“Music makes you lose control”. It indeed does!

This week’s From The Vault is dance-floor filler, ‘Lose Control’ by Missy Elliott – who is joined by Ciara and Fatman Scoop. The high-energy track was released as the first single from Ms. Demeanour sixth studio album, ‘The Cookbook’ (2005).

After the touchdown that was ‘1, 2 Step’, Elliott reached out to Ciara for the 2nd round, resulting in an equally fantastic song (if not, better).

The production on the track (helmed by Elliott herself) gives a nod to the basics of Hip-Hop music by using an Afrika Bambaataa-like beat, all the while staying very “modern” and boasting a near-perfect balance between “Urban” and “Pop”. It’s also important to signify that ‘Control’, with its Hip-Hop meets Electronica composition, was precursory of the Urban-Dance craze that is raging until this day.

With its award-winning video showcasing the dynamic duo’s performing skills, this right here is an absolute high-point of each of the ladies careers.

What’s more, with their artistic chemistry being a match made in heaven (see: ‘Work’, their third collabo), we are convinced the world would love to lose more control with those two. We sure know we would.

Bring on Round IV!

Chris Brown continues his live comeback, lighting up the stage at JAM’N 94.5’s Summer Jam last night. While performing a bevy of hits, the 21 year old said to the sold out Boston crowd:

“So about two years ago they weren’t f**king with me, look at me now”

Ditto.

Sales of earplugs have must risen in Baltimore yesterday  morning. For last night the purveyor of the nasal neigh, Rihanna was in town to kick off her ‘Loud Tour‘.

Armed with her trademark hair, so-so vocals and 6 years worth of material, the 23 year old treated fans to a performance they would never forget – for better or for worse.

With cancelled dates and an all-round lack of buzz, Rihanna‘s ‘Loud Tour’ has reportedly had promotoers worried for months. However, instead of shaming the naysayers by putting on an epic show, Fenty opted to shame herself by trying to give a lap-dance on the trek’s opening night in Baltimore yesterday.

Trying to take a leaf out of Janet Jackson‘s book, the 23 year old pulled a female fan on stage, embarrassing herself by giving the stiffest lap-dance you ever saw.

With it being more than 6 months since Kanye West‘s video for ‘Monster’ prematurely surfaced, one would be forgen for thinking that the rapper threw a trademark tantrum and ensured it’d be forever confined to the vault.

However, in a surprising move, the Hip-Hop heavyweight released the final incarnation of the controversial clip moments ago.
