Album Review: Trey Songz - Passion, Pain, Pleasure

Trey shows that his reign on the R&B throne is not a fluke. After a successful turnout of his last album , Ready , he drops Passion, Pain, Pleasure , just a year after Ready. And from what I heard, this tape may cause more pregnancies then all my Sexual Seduction tapes combined. Reason why I say this is because of a past project. If you recall, before he dropped Ready, he dropped what was basicallu one of the top R&B mixtapes of 2009 with Anticipation. It was more personal, deeper, more intimate, So when Ready was more on the Pop side, people became skeptical. I guess Trey's management spotted that which is why PPP is more like Anticipation, which in return increase his fans' adoration by miles.

I like that he does most of the album BY HIMSELF to show his range and talent. Only features I spot are Bottoms Up with Nicki Minaj and Unusual with Drake. Also some tracks still have the sexual feel as well as being club hits, like 'Alone' and 'Blind'. But the majority of the album is very intimate like the radio hit 'Cant Be Friends'. Something that the ladies are longing for , Trey will provide.

Personally, he stepped up from Ready. Now it's proof, his reign is not a fluke. Hopefully this can inspire more intimate R&B records like back in the 90s that we all grown to love
And as i see, people are already trying to make babies to PPP. LOL. Don't send Tremaine Aldon Neverson the child support bill. You are responsible for your actions.

Passion, Pain, Pleasure in stores now.

2010 MTV VMAs Recap

source via HipHopDX.com

Late night talk show host Chelsea Handler hosted the 2010 MTV Video Awards, being the first woman in 16 years to do so. While the night featured a number of Hip Hop performances, The genre did not fare so well in the awards aspect.

Eminem opened the show with the first single from his Recovery album, "Not Afraid" and was later joined by Rihanna to perform "Love the Way You Lie." Em won two awards, including Best Male Video and Best Hip Hop Video, but left after his performance to join Jay-Z on their New York/Detroit tour.

Rick Ross made a quick and somewhat bizarre appearance on an electric scooter, picking up Handler and not appearing on the show again.

As has been reported this past week, Taylor Swift recently wrote a song for Kanye West, which she performed during the show. The song was reported to have been a sort of "forgiving" for Kanye's infamous antics at last year's VMAs. While much of the lyrics felt unrelated to the rapper, others were spot-on references to 'Ye: '32 is not growing up now/Who you are is not what you did/ You're still an innocent…Everyone of us has messed up too.'

Drake was joined by Mary J. Blige and Swizz Beatz on the piano. The trio performed the T.I.-featured "Fancy," although T.I. did not attend the awards show, possibly because of recent drug charges.

5-time VMA nominee B.o.B. took the stage with both Bruno Mars and Hayley Williams to perform both "Nothing On you" and "Airplanes." However, B.o.B did not win any awards.

New G.O.O.D. artist Pusha T joined Kanye West, who was the last performer of the night. West raised a toast to all the "douche bags," "assholes," "scum bags," and "jerk offs" in reference to last year's VMA fiasco. "You've been putting up with my shit for way too long," he sang during the performance.

While Eminem left the awards show early, Jay-Z (who was also nominated for awards) did not attend the show, nor did wife Beyonce. Nicki Minaj lost out on the Best New Artist Award to Justin Beiber, while Pop artist Lady Gaga ended up taking home many of the awards including Best Female Artist and Video Of The Year for "Bad Romance."

Things Benz noticed:

-Em proved he still the best to do it.

-Nicki performance is wierd but wierd is offically in

-Justin took a page outta MJ's book in dancing and can be Linkin Park's drummer.

-Drake's performance was REAL especially with Mary J, the Queen of R&B

-Em can add on to his legacy by albums like Recovery

-Kanye was great making a sample live and shoutout to the assholes, and getting the very same ppl that booed him a year ago jump on his D**k again

-Lady Gaga swept the awards. SWEPT. She is now Madonna. Respect

New XXL Cover: Nicki Minaj n Drake: King & Queen??

Here's the New May Cover of the XXL. Nice cover. Two of the top acts in the game.....BUT...

Do you honestly think they are rap royalty??...You know they saying Drake is now #1. And Nicki is like the "best female rapper alive"(Drake said that). And then there's Hiroshima(my new word for barbie nation. Whether that sticks i don't know).

When I think rap royalty i think..Death Row with Pac. Wu-Tang had it for a second. Jay-Z and Roc-a-fella. Eminem and Shady. I know Young Money is a conglomerate now but...is it fair?

Personally I think they jumped the gun too soon.

Jay-Z / Lil Wayne at MSG: Lil Wayne

It's no secret every time Jay-Z steps in Madison Square Garden, its a memorable performance. Last night was no different. In New York's stop on the BP3 tour, there's definitely will be a story line. As Jeezy performed, none other than Lil Wayne steps out to perform "Im Goin In" The crowd roared like a Larry Johnson 4-point play in the playoffs. Just to think, Weezy was supposed to be sentenced to jail only to have a fire break out in the courthouse. Hours later, he made an historic event in the Mecca of Arenas....

Coincidence? or planned? hmmm...either way, i wish i was there.





Weezy: from Jail to MSG in a day.



Drizzy, Weezy, Jeezy



Every time Drake shows up in NYC, his careers takes a step forward



Good to see Nicki back home



Trey Songz

Shoutout to MetroMixNewYork for the pics. You can find a lot more on their website
MTV or YouHeardthatNew for the video

Jay-Z calls MSG "The house Hov Built" - cant argue with that
Lil Wayne's sentence always gets pushed back...what does it do to his street cred?

All I'm saying is.....We will know for real if Wayne is REALLY a blood when he gets to Rikers.

Ludacris ft. Nicki Minaj - My Chick Bad (VIDEO)

Video came out on 106 & Park today. Say what you want bout Nicki but she went IN on this track. And Luda is slick as always. DJs better spin this ish in the clubs.

Battle Of The Sexes album out March 9th.

P.S. Necole Bitchie said Nicki Minaj is becoming the Lady Gaga of hip hop. I'm thinking she's right. But better yet, why don't Gaga n Minaj do a track together?
