A place to come and relish in the goodness of music! Taking you back in the day to the current hits of the day. When it's all said and done music is our remedy and instant cure!
I just had a thought on this Sunday and my thought was where is R&B? I know we have so-called 'R&B' out there but I want to know where is the real deal? Lucy Pearl albeit the original group only put one album out (thanks Dawn Robinson!) but it was one classic album. A strong vibe of soul that you can listen to from start to finish. So here is one of favs from that album. I hope you enjoy on this beautiful Sunday afternoon.
That dude FunkMaster Flex is back with a banger from his upcoming mixtape "Who You Mad At? Me Or Yourself?" So what do Bridget and Kendrick do on the track? They kill it! Dope cut and I want to know what you think. Tell me below or on Twitter @Stretch_66
Never before in my mind would I would I say that out of all the girls that have rolled in and out of Destiny's Child that Kelly Rowland would be my fave! In their early inception I was always an LaToya Luckett fan and still am but Kelly Rowland has got my attention at full salute! Not only is she on the radio on just about every song she has finally found herself a hit! Yes, we all know bitches need to "Bow Down" to King Bey but not Kelly! She has her own throne and army to lead and this chick has me in her camp as the Court Jester or loyal servant! Shit, I will do whatever she wants me to do at this point in time. I love her track "Kisses Down Low" and whenever I play it on the air I just sit back close my eyes and dream! In case you have been under a rock for sometime and haven't heard the song peep the visuals below! Kelly's body is beyond dope! This is one chocolate morsel I would love to have in my cookie! Sugar-free or not! :)
So I was just cruising through one of my favorite sites www.soulbounce.com and I can across this dope song by Kelly Jones. I have been going hard in the music business for over 16 years now and I have seen a lot come and go. This song really sums up how the music business has been in transition over the years. Give this song a listen and let me know what you think.
It's a "Dope Music Saturday" that's right hitting you off with a few joints that you may not have heard in a minute! Before I get into that I have to take a moment to say RIP to the best rapper of all times! The ill-est MC to spit a hot 16 of course I'm talking about The NOTORIOUS B.I.G. who was tragically killed today 16 years ago! We will always love Big Poppa! So get into this dope music for you on this Saturday. Enjoy and stay up!
Dope Music for a Saturday by Stretch G on Grooveshark
Soul. How does one define it? Especially when it comes to the essence of Soul Music. There are and have been a lot of male soul singers that have graced us with their savory and melodic presence. As I sit here composing this blog my mind starts to wonder about the best male singers to set fire to song like a three-alarm fire that you don't want to put out. I am talking about singers who make you feel every inch of their pain, love and desires in every word they sing.
So do me the favor and listen to some of my favorite Soul Male singers and let me know what you think. I know this will be up for discussion so let the talks begin. I decided to add old and new on this list from David Ruffin, Sam Cooke to Bilal. Comment or tweet me @stretch_66 your thoughts and favorite singers. Enjoy.
