♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫

♫ Lil’ Mama – I’m A Diva (full) – listen
I didn’t think that Lil’ Mama was going to be doing another album, I just thought that she was going to continue to be a judge on MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew. Everyone’s a diva now. The production, although I’m not sure who is reponsible for it, sounds like Britney Spear’s first single from her album, Circus, “Womanizer.” I don’t know, some people said that they liked it, but I’m not really buying it.

♫ Rihanna feat. The Dream – Hatin’ On the Club (full) – listen
To me, Rihanna, The Dream and Tricky Stewart have undeniable chemistry. From the material that they produced together on her Good Girl Gone Bad project (“Umbrella,” “Breakin’ Dishes,” etc.), I would say that I have just about liked everything they’ve done together. I’m a little confused though, because I thought that Rihanna was going for a more edged-out, rock sound – records that sounded more like “Disturbia.” Perhaps these songs that have leaked have been all tracks leftover from previous sessions.

♫ The Dream feat. Busta Rhymes & Fabolous – Rockin’ That Thing (Remix) (full) – listen
This song is being remixed about as much as Keri Hilson’s “Turnin’ Me On,” but I ain’t mad at it. The Dream needed this song to take flight, ’cause that first single, “Let Me See the Booty” just wasn’t catching on. But it seems like I can’t escape this song on the radio or in people’s home stereos or even ringtones! The Dream supposedly shot a video for the track over the past weekend, with labelmates Electrik Red, as well as Christina Milian. Good to see The Dream working with Fabolous again, considering that he was on that first remix of The Dream’s first single, “Shawty Is A 10!”

♫ Bubba Sparxxx – That’s What I Do (full) – listen
I didn’t think that Bubba Sparxxx was working on any new material anymore since the last album on Purple Ribbon label didn’t work out. Honestly, I really like Bubba Sparxxx. I like his southern swagger, and I think he’s the only white rapper to come out that won’t ever be compared to Eminem. The song is supposedly produced by Timbaland, whom Sparxxx got his start with. It’s good to see Tim hooking up with old friends again, including Ginuwine for his new album.

    On Rihanna making a edged-out, rock sound album Brian get over it she’s not sticking to her original idea.

  2. HB

    feeling the Dream rite now.

  3. WhatIThinkIs

    Lil’ Mamma is a train wreck! What, is she a singer now? She keeps talking about folks needing to “Bring It” but she still has yet to “bring it” herself…trying to be a fake cross between Beyonce and Britney Spears. It’s a mess.

  4. Joi D'love

    Feelin Rihanna..Lil mama is WACK as always!

  5. Fatima

    I’m not feelin any of these but the Dream’s Rockin that thing is good.Just not any of the remixes.and why the hell bubba spparx coming back?aint like anybody missed him.

  6. Scooby

    I kinda like the Rihanna cut, she sounds good! What the hell was that lil’ mama track about. Bleh to everyone else lol!!

  7. J.A.

    feeling the Bubba Sparxx and Rihanna

  8. ILOVEAMERICA

    Get over the fact that rihanna said she was making a rock album! let her do what she wants, why do you want a black artist to have a more rock sound anyways, what ever happened to r&b singers singing smooth r&b kmt?

  9. Trey

    I Like the Rihanna track…
    Sounds very much like the fifties sock hop type music.

  10. DD

    Lil Mama Aint no Diva. She only sold 13,000 copies of her album. Girl lil mama will be dropped from Jive by the summer…hahaha

  11. Nothing But Love

    Wow! Bubba Sparxx is back. Can’t front…I did enjoy him.

  14. Dominique

    Ight imma need lil mama to get herself together. Luvin the rihanna song.

  15. lets just keep it one-hunnid

    Hey Brian, dont forget about Paul Wall! Atleast I don’t think he was ever compared to Em. (you are the music expert though!!! :) )

  16. Anywho…That Lil Mama track is HORRIBLE!

    That Rihanna track is HOT! I love the doo-wop feel to the song. It fits her weak voice, but the song is very fun & catchy. BTW: This song was supposed to be on the re-release of GGGB, but was dropped at the last minute.

    Dammit if I don’t like almost anything The Dream touches…and I LOVE Fab. This song is slick..it has a nice groove & I like the way Fab rides the beat.

    I’m kinda feeling the Bubba song. The beat is FIRE, I just wish the hook was better..it would’ve elevated the song much more.

  17. TRAGICBEAUTY

    LIL MAMA BEEN A SINGER
    SHE ALWAYS SANG
    BUT THE SONG DOES SOUND BRITNEYish

  31. ChicChic

    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh…sandcastle disco!!!!!! Rihanna sound like a Solange wannabe…enough said.

  32. adivaiam

    Rihanna sound is an imitation of 50′s and early 60′s sock hop….and not as good even vocally enhanced, please stop chile. The rest …why bother.

  33. keepitrealallthetime

    rihanna recorded this song way before solange album dropped, hatin on the club was going to be on good girl gone bad reloaded.

  34. LOVE THE RHI TRACK! THAT GIRL IS LIKE PLATINUM! EVERYTHING SHE TOUCHES TURNS TO PLATINUM! I LOVE THIS SONG, TOO CUTE!

  36. MWNY

    I like the Rihanna song I think it is cute.. She should have released it..

  37. arghh

    its funnyhow no one is sayin that lil mama copied beyoncé’s title WHILE IF IT WAS BEYONCE YOUR MINDS WOULD BE VERY SELECTIVE and suddenly u would remember like ‘oh beyoncé copied lil mama title this b!tch is such a copycat i dontknow maybe it will sound the same’ SMH

    anyway all those sh!t one word, whack!

  38. Lil’ Mama – Now if this had been Beyonce with another persons song title she would’ve been torn to shreds on all of these sites but you know what, it isn’t. The song is terrible. She definitely lost her mind, and she clearly has not a damn clue as to what a Diva is.

    Rihanna – I am still trying to figure out why she keeps attempting singing in her songs. Why does she do that? This is why people get so disappointed when her ass decides to perform them. She needs to do songs like Lady GaGa. The song is not that bad, I’ll rate it a B. Her voice just gets annoying after a while. And besides, this song is not new.

  39. REALeyes

    Lil Mama: WHAT THE HECK?? HER VOICE IS JUST SO DAMN ANNOYING..

    Rihanna: MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT THIS SONG.. LOVING THE BEAT, MAYBE IT’S JUST THE WAY SHE SOUNDS ON IT THAT’S GOT ME SAYING ‘HELL NO’..

    Dream: SOUNDS GOOD.. UNTIL I HEARD FAB!! WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING?? THAT SINGING MESS DOESN’T SOUND GOOD AT ALL..

    Bubba: LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT.. ON THAT GUTTA TIP.. GOTTA LOVE IT MAN, HE’S DOING IT UP NICE..

    REALeyes.

  40. Please tell me Lil Mama is kidding…

  41. REALeyes

    @42: DID YOU FORGET THAT THERE WERE 2 SONGS CALLED ‘Rehab’ AND NO ONE HAD AN ISSUE??

    REALeyes.

  42. REALeyes

    SORRY, I MEANT 44..

  43. kelvin

    that rihanna song is garbage . that shit sound like a musical. this girls light bulb is dimming very fast. i tried my hardest to see the best in little miss riri but i just cant see her halo, sorry i just dont see it.

  44. POETIC BLUE

    I can tell you EXACTLY what song LiL Mama jacked from Britney Spears… Radar and all them other songs on Britneys new album!!!
    I mean straight high jacked it lol… the singing.. the extra voices.. the beat… Dang mama is you that desperate? Your techniques did not work well enough for you? Guess not…

  45. Mrs. Purple Rain

    Hey Dream I see you jocking Kanye jocking Kanye. Lmao. Lame Ass. Yessir

  46. jamaica

    what was lil mama thinking………she is so irritating…….she’s a big flop

  47. Jai

    This Rihanna joint is garbage. SMH and why are people getting mad at Brian for stating the truth?? RIHANNA was the one telling people in interviews that her next album would be “edgy”. Don’t shoot the damn messenger because everything I’ve heard from her hasn’t been edgy at all. She should know what she’s talking about before she does a damn interview and there wouldn’t be any confusion about her musical direction.

  48. Focused1

    Lil Mama-She jacked Britney’s swag. It sounds like a cross between Circus and Radar. I don’t think the song is bad as others are saying though.

    Rihanna-Not bad, but not ipod worthy.

    The Dream- I don’t like it. His off key singing is annoying. Although he’s a good songwriter, I don’t get why gets so much love as solo artist. Same with T-Pain.

    Bubba Sparx-Not bad, but not ipod worthy. I agree with you Brian that he won’t ever get compared to Eminem, but you forgot about Paul Wall. He won’t either. I wonder what happened to him. He disappeared.

  49. let's not lie

    hmm where do i start
    it all sucked
    lil’ mama’s song is definitely a brit rip off
    rihanna’s song is too cutesy. clearly she left it off gggn reloaded b/c it’s not a good song
    the dream-didn’t care for it
    same for bubba
    where is all the good music?

  50. twaann

    even tho I CANT STAND THE DREAM I REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY CANT STAND HIM(HAMBERGLER CHOWDER MOUTH) HE HAS SOME DAMN GOOD PRODUCTION

    THE DREAM N BRANDY WOULD DO WONDERS

  51. twaann

    LIL MOMMA even though O’gurl (cant sing lol) this soNG IS SO SMART FOR HER SHE WOULD BLOW UP WITH THIS SONG BECAUSE ITS CATCHY AND HER LITTLE FAN BASE FROM THE SHOW THIS YA CHART TOPER MOMMAZ TAKE ADVANTAGE OR U’LL JUST BE __LIL WHO

  52. Tired

    I love ‘Hatin On The Club” its a great song and the ther track she has done with dream ” Livin A Lie” hmmmm. its makes you think about that partcular song and in her reality. LOL!

    Everything her and dream have collbarated on is good ”Breakin ” i stillI love it!

    One thing though WHAT was Lil Mama thinking, but hey she can sing. The backing vocal and all you can tell she has a voice. Its Unique. She should have came out as a Singer then a Rapper. It would have been more commercial/mainstream!

  53. Hmmm.

    @ 34. Adivaiam

    Rihanna sound is an imitation of 50’s and early 60’s sock hop….and not as good even vocally enhanced, please stop chile. The rest …why bother.

    I second that. I like ”Hating on the Club” but you can tell blatantly that it is ”Vocally Enhanced”

    We know she has swithced her carribean accent with twist of american. But when she says in the backing vocals and ” Oh Uh Oh,” Woahhh and Oooooo. It evident that it has been technically touched.

  54. MRS. SK8BOARD P (AK AND BK STAN)

    Lil’ Mama…. :lol:
    Rihanna…it’s okay..might grow on me
    Dream…it’s okay
    Bubba…glad he’s back, but not feeling the song

  55. 'All eyes on me in the centre of the ring' just like a Circus''...

    Rihanna has good tracks but seriously when it has even it hit the 2 mintue MARK , my ears banging and screaming . please Noooo! Stop…..

    A singer doesnt neeed to have a voice like a bird chirping or Beyonce or Mariah. I very much like variety in my music and differentiation between artists.

    Like Ciara hasnt got the hightest falsetto, but i can jam to her or Britney anyday without my Ears commiting suicide.!!! Its knowing the limits of your voice and just hitting it to that extent. Damn you dont have to prove you the number 1 singer. Its good being different and having a unique voice….

  56. Nina

    I don’t like Rihanna & The Dream’s song “Hatin on the club”. It sounds boring to me.

  57. jacci/nicole

    I personally think that all the songs were WACK! the only one that i think has the potiental to grow on me is BubbaSpraxx song. That lil momma track was weak and lame, Rihanna’s song was also bad (although compared to lil momma it was great). The Dream song was wack too…because he has no talent as a solo artist, although he is a grand song writter….Peace!
