♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫
Monday, June 9, 2008



♫ Jay-Z - A Billi (full) - listen
Jay-Z snags Weezy’s beat for a new freestyle. I’m a Jay fan, so I’m digging the song. It’s good to hear something new from him, but I think he should chill for a minute after this tour. Take a break. Enjoy the married life! No, I’m kidding. I think that Jay-Z is going to give it a rest. Wayne’s new album drops tomorrow, but it was good to hear Jay-Z’s take on the Lil’ Wayne track.
♫ Nas feat. Busta Rhymes - Fried Chicken (radio rip) - listen
More and more Nas music is leaking by the second from his new album, which is still untitled. I’m digging the new single, which features Keri Hilson and is produced by Polow Da Don. I think that kind of got my hopes up that Nas would be working with some great producers, and it seems as though that’s shaping up to be the truth. I’m glad to hear Busta on the track too - I always absolutely love his delivery, he’s one of my favorites.
♫ Khia feat. Gucci Mane - What They Do (full) - listen
Khia, who has been a media a lot recently for the fiasco on VH1’s Miss Rap Supreme, as well as her ridiculous YouTube videos, and the new video where she and Atlanta DJ Porsche Foxx get into an altercation. You can hate Khia all you want, but she makes for great entertainment. Her new music, Nasti Muzik drops sometime in July.
♫ Mario - If I Never (full) - listen
After a great run on “Dancing with the Stars”, Mario is back in the studio working on his fourth album for release by the end of the year. A song purportedly off the new album called “If I Never” has hit the net. The smooth and slow R&B jam, reminds me of a couple of songs off of his last album Go!.

Jay Z track is hot and so is the Nas
I can’t stand Khia and Gucci Mane, among many others, makes hip hop look bad.

Jay z has dope lyrics but the flow sounds real geriatric right now. Listen to Lil Momma version…now SHE KILLED IT.
Mario has one of the best voices of the younger crop of singers. He SMOKES Chris Brown and he can do everything Usher can do.

I havent heard a single Mario album(or track lately) that has blown me away or made me interested in him as an artist. Its kinda sad because he really is one of the most vocally talented artist of our generation but if you dont have the music to back it up it doesnt mean that much.

Nasti Muzik? Sounds like I will catch an STD just from listening to it. Can’t wait!!!

@13
The Jay-Z stan-ism is just rampanent these days. The Blue Print was easily one of the best Hip Hop albums of all time but there’s only so long you can live off of past ackolades. The fact is (some) of these young M.C.s are running laps around (some) of these older M.C.’s when if comes to thier (FLOW).. We all know Jay is a great writer but his flow and same mono-tone voice sound dated today. He should take his advice to Nas..”Switch up ya flow ya shit is garbage”
Thank you # 16 you know whats up. Woman face killed that track and Cory Gunz also did major damage to it.

the problem is that cats won’t even listen to lil mama’s version but will automatically write it off as garbage. oh well, their loss. she has definitely made me a believer

Exactly, I did not have a supportive bone in my body for Lil Momma other than sympathy for her mother passing, but when I heard that freestyle I was a converted. And she actually freestyled most of it instead of doing a written and calling it a freestyle. Brian why dont you do a pole and post up both songs we can do a Lil Momma vs Jay Z Millie remix contests. I think Lil momma would win.

#34 JB, Thanks! You were right she killed it!
#36 Bigvon, leave us alone! It’s just an opinion. I think Lil Mama can flow! Jay can too though. And let’s just leave it at that. Let’s just be happy that these black people have so much talent and they’re bringing it to us.

I just heard the Lil Mama version and I must say it was unexpected lol I personally liked Lil Mama’s version better, I tuned out while listening to Jay and I actually listen to Lil Mama and hung on to every word. Based on who kept my attention the most this battle goes to Lil Mama imo.

Lil Mama is young so it may be hard for some of us to relate but she can spit. If she keeps it up, when she gets older, she will be hot.

Okay Jay’s been in the game for how long???
Shouldn’t he be leading the way instead of jumping on everyone else’s beat??? Shouldn’t it be the other way around???
If you ask me he’s just co-signing that Wayne is the hottest in the game right now!!!!

Khia’s killin it. I think her record is nuts. I like Nas’s Fried Chicken too, I’m going to get me some mac & cheese right now. Jay Z is committed to excellence so even his whack rhymes are better than most rappers best.

Jay i want u to retire…… .u are a legend, ur time is now up!….u r a Billi thats why u should relax and go make babies or something…………
I am a real hiphop fan and after a while rappers should give it up and just be there for the newer rappers to look up to. Jay is now a business man snd he should stick to that. Nas I luv u, but the same goes to u….,but i see where ya head is at though…

Lil Mama’s version is good if it’s truly FREESTYLED

A BILLI = CAN YOU SEE THE FLAMES COMING OFF THAT JOINT? JAY STILL HAS ALBUM COMMITMENTS TO DEF JAM AND AFTER THAT HE’LL ONLY DO GUEST APPEARANCES, ETC. THE GAME NEEDS A JAY VERSE AT LEAST 3 TIMES A YEAR. THIS NIGGA IS OLDER THAN MOST AND STILL SPITS BETTER THAN EERRBODY!!!
BOW DOWN - HE KILLED IT.

I hate Khia’s voice,,,, her lyrics does nothing 4 me,,, and w/Gucci on this track the beat should’ve been harder mayne,,, beat sound like it was made in sumbody’s bedroom closet playing around w/Fruity Loops!!! I’m not feelin it,,, not a club banger or radio track at all!!! Nuh Uh,,,, don’t see this goin far @ all. She does make 4 good entertainment,,,,,, but that’s about it,,,, getting LOL’s everywhere that’s 4 sho!!!

Brian,
On your next music review you should put up Lil Wayne ft. Jay-Z song called “Mr. Carter”
That song is straight fire!!
In the song Jay talks about passing the tourch to Wayne and sitting on his trown with Queen B..WoW…

That Jay Z beat is hot, but I heard somewhere Wayne rappin to that beat and he KILLED Jay Z. At first I thought that was Wayne’s song until I saw it on here. Jay Z I think you need to sit down somewhere looks like a new king is in town! LOL!

yea stop hating JAY Z Weezy and Kanye in my book are all the ISH!!! And we the fans only comparing them…JAY is a legend and Weezy and Kanye are legends to come, so if Jay killed it GOOD thats what a legend is supposed 2 do doesnt means Weezy isnt hot as hell cus it is!!! NONE of them are beefing but we as fan acting like were beefing for them for what? I agree BIG VON lol saying LIL mama ( Left eye Mc Lyte reject) saying she killed it but JAY didnt WTF Is you saying!!! U must be a yunging to make that LUDICROUS Statement !!!!

I like Mario’s song, his cd should have done better!

The Billi song wasn’t all that. Jay just wanted to hop on the band waggon. It seems like he’s always trying to prove himself…I thought we were retiring grandpa?
The Nas song was hot, I like the old school feel. That English guy was annoying me.
I second #3 on Mario, he is one of the best young R&B singers. People sleep on him. His label doesn’t put alot of money into his projects to market him they they should, they also don’t release the right single. He had so many hot tracks on Turning Point. His music is quality.

Jay’s version is fire! He was smart enough to flip it and say a billi and what makes it smart is because they’re a million remakes with this beat all saying a milli - lol. The irony is, his is the only one that’s accurate (he’ll be there soon). These other cats barely got thousands - lmao!
