Who would’ve thought that Bootsy Collins would be doing a Christmas album one day? Certainly not this here amateur album reviewer sitting at his iMac G4 typing away so furiously! Originally, the album was released around this time last year (that’s late 2006 in case you’re wondering) but for some strange reason, I didn’t really [...]

On How Life Is – Macy Gray
Posted in Reviews on December 11, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
It was a typical day in mid 1999. I was over at my aunty’s house in the country, furiously flicking through all of the channels on cable TV, trying with all of my might to settle on a station so I could finally sit down & enjoy something on that big ole hellavision of hers. [...]
Pandemonium – The Time
Posted in Prince, Reviews, The Time on December 5, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
The fourth Time album was originally released back in 1990 by Paisley Park Records. It was to be their one & only effort for their buddy in Minneapolis’ own record label & was distributed by Reprise Records. Why it was not released under the typical “Warner Brothers” logo is beyond me. However, it was brought [...]

I’m sure most of you out there will only remember Inner Circle as that band who had two of the biggest hits of the ’90s: “Bad Boys” and “Sweat.” However, the guys have actually been around for several years & at one point, they were signed to Island Records, so obviously they were label mates [...]

This record was originally released back in 1997, not too long after he released his debut album “Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite,” for Columbia Records in 1996. I seem to recall a certain fella with a website called Players World bigging this album up back in the day, encouraging us to go pick it up, cuz [...]

This is the first ever ’solo’ recording from Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.I.Am, which serves as the soundtrack to an internet-only film called “Lost Change,” originally released all the way back in 2001 via British indie imprint, BBE (Barely Breakin’ Even) Records.
Voodoo – D’Angelo

Back when this record was being recorded in 1999, The Roots’ drummer Questlove posted a review of it on his section of Okayplayer.com. He was more or less really hyping it up, proclaiming such things as: “I guarantee you…..at least four or five of your favourite artists were on their knees crying as this album [...]
