♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫
Wednesday, May 14, 2008


♫ Lil Wayne feat. Kanye West - Lollipop (remix) (full) - listen
Lil’ Wayne and Kanye West have joined forces once again, this time for the “Lollipop” remix, an extended metaphor, comparing food and sex. The last time they collaborated was on one of my favorite tracks from Kanye’s last album, Graduation, “Barry Bonds.” I actually prefer the remix to the original version - it gets a little monotonous, but this one is short, sweet and straight to the point. “Lollipop” really goes off in the club, so I’m sure everyone will love this track. I actually wouldn’t be mad at this song being packaged on the album. Lil’ Wayne is releasing his new album, The Carter III on June 10th.
♫ Ashanti feat. Nelly & Akon - Body On Me (full) - REMOVED
Here’s the full version of Ashanti’s second single, “Body On Me,” that we posted a snippet for yesterday. The song reminds me of the ’90’s a little bit. Although I see the radio friendliness of the song, I can’t stand Akon on the chorus. I’m wondering if they’ll put a video out for this before they release the album in June. I think the trend has become having two videos out before the album drops, even though “The Way That I Love You” is doing well on radio and still on countdowns.
♫ T.I. feat. R. Kelly - Life of the Party (full) - listen
T.I., although he’s been on the scene a lot lately, and got off easy on his charges, has diligently been working on his new album, Paper Trail. A couple of songs have leaked, so here’s another. “Life of the Party” features R. Kelly and is supposedly lined up to be a single from the album. I have to admit, I was a little disappointed and bored when I heard the song. I think T.I. can come a little harder, especially with all the controversy that’s been surrounding him as of late. T.I. vs. T.I.P. disappointed a few fans, so perhaps this time around, he’ll satisfy.
♫ Muffy - Popular (full) - listen
A while back, we posted Muffy’s club song “Sweet” in our Hot or Not section, and most of you guys weren’t feeling it, though some were. Well, that didn’t stop her. She’s still in the studio recording her album, and still doing shows. “Popular” is a funny, concept song. You wouldn’t expect a song like that, at least I didn’t. But Muffy explains that her music is all about having a good time, and just doing it all for fun. If you’re digging “Popular” from Muffy, check out more of her tunes on MySpace.

Lil’ Wayne- FIRE but the original is better. Can these artists please give T-Payne his voice machine back (fake ass talent for non singers).
A-shitty’s song is cool minus her played out ex-boyfriend. She isn’t even singing much, but I suppose we should be thankful for that. It is sure to get annoying amounts of radio play.
T.I. - the track is hot but please don’t come with that bipolar split personality sh*t again. Develop your album instead of trying to develop an alter-ego.
Muffy- Pop Pop Popular won’t be very popular with the masses but I like stupid sh*t like that.

It’s obvious a fan made this version, it’s not the official version of the song.
A fan took nelly and akon’s orignal version and mixed it with ashanti’s snippet.

the muffy song isn’t terrible, just not my style. I wonder what age group she’s targeting, sounds high schoolish to me.

Likin the lollipop remix…Kanye always does his thing
Once again, I like ‘Body on me’
T.I’s song is actually ok, he could do better tho
‘Popular’ isnt horrible; i mean i dnt like it or anything but I’ve heard worse

I didn’t like that Sweet song so I’m not going to bother listening to this Popular song. My computer is slow enough as it is lol.
Whenever I see that R. Kelly is featured on a song I get skeptical. As much as I love me some T.I. I can’t stand R. Kelly!!!
Loved, loved, loved the Lollipop remix. Can’t wait to the the Carter III
Since Nelly is my hometown homie I had to check out Ashanti’s new one and I like it.

Lmao while us Ashanti Stans know that’s not the final version like be happy she’s getting a lot of promo=)
But back to the song like many others said its not the final version go back and listen to it after nelly raps for the first time the chorus is TOTALLY different lata yall oh and one more thing.

I like the track by Muffy a little bit. Her style reminds me of Kelis, and I dig Kelis’ music.
Ashanti’s song would sound so much better if Akon wasn’t singing the chorus. I can’t stand his voice. He sounds like a Muppet gargling some water. When he won for best male R&B/Soul artist last year at the AMAs, I was just shaking my head in disgust. Anyway, the song kinda has cool laid back vibe to it, but Akon’s singing just ruins it for me.

You doing it Brian getting these songs on here so quick….your reviews are on point too!
Lollipop Mix is hot! Love Lil Wayne. Don’t care what nobody say!
Ashanti doing it
Dont listen to nothing with R.Kelly attached to it
Muffy…she got a record deal? they mind as well give me a contract cuz this is TOO wack..pointless really. What is she even talking about?

LOST ONES
Wednesday, May 14, 2008 /
WAYNE + KANYE = LOST ONES. Are they serious? Kanye’s saying he’s the best in the world and as usual, Weezy makes no sense. These cats are sooooo overrated they have people thinking they can actually rap. Lyrics hold weight, not popularity. The original was trash and this ones even worse. Wayne fucks up everything he gets on including his own shit.

Ashanti’s song is no the original. It was actually just Nelly and Akon but this version aint much different so I still love it. Love Kanye on that Lollipop remix too he ate that hope he performs it with Wayne at Summer Jam.

xxxplicit.....u've been warned
Wednesday, May 14, 2008 /
weezy…..played out. radio needs to stop playing his music every other minute……but, DONT GET ME WRONG, i respect him as a artist and i love his creativity. lollipop remix is….OK……but Kanye put a twist to it. i listened to it cause he was featured on it and i am feeling his verse.
ASHANTI: wat is up w/ her….i think taking her music in her own direction without the oversight of irv is definitely a SMART move….body on me is a HOT summer single and she is highly underrated because she is all the time being compatred to other artists. but…….the declaration seems like an album to go out and buy.
T.I., the self proclaimed King of the South is coming hard!! i have always been a fan of his since Im Serious. R. Kelly-i dnt have too much to say about him.
Muffy…….NO COMMENT!

I’ll tell you this, After the stunt she pulled with this song, if she and Nelly were not finished before, you can ABSOLUTELY bet your bottom dollar he’s DONE with her now! He’s finally seeing her for who she is………. a styleless, talentless, non-singing, dancing for dummies, c-lister, who USED to be somewhat relevant! but then again, she got lucky because Aaliyah passed away too soon…R.I.P to the true princess!

i’m feeling that lollipop remix!
i also found this other remix by some unsigned kid from the bay area. i thought it was a version static did by himself at first because he sounds a lot like him especially in the first part & hook. i asked him for the file over myspace & he gave it to me. thought i’d share it.

to # 39 CL already posted that song.
and in my opinion as well as almost everyone else’s, that song is lame.
anyways, the lollipop remix is okay.
im tired of hearing him talk about ppl lickin wrappas period.
kanye and his arrogance aint changed eitha so..nothin new.
body on me is okay.
life of the party is….um ok.
muffy..its aight. its retardedd. sounds like a fergie reject.
kinda like da beat though. yet immature-like.
