.:Cool it now:. Random pop tidbits courtesy of randome iPod albums playing and the news from last night/this morning. --New Edition and 112 You have to hand it to them for trying to stay in the game. I think a lot of people were trying to clown on New Edition for attempting to make yet another post puberty album, but seriously, good for them! Imagine the longevity of their careers. Who can say that they literally grew up with New Edition. New Edition has their long time fans, and new fans who get jiggy to Hot 2nite. Props to the fellas for trying. And 112 is the 90s version of New Edition (and I've talked about this before how people were saying that New Edition was the new 112 because of the badboy thing, but we know how it really goes down right?) I was at Tree's house (haha can I start linking your site?) and we were watching the video for You already know and it was weird, they don't dance as much as they used to (or maybe because it's a slow song) but they look really old, yet youthful at the same time. I think one of the guys has a receding hairline. Despite all that, the slogan in my heart still stays the same. 112 forever! --Tom Cruise on 106 & Park So Tom Cruise was on 106 & Park yesterday, and it was kind of akward for him (imagine my suprise when I found it it was his second appearence on the show) Free and AJ asked him, "So who's your favorite rapper?" and he replied with a "Jay-Z and Will Smith... yea I love Will Smith." WHOA! Sorry Tom, street cred denied. No really, street cred denied!!! I mean as much as I love the OG Mr. Smith... there's no way you can compare Jigga Mann and Will Smith. It's... not even on the same playing field... Sheesh! --Case Where the hell is Case? I love that guy! I love his voice, very Stevie like, but a little more rough (in a good way) I just got Personal Conversation and Open Letter uploaded on to my iPod finally (don't be alarmed! I own both of these albums). If anyone reading this knows where Case is, tell him that he needs to put another album out. Him, Donell Jones, Ginuwine... those three. They need new albums. True R&B crooners, seriously. I think we need to get over all that crunk and B stuff. As much as I like getting crunked in the club, I miss hearing a really good R&B song without a Yeah and a A-Town clap (or stomp or whatever it's called) --My unhealthy obession with Scream Tour artist Bow Wow, dude I love him (except in the Let Me Hold You video... what was he thinking with his hair?) I love two tracks from his album already and I can't wait to hear the rest of the album. Street Cred Denied for me? Haha... never! His music is great because it borders on Nelly type singin' but he's still rappin' more then Nelly. And back during my prepubesent days... Immature and Marques Houston I really like im, I love All Because of You good ol' R&B. Haha... and don't get me started on Omarion. WOW! Yea okay... I better stop. more later (I've wasted many minutes on this post...)
