New Music: Ron Isley (Featuring Lauryn Hill!) & Choklate Featuring Drake

The IPS — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 19:34:06 +0000

Ron Isley is fresh out of jail, and is about to put out a new album called Mr. I, which is due sometime in September. He’s put out numerous joints over the years as a solo act and also with his famous brothers, but Mr. I features Ron amongst some of the heavyweights of the [...] Related posts:

Twista Wants To Make A Movie, And We Aren’t Talking PG-13 Either

The IPS — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 19:04:47 +0000

I have always liked Twista. I have. Ever since the Do or Die days. And then “Slow Jams” and all of that. Then, I just kind of stopped caring? I remember this song leaked a while ago and I think it featured Lloyd and Chamillionaire, but now, we get this version with just Chris Brown. And [...] Related posts:

Classic Flashback: Billy Preston – “Will It Go Round In Circles”

The IPS — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 18:27:35 +0000

Oh yeah, I gets down with Billy Preston! The fro ALONE makes this clip worth it. Billy Preston was one of the baddest organ players ever, and had a string of hits himself in addition to being called “The 5th Beatle“. He passed not too long ago sadly, but I was absentmindedly singing this song [...] Related posts:

Willow Smith Has Whipped Up A Frenzy Over Her New Single

The IPS — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 18:10:52 +0000

Willow Smith has the internet going NUTS with this new song of hers, “Whip My Hair”. How this 9 year old comes out near her idol Rihanna’s premier and overshadows her says a lot to me. However, the Jukebox-produced “Whip My Hair” is a catchy affair, laced with pretty age-appropriate lyrical stylings and some decently [...] Related posts:

Loving Bruno Mars And This “Just The Way You Are” Video…

The IPS — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 14:49:14 +0000

What a fresh talent man. Bruno Mars on the solo tip is really making me stand up and pay attention. His ear for melodies is great, and they’re catchy without you feeling dirty — you know, like after you listen to a Katy Perry or Ke$ha song. Pop sensibilities with real substance so to speak.

Trey Songz Gives “Face” In The “Can’t Be Friends” Clip

The IPS — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 19:55:45 +0000

Like I said, I know I am not Trey Songz’s targeted audience, so this video really does nothing for me. However, I laughed a couple of times throughout and especially at the end because his “angry emotional” faces were absolutely sending me through the roof and beyond HA! The cut frame effect was kind of [...] Related posts:

New Music: Foreign Exchange, JoJo, And A-Natural!

The IPS — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 18:34:54 +0000

The Foreign Exchange have an excellent (though not as exciting as I hoped) new single called “Maybe She’ll Dream Of Me”. It features Nicolay on the boards and Phonte on the vocals and also spitting. After just seeing them live again recently, I’m excited about new material from them. “Maybe She’ll Dream Of Me” is [...] Related posts:

Ne-Yo’s “One In A Million” Is Really Just About Him Wanting To Dance…

The IPS — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 17:19:06 +0000

Ne-Yo wanted to show off all of his new-found choreography skills. I gotta hand it to him, he’s keeping it tight and on point and lockstep in this video. But again, in this kind of singles driven market, his approach to his Libra Scale album is getting a bit lost in translation. All of these videos [...] Related posts:

Classic Flashback: James Brown – “The Big Payback”

The IPS — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 16:52:31 +0000

This man was amazing. I knew this, but just watching this clip had me all wrapped up! James Brown was a bandleader, dancer, choreographer, singer, songwriter, and just all around a prolific artist. And the music?! “The Big Payback” is one of my favorite songs, and of course it has been sampled often by the [...] Related posts:

OK. R. Kelly…Though It’s The End Of The Summer, “Fireworks” Works

The IPS — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 13:59:16 +0000

R. Kelly is really out to a) collect his record advances b) prove that he IS one of the greatest c) make us forgive & forget d) fulfill his contract — I’m not sure which one of those it is, but I do know that he is putting out 3 albums, yes THREE, before the [...] Related posts:
