Dr. Dre's "Dr. Dre Presents... The Aftermath" was out on my birthday!

It's very interesting fact I faced today! The Dr. Dre Presents the Aftermath album was released on November 26, 1996. - My Birthday Date.

Just in fact, this is a compilation which was the first release on Aftermath after Dre left Death Row Records and abandoned gangsta rap, claiming that he had "Been There, Done That".

Do u know that famous American singer Montell Jordan left the music business to become a Minister?

Do you know who is Montell Jordan? Of course, you do! But first let me tell you some interesting facts about him and his success.


Montell Jordan was born and raised in South Central L.A., CA. Many of us know the name from R&B circles. Those of us who flip to an R&B station every once in a while may remember his mega-hit, "This Is How We Do It" or "Get It On Tonite".

When I started out, I was just the church pianist. As I began to get into my teens, that's when I started to sing and the reason was because being in Los Angeles, a lot of older kids I looked up to became victims to gang violence, drugs or prison. Because of that, the male role models I had started to disappear. There came a time where I was the musician over a choir and there were no more (or very few) males left in the choir. Because of that, we had many female vocalists leading songs. I had to start leading some of the songs. And that's when I started singing.

You know, my favorite Montell's work is "More". I can play many times such songs like "Tricks On My Mind", "What's On Tonight", "Let Me Be The One (Come Runnin')", "Never Alone", "Everything Is Gonna Be All Right" and More. So I always put it on repeat again and again.

He also had a cameo appearance in "The Nutty Professor (1996)", and he performed on the documentary Standing in the Shadows of Motown. So now your eyes are full of hesitation but I hope you remember this guy! I guess!

An excellent songwriter in his own right, he's written songs like, Incomplete by Sisqo and the enormous hit, "Nobody's Supposed To Be Here" by Deborah Cox. Although admittedly, he is not a gospel artist, he feels passionate about where God has him. His calling isn't typical of most artists out there, but he believes he's in the vineyard just the same.

He is now a born-again Christian and can be seen at Victory World Church in Atlanta, GA performing with the church band. In late 2010, Jordan announced that he was officially leaving his music career behind to become a Worship Minister at Victory World Church.

This fact really got me thinking that Montell brings peace to the society and his music would never disappear. -- My words!

Death Row Records - 50 million albums worldwide.

Fathers of Gangsta Rap: Dr. Dre, 2Pac & Snoop Dogg. And, of course, it wouldn't be such a great success without Suge Knight, founder of Death Row Records. What else can I say?! Go 'head and check it out:

You know, I have a dream to record my LP at Death Row. A lot of songs and lyrics that I write and record is Gangsta Rap oriented to The Westcoast way of living. I just gotta finish it! Okay, We'll see about that!

Diddy-Dirty Money - Loving You No More (feat. Drake)



Just watch the video and tell me if it isn't a perfect video for the song. Although an idea is based on "Last Night" + "Come To Me" I think this is one of the best things that I've watched this year.

I like this groove and plus these girls got a wonderful and soulful voice. And it wouldn't be so big without Drake. Hell Yeah Diddy did it again!

NEW ALBUM BY ONE OF MY FAVORITE R&B ARTISTS JAMIE FOXX IS OUT!

I'm having an up-down feeling about this CD. Jamie Foxx has a beautiful voice, and I love to hear him REALLY sing from his gut up. I think he's great at ballads, and he's one of a handful of today's R&B artists who can sing a capella and completely blow me away. When I heard the beginning of this CD, I thought he was dumbing down his voice entirely too much. The problem with party tracks is you don't really have to sing to pull them off. As long as you can carry a tune, a party track will work because people are more concerned with dancing and catchy choruses. Jamie Foxx is above all that. There's a reason he was so good at his role as Ray Charles. There's a reason why I'd fast forward through "The Jamie Foxx Show" to get to the parts where he'd sing some random tune.

There are a bunch of songs on here that are okay, but they seem to fit somebody who's into the whole singer-rapper career. I shrugged through "Living Better Now," "Winner" and "Freak." "Yep, Dat's Me" was cool until I got to Ludacris' part. I thought it was fine with just Soulja Boy and Jamie Foxx, but I like that song more because Jamie kept going on music TV stations and talk shows making the crowd chant that. I'm bored with the liquor songs like "Best Night of My Life."

"Hit It Like This" was his regular nymphomaniac style, and it took me a minute, but I smiled through this one. "Fall for Your Type" seemed like a Drake song instead of a Jamie Foxx song because that dude stays complaining about being heartbroken, but I immediately liked that song.

I loved "Let Me Get You on Your Toes" from the time I heard him sing it on "Lopez Tonight." "15 Minutes" makes me want to watch an episode of "Martin." Funny song, but he was trying to be sexy. "Sleeping Pill" was excellent, but what is up with this dude and liquor? How many Patron plugs can there be on one CD? The rest of the songs were cool. It's not that I don't like the CD. I just like smooth R&B more than pop/dance tracks like "All Said and Done" and "Sex on the Beach." It sounds like he's using a vocoder. Why? He can already sing.
