Great morning to you! I got up a tad late after enjoying the 2011 BET awards. I think the show went fairly well. I see the folks at BET gave Chris Breezy the “your cool pass”, he was all over the stage ..lol

Here are some of my favorite performances:
Patti Labelle
I’ve seen Patti Labelle in concert several times..she is a legend indeed!

Chris Brown

Oh my and “The Real Husbands” segments were hilarious…ha ha I love Kevin Hart..

Rofl he had a “Mariah” tattoo on his back..too funny…

Happy Tuesday! How was your holiday week? I had a fun time, and I did not over eat yaay …

I had time to really listen to Nicki Minaj’s 1st official release “Pink Friday”. Again Young Money has shocked me. Like Drake, I didn’t expect so much singing from such a witty emcee. Smart move by Lil Wayne signing them. Both Drake and Nicki can sing. I am not mad with the cd at all. It’s been on repeat in the ride since I got it. It’s different, and at times she reminds me somewhat of Busta Ryhmes, when using all the crazy flows.

Preview And Purchase The Album From Amazon

I did notice that Pink Friday incorporates a lot of pop type melodies through out. Heavy use of synths on almost every song. Some of you may wonder how to create the synth sounds heard in tracks like “Moment 4 Life ft Drake”. The sound I’m referring to comes in around 7 secs:
Nicki Minaj Moment 4 Life

Well if you have Reason it can be achieved with the Malstrom or Subtractor. There are even a few free vst instruments that will help you come close like the Ugo Audio Rez2 or Superwave8. For the hardware lovers, the Alesis micron has almost the exact sound used in “Moment 4 Life”.

This is surely a theme song for me, I love uplifting songs that make me feel inspired to keep grinding with the music. I am also loving “Fly” featuring Rhianna. Did Rhi Rhi blaze that hook or what?… Check out some live footage from last Thursdays Thanksgiving show:

Good Morning All! I had so much fun watching the BET 2010 Awards last night. My twitter timeline was hilarious the whole time lol.

I think this was one of the best years for the award show. They had a nice mix of hiphop, r&b, and even some gospel. I wanted to share some of my favorite performances:

P DIDDY DOES IT AGAIN! Dirty Money last night? Woo Wee I absolutely loved this segment. I already liked the song from when they performed it on American Idol…but today I had to go find the mp3!! Mr. Combs really knows how to entertain..
Dirty Money- Hello Goodmorning

The big talk of the night was Chris “Breezy’s” Micheal Jackson Tribute…. WOW!! He did an excellent job. He got so filled up at the end, that he could not even sing ” Man In The Mirror”. I am one who thinks, and feels deeply, so I can see how he got emotional. I know a lot of my friends are saying ” that was for promotion”..but I think his life issues came to a mental peak last night. If it was to get his career back in motion? It probably worked better than who ever conjured up the inappropriate idea expected..

Chris Brown MJ Tribute

Drake is a cool guy from all I’ve heard and seen of him. His performance last night was as I anticipated, flawless. He’s a smart artist. He seems as if he plans his moves wisely. So far they’ve worked like a charm

Drake ft Jeezy (Dake)

BET pulled a fast one throwing in a very nice performance from El Debarge. If I begin to explain how much The Debarge’s music has influenced my life, that’d be another whole post lol…. I will add that El Debarge was one of the first artist I “tried” to sample when I started producing…
El Debarge Medley

All the clips were presented by www.mrworldpremiere.net
He has almost all of them I think..check em out if you missed the show..

Good Morning and Happy Friday! It’s rainy and cold here brrrr! I will be working on some hard core NY bangers this morning.

After doing tons of dirty south beats over the last few days, I like to get my mind in a certain hip hop state before I turn on the equipment.

I may watch a few videos, or listen to Mobb Deep, Jay Z, Nas and rappers from the Eastcoast. Sometimes I just hit up youtube for a few freestyles….decided to share some with you..enjoy!
