I’ve been hearing about this song for some time, because it came on the radio here in Atlanta all the time. It finally leaked on the internet, first on Ciara’s official MySpace page. At first, I wasn’t sold on the remix, even though it’s produced by Polow Da Don, who I love. But after listening to it louder, I have a new found appreciation for the song. The track also features a singer from the group Cavi, who is signed to Shonuff. Check them out on MySpace. I’ve always said that a remix should proceed its original. At first I didn’t think this did, but I’ve since changed my mind.
Lloyd – My Valentine (full) – download
More music is leaking from Lloyd’s upcoming sophomore album, “Street Love.” I actually really dig this song, I think it’s because it gives me some sort of early ’90′s flavor. There has been some disputes on whether Lloyd is signed to Shonuff now, and let’s nip those in the bud: he’s not. He’s still signed to The Inc. (who knew they were still around?) but Shonuff has been showing him much love. I enjoyed Lloyd’s debut album, so hopefully “Street Love” delivers when it drops in March.
One Chance feat. Trey Songz, Bobby Valentino & Lloyd – Look At Her (Remix) (full) – download
I’m not sure when One Chance’s album is coming out, but this is a remix of their first single “Look At Her.” Upon recieving this song, I was thinking that it was going to be just a remix with the same production with added features. However, much like the “Get Up” remix, I am digging this a littloe more than the original. I’m trying to find some production credits for the song, because, although it’s just another snap beat, I like the production and arrangement.
Diddy feat. Keri Hilson – After Love (full) – download
One of my favorite songs from Diddy’s new album, I just wanted to post this because I’d featured Keri Hilson earlier in the “artists to look out for in ’07.” Keri is all over the song, and I just love the way her voice floats over the track – I could do without Diddy. I love Keri’s writing style, and her voice goes so well with Danja’s production. I am expecting great things from Keri’s debut album!
Reguardless if it old, I like the Ciara remix! It’s hot, got that little Jodeci in the background.
Llyod song…ehhh
One Chance Remix is hot too, I’m feeling the young kats trying to bring some R&B back.
didn’t even listen to diddy song, not even interested.
Interesting, makes you wanna say ummmmmmm
Ciaras remix is hot. Im tired of the song but I just fell in love with it all over again.
Actually…I like all of these songs – except for Diddys’s.
Keri Hilson was featured on “In The Mix” soundtrack and I knew then she got talent. Love this song she did with Diddy.
One Chance remix is way better than the original. They need to do a video for this A.SAP.
Alright at Ciara’s get up remix. It’s cool.
salut pour tt c simo tfarwi7a walah
I like these songs.
oh
absolutely loving that keri hilson and p diddy tune!!!!
BLACK PEOPLE, PLEASE, READ & HEED. POIGNANT.
The sad thing about this article is that the essence of it is true. The
truth hurts. I just hope this sets more Black people in motion towards
making real progress. Chris Rock, a Black comedian, even joked that
Blacks don’t read.
Help prove them wrong! Read and pass on.
Please Note:
For those of you who heard it, this is the article Dee Lee was reading
this morning on a New York radio station. For those of you who didn’t
hear it, this is very deep. This is a heavy piece and a Caucasian wrote
it.

THEY ARE STILL OUR SLAVES We can continue to reap profits from the
Blacks without the effort of physical slavery Look at the current
methods of containment that they use on themselves: IGNORANCE, GREED,
and SELFISHNESS.
Their IGNORANCE is the primary weapon of containment. A great man once
said, “The best way to hide something from Black people is to put it in
a book.” We now live in the Information Age. They have gained the
opportunity to read any book on any subject through the efforts of their
fight for freedom, yet they refuse to read. There are numerous books
readily available at Borders, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon.com, not to
mention their own Black Bookstores that provide solid blueprints to
reach economic equality (which should have been their fight all along),
but few read consistently, if at all.
GREED is another powerful weapon of containment. Blacks, since the
abolition of slavery, have had large amounts of money at their disposal.
Last year they spent 10 billion dollars during Christmas, out of their
450 billion dollars in total yearly income (2.22%).
Any of us can use them as our target market, for any business venture
we care to dream up, no matter how outlandish, they will buy into it.
Being primarily a consumer people, they function totally by greed. They
continually want more, with little thought for saving or investing.
They would rather buy some new sneaker than invest in starting a
business. Some even neglect their children to have the latest Tommy or FUBU, And
they still think that having a Mercedes, and a big house gives them
“Status” or that they have achieved their Dream.
They are fools! The vast majority of their people are still in poverty
because their greed holds them back from collectively making better
communities.
With the help of BET, and the rest of their black media that often
broadcasts destructive images into their own homes, we will continue to
see huge profits like those of Tommy and Nike. (Tommy Hilfiger has even
jeered them, saying he doesn’t want their money, and look at how the
fools spend more with him than ever before!). They’ll continue to show
off to each other while we build solid communities with the profits
from our businesses that we market to them.
SELFISHNESS, ingrained in their minds through slavery, is one of the
major ways we can continue to contain them. One of their own, Dubois
said that there was an innate division in their culture. A “Talented
Tenth” he called it. He was correct in his deduction that there are
segments of their culture that has achieved some “form” of success.
However, that segment missed the fullness of his work. They didn’t read
that the “Talented Tenth” was then responsible to aid The Non-Talented
Ninety Percent in achieving a better life. Instead, that segment has
created another class, a Buppie class that looks down on their people
or aids them in a condescending manner. They will never achieve what we
have. Their selfishness does not allow them to be able to work together
on any project or endeavor of substance. When they do get together,
their selfishness lets their egos get in the way of their goal Their
so-called help organizations seem to only want to promote their name
without making any real change in their community.
They are content to sit in conferences and conventions in our hotels,
and talk about what they will do, while they award plaques to the best
speakers, not to the best doers. Is there no end to their selfishness?
They steadfastly refuse to see that TOGETHER EACH ACHIEVES MORE (TEAM)
They do not understand that they are no better than each other because
of what they own, as a matter of fact, most of those Buppies are but
one or two pay checks away from poverty. All of which is under the
control of our pens in our offices and our rooms.
Yes, we will continue to contain them as long as they refuse to read,
continue to buy anything they want, and keep thinking they are “helping”
their communities by paying dues to organizations which do little other
than hold lavish conventions in our hotels. By the way, don’t worry
about any of them reading this letter, remember, ‘THEY DON’T READ!!!!
(Prove them wrong. Please pass this on! After Reading it..)
The “Get Up” (remix) was incontrovertibly good! It has such elegance, beauty, and tremendous vocals on it. Ciara definitely emanates some great, audible ad-libs nearing the end of the bridge, and chorus. And Polow sounds seductively smooth, as well as the new singer Cavi. This is so astounding, Ciara should consider turning it into an actual single, it’s not unheard of.
Diggin Lloyd’s song. Don’t care about any of the others.
Ok #71 we get it you like Ciara DAMN!
thanks Bill…
Im glad you posted that.
Ever heard of the Isis Papers?
I read that when i was in college. It talked about this same information about how the white man is fully aware that we dont read. They say if you dont want us to know about it, put it in a book.
It also had an excerpt in there discussing what the Spanish, British and Dutch men were writing in their books as they shipped us here from Africa.
They noticed how we were all different skin tones and they said that they would use that to control us and have us hate one another.
Its a shame that they’ve been able to make these statements and live by them for almost 400 years now.
Yo this is my first time posting a comment, but i had to man, that lloyd song is quite old, i’m from the uk (london) and he was over here a couple of months after his first album dropped. he was on the tim westwood show and he played that song and said it was new, and i’ve been looking for that ever since, and now i have it, nearly two years later. thanks alot man love the site. trust me i’m not wrong. thanks again
o.k. #73 we know you hate ciara get off her posts and get a life
I will be copping that Lloyd cd and I haven’t buy cds in years.
@76 maybe you the one who needs to get a life listening to Ciara so STFU cause you don’t want none.
That Ciara remix is better than the original, though I dig both versions. Polow is the ish.
#78, we understand that you’re mentally ill. You don’t have to exhibit that throughout you’re WHOLE stay here.
That Lloyd song has classic potential.
Go and listen to Ciara, Talisa J and betta yet go get a life while you at it.
i agree #13. that song is the truest on the album.
best song out that whole list is the look at her remix. yeah, im on it.
Compton_Chick23 if I don’t have a life, then you DEFINITELY don’t have a life. You’re just a bitch that whines about hating Ciara, go fuck yourself, you worthless tramp!
I’m diggin the song by lloyd!! He’s not followin the whole snap music thing and bein himself. Its hot! One Chance’s song doesn’t sound anything like the original but I like it, they’re underrated!
Look At Her. Look At Her. Whoaa!!
Loving that song!
I really like Lloyd ever since he first came out. Something about his voice. So pure. He is sexy with all that pretty hair. I wonder if he is mixed or something.
I remember Bobby saying in a magazine that he wanted to form an R&B group with other solo artist, similar to LSG. If it’s him, Trey, and Lloyd that would be dope. I’m not a Bobby V fan but, Trey is in my Top 5 male R&B and Lloyd is like #11 or #12 now. Add Mario = the future.
For the people that dont know what they talking about… One Chance is not from ATL they are from Chicago !!!! so before you go snapping off get yo facts straight okay!
i love that one chance remix its better then the orginal…
Lloyd song is fire…oh my god…can’t wait till March 13,,,when my sexy husband’s cd drop…this cd sounds like it is going to be too SWEET
