badu prediction 200SHINE
on the bus ride to toronto, upon the zillionth listen to Mama’s Gun, the following epiphany came to me.
she always has one song that sounds like nothing else and is foreshadowing for the next effort. example: “penitentiary philosophy” is a crazy way to open that album because it doesn’t match the rest, but it does sound like it could belong on New Amerykah, the leading single for which was “honey”, a genius move (and even more genius video) to throw the leakers off to the project, but i think it means that the next movement of the four album set will be for the club (since common and mister foxx are already knocking it out) and who else to do it better than badu (and the source of her next loinfruit j electronica, whom i maintain has a shit stage show), “butt nekkid, covered in glitter…and a beeper”. call me cassandra, but i foresee some ass-shaking.
jamie foxx-trust your intuition
the man, the entertainer, the true urban legend. i will have an official ten cents on this cat, but my two cents is that he is amazing. this album is one of the best of the year, and finally one that is representative of what he does and his talent. lyrically, there is nothing special, but because he can sing his ass off, it doesn’t matter. in my opinion, the man is the king of r&b, despite the viral single by musiq (why did he bring back soulchild if he is clearly never going to be able to pull off neo-soul again? or is it that i just think he’s so arrogant, arrogant…) he’s never been good looking but always so damn sexxxy. go on, mister foxx. i can’t wait to see the soloist either, happy two thousand SHINE.

young at heart
i feel good, i knew that i would now. from outkast to sonic youth to coldplay, james is actually a fitting choice for these folks, not one that is just so crazy that it works. this is one of the most inspiring movies that i’ve seen in a long time, and for anyone who is involved in musics, has a band, loves singers, y’all gotta witness the love and dedication that these folks (average age 80) put into their lives. it is a tear jerker, though when you get to be that old, death isn’t even a jarring reality, it’s just part of life, but holy not taking it lightly, batman. they fight the good fight and encourage all their homies to keep it going when they’re gone. it’s never too late to start something new, but this flick is proof that it can be too late to start something, so don’t sleep, peoples. do it big.
