Dear Readers.. So many new things came into my life, professionally and personally, and I just can't find the time to keep updating the blog. I'm sorry to say that I am gonna stop updating the blog for quite a long time. In the mean time you may want to check out these sites which provide new music and are daily updated..
Black Eyed Peas ft. Busta Rhymes - Boom Boom Pow Remix
Ocean's 7 Ft Q Da Kid - Vegas Baby Ocean's & is a new group formed by superstars Nelly, Trey Songz, Johnta Austin, Brian M. Cox, Tyrone(JD Assistant) and Usher
Was a big fan of Backstreet Boys back when they were famous. And I kinda like the direction they are trying to go with their last album and with this one they have successfully transitioned to the new age of boy band music. Apparently they have recorded over 18 songs for their new album and five of them are up for grabs here.
Eminem - We Made You Check out the Music Video(can't be embedded). The much awaited single off Relapse is here. The video is pretty funny, but for me the song was a let down. Hope there are other tracks in the album to lift it up.
Flo Rida Feat Brisco & Billy Blue - Balla Another decent track from Flo-Rida hits YouTube.
Chamillionaire - Relax (feat. J. Holiday) Another song presumably from the much awaited "Venom" from Chamillionaire has released. This is pretty good. I have big expectations for "Venom"
Fat Joe - Cup Cake Feat. Benisour A pretty decent track by Fat Joe featuring Benisour.
Asher Roth - Be By Myself (Ft. Cee-Lo) Asher Roth make me hate him and like him alternatively. I absolutely loved him after the "I Love College" single, but lost popularity with his other below par song that hit the net. But he gained some with this one.
Wale - Penthouse Anthem Wale is a pretty new entry to the Hip Hop main stream, although he has been there for sometime now. Penthouse anthem is a laid back song that is definitely enjoyable.
Wale - Chillin' Feat. Lady Gaga Chillin' feat Lady Gaga(or is it M.I.A, cause the girl sounds so similar to M.I.A). Personally I liked the version of the song without Lady Gaga.
Just the other day I was browsing and something startling came across my eyes. X Men Origins: Wolverine, which is supposed to release on May 1st, was available for download(of course an incomplete workprint with green screens and ropes still visible). This got my eyes popping out of its sockets, and at the same time my skin crawling at the sheer extent to which pirates are willing to go.
I am a guy who doesn't hate or write off piracy as a completely evil thing. If I really want to see a movie, I will see it in the theaters and won't succumb to piracy. And moreover If you want to have the feel of the movie you should watch it in the theaters. But pirates releasing prints of the movie before the movie has even released is one of then despicable acts-an act devoid of ethics.
This has gone to a new level with Wolverine releasing 2 months before its actual release. Even though all pirates doesn't deserve to be punished, the ones who released(and re-released) are very much deserving of the axe of the law. They should be punished rather hardly for committing such an act of "media terrorism".
And according to sources there was over 100,000 downloads for the movie baffled me. Who would want to see an incomplete version of the movie with strings and green screens and destroy the feel of the movie. And before posting something like this one should think about the amount of work put in to the movie by the actors, director and the whole crew, and how they are destroying it single handedly. You should at least give the movie a couple of weeks in the theater before you do something like this.
You can get the work print of the movie even now on p2p networks, but I strongly recommend against it. Not because of the legal implications but because of our moral obligations. The FBI is on the case and 20th Century Fox looks pretty confident that they will find and prosecute the person/persons behind the leak(and I hope so too). Apparently there is some kind of advanced watermarking employed by Fox(USVO watermarking) which will lead to the culprit.
Flo Rida ft Brisco & 4 Mill - Ha(I-Tunes Bonus Track) Flo Rida's new album is really good. He got that blend between Hip Hop and pop that just works. Here is another bonus track off his album "R.O.O.T.S"
Flipsyde- When It Was All Good The much awaited single from their sophomore album. This is a very different Flipsyde from what I have come to love. Chantelle, the new entry to the band, is the lead in the song. Its more of a pop song than the thing they were doing earlier. I just hope there is more different tracks in their new album.
Asher Roth - Family Man Its scary how much Asher Roth is emulating Eminem. He needs to develop his own style, soon or he'll be in big trouble. I loved "I love College" but the rest of his songs that has leaked is still below par.
Sharam feat Kid Cudi - She Came Along Nowadays I listen to anything with the name Kid Cudi. I stumbled upon this track in such a venture. This is a pretty decent track, kinda Clubby.
Ace Hood - Overtime (Feat. Akon & T-Pain) Akon and T-Pain was enough for me to give this song a chance as I hadn't heard of Ace Hood and I liked it. Pretty decent track this.
Kid Cudi ft Wale - Look Up in Da Stars After the recent "retirement" and "un-retirement" of Kid Cudi, releases this awesome track featuring Wale. YouTube is removing videos with this song like crazy. So there is no guarantee that this embedded video will be there when you see.
Keri Hilson (Feat. Kanye West & Ne-Yo) - Knock You Down(Official Video) I know this is not new but the video is and its one of the videos that got my attention. Keri Hilson is sexy.
R. Kelly Feat Flo-Rida Rewind That
Git Fresh Ft Rick Ross & Jamie Foxx - Swag Up
Flo Rida's R.O.O.T.S has leaked on internet, but think I'm gonna wait for the actual release. So I'm not posting any songs from him.
An awesome Bollywood version of Apple's iconic iTunes ads! Dancers are silhouetted against a vibrant green background in classic iTunes ad style, performing Bharat Natyam, Kathak, Indian Folk, Hip-Hop, and modern Bollywood dance. The song used is "Bachna Ae Haseeno" from the movie Bachna Ae Haseeno, which is actually a remix of an older song by the same name.
Sure we have known this for long how the iPod has changed the way the world listens to music, revolutionizing the way things are. The new deal between Steven Job’s Apple and Hungama.com means that Indipop music and Bollywood soundtracks can be downloaded from iTunes across America, Europe and Asia with effortless ease and reasonable rates. This will be a big help for the Music Industry in India as its struggling from piracy by opening up a whole new market.
Anyways the ad is catchy, I just wish they didnt use the word Bollywood, which in my opinion is so degrading to Indian Film Industry.
P.S. Thanks to Kiran who send me this video and brought this into my notice.
Singer and producer Pharrell bursts into a McDonald’s in Paris, France before they open and starts to dance like Michael Jackson and sings "I want a Big Mac, Filet-O-Fish, Quarter Pounder, French Fries / Icy Coke, Thick Shakes, Sundaes, Apple Pie" for his breakfast. This is hilarious and they didn't even recognize who he was and actually went away leaving him at the store. Is he on crack or something? :D Who does that? Enjoy!!!!!
Asher Roth - Lark on my Go Kart After the much enjoyable(and for me a song that I can totally relate) "I Love College" Asher Roth is back with Lark on my Go Kart. This track is not as enjoyable as I Love College, but still after a couple of listenings I come to like the song.
Flo Rida - Yayo ft Brisco, Billy Blue, Ball Greezy, Rick Ross, Redd Eyezz, Bred, Pitbull, & Ace Hood Flo Rida's songs from upcoming R.O.O.T,S has been leaking like crazy.If it goes on like this there wont be a new song in his album releasing on March 31st. From the tracks that leaked this one is going to big. Here is a bonus track from R.O.O.Ts featuring a long list of artists.
Kevin Rudolf - Welcome to the World ft Kid Cudi Kevin Rudolf's debut album is simply great. Almost all the songs off it are amazing and especially "Welcome to the World". The cream on the cake is this song is remixed featuring Kid Cudi and its more awesome that before.
Square Off ft Krayzie Bone - We Ridin (Remix) Square Off is a totally unknown group for me. I decided to listen to this track on a random basis and wasn't disappointed at all. This song has got enough material to keep on listening for weeks.
Gorilla Zoe - Helluvalife ft Gucci Man and OJ Da Juiceman I hadn't heard of any songs from Gorilla Zoe even though i had heard the name flying around here and there. Finally I listened to Lost ft Lil Wayne and absolutely loved it. That introduction made me look out for stuff from him.
I cudn't find this song on YouTube. So here is aDownload link(Mediafire)
Nicole Scherzinger - Punchin' (Produced by Polow Da Don) Nicle Scherzinger is trying to come solo from Pussycat Dolls I guess and it makes sense too because she is the only one who does anything other than wear skimpy clothes and dance in the background. This track is produced by Polow Da Don who is turning out to be quite the producer nowadays. Great work on this track as well.
Jadyn Maria - Villain ft Flo Rida Jadyn Maria is a new name for me too, but with the name Flo Rida I had to listen to this track. This is a pretty good track following the latest trend of dance inspired R&B with funky club sounds and of course Flo Rida.
Mims- Let Me Do My Thang ft Shawty Lo After "This is Why I'm Hot" Mims haven't been able to come up with a decent song for a while. Today that just changed with Let Me Do Mu Thang. From the songs that supposedly leaked off his new album this is is my favorite.
I hate to post this right after I made a post on how Kid Cudi is going to be the next big thing. But in a vociferous rant in his blog Kid Cudi announced his retiring from the music industry. Retiring??? Even before his debut album dropped? Doesn't it sound crazy?
I don't know what got into him( or if this whole thing is a big publicity stunt). Anyways he claims the drama of being famous is way more harder than the stuff he had to deal when he was broke. He says he want to drop out of the game before he looses his peers and his supporters crucify him? (wtf??) Read on for his rant.
iam sorry March 16th, 2009
AFTER THE RELEASE OF MY FIRST LP THIS SUMMER, IAM NOT MAKING ANY MORE SOLO ALBUMS. IAM FALLIN BACK ON BEING A ARTIST.

I just hope this is a big publicity stunt or if he means it then he change his mind. I was just beginning to warm up to him. I wonder what Kanye would be thinking?..
P.S - I got a little busy these days and there is pretty much nothing interesting happening in both the Music and Movie industry. That's why the slag on blogging. :)
Kid Cudi is the new kid on the Hip Hop block who is setting the pace for a whole new sound. His music fuses dance, rock, rnb and hip hop and he is currently the hottest new hip-hop artist in the US, and has signed to Kanye West’s label after catching the Love Lockdown artist’s attention with the release of his mixtape A Kid Named Cudi.
I first saw him on Kanye's "Heartbreak" which featured him. Then came the immensely lovable "Day 'N' Night"
Then dropped his Sky Might Fall which is produced by Kanye and just by that you all know its bound to be great. A totally different sound.
With the release of Super Boo Kid Cudi just made his place firm in my "albums to look out for list". You have to listen to this guy.
He released another track today called Switching Lanes which is also pretty good.
Its time for the round up of new trailers..once again.
X-Men Origins:Wolverine To start off the brand new trailer of X-Men Origins has hit the internet. I get the feeling that this one is going to be epic. There is also a flash of young Cyclops in there. Wonder how thats gonna turn out.
Plot: Wolverine lives a mutant life, seeks revenge against Victor Creed (who will later become Sabertooth) for the death of his girlfriend, and ultimately ends up going through the mutant Weapon X program.
Star Trek A new trailer of Star Trek has been released. I've never been a Star Trek fan and as a matter opf fact I positively hated the only movie I've seen(Star Trek: Nemesis). But from the looks of this trailer I may like this one.
Plot: A chronicle of the early days of James T. Kirk and his fellow USS Enterprise crew members.
Public Enemies Johnny Depp and Christian Bale- Do I need to say more? May be the director Michael Mann(The Heat, The Insider, The Last oh the Mohicans) ring a bell.
Plot: The Feds try to take down notorious American gangsters John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson and Pretty Boy Floyd during a booming crime wave in the 1930s.
17 again A new trailer of 17 again is up at YouTube. This sounds pretty similar to "13 going on 30" but just the reverse. But from the trailer this can be entertaining. A good family entertainer I guess.
Plot: About a guy whose life didn't quite turn out how he wanted it to and wishes he could go back to high school and change it. He wakes up one day and is seventeen again and gets the chance to rewrite his life.
