♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫

Monday, November 3, 2008

♫ The Dream feat. Lil’ Jon - Let Me See the Booty (full) - listen
Sorry it took me so long to get these to you, guys! In any event, here’s some new material from The Dream and Lil’ Jon. If you remember, we posted some info in our music news section about The Dream putting his new album out this December. The album is titled Love vs. Money. “Let Me See the Booty” isn’t anything more than what I expected, especially after I heard the production was courtesy of Lil’ Jon. I’m glad that Tricky Stewart will be responsible for most of the album.

♫ Rich Boy - Drop (full) - listen
Rich Boy’s first album was pretty cool to me. I was wondering when he’d be coming out with some new material, but I’m a little disappointed with this. Not because of what he’s saying, or his flow, but because it sounds like a complete rip of Lil’ Wayne’s “A Milli,” which garnered him so much success this era. I guess, Rich Boy. Get in where you fit in. I’m hoping that he comes a little stronger for the first single, if he’s planning on dropping a new record any time soon. Because this is just too obvious.

♫ Brandy - 2nd Thought (full) - listen
Check out this leaked track from Brandy’s Human sessions. The song, apparently, will not be making the final tracklisting for the new album, due out December 9th, but nonetheless, this is a great Brandy track. Her voice sounds effortless on this, as usual. I’m glad that Brandy has finally started performing her single, “Right Here (Departed),” and she definitely nailed it on TRL last week.

♫ Ryan Leslie - How It Was Supposed To Be (full) - listen
I didn’t really get into the whole “Addicted” or “Diamond Girl” craze and I must admit that I’m pretty disappointed on this underwhelming production for this new Ryan Leslie track, “How It Was Supposed To Be.” Ryan is a talented guy to me, but I think that some people are just more suited behind the scenes. Ryan is definitely one of them for me.

Ok now that I am first:) I will give my opinion of the song… I love Brandy and her vocals are always outstanding, i can see why the song didnt make it though, it is kinda unfinished sounding, the music is really low… Brandy is one of the most underrated artists and i am glad that she is back!! I am also feeling that track with her and John Legend Quickly…

Oh my, if “2nd Thought” didn’t make the final cut of Human, I am super excited about what did. I fell in love with that song in 3 seconds - the melody is beautiful, and Brandy’s voice rides over it perfectly. It does sound a little unfinished, like it wasn’t mastered, but that doesn’t take away from the song itself at all.

The dream is overrated….and i’m over this dude

Rich Boy….please find something to do with yourself..you are not it

Brandy….I must say I am happy with what is out so far..and she looked and sounded amazing last week on TRL….glad she is getting her life together…i wish her the best

Ryan Leslie….SIT THE F*CK DOWN and STOP making these pathetic tracks about how Cassie left you….your album wont come out or do well if you stay worried about that chick…you bent over backwards to make her into a “star” gassed her head to think she could sing and now look…she dissed you for a man whore and you can’t even get your album and self together …stop chasing models and focus on making good music….i am disspointed in what i have been hearing from you….

Brandy is the best!

So disappointed in the dream….in fact, i’m disappointed with alot of the music out now, it’s so mindless….i can’t believe he actually got a song called let me see the booty….what is the world coming to? I believe music is contributing to the downfall of us as a people. Music influences people’s thoughts, and when you hear something all day that’s mindless is stupid, well no wonder we are going from bad to worse….i swear it’s so hard to listen to the radio anymore, so i don’t. I have a huge collection of cds’s, and i listen to them. And when the industry don’t promote the good music, i go over the music section in Walmart and i buy Tamia, i buy rapheal saadiq, i buy tweet, i buy all the music the industry don’t promote, cause right now they are just promoting mindless music like lil wayne, t-pain, and beyonce…..the music scene is depressing if you listen to the radio.

Ryan Leslie is like Johnta Austin… damn near an album’s worth of singles have been circulated and nothings catching on… and I do like them, but I guess what theyre droppin just aint enough.

Dream… what is this? Please dont let me down after that great first CD. Was anybody really missing Lil Jon??

16.

Monday, November 3, 2008 /

Um…LOL I really cant get myself to listen to a track called “Let Me See the Booty” :roll: Seriously, these fools writing this ish need to grow up. Hell Im 21, and even I don’t listen to that kinda mess.

Ryan Leslie Sucks

Monday, November 3, 2008 /

Ryan Leslie SUCKS! Everything he has put out SUCKS! Maybe he should go back to school and try something different.

The Dream-Is he serious with this? This garbage, and he’s always using a repeated a word or syllable in his hooks. It’s so easy to spot that he produced a song. I agree with someone said already, he’s over rated. He sings off key too.

Rich Boy-Yep, he’s trying re-create A Milli and it’s not working. That hook is annoying, but the beat is pretty cool. If he got rid of the girl yodeling on this, it wouldn’t be bad.

Brandy-It’s sound alright, but you can tell it’s unfinished.

Ryan- Medicore, but not bad. I won’t jump the gun and say he should stay behind the scenes. This might be many of his throw away songs, because I have heard some songs from him that I do like.

@8-I totally agree, I boycotted the radio years ago. I only listen to internet radio and find about new music through blogs, because regular radio does a poor job of promoting quality. I don’t see how some people can stand it.

The Dream seems to be delivering consistently with his production lately, and the Brandy track is a winner IMO. I really dig Ryan’s production but something tells me people arent feeling him as an artist which is a shame because he’s a real talent. Hell if he can get a non singer like Cassie to number one he should be able to do the same for himself! lol Loving the reviews Bryan keep em coming!

Brandy–

I am so impressed by her new material! She really knows how to make adult rhythms to suit her audience. If this is what the album’s slower tracks sound, I’m a buyer!!!! She did that!!!

Everyone else–

Keep it….

Ignorant negroes who were lifted up by the KKK focus ALL THEIR ATTENTION ON HELPING WHITE RASCIST DESTROY BLACK BOYS and to come up with new ways to do it.

Now the fools are criticizing EVERY WORD that a CHILD makes IF HE IS SMART ENOUGH TO MAKE HIMSELF A MILLIONAIRE WITH NO HELP FROM THEIR OLD POOR AZZES.

IF SOLDIER BOY WASN’T MAKING A DIME OFF OF TALKING LIKE A CHILD, THEY WOULDN’T GIVE HIM THE TIME OF DAY, OR A BISCUIT IF HE WAS STARVING ON THE STREET.

THESE OLD FOOLS ARE SO DUMB THAT THEY don’t know that all they are doing is policing black people JUST LIKE THE MASSAH TAUGHT THEM TO DO IN SLAVERY DURING HIS ABSENCE. WITHOUT THE BUY IN OF THESE IDIOTS SLAVERY WOULD HAVE BEEN OVER A LONG TIME AGO.

BREAK GENERATIONAL CURSES. STOP THE STUPIDITY.

Instead of using your energy to return any black boy to the ghetto who dares to work himself out of poverty, why aren’t you lobbying washington for jobs for them, drug programs, education programs FOOL!

And by the way dirty africans SOLD US into slavery, AND WORSE OF ALL THE FOOLS ARE STILL SELLING SLAVES. REGARDLESS OF THE REASON WE GOT OUT OF AFRICA WHO ARE BLESSED TO BE OUT, AND SOLDIER IS SMARTER THAN ALL OF YOU FOOLS TO KNOW THAT.

Number 7 you are doing too much. I dont see your album out either so let the artist do what they does. Brandy has been away too long I’m ready. Rich Boy must of gotten to you for you to hate on him so get his name out yo mouth. Ryan Leslie made Cassie a star so why would he be trippin off of her anyway he got money coming in and his music is just over your head

other than that hatin, not every artist has the midas touch. i mean we all cant like everything but at least they can be creative. now the radio is killing everything i agree but as long as the listener loves what they hear and the artist is true to what they feel and pursue expressing that emotion on the record I repsect that. we just have to get the other artists out and stop bootlegging the ones we like.

F souljah boy lol

Ryan Leslie is a very talented guy…No one is ever in a position to say that someone deserves to be behind the scenes….Compared to most of the famous artists out his work is not to bad for a first album…

Love that Brandy track. Anyone who thinks Brandy’s track didn’t work must not be from the older generation when R&B was R&b not the garbage we hear nowadays. Y’all wanna know what R&B is, dissolved yourselves in the 90’s and listen to what it is. Beyonce Stans, no offense, but Bee don’t stand a chance in that time. And still don’t cut it. Word!!!
