Keri Hilson feat. Kanye West- Live on Letterman

May 5, 2009  |  Live Performances, Soul/R&B  |  1 Comment

I like the choreography, Keri seems to be having fun with it and Kanye definitely did when he smacks her in the ass but my favorite part of this is Dave’s reaction at the end…

Teairra Mari feat. Flo-Rida “Cause A Scene”

A lot of folks I know are hating on Flo-Rida…I’m not going to debate them but I will post this video despite that. Jackie Long has a funny cameo and Teairra does her thing too. You won’t catch me pumping the song in my ride anytime soon but the video is great.

Melanie Fiona & Kenny Muhammad- VERY Unplugged

Isn’t it refreshing to come across real talent? This girl doesn’t have to use auto tune or roll around half naked to make this song dope

So glad the homie Maxwell is back at it!

the greatest cover of “Stand By Me”

Recorded with street musicians around the world then mixed together to make this. Amazing

Most in studio clips that are floating around the web these days don’t really do much for me but everytime I catch one that Ryan does (whether there staged or not) is pretty damn compelling and this one is even better with Keri up in it

Ok, I officially hate auto tune

April 9, 2009  |  Sharp Thoughts, Soul/R&B  |  7 Comments

Here’s a prime example of why. A talented artist named Mr. Hudson who worked with Kanye recently on 808′s & Heartbreak came up with a perfectly good song called There Will Be Tears but then felt compelled to wash it in the wack juice known as auto-tune even though I know he can hit the right notes without it.

Unless your T-Pain or you absolutely need it because you really can’t part with a song that’s out of your range and just sell it to someone who can actually sing it- please refrain from sounding like an android and rationalizing it cause Kanye and Weezy do it. It’s really not cool anymore.

A fan made this?!

They had some help with the visuals courtesy of a movie called Waking Life but the way they put this together is still amazing. If your reading this- holler at me. Maybe we should get you involved with the official video for Complicated that we’re about to do…
