RR’s ’09 Worst Singles: #5 New Boyz “You’re A Jerk”

Number five should’ve been number one to me. This past spring, the New Boyz jerked *snickers* their way on to the scene with the diddly “You’re A Jerk”. More irritating than catchy was the track’s repetitive sample. Ah crap, now it’s stuck in my head. Even more disparaging are the duo’s shitty rhymes—or lack thereof. “I’m so cocky with it/ Got my iced out clubs like Rocky hit it”. Young nigga please. Loosen them jeans and tighten your act. Before: […]

RR’s ’09 Best Albums: #5 Fabolous “Loso’s Way”

It’s easy at first to dismiss Fab’s latest CD as being just like all of his previous. Well Loso’s coming out party doesn’t deviate far from his hardcore hip-hop/R&B flavored collabo formula except for the fact that these joints got a lil extra bang to them. You can’t front on the emotive “Imma Do It” and the verbal intercourse displayed with Lil Wayne on the stirring “Salute”. Your ladyfriend will enjoy Ryan Leslie’s captivating contribution (“Everything, Everyday, Everywhere”) and appearances […]

RR’s ’09 Worst Singles: #6 Birdman x Jay Sean “Written On Her”

I appreciate Bryan “Baby” Williams business acumen for signing London-based hitmaker Jay Sean but that doesn’t mean I want him to make any music with the mate. Obviously this joint is designed for clubs from the East Side of Manhattan to Europe but even if I was rose champagned-up like Drake, poppin ex pills like Irv Gotti in his prime, and surrounded in all four corners by skrippers, would I think this song even sounds halfway tolerable. Thankfully, it didn’t […]

RR’s ’09 Best Albums: #6 50 Cent “Before I Self Destruct”

Good things come to those that wait. And after a couple of false starts, 50’s Before I Self Destruct finally saw the light of day last November. First, he tested the waters with “OK You’re Right” and “Flight 187”. Soon after, he made a big splash with “Crime Wave”,  “Baby By Me”, and “Psycho”. By year’s end he satisfied his female core with, “Do You Think About Me”. Hate it or love it, but 50 actually delivered. Before: RR’s ’09 […]
