who is faith evans? i like that song tho

Love the Jay-z

Free is so old-school. Faith is RnB Royalty.

LOL@ who is Faith Evans.
She was out in the 90’s..she was married to Biggie…

But yeah, the Jay-Z is hot..

I’m really feelin Free’s song with faith! Go Free! I was waiting for another single. Can’t wait for the video!

i like the faith/free joint!

I LOVE that FREE AND FAITH song! But i do agree it it dated. Hopefully she will come out with something for tha clubs, and this track would be a ALBUM track instead of a SINGLE

I adore Free but I have to listen to it again.
I like Jigga period…..

Damn, i’m also lovin that Free feat Faith Song!!! It’s a good comeback for faith because she’s been gone for a minute, and it reintroduces Free back into the Music Scence after the wait remix….but you’ll know MS.Renegade who never post is going to come in here talkin her mess about Free but then call her pretty…lol.

The Dream makes good music to me, and he’s been doing the Eh all his career with the writing so it’s not something that will be dated…and I don’t get you sometimes Brian…i think the Free & Faith song has alot of potential especially for urban/r&b radio and it actually has a meaning…we face dilemma’s all the time in life, and we want to be with someone but we’re not sure…as soon as someone has a song with a meaning, you don’t like it but yet your always saying that these other songs have no meaning…PLEASE GET IT TOGETHER ASAP…i still love you, and your reviews!!! Jay-Z has me really wanting this next album…CHingy…FLY AWAY ALREADY

I am feeling the Free and Faith Evans song and also that Chingy and Amerie.

She sounds so good when she is singing in her range. lol

Hey How freakin come amerie can’t come out vibin like this on her shit because her vocals sound pretty hot on this track.

^^^

I concur. Amerie is dope she just needs to cut it out with that experimental shyt she likes trying and start bumping the soft melodic jamz her voice was made for. “Why don’t We fall in love” and “1 thing” are my fav Amerie jamz.

All she needs is some solid R&B production, preferably some of that RYAN LESLIE magic and she’d be something special.

LOL @ #1

enough with Jigga and Beyonce….I want the Camel and the Camel Whisper to go away for awhile…go sale some prom dresses

im diggin all the songs and like everyone else..LMMFAO at # 1

The Chingy and Amerie is hott! Amerie has that type of voice that u really miss and appreciate after a period of time.. and on good songs…

The Free and Faith is pretty good.. Man I LOVE Faith Evans I have all of her albums.. I can’t believe ppl ask who she is.. That’s like askin who Mary J. is.. Even tho I think Mary has a larger following.. and Mary just became REALLY mainstream with her last album..

Free’s joint is raw, I don’t know about dated >:|

About time Free put something out sounds good. Jay I’m a stan anything he put out is all good to me.

I’m feelin that Free and Faith song…for the record Free didn’t dissapear after 106…she had a radio show in LA for a littlw while…although she isn’t doing as well as AJ who works on EXTRA…speaking of that did yall peep how AJ sounds like a white man on that show?

LMAO @ #1

FREE’S SONG IS NICE, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THE EARLY 2000′S OR EVEN 98 & 99. AS MUCH AS I LIKE FREE, I DON’T SEE HER SELLING ALBUMS AND DOING VIDEOS…AND FAITH, WELL HER CAREER IS PRETTY MUCH OVER..

I like The Dream, but after a while that “eh” will get old. I am also lovin that song by Free and Fath Evans.

Oh man i can’t listen to this at work but I loved 30 Something from Jay-Z last cd So I can only imagine what it sounds like with 3000 on it. I already know i’m gonna love it.

I heard Free was going to be the PA for the Boston Celtics home games this season.

#1 where u been at! U don’t know Faith Evans, a real singer! Get it together boo!!!!

LOL @ #1 WOW!!! Please tell me you between the ages of 10-12

Free - Not a bad song at all. Don’t know if this the hit to pop off the album though.

Jay Z - I love me some Andre 3000. I’ve always loved the beat to this song.
Ohh how I miss Greg Street! LOL

The Chingy and Dream song won’t play for me. So, I guess I must not have been missing much! lol

Amerie is great! She worked that hook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Y’all crazy as hell if y’all can’t feel that Free/Faith joint. That piece is sick!!!!

Free’s song remind me of Eve’s Love is Blind and I guess its from Faith Evans being on there,idk. I think its too late for her to come out with an ablum.

I’m feeling Chingy and Amerie song.

ima check all these joints out..im not to hard on anyone…love faith evans..and that the dream shit is hot…sounds so late 80s!

really like Free’s song - I guess it’s something for us “30 somethings,” cuz I definitely appreciate the lyrical content, not to mention Faith on the hook. I love Faith!

Note to Brian - be careful postin, cuz Britney’s label is going after PerezHilton.com for making Britney’s music available for download from his site. Wouldn’t want to see that happen to the CL…

[...] take on “30 Something.” But if you can’t wait that long, Concreteloop.com just posted a version of the track for your downloading pleasure. No [...]

free’s song seems a little dated but it is good

Thanks, but the Chingy and Amerie song SUCKS!!!!!

Amerie sounds like shit on that song and Chingy can’t rap for shit.

She sounds better doing songs like “1 Thing” “Gotta Work” and “Hate2LoveU” not that Kelly Rowland type bullsh!t. People who say she’s singing in her range on that song obviously aren’t familiar with her music and aren’t familiar with good music in general.

Brian is a dumb shit for saying those singles she put out were lackluster…and aren’t you a fan of Chris Brown? If her singles are “lackluster” then his are straight ASS.

dat dream tune is shit

Free- Can’t sing or rap for shit

The Dream-Stick to writing ‘ellas and ‘eys

Jay-Z-This song is old as hell and the original sucked liked the album. Andre made this song listenable

Pleeeeeease. Amerie’s music is anything BUT lackluster. Different? Yes. Experimental? Yes. Good? Hell yeah!

Faith is bad, always will love her voice.Wish the luck with Free.

Jay-Z’s song is tight. I agree with you - Kingdom Come was tight, but when you let the youngin’s control the music, that’s what happens. Adults need to take back control and only play what they want. If they want those 1 hit wonders, let them download it or get it however, but it shouldn’t be on radio rotations - HEAVY. Can’t wait for AG - everything’s been tight on that so far too.

And I agree Amerie’s music is different on a R&B level I think that’s is why many feel like it’s not good music.

Amerie should stick to singing hooks!!!

Amerie’s music isn’t strictly R&B, though. It’s a mixture of a lot of things, but it’s mostly pop with some R&B. I can do a lot of things with her voice and still sound good.

I guess, though…that would explain why she isn’t very popular on this site, though.

maybe im crazy but i love that dream joint. i like it better than shawty is a 10. sounds like daft punk meets street. hawt biscuits!

Im sorry to say buy my boo Chingys song is not hot.

And as much as I love Amerie, her voice is terrible on that track. I can’t wait for her album though, it stays on repeat.

Free’s song sounds nice, I think that the lyrics in the song are very deep

The Chingy song sounds cool and they did a good job with putting Amerie on the song, she makes it better

I dont know how dream and his rihanna stealin,no talent havin,big ass got a record deal, I know he had to give some head to get a record deal

The Jay-Z remix is cool, even though I never really liked that, think GOD that Ice Cube and them did the remix

Love the 30 something remix. The lyrics were on point and I already loved the original sand with Andre on it you can never go wrong.

I like the Free one too, it does sound a little old school but still I like it, it’s still good music.

Now I know the Dream’s been using ‘eh’ since forever but he has to drop it soon, its starting to annoy me. The record sounds all digitalized and all, its very whateverish to me. I guess it’s radio appealish, I personally don’t care too much for the track.

Chingy is so lyrically whack to me but Amerie sounds beautiful on the track, love her. I’d listen to the track just for her kinda like the Pulling Me Back which I only listened to for Tyrese.

#47

Whaaaa? “Rihanna stealing?”

He wrote “Umbrella”

I love Amerie. I think she is one of the most underrated artists of today! Yes she experiments, yes alot of her stuff is quite different but Ameries last album Touch is somethin i can play front to back.People are too quick to turn down different types of music but if you give some of her stuff a chance you will probably end up liking it. I dont too much care for Chingy or his voice..Im pretty sure that this song will have to grow on me but dont underestimate Ameries talent. Shes a great writer, performer and shes different from all of the other r&b artists. We need different shit cause most of the new music is straight garbage and is getting ridiculous with everyone jamming to soulja boy and ay bay bay. Where has the real music gone?

I never thought I would say this but all this music is garbage.

lol that remix is like so late, it take that long to make it??

http://hiphopes.wordpress.com/

Dedicated to The Dream
What I do undrstand is how can you write umbrella but make garbage as this.

He is on the same level as Hurricane Chris and Mims and Young Joc and Gucci Mane.

I listened to the Amerie and Chingy song to give them another chance. I honesty don’t see what ppl see in hr music potential. The Only song like by her is “One Thing” I’d rather listen to Rihanna sing then Amerie.

free feat faith: next!!!!!!!!!! still love faith evans voice

chingy feat amerie: weak. amerie always sound strained when she tries sing out of range. limited vocal ability.

jay-z : hot, feelin the remix

#54

Rihanna over Amerie…ain’t you the dumbest person on the planet!

Rihanna makes Amerie sound like Etta James

Hell! Rihanna makes Cassie sound like Mariah Carey

Amerie…1 Grammy Nomination for Best Female Solo R&B Vocal Performance For “1 Thing”

Rihanna…0 Grammy Nominations For Best Female R&B Vocal Performance

Ciara…0 Grammy Nominations for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance

Cassie…0 Grammy Nominations for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance

Point is, your favorite singer isn’t as good of a vocalist as you think she is.

@ number 1 ….. -_- LMAO…I don’t even know whether to take that serious or not

AMERIE SUCKS SOUR BALLS
I miss Faith but I don’t think she is gonna get together and do anything original
Music is crap these days it’ll get better though

Please tell me how Amerie sounds “strained” in that song? She’s hardly even using her voice.

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!!
