New Music Reviews 4 the Week

Keyshia Cole Ft. Nicki Minaj – “I Ain’t Thru”
http://hulkshare.com/wl7m2ytjm9cm

- Keyshia’s first single off of her upcoming 4th album due out in December. I am in love the beat which features an organ. Nicki enters during the second verse spitting her typical Nicki Minaj lyrics, the song is not a club banger but I am feeling it either way. I think this is a good track to announce her return after becoming a new Mother and Fiancé.


T.I. Ft. Chris Brown – “Get Back Up”

Even tho T.I. is having a list of issues involving the police, that has not stopped him from staying on top of his music game. He teams up with “Takers” co-star Chris Brown on this new track. In this song they refer to getting back up after getting knocked down. Both T.I. and Chris Brown have had their share of issues over the past year and a half. This track has a really good message and the beat is good to.


Flo-Rida - “Turn Around (5, 4, 3, 2, 1,)”
http://hulkshare.com/mn066o1oq626


So when I heard that this was a Euro-dance track I was a lil nervous about how it would sound but after listening to it I can honestly say that this track is hot! This is most def a club banger, ladies (and some gentlemen) this track will make you want to hit the dance floor for some booty shakin’. This track is on his upcoming third album “Only 1 Flo” due to be released on November 30th.


Young Chris Ft. Rico Love – “Break A Bitch Down”

http://hulkshare.com/erhp4oxolhk4

I really think this song is so-so. I am not completely enthused by this track.It really sounds like the typically southern rap song and very similar to Souja Boy as far as the way that the lyrics are delivered. I was also caught off guard by Rico Love on this track since he is typically known for Euro-dance tracks. This track really didn’t impress me


Rihanna Ft. Drake – “What’s My Name”

http://hulkshare.com/pez4i5m0x37w

This is an interesting track with a slight island groove to it. Beyond the rumored relationship between Rihanna and Drake this is a good track, almost has a lil summertime feel to it. This will be the send single from Rihanna’s new album “Loud” due to be released November 16th


Monica Ft. Trey Songz – “Here I Am” (Remix)


Monica FINALLY releases her third single 7 months after her platinum selling album “Still Standing” dropped this past March. Although this is understandable since she was on tour with Trey for his nationwide “Passion, Pain & Pleasure” tour. The song “Here I Am” was originally set to be remixed with fellow label mate Jamie Foxx. Monica says “It’s a special song to me because it’s totally different than what I normally do” in a Rap-Up TV interview. The song was written by Ester Dean and was originally written for a man. The lyrics were changed around to suit a woman and I can say all in all I like this track. I actually think the album version is better tho.

Raz B Management Responses to latest Molesatation Accusations with Marques Houston & Chris Stokes

Below is a statement from Raz B Management team that contacted Andresflava to make clarity as to why Raz B decided to bring up the accusations again in regards to Chris Stokes and Marques Houston Molesting him when he was 13. Just to be clear Raz B is now 27.

Statement:

Raz is a former member of B2K and now a solo artist. When Raz made the original statement back in '07 he wasn't as tactful with his approach as we (his team at the time) would have liked. As his publicist and part of his management team for over 5years, I obviously know he has a fan base and his movements are watched. However, his personal inner turmoil is not for the fans per se. How many fans have been abused (be it emotionally, physically,or verbally), how many have been raped, how many have been neglected, how many have come forward only to not be believed? How many fans have been arrested or in a fight for acting out because they were so angry and felt so stifled because no one would listen? How many of us have issues in our own lives that when we get to discussing, we still get angry, no matter how old we are and no matter how long it's been since it originally happened.




Raz has been in this industry for years and years before B2K even became a household name. Raz did an interview on the Doo Dirty show about a week ago and he said, "I was a kid when I entered the industry. Everyone is around when they want to make money off of you, but no one teaches you the business or how to handle yourself in certain situations" Everyone is talking about what they "WOULD HAVE" done had it happened to them, at that age he SHOULD HAVE known better and so on. But those of us who are fortunate enough to never have had that experience cannot and should never talk about what we woulda, and he coulda, shoulda, done. You never know how you are going to respond to ANY situation until it happens to you.



People are going to believe what they want in any situation. I'd like to think that people are more intelligent then they let on. Raz has not spoken to Quindon and neither Raz nor myself knew that Vibe had contacted Quindon when they did an interview on the whole situation in '08. I cannot speak on Quindon's behalf but Raz is aware of the Eddie Long allegations. So while everyone is like why is he talking about it again, because it is in his face again. He is Maurice Robinson, Anthony Flag, Jamal Parris, and Spencer LeGrande. He is every little boy or girl that trusted an adult and had their innocence taken in the process. He was recently sent paperwork to serve Chris, the Eddie long case, Omarion calling him bi-polar on the radio these are constants in his life regardless if the media is around to see. It's not "okay I said it in 07 and now I will say it again in '10." These things didn't go away because the cameras did. People will continue to judge, and joke, and speculate and that is fine and that is their right to do so but ultimately it's about Raz, and Quindon, and anyone else being able to deal with their past in order to be able to move on with their future and regardless of how we feel about it or what we think, we should respect that.

It's like with gay people. People say gays aren't born that way. Would anyone purposely want to be something where they can be beaten, taunted, bullied, harassed, or killed. If Raz wanted "attention" he could have done a number of things. I don't know many men, especially black straight men that say I'm gonna tell the world that my cousin molested me just for shits and giggles....

Brox Gang Accused of Torturing Gay Man and 3 others Make 1st Court Appearance





Eight gay-hating Bronx gangbangers accused of one of the city's most savage crimes in years appeared in court Sunday to face charges in what Mayor Bloomberg called an act of "pure evil."


The eight were hit with a slew of charges including gang assault, sexual assault, robbery, weapons possession and hate crimes. The gang assault count alone is enough to put them away for 25 years.


None of the defendants - Mendez, 23; Elmer Confresi, 23; David Rivera, 21; Bryan Almonte, 17; Steven Caraballo, 17; Nelson Falu, 17; Denis Peitars, 17; and Brian Cepeda, 16, all of the Bronx - entered pleas.


They are due back in court Oct. 14. Only Peitars and Caraballo were offered the chance to post $50,000 cash bail.
A ninth suspect, Rudy Vargas-Perez, 22, remained at large.
Members of a penny-ante crew calling themselves the Latin King Goonies, the defendants are accused of a depraved rampage that began at 3 a.m. on Oct. 3, after learning a 17-year-old wannabe recruit had been seen with a 30-year-old gay man.
In the abandoned three-story house at 1910 Osborne Place, they used as a clubhouse - and turned into a makeshift torture chamber - they allegedly stripped the boy naked, beat him, slashed him with a box cutter and sodomized him with a plunger handle.
That evening, a second 17-year-old was tied up in the house and interrogated about his relationship the 30-year-old man.
They then allegedly lured the older man to the house, stripped him, tied him to a chair and forced the 17-year-old to hit him in the face and burn his genitals with cigarettes as they jeered.
They then allegedly battered the older man with chains and sodomized him with a small baseball bat.
Some of the gangbangers also went to his 40-year-old brother's apartment and beat him, and forcing him to give them $1,000 dollars by putting him on the phone with his terrified captive brother.
They left him tied to his bed with his eyes, nose and mouth covered with tape, close to suffocation.
The other victims were allowed to go free but warned they would be killed if they revealed what happened to them.
The gangbangers allegedly cleaned their torture chamber with bleach, ripped up carpet and repainted the walls in an attempt to cover their tracks.
Tipsters told police what happened, and cops began arresting the crew Wednesday.
"The 30-year-old victim is terrified. He's in hiding. This gang still has leaders and soldiers out there," said one police source.

J L King FULL OF SHIT 6 YEARS LATER!!!

So just a few moments ago I watched Oprah who brought back the spokesmen to the DL population J L King who in 2004 said that he wasn't a gay man but today is saying he is a "Proud Gay Man" well what a difference 6 years makes. He acknowledged that he basically generalized his actions and lumped us all in (Gay, Bi, DL) which is so not the case. Caught up? Good! Now I have dated Men on the "DL" (yes relationship) where the main setting for it is discretion no in public outings when you live in the area, most will never meet your friends and if your cool with that then cool. He (JL)was a married man who wrote this book trying to expose a life that rejected him. When you live such a life and it's good as he said in 2004 then why would you write about the life you enjoyed living in such an ugly light? See to me watching JL today seems like he is your typical jaded queen who is mad at himself for spending his life trying to cover his track when he was gay all along... i.e. Did you see his facial hair trimmed and dyed? If this is the true you then why are you trying to appear younger? He still did not accept the responsibility of the fact that for 6 years we as open gay black men had to defend ourselves based on the garbage called his book. He didn't even mention his book probably because he now wants to be a part of the group he basically threw under the bus. I could care less about what his new found gayness (which was just as gay in 2004) brings you,you made your bed now rot in it. He may just want his next book title... ugh! This has been Brazil @4ever_Brazil and that's my 2 cents

Housewives of ATL... Is BACK...

Mondays are no longer family night... With the return of the most popular cast of the Housewives brand on Bravo. The season kicked of with Ne Ne in this long black backless gown in which she clearly was not advised well with the shot of her back (roll central) Ne Ne I love you girl but don't do it again. Kim with still a jacked up wig.. I mean Girl whats up with your wig line because barbie hair ain't working anymore.Sheree seems to be more down to earth so far but what's with this acting stuff... ummm yeah... Then there is Kandi who i love but not on this show anymore. She really doesn't have much going on dating a Baltimore Raven who is basically a nobody but then again he's on the show now. Phaedra Parks is one of the two new Housewives which I don't think she belongs on the show because I'm already like "who cares" as an Entertainment Lawyer in ATL I'd rather hear about the juicy stuff her clients are going to court for.. Her Husband is on the tasty side so we shall see.

Now Dwight is clearly trying to buy up a reason to stay on the show. with him and Ne Ne on the outs there was no reason to be apart of the show any longer. So in walks Phaedra his new meal ticket and there with rumors that he loaned Greg 10,000 in cash (who does that?) because of money issues and 30,000 for Sheree's low budget fashion show last season there is a contract for Dwight to be on the 3rd season. If you missed it trust it me it is worth the hour. However this show has no Glam and that was Lisa (so so dressing) but she was clearly the balance between Ne Ne, Sheree, and Kim. I miss you Girl... until next time This is Brazil @4ever_Brazil with my 2 cents...
