*Video* Wale Shares Episode 1 of “The Gifted”

He may be trying to spark some interest for his upcoming project, but whatever the reason, I’m loving this montage of “gifted” individuals that Wale highlights.  It’s about time that artists start encouraging others to follow their dreams and also start realizing their own God-given potential.  Check out Episode 1 of “The Gifted”:

Reagan Gomez’s Web Series “Almost Home”

Remember my interview with the lovely Reagan Gomez back in February?  Well, she kept her promise to fans and began filming her web series, “Almost Home”.  Her goal was to create quality roles for people, especially women, of color and she raised enough money to begin production.  The first three episodes are on YouTube and I must say, I am pleasantly surprised.  Not to mention, the music that is featured is amazing.  She gave me the heads up that all of the music in “Almost Home” will be released via a soundtrack so stay tuned!  Check out the first three episodes:

Don’t call it a comeback (like, seriously…don’t).  I love Cassie’s style, she’s obviously gorgeous, but I’m not 100% sold on this track.  I like it, but I don’t love it yet.  Let me know what you think!

*Video* Chris Brown “Fine China”

Breezy’s latest hit screams Michael Jackson!  The song is pretty catchy and the video is full of theatrics and it may or may not have a Karrueche look alike, but let’s see what you all think.  Check out “Fine China” and drop some feedback!

Interview: Tatyana Ali on Wendy Williams

So, all of my readers hopefully know by now that I am absolutely in love with Drake!  It pains me to hear Wendy ask Tatyana whether or not she has hooked up with him (yikes!), but it is the only reason why I am posting this on my site (lol).  All Drake every-thang!  This is a cute interview; check out what she says:

*Video* Love & Hip-Hop’s Tahiry Jose: “Devil” ft. Styles P and Uncle Murda! [The Reasons Why I Hate It]

I NEVER rip people on my site because this is a place to spread good news, great stories of success, interviews, music and more.  However, I think it’s a disgrace when people try and “drop” some music or a video just because they’ve reached reality television fame.  This industry has taken a turn for the worse and the artists who are TRULY talented and take their craft seriously, should be offended that videos like “Devil” even make it into production.

Tahiry is so beautiful, but let’s face it…music is not her strong point.  The video is horrible, her voice sounds bad and her body is bangin’, but the clothes were very unflattering.  Her management team SHOULD have done a better job with making sure the song was mixed better and coming up with a better video, PERIOD.  I see artists on my site, in my email, on Twitter, etc. wanting me to feature their music, wanting me to spread the word and they are SO talented, yet they never get that big shot to make it in the music world.  I feature as many up-and-coming artists as I can, without flooding my site with just music, but Tahiry may have just sparked a long stream of new/undiscovered artists on my site, just so I feel better about putting this whack video on here.

I hate to be so blunt, because I believe everyone should follow their dreams, but I will call a fraud when I see one.  I come in contact with too many gifted musicians to let this slide.  Check it out for yourself:
