While you are all checking out the mixtape, we would like to put it out there that if you are an up and coming artist, we would love to host you on the blog.  Just hit us up on our e-mail, and let us know what's up!  We have gotten some more from a few artists, and due to our being so busy, we have been working on getting to them!  Expect some more reviews this coming week, and in the future!  If you are an up and coming artist, hit us up on the e-mail by Clicking Here!

Hey guys. Sorry for the lack of posts by me these days but school is tough. Anyway, this is a really special remix of the week. Adagio for Strings or Agnus Dei (Vocal) by Samuel Barber is probably one of the saddest, but most beautiful songs ever written, so Tiesto thought he'd put his twist on it. The song has been featured in many movies including EPlatoon, The Elephant Man, S1m0ne, Lorenzo's Oil, El Norte (1984), The Scarlet Letter, and Amélie. If you love the original, unremixed, you may not like the remix due to the tempo change and beat remixing; don't worry though, it is really cool nonetheless. All in all, Tiesto is quite a machine. Enjoy!!! And check out the original on strings and voice, it is sure to amaze.

Well, we have been updating, adding, and advancing our Music 101 section on the blog.  As of right now, we have added a ton more graphics to the PhotoBucket, all about album art, wallpapers, and a ton of other stuff.

On top of that, we have been colab'ing with Ain't Got No Music's forum, so be sure to check that out, he has been doing a great job, and as said before, he is currently helping us with the progression of the blog.  Just like we had once told you, we are still trying to set up interviews and we plan on getting some done soon!  We really look forward to the people who we have contacted to respond, and we will keep you all updated as soon as possible!

There really is not much else to mention, we want your inputs, and we have not really gotten many comments on the blog.  We wish that people would start talking more instead of reading the blog, and just moving on to the next site.  Please leave a comment on a post, tell us what you think, and let us know what we can do to advance the blog.  We did not make the blog to just talk to no one, we wanted to hear different views out there.  If you got an opinion on a subject we are writing on, please feel free to drop us a comment.

Thats all for now!  Keep checking back here for more info and hopefully more reviews!

Whether you knew this or not, but the Blog plans on having some new stuff featured on it, and we got some reminders for all of you readers out there.  I personally love to mash songs up, remix songs, and what not, so I decided I would release my own Mixtape with the remixes/mashups that I make, and the download link for the mixtape would be hosted on the blog.  The title of the mixtape will be, Goin Through The Mixes (Vol. 1).  The remixes on there will be of various artists, and of different beats and tunes, so be sure to check that out and let me know what you think of it!

On top of that, I plan on sort of putting out a compilation mixtape of my favorite mashups and remixes made by people.  They will all be hot tracks, and be a sure download!  I plan on calling that mixtape/compilation: Cracka Music (Vol. 1).  Who knows if I will pursue this, and make more of each mixtape, but for now, they will just have volumes due to my not knowing!  If you know of a good mashup/remix that someone made, be sure to send it to us, and if we think it is worthy of being on our mixtape, we will post it up!

Thats pretty much it for now.  Just a quick notification to ya'll, the blog will be going through some changes in the coming time.  So the lack of posts is due to myself and Ain't Got No Music working on a new layout and look for the blog.  The new situation for our blog will be sick narsty, and will more than likely be more organized then what we have right now.  I was thinking of doing something like this...  Have the front page be like where I can post Remix of the Week, blog updates, and other junk.  Then, there would be tabs in the header which will allow users to go to other sections of the blog (i.e. Album Reviews, Single/Remix Reviews, Mixtape Reviews, Interviews, Affiliates, Promoted Artists, Mixtape Downloads.)

Each section will obviously have its own thing going on, and unlike this blog layout, it will be way more organized.  I would still like to keep a search bar somewhere on the blog, so this way people can find specific things that they want, as opposed to having to search everywhere for it.  We also would like some User-Input, but we never really get that, so if not, the layout will just be changed to what we want.

Thats pretty much all we got for ya, stay tuned for more updates, ideas, and news!

Alternate Single Cover

Well this remix is the official remix for the second single off of Nelly's upcoming album entitled, Brass Knuckles.  The single is pretty solid, and the remix is also very solid.  The track has that extra umph that really does help the track progress.

Normally we don't do this, but you are pretty lucky!  Unlike other "Remixes of the Week" this one will feature a single review as well.   So why was Nelly's single so good?  Mainly because the beat that was dropped on this track was truly sick.  The track, whether you knew this or not, was not supposed to be featured on Brass Knuckles, rather, it was supposed to be on Fergie's album, The Dutchess.  The track was decided to be too un-Fergie like, and too, "street" for Fergie.  In a way, I agree with the producers on this one, Fergie does not fit the beat well being the lead singer.  However, she does an excellent job being a featured guest on this song.  If this, and "Wadsyaname" are examples of what is to be on Nelly's upcoming album, then I am extremely excited.  While the album has been pushed back so many times, the wait is for sure worth it considering how good these past two tracks have been!  I am excited to give Brass Knuckles a listen upon it's release, and I am sure it is going to be a great production for Nelly.

Check Out, "Party People (Feat. Fergie & O'Neill)" Below!

Well, the first single off Viva La Vida is for sure a great song.  It's got everything going for it, and really complements what Coldplay does in a very nice manner.  The single itself is soothing to the senses, and is definitely going to be up there on the single charts.  A while back, there was a one week promotional of free downloads of the single off the Coldplay homepage.  I had not known this, and missed out on a great opportunity.  However, if you missed this promo, today, May 7th, 2008, if you pick up a copy of N.W.E. UK Magazine, they are including a promo CD for the album.  So be sure to check that out.

For those of you out there who did not get the magazine, or download the track off the site, you can listen to it off of YouTube, and let us know what you think of it!  The single is just overall a hit in my opinion.  There is not a single complaint I have about the track, and if this is how the rest of the album is going to sound, then we are all in for a big treat.  Unlike Lil' Wayne, and his inability to put out a solid single, "Violet Hill" is a masterpiece.  And talking about masterpieces, from what I understand, the album is named after a painting by a French artist, if I recall correctly.  I will be sure to give you all the low down on the album later this week, and give you guys more information as to the status and progression of the album.  For now, just check out the single provided on this post, and let us know what you think of it!  I am sure you will be very satisfied with this track, I know I sure am!

Has Lil' Wayne lost it?  Well some of you right now must be thinking... "What is this guy smoking, Wayne is probably the hottest rapper out there."  Sad fact of the matter is, I am not joking one bit...

You see, every rapper is trying to get to that, "limelight" position in their careers.  Weezy has gotten there, but once you get there, there is a jump off point in which you can only go down.  Now I am not saying that Birdman Jr. is currently at that stage in his career, but I really want to know what's up with him.  The first two singles off the album have been crap.  And to be honest, if you are one of those people that found "Lollipop" a solid "Club Song," then you really need to find yourself a new place to hang on your Saturday nights.  If you are one of the people who thought that, "A Milli" was a solid, "Street Song," then you too should probably go out on the streets and give it a listen.  The first two singles to drop off of Wayne's up and coming Tha Carter III have been some of the worst display of Wayne tracks I have ever heard.  Generally, I am down with what Mr. Carter does, so long as it is a bit understandable, and has a good beat.  I will pretty much listen to any music, so long as it doesn't stink... These past two tracks off the album have utterly turned me off to Wayne's upcoming album.  I don't really know what it is!  Is it that he released the original album under the E.P. The Leak?  Or is it that he has just lost his touch?  The truth is, I really don't know.

Wayne has always been in that spotlight, loved by his fans, adored by many, and respected around the globe.  I am sure there are those out there who are the loyal Weezy fans, and thought his first two singles were hot stuff, mainly because it was new Lil' Wayne music, and you were eager to give it a listen.  To be honest with all of you who are like that, be honest with yourself, and with the song.  If you can give me, and point out any positives off his first two singles, maybe you could change my mind.  As of right now, the looks of me buying the Lil' Wayne album are looking slim to none, and Slim just left town.  The guy is really hyped up, not that I am saying he isn't a good musician, but in general, Lil' Wayne is one of the most hyped up artists in the music industry today.  So here is why I decided to write this post, and tell you all what I truly think about the first two singles off The Carter III.

So here is what truly caused this post...

1. I am sick and tired of hearing radio stations play Lil' Wayne singles when they truly are terrible.  The only reason that these past two singles have been considered good is because the person singing them is, "Lil' Wayne."
2. If I hear one more person tell me that Wayne's up and coming album is going to be the bomb-diggity, I am going to flip.  The guy says the same things over and over again, and he can't even be understood in any of his songs.  I generally am alright with his music, but none of these singles show any signs of the upcoming album being any good.
3. My last and final reason is simply that there has not been one single sign of solid music coming out of Wayne in a while now.  If I was a big Wayne fan, I would be worried about this...

So there you have it, my reasons for not liking Mr. Carter's up and coming album, and why I think his singles are so bad, and also, why he should not be as hyped up as he is...

When will it end...?  Chris Brown just keeps crankin' them out.  Single, after single, after single.  Hit after hit, after hit, this young superstar really does have what it takes to be a successful R&B artist.  This single is off his up and coming re-release of the ever so popular hit album entitled, Exclusive.

So what made this a good track?  I truly don't know.  It is really upbeat, like most of the album is, and really is just different from what yo are used to from CB.  The track itself has so much more going on then in any of the other ones.  In my opinion, this single has way too much going on.  While that may be the case, I still do like the track.  Also, the beat which this single has is fast, unlike his other tracks on the album which are slower paced and moving song.  Overall, this was a pretty solid single from Chris Brown, and the music video is already floating around on the web, can be seen on MTV and BET from what I understand.  You can check out the music video by Clicking Here, or checking down below.

"Forever" Music Video:

As you are all aware, there are lots of people who have been speculating that Chris Brown and Rihanna are dating, but here is an interview with both CB and R&B/Hip-Hop star Rihanna.  So don't listen to the tabloids, and stop wasting your money on magazines that make up crap.  You can check out what the two of them have to say about the speculations, for free, on YouTube.  So there you have it, there is no CB/Rihanna relationship!
