30916, HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA - Friday May 15, 2009 Eminem performs hit singles from his latest up coming album 'Relapse' on the Jimmy Kimmel Show.

I got a copy of the upcoming Recovery album by Eminem. I am definitely impressed. Eminem comes out firing witty metaphors from the beginning on the opening track Cold Wind Blows, with lines like “Don’t compare me to those other bums over there. It’s like apples to oranges, peaches to plumbs, Yeah I’m bananas, pussy cut off the grapes and grow a pear.” Then in the track Talkin’ to Myself Em takes time to exercise some demons and admits that he was ready to make diss songs aimed at Lil’ Wayne and Kanye West because he was jealous that “they were selling and he wasn’t.”

The title Recovery is fitting for this album. Not only is it a play on the drug struggles of Eminem, it also is a recovery for the music Eminem makes. It is on a level so far above his last two efforts.

Eminem comes with a ton of energy in Cinderella Man and Almost Famous. If I had to pick the next single, I would go with W.T.P. which stands for White Trash Party. It is funny and witty and typical Em but not as poppy as some of his past singles. This album actually does not have the “pop” single which he always has had on his albums.

Recovery is filled with songs in which Em gets personal with the punch line songs alternating between them. Some of the best lines come from Won’t Back Down Ft. Pink. Eminem most definitely brings the complicated word play and great rhyming structure which people had loved from before. He switches styles frequently on the album and shows his repertoire of vocabulary and creativeness.

With guest spots from Lil’ Wayne (No Love), Rihanna (Love the Way You Lie), and Pink and production from more than just Dr. Dre, Eminem brought some diversity to the album which was missing in Relapse. I’m not much into rating albums because there are too many things which would make up a good one, but this album would rank pretty high based on his talent and how he sees things in the world that go unnoticed and he puts them into rhymes. Plus I appreciate how personal he is in songs about Kim, slain rap-mate Proof (You’re Never Over) and his life in Music (25 to Life)

When June 22nd, 2010 comes around, I suggest that you go and buy Recovery first thing in the morning and I bet that you will be in love with it by the afternoon.

Another Year has passed, another Decade is over.

Let’s take a minute to reflect shall we?

In the midst of a recession, entertainment continues to be big business. Making us laugh, cry, and taking our minds off of these trying times, music and movies remain a key staple in our lives. 2009 was nothing short of eventful in the music business. The Black Eyed Peas broke billboard records, T.I. took a vacation, and the King of Pop finally fulfilled his legacy, passing away after 50 incredible years on this earth (most of which were spent entertaining us). Now we must wonder what to expect in 2010.

With projects by Sade, Outkast and Drake among many others all slated to be released, this year is sure to be another exciting one and us music lovers have a lot to look forward to. Will Shania Twain return and will she be able to enjoy the same kind of success that she’s had in the past? Will Dr. Dre finally release his long awaited Detox album, and will Amy Winehouse stay sober long enough to complete her new album? One can only guess for now.

So as we sit and wonder what Lady Gaga will wear next, or what award show Kanye West will sabotage next, let us all be thankful that we at least have something to talk about while we wait in the unemployment line. What a wonderful world!

DJ Khaled ft Jay-Z & Kanye West

GO HARD – ReMix

“We the Best!” What remix isn’t hot with Jay-Z on it? Jay goes hard as always and Kanye shows us that 808′s and Heartbreak isn’t the only thing on his mind as he goes hard as well. And, T-Pain tops it off with his auto tuned (of course) chorus. Tell us what you think about this banger.

StreetWear -

Hip Hop and fashion make the perfect marriage… Remember how LL wore Kango’s, or how Run DMC rocked Adidas, remember when B.I.G. made Coogi, and when Kanye West became the “Louie Vuitton Don”?

Now it’s our turn; FrontStreet Records recording artist OSEEOLA is StreetWear, period!

From the “Nobody Fronted Us” – s1 compilation – StreetWear, an ode to a culture inspired by a retro 80′s look, hipsters, and sneakers. This record is exactly what the culture has been missing, its anthem!

StreetWear is the “Star Spangled Banner” of the young, fly, and flashy.

The track has a potent bounce and is yet still soulful. Produced by The Skoutz Productions, Oseeola’s swagger and wordplay on the record is serious business this is the get fresh anthem!
