Joe Budden finding superstars -_-
This is mean but funny. This guy really thinks Joe Budden's serious.
Bei Maejor
I remember hearing this guys name from when he was working with Trey Songz and I just read he was the guy singing the chorus on Plies "She's Got It Made".
Rick Ross....what happened?
So today Billboard is reporting that Eminem still has the number one album in the country, outselling Rick Ross' "Telfon Don" (which sold 176,000) by more than 10,000 albums. To be honest I'm not really surprised that Rick Ross album did not sell a lot of records. However, I am surprised that an album that has been out for more than 5 weeks, still sold more records than a NEW ALBUM.
I have two questions, whose buying Eminem albums? and where's Diddy at? Lol.
No seriously Eminem could probably release a blank album and it will probably go gold in the first week and Rick Ross has been everywhere lately. He's been on Chelsea Lately, he's been parading around the world with Diddy and not to mention he's has the "BMF" record that is one of, if not, the hottest rap records out right now. I thought he would sell like 250,000 albums in his first week. What happened? Comment!
Oh yeah more chart listing tomorrow.

Miguel
The guy pictured above is Miguel Jontel. He is a singer, song writer and producer from Los Angeles California. He has a song titled "All I Want Is You" feat J. Cole that has been gaining him notoriety. Pretty sure you heard this song already but if you have not...you have been missing out. This guy has placed songs on Usher's and Musiq Soulchild's album. Make sure you download his album which was released in 2008, it has some great songs on it.

When Pop Meets Rap
BY PAUL GRIEN
*This post came from news.music.yahoo.com. Great Read!
Five of the 10 best-selling songs for the year-to-date are pop/rap pairings. "California Gurls" by Katy Perry featuring Snoop Dogg is #3 for the year-to-date, followed by "Airplanes" by B.O.B. featuring Hayley Williams (#4), "Break Your Heart" by Taio Cruz featuring Ludacris (#5), "Nothin' On You" by B.o.B featuring Bruno Mars (#9) and "Baby" by Justin Bieber featuring Ludacris (#10).
Why has there been such a proliferation of collaborations that blend pop and rap? Most obviously, it broadens the potential audience for a record. Adding rap to a pop record gives it some edge. "Baby" has become Justin Bieber's best-selling song to date, with sales to date of 2,231,000 copies. Ludacris' rap gave the record an edge that expanded its appeal beyond Bieber's base of teen and pre-teen girls. It moved it from bubblegum closer to the center of pop.
Snoop Dogg's rap added some grit to Katy Perry's summer smash "California Gurls." It's still a Popsicle, to borrow an image from the record, but the flavor is now tangy lime instead of cool watermelon.
Coming at it from the other side, adding pop elements to a rap record makes it more palatable to a mass audience. That's why rapper B.o.B invited Hayley Williams, the lead singer for the rock band Paramore, and sweet-voiced crooner Bruno Mars to sing on his hits "Airplanes" and "Nothin' On You," respectively.
All three of the giant hits from rapper Jay’Z’s latest album The Blueprint 3 are collabos. "Run This Town" with Rihanna and Kanye West; "Empire State Of Mind" with Alicia Keys and "Young Forever" with Mr. Hudson have sold a combined total of 8,379,000 copies. (Jay-Z signifies how important his collabo partners are by giving them equal billing, not just featured credit.)
Blending pop and rap is smart business. It's like blending elements of comedy and action in a movie to try to expand the potential audience. Or adding a love story to bring in a female audience. Or casting actors of different races to try to appeal to a wider range of fans.

A FRESH START
Hello!
For those of you who have been checking out my blog thank you so much! I started this blog one day while I was bored at work. I was really just posting songs I was hearing that I liked and thought others might like too.
Now, I'm starting again. Same idea, but I will be posting more frequently and hopefully you will enjoy it more this time around.
New posts coming soon!
