THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW
Monday, August 13, 2007

50 Cent feat. Robin Thicke - Follow My Lead (full) - listen
50 Cent might be mad about the leaking of his album, and he’s been releasing videos as much as he changes underwear. Seems like 50’s album is strictly geared towards the ladies. I knew that Robin was gonna be working with 50 because they’d been making too many cameo appearances together. I kinda dig the groove of this song, regardless of my not being a 50 Cent fan. Robin Thicke’s voice just floats over everything, so I’m kinda feeling it.
Fabolous feat. Jagged Edge - Make Me Better (Remix) (full) - listen
Another “Make Me Better” remix - to the same beat of the other remix with Lil’ Mo. Personally, I’m not feeling this one. But you know in Atlanta, they’re playing this. Jagged Edge is on there way back with another album, Baby-Makin’ Project, which, I suppose is highly anticipated from Jagged Edge fans. I don’t know, this remix just sounds a little awkward. I guess now DJ’s have gotta make a choice between remixes and which one’s going to be played.
Mario - Ghetto Love (full) - listen
I had the oppurtunity to see Mario perform live over the weekend. I mean, he is cool, he did mostly snippets of his new material. But this was one song that he didn’t perform. I actually really love the production on this song, not so much the subject matter or Mario’s voice. I like Mario, and I think that his album will do well. I just am waiting for an official release date. At the concert, his promo material simply said, Go! “Coming soon.”
Keyshia Cole feat. Missy Elliott, T.I. & Young Dro - Let It Go (Remix) (full) - listen
Already, I’m a fan of this song because I really just think Keyshia came back really hard with this single. When “Let It Go” comes on in the club, I just go off. So, adding the King of the South on it, who is completely on top of his game right now as far as his career goes, wasn’t a bad look. I’m assuming that Young Dro has some new stuff coming out too, then. Either way, I am eager to hear what else Keyshia’s got in store for this new album, Just Like You, which drops tentatively on September 18th.

the 50 + robin hit is on point. im a sucker for some robin thicke, despite the criticism he got from the BET awards.
the mario is pretty good.
&& i’ve already heard the keyshia remix on the radio. i can digg it. except they took out the missy part. ahh i bust out && preform with her in my car everytime, i love it. lol but oh well, love both versions nonetheless
one thing i hate is supload. damn, i cant download these..

I’m loving the Mario song, that’s how an R&B song should sound like. I must say I’ve never really paid him that much attention, but it seems Go is gonna be a great album.
The 50 Cent song is not too bad. It sounds very different from his other stuff he has done in the past.
I like Fabo, he’s amongst my favourite rappers. I like the way they changed this up from the original, although that sample has been exhausted. Jagged Edge did a good job with the hook.

Brian, do you proof read your reviews man? I also agree with # 3, “respectively” is a wrong word to use in that sentence. Dont be mad Brian, it’s just constructive critism.

mario - ::sigh::
i do like the beat and the vocals.
but Why does it have to be “ghetto” love. black people, can we find other words to use to describe our culture?! I didnt find that situation to be ghetto, just normal. how about “confusing” love?
50 - i almost threw up when i heard you talk, but Robin saved me.
thanks

50 & Robin- Its alright but 50 cent got one more time to laugh on his songs before I “self destruct”
Keyshia - T.I was the best part of that remix cause Dro did absolutely nothin for me and of course I love Keyshia
Mario- Please stop the slow songs!
Fab & J.E - I love it and Jagged Edge needs to get back in the spotlight cause Pretty Ricky is getting annoying

The songs are aight, i prefer the original Keyshia joint, but it wasn’t bad. A song yall should check out is the new Gemini, Lupe Fiasco joint called We On. Found it recently on Youtube, I ain’t from the Chi, but it been out for a little there.
Link here:

Robin Thicke saved the 50 track. Without Robin It would have sounded like the rest of his other tracks.
Fabolous remix is aiight.
could someone give me a definition of what a damn “ghetto love” is? what makes this so called “ghetto love” different from a black woman/man loving her man/womam?. Be that as it may, i like the song.
I’m feeling “Let it go” remix, especially the “Juicy Fruit” beat.

Mario was a shocker, had to admit I was sleep. That’s a good, curl up in the winter, with your main squeeze type track.
50 & Robin could’ve been better, like how does the producer hear that song and not hear what the potential to go back and re-lay Robins tracks? Another point off 50…
Keisha- I like it, I would bump it.

i gave the 50 cent song 5-10 seconds,damn i want them back.its a mess even with the man,Robin Thicke on it…i cant believe he actually wasted time recording this with 50.
the fab remix,im not feeling.maybe i would’ve if they would’ve let him do new verses… i dont think any remix can compare to the original song though,him and Ne-Yo sound good together.
that mario song is HOT!his album should be a hit because almost every song i’ve heard has been good…
im so tired of this keyshia cole song,lawwwwd and i used to love it.damn the radio!

what’s up with all this ghetto love in R&B? I’m tired of street love , ghetto love, hood love etc… why can’t it just be love? It’s like all these R&B people can’t be themselves. Everyone is from the hood. Guys this is not rap music

50 cent is so wack….I have to laugh at his azz….there was a time when he was alright but lately he’s horrible….he’s getting alot of people such as JT and robin thicke on his album because they are hott right now. When he raps on a solo track without singers…he’s generally wack…50 your tired and it’s time to put the mic down.

50 Cent wit Robin Thicke- This song is ok, but I only listen to it because Robin Thicke is on there. I suppose that was 50 cents plan.
Fab- I like this remix better than the Lil’Mo one, but that’s not saying much since I didn’t really care for that one either. I’m tired of people using “In between the sheets”. Seriously, get a new sample or make up a completely new beat!!
Mario.- The song was good I like it. His album seems like it’s going to be FIRE!!!!
Keyshia Cole- I like this remix, but I was kinda missing Missy and Lil Kim on the track.

keyshia cole first single is a major flop. her record lable is going crazy which is why they’re pushing a remix out. Her album will sure to flop just like the first album did.

luvin da mario song, it stays on constant repeat.i didn’t even want to listen 2 da other songz. i’m not a fan of keisha and 50 needs to stop, i like fab but i like the orignal song better. i truely feel dat people over look mario but he is wut the r&b game is missing. all of his cd’z are good he juz keep gettin better and better and i know that his next cd whenever it finally comes out is gonna be of the chain. the songs that i have heard so far is good so the rest of the cd has 2 be good!

I love “Follow My Lead” it is very nice and Robin can sing to me all day! lol Like the vid too!
Make Me Better remix with J.E. has just about the same style lyric-wise as the one with Lil Mo. But I know why they’re using the Biggie beat–Fab is holding a remix competition to see who can make the best remix over the “Big Poppa” beat. I think anyone can enter and the final decision will be decided on his website. The prize is unknown right now tho.
Mario’s track is cute!! I like it! He has an awesome voice. He can serenade me with that voice anytime!
Loving Keyshia Cole’s joint!!!! You better get it girl! I’m glad she came back VERY strong! Good decision on who to throw on the remix. T.I.= fiyah!

Kinda sounds like J.E. then it doesn’t. Hey, that may be their new sound since they have new tracks out! Sandra Rose has a few snippets of their new album. Have a listen and compare the vocals. I haven’t listened yet, but I’m fixing to go check it out!
