Music: Tribute to an Angel

In her precious 22 years, Aaliyah achieved more than many do in several lifetimes...
The music industry truly lost an angel 10 years ago. A decade later and her legacy has yet to fade, I strongly agree with others that if she were still alive many artists wouldn't be as successful. Her music captured the very essence of what her listeners were feeling right down to the baseline. It wasn't just about the lyrics or the fact that her vocals were unchallenged, the music said so much under each word...you could and still can listen to instrumentals and feel were she was coming from. [sighs] I always wonder were she'd be now, who would she collab with? Lil Wayne, Drake, J. Cole, which either of them I think would have been epic. There's no doubt she'd surpass anyone's expectations, where she was before she left us was only the beginning. I guess I'll just continue to listen to my old school music, they never have or will make them like Aaliyah. Salute.

Music: Ri Ri Releases "Talk That Talk" Album Cover

The new cover art for Talk That Talk, Rihanna's sixth LP album, has been released and my has Rihanna evolved over the years. Some people love the edge the artist has put on, others disapprove of her actions, and find it to be a negative connotation to her image (shrugs)...after all this time you'll either love her or hate her.

The album is set to drop on November 21, 2011 and with her recent single We Found Love, I wonder what the tone of the album will be...mmm.


Love or Hate?
