBER 9 BEST SELLING ROCK AND ROLL ACT EVER! AND THAT RECORD EXEC IS SELLING CAR PHONES!

  24. gq

    CHRIS BROWN-WTF
    CIARA- I LIKE “THATS RIGHT” BETTER THAN THIS
    MARY & JOHN- THEY SOUND GREAT
    JANET- I LIKE THIS TOO,I LOVE THE BASS. IT CAN BUMP IN THE CAR!
    THANKS BRIAN!

  25. ((Hypnotic_Seizures))

    To Brian:
    Please grow up and quit with the artist hating,you’re supposed to review music,not state your opinion on the artist.I swear,black people hating on other black people is the exact reason why white people dont like the black race.
    What has 50 cent done to you personally to make you “not stand him” ?Could it be making hiphop music?making hit songs?making hit albums?beefing with another artist?releasing a movie?because I cant see how all this ^ affects you personally,I can not see what Curtis Jackson has done to you to make you hate him.
    If you dont like 50 cent for your immature reasons then dont listen to the song,simple as that.
    This is an honest review:On a scale of 1-10,the song gets an 8;Its not perfect but it is a good song.
    I feel ashamed for you and the other users here thinking ‘hating’ on a music artist is the ‘cool’ thing to do.
    Pathetic.

  26. ((Hypnotic_Seizures))

    To #14
    You do know why 50 cent called Oprah an Oreo,right?
    You do know that Oprah Winfrey,the black billionaire,bullied Ludacris when he went on her show,right?
    You do know that Oprah Winfrey declined having a show with Jay-Z right?
    Do you also know that Oprah Winfrey has personal hate for hiphop music?
    I do not agree with calling a woman a cookie,but I do understand why he called her that.Time for you to learn a few things.

  27. Compton_Chick23

    50 is just TERRIBLE, he has fallen off ever since the white people on TRL caught on to him…His last CD was garbage and he’s too busy working with his other crappy G-Unit rappers (Except Young Buck) to make a good album.

  28. SUGA BUGA

    Oprah caters to the white audience, shoot forget the black audience. No, For real, Oprah is gonna stay tight with the white crowd, afterall she is eating caviear(sp) now, not chicken!!!

  29. Everybodies SPECIALLL!

    Ok some of yall need to get it together! Oprah caters to GROWN WOMEN, not white women but GROWN WOMEN. U really think a 45 yr old Black woman is gonna be interested in hearin 50′s ignant ass degrade women or other mysogonistic rappers? Sorry but no dice, does ur momma wanna hear about the latest beefs? Probably not, so why should Oprah who caters to GROWN women have “gangsta” rappers on her show?

    Nigga needs to go on tyra if he needs to be on a talkshow that damn much!

    Oh an if brian wants to “hate” on an artist then thats his priority! Just like he can not listen to the song, you can , not click on this blog. Besides 50 is doing more damage than you realize. With all of his women hatin lyrics and glamorization of violence he is helping breed an ignant group of chilren ready to beat they ho’s an cop niggas once they reach 13.

  30. Everybodies SPECIALLL!

    meant pop instead of cop lol!

  31. $teph

    Chris Brown: I loved Chris 1st album but this song iono … I just don’t like the song.

    Ciara: This song is nice, but I have to agree with Brian, she could have had someone else on this track.

    Mary & J: LUV IT!!!

    Janet: This is one of my fav songs on this album, I luv it!!!

  32. noname

    I don’t really care for 50 Cent as a person(I don’t know him personally so it’s more of a I don’t care for the image her projects and the public persona that is “Mr.Cent”) but I will admit I like some of his songs mainly because of the beats. The Ciara song is decent it didn’t really need 50 but since he’s on it I just tolerate it, he doesn’t make or break the song 4 me.

    Not feelin the C-Breezy song I agree with Brian’s review.

    Janet…I’m apathetic, she fell off she needs to try again.

  33. R&B Fan 4 Life

    After that Bow Wow song, I wouldn’t expect less from C. Breezy. He could try much better, I know he can.

    That fine ass Ciara, girl is bangin! but 50 was okay, putting it mildly. She should have gotten T.I., JMO.

  34. maashallah

    damn i thought it was just me that thought 50 was stinking up Ciara’s song. ugh cant stand him. he cant rap. end of. ANYWAY lol i love the song C.R.U.S.H on her album. i hope she releases it.

  35. me

    I LOVE THAT CIARA/50 JOINT. LEAVE 50 ALONE

    i’m happy for janet she is platnum beyonce is platnum. but why do people act like beyonce has sold so much more. who else, justin is double platnum. i don’t think christina is platnum yet. mary’s still about 3mil deep

  36. Rihanna cannot sing

    @ #22 I guess I am thinking of MAKING LOVE you are thinking of fucking. 2 totally different things.

  37. truthfullyspeaking

    I love the Ciara song. I haven’t heard the others because I don’t care, but at first when I heard Ciara’s, I didn’t care for it. But the more you listen to the song, the more you like it.

  38. Mrs. Carter NOT TO DO WITH JAY-Z

    God, I love that Janet song! Can imagine bumping it in the car, the bedroom, everywhere.

  39. Mrs. Carter NOT TO DO WITH JAY-Z

    I’ll pass on Ciara’s talk-singing ass.

  40. Mrs. Carter NOT TO DO WITH JAY-Z

    @#29 It is not 50′s job to breed kids. It is their parents’. If a kid cannot decipher the difference between what is right and wrong in what they hear and see out there, there’s something fundamentally wrong with the home training to begin with.

  41. Oprah done s NOT have a “personal hate” for Hip-Hop music. She has a “personal hate” for people who use the N word every five minuets.

    Its a real sad day when people think you are “less black,” if you care not to use the N word. Its stereotypes like this that we perpetuate that makes it hard on us; white people have nothing to with it. We all are not mindless drones walking around all day listening to Hip-Hop with a piece of chicken in our hand; it would be nice if we stop putting our self in that box as she has. And the fact that she might be eating caviar now has nothing to do with it, either.

    And NO, I do not think Brian has EVER hated on an artist. I do, however, think he should remain impartial since he is ‘reviewing’ something. Don’t you think its sorta hard for you to look at a song, for what it is, if you have a special bias towards it?

  42. JJ Cab

    Ciara sounds like Brandy. I like it!

  43. It's a Waste

    I’m not feeling any of these songs.

  44. Everybodies SPECIALLL!

    Allot of ciara’s harmony’s she be soundin like brandy lol! Especially My Love, cause i was thinkin it was brandy foreal!

  45. ((Hypnotic_Seizures))

    To #29:
    Since when is it a music reviewers priority to hate on a artist?
    Tell me,if I told you right now,review the next Windows(Windows Vista),are you supposed to review the Operataing System or state your opinions on Bill Gates?
    It’s time for us to grow up and realise that there is no logic behind ‘hating’ on someone,for whatever reason.

    50 Cent is doing more damage?Are you serious or are you being ignorant on purpose?If I play you “Stan” from Eminems album,does that mean you should put your wife in a car trunk?Where does Eminem state specifically that you should go out and do it?

    If I play you “Fuck the police”from NWA,does that mean that NWA want you to go and shoot a police officer?
    If a child smokes weed,who would you blame,Snoop Dogg or the parent?
    If a child sells drugs,who will you blame,Young Jeezy or the parent?Was Young Jeezy living and looking after the child?

    So it’s ok for Oprah to bring a rapist to her show,but it isnt ok for her to bring a former drug dealer turned entrepreneur?Its ok for Oprah to bring a murderer,a person who has taken away lives,to her show but it’s not ok for her to bring a rapper who simply talks about it?If you can seriously justify this then you have to question your level of intelligence.

    Link me to a song whereby 50 Cent specifically states that he hates all women in this world,link me to a song where he says “FUCK THE FEMALE RACE”.Since he’s ‘hating’ on women,you should be able to find a link easily.

    Oh,and please dont even bother bringing up male rappers lyrics such as “Fuck that bitch”,because,incase you dont know this,even women say that.And since by definition a woman is a member of the female race,it goes against your flawed logic.

  46. NEWORLEANS_FINEST_CANDI

    AINT EVEN GON LISTEN 2 CHRIS BROWN, CIARA SONG IS NICE BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE ANOTHER SONG WITH THE PIANO AND ALL, I CANT THINK OF IT, AND JANET SONG IS GROWN N SEXY, NICE SLOW GROOVE TO IT BUT HER VOICE SCARES ME AND I LOVEEEEEEE MARY SO MUCH, PPL ALWAYS CALLED ME A YUNG MARY, GO GIRL, LOVED DA SONG!

  47. Dre

    I think this Janet track off the new CD will bring her CD back….rumor has it that this is the single they were talking about having Mariah do a remix on…this is one of my favorite tracks off the CD (next to “Enjoy,” and “Do it to Me”)

  48. TUTUT

    Funny, people dont like 50 cause of the way he acts, yet you have half of you on this site that insults and talk shit about everything you have a difference of a opinion on, only difference is 50 is rich and most of you are broke on your computers mad.

  49. ((Hypnotic_Seizures))

    To #41
    Yes,Oprah does have a hate towards hiphop music,if she had a hate towards people who use the N word over and over again,then why did she have Dave Chappelle on her show?Why did she have Chris Rock on her show?Why did she have Kimora Lee on her show?Why did she have Kanye West on her show?Since Eminem has never used the N word,why hasnt he been on the Oprah show?Because he’s white?No,thats not the case.Because he’s rich?No,thats not the case.Because he’s a rapper?Hmmm.
    True,I agree with you,any music reviewer is supposed to be unbiased,this Brian or whoever his real name is,clearly states he cant stand 50 cent.Hence,his review of the song is based on his ideology that disrespecting a music artist will make him ‘cool’.Which,in other words,is stupidity in it’s highest form.

  50. Shalonie

    i cant stand that cb song, dang lol

  51. toocute

    I like the John and Mary’s joint.

  52. gezzy

  54. Grown&Sexy

    AND THAT MARY SONG IS TIGHT…FUCK THE OTHER SONGS

  55. undenied one

    chris brown and 50 cent are both gay

    It takes one to know one.

  57. JC

    I love that song from Janet. That is one of my favorites from the album. To all you haters out there….. Go somewhere. All of Janets albums have “Changed the Game”. Let her just sing. She says that on Track 1. She has nothing left to prove.

  58. hdizzle

    If she has nothing left to prove then she should stop stretching out but naked over magazine covers. This album is not up to par with her others.

  59. carl

    I’m lovin the Ciara sonh. I’m lovin crush, my love & like a boy plus many more. Thats about the only song im fillin from this review. Oh yeah the Janet joint is iight. But DAMN back 2 Ciara. She is so0o fine. LORD HAVE MERCYY!!!
