T-Pain’s “Thr33 Ringz” Is a Universoul Circus
Like all good artificial intelligence T-Pain has become self-aware. “Teddy Bend Her Ass” knows that Kanye, Lil Wayne and Ron Browz have jacked his whole style to keep their party going. So what does he do for a third act?

Q-Tip Plays A Guitar Hero On “The Renaissance”
Q-Tip and Kobe Bryant have a lot in common (and no, it has nothing to do with Nas’ baby mother ). As a member of A Tribe Called Quest Kamal obtained two (and some would argue three) championship rings with the classic Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders. But since parting ways with Phife, Shaheed and Jarobi in 1998, the MC/Actor/DJ and Nicole Kidman dater has been on a quest …er..mission…to obtain a ring on his own.

Is Robin Thicke’s “Something Else” something to buy?
As the title implies, Robin Thicke’s latest effort, Something Else, offers an alternative to the mainstay R&B, which lately seems best suited for poppin’ and twerkin’. The largely self produced set is a chivalrous assembly of live instrumentation and intentional vocal arrangements.

Bun B’s II Trill is A Prescription for Dumb Azz Rappers
Being born and raised in Brooklyn during the 80s I came late to UGK’s Texas Tea party. But with the lack of real substance in mainstream hip-hop nowadays I’ll fly to Mars to get a proper fix. On his second solo CD, II Trill, UGK’s Bun B (ne’ Bernard Freeman) proves once again that he can stand on his own in the face of adversity.

CD Review: N.E.R.D.’s Seeing Sounds Condemned by Hellen Keller Society
N.E.R.D
Seeing Sounds
Interscope
From the jump N.E.R.D’s new CD Seeing Sounds smacks me over the head with nostalgia. The cinematic intro to “Time for Some Action” borrows from the score to the movie “Psycho,” a little trick that Busta Rhymes pulled for the video to “Gimme Some More” almost ten years ago. And then after about a minute this rumbling bass and drum combo stirs up memories of the Dismasters’ “Small Time Hustler” from the recesses of my subconscious. By the time its over I’m still not sure what I’ve listened to, which is how I feel throughout much of this CD. Read more about CD Review: N.E.R.D.’s Seeing Sounds Condemned by Hellen Keller Society

CD REVIEW: Nas Tells Haters To Get Off His Back
45 times. That’s how often Nas uses the word “nigger” on his new Untitled CD, the one he wanted to name after the racially charged expletive. Honestly, Lil Wayne probably drops more N-bombs on Tha Carter III and more importantly, this CD is pretty damned good, which makes Nas’ emphasis on the word that more disheartening.
