Free feat. Faith Evans – Dilemma (full) – listen
Remember when people were really excited about Free having a music career? And it sort of just seemed like after 106 & Park, Free just disappeared. The thing is, I think that she is talented, but I don’t know if it’s too late for her. Not only that, but I think the song is a little dated. Faith’s voice sounds beautiful, though. I’ve always loved Faith’s voice, and I think she just adds a raw soul to whatever she gets on. If this is how Free is coming out, I think she needs to hit the drawing board again, ’cause this isn’t a good look for now.
Chingy feat. Amerie – Fly Like Me (full) – listen
Chingy’s new single. Although I’m not a huge fan of Chingy, I can definitely see the appeal on the song. What I want to comment on is the fact that Amerie is on the hook. She sounds good on the song, and I don’t see why her label didn’t take this direction with her in the first place, in order to get some buzz about her. Because with the lackluster singles she put out, you would think that they would throw her on some hooks so that people can remember her and let them get used to her voice again. I can definitely see myself listening to this song in the car, though. It just sounds like a fun songs, the production’s tight.
The Dream – Ditch That (full) – listen
Hmmmm. The Dream’s material is slowly leaking, and of course, “Shawty Is A 10″ is definitely always a fun song in the club, I was digging “Falsetto,” but I don’t know about “Ditch That.” I think it’s something different from his other material, but I don’t know – it’s a little awkward. I feel like I need to listen to it a couple more times. One thing is for sure, Dream needs to keep that “eh” under control! I don’t want it to get old – and I feel like it’s well on it’s way to get their before the album even drops.
Jay-Z feat. Ice Cube & Andre 3000 – 30 Something (Remix) (full) – listen
This is one of those songs that I really liked from Jay-Z’s Kingdom Come. I really thought there would be more singles from that since that album was in such heavy rotation from everyone. However, this new remix is out, which is strange because now Jay-Z’s about to release this new album, American Gangster. Seems like they’re just a couple months late! But of course, I love the additions from Ice Cube and Andre 3000.
number 15 shut yo bitch ass up. why did u even bother to commetn? U seem dumb as hell.
Anyway Jay remix is fire! He is really trying to come back hard. Both him and Beyonce are the shit.
Oh and I love the free and faith song too.
Boo to everybody else.
*comment*
Not a fan of Chingy, at all, but that song is super catchy. Good choice for a first single, and Amerie sounds hot. Some of you guys need to stop hating. The girl is mad talented.
I guess that was a personal thing Brian has with Free but that joint is hot. She doesn’t need to be like everyone else ,…especially nowdays…to make a hit. I guess the world got you fooled too, huh Brian?
Anyway,…shits fiyah.
Point Blank
lol 30 something more like 40 something!
like free and faith. #1 has to be really young not to know faith evans.
all of chingys songs sound the damn same, the song with amerie is nothing special and i dont think shes that much better a singer than rihanna.
im not a rihanna stan but rihanna unlike amerie actually sings live. amerie should try not lipsynching.
the song is not as impressive as i thought it would be, its very blah
the rest is also blah blah blah
What is the Dream’z obsession with”Ella ella ay ay ay”?
LOL @ who is Faith Evans
I guess she was born yesterday…
so far i enjoy the new chingy and and jay z eventhought it is late but hey thats hip hop
that amerie and chingy song is fire.
this is the first time actually brian has said something nice about A.
i hope Amerie releases her new album here soon!
Just wondering if it’s just me but my downloads of the last three music reviews have been really slow
^ MYNAMEIS..
are you crazy? amerie sings live.. and sings live very well.
rihanna is overrated. i like her songs but her voice ain’t nothing special.
AMERIE > RIHANNA > BEYONCE.
Are you kidding me?
Ri-hell-naw ain’t got shit on Beyonce. She just a little no talent wannabe with a penciled on tattoo.
Beyonce and Amerie murk Rihanna in the looks and vocal department.
I agree with Chilly.
Beyonce can sing better than Rihanna, but she’s boring, loud, and her songs are bad.
So yeah:
Amerie > Rihanna > Beyonce
But Amerie, Nelly Furtado, and Kelis are my favorites.
Like Jigga’s …maybe i’m being Bias because I loves me some Ice Cube.
Blah @ The dream
Eh (lol) ..not feelin Free and faith *shrugs*
LMFAO @ # 1…..DO YOU EVEN LIVE ON THIS EARTH???? I AM LOVING THE FREE AND FAITH JOINT……..TWO GREAT TALENT…..I’M AWAITING ALBUMS FROM BOTH OF THEM ESPECIALLY FREE…..I JUST LOVE FREE AND I THINK SHE CAN FLOW……….MUCH LOVE YALL!!!!
RNB GENIUS
%%%
Amerie to me makes the track with Chingy…then again other rappers could have carried the track by themselves…Free get’s it in…no questions asked, one of the best female rappers to come through in a long time…shea actually stands for something…since when did music become dated???? I don’t like the dream song, but falsetto is fire!
@ #67, Amerie does NOT lipsynch! Are you serious?! Rihanna sings like a freaking robot, she stays on one damn note on every song and she does not MOVE when she’s on stage.
Go Free!!! I will always love you! Where the hell has Faith been, she dropped in 2005 and I heard her since.
Hey, I like the Dream song. something different, but good at the same time. Kind of theatrical. Shit is hott!
nice free and faith song, free coulda probably used some better production
I cant WAIT until Faith decide to put out some music, nething. she only puts out albums every blue moon or when she aint havin babies! I can listen to her all day, her voice is so light and easy
What the F was Free talking about in that song??!!!!! That was wack! Faith sounds beautiful. Chingy and Amerie track sounds really good…very typical Chingy song. Jay-Z makes me sick….30 is the new 20….yea ok NIG what about 40 becaude thats what you knockin on…
Free you do you babygirl ,if you would have tried to do something to young people would of talked shit again so do you .I love this joint don’t follow the leader baby they fall hard and fast ..We love you FREE and I lOVe the new Joint!!!!
To answer your question about Amerie’s label’s marketing plan, one word: BEYONCE. I have it on good authority, that Matthew made it clear to the label that Bee pays the bills and should always get priority, whether she’s putting out a project or not.
ppl please stop hating on amerie when she wasn’t doin shit
ppl complained and now that she finally has something we can listen too again we should be pullin for her I mean so what if her style is different because i’m sick of the same ne-yo sounding melodies and i’m sick of the females making shitty albums starting with Rihanna non singingin ass who ran everybody out of the fox theatre in detroit i mean literally dude, then u have ms hova which had an awful album and only the people who understand having good hooks and concepts can understand that , then there is umm well at least keisha cole got her music together and we can relate,
alicia keys usually doesn’t bother u with her hits because she is safe which is good because as u can see its a lot of fickle ppl about music period especially tryin to reemerge to the scene . Amerie has always been a little different with her sound but she makes it work for her and believe me i rather hear her lip synch anyday than hear ms ri ri sing live baby!!!

I was really excited about Free as an artist esp. when she jumped on the Lil Mo “21 Answers” remix and that Ying Yang Twins “Whisper” remix, however she missed her boat yo by taking too fucking long!
Amerie killin that hook. A good look for her.
“Shawty is a 10″ was kinda hot but something about The Dream is a NIGHTMARE!
Not crazy about the Jay remix…
THE-DREAM ..ngwa ngwa ngwa ‘that ella ey is becoming ova-rated .dude needs to stick to being a ghost writer coz singing ..uuummmm..it aint cutting out for him his even using the lines from j.holiday’s bed track ,dude needs to admit his all out of ideas its ok just take time stop saying peoples careers are going to bomb when yours is on the line(ti-pi-kal) for a second i almost bought the “CHRIS brown” is going to be like mario shit
DREAM relax take time off (singing) and focus on writing
ILL BE BACK!!!..
Okay let’s tell the truth for the delusional Amerie stans and Rihanna stans. I don’t care much for Amerie, Rihanna, or Beyonce. But to put those other two girls in the same sentence as Beyonce is ludicrous! Most people, including me until recently, don’t even know who Amerie and Rihanna are. Beyonce has like what? 10 grammy’s and Amerie and Rihanna ain’t got not even 1 grammy and probably never will or the Grammy’s will lose all credibility. I’ve heard all 3 sing and both Amerie and Rihanna are horrible singers compared to Beyonce especially Rihanna. How that chick got a record deal is a million dollar question. It’s not even about who’s had the most success b/c we all know Beyonce has by a landslide but it’s about who is the most talented and that’s Beyonce by a million miles.
Facts: Beyonce>Amerie>Rihanna
Last time I checked Amerie and Rihanna haven’t had even half the success that Beyonce has had so ya’ll stans need to stop being so delusional.
Anyway I’m loving that Dream song but they need to chill w/ the eh eh eh’s. That Jay-Z remix is late but it’s hot as well.
^^^^ I agree 100 percent. Anyone who actually believes that Amerie or Rihanna have more talent than Beyonce need to kill themselves now for that shit. I seriously hope ya’ll weren’t serious.
Anywho the Free song is aight.
Chingy’s song is o.k.
Not feeling the Dream
The Jay-Z joint is hot but a little too late.
I really really like dat Free & Faith joint!! Faith has always been a great singer to me..luv her voice.
Amerie sounds GREAT on that chingy song!! Can’t wait for the video!! I hope she’ll look extra fly in it like always. Amerie is true talent!!
