PJ Morton & Jazmine Sullivan – Built For Love
Despite sending shockwaves through the industry post announcing her “retirement”, soulstress Jazmine Sullivan still found her name etched as a feature on some unfortunately overlooked gems. PJ Morton‘s debut single ‘Built For Love’ was certainly one of those gems. A throwback to a time when real music dominated charts, the ‘Lions Tigers & Bears’ beauty unleashed her melismatic roar over the Morton tune about love on the rocks.
Morton, son of famed gospel singer Bishop Paul Morton, tickles the ivories while the two soar over the 70s-inspired duet. The song was released shortly before it was announced that the crooner had signed with Young Money entertainment

Ciara – Shut Em Up
It’s common-knowledge that Ciara’s last studio outing ‘Basic Instinct’ was pretty much a disaster – so much so that she told us she wished it didn’t come out.
However, the project’s poor handling doesn’t mean it didn’t birth some of her best material yet. Case, point ‘Shut Em Up’.
Ironically not featured on the 2010 album’s final tracklist, the cut was one of the many songs leaked and left on the cutting room floor. “Why” is beyond us, as the track was banging!
Produced by Infinity and penned by Soundz, ‘Shut Em Up’ served as an emphatic bite back at all of her critics – doing so over a bouncy beat that thankfully sounded more club-geared, than Pop-star political.
More than anything, the track excels in that anyone can apply the lyrics to their own reality. Too often, those that “can’t” vent by slamming those that “can”. This song tastefully tells them what they can do. {SAM}
Craig David & Rita Ora – Awkward
Before signing onto serve as Roc Nation’s leading newbie, Rita Ora‘s claim to fame came courtesy of ‘What’s Your Flava’ maestro Craig David.
However, while 2008’s ‘Where’s Your Love’ stands as their most recognizable outing, it’s their 2007 duet that ‘Awkward’ that will undoubtedly surprise any unfamiliar with it. Surprising somewhat is that this is Ora’s voice at just 17 years old, boasting a conviction that some of her older contemporaries are still yet to master. Enjoy below {DAVID}
Whose Pick Was Best This Week?!

RITA WHORA
Ciara’s “Shut Em Up” would’ve been a HIT if on the album and released as a single. F*** Jive rec.

I also love “Get It Girl” & “Pretty Girl Swag” & “If Only”
“Swim” and other song which unreleased.

lollllllllllllllll
WHERE’S MY DAMN 50 F*****’ MEN????!!!
Death!
Nah, The Craig David track sounded like they wanted Joss Stone and ended up with Rita as its clear that she’s emulating a voice.
Then 5 years later Rita has a mediocre pop voice, is duetting with Connor Maynard and is wrapped in scandal
Craig David 2000-2004 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Now? gurrrrrrrr bye .. you betta get back to your roots …
Jazmine hands down first time hearing this song have me slow dancing right now.
Jazmine Sullivan has a lot of unknown tracks since not a lot know her as an artist and musician. Her best tracks people don’t know are “My career” and “in vain” TGJ shoulda chose one I those. And I like shut em up by Ciara. Also Ciara’s underrated songs on basic instinct are “heavy rotation” and “yeah I know”.
Yeah, Jazmine has sooooo many unreleased songs, even some that are demos for monica. ‘In vain’ is outstanding, ‘catalog girl’ ‘another broken heart,’ the list goes on
Yes!!!
I love “Yeah I Know”!!
I f****** hope they can shoot the video for that song !!!
I also heard “Cyberlove” an unreleased track by JS but I think youtube deleted it since I can’t find it. And I don’t think they will shoot the video for “Yeah I know” since that song was on Ciara’s lowest selling album and a song from 2 years ago but I wish she would have made that a single. I’m glad TGJ team posted Ciara’s “sophomore”. That song is hot.
Ciara’s Shut Em Up have you twerking from the beginning to the end lol
Grape what the heck is this? your flop list
B**** you better minus one, Janet is an icon. You fave will NEVER have a career like hers.
Janet is not a flop tho bum! She can buy you and ya section 8 family ugly
Jazmine Sullivan I love her >>>>
Sam
Love Janet more than anyone up there! … but my favorite song out of the 4 is Ciara’s Shut Em Down! That song is definitely fire!
Btw, there were some great tracks to choose from off Discipline (Luv, So Much Betta, Curtains).

Its crazy how a lot of these Big record labels are. Artist that was once on top can bare crack a hit. Sometimes it make makes me wonder a lot of s***, like they’re in cahoots or something and set these artist up to fail. I know it sounds crazy and also seeing that its their money that they’re investing but still its a lot to think about.
Sam needs to post how Rob Kardashian rinsed Rita Whora like a bottle of summer’s eve d***** with her skanky flop ass.
Its funny (or, perhaps, shoddy journalism) that in the write up abou the Jasmine Sullivan/ PJ Morton track the last bit is all about how Morton signed to CashMoney… But there’s no mention of him officially joining Maroon 5. Umm hello?
“Shut Em Up” “If Only” “Pretty Girl Swag” “Flaws and All” >>> Ci actually came hard, she just so slept on and over looked. I love her determination. I know she’ll be as big as she wants to be because she refuses to give in..
Rihanna should’ve made ‘Shut em up’ a hit! Cuz she shut y’all haterz up errtyme!
Jazmine Sullivan tho>>>>>>>>>>>>>
