Music In My Mind…

Did you happen to see the Bernard Hopkins/Joe Calzaghe fight last night? Damn the fact that the "White Boy" beat Hopkins, Ray-J sang the National Anthem! No, no, no, damn that! Ray-J sang the anthem with Whitney Houston sitting ringside! What is she thinking? Never mind, I saw the DVD. But what was he thinking, actually trying to sing? Then, they had the nerve to say he had the #1 R&B album in the country, after selling like 55,000 copies in the first week. All of that changes this week when Mariah Carey's album hits the chart and sells like 600K, knocking everything out of the box.

After 8 long months, countless pleas for an early release, days in confinement and hundreds of shout outs on the radio, Foxy Brown was released from prison Friday. Of course her mama was there, management of course, some fans, but her make-up artist and stylist? I know she was tore down! Word is she has an album coming out in three weeks. That's crazy, she was in prison for nearly a year and has an album coming out before she even goes to see her PO, but I've been waiting for new albums from Maxwell and D'Angelo for years…

This whole music thing is jacked up! People running around thinking that Lil' Wayne is the best rapper alive! Puffy has to have a reality show to have a marginally successful act. T-Pain has channeled Roger Troutman; Snoop Dogg & Weezy have followed. Omarion got dropped from his label, R. Kelly's running out of album titles (12 Play: Fourth Quarter???), Erykah Badu is just chanting on her new album and white boys got soul! Not to mention Ray-J had the #1 (well #4 overall) album in the land. Damn I miss Ol' Dirty Bastard!
