THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW

Jay-Z feat. Trey Songz – Blue Magic (Remix) (full) – listen
I read somewhere that this was the official remix for “Blue Magic,” but I’m not sure. Either way, for those who aren’t aware, Jay-Z is releasing a new album, November 6th, titled American Gangster – it’s his take on the storyline of the new film, however, the two are not directly related. Trey Songz doesn’t really do anything for me on this track. Even though he was a rapper before he was singer, I think he needs to stick to the latter.

The Dream – She Needs My Love (full) – listen
After “Ditch That” (which I fell in love with after hearing it a few more times), I was a little skeptical of Dream’s material, but I am actually very interested in his project. So far, most of the songs that I’ve heard from Dream’s project, Lovehate, which is due out December 11, I have liked. They have a catchiness to them that just appeals to me. Even though sometimes the “ella-ella” and “eh-eh’s” can be a little overkill, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

Hurricane Chris – Playa’s Rock (full) – listen
From the young man who brought you “Aye Bay Bay,” here is “Playa’s Rock.” In all honesty, I have to say that this young man’s voice intrigues me. As much as I hate to admit it, and as much as I hate when his first single comes on in the club, I like his delivery, but I think that’s as far as my intrigue goes. I believe that “Playa’s Rock” will be Hurricane Chris’ third single.

Thunderkatz – I Know (full) – listen
You may remember a little while ago, we did an artist spotlight on the Thunderkatz and here’s a brand new tracks from the Inc.-signed band. I think it’s hilarious that I got a random shout out in the song. I just love their energy so much, from performance, and the production. I think these guys are a talented group of people. Anyone that can hold my attention during a live performance gets props from me. I wonder if they will be featured on Gotti’s reality show on VH1?

  3. sxcighanamamii

    arent the thunderkatz a production?
    or maybe i’m wrong?

  4. sxcighanamamii

    whooopssss…
    nvr mind.

  5. keishe

    I like the dream’s song. Niiiiice.

  6. tia

    trey songz was a rapper b4 he was a singer?

  7. Star

    Jay flopping hard next week!!

    just look at itunes and amazon.

    cant wait to see his face LMAO

  8. just saying

    Jay’s joint is banging.

    Hurricane Chris is garbage- couldn’t even finish listening to it. Aye Bay Bay is garbage too. Why do people call this music?!!

    Not feeling Thuderkatz either. Sounds like something I could have written.

    So disgusted that I cant even listen to The Dream.

    So, back to work I go!

  9. Allen_J

    Trey sound good on the so called remix only thing that just kinda messes him up is the way he comes across in general as too cocky no humbleness about him Too much rapper in him

    The Dream’s song sounds like a good pop crossover. I’m feeling the hell out of that beat thoughI wonder who produced it.

    #3 I consign he’s second single hasn’t really being taking off though but it’s good to see him keep putting out singles to support his album.

    Couldn’t really get into the thunderkat song

  10. Lihara

    To me I think Jay-Z is trying to do the whole Beyonce thing with his album..bc he is trying to say how he related to the film (the way Beyonce did with The Dreamgirls for BDAY) but I really dont think that approach is working for him bc he was not actually in the film prob work for T.I. bc he was in the movie..

  11. AG

    Can’t wait for Jay’s album AG. It’s total fire and was scored a 9/10 on Allhiphop. Interesting that all the journalists are saying the worst track on the album is “Hello Brooklyn” featuring Lil Wayne.

    It’s already being bootlegged which will cut into his sales – AS USUAL – but, he’s still going to sell like hotcakes because hip hop dying for real lyrics and god damn if Jay ain’t bringing it on AG.

    That’s whassup.

  12. Love the CL shoutout Brian! Crazy.

  13. Boi Stopp. This ain’t no damn official remix. Trey just added his own verse.

    Hurricaine Chris album sold 7 copies. What a flop. He had everybody saying Aye Bay Bay and sold no material. Just another example how the south are running the airwaves but not selling records. We’re stuck with nothing but one hit wonders.

  14. I’m commenting only because I’m a fan of ( Earth,Wind and Fire)-*I grew up on their music and the sample that (Hurricane Chris) used from the song-is classic!….I guess I have hinted around to how old I am-oh well!
    Getting ready to play my EWF cd………….LOL!

    Good music lives!

  15. IF YOU are 25+YEARS OLD YOU CAN RELATE -EWF’s Love’s Holdiay(sampled by Hurricane Chris)

    Would you mind if I touch,

    if I kiss, if I held you tight

    in the morning light

    Would you mind if I said how I felt tenderly tonight

    again cause

    I never ever felt this way in my heart before

    Love has a holiday in my heart tonight

    Would you mind if I looked

    into your eyes till I’m hypnotized

    and I lose my pride

    Would you mind if I make love to you till I’m satisfied

    again cause

    I never ever felt this way in my heart before

    Love has a holiday in my heart tonight

    These may not be the exact lyrics-but it brings back the good old days!

  16. THE ONLY THING U GET WHILE YOU'RE SLEEPING IS A DREAM

    FOR THOSE THAT BELIEVE THAT “THE DREAM” IS A FLY-BY NIGHT/ ONE HIT WONDER……QUIT HATING!!!!! “SHE NEEDS MY LOVE” WILL BE EMBRACED BY MORE THAN ONE GENRE…..WOMEN WILL LOVE IT BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT THEY WANT TO HERE & N***AZ WILL EMBRACE IT BECAUSE THAT WHAT THEY’RE TRYING TO SAY……THE RECORD IS MEAN & I CAN’T WAIT TO HERE WHAT ELSE HE HAS IN STORE ON OTHER ARTISTS AS WELL AS HIMSELF.

    TREY SONGZ= NOT HOT IN DA STREETZ
    HURRICANE CHRIS….GET A RINGTONE DEAL, YOU’LL RECOUP FASTER
    THUNDAKATZ….”COOL” RECORD, TELL GINGER SHE HAS A FAN

  17. Kazona

    Isn’t this Jay-Z song mad old. Flex played it, in the summer. liking the Dream record though. it’s cute.

  18. Ok the remix is cool…..I don’t like the original…… YEAH Trey.

    How old is the Dream? I kinda like this song….but he sounds like 15.

    Eh Hurricane song s’alright.

    The thunderkatz song is str8.

  19. Mimi

    Trey is ver hot in the streets, boo…What streets you coming from??? Trey is EXTREMELY TALENTED and he does not get the credit he deserves so for all those who hate to him kiss my ass ok. i love Trey, he is a great artisit and for you to say he can’t rap, you must not have heard his first or his second cd. He is IT fa real. Every song on both cd’s is the shit. He has those types of cds where you can just let it play, not skipping around for the songs you like. Trey if you can read this, I LOVE you baby, your voice is so beautiful and you really need to come to LA so I can meet you seriously. Keep it up baby, you got loyal fans who were waiting since June 12th for you and still went back to the store on Oct 2nd.

  20. Mimi

    Brian, can you please get so more info on Trey Songz, I need to know when he is coming to LA and where he will be so I can meet him. Luv ya work. I have been a reader of CL for a long time, its just that Nelly and Trey are the only two people i really give a damn about enough to make a comment.

  21. Dina-Bmore

    Gotta luv the Jay/Trey cut…Trey definitely is earning his way in the biz….also, his cd is nice….pick it up peeps:) no lie…

  22. CARLISSIA

    luv the remix !!!!!!!!!!

  23. In the words of rick james

    I’m still waiting on concrete loop to grow some courage and break out that story on Jay-z and Larry johnson’s closeted relationship…I know ya’ll getting paid up to keep quiet but come on..for the love of reporting…just do it!!! Hell i’m sure if you charged for the story you’d clean up…we already know jay and larry live together (go figure 400mill and can’t get his own crib…and its a straight relationship…right….) come on..get someone on this…and stop fronting like i’m lying or something..the facts and the truth been out there for years….

  24. What you talking about 24? lol

  25. Mimi

    He is saying that Jay is a homo, that what he said. Interesting take on the situation.

  26. backingbarack

    ella ella and eh eh are his trademarks as many people have something signature about them….

    the dream is the shit and is killin it right now…he is the breath of fresh air right now…and is just talented.

    he needs to write for his wife cause nivea is my girl and needs a much needed hit!

  27. backingbarack

    i dont like the thunderkatz…..fake ass black eyed peas….

    hurricane chris is going to be the hottest thing out there…i am feelin his delivery also and swagger…..even tho i hate ay bay bay and he looks so dirty but dude can rap. he has true talent and can freestyle like i have never seen before.

    i wish him well….

  28. Angelita

    Sorry I’m not impresseed with either of these songs.

  29. crunkpoet

  32. lilblackfan

    i heart thunderkatz
    they’re my drug until n.e.r.d comes out with their new album

  33. miss_816_05

    First and formost i’m a HUGE Trey Songz fan, so i wouldn’t exactly call this hatin. But i Really hope that this isn’t the offical Jay remix, because if it is Trey is just going to embarrass himself by introducin himself to the world as a rapper ( even though he has them mix tapes rappin) on a track with the “best rapper alive”, i mean his rapping wasn’t half bad but his flow does not compare to jay’s. And vocally, it was a mess for me…..Trey baby….DON’T DO IT! RECONSIDER!! I know u can do better!

  34. SIGNS

    LOL JAY -Z HOW BLATANT DO U WANT TO MAKE IT NOVEMEBER 6TH???????

    DREAMS MUSIC IS VERY CATCHY I DONT LIKE I LOVE IT!!!!!!

  36. Taish4U

    I feelin Jay’s remix, the otha songs whateva maybe they have to grow on me.

  37. I’ve liked the previous stuff from theDream, but I’m not feeling this song.

    I like the Neptunes’ beat on Jay’s song.

  38. a.k.a. new yorker

    i’m not a trey fan in any way shape or form. he just tries too hard. can’t rap either but he can sing.

    dream is growing on me. i hate to say it. i don’t think he’s gifted lyrically or vocally but his beats can be interesting

  39. I like The Dream’s shit. LMAO, is Hurricane Chris serious, he sat down to write lyrics & all he could come up with “she wants me to fuck her without a rubber, and i said no, i ain’t goin in u raw” ??????

  40. F_lilly
