Alicia Keys + Element of Freedom

I dont care if you are still caught up on 'As I Am'', I sincerely believe that this is one of her best albums to date. Not only is is experimental but I feel as if it invisibly continues to capture the soul of New York, no matter how 'Welcome to Jamrock' the album cover is. I mean...just bumping to this while walking down 116th and Broadway. Yes. Magic.

also... enlighten your ears to "Dreaming", something should have made the cut on this album but sadly didnt.

Going Out In Style: Wayne's No Ceilings

Trust I'm about to post more but until then...here is something to keep you occupied so you don't think I did something stupid like died. So with that being said, being the negro that I am I found all my fellow negroes a real treat. YESS!! WAYNE's MIXTAPE. I know you love me. =] I'd like to think that this is a great way to go to jail. Hopefully Cupcake and Big Ben don't get ahold of his fresh ass in the shower. Well, I mean if that happens I guess we'll both be screaming "Weezy F Baby, please save the baby!"



Go conquer Wayne...you already fully occupy my iTunes.

Fresh Select: The Blueprint 3

Alright, you got it! I got like 400 posts on Facebook about how good Jay-Z's cd was. Though I downloaded it 10 days before its actual due date, I didn't have a chance to really digest the songs, their lyrics, etc. However, inspired by my news feed I am impressed with Jay-Z. Seriously. It is a huge step up from American Gangster, atleast that is what critics around the world witnessing the birth of this album claim it to be. I think that while American Gangster was good, be honest...you don't remember one song and though you still rock to "Say Hello"...that shit gets skipped on your iTunes shuffle. The only reason I had an doubt in the marketing of Blueprint 3 was 1) I did not like any of the released singles such as DOA, and since Im beginning to hate Drake...'Off That' was 'off' my music library, and I couldn't take Rihanna crying on 'Run This Town'. 2) I was skeptical about whether he was trying to be on his 'I am a veteran to this HipHop so let me stick with hardcore gangster shit or if he was trying to be 'I am so different bitches so half of my album is alternative so suck it up'. LUCKILY, his 15 something odes to his hustle, business state of mind, and New York City for blessing him with the gift of making music as well as hit music has truly made this album as 'Real As it Gets' and worthy of praise and a blog on MicaSaysss. Seriously, anyone who reads this needs to take my word: Grace your iTunes with this album.

download and listen...or else. Hey Mr. Carter...you tha shit!

OH!? Don't have it?...get it here. BTW, your really late in the game.

Jazmine Sullivan/Fabric Of My Life

UHH. Is this like product placement for Cotton? Seriously Jazmine, next time your inspired by an underwear commercial don't straight swagger jack the jingle. Whatever, it's cute but I swear gurrlll if they sue you for copy right infringment, don't say we didn't tell you. Aight b, now download!

Cassie/I Need Love

She is tripping hard. Seriously, does she really expect to get love looking like that. I don't understand this cry for help. She was the one who wanted to go halfway bald. BTW, this song is cute & when I say cute in Cassie Song Language, it is bearable. Although, I will admit I miss the ode to giving head and the 5000 remixes to Must Be Love. I think she should come up with some new material. All of her songs seem to cry about being the side chick and in this case I guess it's hard out there for a hoe. Oh well, just download.

Jay-z(feat. Kanye & RIhanna)/Run This Town

Maybe I'm late with this, but if you haven't already checked this song out...you should. It's a new single off of The Blueprint 2000. Haha. I guess if you didn't like Death of Autotune, this is an apology. It's a good track...worth the download. Duhh, that's why it's on my blog. P.S. right around the 4:05 mark just turn it off unless you want to hear Rihanna sounding like a dying fish (whatever that sounds like).

JIZZ!...Loso's Way

This is too much for one day. First off, my favorite movie "Little Black Book" comes on, followed by Real Housewives of Atlanta, then I find Loso's Way online...for free...with album art! Jizz-worthy. I was never the biggest Fabolous fan but he really outdid himself on this album. Also...home boy is beautiful. && since I love you all SO MUCH, I'm putting the link on deck so you can jizz to specific tracks like "When The Money Goes", 'Salute', and 'Makin' Love'. Snaps for Loso (in case you ain't know so).


You know you love me.

Enlighten Your Ears...Miguel Jontel

I'm sorry but this dude looks gay. Fortunately, his songs are not. Either way, I want you to experience the new Mexican Ne-Yo for yourself. Explore down below. I promise you will not be dissapointed.

Heres the mixtape entitled 'Mischeif'...

Usher X Pharrell/ Certified

Aw shit, Usher must be feeling fresh after his separation/divorce from Tameka. He's back into action with this new single which has the typical yet smooth Star Trak beat. Kudos to Pharrell, Usher's trying to give his 300%...good for him. I mean, I don't think this will blow up but it's still worth the download.

Yay Usher.

Why I Don't Like Drake

I know right about now, Jimmy..I'm sorry Drake is the only canadian we actually care about, but like everything...I have a small bone to pick with him. While I love your music Drake, please listen to the advice I'm about to give.

1) When you come out with a mixtape...keep the new material, trash the old. I have about 4 of your mixtapes where songs like 'Uptown, 'Unstoppable', and just about any remix you've done in your rap career appear multiple times--we get the point. It's annoying to have 'Invented Sex' 3 times in my iTunes library.
2) STOP TALKING ABOUT YOUR EX! Are you over her? Do you want to get back with her? You talk about this girl in every song and it's killing me. So note to Drake, 'get over it'.
3) A dear friend told me that their sister attended one of your concerts in June. While that is amazing, they also told me that you were 3-4 hours late. My friend, you are not famous. You are not even a smidgen close to that status of being 'fashionably' late to your gigs. Therefore, 3 words: be on time.
4) It is the middle of July, stop wearing your jacket, sweater, or outerwear garment. I watched a performance of you on MTV Hits, and it was spring break...and you walked out wearing a winter coat. Not cool Drizzy.

I thought I had more complaints but I guess you'll have to stay tuned. BTW, your reputation is completely trashed after the BET awards because whether you want to believe it or not, you're kindaaa still a nobody, so if that was your debut to the world, a do-over in order.

But, with all that being said...your music still graces my speakers. So while there are like 1000 wrongs with you, in essence your music is what counts, and so far...so good.

Tommy Stars & Drake/Slow Down

One word: download.

Enlighten your ears...Fabolous

Loso in case you ain't know so. Honestly, this guy should just stick to remixes. But if you're that fan...here are two new songs featuring the beautiful Keri Hilson and the suave Ryan Leslie.

LMFAO!

Obam-izzy is seen in Italy @ the G8 Summit. Is he checking out this 16 year old junior delegate? You decide. But deep down you know he's like Let Me See The Booty!

Here's the song by the way.

Black Eyed Peas/Imma Be

I think the world is all boom boom powed out. But I swear this song is hot. It's going to definitely be in Hot 97's hearts forever. It has a great dance beat with the touch of hood-- Just the way we like it. However towards the 2:30 mark it goes back that annoying ass Will.I.Am beat but it balances with some organ flats.

It's okay...I'm sick of Fergie too. =]

Enlighten your ears...Maxwell

I didn't know whether to call this Jizz, Sex, or Pure Amazingness. I'm truly elated to have purchased...that's right purchased the new Maxwell CD "BLACKsummer's Night". What a beautiful titles for such a beautiful piece of 10-track artwork. Snaps for Maxwell. Standout tracks include 'Stop The World', Kiss FM's over played 'Pretty Wings', and 'Bad Habit'. But I would recommend searching the album on your library and putting that bad boy on shuffle and if you really want to go in, mix it up with some Urban Hang Suit, Musiq or Esperanza Spaulding. If this doesn't convince you...it's recession friendly, selling for $9.99 on iTunes. Trust this nigga will have you singing till your pretty wings can't fly anymore.

Don't worry...I didn't leave you out in the 'Cold'.

Chelley/Took the Night

I wouldn't exactly call this enlightening, but I found the B-more club song knock-off in a friend's iPod. I really like it though. Really fucking cute. "Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate. I don't care what bitches say, I don't even look their way". Don't lie, this will be your anthem in like 2 days.

Mr. Hudson X Kanye West/ Anyone But Him

OMG, I really hope this duo isn't another Lupe Fiasco and Matthew Santos. But shit atleast Santos can sing his little heart out. Ugh, I figured anyone who likes Kanye will like this. It's aiigghhtt. Trust. I also decided to give you a little treat after you download the first one. If you know Mica, you know she will force herself to love anything Kid Cudi. Therefore, I found Mr. Hudson X Kid Cudi 'Everything Broken'...cool shitttt. Check 'em out loves.

It's the Wiz. Gotta love him. I downloaded his mixtape 'Flight School'. While it's not a very catchy title, the school house sound influenced by smooth 808's gives off a great sound from my Mac speakers. I like it...as should you. Explore below.
