Throwback Joint: Freak Like Me

I forgot how much I enjoyed Adina Howard. I was listening to Beyonce's first CD and she has a song that I used to think sampled Freak Like Me. Turns out Adina sampled this from Bootsy Collins. And to think, I thought she was so innovative! Well, I guess she is responsible for the "Pump Pump!" At any rate, this song is raunchy as hell, and I love it. Hell, I might even make it my new theme song.

New Monica: Still Standing

This is the new Monica song. She had a reality show showing her trying to bounce back after a flop of an album and avoid Amerie-dom. I love this song and it's inspired me to make a new playlist of inspirational,dust yourself off songs. I needed something to get me down from the ledge after listening to "Breakups to Breakdowns" I like her talking in the beginning. It makes me feel like I'm at church. Well, if my pastor said "real talk" and "mama" Ok, forget it.

RiRi Broke?

Word on the street is that Rihanna is broke as HELL! Now if that isn't some Disturbia type ish right there, I don't know what is. Ok, so why is it in 2008, we are still having people going the Toni Braxton/TLC route? I am not sure if I fully believe the story, but RiRi was signed at a young age and we know that Jay Z has no problems playing his artists (see: Teirra Mari. If you're saying "who?" then my case rests) The story is coming from someone who was fired, so that is kind of a strike against the story in my book. I don't know who to believe. I just guess I'll have to wait for RiRi's Behind the Music. Whether or not the story is true, I still think old girl needs to stop eating her feelings. Poor Chris Brown looks like he may snap at any given moment.
