terrible duets & amazing collabos.

it's strange to think that i have had this blog for exactly one month without mentioning chris brown and all his flyness. corey thomas has asked me about my thoughts on his new single "no air" with jordin sparks. while i am so over last year's season of american idol, i am also over this tragic duet.



DAYUM. chris brown is lookin good from his oversized beanie down to his dunks. can't say the same about ms. jordin (ZING!).

most pathetic youtube comment about this music video:
Sork531 said:
i love this song, every time i listen to it, it reminds me of my camp girlfriend and how we can only see each other once in a while =[

fer real? camp girlfriend? that comment has solidified the lameness of this song.

so while i love chris brown with all my heart, he is so much better than this. this is me hating on jordin sparks.


turning away from bad match-ups, let's talk about something that is dynamite in the world of pairs.

prefixmag.com has said that common and q-tip are in midst (it's about damn time) of working on their group project, the standard. apparently q-tip will be producing the majority of the tracks, while they might recruit kanye for a couple as well. mmm, i can't wait.

speaking of hot future events...
the roots new album, rising down, will be released on april 29th. while that is prime news in itself, what makes it even greater are the guest features from mos def, talib kweli, wale, chrisette michelle, and potential contributions from lupe, common, and q-tip.
