Who's Got Next - Greg D

He calls himself Greg. D and he's got his mind on taking his southern boy raps to the world. Currently standing at #1 on the charts in Killeen TX. Here's what some people think of Greg D. His sound is pure southern rap. His fan base, well it's mostly girls, but come on he looks like someone girls would go crazy over. 

But don't let the pretty boy looks fool you. His rhymes over his hard beating tracks will make you love his style. They're playful and have a club feel to them. You almost instantly find yourself nodding to the beat. But don't just take my word for it, hear what others have said.... 
"Im sure everyone will "Become a fan" of your music, its just fyeeee...."
"This makes me wanna turn it up...."
"This &#@$ is HAWT"
But how about you decide for yourself.....



Greg D. is currently working on his new mixtape aptly titled "Become A Fan"
Tell Me what you think ..... I think I could actually ....BECOME A FAN!

TGIFunky - The 90's Funky Club Jams

I don't know why I started thinking about 90's Club Jams so much lately but they've been on my mind...A LOT! Maybe it's because many of those songs had a quality that made us love them. It wasn't that we couldn't find better songs, we just loved that bounce, that rhythm, that groove! And speaking of groove...who remembers



Ahh the Club Hits of the 90's! I couldn't quite tell you how old I was when most of these songs were popular but I do recall listening to my walkman. My current extraordinary dance skills aside,  I bounced and pranced around my bedroom. They didn't say much lyrically but they were head bopping rhythms that if you played them loud enough made you think the lights were off, the strobe was on and the deejay was pumping.


Ok I don't have the space for all the videos but I can list them. And sure as you're reading this list, it screams "Where are they now?", but come on you loved them as much as I still love them.

I'm Too Sexy - Right Said Fred
Me, Myself and I - De La Soul
Back to Life - Soul II Soul
Bust a Move - Young MC
Wild Thang - Tone Loc
Groove Me - Guy
All That She Want - Ace of Base
Short Dick Man - 20 Fingers
Supermodel (You Better Work)  - RuPaul
I Like to Move It - Reel to Reel

So today's Funky Friday salute goes to 90's Funky club jams. I think I'll make my own compilation Cd

When Your Past Won't Let You Go


Sometimes the past comes back to haunt you, you just gotta deal with those skeletons in your closet. ...
Clifford T.I. Harris (T.I.P)



Truer words have never been spoken and as I read the "from the cell" updates from one of my favorite rappers, I wonder if T.I.P will every get a break. Even though from that statement alone it seems as if he's willing to just roll with the punches.

But even with those words, I have to wonder when enough will be enough for Master Clifford.....coming off of a successful opening of the hit movie "Takers" he found himself back in the clutches of the law. When I heard I shook my head. I didn't want him to have to face those bars again, simply because T.I. does have something to offer the rap world. All he needs to do is stay out of the clinker long enough to enjoy the fruits of his labor.

I listened to people state..."Why would he do that?" "He had to know they were watching him?" "That was dumb". But what it all boils down to is he made a mistake and now we await the return of the King. So until his release....I replay his words, whether printed or audio...

NEW YEAR - NEW MUSIC

2011 is turning out to be a promising year musically.

Here's what we have to look forward to albumwise

Kanye West & Jay-Z – Watch The Throne
Lady Gaga – Born This Way
Dr. Dre - Detox


Justin Timberlake - *Don't know what he's gonna call it, but expect some dance tunes ;-)
Coldplay - *Still Untitled

Here are some folks that I hope would give us an album in 2011





I don't know about you, but I think DeAngelo needs to give us one more spin..... R&B, Neo-Soul, doggonit MUSIC has missed him....Come On DeAngelo...we're waiting!
 
 

Okay Ms Lauryn, your self imposed musical exile needs to end, like YESTERDAY. We need more thought provoking lyrics and people that can rhyme things like, "tell me who I have to be, to gain some reciprocity". Well thought out, well constructed lyricism....we miss it!
 
 

For personal reasons, I'ma need Carl Thomas to finish his long overdue album. BTW follow Sir Carl on twitter Carl Thomas tell him I sent ya!
 
So have a musical 2011!!
I SUPPORT MUSIC!

You know how we do...It's all about the music!
