THIS YEAR’S FIRST NEW MUSIC REVIEW

   

Bobby Valentino – Let’s Go (full) – download
I heard this premiere on the radio once with Bobby Valentino on the air. I thought it was corny then, and I think it’s corny now. Actually, something to me about the whole Bobby Valentino package is kind of corny. The fact that the used an element from a call that you use at a ball game is just kind of… I don’t know. And not only that, I’m not really a huge fan of Don Vito’s productions. But you be the judge for yourself.

Chris Brown feat. O So Krispie – Poppin’ (full) – download
Random… I’m sorry, but who really thought that they’d let O So Krispie come out with something else after that song she did with TLC? I really thought her few minutes of fame were up. “Poppin’” is Chris Brown’s 5th single from his album – he made this album stretch, which is great. ANyway, this remix is pretty mediocre in comparison to the original version, which was produced by Dre & Vidal – this one is produced by GreatScott. The O So Krispie feature kind of throws it off for me a little.

Diddy feat. Keyshia Cole, Pharrell & T.I. – Last Night (full) – download
This is funny because this was one of my favorite songs from Diddy’s album. I thought that this was going to be an official remix. They took a lot of Diddy’s part off, it’s mostly Keyshia, Pharrell (with his verse from Robin Thicke’s “Wanna Love U Girl”) and T.I. (with his verse from Amerie’s “Touch” remix that came out a while ago). The verses they choose, however, pretty much go perfectly with the song. I will be knocking this.

Ashanti & 7 Aurelius – My Number, Babe (full) – download
I’m sorry, but I really dig this song. It just gives me so much Prince, and anyone who knows me knows that I’m a huge fan of Prince. But you can tell that 7 (who produced and is featured on the song) is trying really hard to give off the Prince vibe. It’s actually uncanny how much their voices are sounding alike, and it’s kind of scaring me a little bit. I am glad Ashanti is trying to take a new approach. Because she can’t re-enter the industry with what she used to be doing. I could definitely hear this in the club.

  4. Mocha

    OUT OF ALL PEOPLE WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD U PICK O SO KRISPIE?? I SERIOUSLY DON’T GET IT CHRIS!

  5. I like O So Krispie, and I’m happy for her.

    That Ashanti joint is my new something to bump. That would cause me to do the human bobblehead in my car.

  6. SHAY

    Chris Brown sond is HOT!!!

  7. aSHLEY

    1-Chris Brown didn’t need to make a remix that song is fire on it’s own.2-Nothing against Ashanti but I’m just not feeling the song and her voice is still hard to listen to. How did she get a record deal. It seems like they just handing them things out nowadays.

  8. That Shareefa and Bobby V. is kinda hot. I love his voice, her’s…im iffy on…the track is nice tho!

  9. prada gurl

    sorry but i think ashanti’s song is a mess. a fat, hot ass mess dipped in chocolate sauce and vomit. i dont like any of bobbys music with the exception of ‘turn the page’.

  10. q_tis_diva

    i like diddys song..

    i like the original “poppin”

    B.V song is ok.. i dont hate it.

    i dont like ashantis song though

    but thats jus me

  11. kay kay

    i also like the original poppin and ashanti song has to grow on me

  12. kay kay

    oh yeah forgot to add o so crispe sounds just like left eye rip lisa lopes

  13. rkj

    Why is someone grown calling themself “O So Krispie”?
    What a dumb name.

  14. 2Sweet2Mistreat

    This is NOT Ashanti’s song! It’s 7′s and she’s featured

  15. FLORIDA ORANGE

    I DON’T LIKE THE ASHANTI SONG, I HATED THE DIDDY SONG THE FIRST TIME I HEARD IT AND I STILL HATE IT NOW, I LOOOVE THE FIRST POPPIN AND THE REMIX HAS A NICE BEAT I COULD SEE MYSELF DANCIN TO IT IN THE CLUB, AND I JUST CAN’T BRING MYSELF TO LIKE BOBBY V FOR NOTHIN SOMETHING JUST COMES OFF AS SO GAY AND CORNY ABOUT HIM

  16. k FROm JERSEY

    WE NEED BETTER SINGERS IN THE SCENE !!!!!!!!

    I TELL YOU, WE ARE MAKING THESE HORRIBLE SINGERS RICH !!!!!

  17. soldier89

    ashanti’s song sounds alot like the nicole scherzinger song “steam”

  18. J.C.

    That Ashanti/7 Aeriulus joint is slowly growing on me, but I stil think it’s kinda wack. And all of Diddy’s new stuff is just LAME!

  19. Compton_Chick23

    Chris Brown please stop for the love of Jesus, stop your album was awful and “Poppin’” is garbage, you should’ve released “Young Love.”

    And Ashanti needs to quit cause this shit sucks worse than anything she’s ever done, and all y’all Ashanti lovers need to STFU because yes we know its 7 Aurelius’ song but that don’t change the fact that we know she wrote it, with her illiterate ass putting “babe” in every sentence of something. And 7 Aurelius jacked that sample from B. Cox when he used it in the Nicole S. song “Steam” you can listen to it here:

    http://www.singersroom.co...tID=100271&SongID=330

  20. R&B 4 Life

    O’So Krispie is o’so tired.

  21. reddgal

    @#20 the song that was sampled by Ashanti and 7 Aurelius, which was also sampled by B.Cox for Nicole S. song Steam. The original artist is Kraftwerk. The name of the song that was sampled is named “Numbers”. Check it out.

    By the way 7 Aurelius feat. Ashanti is not too bad, it could have been more original, use your own beats and take more voice lessons Ashanti.
    Poppin’ the original is better.

  22. mack

    i agree that a remix to “poppin” wasn’t really needed, but i thought o so crispie sounds really good. kinda left-eyeish, but really good!

  23. Paxton

    i aqree #23 sh sound nd raps jus lyk Left-Eye…kinda luks lyk hr 2

  24. Ashanti song remind me of that Nicole Sherzinger or however u spell it from the pussy cat dolls song, “Steam”

  25. They used the same sample. How are ashanti and 7 stealing something that was stolen b4? hmmm? yeah. Anyway, I like the ashanti & 7 joint. It’s cool. 7 is giving off a prince vibe because he is so out of the box. I like him.

  26. Catie

    did you guys know that Bobby Valentino auditions for American Idol and did not even make it pass the hollywood round. i was watching the re-runs on the CW last month and saw it. it was shocked and amused at the same time by what i saw.

  27. Tahiyya

    so far i’ve heard 3 out of 4… and i am NOT impressed. is this how we kickin off ’07???

  28. Vanessa

    ok i love the last night original but the remix just seems forced, bobby v, poppin remix and ashanti i dont like. That ashanti song is a mess oh my hope its not a single

  29. ђìš ğ¤¤ð ℓΰ¢к ¢ђαям

    i HATE TO SAY iT, BUT YOU ARE VERY LATE ON THiS ONE!! ALL THESE SONGS HAVE ALREADY BEEN RELEASED ON OTHER WEBSiTES CEPT 4 THAT POPPiN REMiX.. WHiCH iS KiNDA LAME…….

  30. Taylur

    Chris needs to release that remix with Jay Biz! That joint is on fire. Him and Chris took Poppin’ to another level. This shit with O So Krispie (LMAO at that name) sucks!

  31. Taylur

    Bobby, Ashanti, and Diddy need to STOP recording music! They’re ridiculous.

  32. Nikki

    I’m definitely feeling Bobby Valentino’s song. O So Krispie sounded wack at the beginning of the remix, she got better with the second verse. I like it, it’s a cute remix. Last Night was hot. I’m definitely feeling that, even with the recycled verses. I heard Ashanti’s and 7 Aurelius track already, it had a different title. I still like it. It sounded better this time around.

  33. justme

    i luv that ashanti song,i guess i will listen 2 da other 1′s.

  34. Miss Honey

    i love diddy song…

  35. nichele

    dont like any of the songs….in 4 months these songs will be forgotten, like so many other songs today….if this is the type of music to be expected in 2007, ill continue to listen to the great r&b and rap artists from the 70s, 80s, and early 90s

  36. keepitreal15

    OMG THAT DAMN ASHANTI N 7 SONG IS HOTT IT GREW ON ME AND I FOUND MYSELF SINGING IT EVERY SEC….HERE’S MY NUMBER BABE IMAA GIVE IT 2 U….MY SHIT’S RIDICULOUS

    CHRIS BROWN SONG I LIKE THE ORG BETTER

    OTHER 2 SONGS ARE GARBAGE

  37. Aairy

    iight let me go ahead and put my 2 cent in rite now.

    diddy- luv the original and the remix iz hot too!

    chris breezy-da org. iz way betta but dis remix aint half bad. da beat iz hot doe

    BV-its ok. if he would hav left that corny ass ‘let’s go’ off it would hav been a hell of alot betta

    ‘Shanti- its mad catchy. when i first heard i wuz lik WTF but now im vibin to it. i luv Prince so i mite b bumpin lata

  38. Babycheif_fl

    Nicole Scherzinger’s “Steam” version is better. I f ashanti releases this as a single and video, she better get some dancing lessons because thius is a dance beat. Check Nicole’s song.

  39. rotex

    Im feelin the chris brown song, but the diddy song is off the chain.

    Reppin London!!!

  40. Confucius

    I love Prince but this song is a throwback to that annoying 80′s music that I can not stand. Do do not like it…….

  41. hdizzle

    I agree 41, thats a throw back to the THROW AWAY music from that era. Vintage does not always mean good

    PS I saw Bobby Valintino on one of the original episodes of american idol. Simon dissed him , he said he has more ambition then actual talent. Hes doing his thing now though. He just needs to get passed one hit wonder status and lose that cocky ass attitude.

    and how could you be mad at O so krispie for trying to get hers.

  42. cutiepie

    I love this song with 7 featuring ashanti something different but, people hate on ashanti so bad whatever she do they not gonna like

  43. SEXY

    The remix is a little better. I still hate the song. I am really surprised didn’t made a wack song like this. He’s too talented to be copying from Prince. And I love Keyshia but she didn’t make the song any better. Just a wack song. It sounds like they’re on ecstacy (however you spell it).

  44. hdizzle

    43 how is it different, its whole appeal is thta it mirrors 80′s music I.E. its familiar. Theres nothign different about it. Also peopel disliek her becuase she cant actually sing and the song sucks. The only peopel who would appreciate that song are people who are old enough to remember the 80′s and people who arent old enoguh would call it “unique”

  45. SEXY

    …”I am really surprised didn’t made a wack song like this”, I meant to say…”I am really surprised DIDDY made a wack song like this”.

    When I re-read my post I couldn’t even understand it lol.

  46. Peacekeeper

    Copying another is not being out of the box. It’s called being a clone. Doing something that’s being done by many others is not trying something new.

    Anyway, I like the original Poppin’ better.
    Puffy and Keyshia Cole’s song is cool
    7′s song is trash and sounds too much like a Prince reject and many other songs out.
    Bobby V…not feeling it.

  47. f3malemack

    uhhhhh wtf @ ashanti! what kind of comeback are you trying to make…you know people aint gonna really like it especially those who criticize rnb lost its touch. and chris brown, i aint gonna say nothin bout it cause he aint all that…his looks give him album sales

  48. kay kay

    oh my goodness keyshia cole is the best part of the diddy song and that is sad because she can’t sing to save her life i have yet to figure out what she did to get famous

  49. kay kay

    #48 i agree! i don’t think chris is all that i have seen better looking guys on the street

    i do believe he can sing and dance i think it probaly is his personality that gives him the likability factor :) he seems like a good person but he may not be alot of these artist pretend like they really like thier fans and then you meet them and the won’t even give the common people who are supporting their lavish lifestyles the time of day and you giving them your money.

    but i’m not saying this about chris but i know alot of artist do this this is why i don’t buy any cd’s or waste my hard earned money on concerts

  50. Lea Lea

    I don’t like Keyshia cole cuz she’s stank and her voice sounds horrid to me; she can’t sing.
    Diddy’s song is wack; very wack.

    Chris is not that cute to me either. He’s cute but not all that. Its just a bunch of hype. The same with omarion. Omarion is not really cute. Call me crazy but bow wow is cuter than omarion and chris brown combined.
    Anyways, the remix is ok……..lol @ O’So Krispie is o’so tired. lol.

    Bobby V. is kinda boring…….

    Ashanti & 7- this song grew on me……….I love this song its so funky and I like 7′s other song with vanessa carlton that ish is so hot. this is different and out the box, even though it is a sampled beat I have not even heard anything like this; even tho brian says it has a prince influence.

  51. hdizzle

    gotta love soembody who lauhs at their own jokes^^^^

  52. IslandGirl_Bri

    Feelin Diddy’s song…

    Bobby V is alright, his songs have been disappointing this time around with the exception of ”Turn the page”

    Ashanti’s song is ok, will probably grow on me anyway

    Poppin remix is ok, he’s really stretchin it tho!

  53. wess boogie

    Every song up here is absolute trash!

  54. kay kay

    where are all the real artist with amazing voices and songs that bring up old memeories we need some good talent these songs are good but thier not songs when you get into ur 30′s and 40′s that u can say remember this we have no artist that people like me in our twenties can talk about when we get older

    we need our own chaka khan, luther vandross, gerald leverett, patti labelle, temptations etc

    does anybody agree can i get a Amen! lol

  55. Compton_Chick23

    Good lawd was Bobby V. really on American Idol? How can that be if he already had a record contract with that group Mista? They had that “hit” song called “Blackberry Molasses” (and when I say hit song I really don’t mean it). Is it any wonder he was kicked off the show quickly he can’t sing, he can’t dance, and he can’t write music.

  56. Alisha

    Ive never took Ashanti and P.Diddy as artists Ashanti’s vocals are not good at all period. Ashanti really doesnt rank up there with Mary J. Blige,Jill Scott, Tamia and many others to name. Far as Diddy never felt him just because you have all the hottest artists on your album doesnt make your cd hot at all. I prefer him to stay in the background thats all. Bobby Valentino I love his voice he can really sing I feel that people underestimate his talents. And Chris I love ya but not feeling the remix with O’ So Krispie could of picked someone better. ANd yes #57 I agree where are all the real artists that can saaaaaaaaaaang!!! Im feeling some of the new artists but not all of them

  57. A Dot is pissing on the world in '07

    Feeling the ORIGINAL Poppin’, I still can’t get with Diddy or Bobby, EVER!! Ashant’s cool, very catchy.

  58. hdizzle

    Compton_chick

    Bobby never made it past the atlanta audition for american idol. They shut him down there.
