lovesoul.TVWelcome to the new improved site |
The Notorious K.I. to the M gets her computer love on with half man, half machine sounding T-Pain and silver surfer Charlie Wilson. Good tune, looks like she’s found another hard drive to rap about. And she drops more web names than Game drops rapper names…let’s see if the kids digg it…
T-Pain gets some laugh here with Will Ferrell’s wonder child, Funny or Die, to ramp up promotion for his new album. I gotta say, this is pretty funny, and a clever way of addressing the haters.
T-Pain’s new album Thr33 Rings is out November 10th (UK) and 11th (US). You like the video???
Lil’ Wayne has made it into the history books according to his video blog, cracking the one million mark in sales in the first week… and now apparently “getting back to work…Carter IV!”
Still a little concerned that he wonders off into a book drive conversation… and that he didn’t mention the next single, which is coincidently ‘Got Money’ with T-Pain. Show’s he’s not got his hustlers hat on (ahem, like Jay-Z ‘If the record’s two mill I’m just trying move three). But well done. As you know, I like Weezy’s work, but Hip-Hop Singh doesn’t. See how that pan’s out in ‘The Best of Both Reviews’ on Lil’ Wayne’s Album. Coming very shortly to lovesoul.tv.
Firstly HAPPY NEW YEAR to all the lovesoul.TV readers, thank you for helping us run up well over 4500 hits in no time…we have new writers on the site and more content every week. Also big shout to all those who came out to see us DJ over Xmas and NYE in London.
Every year, Jazzy Jeff’s tour MC and all round underground legend, Skillz, does an end of year rap-up. He basically raps about stories that made the urban news in 2007 and it’s always good for a laugh. This year he mentions Akon dry humping kids on stage, Jay-Z sale of Roc-A-Wear, Kelly Rowland and Beyonce falling on stage, 50 and Kanye’s Album sales battle, Lil Wayne being on every record, Usher getting married, DJ Drama getting raided, Camron generally being ass, ringtone rappers like Soulja Boy, Amy Winehouse, Bobby Brown and Whitney, Rihanna (looking NASTY crossdressed), iPhone, Foxy Brown, T-Pain (getting his ass handed to him) and a whole bunch of other crazyness.
He’s got a couple of the clowns from Wild ‘N’ Out in there who make it MUCH funnier than just the song, and the clips help a lot, hopefully he’ll get some TV from it (take note MTV Base and Channel U). Still it’s not as funny as previous years, the beat is too boring and simple, and too many multiple references to 50, Akon, etc… I think he should invite rappers on some official remixes. Still if you’ve been listening for years, this is no reason to stop…you like?
