In what seemed like at the very least a meager attempt at some humility, Diddy announced earlier in the month that he felt bad for fans affected by the economic recession, and pledged to stop wearing ridiculously expensive jewelry and clothing until the economy has recovered. But now it seems as if one of the world’s richest mouth-breathers has either decided to renege on his decision…
The latest hip thing to do is cover Britney Spears’ “Womanizer”, and Cologne,
Germany’s Timid Tiger does a great job of making the cover their own. Timid Tiger gives it a electric-hip hop-soul spin and for those of you who don’t like Britney, you may like their version instead.
Common, Eminem, 88 Keys, Q-Tip, Jazzanova. I have gotten my hands on music from the likes of the aforementioned artists recently and have blissfully reorganized my playlist, titled Random Dope. …
Welcome to the latest edition of the VIII, where, as before, I’ll be featuring eight different performers, currently on the move, whom I have enjoyed in the past, with a few recent discoveries as well.
Danny Ross, is a excellent pop vocalist and pianist, very similar in style to Norah Jones and Bens Fold Five with [...]
I’m kinda down right now. Y’see I just accepted that I’m the only person that I know who still buys albums. Actually I’m really saddened by the fact that most people look at me quizzically when I tell them I still buy albums. For some reason the general public (or at least those [...]
I’m gonna lay it out for you, Everlast. What people liked about your solo work was that it was stripped down, gritty, raw and acoustic. I’ll give you some credit for tryin’ to spread your wings a little, but this album is overproduced and it just doesn’t work for your style of songwriting. …

So, welcome to the first edition of VIII, where I will regularly feature eight performers or albums that are on the move, all of whom you should know about. …
The top story of the VMAs this year was Britney Spears, and only for the right reasons this time. She is back in her healthy form, looking balanced and happy, and I’m honestly thrilled that she’s back. She swept the awards after not winning in the past and I hope this is a sign of good things to come. …
Normally, I try to pay as little attention as possible to former American Idol star Clay Aiken and “Shake Your Bon Bon” Ricky Martin. The rumor mill/gossip has suggested, that perhaps, Aiken and Martin are gay. Recently, both Aiken and Martin have recently become fathers, both via artificial insemination to surrogate mothers. I believe that every celebrity deserves the right to have privacy in their personal lives, however, if you’re going to make moves such as this, why not go ahead and come out if you are indeed gay? It’s 2008, you can be out, I’m openly bisexual and out, does that make you feel any better guys? Just checking.
Elzhi’s album dropped this past Tuesday and I enjoy that fella’s flow immensely. Just couldn’t cop it. However, I was able to, in its absence, get my hands on Saul Williams’ The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust for the low low price of a utilized gift certificate. …
