PEVEN EVERETT – MEDICINE MAN
I’m thinking where to begin… I have mixed emotions… my expectations were so high because Peven is one of my favorite artists. He has set so many levels in music with songs like Special, Burning Hot, Sexy Make Up – however the reigning king of the Underground Club scene only comes off as a prince in his Continue reading »

LIL’ WAYNE – THA CARTER IV
I’m NOT sure if I’m mad at myself for this…but, I actually like Tha Carter IV (THERE I said it). I will also say I STILL don’t get him but, unlike the first three in “Tha Carter” series, I can actually understand most of what he’s saying and the beats are varied enough to let me enjoy what’s going on. Maybe I’m evolving or, maybe Wayne is evolving but, that is a debate for another blog. And, let me clear this out the way now, there are only a couple of really good club cuts and head-bangers. Overall, if you want to get your groove on while you drive Tha Carter IV is for you, which, of course makes it perfect for the LOUNGE. Continue reading »

Rahsaan Patterson – Bleuphoria
So, I will admit, I’m late on this review but, better late than never. And, in this case as long as you listen to Rahsaan’s Bleuphoria you can never be late on good music. Now, I have not always been a fan of Rahsaan, but he did a remake of “I Only Have Eyes For You,” (originally done by the Flamingos, which is one of my all time favorites) and he killed it. So good, I even put it in the mix. And, I’ve had the CD since its’ release.
Bleuphoria is a musical ride over soulful beats that I didn’t think he Continue reading »

So, I’ve come up with a new plan… Let’s just say “The Legendary,” has a new groove. Previously, in the lounge I’ve been waiting to get several good songs in a row to review. But, that became a downer with the LACK of good music out there… which, is a blog for another time. In my new plan, I’m just going to review every piece of music that comes across my computer screen. That means more frequent blogs and more music for you. So, whether it’s good, bad, or, just downright God awful you will hear/read about it first inside Legend’s Lounge. Be careful what you wish for… I’m bbbaaaaccckkkkk!!!!
Mary J. Blige – 25/8 – Geffen
Hey now, so naturally I come back with a fantastic song. The Queen of Hip-Hop/Soul Mary J. Blige is Continue reading »

Is it me? Or is it just NOT enough good music out there for me to review? Here’s some good stuff I found, just right for the Lounge.
Busta Rhymes – Killing Em Baby feat. LL Cool J – Island/Def Jam
Busta has arguably the sickest flow ever, however, when he gets amped up on Killing Em Baby, he doesn’t well kill’em. With production from Ron Browz, who seems intent on just recreating Pop Champagne Killing Em is decisively downtempo. So, it doesn’t really match Busta’s high energy style. And, since the name is a straight rip from Jingling Baby it was only natural Continue reading »
