Okay, the Janelle MonÃ¡e interview is finally up and ready for you guys to read and/or listen to! It was definitely an interesting interview is all I can say. Soulful, spunky, and colorful with her style as well as sound IS Janelle Monae Robinson. She is a “modern day Dorothy (Wizard of Oz)” in search of that which is Metropolis, also the name of her upcoming album, off to the WAS – the Wondaland Arts Society that is – she went to get those creative juices following. In the interview we talked about everything from where she got started originally to her expectations prior to the near future. The soft spoken angel was not too shy to express her take on today’s society and profoundly had me second guessing on just about damn near everything. As usual, you can’t leave comments here, but you can definitely leave all feedback on the interview page!

ALBUM REVIEW: Amerie – Because I Love It

After months of postponing Amerie will finally release her third studio album, Because I Love It, Summer of 2007. Luckily enough, I had the honor of listening to the album in it’s full entirety and so I decided on writing a quick review, as well as posting a couple songs for your listening pleasure, for you guys because I love you so much and I want to share this beautiful music. The album talks about some adversities; “Forecast,” “Gotta Work” typical trails in relationships; “Hate2LoveU,” “Somebody Up There,” “When Lovin’ You Was Easy,” “Paint Me Over” as well as love; “Crush,” “That’s What You Are,” “Crazy Wonderful” all which are always excellent mediums in an album, in my opinion. It also has a few dance groves; “Take Control,” “Some Like It,” “1 Thing,” “Losing U.” My favorite track is, of course, “Gotta Work” – the anthem of my life, “Crush,” and “Paint Me Over.”

Nas and Kelis Treated Like Terrorists @ House of Blues Nas cancelled a recent Hip-Hop Is Dead tour date in San Diego, CA amidst claims that he and wife Kelis encountered racist club employees, who treated them like terrorists.

â€œWe came to the club, all excited. Couldnâ€™t wait to get here. [The tour venues] have been sold out every night. We go to the venue and they ainâ€™t let me in. I was outside with my wife and they treated us like terrorists,â€ Nas explains. â€œIt was a little racist and we just donâ€™t tolerate that. I just want everybody to know, donâ€™t tolerate any form of racism. â€œThere is no other side of the story. We had a whole bunch of security guys rush outside to me and my wife like we were terrorists. Itâ€™s not like I came with 50 guys or nothing. It was just me, my wife, my DJ and my staff for the Hip-Hop Is Dead tour and they came at us like we was Osama Bin Laden or somebody.â€ (Source)

San Diego’s Z-90.3 night radio host Tre interviewed the Queens-bred rapper and Nas expressed his grievance with the House of Blues on Wednesday night (May 2), the evening the show was to occur. I’m surprised Kelis ain’t set it off on them! We all saw when she got Punk’d, Lol, urrrgh I love Kelis.
