I'm really feeling....


B.O.B! I remember this cat as an artist to look out for in XXL about 2 years ago, I blew him off has just another no-name rapper (Rich Boy graced the same pages as well, where the bird chest dude go? and don't give that remix to "Paper planes" either). But the other day I was tuning in on Shade 45 and I heard "I'll be in the sky" was like "DAAAMMMNNN"!!! Now I can't get T.I's "On top of the World" out my ear for shit but I'm not complaining. So I moseyed over to his myspace to right click and save a few flicks and finally listen to "Cloud 9". I recall reading the XXL article about him and this song was mentioned. Guess I won't be blowing off any other rapper to watch out for from XXL...
And don't hate on my cheap technique for posting music, not everybody got Crunk + disorderly or Necole Bitchie money, hell I got a college career to work on.

you should know...

ADELE! I truly do love this woman's voice! This Brit's voice is so smokey, jazzy yet soulful and powerful. I hit youtube up to get my theme music going and I listened to "First love" and I was in tears. There are few songs that stir emotions but it did,deeply. I will say this, the Brit's are mos def bringing Soul, may it be retro but soul nonetheless, back. And my God I'm I glad to hear it! Amy started it, but Duffy and sweet Adele are making it a staple in the world of music once again. On her Myspace, she listed her influences and I was far from surprised to see Alicia Keys, Jill Scott and the one and only Lauryn Hill. Call me crazy, but when I heard "First love" I thought back to the first time I heard "When it hurts so bad". Welcome to America Adele!
