♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫
Wednesday, July 30, 2008



♫ Cassie feat. Lil’ Wayne - Official Girl (Remix) (full) - listen
So, the first single from Cassie, “Official Girl,” did not jump off as Bad Boy expected it to. I think that was made pretty obvious by all those rumors circulating about her and Diddy being in a relationship, or tying the knot. I love “Official Girl,” but I don’t think they pushed it like the should have. And even though The Clutch and Danjahandz did a wonder job on the song, here goes Bad Boy doing what they think will be the next best thing: adding Lil’ Wayne into the mix.
♫ Young Jeezy feat. Jay-Z - Put On (Remix) (full) - listen
Here’s an official remix to “Put On” from Young Jeezy, which, of course, is huge in Atlanta. You can’t get into your car or go into a club or party without hearing this song about three times. And now Jay-Z is on it? People are going to eat this up, just like they did “Go Crazy” from Hov and Jeezy. This collaboration with inevitable.
♫ Joe - Can’t You See (full) - listen
New material from Joe. Even though this new song, “Can’t You See” sounds a little dated, Joe still remains one of my favorite male vocalists, especially after his delivery on his last album, Ain’t Nothin’ Like Me. I wasn’t really digging this song at first, but the more and more I listened, the more I got into the song. I guess it’s one of those songs that has to grow on you, considering that I found it a little boring and slow towards the beginning.
♫ Tank - Take It All (full) - listen
Tank, please do not tease us! Let us know whether or not this is new music from new sessions, or if this is leftovers from the Sex, Love & Pain album. I’ve definitely heard better from Tank, but I just think he’s an extremely talented individual. Tank’s delivery is always on point, and he always does great material for other artist. He had some real gems on Jamie Foxx’s and Kelly Rowland’s albums. I hope he’s working on a new project, and I hope he goes in with Timbaland.

@ 2,
Lay off the crack. Jay-Z is considered to be one of the best, so I suggest you rephrase your thought. And let me guess, you think Lil Weazle is the best rapper alive right?? That’s why he himself put Jay-Z’s name with 2Pac & Biggie, so get corrected.

Cassie, please sit down. They should have just let Karina Pasian keep that song.
I like Jeezy’s song better with Kanye on it. Jay-z alright though I guess.
Not really interested in the last two, might comment on them later if I get around to listening to them…

Cassie sounds horrible. her voice sounds so studio created. Also the beat and her voice are not in sync and it sounds like she speeds up trying to catch up. her song actually sounds like it’s being played in fast forward.
As far as jeezy, I am a true trap or die/trap star fan…but I was not really feeling his put on with Kanye until after hearing it for the millionth time, I had my ah ha moment and really started digging it. Especially Kanye’s part. i like jeezy’s part of the lyrics better on the remix version though. But, just when I started digging the song, they went and fucked it up by putting jay Z on it. He is not a good rapper at all, and does not rap about shit. He is not a storyteller at all. The only Jay Z long I like was I had to make this song cry. Other than that he can sit his lame ass down.
Tank and Joe: to be one of the best vocalist in the game have seen very little success, its really unfortunate. They need to get better promoters or something.

Oh Damn!
Wednesday, July 30, 2008 /
why is it that the only thing this girl does is talk over a beat and it still constitutes as singing. This so called “songs” is a mess and not even weezy f baby aka “Please f*ck me Baby” can save it. Sorry “Salty” but I going to deny that this song is worth 4 mins of anybody’s time.
I’m really feelin’ the Jeezy Jay-Z track though. Seems like Jay’s on everybody’s remixes these dayz huh. But what I’m feelin the most are the political and commentary in a lot of the new rap songs. reminds me of what i used to love the most about rap music…let’s hope this continues.

Cutie….thats the case with most of the talent out there…cuz too many ppl are putting their interests in no-talented “artists” like cassie…instead of giving real talent some publicity…yo it’s all about who u kno…(or who u eff’n for tracks in Cassie’s Case)
and people like “Salty” who have horrible taste in music just buying it all up”

i agree with #18, Ye’s verse KILLS on “Put on”…Jeezy’s verse is better on the remix…Jay’s is good (talking the same ol’ isht tho) but not as good as Ye’s…Kanye BROUGHT it on ‘Put On’

Ok I think we all figured this out already. Just because you can ’sang’ doesn’t mean you’re destined to be a great artist, & just because you can’t sang according to aretha franklin standards doesn’t mean you can’t be a great artist or at least perfect your craft.
Cassie has a monotone voice…We all know this. But she has the potential to improve. (I never thought I’d be defending this girl lol) but I like cassie’s music. & her debut album was above & beyond decent.

i just refuse to listen to anything with cassie’s name before it.didnt even bother to read the review…
the remix sucks,SERIOUSLY.jeezy’s verse is just everywhere and jay,i love you but your verse makes no sense…
im sure joe will grow on me,i love almost all his songs,the beat sounds old school,i like that.
yeah tank’s song is meant for a woman…he sounds so weird singin this.lol…..anyway,i wonder who will end up with this song?hmmm

Cassie sounds horrible and annoying! Offical Girl just seems like the song to the publicity stunt of them being in a relationship and this is supposed to be her exposing herself on cd giving him an ultimatum…… it failed, it’s horrible… pretty young lady but that doesn’t make a singer… her connections are what keeps her relevant in this industry….
Jeezy track sounds like the rest of Jeezy’s hits and Jay is typical no suprise there

Cassie has no talent. She really doesn’t. I just can’t get w/ anything that she does and I wish people would stop giving her such great tracks. Weezy doesn’t even make this a hot song and I’m just so tired of this chick. The music industry sickens me so much!
Jay Z could’ve honestly kept that remix. Just another song where he raps about repping for NY. Lol @ him asking for the T-Pain voice, trying it out, then dissing it.

Cassie is going to keep singing as long as she want b/c Diddy is in love with her, and she’s going pop; therefore she really doesn’t have to know how to sing. Honestly I think her album will probably go platinum at least just by listening to some of the tracks leaked from her album. Every single she’s gong to release is going to have a rapper:
Official girl- lil Wayne
2 the morning- young dro etc.
it’s kind of smart if u think about it. But I like Cassie. The only thing that bothers me about her is she biting the fuck out of Aaliyah’s style! next time u look at her look at her hair and clothes and tell me if they look a little familiar?
CAN’T WAIT FOR THE LIVE PERFORMANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can’t believe someone on here had the nerve to actually defend Cassie. Man, that girl’s voice is horrible! SHE CANNOT SING! LITERALLY, she doesn’t even sing badly like mess up on vocals, she has no vocals whatsoever and I find that so weird. It’s like air coming out of her mouth. She has no potential to improve. This girl is pathetic and weak. That’s why she had no choice but to f*ck Ryan and Diddy for a deal and tracks. I don’t even like the beat. You can’t dance to it and her voice messes the song up.
That Jeezy track sucks. It sounds like all the gangsta southern tracks that have been recorded before.
That Joe song sounds like a track from the 90’s and Tank’s song is so boring.

Cassie has not the best singer in the world but she does have a chance in becoming a better singer. Besides she has the looks. I Love her lips.
And that JAYZ and JEEZY remix was cool. If Jigga would of used that auto tools voice effect I would of smacked his momma in the mouth.

Cassie?? WTF? Next Selection and her whole crew honestly believes that she is a big deal. Are they serious? Just the other day Next Selection had this forum that posted downloadable links to music temporarily shut down because they had a song up there that they believed would be “HER BIGGEST HIT”. I laughed so hard when i got word of that because that’s ridiculous. Her vocals are beyond horrible. My 6 year old neice dances around the house singin Disney tunes better than that waste of a single she put out a while back. Now theres this whole thing about her and Diddy getting engaged. If she continues to slap herself in the face by pulling off publicity stunts like that, her modeling career is gonna start spiraling down the drain to where her singing career has been from the jump. Throw in the towel already while you still got time hunni. We are sick and tired of your monotonous tone. I’m gonna give you some kudos for trying but …. no, sorry.

@ 46
I’m so glad u said that! When he wrote that the other day I was thinking WTF do u mean u have a problem with A. Keys vocal range. How r u worried about what Alicia’s going to come up with having all the vocal ability in the world; but u like Cassie’s song…are u not concerned about what Cassie’s albums going to be like seeing she has NO vocal range what so ever!
I don’t think you are qualified to write music reviews so could you please stop!
I couldn’t have said it better #46…..

Jay-Z Didn't Shine Until Pac Was Gone
Wednesday, July 30, 2008 /
Let’s get one thing straight…everybody after Pac has be runner up to his throne (i.e. Ja Rule, DMX, 50 Cent, Lil Weezy, Jay-Z). Jay-Z ghost writer was hot not Jay and i would say that his ghost writer retired after the Black album.

First her hair and bras, & now she goes to the studio and says she wants an Aaliyah sound. Not to mention Weezy didn’t even take this song seriously. Just because hes the hottest at the moment doesn’t mean everything he touches will turn to gold…he killed this song, LITTERALY!!
DIDDY if u want this girl to succeed bring back the Micky Mouse Club; There she would be a superstar!

I have to say that Cassie sounds like a 12 year old or something. Maybe she should think about doing something on the Disney Channel. I mean I think she sounds awful and I am not hating…. Why does Diddy think he can just keep selling us this B@$LSH*T.
Give us a break Diddy, it’s not even her music that you like LOL!!!

Ok folks!!!!! Did ya’ll just hear what I heard or shall I say did you not hear what I just heard!!! This chick is definitely tone deaf! She was so off beat with her timing and she sounds like she is 12 years old cooning! I have had it with Cassie, just because you are bein literally screwed by P Diddy, doesn’t mean that you need a record contract. I mean you don’t see Kim Porter chalking up a record. Cassie needs to stick to modeling! Also, she needs to eat a little something the girl looks a little on the sick and thin side.

#54 that’s funny - Jay has a ghostwriter? LMAO. Any one writing for Jay would’ve broke that contract just to get the props. He ghostwrites for others - “I’m not a biter I’m a Writer for myself and others”. Also, Jay had hot joints out when PAC was ALIVE and was cementing his status ’cause he’d started out after Pac and Big. Don’t get it twisted. He’s the living legend that’s still spittin’ and shittin’ on this game. “Don’t You Know - Throw in the Towel, I’m Better With Vowels! Flows Switches Every 16 Shit’s Mean Man!”

Cassie-There’s nothing I can say that hasn’t already been said. She’s talentless and not only an Aaliyah swagger jacker but a Janet one too. That Me and U video was a poor rip off of Pleasure Principle. But I find it odd that the same folks bashing Cassie, praise Rihanna. They’re both in the same boat. All glitz and nothing else. Well, I guess it just boils down to who you prefer. Anyway, Cassie’s got to mean something special to Diddy, because he is wasting his money on this chick. We all know her new album will not sell.
Jeezy-Not interested in hearing the remix, because I don’t care for the song. I don’t understand the hype about it. It sounds just like his other stuff.
Joe and Tank-Both tracks are nice lyrically, but the beats are making them sound boring. They need better beats to bring the words alive. I love both of these guys though. They are two of the only ones left singing real R&B. Not that pop stuff.
@67-Jay is alright with me, but I agree with what you said. I personally don’t think he’s the greatest rapper out here. I think Nas, Andre 3000, and Black Thought are better but hey that’s a whole ‘nother topic. lol
72.

@ 54 Damn! My sentiments exactly! I saw your post and was like DAMN!
Cutie is right Jay is not the best rapper… but I guess one can be called the best when there isn’t any competition…Jay Z made the rap game international and by doing that he f**ked the game up…. If your face is seen every day on TV…if your voice is played on the radio all the time… you will get noticed… Jay Z got noticed…. that’s why he’s making all of these moves to (basketball team, clubs, clothing line etc) keep his face out there… question can someone tell me what the hell Jay Z was rapping about?
The game has been f**ked up since Pac left…. The Game kind of brought it back at least Black raps about something…

@70 if Jay Z is a “living legend” how did he get slaughter by Nas? I put it to you like Jim Jones said “You say 30 the new 20… but you 40 I’m 30 so who’s 20?” Enough said.
Not trying to hate on Jay Z (honestly), but he got no talent… he was wearing tropical shirts and sitting in the background of Foxy Brown’s video when Pac was alive so what was he “cementing”? Enough said.
He got lucky with: HOVA (Nas torn him a new hole when he dissed him)…Bonnie & Clyde (mind you that was Pac’s song reason for the shout out in the video) Song Cry (was okay…) Jay Z at most is a hustler he saw an opportunity to advance when Pac and BIggie died and took it (of course with the help of Dame Dash)…. no one else was claiming nothing; who wouldn’t seize an opporunity to move up in the world…
Enough said.
