This song has been causing a little stir on Twitter, so I decided to check it out. The production is alright. Light bass with some instruments, has a feel good vibe to it. The hook is decent minus the repetition of the word "one." It gets kind of annoying after a while. I like the lyrics though: "We all need one. We all need somebody to hold us down. We all need somebody to ride or die. We all need one. Somebody that's gonna keep it real with you. Put up with your ish and deal with you." Perfect summary of why we need relationships, right? The verses were ok, nothing really to write home about. Fat Joe could have gotten a little more creative. This is a typical theme for songs, so you gotta take it to another level to keep it interesting and unique. Overall, this joint is okay, won't hurt to push play and ultimately decide for yourself. -MinM

DMX has spoken up about the new assault allegation against him. He released a statment saying that he did not do any physical harm to an officer. That this is all happening because the media and others are just out to make him look bad. However, the County Sheriff is refuting X's statement. He said that part of X's punishment on lock down was a bread and water diet. Some how X managed to take a regular meal tray on Sunday. When the officer told him to give it back, he refused, and threw the tray at the officer. The Sheriff does agree, that there were no injuries done to the involved officer. X's punishment for this incidient, still remains the same. He could still face the charge of felony aggravated assault and get eight years in prison. Should any further news develop about whether or not he gets charged, I'll be back.
Ok, so throwing food at an officer is a dumb move but is not worth no freakin' eight years! I think they being just a little too harsh in Arizona. However, they have given X numerous breaks from the start of this whole thing. So maybe they just tired of his shyt, which you can't blame them in that case. Anyways, this is all just a crazy situation and I hope they don't charge my boy with the felony. It's obvious the man needs some mental help. I think he needs a 72 hour evaluation or something. Guess we just gotta wait and see how this all ends up. SMH - MinM

DMX may have just royally screwed himself over by potentially adding eight more years to his sentence. Reports have it that he attacked a corrections officer at Arizona Tent City Jail while in lock down. The new charge would be felony aggravated assault and could mean his probation gets revoked and he gets an eight year prison sentence. And this would be his second incident, since being incarcerated. He was on lock down in the first place, due to the fact that he was threatening the corrections officers over his job duties. They placed him in a solitary cell for 23 hours a day for the remainder of his time in jail. There has no been no official word about what is going to happen in regards to the supposed assault. As details emerge, I will report back.
Damn X your time was almost done, chill out my dude! 90 days in jail sounds a hell of a lot easier than eight years in prison. He's got a baby and new fiance on the outside, he should think about that before he does stupid shyt. Especially, the baby, I mean that's not a good look to miss the first eight years of your child's life because you got a temper. I thought he was so religious and stuff now anyways? Doesn't that mean he should turn the other cheek and let things go? I don't know, I hope the best for him. It looks bad though, cause this is his second incident. Guess we will just have to wait and see what happens. This is really just a sad situation. -MinM

Yes, this song is as bad as it sounds. First off, it is the WORST use of autotune ever! Lil Wayne should have schooled this boy on how to use the damn thing. The production is bearable, nice smooth bass with a few instruments thrown in the mix. The beat is over powered by the autotune though, so if they would have toned it down, the production would have been hot. The hook hurts the ears bad, autotune Huey and Bobby Valentino do not mix well at all. It sounds just like a bunch of noise. Verse wise, there was nothing impressive at all either. Just average sexual lyrics, no creativity or cleverness available. This is something I do not advise pressing play on at all. Not even going to advise you to make your own judgement, just trust me and skip this! I wish I would have. -MinM

T-Pain had to cancel a show last night in Guyana, as death and kidnapping threats were made over the weekend, with no named person or persons. The threats were received via email and telephone and are indeed credible threats, according to a police commander. Therefore, authorities have decided to launch a full investigation of the situation. Had he gone through with the show, Pain would have been the biggest American performer to grace the country's Carnival Festival in years. However, T-Pain will rejoin his fellow tour mates next month on the "I Am Music Tour." There has been no word from Pain yet, about the incident. Any further details get released, I will do an update.
This is pretty crazy, who would want to kill T-Pain? I am not even going to make an autotune joke, too easy, lol. I mean but seriously, other than money, I can't see what anyone would want with him. He was in another country though, that hadn't seen an American performer in a while. Maybe it's that whole hate for the United States thing, you know other countries can't stand our a**es, lol. Regardless, I'm glad hes alright and I hope the police find out who did it. That's gotta be some deep stuff to live with, knowing that someone potentially wants you dead or kidnapped. People these days are just nuts. -MinM

So The Game broke news on his current tour that he has had a change of heart about a recent career move. He is NOT retiring after all, in fact he is currently going to work on the next album. Speculation is that the title will be Global Warming and that the project will be produced solely by Cool & Dre. Also, a release date is set to be sometime this Summer. Again this is just talk, at this time nothing has been confirmed about the album, except the fact that there will be one for sure. Just a reminder that a few short days ago, Game began his 30 city tour. It includes several California shows obviously and additional stops like: Phoenix, Portland, Denver, etc. The tour concludes on March 29, 2009. As further and more concrete details become available about the new album, I'll do an update.
Well, this is great news. I love Game and glad he is not done yet. Should have known better though, I can't think of one rapper who said that he was going to retire and actually did it, lol. However, I do wish they would stop using that as a promotional ploy. All these fans spend money on the album and concert tickets thinking one thing, only to have them reveal it's not true. It makes you feel kind of played, lol! And we are in a recession now too, playing with folks money like that is not a good look. Anyways, I can't wait to see what he has in store next. You know if any music drops, we will be on it. -MinM
