Usher – Touch (snippet) – listen
If this is what we’ve been waiting for, then I have to be honest, I’m very disappointed. “Touch” is not anything that we haven’t heard before. It’s been 3 years since Usher’s last great album, Confessions and I’m just hoping that everything is going to pan out, because I will be highly disappointed if this new material isn’t greater than or equal to what he gave us on that last album. Maybe this is just a tease. I’m hoping that’s the case.
Jay-Z feat. Pharrell Williams – Blue Magic (full) – listen
Just because I got hit up so much about not being able to cop their own copy of “Blue Magic,” this one is for you. I actually really, really like this song and can’t stop listening to it around the house. If you didn’t get a chance to read about Jigga’s new album, American Gangster, which is due out November 6, make sure you check out the post to learn more.
theDream – Falsetto (full) – listen
Suddenly Dream’s single, “Shawdy Is A 10″ is catching on like wildfire, it’s been everywhere. So it’s no surprise that my e-mail inbox got lit up with this song. Honestly, I like this new song, “Falsetto” a lot more than I liked “Shawdy Is A 10.” I’m not sure what it is that I like about the song, because it’s not Dream’s singing that I like. It’s just a nice slow-jam. I really hope that they go for this for the second single. Check out more on Dream on his MySpace.
Letoya Luckett feat. Jazze Pha – Keep It So Real (full) – listen
Not really sure how “new” this is, because I remember seeing this title somewhere. But what I don’t remember is ever hearing the song. I had a couple of e-mails about this song in my box this morning, so I decided to post it up. It sounds pretty old though. I went straight to the source, letoyaonline.com, to see if there was any info on the site, but nothing on the main page said anything about the song, however there was information about a new album in the works for February 2008!
o wow..interesting!
come on usher ….. pull it together im rooting for you……
Hated it!
yeah im third. I like the dreams song. + he is so sexy
altho usher’s isnt that bad… but i can’t hear it as a single…
ummmm like whateva
Woooah Usher. Wtf is this? It’s decent, but it probably won`t go too far.
Jay, that’s hot tho.
theDream is hawt too. I likes it.
LL, girl wth? This shoulda stayed bootleg, like you. You shoulda left yourself as a 1 hit wonder w/”Torn”. Now that was knockin`
YES! I’m in tha top 10!!
The Usher song is used for his promos for his perfume and frangrances- I dont like the song however.
I didn’t like any of those songs!!
THE LETOYA SONG IS LEFTOVER FROM HER DEBUT ALBUM….ITS NEW, BUT NOT REALLY…IF YOU GET WHAT I’M SAYIN, LOL.
New album will feature production by Neffu, Babyface, Dr. Dre, Darkchild, Pharrell Williams, Raphael Saadiq, and Dream/Tricky Stewart…among many more producers. Letoya coming for that ass….LOL! Buzz single “Swagger” (featuring Slim Thug, UGK) will come out VERY SOON, according to LetoyaOnline.
Letoya and her manager were online answering questions the other night.
I can’t wait…I love this girl!
#7 i thought letoya went platinum? Unlike kelly who needs 2 take a number and have a seat
That song was used on his fragrance video that he recently put out. I doubt its going to be used as a come back single, usher has way too much industry knowledge to come with that after three years. Don’t get carried away people, its just a false alarm!
@ #12….Letoya is certified Platinum, but she sold like 650k-700k. Which is pretty good for her one major hit.
Meanwhile, Kelly is falling out of the Top 200, LOL….I heard they are re-releasing her album though…she she may do well with “Ms. Kelly”….we’ll see. But she disappointed a lot of her fans (me included).
Usher song = junk
Jayz song = barrel of shit
Usher sit your ass down. The highlight of this year and next for you was your marriage to gthe goat and the birth of your new child. Nothing else will jump off…your time is up…just my opinion…it was luck and your exploitation of your infidelity which netted your the attention you got on that cd….don’t expect that shit to repeat….it is so done.
Jayz, please sit your rusty, dusty, crusty ass down. One minute you’re retired, the next your making a whole new barrel of bullshit….your failure to go away when you were still on top is your downfall. There are jayz stans and they will keep you afloat a little while longer, but people are growing tired of yours lies and your mediocre music. You are a bit ole crock of exaggeration and hype…best rapper alive…sure, if we were all dead.
The “Touch” snippet is from Usher Fragrance Ad its not on the cd..
Oh yeah, and the letoya luckett song is smooth….i like it.
Thanx Brian 4 puttin up The Dream Falsetto. This is probably my favourite slowjam of da year!
Why do I think Usher’s picture is kinda nice lookin. I have never thought that Usher looked like anything more than a suited up Treasure Troll.
Oh My I hope Usher come harder than this crap. I was listening to 8701 da other day. Lol at Jscene u be going hard on my boy.
OMG jay’s is so whack i can’t even listen to it for more than 30secs.
how can you make the tracks on the black album and think this is good. PLEASE GO BACK TO RETIREMENT. you were missed a lil bit but if this is all you have then………………………………………
others, no comment
I think that Usher snippet is from Ushers Fragrance fo real. But for some reason I like it more than that falsetto song whcih to me gets exremely annoying and whats with the ella ella ella at the end…..ok we get it already….we know u produced umbrella
@ #15….A new Barrel of Shit!!!!!
ha haaahh ah…ROTFL!
Lol DDS! How da man? Treasure troll, now dat u mention it i c da resemblence
I sorta like that Usher joint. He used it in new ad that I can’t take seriously but I like the joint.
I like the song its smooth and techno. I m going to buy his perfume.
That usher song is from his new fragrance line not actually a song.
ok every song was wack…like i said for jay it sounds like any other jay z song
usher is obviously bugging putting out garbage like that
usher….the song is good but it was used for his fragance commercial
jay z…..not even in a million yrs will i buy that cd..sit your animalistic ass somewhere
letoya…i`m totally feeling that song…it sounds more like jermaine dupri produced it..lol..kelly rowland needs some lessons from you and letoya baby..i`m buying the album
I was not feelin any of those songs especially the falsetto 1 cosign with #22 that song
is so annoying sounds like a horrible man version of umbrella!
What is with all the Jay-Z hate? I mean I’m not feeling his return to gangsta land but dayum this dude could do no wrong and now folks are comin’ at him. #15 you act like he and Usher stole something – or someone – from you. Is it that serious?
The LeToya song as stated is old, but it’s new because we’ve never heard it until now. As for the person saying that she was a 1 hit wonder, CTSO. LeToya had “Torn” which was huge, and then she had “She Don’t” which she never really got a big chance to promote on radio and stuff because her Label Capitol merged with Virgin (I believe). That is also why LeToya wasn’t able to release another single, but her Album did very well (for a 1 Hit wonder), so well that she has Album #2 coming at the top of 2008. Miserable people, get ready to do what you do best because LeToya has stepped it up big time and she’s ready to TKO you all (The ones who like to talk sh*t that is) with this new Album!
“Get Your Swagger Up”
LMMFBAO@@@@@ Get ME Bodied!
Jigga Joint is HOT!
Yo that Usher song is not the business, it sounds like something Justin Timberlake would do.
The Jay song is cool, takes you back a little bit.
WHAT DOES JAY-Z REALLY KNOW ABOUT COOKING UP CRACK FOR MONEY? HE HAS BEEN A MILLIONAIRE FOR YEARS NOW….AND HE DIDN’T DO IT BY SELLING DRUGS….QUIT GIVING THESE DRUG DEALERS A FALSE SINCE OF SECURITY.
That dream joint better than I thought
*Adds To Ipod*
Jay- Z’s song is pure garbage! New Yorkers ain’t even feeling it!
Hahaha… Usher does look a bit treasure troll-ish with a hint of Curious George on the side, but whatever the case that song sux!
Not really feeling the Jay Z joint either…
I kinda like theDream’s song. It’s a nice lil slow burner and me likey the slow songs, lol! I do, however, have to admit that I’m getting a bit tired of songs with shawdy and eh, eh, eh, in them! SMH @ the lack of originality these days…
I Agree, the LeToya song does sound a bit dated…
@38…SPEAK FOR YOURSELF
I’M FEELIN THE JAY JOINT!!
LETOYA’S MY GIRL , I CANT WAIT 2 HEAR NEW SONGS FROM HER
I’m a Pharrell follower…but Blue Magic is such a DISAPPOINTMENT FROM HIM. Biting En Vogue lyrics and Slick Rick/Doug E. Fresh drum patterns…..has Pharrell been lacking creativity lately????????????????
it’s hard for me to accept that Pharrell produced this song….and then had the nerve to sing on it….
Boooooooooooooo. They are going to ruin the anticipation for the movie with this mess. I was sort excited about the movie..but after hearing this….Denzel needs to tell Jigga to release the cd AFTER the movie hits the box office
I don’t know what Usher’s on but this is crap.
For Jay and Pharrell, I don’t know there’s something missing. There’s no Umph.
for theDream- I could listen to this on my way to sleep cause I’m feeling the sounds not the lyrics.
Latoya, I dig.
Why can’t Jigga except the fact that HE HASN’T PUT OUT ANY HOTSHIT SINCE BLUEPRINT, BLUEPRINT 2, AND THE BLACK ALBUM?????? Kingdom Come was somewhat garbage..this song is pure garbage….and you know what…I’m a strong Jay-Z fan. Jay, if your people are reading this, please realize that your entire fanbase expects nothing but the best from you. Otherwise, you need to go back into retirement and stay there. Keep securing those powerhouse deals.
His verse on Rihanna’s “umbrella” is the best Ive heard from Jigga since 2005. And that is so sad.
His mentee, Kanye West, will continue to outsell Jigga because he has been lyrically better since Late Registration.
whoops…I meant to type “accept” instead of except
@31
I didn’t like the songs or these negros games they play, and so i stated that. If you don’t like what i said, and if you think jayz could do no wrong then oh well….you asked is it that serious, well it was just my opinion, one of many on this post, but if you took it that seriously, then once again oh well. Cause i think it only has power when people take it a certain way….please read it and move on.
Is it that serious that you should respond to me cause you love the crack jayz shits out of. Give me a break…don’t try to make a big deal out of what i said cause you love that ugly ass negro.
Jay-z’s song is HOT! don’t be mad at jay cause he is doing is thing, i love the haters on hear that talk all big and bad when the leave a comment and the cant even spell two words in a row right. LOOSER!
this track is crazy! usher gona smash it again!
Jay-z’s lips are too big. im affraid of what his kids are gonna look like! ew!
Jay-z’s lips are too big. im affraid of what his kids are gonna look like! ew!
Damn Jigga, I love you. BUT you need to sit your old ass down and let your lil brother Kanye do his thing. Ol lying ass bastud’ been saying he was going to retire how many times now. Get outta here.
Bvarney, “LOOSER”, is spelled L-O-S-E-R. Everyone is entitled to an opinion here. You obviously ain’t from the East Coast..where the real lyricists are at.
@49…you mean his “little BIG brother”…lol. Who has really been BIGGER during the past two years….Kanye has
I GOTTA HAND IT TO JAY-Z.ANYTHING HE MAKES FOOLS WILL BUY IT,REGUARDLESS.
JAY’S SONG IS FIRE – CAN’T EXPECT ANYONE YOUNG TO UNDERSTAND WHY EVERYONE’S LOVING IT. YOUNGIN’S VOTING ON THE MUSIC IS THE REASON WHY HIP HOP’S BEEN DEAD AND THERE’S BEEN SO MANY ONE HIT WONDERS.
BACK TO THE REAL: BARBER SHOPS AND THE STREETS ARE RIDING’ WITH JAY RIGHT NOW FOR BRINGING BACK REAL HIP HOP. PEACE.
HOV’S THE G.O.A.T.
LETOYA LUCKETT makes me so proud. She’s the living proof that when you don’t give up on your dreams they do come true, NO MATTER WHO TRIES TO STOP YOU!!! I wish Kelly Rowland had that drive and wanted more for herself. Letoya went platinum in the US alone. Love this song, it’s an unreleased, not new but I love it, it could have been on the album easy. She’s working with Babyface, Raphael Saadiq and Dr Dre on her new album, so y’all know this is gonna be fire.
USHER’s snippet ain’t cutting it. But snippets are tricky, because sometimes you hate snippets but like the whole song. So I need to hear more to judge the song.
@ JSCENE “best rapper alive, sure…….if we were all dead” ROFLMAO!!!!! YOU ARE KILLING ME!!!!!!! LMAOOO….
jay might be trying to pull another REASONABLE DOUBT out on us.i like it but i have to hear more from him first to decide
WHAT’S ALL THE JAY HATE?
ANYONE THAT THINKS KANYE’S A BETTER LYRACIST DOESN’T KNOW HIP HOP AND WOULD GET SKOOLED SITTING AT ANY ROUNDTABLE SAYING JAY IS WHACK.
HE DIDN’T EVEN TRY TO SPIT ON “UMBRELLA” – CHECK HIS LYRICS FROM OTHER JOINTS.
KANYE AIN’T EVEN CONSIDERED A “RAPPER”. KANYE WILL TELL YOU HIMSELF JAY KILLS HIM ON ANY RHYME THEY SHARE AND HE’S NO WHERE NEAR JAY LYRICALLY.
ARE YOU PEOPLE SERIOUS? PLEASE GO TO SKOOL BEFORE YOU POST SUCH FOOLISH COMMENTS BECAUSE YOU CAN’T STEP UP FROM 2000 SAYING “JAY IS WHACK” – JAY IS THE LYRACISTS FOR THE LYRACISTS. HE’S YOUR FAVORITE RAPPERS’ GHOSTWRITER – LMAO.
THIS SHITS HYSTERICAL.
Blue Magic is hot. It’s clever. It has the Reasonable Doubt Jay feel without taking it back there completely. Rhyming about certain things without putting himself in a postion where he’s in opposition whis his corporate counter-parts. Jay isn’t in the same space that he was in 10 years ago. So he can’t continue to be that same Emcee. It’s called evolving. Clever.
@56
I FEEL YOU, AND I WOULD HAVE SAID THE SAME THING YEARSSSSSSSS AGO….BUT NOW, NO ‘M SORRY, I THINK JAYZ IS LAME NOW. HE DOESN’T SEEM TO EVEN PUT ALOT INTO HIS RAPS, HE RELIES ON A NICE BEAT, AND HIS NAME, AND THAT’S IT’S.
I THINK JAYZ’S IS RESTING ON THE NAME HE HAS BUILT, AND THE REP HE HAS BUILT, BUT IF YOU HONESTLY LISTEN TO HIS NEW MUSIC, IT’S A BUNCH OF BULLSHIT…I’M SORRY, BUT I CALL IT LIKE I SEE IT. IF HE WERE STILL THE SHIT, THEN I WOULD HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM SAYING THAT. BUT I THINK PEOPLE ARE JUST IN AWE OF HIM, AND HE’S BANKING ON THAT TO SELL RECORDS….COME ON NOW, HE’S NOT EVEN COMING WITH IT…AND AS FAR AS HIM HAVING A FLOW…BULLSHIT! LOL…HIS FLOW IS WHACK AS HELL, HE PAUSES ALOT, AND IT SOUNDS AS IF HE HAS A PROBLEM KEEPING HIS BREATH.
ALOT OF PEOPLE DON’T EVEN KNOW THAT KANYE DID A LOT OF BEATS FOR JAYZ, AND TO THIS DAY , PROBABLY THINK JAYZ CAME UP WITH IT. JAYZ IS A HARD WORKER, BUT I SERIOUSLY THINK JAYZ IS THREATENED BY YE, YE DON’T HAVE THE BEST FLOW, BUT I THINK JAY KNOWS YE IS MORE CREATIVE THAN HE IS….SOME OF JAYS NEW STUFF HAS NICE BEATS BUT ABSOLUTELY NO IDENTIFIABLE MESSAGE….OPPOSED TO YE HAVING A NICE BEAT WITH A MESSAGE WE CAN RELATE TO…THAT SPELLS A HIT…BOTTOM LINE, JAY IS NOT ALL HE’S CRACKED UP TO BE AND HE KNOWS IT. BUT HE’S HOPING PEOPLE WILL GO SIMPLY BASED ON HIS NAME AND HIS REP, BUT THE FACT IS, YO BOY IS SLIPPIN…THIS NEGRO IS NOT UP TO PAR.
AND AS FOR THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE…WHO GAVE HIM THAT TITLE? WHO? HE DID PEOPLE! AND PEOPLE BOUGHT INTO IT…I GUESS IF YOU SAY SOMETHING SO MANY TIMES ON A TRACK, PEOPLE ACTUALLY BELIEVE THE HYPE, AND HYPE IS WHAT IS IT.
I GIVE JAYZ HIS PROPS…BLUEPRINT IS A CLASSIC…..BUT ONCE HE GOT A TASTE OF CROSSOVER AND MAINSTREAM, HE STARTED GOING DOWN…I THINK YOU CAN BE MAINSTREAM AND STAY TRUE TO YOUR TYPE OF MUSIC, YOU DON’T HAVE TO TURN AROUND AND KICK YOUR OLD FANS IN THE HEAD….AND THIS IS NOT HATE, IT’S JUST REAL TALK….I’M SORRY I’M NOT FEELING HIM ANYMORE. I WISH I WAS, BUT HE NEEDS TO SIT HIS RUSTY ASS DOWN.
I’M NOT SAYING ANYONE ELSE SHOULDN’T LIKE HIM…BUT I JUST THINK HE’S SELLING WOLF TICKETS. I SIMPLY DON’T BUY IT. HE SHOULD HAVE STAYED RETIRED WHILE PEOPLE WERE STILL HIGH OFF HIS NONSENSE. THE HIGH IS WEARING OFF, AND THE TRUTH IS COMING OUT.
BUT IF YOU LIKE WHAT JAYZ IS PUTTING OUT, MORE POWER TO YOU.
And i’m sure i can hear Rakim telling Jayz to get off his nuts.
