What are your ‘Top 5 Songs Of The Moment’?
Your thoughts?
The video Akon’s new single ‘I Can’t Wait’ premiered today. Featuring T-Pain, the song is lifted from Akon’s second studio album ‘Konvicted’. Both the song and video are pretty decent, yet I can’t help but wonder how these immensely talented individuals (lol lol) are guaranteed chart toppers.
What do you think of the song / video?
In the footage, which is set to appear on music website All Access later this month (Mar08), the hip-hop star reiterates his desire to fight the In Da Club hitmaker – even though he is positive the G-Unit rapper would win. The 37-year-old – real name Joseph Cartagena – says, “He’s mad. We never fought a one-on-one. He should win. I’m being honest with you. “You can put your money on that guy. I just want to bust his f**king new teeth he got. Wide-open. “What he doesn’t understand is that Fat Joe is straight brave heart. I’m a warrior, win or lose… I’m a warrior.”
Ok then…lol. As much as I feel 50’s career is on a downward spiral, Fat Joe stopped being relevant way before. This just comes off as a desperate attempt to drum up interest in whatever, harsh as it sounds, destined-to-flop album he’s looking to release.
With ‘Heaven Sent’ being, hands down, my favourite Keyshia track, I’m real glad it’s getting the single treatment. Be on the lookout for the vid in the weeks ahead.
As well as featuring classic music videos, From The Vault gives a nod to memorable live performances too. Indeed, this week’s video is memorable – for all the wrong reasons; Cassie’s now infamous BET 106 & Park performance of ‘Me & U’. Terrible from start to finish; the 2006 showing left, and continues to leave, many puzzled as to how exactly she bagged a record deal.

After hitting the scene last year with her debut ‘Promise Ring’, 14 year old vocalist Tiffany Evans is back with her second single, the Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins produced ‘I’m Grown’. The video for the single, which features Bow Wow, premiered recently; I must say, I’m liking it. Yes, it’s simplistic and the concept has been done before, but I really respect the fact that she is being branded (songs/videos etc) in a age appropriate way that doesn’t alienate older listeners. With her self-titled album having been pushed back a few times, I’m anxious to see what this undeniable young talent will be serving up in 2008.

01. Diddy’s Intro
02. I’m The Reason
03. Got Me Going
04. In My Bed
05. Come In
06. Are We In This Together
Listening through this has kinda reignited my belief in the guys’ chances of success. The previously unheard ‘I’m The Reason’ as well as ‘In My Bed’ and ‘Are We In This Together’ are very solid cuts. The void left by the likes of 112 and Jagged Edge may just be filled by Day26.
