New L-Boogie!

07/26/2010

What it is, y’all? Before I close out this hot-as-fuck month of July with the previously-promised TLC entry, here’s a new (or maybe not, but who knows) track from the lady Lauryn Hill. Little by little, it seems like she’s interested in coming back to the world- shoutout to Tevin Campbell. Her interviews of late seem to imply she’s on the way back, and she’s appearing at the Rock The Bells festivals this summer, and there’s a good chance that soon, she’ll stop comin’ on stage lookin’ like Doink the Clown. But let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves. Music could use a Lauryn Hill project right about now, and maybe “Repercussions” is the beginning of better and more music to come. Checkitout…

“Get Used To This Newness…”

04/09/2010

Peeps think because I’m old school , I want 2 hear old school artists making music. HA! I DON’T. I want the new artists 2 make better music.- D-Nice

If I’ve given any of y’all the impression that I listen to old music all the time and rarely get into the new joints… you’re about 90% right. But it’s not because I haven’t been listenin’ for some great newness- I just haven’t heard any. Even when I was just shootin’ the shit on message boards, my credo has always been the same. I love all that old shit, but I was already there for the good ol’ days. I wanna see some great new days. At the same time, I can’t trick myself into thinking most of these so-called “hot” new niggas ain’t weak as water. I don’t knock the youngins for likin’ what they like- but on a personal level, shit just ain’t for me. The radio joints, the “underground” joints, the internet joints- to hell wit’ em.

Stop, Wait, Reverse The Tape… “Death of Autotune”… Thanks, Jay!

Maaan… didn’t wanna do this because it’s not exactly in the format… but on behalf of those who’ve had their fill of all this rampant robotic singing and rapping (whom I suspect, could also happen to love the ’90s)… gotta.

This was needed and necessary, because anyone coulda stepped up and addressed it, but niggas were takin’ too long. I just heard a new song yesterday by Mary J. Blige… yeah, MARY J. BLIGE, where even SHE’s using it. When artists who are seen as leaders are now following a trend YEARS after it became prominent, it’s time to call for a pulling of the plug. Besides, let’s be real: it’s peaked. There’s nowhere else for it to go. No one’s gonna make a career out of it like T-Pain did. No one’s gonna make a better album with it than ‘Ye did. No one’s gonna have a bigger single than Jamie Foxx just had with “Blame It”. Let’s move along…

HUGE Shout-Out to Jia for the link, in addition to the advice and assistance she’s given as far as this very site goes. No DJ, no drops, here we go:

Jay-Z “D.O.A. (Death Of Autotune)” (2009)

Aight, back to the ’90s in a lil’ bit. More posse on the way… Butt In The Meantime, what’cha think of this?

-D!
