RANDOM THOUGHTS...

Posted by DJ Plan.B on Thursday, June 12, 2008 , under , , , , , , , , , |





  1. Congratulations to Lil Wayne, who moved 423,000 copies of The Carter III in the FIRST DAY. Who says hip-hop is dead? This is just a lesson in that hard work and passion for your craft can bring new life to any "dying" art form. Who can argue that he is not the greatest rapper today other than Kanye? He told us he was the best and we didn't believe him and he stepped up, worked harder, and showed and proved! I wonder how DJ Chuck T (who famously leaked this album to the internet 2 weeks before it was released) feels now? Where are all the people who say music sales are on the decline? Maybe, it's just that great music is GREAT MUSIC. Leave it at that. Check out a great article on SOHH.com where the producers of this album talk about each track HERE.
  2. Stop hating on Usher! It is always hard to accept unexpected change in others when we may not be changing in the same ways, however Here I Stand is a MASTERPIECE of vocal ability and demonstration. Before you get caught up in the hate, actually take some time and LISTEN to the album. Usher is growing up (as we all should be doing in our 20s and 30s) and his music is reflecting his growth. We would call him FAKE if he came out talking about the subject matter of 8701 or Confessions at this point in his life because we know he is not living that? So, what's a man to do? Take your stand, Usher.
  3. My advice to Janet Jackson is to reinvent yourself like you did for your classics Control, Rhythm Nation 1814, and Janet. We haven't seen a new side of Janet since then!
  4. Britney Spears' last album Blackout, was her BEST ALBUM TO DATE. Go buy it. The drama in her personal life overshadowed the great album that is a credit to her and all those who worked to produce it.
