FutureSex/LoveSounds - Justin Timberlake [Download: full]
This track is hot as hell, even though it sounds like vintage-Prince to me. He wasn't shitting us when he said that FutureSex/LoveSounds is an album that bites off Prince. His last album emulated Michael Jackson, this album emulates Prince, what artist will be the theme for his next album? Teletubbies? But seriously, this track is simply outstanding as is My Love. Say what you want about this white boy but he always comes with the heat.

Resentment - Beyonce [Download: clip]
OK, here is a brand new Beyonce track that goes by the name of Resentment. Now I mentioned this song in my last post where I stated that the song was originally recorded by Victoria Beckham but her Hip Hop/R&B album didn't even see the light of day. Anyway, Resentment is definetely a confirmed track on Beyonce's new album B'Day and it sounds really good. It's a cool laidback slow jam and the song maximises Beyonce's vocals to high capacity. Actually, her album would've been wonderful if she had more slow jams and mid-tempo music rather than have pure shitty upbeat tracks that sound really incongruous and all over the place to the point where you just can't get into them (Ring The Alarm, Suga Mama, Get Me Embodied, as prime examples). I know it would've been a risk-taking decision but that's what true artistry is all about. Madonna has done it, Janet has done it and hell, even Britney Spears. It's all about reinventing yourself. She'd have gained si much respect as an artist in my opinion. Now if Beyonce had Cassie's material, she'd have been laughing. And it's really sad that a lacking singer has an album which is getting more praise. Anyway, here is another BRAND NEW album sampler with NEW clips. The new clips on this sampler are Creole, Encore, Listen and Resentment: [download: clips]

Ryan Leslie is knocked out by the exotic beauty that stands before him, and he can't believe he's standing next to a young woman so beautiful with a thick exoticness that graces her exquisite features. The young woman in question is new R&B artist Cassie, and Ryan who is mentoring the gorgeous soon-to-be 20-year-old is enjoying every minute and making the most of his shared surroundings with the latest new R&B sensation. As she struts her stuff for the camera's, she tends to put behind her the latest controversy surrounding her lack of vocal ability and stage charisma and in the aftermath of such events, she hopes she can redeem herself with this latest new single. That said, I love this song and the video looks like it's going to be hot. Also, is it me or is Cassie starting to look like Christina Milian's long lost little sister? Anyway, here are pictures from Cassie's new video Long Way 2 Go. I love this song and the video looks like it's going to be hot. (click thumbnails to view pictures in full)

And let's just say that there is a shock death in store but then again, it was to be expected. The password is: Daffy084.goulag

Mariah need to stop dressing like she got dressed at the chinese store that sell wigs and fashion. She make too much money to be dressed like this. She don't even sing the way she used to because she is too busy TRYING to be sexy. Her and Toni Braxton need to stop it. Mariah reminds me of a friends mother that tries to get with you, just to see if they still got it.
