Journey Of Soul

There are a lot of singers that well, um sing. But there are only a handful that SANG! Anthony Hamilton is one of the selected few that falls into the elite handful. I have always been a fan of his voice and charisma that he exudes on his records and stage. So last night I had the chance to see him in concert. This was the first time I've seen him in a few years and I was not disappointed at the least. What I like about Anthony is that he is a real dude. The kind of cat that you could run into on the humble at the gas station and talk to him for hours. You would look at your watch and be like damn, I've been chatting it up with dude for 2 hours. That realness is what makes him a star in many regards. He has laced "us" the fan for many years with his music with the southern anthem "Comin' Where I'm From" to the classic ode to his lady love "Charlene" to one of my favorites "Do You Feel Me". This dude has such a diverse audience and I think that speaks volumes for an artists. It shows that he/she is not pigeon-holed to one particular crowd.

Anthony came out ready to perform and he did just that. He feed off the energy of the crowd and did things I never seen him do on stage...dance! My man was feeling it for sure. He rocked a silver satin-like jacket,a fresh cap and a shirt and tie. He looked like a little dancing dime! LOL. But he did his thing nonetheless. He ran through a list of old and of course the new. I really was feeling the new tracks he displayed last night. The title track from his new album "The Point Of It All" is a cut and dry classic Hamilton track. It is soothing and pulls you in with his lyrics. The album drops on December 16th and this one album you need to cop! I know the term stocking stuffer is over used but not this time. For an artist who has shown grit and determination since the start of his career in the 90's, he is the epitome of hard work pays off. It was a pleasure seeing him do his thing giving us a taste of ballads to his raucous rock performance to eye-opening dance moves. You can tell this is a good time in life for Anthony and I'm glad he is deciding to share!

Check out some performance footage: Well you will have to wait for the performances. There is something with video upload. Damn!!!

Son of Soul

I must say there is some great things about being in the business “we” call the music biz. Yes, there are the bad things like getting laid-off, getting fired, did I mention laid-off? But let me harp on the good such as seeing a great singer shine on the stage doing his craft. I had that opportunity last night/this morning as I saw Raphael Saadiq do his thing at S.O.B.'s in New York. Now this in not the first time I've seen dude perform. But for some reason that I can't seem to explain this was his best performance out of the many times I've seen him.

I knew the night was going to be a good one once I walked in the spot and the DJ was banging some ATCQ, Kane and LL (did I mention I missed Hip-Honor's for this?) and that had my head bobbin' and my attention caught. Everyone must have been loving the vibe in the spot last night. I saw some Asian dude doing his best "So You Think You Can Dance" moves all night. You can tell this dude has watched "Moonwalker" one to many times. Shout out to Mike J! His lady friend was not that much better she was spazzing all over the place. It looked as though she was having an epileptic seizure. If rhythm came in the club and slapped her she still wouldn't have gotten it. LOL.

The night started with Emily King opening up with an acoustic set of songs. I love Emily, I truly do but she was boring. So let me move on. I knew the night was going to be a soulful one when the DJ played Marvin Gaye's rendition of "The National Anthem" to bring on Rapahel. By the way I, feel so patriotic when I hear that version. When Barack becomes Prez and I become Secretary of Music, I will take the proper measures and make Marvin's version become the official version. After a moment of reflection thinking of Barack as President, Raphael hit the stage in proper fashion. He was decked out in 60's attire letting everyone know that it's going to be a soulful night. He went right into "Love That Girl" off of his newest CD "The Way I See It". The dude had the choreographed moves down packed with his background singers. If the look of the one-time great leader singer David Ruffin of The Temptations was his hook he did him justice.

Raphael may be one of most under-rated singers/performers of my generation. This dude is a hell of a singer, writer and producer. He knows how to put on a show as well. The crowd went nuts as did I when he went into Lucy Pearl's "Dance Tonight". Although there was no Dawn Robinson his background singer did her thing (Sidebar - Why do some singers feel the need to stretch their eyes when they sing? This chick did that and it bugged me out. Please singers don't do that) they took it to "If I Had No Loot" which the shit in 93!
'
The show was laced with hit after hit with a touch of new joints in there as well. When he made it to the Tony!, Toni!, Tone! set the crowd was in this dudes hand's. "Lay Your Head On My Pillow" started it off followed by "It Never Rains In Southern California" to "Anniversary". The vibe was just right until this lady looking like Miss Roper cut in front of me so she could see. Damn you, Miss Roper!

This was one show that I greatly appreciated and enjoyed. There are perks to being in this biz and last night was one of them. Shout out to my girl Kathy Baker at Columbia for getting my late requesting ass in there! Raphael certainly didn't disappoint giving a "GREAT" show, and he closed out with a new joint of the album called "Sometimes", which has a gospel sound to it and it flows nicely. I was feeling the vibe and typing my notes for this blog until this drunken girl tried to slap my phone out of my hand. She is lucky that the song was spiritual because I felt one coming! Needless to say she didn't delete my notes thus this blog.

So do yourself a favor go and get Raphael Saddiq's newest album "The Way I See It". You will be taken back to a time when music was music and where singers actually sang. And while you're at it pull out some old Saadiq from his Oakland days with the 3 T's and Lucy Pearl and even his solo-releases. Thank you God for quality music! Let me go I have to get my shortie a log cabin up in Wis-can-sin! ;)

Don't forget to turn it up cuz' The Music Ain't Loud Enough!

Whatever You Want-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HVpTaQ8q7Y&feature=related

Oh Teedra, Oh sugar, where you been?

Okay, so I tried to rearrange some of the lyrics of Ready For The World's "Oh Sheila" give me a little credit. So last night I went out to see a singer that I've been digging on ever since she hit the scene in 2003 with the release of her biggest song "Be Your Girl". I remember when I was still doing radio in Baltimore, and I would play this record on my show at night, the lines would light up with women wanting to know who was this girl singing. The song was so catchy and spoke to the ladies at that time of what was going on in their life's. I was really expecting Teedra to be a prominent fixture on the female vocalist side for years to come. Well, that didn't happen and it wasn't her fault it happens to a lot of talented singers. I was happy to see her perform last night and still staying on the grind. The last time I saw her was maybe 2 years ago with Raphael Saddiq at The House of Blues on Sunset in Los Angeles.

She did her thing at that show and she didn't disappoint last night either. I got there around 8 or so since I wanted to see the opening act--Russell Taylor but the dude never went on! Well anyway the crowd was building and the time just kept lapsing as I stood by the bar chugging-down endless amounts of seltzer water with lime. I think she was suppose to hit the stage at 9 or so but the big dude kept coming up to the mic talking about how she was help up at the airport from her flight in L.A.

"She will be here in 20 minutes. I just got off the phone with her folks. Teedra Moses will be here in like 15 to 20 minutes." he said unsure. I'm not sure he was trying to convince us or him. So finally after a plate of fried yucca and a $20 plate of dried chicken thingies she finally hit the stage. I must say all of the venom that I built up waiting for her was quickly removed when she strutted on wearing a red dress that hugged her body tighter than I could! She apologized to her fans--well to the ones that decided to stay despite her tardiness. She grabbed that mic and went right at it! The crowd went bananas and the ladies started to rock and sing with her word for word. It was a beautiful sight. I love it when a artist can connect with their audience and she did just that.

The highlights of the night for me was when she did "Be Your Girl" the ladies in the spot sang that song hard. I was scooping looking for what honey I could get eye-contact with so she could sing to me. LOL. Well I was only looking at Teedra to be honest! Her set was on point she did a version of "Be Your Girl" with Mtume's "Juicy Fruit" which was dope! She bust into "Cherchez La Femme" by Se Si Bon, that had the crowd go nuts. Teedra most definitely did her thing last night. She looked good and sounded great. I had a great time despite at the end when this snake salesman and his plain-jane girlfriend stood next to me and started tongue dancing! Damn, man get a room! Anyway I'm sure her time to shine will resurface again and when it does I will be there to see her flourish.

Here is some Teedra for you just in case you need a refresher!

http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/--2169761

Shout out to my girl Fionna Bloom for putting me down on Teedra's show. The Bloom Effect is in full-effect mode!

Well until next time turn up the music...since The Music Ain't Loud Enough!

Grown Men on the Block....

Uh-oh, oh, oh, oh! The world might be coming to an end because quiet as kept I'm feeling the new album from New Kids On The Block! I remember when the album dropped I was at the Virgin Mega Store peeping the Young Jeezy album( which is a killa in it's own right) and I looked at the NKOTB joint and rolled my eyes. I said what can some 40 year dudes have to say? Well as I listen to the album right now they have a lot to say! This is a very good album. They came hard on this one with production from Polow Da Don, Teddy Riley and Akon. Now that is some strength right there and you not to mention the guest-appearances from Ne-Yo, The Pussycat Dolls and New Edition. To real with you the only reason I really had any interest to listen to album was for the New Edition joint. I'm a big fan of NE! It was good to see the two groups that Maurice Starr founded come together. There was mad tension between the two for many years since NE thought they were short-changed on the many benefits NKOTB received because they were a white pop group. I would have to agree NE never had dolls, lunchboxes, cartoon and etc. But time heals wounds as they say.

But this NKOTB is full of uptempo cuts that make you think is this the same dudes that rocked the scene 22 years ago. Yes, I know that they are grown-ass men but you get what I mean. This album is very refreshing the production is on point there is no T-Pain on this joint too! So that right there grants it 100 cool points from me.

This a all-around grown folk album as it should be. If you're expecting bubble-gum lyrics and mess like that...sorry for you! It doesn't seem to matter their fans are mature as well and it didn't hurt their numbers. The debut at number 2 selling 95,000 copies. So that is not the numbers they did back in the 80's, but hell times they have a changed. The economy is ruined people don't go to music stores anymore so what do you expect. The album is still rolling strong on the charts in the Top 30.

So do yourself a favor and go cop this joint. Again, I know I normally don't do this but you need to trust me on this. Until next time turn it up cuz' "The Music Ain't Loud Enough"!

Old School - http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/--2164983

New School - http://new.music.yahoo.com/singleVideo/?vid=157380834

Stop the Madness!

Guess who's back? Stretch is back! Guess who's back? Stretch is back...Stretch is back...Stretch is back!!! And I'm mad as hell! Well let's just say I'm a little tired of all of these artists out here using pitch correction on their songs. I mean the days of Roger Troutman with Zapp with their success in the early 80's, with Roger being the musical genius he was using the "talk box" to help enhance his music. Of course one of Roger's predecessors who was a music savant in his own-right of course is Teddy Riley. Teddy took the game to a whole-new level with the creation of the New Jack Swing era.

Well we all know how these two men changed music with there talents and style. I'm just tired of the new cats in the game that have a case of the "lazy ass" in them. It seems like every time I turn on the radio or go to a site to listen to new music there is someone using pitch correction to substitute their lack of talent.

Culprit number 1...The Circus Ring Leader himself--T-Pain!

This dude is the epitome of what I call the "lazy-ass artist" I'm not doubting his producing skills but as an artist this dude lacks that certain "je ne sais quoi" to him. Ever since I heard "I'm In Love With A Stripper", I was like what the hell is this? But like most songs they tend to grow on you. But this dude has been that cancer to music that just won't seem to go away! No matter how many treatments you give him he just reappears. Each time worse than the time before. You don't believe me here he is straight murdering Keith Sweat's "I Want Her" on VH1's Hip Hop Honors.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UkXwKbn3Gs

The dude is just horrible! He could have been on that horrific show that was on MTV "Rock The Cradle". I don't know who is worst at signing Al B. Sure's son or T-Pain? Well I know that they both suck ass!

I just wish that cats would get it together. Long gone are the days of the New Jack era where production and music was at it's best. Long gone are the days of finely produced albums by Stevie, Quincy, Prince, Jam and Lewis. The shit that's out now is just that...SHIT! No wonder my i-Tunes is full of music from the late 80's to mid to late 90's.

Now everyone thinks that they need the service of the "auto-tune" or the "talk-box" to have a hit. The answer is no you don't need that mess. You can use it to enhance a song if need be but don't let it be your major player in your song. Now Lil' Wayne and Chris Brown are using it and Chris doesn't need it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n3ylXxmPsQ - Chris Brown "Forever"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rc6kmI-UdZM - Lil' Wayne "Got Money"

Well Wayne is using it in just about every hook he sings rather auto-tunes on. LOL. Alright back to the lecture at hand. Is it me or does Pain look like the Dr. Teeth of Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem Band from The Muppet Show?

Lets get back to the good times of music. Will we ever see those days again? Only time will tell but we always have the memories of the good days.

Maiysha--A Breath of Fresh Air

July 30, 2008 will go down as the day I saw a musical savior! Yes, I know that is a really big thing to say about someone, but trust me when I say that this sista can carry the torch. Her name is Maiysha. Write that down, take a picture, embed it into your memory because you don't want to forget her.

I went out to see her at Tillman's in NYC for a showcase and to be honest I didn't know what to expect. I do admit I am very picky when it comes to music being that I know the sounds and styles that appeal to me. So as I'm sitting at the table with some network and label friends waiting for Maiysha to grace the stage, I take in the intimate spot that is Tillman's. It is a great venue for a showcase for an artist to shine or at least attempt to shine. The band began to play this funky jam that had me bobbing my head to the beat. The background singers began vamping a bit when all of a sudden this statuesque woman in a black dress with tassels a la' Tina Turner came confidently to the stage. She stood there and took in the room and began to sing. At this point my eyes were fixated on her in that dress. She had legs for days and I had that look on my face from when you were a kid and you got caught looking or doing something you were not suppose to do! But when I heard her sing I quickly got myself together and was drawn in from her voice! Maiysha not only was shining she was glowing!

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=58183314

Maiysha can S-I-N-G! I believe that is an understatement to describe this woman and her talents. This woman represents a whole lot more. When I was at Yahoo Music, I created a station dedicated to artists such as Maiysha called "Soul Revival" and she is the epitome of what that station represents. Artists like her, Eric Roberson, Conya Doss, Alice Smith, Amp Fiddler and Rashaan Patterson are truly what makes music a beautiful source of comfort.

Soul Revival Station http://music.yahoo.com/launchcast/stations/station.asp?i=46745645

Maiysha is hands down a beautiful woman--remember my eyes did get stuck looking at her. LOL. But she also exudes confidence, strength, sensuality and that sure star-power when she is on the stage singing. Her vocals and lyrical content are so on point. I couldn't think of who she reminds me of which may be a good thing since that means she defines her own style and sound. Her set included songs that represented soul, rock, progressive, funk and a hint of reggae. Maiysha is like "31 Flavors" with the different genres in her repertoire. She even has a cover of former Genesis lead-singer Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer." She puts her own flavor and touch on it that makes it work from a woman's perspective. I know I was yelling towards the end of the song, "Hit me! Please hit me!"

Watch a live performance of her song "Chase" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKY5vI4CD_w

I love finding or being introduced to new artists and Maiysha is no exception. I know she will flourish in this game we call music. She has the entire package but most importantly she can sing and sing from the soul. In today's age of Pro Tools, voice enhancing tools and just plain no talent, Maiysha is again that breath of fresh air. I know with her in the business; music will still thrive and prosper.

Watch a live performance of her first single "Wanna Be" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTlxloaM0m0

Make sure to cop her album when it drops on August 26th, entitled "This Much Is True."

Amy Winehouse aka Miss Can't Get Right....

The Good Amy!

7-23-2011
Addendum: How eerily ironic is it that I wrote this piece almost 3 years to the date of Amy's death. I can't tell you how I was feeling on Saturday when I read that she had died. I quickly remembered about this piece I wrote about the downfall drugs can do a person. I somewhat predicted some sort of demise of this young soul starlet. It saddens me that her demons overtook her and eventually took her away from this earth. My prayers go out to her family, friends and fans who loved her regardless. Gone is another star who shined bright but burned out way before her time! May God bless the soul of Amy Winehouse and may she be in a place where she can no longer hurt anymore.

This is starting to become a tired re-run as far as I'm concerned about Amy "Dope Fiend" Winehouse! This talented woman has definitely been through the "craze maze" since she started. It really saddens me to see her literally destroy herself so the whole world can see. It's like a bad sitcom on Fox or the CW.

Amy can go down in history with the likes of a Sara Vaughn, Aretha, Bessie Smith, "Ma" Rainey and even to a certain degree Mary J. Blige. But the course Amy is on she is headed down the path of a Janis Joplin, Billie Holiday, Mama Cass and recent train-wreck Whitney "Hell to Naw" Houston!

Amy is a star but her light is rapidly starting to diminish. I'm starting to agree with Natalie Cole when she was opposed to the Academy giving Amy all of those Grammies this past year. That only adds fuel to the fire. The label and her "so-called" inner-circle only have one thing in mind with her and that's that "Money...Money...Yeah...Yeah!!"

The Bad Amy!
Yes, it has been more than documented that this woman has her demons but I really think someone needs to seriously intervene and shut her down for a bit. But that ain't going to happen as long as she is a hot-commodity and the talk of the town. And let's not forget a media darling!

Peep Amy for what she is a talented woman and not abuse her and take advantage of her weakness and insecurities that she possesses. Do yourself a favor and listen to her "Frank" album sometime this week. You will get a sense of how poignant this woman is and can be in the world of music.

Eye Candy and New Music- Hell Yeah!

Now I will officially "Google" her! Teyana Taylor getting her "Tyra" down the runway! This Skateboard-P protege is doing her thing. My only question is where is the album? She does have a new single entitled "Move" and I'm suggesting they do that with the album!

Well that's my eye-candy for you fella's and I guess for some of you ladies too! She mos def has some soup coolers on her face region! LOL. But let's get to the hot shit! New music for you and yours!

Peep the new Common feat. Pharell "Announcement"
http://www.sinternet.com/newmusic30.php
This track is crazy! Pharell laced this joint like it should be laced. Common comes through lyrically like he always does. "This is hip-hop baby! I fien' to the tip-top baby!" Too be honest I think this is probably the best track Star Trek has done in awhile!


In other new music news I'm sorry to report we have a massive destruction of a classic! The culprits at-large are 4 dudes from Florida who go by the name of Pretty Ricky! These bama's destroyed H-Town's "Knockin' Boots" from the roota to the toota! I do give some props to the new dude on the vocals but the I'm sure the other "serfs" I mean rappers are not on the background vocals. Now if the label was smart they should just team this new dude up with the old dude and get another singing dude and...BOOM! You get a new Pretty Ricky! The rest of them horny raggedy-ass mouth cats can tryout for one of those reality love shows on VH-1. One thing is for sure...ladies you will get your ab fix on from this video a la D'Angelo's "Untitled (How Does It Feel)"

Sidebar: Why does the chubby dude have a high-top fade? If he wants to stay in the group he needs to hit the gym instead of hitting them cakes!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMX2j6MJHIE Wack remix version

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrBnEaQd4ZY Classic H-Town original!

For the hell of it here the D'Angelo video for you ladies! Pre-pudgy D'Angelo at that. Remember Stretch loves the ladies! Yes, I do!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ULZuCK_fgo

Lastly, I'm digging this John Legend and Andre' 3000 collabo! It reminds me a lot of Outkast's "Hey Ya" but that's a good thing. It definitely rocks and gets you moving! This is really a little walk on the dope side for John since he rarely does any uptempo joints. 3000 shines on his 16 as if you didn't know. I'm looking forward to Legends album for sure and also would like to see a video for this joint too! Check it out and tell me what you think.
http://www.sinternet.com/newmusic30.php


Alright, I'm out of here for this week. I hope I made you giggle like a piglet! (pay attention to the lyrics) Enjoy your week and remember to turn the music up!

Shoutouts to Vinny and the crew over at S.I.N. always on top with the hotness!

Stretch

DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!

Wow, my first initial blog entry of many more I hope! I guess I can thank my former boss for sparking the fire under me to start blogging. I have been a little out of sorts lately as I do my best to find a job in the digital world. My plan for this blog is to hit you up with the latest music and give my "superior" opinion on the tracks, artists and just the music business in general. But this first blog is going to be my vent blog! Yea, like the "Mad Rapper" I'm a little peeved to say the least.



I'm sure many of you can relate to being laid-off...and I must say this shit sucks! I know the whole economy and all is in a complete and utter mess but damn! It wasn't that long ago I was doing my thing at Yahoo Music programming the hottest music on the 35 radio stations I oversaw. How quickly the tide comes in and wipes it all away. This is my first time ever being laid-off and I have to say it has been a struggle adjusting. Which leads me to the title of this blog..."Don't Believe The Hype!"



"Some media is the whack You believe it's true, it blows me through the roof Suckers, liars get me a shovel Some writers I know are damn devils For them I say don't believe the hype"



The prophetic words of Chuck D illustrates how I feel about so-called "friends" in the business. I know this is a bad time for everybody in the United States. But I am a person who holds true to his word and I expect the same in the return. I can remember when I first got laid-off, I was getting calls from cats saying, "Yo, Stretch! Man, I got you son. Whatever you need I can get you in here. We or they need a person like you." I was feeling like damn this is what's up! Cats got my back now that is true looking out...better yet that is true friendship. Now not all have been that way to me. So shoutout to those who have been a champion for me! But like that cornball cop in Beverly's Hill Cop, I fell for old banana in the tail pipe routine.



Working the world of "new media" and dealing with music there is so many jobs out there. Yes, it's all about who you know more than what you know. That is evident since there are a lot of people out here holding jobs that make me scratch my dome and wonder why? I digress though back to the lecture at hand. It just makes me laugh when people open their mouth to spew nonsense to you . If I want that I can listen to a 4 month old baby "goo-goo, gaa-gaa" even they make more sense than grown-ups at times. I have been out of work since March and I can't keep count the many times someone has told me how they can get me into a job only to be let down. What is the purpose of having contacts when they only fear that you're trying to take their job? Dude, I don't want your gig! I want my own job! We are all on this earth to help one another but I guess some of us wasn't privy to that memo. I know there are massive ego's in this business, hell, I have big one myself. But again I'm all about helping someone out no matter what. And if I can't help them I'm honest and let them know.



I just find it funny that people in so-called "high positions" just talk to hear themselves talk. I guess it's that mentality that you get when you work in the system. We all sit at behind our desk or at our cube with our feet up on the desk, looking at celebrity gossip websites and chucking down our lattes. Pretending to do something productive with our time and all only to be playing ourselves in the long-run.



This period of non-work as been like a true political game of flip-flop at it's finest. So many shoulda, coulda and woulda's thrown in my direction.



"Their pens and pads I'll snatch 'Cause I've had it I'm not an addict fiendin' for static I'll see their tape recorder and grab it No, you can't have it back silly rabbit"



The whole notion of someone saying they got your back on helping you find employment is full of shit! I'm not saying that I need the person to set-up the interview, go inside with me and do all the talking for me. I'm just asking for a chance. Just open the door slightly and I will kindly kick the rest in. Be a person of your word. If you say be about it! I guess I have been able to reassess my outlook on who is a friend and who is an associate. It's funny how many "friends" are being put in the associate category. I have seen sides of folks that I have never seen before. And for what...a job?! It's just a job. I don't want theirs at all. But with the recession on our backs I guess folks are feeling the pressure like no other.



"Rock the hard jams - treat it like a seminar Teach the bourgeois, and rock the boulevard Some say I'm negative But they're not positive But what I got to give...The media says this "



I just know this when I do get off the bench and back into the game my perspective won't change at all. I will still go and do my job to the best of my ability and not get caught up on a title or how much money I make. I will still do what it is intended of me and that is to be a "man" of my word and help out as many folks as I can. So do me a favor...if a friend comes at you boasting about how they can help you with this and that....DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!



The views in this blog are all mine and I stand by them 100% and if I offended anyone that wasn't my intention. Your conscious is just talking to you I guess. I'm just being real!
