Game Spits. Jay Gives.

Remember The Sean Bell verdict?

David Banner, The Game, Talib Kweli, among others have been open about their disgust at the verdict[along with the staff here at PMqn; Atlanta]. The Game released a new track-"911 is a joke" his own tribute to Sean Bell. Now Jay-Z is giving his response. Jay-Z has established an educational trust for the children of Sean Bell. Jay-Z is reportedly closely working with Sean Bell's widow, Nicole Paultre Bell, to institute the trust funds for both of their children.

[THE GAME TRIBUTE TO SEAN BELL]



You might remember Nicole Bell being involved in Jay-Z's Rocawear "I Will Not Lose" campaign that caused indignation within the NYPD's Benevolent Association about 2 years back.

Toby Lightman.
I was first introduced to this woman back in highschool
via MTv by way of this song: devils and angels. This was one of
the first white women that i had heard with such a soulful voice.
i looked forward to seeing this video time after time.
being an artist i can also appreciate the video itself: enjoy


For those of you who don't know already,
I am a HUGE fan of live music. think its closest to the best.
So as a follow up of the video devils and angels. I am happy to

Lil' Ms. Rehab herself
strikes gold once again. Proving [yet again] that sobrity has nothing to do with good hits. Guess it's the 'Rick James effect' lmao. A very sublte and kinda sorta uplifting breakup-you did me wrong song. Does Amy seem to be Alicia Keys evil twin? lol, it would seem. Press Play and see what I mean.

Press Play: Freedom

Okay after this im going to get off of my soapbox.
Solange, has been talented for awhile.
im sure its a lil harder to make a name for yourself in the shadows
of Ms. Carter. But she is talented. Solo star was not a destiny's child
but it was a start. A look into what this lady has to offer.
With that being said i refuse to post any Solo Star songs because when you go out
and search and find them on your own, you'll feel better that you see for yourself what i mean.

What i am going to do is give you this jazz-ish record of
Ms. Knowles to listen to. Freedom.

take a bow | last time | take you down [chicago]

These three are consistantly making major moves.
turning out good music time after time.
truthfully the ri ri song was not one of my favorites.
it was one that had to grow on me. Seeing the video help move that process along. I am even more in love with Rihanna than i was back in the pon de replay days. Of course Leon was the one who ridiculed me about not knowing that she had that cluster of stars on the back of her neck, but so what [lol]. Her entire look is priceless.


Trey, you did it with this one.
i'd been hearing this song on the radio for a few weeks now. Mistakenly assuming this was some new guy in the music game,wrong. Truthfully again, i have never been a big Trey Songz fan. Not that he's not good at what he does, just that i never really took to him like i did to other artist. Fast foward a few years [today] i have been really feeling Trey. A force to be reckoned with i believe. This video is nice, not the boring ish that some ppl [who shall remain nameless] have been giving in the video department. My only issue with Trey now is how child like his appearace is. Guess that's just something i'm going to have to deal with, being a Trey fan now huh?


Not too much i can say about this one here.
He has always been talented to me, or at least marketable. I remember my first time ever seeing Chris's name was back in the summer of 2005. "He's the next Usher" is what alot of people were saying. I'd like to respectfully disagree and follow up with "He's not the next Usher, but the first Chris Brown" [no homo]. I dont like everything that he makes but he's doing a darn good job at doing his job, which is something we all can resepect. Add to that i dont really see what serious competition he has at this time. Do You?
