Aaliyah remembered

in Rant by G. Valentino Ball on August 25th, 2010

Its hard to believe that its been 9 years since she passed. The fact that so many people are connected to her even after all this time is a testament to her work. I always thought that Timbaland’s best work was with Jay Z and her. Aaliyah and Tim had a true synergy. Aaliyah was sexy without being sleazy. Her music had a romantic and heartfelt tone. That’s why people rocked so hard with her. She wasn’t selling sex. She was making real music. DJ Pup Dawg announced via his twitter that he would be paying tribute and I am sure other stations in the area will be following suit. If you weren’t around to hear her make sure you take a listen and get a lesson. Below is one of my personal favorites, We Need A Resolution.

You can’t go out to a decent club and not hear this song. We need a little bit of smoothness around here these days. Mavado comes through to bless this one.

The video is from a track titled “Mr. President”. It features BR, Badnewz, and Letia Larok. The track is from “The A.W.N.I.A.A.

This is a drop from DJ 3rd Eye speaking about the project. He’s currently doing life upstate. If anyone has anyone locked up right now make sure you write them kites, fill those canteens and make sure your fam is staying mentally free.

Styles P Ft. Tyler Woods – Invincible

in Rant by MajorMusic on May 11th, 2010

This should be Tyler Woods featuring Styles P because Tyler does most of the song… and it’s pretty damn good… apparently it’s off of the soundtrack for Styles upcoming book.
