♫ Kid Cudi feat. Kanye West & Common – I Poke Her Face (full) – listen
Kid Cudi gets on top of Lady GaGa’s acoustic version of her #1 Billboard hit, “Poker Face” with Kanye West and Common, which I originally loved when I heard it. I can appreciate the new version, it’s very interesting and I like the way the sampled Lady GaGa’s vocal. I guess my question is: will this make Kid Cudi’s album? Last I heard, he still had people submitting tracks. Cudi needs to strike while the iron is hot!

♫ Mario – Come Back to Me (full) – listen
I’ve always been a fan of Dre & Vidal’s productions, so I’m glad to hear Mario working with them. Their songs are always so smooth, they have such a laid back sound, even with their upbeat tracks. “Come Back to Me” is from Mario’s latest recording sessions. I’m hoping that Dre & Vidal have contributed more to the album, I think they have a really great sound.

♫ Chingy feat. Stacee – She Git It In (full) – listen
New music from Chingy, who I’ve heard is currently recording a new album in Atlanta. I’d be lying if I said that I wasn’t a little confused about what Chingy’s situation is, as far as labels. Chingy previously was on Ludacris’ Disturbing tha Peace label, but later tried to detach himself from the brand, but with his last couple of projects, he’s been with Ludacris again. In any event, “She Get It In” isn’t necessarily my favorite. I think that Chingy needs to fill that void that Nelly’s left with a more pop-tinged sound.

♫ Usher – Secrets (full) – listen
It’s been said that Usher is working on a new project to put out this year, where he is working with The Neptunes and Adam Levine. Good thing, too, considering that major disappointment with Here I Stand. “Secrets” may be from these new sessions, but it also could be leftover material from his last album. The track is, again, produced by Dre & Vidal, and although it’s a little more uptempo, it still carries that same laid back sound.

  3. MonicasMan

  7. erin

    i loveeee poke her face

  8. plat. plat.

    I was sleep on Mario until, Music For Love, now I stay on him. His smooth quality vocals and range are the best. nice song.

  9. FREQUENCY528

    Wow that Poker Face song was really raunchy. I thought Kid Cudi was different, guess not. I also see that Common clearly sold out. All that consciousness went out the window when the money got low. These guys will do anything for Fame even if it means dumbing themselves down and subjecting the masses to trash, smdh.

    The Mario song is nice.

  10. Mutada al sader the king

    Brian I agree with you 100%, Dre and Vidal are two of the best producers to do it today and I hope that they do work with Mario and actually put his great voice to use.

    They have done tons of classic stuff

  11. Usher Raymond

    I wonder do celebrities ever post on these blogs………..

  12. BAARBIEE

    onlii song i like on here is marios

  13. Shawn08

    i love USHER!!! Loved HIS LAST CD!!!! It was Highly SLEPT on!!!!

  14. lol

    GET READY!!!! FINALLY NEW MUSIC I CAN ROCK 2…CHINGY ‘S GONNA HAVE TO GROW ON ME THOUGH…

  15. s. dot ann

    Love Mario’s voice! This song is cool. I just want him to pick it up with a more uptempto song. Chingy needs to find a 9-5, ASAP! Usher needs to shave. lol Still love his sound and his music. I agree that people, including myself, slept on his last album. I actually liked all of his singles so far. Just didnt buy the album for some reason.

  16. Tiff.Will. [Jayonce Fanatic]

    I am not too fond of that Poker Face remix. Lady Gaga KILLED that track and it needed absolutely no help. “PA PA PA POKER FACE PA PA POKER FACE..MUH MUH MUH MAH!”

    I don’t usually like that kind of music but it’s hot. So is Love Games by Lady GaGa.

  17. Ms. G thang

    Am i going to be the first to say how hot kid cudi is.

  18. MEME

    OMG…can you guys please stop sayin how dissappointing Usher album was…I mean how many artist these days go platinum and have a #1 single with a album. Exactly my point.

  19. LoveMuffin

    I agree with #9. I totally thought Kid was diff. and WTF @ Common. I used to love his music but idk. Money got low and morals went out the window.

    The Mario joint is cool but it’s quite slow for my liking.

    Showwww Me STATEEEE!! But Chingy is an embarrassment to the Lou. He needs to sit down. That sucked.

    Usherrrrrrr NO!

  20. yessir

    ‘I poke her face’ is hot garbage.I ts also a bit surprising to see Common on a track talking about poking a woman with his dick in the face. The usher song is mediocre. what happened to that fire he used to come with?

  21. YEAH KID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    kid cudi is a BEAST and his latest mixtape ‘A KID NAMED KUDI’ was FIYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    he’s all i really care for really on this post..
    even tho i luv the rest of the artists.

    however, usher dissappointed me wit that here i stand mess.

  22. Tonya

    I agree with you # 13 Usher’s last album was slept on i think too many people are comparing it to confessions which is a classic…he will prolly never be able to put out anything to touch that but here i stand was a solid album in my opinion…i cant wait for the new album!

  23. ...

    New Brandy song “Love Me The Most”

  24. ...

    eww at Kid Cucci.. FILTH.

  25. missinclineto LA

    Brian…I love you to death, but please STOP saying that “Here I Satnd” was a flop. Anytime you sell close to 15 million albums for one album anything after that will most likely be a commercial failure by anyones standards. Now, don’t get me wrong “Confessions” is, was and will always be a classic R&B album but if you really take the time to listen to “Here I Stand”, you will see how great that album was as well. We all have our opinions, which is what we are entitled to as individuals and I personally think that Usher’s last CD is, was and will always be the hotness too. Mind you, I don’t think he’s the greatest entertainer ever, but I’m a singer, so I know when someone can sang and not just hold a tune and Usher is defintely one of the best out here right now. Stay sweet and please don’t be pissed at me…LOL! Just take time to listen to the music and the grown man content. Muah!!!

    Apparently Lady Gaga was scheduled to be on Jamn9.45. She had a list of questions which were not to be asked; the meaning of ‘Poker Face’ being one of them. Needless to say the interview was cancelled. She wrote that song with the intended subliminal message ‘Poker Her Face’ in it, at one point in the song she actually says “fu*ck her face”.

    It’s quite obvious she didn’t want to be responsible for the vulgar message so she let this thirsty phony ‘artist’ take it along with the slack. Now when she’s asked about the song’s true meaning she’ll simply put it on the puppet Cudi and the rest of those losers who rapped on it. This song is porn on a cd, wow. It’s no wonder the original by Gaga has been banned in certain countries. Is this what the music industry has become? We are being bombarded with sexually explicit lyrics and music, some subliminal which have a far greater affect on the conscious mind. This music requires no thought it appeals to our lower levels, making some easliy controlled and conditioned.

    shut up

    @ CBREESIE007

    There is nothing “beast” about Kid Cudi. Im sick and tired of people calling him new, fresh and innovative. His music has the same exact material that every other artist has out there. He’s rapping about aliens, space, robots, and the moon. I can name you 5 songs that have the word ‘moon’ in it and countless other songs referencing aliens and space or spaceships. Can’t you guys see there is no originallity in the industry, and that you are being programmed to think a certain way??

    I used to think Janelle Monae was on some new ish untill I realized how many other people are talking about the same exact things she is, whether its Pop, R&B, or Hip Hop. It’s all the same, no originality. I wouldn’t be surprised if these ‘artists’ are handed a list of things they have to sing or rap about as soon as they sign that contract. What happend to the REAL artists?

  29. Tay

    I dont know about kudi verse but kanye killed his joint

  30. tammy

    usher sound great to bad this song didnt make it to his last one maybe he might put it on his new one that is coming out in the summertime.

  31. Lacy

    Beat a girl ,than stand in court like a little punk …He looks scared out of his “panties”

  32. MRS. SK8BOARD P (AK & BK STAN)

And im one natural {nappy and proud}, afro-centric, political sistah.The song is nasty and funny and its for entertainment purposes plain and simple… ppl get over yourself, sit back, and enjoy the music for wat it is…

  36. LBAD

    @35
    i agree why everyone tryna be music snobs “artists these days are not original” when half the time its the fact that they go mainstream what bothers people…shut the hell up it’s not that deep!

  37. jackdarippa

People Want Innovative Hits. Nice song but no Singles are up here…… all ablum fillers… scrap chingy’s all together.

  38. crunkpoet

    omg its just a damn song…..having a lil fun….let a CONSCIOUS rapper do ONE DAMN THING that people dont agree on and its all this and all..gosh!! i like the song..its funny….people dont have a sense of humor for things like that……

    i am liking all the Mario stuff leaking..

    Chingy and Usher do need sit the F0ok down cards….

  39. Greatestloveofall

    “Poke Her Face”?! ROTL. More Lady GaGa bandwagon jumping.

    I like GaGa but she seems to be another Madonna copycat just like Gwen Stefani.

  40. max

    Gwen Stefani is not a Madonna copycat. Gwen is actually talented, and not just popular because of publicity stunts and lackluster musical ability.

    And why does Concrete Loop constantly calling Usher’s album Here I Stand a disappointment? It did not sell as well as his previous cds, but it is a good album nonetheless.

  41. TheMan

    Sorry no matter how you spin it, “here I stand” was a huge disappointment. It barely went Platinum and had only one hit, although i actually enjoyed the cd. Same with Mariah’s last cd. Platinum for someone like them is a disappointment, especially when you look at the money it costs to produce and promote artist of there stature. They didn’t even have big singles, where as some like Rihanna sold over 2 million cd’s and over 6 million downloads of her singles, thats a success.

  42. KAYBEEZ

    Kid Cudi song is nice

  43. Jamie8706

    They only so ng I liked was Kid Cudi

  44. SweetThang729

    Although it’s a lil’ disrespectful to women, I like the Kid Cudi song

    I actually like this mario track, wasn’t feeling previously posted ones

    and the usher one is taking so long to load, I refuse to wait to hear it

  45. haha

    i liked a few songs from ushers last one i dont know why that girl whats up didnt take off that was hot

  46. J*Marie

    Really Common? really??? and no this song is VERY disrespectful to women not a little. I don’t care if this is for “kicks and giggles” this song is hot garbage.

  47. Asouthernpeach

    WACK! WACK! WACK! all of’em.

  48. A

    poker face is raunchy i agree with above i expected somethin different from cudi

  49. The Qboro Don!

    I poke her face is an cool alternative from some of rap’s new (CUDI) and consistant artists ( Common and Yeh). Some of the responses posted here are a tad bit critical for something so small and harmless. Honestly, how will this song make or break any of your bank accounts???? I thought so…just love it or leave it alone.

    The Usher track is cool
    Mario’s track is So-So
    Chingy’s………………….(Flat Line)

  50. @ PLAINSIGHT

    Ehem…correction, its CBREEZIE007 not CBREESIE007. Anywho, just because he calls himself ‘man on the moon’ doesn’t mean his music is all abt that. he isn’t like everyone else. if you don’t like him, then why waste ur time writing abt him in the first place? My point exactly. But yeah, i never asked for ur input or from anyone else. i mean, i could careless abt watchu think..cuz you got ur opinion and i have mine..so don’t try to put me ON BLAST just cuz you don’t care for him and i think that he is the next big thing. You have to understand that music isn’t the way it used to be. ‘REAL’ music has ben gone for a long time, but there are a couple who still bring it in the air waves at radio stations and albums.

  51. @ PLAINSIGHT

    o and wow, just 5 songs!!!! who really cares. you wasted ur time listenin in for that?????????????? you really have no life. ’nuff said’

  52. erin

    i’m so sick of this its disrespectful to women bull crap.
    who has not said or done something disrespectful to a women in lyrics these days.
    the kid cudi so is hot.
    so the ones that oppose its “disrespectful nature” need to get poked in the face!
