Rewind (Certified Gangstas - Jim Jones, Game, Cam'ron)


Hey remember this? "Me and Santana blowing in the wind like Donny Hathaway"

This was when I was 1st introduced to The Game and Mr. Capo Status himself, Jim Jones.

Jazmyn's Lyric (Lauryn Hill - That Thing)

I WISH HER HEART STILL WAS IN RHYMING =[

I appreciate this song SSOOOOO much! Def READ THE LYRICS!!! I was singing it today, but now think I've read the lyrics OMG I'm buggin out!



Lauryn Hill - Doo Wop (That Thing)

yo, remember back on the boogie when cats use to harmonize like...
whooo, whooo whooo whooo,
yo, my men and my women,
don't forget about the dean,Sirat al-Mustaqim
yo, its about a thing, uh

If ya feel real good wave your hands in the air
and 'lick' two shots in the atmosphere...
yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah...

It's been three weeks since you've been looking for your friend
The one you let hit it and never called you again
'Member when he told you he was 'bout the Benjamin's
You act like you ain't hear him then gave him a little trim
To begin, how you think you really gon' pretend
Like you wasn't down then you called him again
Plus when you give it up so easy you ain't even foolin’ him
If you did it then, then you’d probably fuck again
Talking out your neck sayin' you're a Christian
A Muslim sleeping with the gin
Now that was the sin that did Jezebel in

Who you gon' tell when the reprocussions spin
Showing off your ass 'cause you're thinking it's a trend
Girlfriend, let me break it down for you again
You know I only say it 'cause I'm truly genuine
Don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem
Baby girl, respect is just a minimum
Niggas fucked up and you still defending 'em
Now Lauryn is only human
Don't think I haven't been through the same predicament
Let it sit inside your head like a million women in Philly, Penn.
It's silly when girls sell their soul because it's in
Look at where you be in hair weaves like Europeans
Fake nails done by Koreans
Come again

Win win come again, brethren come again, my friend come again, yo come again

Guys you know you better watch out
Some girls, some girls are only about
That thing, that thing, that thing(2x-this line)

The second verse is dedicated to the men
More concerned with his rims and his Tims than his women
Him and his men come in the club like hooligans
Don't care who they offend popping yang like you got yen
Let's not pretend, they wanna pack pistol by they waist men
Crystal by the case men, still in they mother's basement

The pretty face men, claiming that they did a bid men
Need to take care of their three and four kids then
They facing a court case when the child's support late
Money taking, heart breaking now you wonder why women hate men
The sneaky silent men, the punk domestic violence men
The quick to shoot the semen stop acting like boys and be men
How you gon' win when you ain't right within
How you gon' win when you ain't right within
How you gon' win when you ain't right within
Uh uh Come again

Yo yo Come again, brethren come again, sistren come again, come again

Watch out watch out, look out look out,
Watch out watch out, look out look out.

Girls you know you better watch out
Some guys, some guys are only about
That thing, that thing, that thing(2x-this line)

guys you know you better watch out
some girls, some girls are only about
that thing, that thing, that thing(2x-this line)

Let's Take It Back (Luther Vandross)

If you ask me who is the greatest r&b musician I would say Luther Vandross! His songs are timeless and most importantly they are a testament of good music. If you say you have a fav. Luther song YOUR LYING TO YOURSELF!!!

In his honor I'm playing one of my fav. Luther songs (out of the 30 on my ipod lol) "Wait For Love"

WANTED AD 4 PRODUCERS N SONGWRITERS!


HELP WANTED!



My buddy Sterling Simms (Def Jam Recording Artist) is working on his new album. He wants songwriters and producers to submit material to yungsterling@yahoo.com.

MAKE SURE YOUR STUFF IS COPY-WRITTEN B4 YOU GIVE AWAY ANYTHING!!!!

Reading Is Fundamental (Thank You & You're Welcome)



So I'm at the radio station and the awesome Poochman left a book in the studio called "Thank You and Your Welcome". It was by my idol Kanye so I HAD to read it. No biased on this book it's def a good book with great qoutes. It took me about 30 minutes to read it (so u can def read it on da train on something), but I LOVED it (n not becuz it was by Kanye.) It featured great quotes u def gotta get up on it!!!

Here are some:
"You Can Learn More From A Critique Than From A Compliment"

"Regardless of your postion in life, no one but you is qualified to determine your happiness"

When Your focused on what you don't have you won't have!

LOL

Open your eyes or close them for this matter. I watched this in the office a few months back and I was literally laughing out loud. This is a prime example of THEY SHOULDA NEVER GAVE YOU NIGGAS MONEY!

Highlights are: :30 , 1:10, 3:15 and the one that tops the cake it 4:07

o0o No Diddy Didn't

Diddy is lookin at the one dollar bill like THEY STILL MAKE THIS SHIT! I HAVEN'T SEEN ONE OF THESE SINCE I WORKED FOR UPTOWN lol.

Reading Is Fundamental (Keep The Faith)



This book is POPPIN! I don't usually have that much time to read like I want to, but I swear I read this in 2 days flat. Homegirl went through a lot in her lifetime and most of her drama was way b4 she hooked up with Biggie. I have a new found respect for Faith Evans and I can feel her pain through her music.

I posted her hit 'Soon As I Get Home', because she says it was a song she wished Biggie would sing for her. He was always running the streets and wouldn't come home for days at a time. Sad face! I'm def looking at Ms. Evans in a whole new light. But def read the book esspecially if your a young woman who grew up on her music.

IM TELLING YOU IT'S BETTER THAN A HOOD NOVEL!!!

Jazmyn's Lyric (Miguel-Go)

This song is just another reminder that I need to wake up and smell the coffee. Life isn't all about work and it doesn't mean much if I have no1 to share it with. When I do decide to settle down I want a love like this. Take away the awesome career, cash, clothes, etc. and what do you have? Miguel's answer is "Each other". Check out my new favourite love song below.



Miguel - GO
My wip aint equipped with butterfly doors
Stereo May Not Even Play Your CD
And The Rims Aint Gonna Spin When We Stop Babe
But I Swear We'll Get Where We Wanna Be

Cuz I Just Wanna Be With You
And I Dont Care What They Say
We Can Run To The Sun And Forget This Place
But They'll Only Tear Us Down If We Stay

So Lets Go Baby Hope In
Lets Smash At The Gas No Stoppin'
To A Place Where Our Love Can Run Free
Tank Full Of Gas Pocket Full of Cash
Windows Down And Radio On Blast, Baby Just You and Me Baby Just You And Me

I Understand That My Plan Aint Perfect Babe
Where We'll Go I Dont Know, I Dont Care
Cuz Just As Long As We're Together, Baby I Won't Have To Worry About A Thing
Cuz Im Sure That Our Love Can Get Us There

Cuz I Just Wanna Be With You
And I Dont Care What They Say
We Can Run To The Sun And Forget This Place
But They'll Only Tear Us Down If We Stay

So Lets Go Baby Hope In
Lets Smash At The Gas No Stoppin'
To A Place Where Our Love Can Run Free
Tank Full Of Gas Pocket Full of Cash
Windows Down And Radio On Blast, Baby Just You and Me Baby Just You And Me

And If They Ask, We Won't Say A Word
We'll Speed Off And Laugh, As We Flip The Bird
I Don't Give A Damn, They Don't Understand
Baby Take My Hand And Don't Look Back

So Let's Go...



Go - Miguel Jontel

Jazmyn's Lyric (Gnarls Barkley - Who Cares)



Everyone knows of Gnarls Barkley through there hit song "Crazy". Though that song was hot their song "Who Cares" is what made me play attention to them. I had my iPod on shuffle today and this song came on, so I feel like I need to share it with everyone. Cee-lo is a genisus hands down and this song def proves my point. The lyrics are insane son!!!!


Basically I'm complicated
I have a hard time taking the easy way
I wouldn't call it schizophrenia
But I'll be at least 2 people today

If that's okay

And I can go on and on and on... but who cares?

It's deep how you can be so shallow
And I'm afraid cause I have no fear
And I didn't believe in magic
Until I watched you disappear

I wish you where here

And I can go on and on and on... but who cares?

You see, everybody is somebody
But nobody wants to be themselves
and If I ever wanted to understand me
I'll have to talk to someone else

Cause every little bit helps

And I can go on and on and on... but who cares?

Feels like... the surreal life
But it's still nice
Wish I could live twice
but I still might
if these bones heal right
I see a little light
though it's still night

Feels like... surreal like
But its still nice
Wish I could live twice
but I still might
if these bones heal right
I see a little light
though it's still night

And I can go on and on and on... but who cares?

And I can go on and on and on... but who cares?



Who Cares ? - Gnarls Barkley

Open Your Eyes (Kanye West - Welcome 2 Heartbreak)

My girl Kendra G is doing her thing. I need to def get some dance lessons 4 her ASAP.

You Need To Know Soundz



"What Would The Music Be Without Soundz?" was a drop that I kept hearing as I listened to Sterling Simms album, entitled 'Yours, Mine, And The Truth', for the first time. Since I brought his cd via iTunes I couldn't read the credits (which drove me crazy) so I had to bother Sterl and ask him the who, what, where, and hows about the producer of those tracks. Come to find out it was a fella by the name of Soundz. Most of you guys would know him through his hit single "Love In The Club Part 2" by Usher, Beyonce, and Lil Wayne. The guy is seriously talented and everytime I listen to one of his tracks I'm blown away and left asking myself HOW DID HE DO THAT?!? The placement of his drums, snaps, etc. are so PERFECT.

REQUEST FOR SOUNDZ: I'm gonna need you to do a Ryan Leslie type of youtube so that I can steal some of your tricks (j/k)

Here's A Playlist of Some of His Songs
note: when listening ignore the lyrics just hear the beat.

You Need To Know Steve Stoute

THE BLACK LIST: VOL. 2 profiles some of today's most fascinating African- Americans.

Gov. Deval Patrick; pastor T.D.

Jazmyn's Lyric (Ne-Yo - Take A Bow)

Im a BIG fan of Ne-Yo. I feel he one of the best when it comes to songwriting of this era. If your late to the punch here are the lyrics to his version to the Rhianna's Take A Bow.



She gave
A round of applause
Followed
By a standing novation

I feel so dumb right now
Standing outside her house
Trying to apologizing
'Cause I told quite a few lies
(Damn)
And she found me out
So now I'm saying sorry
'Cause I am
Though it's very clear to me
That she don't give a damn
Got me out her putting on a show
Neighbors laughing at me
I just want her to know
Without her I can't be happy
So I'm putting on a show
I hope it's entertaining
Don't say we're over now
Please let me in the house

She said
"And the award
For the best lie goes to you
For making me believe
That you could be faithful to me
Let's hear your speech now"
She gave a round of applause
Followed by a standing novation

Got me out here
Putting on a show
Neighbors laughing at me
I just want her to know
Without her I can't be happy
So I'm putting on a show
Hope it's entertaining
Don't say we're over now
Please let me in the house

Baby, please
Don't say we're over now

This isn't the best valentine song (it's more so a baby I want you back record), but when DeVonte says "Don't Talk Just Listen" the panties automatically get wet lol (tmi)

*Aaliyah - One In A Million*
No intro needed every1 knows this record

*R.Kelly - Honey Love*
This is R.Kelly at his BEST. A hands down get your freak on classic.

*Miguel Jontel - Vixen*
I'm such a good girl and I'm super innocent, but this song makes me want to strip! I'm dead serious! So just imagine what it could do for a freaky girl.

My white boy turned this song out! It's very sexy

*Silk - Freak Me*
Once I was old enough to understand this song IT WAS A WRAP!!! lol "Let Me Lick You Up And Down Til You Say Stop" no woman can argue with that.

I prefer the Melssia Morgan version, but it's whatever floats your boat. Either way this song is a classic! I guarantee when it comes to putting him/her in the mood.

*Fredrick - Gentle*
I'm a sucker for debuts and this one is amazing. If only I could write songs like this! Another guarantee when it comes to getting him/her in the mood.
