♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫

April 26th, 2009

♫ Diddy feat. Yung Joc – Diddy Bop (full) – listen
Check out this new material from none other than Diddy. He’s been working diligently on his new album, Last Train to Paris. Although I don’t think that this track is making the cut on the album, Puff has been mentioning the “Diddy Bop” via his Twitter page. I’m sure there are some videos of him floating around in the studio doing the dance.

♫ Cassie – Not What Love Is (full) – listen
Cassie is currently working on her forthcoming sophomore project, which is slated to hit stores sometime at the end of the summer or early fall. It seems like material is leaking left and right, but she’s been working with a slew of people this time around, which is a lot different from the last album. As a matter of fact, not much material has had the Ryan Leslie on NextSelection brand attached to it. “Not What Love Is” is another song from the batch of tracks that have leaked from her sessions.

♫ Electrik Red feat. Ludacris – We Fuck You (Remix) (full) – listen
Electrik Red has been getting plenty love on their new single, “So Good,” as well as with the remix with Lil’ Wayne, so it seems as though their album, How to Be A Lady: Volume 1 will see it’s Def Jam release of May 26th. “We Fuck You” seems to be the fourth single that the girls will release from the album, which was written and produced by Tricky Stewart and The Dream, who actually did the entire album.

♫ Shareefa feat. Ray L. – Can’t Stop Luv’n U (full) – listen
DTP’s artist Shareefa has been quiet for a minute, until the end of last year, when she dropped two new songs, that actually weren’t half bad. The new song, featuring Konvict Music’s Ray Lavender samples from “Love Ballad,” which was originally performed by L.T.D., and was also used in Ciara’s track from her Goodies, “The Title.” Shareefa’s material always seems to put me in a mood, I hope that she’s actually working on a new album.

    I seriously dont even know why Cassie bothers, and to be honest i can’t even take her seriously after she shaved off half of her hair.

    apparently dawn from Dk is part of a new group/band consisting of her, Diddy and some songwriter and they’re called Dirty Money (i think). Diddy is totally useless as an artist I don’t even get why he still creates albums he has no talent whatsoever

    Cassie needs to give it up I don’t think she has 1 fan! Who listens to her music? No one

    Elektric red, apart from being half decent dancers they pretty much have no talent, haven’t liked anything I’ve heard from them.

    Diddy Bop= Garbage.

    Cassie song= TRASH…. just another “pop-ish” song to try to capture both white and black audiences… When will people understand you CAN’T capture both… SMH… just keep music REAL.

    I miss the 90′s when music was the best :(

    Ok, I liked ‘Diddy Bop’ when I heard it on the MTB4 show. To be more specific, I like everything about the song except when Diddy serves words. I like Electrik Red and ‘So Good’, but I can’t get w/this song.

    @Cokebaby: You’re wrong. My site just-cassie.de has 1000 visitors a day. And I didn’t even counted during the last 3 months so it’s probably more now. Take that!

    I like all songs, that Diddy joint isn’t bad, Cassie’s is nice to chill and kinda throwbackish. Elektric Red song is hot and Shareefa’s isn’t bad either.

    Nice picks, Brian!

    1. Cassie-please stop it
    2. Diddy ?

    3. ER-I need and ER (Emergency Room) ASAP. Whoever your A&R is should stop wasting company time and money… DEF JAM this is the best you can do for a female group (NO TALENT). You’re telling me that this is Electrik Red 4th video, 4th single SAD! And the CD hasn’t dropped yet. Somebody needs to be Donald Trumped as you may say FIRED!!!!! What has this industry come to? This ladies has some talent just not singing. Ladies Stick to Video dancing you might have better chance at staying alive. Clearly this is not working for you guys. Vulgar language has no staying power after your album drop so will you. Just a matter of time SORRY.

    I like the Cassie song, minus her singing. ( if that makes sense)

    Seriously, her songs aren’t too bad. Her voice is just flipping horrible.

    Leave the singing to the pros! I’m sure she can find something else she’s good at!

    So your album is entitled “How To be a lady” and you have a song entitled “We fuck you”? Thats a bit ironic to say the least. Anyway they suck. RichGirl is so much more talented.

    My Opinion

    I’m feeling the Diddy Bop…watch this climb on the charts.

    Cassie’s song sounds boring….NEXT>>>>>

    Elektrik Red might steal Pussy Cat fan base, since they ain’t poppin, Keri put them on blast.

    Shareefa sounds like the rest of the girls in the industry but I wish her the best.

    Both Diddy and Cassie sound desperate. The Diddy bop is just a bunch of crap. I really wish both he and Cassie would bop their a$$es out of the studio and stop making such garbage.

    Yea cassie whoever told u that hair cut was cute lied boo boo. u look a whole mess and a half. Focus on modeling and take a break, come back with a couple of hits and maybe we’ll think about paying attention. Until then keep spending that diddy dough.

    Wow these were some hot jams. I liked them in this order;
    4) CASSIE- her track was aight but imma pass.
    3) SHAREEFA- I remember her first track that hit the scene, this seems so different but it’s a cool track. I like it, needs a few more plays before I love it but Ray’s vocals are crazy on here. Their voices mesh well 2gether.
    2) ELECKTRIC- Luda on any track makes it hot. But this is the biz.
    1) DIDDY- I don’t even like Diddy that much but this track is pure fiyah. He got me doing the chicken dance up in here.
