Music Monday Part 1

Let's get into it.....

Jamie Foxx feat. Drake, The Dream, and Kanye - "Digital Girl REMIX"
I've kinda been feeling Drake lately, I have to admit I hated on him at first because Wayne just piggy backed him into the game, but he's growing on me.



Lil Wayne feat. Young Money - "Sacrifice"
I didn't put him on here last week on purpose but I love the beat and weird hook...


Part 2 in a little bit

Jamie Foxx - Unstoppable

Watching Jamie Foxx mentoring on America Idol this week sealed it for me: he’s the best entertainers in Hollywood. He was so helpful and true with the contestants, it was eye-opening. It really just served a reminder that this guy is one of the top dogs in entertainment, and it shows.

Supremely talented, Foxx has literally done everything in show business, from comedy to acting to music – and he’s excelled at all of them. He started out has a comedian, doing stand-up and becoming legendary on In Living Color (Handdddyyymannnn!). After he blew up on ILC, he was given his own show, The Jamie Foxx Show, in 1996 and appeared in his first movie, Booty Call, a year later.

His big break was his role as Steamin’ Willie Beamen in Any Given Sunday. He’s since starred or co-starred in the critically acclaimed Collateral, Ray, and Dreamgirls, winning an Academy Award and being nominated for another.

He’s been nominated for Grammys and Oscars.

"Blame it - Remixxx" - Jamie Foxx ft. Busta Rhymes, Lil Wayne, and T-pain

"Number One"- The Game
Kills it lyrically


"Hustlers Dream" - The Game
Game kills it and Anthony Hamilton makes any song better....that is the reason for the back to back Game.

Not sure how I feel about how Jay Rock sounds, but he's been flooding mixtapes lately

I like Flo-rida and it is my music column, nuff said. But to be real this song has been out for a little bit but its more complete now with Pleasure P (whoever that is)


"Decisions" - Busta Rhymes ft. Jamie Foxx, Mary J Blige, Common, & John Legend
How can you not post a song with Ms. Mary J. Blige on it with these dudes...


"To the Moon" - Usher
Wanted to throw something different up here for y'all...Usher has always been fire to me.
