Man, what would 2Pac be thinking if he were around today to see what hip hop has turned into? Would he have allowed this to happen if he was still here, or would he have joined in and used gimmicks like auto-tune himself? Although we will never know the answer, we do...

I’m really not sure what to make of this song after one listen. On the one hand, is it supposed to be a cover of the original song “Can’t Turn Me Away” by Sylvia Striplin? On the other hand, she added in the “Get Money” part from...

This is my pick of the non-singles as my favorite song from Monica’s new album “Still Standing.” Heck, if you had told me this song was made in the mid-90s, I would believe you! It has that vintage sound, which Monica was going for on the album, and...

Timbaland produced both of the currently unreleased songs “Believer” and “Who’s the Loser Now” for Brandy. They are also from the 2008 “Human” album sessions as leftovers. I really like Brandy and Timbaland working together;...

This was probably already my favorite song on Brandy’s 2008 “Human” album, but now the song just got even better. I can’t confirm when this duet with Natasha Bedingfield was recorded, but it would have been nice to hear this version appear on...

After many delays, Toni Braxton’s sixth studio album “Pulse” will be released May 4th. Although many of her songs have leaked over the past few months, she has confirmed that some of those will also appear on the album. Additionally, videos for...
