Kanye West feat. R. Kelly - Flashing Lights (Remix) (full) - listen
Sorry about the delay on this guys, it was a pretty busy (extended) weekend. Here is the “Flashing Lights” remix that everyone has been going off about it. Personally, I can do without R. Kelly. I’m not gonna lie and say that he doesn’t add a certain energy when he gets on a song, but it just gets a little monotonous and repetitive. I prefer the version with just Kanye, in all honesty. I still can’t wait for the video, which stills have leaked from.
Erykah Badu - The Healer (full) - listen
Here’s another song from Erykah Badu’s new album, Nu AmErykah. I have always loved Erykah Badu, and I actually really love the production on this song, as well as her delivery. Even though this is lacking some actual singing, I like the way she delivers the song. And although it feels like it’s got some gaps in it, I found myself really bobbing my head as the song progressed. Upon more listens, I was getting into the lyrics. I thought because of “Honey,” Erykah, as creative as she is, didn’t have anything to talk about anymore. Proved me wrong! Nu AmErykah is due out February 26th.
According to various news sources, Dwayne “Lil Wayne” Carter Jr., was arrested in Arizona Tuesday night on three felony counts, including: possession of dangerous drugs, possession of narcotics and possession of drug paraphernalia. Cops tell the media that the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) was involved in the arrest, which isn’t a good thing.
According to TMZ, Lil’ Wayne’s tour bus went through a US Border Patrol checkpoint when the narcotics were allegedly found, that’s when the DEA was called in.
Wayne is currently in the custody of the Yuma County Sheriff’s Department, where he’ll be held pending his arraignment later on today.
