"What's the point of waiting anymore/ 'Cuz girl I've never been more sure [That baby it's youJustin Timberlake from "My Love"
As much as I hate to admit this, Justin Timberlake's new single "My Love" featuring T.I. is that joint right now. After the Janet Jackson situation, I lost some respect for J.T. like nearly everyone else. Through it all, there's no denying his talents. He's a cold white boy, period!
As for T.I., he has officially crossed that line-and it's not a bad thing. The industry, whether motion picture or music, know's a star when they see him/her and I don't believe this will alter how his gangsta is percieved at all. It's his moment for as long as he wants it to be right now. Get that money Tip. Some questioned this move but I see no wrong in it.

On "My Love" Justin's able to take us into a place that other pop artists attempt to venture into but have come out unsuccessful, as he provides a legitimate old-school soul feeling that actually passes the test. It was even more ingenious to throw T.I. on the track (musta been Timberland's idea) because the grit he provides on the track is evident. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that Timberland is resposible for the production on this one.
Tim's killing the beat as usual with his abiltiy to talk to us through his synth, I know it's been a minute but he's still on it. I'm not sure what the thinking was behind Justin's Ready Rock C imitation on top of the beat but it worked somehow?
This is a well put together track and Jon B., I mean Justin, has dropped a jewel on us.
And don't forget to pick up Young Dro's Best Thang Smokin today, Grand Hustle is officially under the spotlight today.

As you probably know by now, the Video Music Awards will be televised live on MTV Thursday night (August 31st, 2006). Proudly representing Houston at this year's VMAs--Beyonce and Chamillionaire.
That's it.
Beyonce is up for "Best R & B Video" ("Check on It") while Chamillionaire's nominated in the "Best Rap Video" category for that monster of jam known as "Ridin'".
Is it just me or is there a big oversight here? Three-6-Mafia's "Stay Fly" is categorized as Hip-Hop while "Ridin'"--which Bun and Pimp should really be receiving royalty checks for--is labeled "Rap" in the VMA nominations list. I wonder if the difference has anything to do with the amount of coke references in per song / video.
Anyhow, Paul Wall's "Sittin' Sidewayz" should have had a shot. And how come Chamillionaire isn't nominated for "Best New Artist"? Regardless, you should probably watch this year's VMAs. Some crazy stuff always happens. Maybe Jay-Z and Beyonce will make out on stage this time. Comment! (0) | Recommend! | Categories: music buzz [t] Hov Stepping Down From Def Jam? Wednesday. 8.30.06 9:31 am Is Hov chunkin' the duece to Def Jam?
Rumors are flying this morning about Jay-Z leaving his Presidential post over at Def Jam. He signed a three-year contract two years ago, so he does have one more year to fulfill. But sources are saying there is no word about a contract renewal or even him negotiating a renewal. Some other folks are sayin that he wants to go ahead and let the contract run out so that he can leave and take the reins over at Atlantic Records. Others are saying that his main chick Beyonceprobably had something to do with him stepping down. A very unreliable source states that B told him to either leave Def Jam (since she's tired of his close working relationship with Rihanna) or find a new girlfriend. Yet another rumor is that the higher ups at Universal Records fired him because he's not doing much in the figurehead position, but they're allowing him to exit by saying he is "stepping down."
Some high level exec sources over at Def Jam are sayin' all of this talk of him stepping down/leaving is just a rumor that has taken off to the masses, but I wouldn't be surprised if the rumor turns out true in part. He may not be leaving Def Jam completely, but he may just be giving up his Presidential Oval office. He might just want to focus on his own music and/or his proteges'. Regardless of the truth, is it really a good move for Hov to leave his post? Speak on it Fam... Comment! (0) | Recommend! | Categories: music buzz [t] |
