We were one of the first sites to give you the exclusive news about the new R&B group TGT. Well now we are the first to hit you up with their remix of Tank’s hit, “Please Don’t Go.”
If you can’t hear the audio, please update your flash player. Thank you.
Tyrese, Ginuwine, and Tank have been working hard on their new album and don’t forget that the men are throwing a “SHIRTS OFF” Tour this fall. Word is, ALL men will be banned from the concert - WOMEN ONLY!! Can’t wait to hear some more from them.
Kanye West - Stronger (full) - download
I think I might just like this song because of the sample of “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” by Daft Punk, which just happens to be one of my favorites. Kanye sounds good too, I just think this is an overall nice song. I wasn’t really listening to the words, because I was so focused on how he sampled this song. I just think it’s very interesting what we’re using these days to be more innovative.
Rihanna - Haunted (full) - download
This is a bonus track that leaked from Rihanna’s “Good Girl Gone Bad.” I can totally see why this was left off of the album. It doesn’t really fit the overall feel of the album, beside it being a dance record. This song just seems like Rihanna hitting the studio to have a little fun. After listening to Rihanna’s album, I can completely appreciate what she’s trying to do, aside from her voice not really doing anything for me. But “Haunted” is definitely album-filler leftovers.
This new song really goes hard, I love it. Everybody snaps, I even love the simplicity of the production. I recieved a lot of e-mails about this song just today. I am really interested to see who’s project this goes on, Lupe Fiasco’s, or Kanye’s new album. To me, it just seems right that the 3 of them would get on a track together. I am really eager to get the production credits on this song as well. It sounds like it could possible be one of Pharrell’s productions, but I’m not exactly sure. Either way, I’m digging this song. It’s a good look for the three of them.

The hype behind Jagged Edge’s last album died down quickly and was supposed to be revived with the release of the single “Stunnas,” but that was short-lived as well. But it seems as though the group is back, and quite surprisingly, with an Ashanti guest feature. I am not, nor have I ever been a fan of Jagged Edge, but I could help but move a little around in my seat when I previewed the song. I like the feel, don’t neccessarily know what they’re saying, but it’s something about the groove of the song that I can appreciate. I’m assuming that Jermaine Dupri produced it, because like most of the songs he produces, he makes an announcement at the beginning, heh. Let me know what you think.

With all these new tracks leaking from Kelly’s album, I’m actually starting to believe that “Ms. Kelly” is going to be released. This new song, “Work (Put It In)” was originally slated for the first single, according to the Music World site, but I guess they though that “Like This” would have been a better hit, and I kind of agree, even though it took me a while to get into it. It has been said that Solange wrote on this song, and I had no idea, at first, that it featured Fat Joe. I don’t think he adds much to the son. I’m not quite sold of “Work (Put It In)” but perhaps it will grow on me, just like “Like This” did. Let me know what you think of this in comparison to Kelly’s other material.

Besides the fact that R. Kelly looks absolutely ridiculous on the cover of this album, and besides the fact that R. Kelly hasn’t been on trial for “allegedly” (we have to say that) having sex with that underaged girl, people really are giving the R&B thug his love this time around. I, for one, am not fooled. Sure, you cannot deny that R. Kelly has been blowing up radio with hits, on every single remix imaginable and all over MTV, BET and whatever else. But with all of his music, and all the hype, I just can’t get into the fact that this man is on tape, urinating on some girl’s face and people still sing his praises, and he’s still selling albums. Maybe it’s just me, but that’s extremely backwards.
R. Kelly’s “Double Up” goes on sale sometime within the next week. Go out and buy it if you support child molestation and pedophilia. ‘Cause if you stand for nothing, you’ll fall for anything…
Tank - Come Back to Me (full) - download
If this was the direction in which Tank’s album was going to go, I would have suggested that this song be placed on the album. But Tank’s new album, “Sex, Love & Pain,” which, according to SoundScan and billboard.com debuted at #2 it’s first week (and #1 on the R&B/Hip Hop Album charts), is very ballad-heavy, besides the 2-year-old “I Like Them Girls,” produced by Timbaland, which appears at the end of the album as a bonus track. I like this track, but I can definitely see why it was left off the album. I think Tank needs to release another album soon.
Mario - Why (snippet) - download
Mario has got a voice on him. And I’m glad that this snippet has leaked, because besides “Go!” (produced by The Neptunes) and “Crying Out For Me” (produced by Polow Da Don), I haven’t been impressed with much from the album, especially the new single, “How Do I Breathe.” This snippet, reportedly produced by The Underdogs, who have been sitting pretty since producing the Dreamgirls soundtrack, virtually in its entirety, is a good look for Mario. I’m hoping that this new album can erase the bad taste the last one left in my mouth.
