I wish I could comment on the episode but I haven't listened.
Flo Rida has created a party host dream album with his debut LP “Mail On Sunday”, with every type of party song in attendance, a Dj could literally power a club on just Flo-Rida for weeks. He starts off his album with an upbeat club rocker featuring lil’ Wayne who surprisingly ends up slowing down the song with his more lyrically focused flow. This trend continues even when you get to a song like “Elevator” whose opening beat is slow and built for well placed lyrics but Timberland quickly speeds this up and it becomes the standard club rocker.
Something weird happens around the Track 6 that’s never happened to me while listening to a hip hop album, I forgot it was on and it became background/elevator music. Now I’m not sure if this is because Baby starts rapping or because this album isn’t meant to be listened to and studied, but danced to. The amount of catchy club tracks who’s hooks will stick in your head much longer than you would like is impressive and hasn’t been seen since Nelly’s second album.
The downside to this album is a lot of Hip Hop fans aren’t Dj’s and party host, they are hip hop heads who want either substance or cleverness, females who want strongly R&B influenced, and suburban white kids who wanna feel gangsta for 80 minutes. This album only barely pays lip service to each of these demographics, for the ladies he offers up the song, ”Me & U” about everlasting love. For our urban and suburban crowd, he discusses his hard road to get to this destination and all the hustling he had to do on the song “All My Life”. Lastly in an attempt to impress the hip hop fans, he created a clever song called “Still Missing” in which he personifies garden tools to describe the lost of his girl: I take care of yalllll errday / don’t know why my hoe got missing / my rake in good condition / my lawn mower in position.
Don’t get the impression that I think this album is bad or that Flo Rida can’t rap, because neither is true. He just clearly set out to make a certain type of album and in the process ostracized a majority of the people who listen to the genre. If you wish to hear a different side of Flo Rida, just check out his mix-tape “Welcome to Flo Rida”.
As a club album this gets: **** As an album for general use it gets: **
Why cheat on Halle Berry Mr. Benet? WHY?
You guys remember the J. Lo movie about her being abused by her husband and she took the law in her own hands....well here is the real life version.
SMH at the camera guy whispering "Hit her again, hit her again!" and everyone standing around just letting him beat on her. Shorty got a mean left hand though.
You know Barack is gonna get the hood vote.
Suge Knight's new "reality show" follows him around as he tries to find talent for his new record label, Black Ball Records.

The Elephant In The Room ***1/2
Before I get into the actual songs lets quickly outline the concept of this album, The Elephant In The Room, is an image of a huge reality that everyone ignores out of convenience; rather than admit it’s there and be forced to deal with the elephant in the living room. This is the argument that Fat Joe is trying to make with this album, he has put out great material and albums in the past but everyone ignores him as if he has not contributed to the rap game. The best track of the album features KRS-One Joe; actually makes the claim he’s the G.O.A.T.greatest of all time and is promptly corrected by KRS.
If Fat Joe was not on your top ten list before this album he will not be after it, this album did not help his status any; it did not contribute to his status nor did it detract to it. Do not confuse this for a diss, this is not a bad album it’s just not a great one. Joe’s strength has always been in his ability to describe scenes and situations. It seems that he’s either ran out of things to describe or that he has lost interest in that style of hip-hop, on tracks like "K.A.R" and "My Conscience" you see what this entire album could have been.
Now to cover the two questions most casual fans will have about the album, does he respond to attacks made by his rivals and how is the Lil Wayne collaboration? To answer the first, yes and no, while he never dedicates a track to someone like 50 or Remy Ma he does take subliminal shots at a few of them, for example on the track Crack House "Convicts in my plane when we roll up/ and they hustle ye not Vitamin wata" is an example of the indirect responses he has for his enemies. Speaking of crack house featuring Lil Wayne, I must say it’s a disappointment and not just because Wayne only does the hook. The song Crack House struggles to be anything worth noting, it seems to be just random thoughts combined with mediocre punch lines, it leaves me wondering what the goal was for this song; as a club song its doesn’t have the lasting appeal of "Make It Rain" and a song about crack isn’t as radio friendly as "Lean Back", and it really leaves you with the question of why they didn’t re-record this.

If you didn't get yesterday's Heat go get it now!!! That album is fire!!!
Popular R&B group, Dru Hill, recently did a radio spot in Baltimore and announced their reunion, minutes later one of the members announced that he no longer wanted to be in the group.
I thought it might be real until the "fist fight" at the end. Watch as the guy yells at Sisqo "You not supposed to be drivin'". Publicity stunt.
I know this isn't for everyone but I got some singles....I'll post them later. This album cover is ill thought. Cee-lo and Dangermouse are creative dudes so if you aren't hip give it a chance.
New mixtape will be up Friday!!!
TIP, Remy, Ras Kass, even the dude from the Stop Snitchin' DVD.....whose next?
If you like rap you will love this mixtape. Let me know if you guys would rather me post whole mixtapes or just singles.
Please keep Juve in your prayers.....this is a sad commentary on the state of our nation.
