Tha Feedback Presents....From Kampala To K-Town, A Mix By J. Space (93)
(Right click, “Save As…”)

You know here at Tha Feedback, I’m doing my best to expose ya’ll to new music and a different audio experience from the regular one you may have on a daily basis, right? If you didn’t cop our last blend “The Feedback 2010 Blend Mix” done by nOvaSlim, you are missing out. Almost 500 people have downloaded a copy of it for themselves and it’s not too late to get it.

Well, my friend J. Space recently took a trip to Africa and experienced a bunch of new rhythms and rhymes in the form of African hip-hop, dancehall & more. Peep his experience and cop the mix above NOW! You will NOT be disappointed, trust me. Open your ears and imaginations and GET INTO THIS! It’s free. What are you waiting for?!

Upon returning from Uganda in January, J. Space approached Tha Feedback about sharing some of the music he gathered while he was there. This mix is the result. A collection of dancehall, progressive rock, and rhythms unique to the continent, this hour-long blend will take you from South Africa to Burkina Faso, Nigeria to Uganda, Kenya to Senegal, and everywhere in between. Along the way hopefully you’ll discover what J. Space did on his way “From Kampala to K-town”…that no matter where you go in the world, good music transcends all.

B.o.B.’s “Nothing On You” Visuals Are Great!

Written by The IPS in Videos on Mar 9, 10
Man I LOVE this song. It’s just like, a new-age LL Cool J pop/hip-hop/crossover smash. This joint is poignant, respectful and really decent. The video reflects the same qualities, and B.o.B. AKA Bobby Ray takes his rhymes and brings an honesty to the track that Bruno Mars’ voice just makes even that much more sincere. It’s an organic jam that just really sticks with you after you hear it a time or two.

The video, directed by Ethan Lader, bucks the trend of a hip-hop video even and is more of a stylized pop feel. The torn-paper theme, along with the interchanging faces is a really dope idea. We aren’t super green-screened to death either.

I basically really love this song, and the video keeps that trend going. Excellent. “Thumbs up, Ebert and Roper” like Drake say. As a matter of fact, I’m feeling B.o.B. way more than Drake, but that’s just me.

What ya’ll think?

Album Covers: Toni Braxton’s Pulse

Written by The IPS in Blogs on Mar 9, 10
Toni Braxton’s Pulse is set to hit stores May 4th here in the States. Out of all the songs that have dropped “Make My Heart” is my favorite so far. “Hands Tied” is a nice joint, but it’s not nearly as dynamic as “Make My Heart”.

She looks like a diva though, I’m loving this.

I hope Toni’s album is as good as she is looking these days, cause um err ah, yes ma’am, she could get it! Ain’t she getting a divorce? Let me stop plotting, Toni don’t want me…

Teairra Mari Needs A Sponsor (And A Radio Hit); Is This It?

Written by The IPS in Videos on Mar 9, 10
Teairra Mari is back and while I think Ms. Thomas is a fine beautiful woman, she stay trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator and I don’t think it’s going to work. Soulja Boy though? She should have called Nicki Minaj — this has her ALL over it. Teairra even does a little bit of Nicki’s moves and expressions at around the 0:58 second mark.

Teairra needs to find a lane that she can excel at and not a lane where she can cruise safely in. She looks great, and the video looks great (and it features a cameo from Vanessa Simmons randomly), but it’s kind of just there. Her dance moves were aiight. This video reminds me of a Christina Milian video — girl looks great but other than that, you’re left feeling like “what now?!”

The beat is kinda hot though, I’d rock the instrumental. I need her to go into the booth and record a hot remix for this joint — it might actually work, somewhere…

Raheem DeVaughn’s Performance Is “Bulletproof”

Written by The IPS in Blogs on Mar 9, 10
Raheem DeVaughn’s talent cannot be denied, and many sites and blogs are calling his latest album The Love & War Masterpeace a classic, or if not that, a pretty great album. My jury is still out — I’ve been sitting with it so that I can write a comprehensive review.

In any case, dude’s an excellent live performer. “Bulletproof” isn’t my favorite song of his as of late, but he still sounds good singing it. Compare this performance to, say, Jaheim’s performance on Mo’Nique’s show a couple of weeks ago — much more interesting and a lot better sounding LOL.

Raheem’s latest album is in stores now — have you bought it? Share your thoughts on it if you have.

Usher – “OMG” [Listen + Download]

I have officially stopped caring about Usher and his music from here on out. This is his official single to be serviced to international markets apparently, and the song is produced by and features will.i.am.

This is just…not good. This song is going to clear dancefloors and make people switch radio dials all over the world. I hope Usher didn’t cash all his “Confessions” checks and/or piss them away in alimony…seriously. We expect more from Usher, and this ain’t it!

He can keep this, “Papers” and all the other songs that have leaked as far as I am concerned.

Am I alone? LOL that’s fine if I am, truly. I’ll be saving my $10 for gas, groceries and gum.

T.I. – “I’m Back” [Listen + Download]

Yes, every black blog on the planet is posting this. Sorry.

T.I. has a few nice lines, but overall I kind of feel like this is an unreleased joint from a couple of years ago or something. He ain’t been gone that long, he has to realize that times have changed LOL. I hope his new music sounds a bit more progressive than this.

It’s his comeback song so I will give him a pass, but I can’t wait to hear the REAL comeback joint, you know what I mean?

T.I. gets released from his Halfway House on March 26th. Lil’ Wayne went into jail today, and T.I. puts out new music.

J*DaVeY Tells Us To Put Down The Computer & Blackberry And Let’s “Get Together”

Written by The IPS in Videos on Mar 8, 10
I’m a huge J*DaVeY fan and I try and spread the Gospel as often as possible. Their latest mixtape, Boudoir Synema: The Great Mistapes is a free download that you DON’T want to not have in your collection. I promise you it’s worth the HD space it’ll take up. The music is layered, funky, soulful and intense with great pop sensibilites. Miss Jack’s voice is reminiscent of an Erykah Badu, but she has great vocals.

In the latest video for their song on the mixtape “Get Together”, what I gathered from the video is that we as a society are so insulated from each other, despite the fact that it is easier than ever to reach out and touch someone via the Internet or the other means. We’ve forgotten the energy and camaraderie that is made when you are actually in a room with someone.

Some all-knowing person or presence draws everyone out of their individual cocoons, apartments and other habitats and encourages them to all come together behind a door guarded by a man in a mask. Now, I’m not sure what’s going on after the go THROUGH that door, but I appreciate the sentiment. Let’s all “get together” and support great music!

Jagged Edge’s New Single Is Not On The “Tip Of My Tongue”, That’s For Sure…

Written by The IPS in Videos on Mar 8, 10
Jagged Edge are trying to make their way back into the scene with a new album The Remedy soon to come. However, this “Tip Of My Tongue” single is just really wack, formulaic and not interesting. I’m glad to see they show a video that matches the song O_o.

And what’s with all the Nuvo!? I mean, there were 50-11 Nuvo shots! Did they pay for this video? Or did Nuvo? Cause Nuvo had the starring role and that would explain the low-budget feel that they had going on. Trina looks good but her rap was lazy and unimaginative, and Gucci’s verse felt thrown on there as a favor and to hopefully drive radio play.

The vocals are still there, but we need more meatier material JE. And ya’ll need more people with this here single. Good day!

“Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart” Is Not Bad Per Se…

Written by The IPS in Blogs on Mar 8, 10
It’s just that Alicia makes it dreadful! And, to make it even more excruciating, she slows the tempo DOWN. We are only saved by the respite we find in the voices of the background singers. YA’LL BETTA SING.

Oprah featured Alicia in a recent episode and there was also chatter and a preview of the video for “Put It In A Love Song”. I got to say, I’m looking forward to the VISUALS of that video, not so much the audio. LOL.

I wanted to post this for that SLOW tempo though, what made her decide that was a good idea?!
