What Have We Done by Bone Thugs-N-Harmony

I love BTNH when I was young and lyrically they rap with sense and content that's why I have respect for the rappers and their songs.

What Have We Done is a mix from Michael Jackson's song Earth Song I totally dig the track, from the lyrics to the beat and especially Michael's vocals. I love Mother Earth that's why both Earth Song and this song speaks magnitude to me. It's powerful Mix, the lyrics is talking about reality (PREACH IT!), the chorus is rad, Michael's 'aaaaaaahhhh' ads to the 'heaviness' of the track.

I love the song so much it's just powerful, I'm having goosebumps everytime I hear it.

Music| Blueprint 3 - Jay-Z

Never been a Jay-Z fan, I know it's shame on my ignorance. All I'm gonna say is the first 4 tracks of the album was enough to convert me as a Jay-Z fan. this album is good, every song is from 1st to finish. There are also 4 tracks that stood out, placed it on the playlist hear it out for yourself.

MySpace Playlist at MixPod.com

Empire State of Mind is a wonderful, powerful track both the content and Alicia Keys' vocals. The song makes me want to live in New York then again who doesn't want to live in Big Apple. as usual Ms. Keys is 'da bomb' ;) powerful vocals.


Run This Town ft. Rihanna, Kanye West - neither a fan of Rihanna nor Kanye West (this is even before the VMA incident) after hearing this track, this was the time when I truly appreciate Rihanna as a singer-- she can sing! love her vocals here. on Kanye well never really liked him as rapper but his alright in this track.


Forever Young ft. Mr. Hudson - the lyrical content is good.

Venus vs Mars - I have a thing for a freestyle kind of rap single, I'm not making sense I know coz' I don't know how to explain how I feel regarding this track...I'm just gonna' say it's an enjoyable track. I like it.

So Ambitious is a nice track, I've always liked Pharrell, A Star is Born usual inspiration type of song good track, D.O.A (death of auto tune) let's just say I have the same issue with jay-Z regarding auto tune so yeah I love this track. I could go on and on talking about how good this album is. I suggest you close this and BUY BLUEPRINT 3!

Downfall


Hip-Hop Orchestra/Rock Beat


friggin awesome.

Music| Bass!

Finally some music I could dance too.
Thank you Michael for tickling my dancing bone again haha

Fun Fact: Michael made me into a frustrated dancer -- in a good way coz' am enjoying it




comment: it's amusing coz' this is an upbeat track, I can see the artist dancing but kinda seems that he's not really a 'dancer' dancer...am I making sense lol anyways can't tell that much just seen a couple of his vids...well whatever just enjoy the vid ;)

BASS.BASS.BASS.BASS

MJ| Unreleased Track 'A Place With No Name'

Song Info:
A Place With No Name (1971/2000) (Dewey Bunnell, ???)
Michael Jackson
Cover Version of the 1972 hit single A Horse With No Name by America
Outtake of the album INVINCIBLE (2001)

The song -- "A Place with No Name" -- sounds similar to the song "A Horse with No Name" released by the group America back in 1971. We're told several years ago America's manager gave his group's permission for Jackson to record the song, "A Place with No Name" -- despite the similarity.

America's current manager, Jim Morey, who was also Michael's manager in the late 80's and early 90's, tells us, "The band was honored that Michael chose to do their song and they hope it becomes available for all Michael's fans to hear."

It's unclear when Michael recorded the song.

Note: This is a cover song before you start slamming this is a rip-off get your facts straight! It's a Cover!

80s| Art Of Noise - Moments In Love

Intro is so @_@
the vid is so 80's it's just so out there and makes you WTF? lol
pretty cool-reliving the past ;)

The Mitchell Brothers - Michael Jackson

I remembered playing this song ahah first thought was 'oh cool' and now it's even cooler, I just have this urge to fucking learn that spin move. How I wish I could MOVE LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON.

three spins.....srsly I'd be a happy Marshmallow for like a decade or so...

LaToya| Home

I must admit, this is the first track I heard from LaToya and something hit me, damn the Jackson family can really sing. Why do I have to be born in the 90s? Why did I have to miss all of this? *sigh* This is really great track, LaToya's voice is soothing, the beat blends well, the lyrics don't even wanna read, not right now. Damn those tears kept rolling again...anyways song for Mike or not, this track is good.

Song Information

Released July 28, 2009
Recorded 2002
Genre Pop
Length 3:57 (Radio Edit), 4:44 (Album Version)
Label Ja-Tail Records, Bungalo Records
Producer Jeffré Phillips

OT|Additional Note:
I've always loved Buckethead or anyone who can fucking pick-up a guitar and just play and pour their heart out. I stumbled upon a post which led me to his website and I was shocked that Buckethead had MJ influence in him--well not really shocked but like Rock?A Guitarist? ok getting little naive here are there any rock artist that has MJ influence in 'em?

some really nice acoustic work :)

Quote from Mike saw this on MJJC (this was someone's siggy)

"I like to take sounds and put them under the microscope and talk about how we want to manipulate the character of it." ~Michael Jackson

this made me LAUGH my heart out,
c'mon Mike how can you even see a sound?lol
*sigh* love his humor

Finally 7hours and some Rant lol

It's almost two months since I've been clamoring about me, not able to sleep. Several weeks after, paranoia partnered with anxiety worsened the whole thing. I sought in Milk and Honey--Milk has whatever substance it has...but it is said that Milk helps put you to sleep so out of desperation I just did that It worked am not continuing it now and am doing pretty well--sleeping.lol

Coincidentally on June 25, the tragic day, it's been reported that Michael suffered from insomnia and was asking for sedatives--that freaked me out coz' this kinda happened to me, well of course not as grave, I wasn't asking for sedatives...was just asking what can I do to sleep...coz' this is like my longest sleepless nights and am no longer happy and I was desperate to get some rest. I remembered forcing my mom to give me some herbal or like sleep aid tabs to help me sleep. I so thank my mom for not allowing me to take those meds. Keep in my mind: Meds are Bad!

Finally, last night, I dunno if I was so drained or exhausted because when my head hit pillow I was sleeping not like sleep-sleep, but like 'long-relaxed-sleep'.

so yay! for me I can finally sleep and for 3 days straight now I've been having MJ songs as my lullaby kinda like what I did when I was 10 :D I used to play Dangerous album often, I would always wait for 'Will You Be There' and 'Keep The Faith' Track I would feel really relaxed and just doze off. Also I've been saying that I'm an MJ Fanatic but to tell you the truth Thriller's not even on my top 5 album list.haha Just liked the album last night, was playing it the whole day.

To curious cats here's my top 5 MJ album:
1. Dangerous
2. Invincible
3. Blood On The Dance Floor
4. HIStory
5. Off The Wall

1-2-3 sometimes Invincible's #1..sometimes BOTDF's #1 lol
in case your wondering why Invincible's on my list because I'm an Invincible era fan and Yes, I completely disagree on what most critics are saying about Invincible, It's a 16track and 78minutes long album--Yes it's long but it's just shows that MJ's going all out, at the first place I wouldn't buy an album If you'll just give me 9/10 tracks tops. See that's why there's no record sales anymore artists just tend to make 10tracks, I'd rather download them, buying an album is expensive so when I'm buying it has to be worth every penny and not only that, I sacrificed my allowance just to buy a CD so yes 10 tracks is not enough! -- sharing my experience when I was 11, twas the year 2001.

now ya'll wondering why there's piracy.

Why We’ll Miss Michael

Posted Tue Jun 30, 2009 4:49pm PDT by David Marchese in The Spin Blog

Last Sunday morning on Meet the Press, host David Gregory asked Presidential advisor David Axelrod whether or not Obama planned to make any public statement about Michael Jackson's death. Axelrod explained that the President had reached out to the Jackson family privately. What current pop star's death will merit discussion about an Oval Office response? Probably not Lady Gaga's.

There is much that will be missed about Michael Jackson, but the Axelrod/Gregory exchange made me think about something specific underlying our collective grief: MJ was the last pop star we will all share. He was the last one to garner so much genre-, race, and class-transcending popularity that it feels appropriate for his death to register as a tragedy of Presidential importance. We have lost a common bond.

Changes in the music industry will ensure that bond stays broken. Due to increased genre fragmentation, the proliferation of illegal downloading, and the ongoing extinction of brick-and-mortar record stores, music simply doesn't sell like it did during Jackson's '80s heyday. For instance, last year's biggest selling album was Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III, which moved 2.88 million copies in the U.S. Josh Groban's Noel was 2007's top seller. It sold 3.7 million. By comparison, 1982's Thriller sold 28 million copies. Five years later Bad sold eight million. 1991's Dangerous, at seven million, was considered a mild sales disappointment.

But it wasn't business that made Jackson a cross-cultural icon--it was, of course, his music. At their best (think of "Billie Jean" or "Bad"), the songs were as catchy as the flu and funkier than a Bonnaroo port-a-potty. Their playful melodies made them approachable enough for the parents while their innovative production and stealthily paranoid sentiments made them radical enough for the kids. If you didn't like Michael Jackson, the problem wasn't with him.

Now, though, with the music world splintered into different radio formats, and blogs and websites making it easier for people to burrow into the hermetic hole of stuff they already enjoy, it's hard to imagine anyone again approaching Jacksonian levels of appeal. The conditions just aren't there.

I think that's unfortunate. Having a pop star we can all watch and talk about and listen to makes music feel more vital. Michael Jackson was living proof that music meant something--to me, to you, to everyone. That proof is gone now. And now we are all living a little further apart from one another.

Music| Heavy Metal Stripped and Orchestrating

At school killing time and not working on my assignment which is due today...man I gotta get things straight...poop

Just finished my endless research paper and hopefully I gave justice to John Carpenter, after choosing him as my topic I not only like this guy but totally admiring him now. anyways not the point of my post (just worth mentioning) as I've said thanks to Twisted Sister's new song '30' I'm back to heavy metal genre.

All of a sudden, out of frustration form my endless paper, I need some music to help me unwind and shit, then my purty lil' mind started playing Scorpion's Hurricane. searched it on YouTube and clicked the 1st vid and boom am full blown reliving my 80's Heavy Metal session.

Scorpions| Hurricane
Heavy Metal + Orchestra = MUSIC GENIUS!


Thus, triggered my 'Metal' bone...what??
Look what I found....Heavy Metal Stripped....down to acoustics haha

Def Leppard| Pour Some Sugar on Me


Def Leppard| Hysteria

Music| Heavy Metal *Twisted*

I posted before that was on hiatus mode in rock music, few days after I was lured by the rocks of god, all in the glory of Twisted Sister! I've always loved the 80's even if I was born on 91' still I long for the days of Hairspray-Big-Hair type of fashion. I think it's pretty cool and wild at the same time. It's really cool I would give up anything just to relive the 80's. enough of that.

I love Heavy Metal! Glam Metal or Hair Metal whatever you wanna' call it damn Heavy Metal is music, it's so upbeat, head bangin' rebellin' style and no one can do it better than Twisted mother-fucking Sister! They're re-releasing they're 'Stay Hungry' Album with new a song '30' which in my opinion, is so Twisted Sister,...guitar riffs, ...Dee Snider,Man DEE SNIDER! The lyrics educates the new generation audience what's Heavy Metal's all about and at the same time, talks about how Twisted Sister can still kick it.!

I've just heard the song and it's an instant classic for me I just got hooked listened to it like 5times now and said I just gotta' post this. *off to listen again*

Info:
Stay Hungry will be out on June 30, 2009
Check out the the new single '30' here.

Yes ROCK I will never Turn my back again! lolz

*** HEAVY METAL LIVES! ***

Music| The Fray

Saw their 'Never say Never' MV on MTV and got hooked immediately, then downloaded their self entitled album- giving this band a chance. I guess a second chance is not needed for I'm following this band already. Not yet a fan but will see if they can convert me,if they do they'll be the first band to lure me into alternative rock genre. haha

Listen to...
Never say Never
You Found Me
We Build then We Break - nice neat ;)
