  1. Yes it really was! I picked other only because I felt like John Legends debut was Amazing!!! Im not sure why it wasn't listed as a choice. But "get lifted" was amazing. 2005 was R&B's last hoorah.
  2. Again is a great track. But it hasn't aged well. CBTM actually sounds more modern and it was recorded four years earlier. CBTM is played on quiet storm shows to this day for a reason. Vocally Again is better, as a matter of fact its one of Janet's best recorded vocals period. But when folks talk about Janet's harmonies they are basically talking about CBTM. The layered vocals are gorgeous. So for me, CBTM wins.
  3. Extant If started off slow, but the pace has finally picked up. Its finally getting good.
  4. Nobody sent for Jose. The bitch was turned all the way up out the gate. And security was wrong for letting her go as far as she did.
  5. En Vogue for the album cover alone!!! But TLC and SWV all slayed with their releases as well.
  6. Janet and Prince would be EPIC!!!!! Janet and Madonna would also be Epic!!!!! As quiet as its kept.
  7. Many of those countries that are heavily populated with "white folks" spent centuries stealing, pillaging and stripping the "bad/useless" countries of all their goods, resources and PEOPLE. Now here we are in the modern world and the dominate countries are creating bias list that place them at the top and the countries they stole from at the bottom. None of this is a coincidence. Even when its not about race, its about race.
  8. Justin and Jennifer's albums are not R&B. They had strong R&B leaning but they were pop albums. I picked Full Moon.
  9. So all the best countries are european and heavily populated by white folks, and all the "bad/useless" countries are all populated by people of color? Da fuk outta here with that bullshit.
  10. Beyonce's performance was good. She showed all those other hoes how it should have been done. Even if it was recycle from her tour it's expected. She could not have put together a new performance this quick. That takes weeks of prep. And she was still on tour three weeks ago so it wasn't gonna happen. What was surprising was how folks in the audience, both celebs and non celebs knew so many of the lyrics to these songs. That speaks to the fact that her latest album has connected very well with the public. It will be nominated for album of the year, and truthfully, it should win. I will never STAN for that hoe like this again, but facts are facts.
  11. And she did a good job with it too. Too bad the song was wack. But the video spoofed hip hop culture very well.
  12. No objectification is not okay, but your argument was that she was challenging the ideal "skinny" beauty standard. My opinion was that was not what she was doing. She went porn to sell records. But since she was gonna sell sex, why not flip it and objectify male body parts the way sir mix-a-lot did phat asses in his video? Instead she objectified herself. Which she has a right to do. But don't try and give her credit for more than that
  13. I see where you're going but i disagree. J-lo and beyonce already pushed that point, and both did it with better videos and music. Nicki's buzz singles weren't creating any buzz so she pulled out her best "assets" and now she's the hype. From a business standpoint she was smart....i guess. artistically not so much. Ultimately the song and video are a send up to "Baby got back" which actually lyrically took to task the ideal standard of beauty. Nicki's video is still the objectification of women, which is an old hip hop standard and cliche. If she really wanted to flip the script she would have made a video objectifying male body parts. Especially since the song is called ANACONDA.
  14. Floyd is a douchebag but 50 no sense and the breakfast club are shameful, hateful human beings. Illiteracy is not a joke or something to shame someone for. Many grown men and women in the industry have made millions but can't read. This speak to a bigger problems in our school systems when a person can continue to be passed along not knowing how to read. My Grandfather is 77 years old and never learned to read. Granted he dropped out in 3rd grade to help pick cotton in the fields of Mississippi. It was common for black people in the 1940s not to complete school. But his struggle was a family secrete that he was very ashamed of. He can read better now than in the 80s and 90s when I was a child, but not by much. My point is, its a real problem that should not be made light of.
  15. I wouldn't say she could do better, but she should have properly vetted him before they were married and had children.
  16. See, this is what happens when you don't do a thorough background check before you impregnate a bitch.
  17. That's my favorite song on the album. The video was lovely.
  18. Izaak Smith is handsome though. He can pass for Timb with the right clothing .
  19. they just refuse to cast anybody darker than a paper bag. I mean, homegirl looks nothing and I do mean nothing like Missy.
  20. http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/music/danity-kane-breaks-violent-studio-fight-article-1.1896788 It got VERY MESSY!
