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.
Cassie – Untitled (snippet) – listen
In earlier interviews about Cassie’s new album, she mentioned hitting the studio with The Neptunes. I’m assuming that this untitled snippet is a product of that studio time. The song sounds unmixed, but I actually like the production. It’s a shame that in more recent interviews, Cassie has not mentioned that she went into the studio with Pharrell or Kanye, and has just been making mentions of the collaborations between Danja, Bryan-Michael Cox and Ryan Leslie. However, this could be an R. Les production. It wouldn’t be the first time he’s produced something with the signature Neptunes sound.
Chris Brown feat. Will.I.Am – Picture Perfect (full) – listen
Produced and featuring Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas, “Picture Perfect” is the follow-up single to Chris Brown’s acoustic “With You.” Even though I like this song on the album, I do not think it’s an excellent single choice for Chris. In any event, he is still on his tour, and the album is actually doing really well. Chris’s “Kiss Kiss” is still on the charts, with “With You” climbing high and certainly getting a good amount of video play.
i can pass@ the remix….
im likin the cassie tune!
or not loool damn u phillys only passion
First good stuff.
Chris Brown should have went with “Damage” or “I Wanna Be” as his next single but we’ll see. I didn’t like “With You” at first but now that’s my jam daaaaaaaaawg!
Kellz really didn’t add anything special to the Flashing Lights remix
DAMN YOU PHILLIES PASSION.
FLASHING LIGHTS REMIX IS WACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! R.KELLY FUKED IT UP!
its all hot but cassie that would be a negative young lady…chris browns voice needs to mature but im still feeling the song…cassie pleassssseee just do modeling chile!
damn why yall dont like kelz?!…i mean he aint neccessary but i fucks wit it
I think R Kelly is played OUT. I hate him on remixes. It sounds like every other song he has out.
Erykah and her NuAmerykah….wonder where she thought that up at. lol
The beat sounds like an old Wu-tang track, or like the Rza had something to do with it. I don’t see it being radio friendly, but a nice smoke track, for those it applies to.
Cassie’s voice is too light and generic. It sounds like a girl who has a nice voice. Not great, just nice.
Chris brown, ok I’m a little partial…but this will have to grow on me.
r. kelly-i take it back, i like the remix, that DJ is just in the way lol!!
Badu-i have 2 be in the mood to vibe with ms. badu, but i like…
cassie- ummmm i dunno, she sounds so generic and it sounds like all her other work….pass
Chris-i luv it….
That Chris Brown song is awful, the lyrics and the beat were all over the place. I hope Michael isn’t getting crap like this.
The flashing lights remix WTF?????????? was that GARBAGE, Brian you should be ashamed of yourself for posting that ish, R.kelly just messed up the whole song my gosh words can’t describe how wack that was.
Go Chris!
LOL
yes first!!!
and i luv/hate r. kelly…the first time i hear a rmx i hate it then after a while i fucs w/ it….
I won’t even attempt to listen to the remix of Flashing Lights cuz I know for a fact i’ll hate it. I don’t like R.Kelly at all.
I can never be mad at Erykah’s music, I jus luv her style period.
Not feeling the Chris Brown song at all. Even though I don’t like “Damage” as well it would’ve been the better choice like #5 stated.
FLASHING LIGHTS, EH IT’S A REMIX I SUPPOSE.
I’LL ALWAYS LOVE ERYKAH.
CASSIE…
I HATE THAT CHRIS BROWN SONG. HIS CD ISN’T ALL THAT BUT HE HAS BETTER SINGLES TO CHOOSE FROM.
r.kelly just ruined flashing lights…that song was already hot..it didn’t need a remix
R.Kelly is going to prison once the officials hear his more of his wack remixes
Didn’t dig the Flashing Lights remix here. I heard a club mix this weekend that was much doper.
Erykah is my chick. Keep in mind that this is the intro and outro to the album and I think it serves that purpose. Madlib did the damn thing on that beat. Very Dilla-esque.
Cassie’s….well, Cassie
I’m not into Chris Brown
I love the Erykah jam..She’ll always be my number one female artist..The beat is so ridiculous(in a good way:)
I don’t even like R. Kelly, but ‘Ye is the man…
The Cassie song is actually not bad..Her vocals sound a little more mature as well..I was surprised..Hopefully her album sales will do well this year..
I like Chris Brown but I don’t really care for this song…And as for his song “Damage”…well his voice sounds “damaged” on that damn song..
I KNEW BRIAN COULD GET IT…E BADU IS DOIN HER THING THING.I FUCKS WIT IT……….I LOVE KELZ BUT CONCRETELOOP IS NOT THE PLACE FOR KELZ SONGS…….EVERY LAST BOUGY HATA WILL B OUT IN FORCE…HATIN’…KELZ IZ A LIL TOO HOOD FA YALL….WITH THAT BEIN SAID..THE VERSE HE ADDED IS DECENT…NOT KELZ BEST BUT STILL ENTERTAININ…
I CAN HONESTLT SAY THAT EVERY KELZ POST ON HERE ILLICITS SOME WACK ASS RESPONSE FROM SOMEBODY LIKE HE AINT THE REIGNING(REAL)KING OF R AN B…THE MAN HAS NO COMPETITION……NONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE….NO WACK ASS HERE TODAY GONE TOMORROW NEYO..NO J HOLIDAY…..THE ONLY HEIR IS TREY SONGZ AND THE PEOPLE OVERLOOKIN HIM…..THE GAME IS FUCKED UP
CHI TOWN STAND UP
don’t like this erykah song but i LOVE that woman
the rest aren’t even worth commenting on
I’m so not feelin’ Kanye and Kellz version of that song, leave it like it was with my boy Dwele (Detroit stand Up)!
I can dig Ms. Badu just cause it’s her.
Cassie was hot for the most part…
and I can see the Chris Brown joint getting much radio play!
-That’s My 2 Cents!
DETROIT IS WACK..AND DWELE SECOND ALBUM IS THE PITZ…..KELZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Please stop trippin….Ain’t nuffn wrong w/flashn lights rmx….
CASSIE…LAWD I CAN’T STAND HER VOICE…SHE CANT SING…I DONT LIKE THE SONG…ITS WACK!!
I like the flashing lights original better.
I really can’t wait for Erykah Badu’s album but this song dosn’t do it for me. I will still buy the album off Honey alone that’s my jam.
Cassie song wasn’t that bad but the fact that I know she can’t sing would probably make me bias even if the song was great.
I didn’t like Chris Brown song either.
cassie (like a lot of ‘artist’) is really lucky b/c she can’t sing but w/good groovy beats she’ll probrably stay afloat…
Out of all those tracks the only one I can genuinely feel is Erykah’s (flashing lights for me was perfect without R.Kels).
On my play-list and in general, as of late, I’ve been craving something break the monotonous direction music has been taking for the past..what…decade?
Everything is so drab, predictable and overrated and…cheap.
I really feel her delivery and the message.
She always makes me feel like she knows something we don’t in an “out of the matrix” kind of way….that….or she’s on something we don’t know about.
dang it! can’t listen to the tracks cause i’m at work!
can’t wait for erykah’s to drop!
I saw Erykah in concert recently and she performed ‘The Healer’. She did an amazing job. I love the song.
I thought I was the only one that didn’t like all those flashing lights remixes.I personally love the original.I don’t listen to chris brown music but I think he’s talented. As for Cassie….ok it’s time someone else said it because I think he forgot…Diddy I understand you’re real into your jumpoff and she’s a pretty girl but the rest of us aren’t buying it..stop it.Besos
i like the chris brown song
No, offense but I am starting to believe that Brian is gay. Of all the music he could review he picks Cassie and Nicole, Britney Spears and pretty Boy Chris Brown to Review all the damn time. Give it a break Brian toughen up shyt!
What get me is that folks that own these blogs want your support, but when you give them construstive critisism, stop the effing spam and corny gay ass music reviews they go on deaf ear. Listen to your readership it is imperative. ASAP!
I guess Cassie deep throat on Puff is fianlly paying off, she sounds alot better on this track then that other shyt she dropped earlier.
This actually make me have disdain for Puff on his show Making The Band he is tuff on them but Cassie manages to slip through the crack with her non-singing ass…It is a wrap!
The Healer is a great track, but not for everyone.
Madlib definately did his thing with the beat, but that was expected.
Oh No Flashing Lights Was Better The Way It Was The Remix Sounds Crazy I Will Past…..
Im Not Feeling Miss Erykah At All Sorry…..
Cassie’s Song Is Really Nice You People Are Haterz…..
Im Luvin Chris Brezzy Song Picture Perfect One Of My Fav Song On The Album But I Still Think “I Wanna Be” Should Have Been His 2nd Single…..
the cassie joint is hot. once people get it in their head that they don’t like somebody, the person can release a masterpiece and it will still be hated. she doesn’t have the best voice, but neither does janet, ciara, and countless other singers. She is working what she has and I ain’t mad.
Erykah is the business …always has been and always will be.
Chris Brown is wack.
I like the original Flashing Lights much better.
WHY SO MANY REMIXES KANYE?
AS FOR THE OTHERS I DON’T KNOW
kanye-…..ummmmm ok kellz was talkin bout da same ish,see the thing i like about the song is that you know what its about but then again you don’t,almost a mystery,with kellz talkin bout da hood and all dat ish its like okkkkkkkk and,i mean flashin lights be hittin the clubs hard,that doesnt mean it has to be made into a club song…(meaning about the same club ish) i mean its alright wit kellz but my nigga dwele kills it
erykah- its kinda boring……but i still like it for some reason
cassie- i must be honest………..i like it,yes i do,dont know why,just do,and her voice has gotten a smidget better
chris- i like dat song a lil bit,just started to like it,but it is NOT single material TAKE YOU DOWN CHRIS HEAR MY CRY,TAKE YOU DOWN!!!!!! or damage lol
yea, so that flashing lighs rmx/r.kelly was STRAIGHT SHIT!!!
I’m really feeling that Badu track!!!
The Chris Brrezy track is cool something i can definitely vibe to.
We could have done without the Flashing Light remix.
Do not like the flashing lights remix, why can’t some songs be left alone????
The Erykah Badu song sounds kind of scary, but it is ok.
Whatever Cassie……bad singer.
Damnnnnn Chris has so many other good songs on his CD and they keep picking songs that have to grow on you. They need to put a pole up so that we can vote for a new song, cuz if it was part of my decision I would choose “Damage”!!!!
DETROIT BRED DWELE WAS A MUCH BETTER LOOK FOR FLASHLIGHTS!! HE JUST SET THE WHOLE THING OFF!! KANYE RUINED THE BEST SONG HE EVER PRODUCED PUTTIN KELLS ON IT!! DETROIT WHAT!! DETROIT WHAT!!
OH AND WHOEVER SAID DETROIT IS WACK BETTA SHUT THS F&&K UP BEFORE I HAVE MY BOY BUST A CAP AT YO AZZ LOL!!! WE AIN’T THE MOST DANGEROUS CITY FOR NOTHIN !!!
I agree with you Brian about the flashing lights remix. Kanye is probably the only artist out that makes PERFECT songs. Some times you just can’t improve on perfection, even if you’re R. Kelly! I still love the beat though.

REMIX sucks big time. I tuned R-Kelly out for real. Now that song is my jam! I head bob to that all the time. Wonderful production, just didn’t need kelly on it. Who ever said he is becoming played out, I agree. And the remixes he’s doing aren’t worth 2 nickles.
#21, you provided good info cause i was about to say i didn’t like Erykah’s song. Since it’s a segway into the album, then it’s cool. I love her voice and her music and she is needed in music right now.
Sorry but Cassie is always going to suck as an artist to me. To bland and not original. Diddy, since you tune into what we say, put her non singing behind on making the band since you like showing it.
Not feeling Chris Brown’s song. I don’t to much like “With You”, but it’s better than this one. That “Kiss Kiss” is off the hook though!
1……Flashing Lights regular version = DA SHIIIIIIIIIIIT! BEST SONG ON THE CD
Flashing Lights remix feat. R. Kelly = HOTT GARBAGE
Kelz make my fu*kin”head hurt……
ewwwwww, i am so angry that he messed up a perfectly good song.
2……love the e badu
3……Cassie sounds like after it’s remastered, it might be ok
4……Chris Breezy sounds iight….it’ll grow on me
**please note my actions*
*changes shirt, after hearing the flashing lights remix*
…….i mean as soon as i heard kelz, started throwing up all over myself
ewwwwwww, i feel like snatching my hair out by the roots……..uhhhhhh
man r.kelly take yo ass to jail already all his shit is wack with these remixes talkin bout the same ol shit about him in tha club, old ass. GO ERYKAH!!!! ta hell with tha rest
I have to agree wit who ever said that kanye makes perfect songz… its so tru .. u cant improve upon perfect… flashing lights is my favourite tune on his cd… the original is gold!
Cassy- didnt listen too …. doesnt interest me
Chris – chose a song as some else also said … that you need to get use to .. whn i first heard it . i didnt really like it .. but it grows on ou .. i jus wonder wat the video will be like ?
That new Erykah joint is pure genius, I’m pleasantly surprised.
That Erykah Badu is hot. That was the
i also prefer the flashing lights original better without r.kelly. i believe r. is done.
a lot of his songs are repetitive. his time is up. he hasnt put out any quality material and some time, and he needs to focus on clearin up those charges and makin those court dates, and stop worryin about jumpin on peoples songs. his chester molester ass.
Cassie sounds better, but she’s still pretty weak. She sounds like Ciara, except a little worse…so that’s obviously pretty bad.
Her producers are amazing, though.
erykah giving me what i need
I like Raheem Devaughn’s remixed version of Flashing Lights MUCH better.
Erykah’s track is HOT. Love it!
Kanye the remix is shit haha i hate Kellzz he’s another track whore apart from LIl wayne
Eryka Bhadu- I like the beat gonna buy the album
CAssie-Woooot That’s Fire rite there her music is getting better
CHris brown-YOur really wack, Your new Cd is WAck, Go bakk to the old Chris not this new “Ohh dayuum girl im’a make you wet” Chris
Can’t wait for my girl Erykah’s album I wish her and Jill Scott would go on tour together
