Dope Music Monday --- Fat Joe, Young Jeezy, Trina, Keri Hilson, Diddy, Erykah Badu, Lil Wayne, A. Skywalker, E Dot Spencer

"HaHa" (Slow Down Son) Fat Joe ft Young Jeezy
EXPLICIT LYRICS

Comes in nice and the hook is catchy so it has potential but in my opinion this is definitely an album track. Fat Joe is known as an under-rated rapper but this song doesn't prove that. Young Jeezy saves the song a tad but Fat Joe brings little to no "firepower" on this one. When you hear the song you'll know the sample. I see the direction Fat Joe was trying to go in with this song but he didnt get there!!!

B EASY!!! ITS JUST MY OPINION

HaHa (Slow Down Son) is Fat Joes first single off his upcoming album Darkside.

"Million Dollar Girl" Trina ft Keri Hilson and Diddy

I don't know if Trina is qualified to have a record about being a "Million Dollar Girl" cause she's far from that, but none the less the song holds its own. I can see this song making it based on Trina's following fan base and it being the first solid song from Trina in a long time. Diddy puts his normal 2 cents in about being "The Richest of the Richest" and Keri laces the hook. Hopefully the video will bring me all the way around to a believer!!

B EASY!!! ITS JUST MY OPINION

"Million Dollar Girl" is from Trina's up coming album Amazin' due out June 2010

"Jump In The Air and Stay There" Erykah Badu ft Lil Wayne
EXPLICIT LYRICS

I love this song!! A catchy metaphor for being "HIGHLY DRUGGED" the song is typical Erykah Badu. Who better to put on a track talking about being high then Lil Wayne?!? He definitely delievered like only Wayne can do. Wayne raps his verse like he's "high" forgetting and mispronunicating words---VERY CREATIVE. Erykah Badu is back with another hot song as usual!! Well done Erykah and Wayne.

B EASY!!! ITS JUST MY OPINION

"Jump In The Air and Stay There" will hopefully be on her new album New Amerykah Part II: Return of the Ankh due out March 2010

"1 Nite" REMIX A. Skywalker ft E Dot Spencer

SMOOOOOOTH!!! I love this record!!! It reminds me of a laid-back-wine-drinking-grown-and-sexy-type-of-record. A. Skywalker and E Dot compliment each other for a great quality smooooooth music. They hold their own and they don't out shine each other on the track. If you're ready to bob your head check this track out. EXCELLENT JOB FELLAS!!!
