New Eclipse trailer!! WOOT!

Ms. MusiQ: Living that *Team Edward* life.

I almost forgot about ME....

I had it in my mind that I could take on a million projects at one time and give each one my undivided attention. For a little while, it was easy to actually get each task done but, exhaustion came and sucked that life right out of it....

Blogging wasn't fun anymore.
I stopped [song] writing.
I didn't want to go out and network.
The vision I had for my business slowly faded out.
I started to feel physically drained and eventually unhappy... & suffocated....

I finally realized that, not only had I been putting way too much energy into other people's projects, but I've also been taking on way more than I could chew. For my sanity's sake, I had to make a few changes to give myself some breathing room. I put all my "jobs" on the table and chose to continue working on the ones that I really love. I apologize to everyone who was depending on me to collaborate on different projects but I can't be more focused on what you've got cooking up, while my personal endeavors get stale. Try to understand.... I'm burning no bridges, just being real with myself!

& with that, back to our regular scheduled program!


Ms. MusiQ reps DFL, WolF JMcFarlane & RMe..... Let's get it!!

New Videos....

It's been a while since I did one post full of new music videos.... I'm sure you realize it's because most of the videos nowadays aren't worth mentioning much less blogged about. Moving along.... Here are some bangers for you!


Maxwell - Fistful Of Tears



Toni Braxton - Hands Tied



Melanie Fiona - Ay Yo



K. Michelle - Fallin



Ms. MusiQ makes me sooooooooooo happy!!

Why being a groupie always backfires....

So, I originally said I wasn't even going to touch this subject because I didn't want to give any energy to this chick's name.... but after seeing this HILARIOUS video from a guy who dissected one of this bird's videos, I decided to say my piece and be done with it. Here we go....
..................................

The first time I saw the name 'Kat Stacks', it kept popping up all over my Twitter feed. I wish to gawd I minded my business and never clicked the link to her triflin' ass video on World Star Hip Hop but sadly, I did. I lasted about a minute and some odd seconds before my ears started to bleed!!

Besides her annoying, high pitched, nasally, GAWD-AWFUL voice and her stank ass demeanor in the video, who really wants to hear her dumb ass sit infront of a computer and tell stories about the rappers that she beat off and now wants to expose? Contrary to what some might think, I DON'T! Seriously, Superhead already decided to disgrace herself and claim "the whore of the century" position, so really.... What the hell are YOU trying to do chick? Oh & another thing.... Haven't you rappers learned anything since Superhead came out? ARGH!

Moving along, after I turned off that sad ass video, I promised myself I'd ignore everything that had to do with this bean-head.... That was, until I was blog surfing and come across this video of dude ripping her first "tell all" video to shreds!! Hil-ar-ity! Please.... Watch it for yourselves!!


TheFuryTV


Some key points he left out:

1. Not only is she doing the world a disservice with this book deal and lying through her damn teeth about her movie deal, SHE CAN'T EVEN SPEAK PROPERLY!! Forget the spelling for a moment.... Her illiterate ass mumbled through half this damn video!

2. Did anyone notice that she was reading off something throughout her video? & she couldn't even read want she wrote properly either! Like honestly.... That's like when a rapper "freestyles" a written verse.... WE DON'T BELIEVE YOU!

3. You have a son! Although I know nothing about your mothering skills, I guarantee that little boy will NOT appreciate the fact that you're so happy & eager to get infront of a camera & tell the world that you slammed the entire Young Money Crew, Nelly and Bow Wow.... & those are only the names I got from this video! Do you smoke Meth for breakfast?


Ms. MusiQ: Here's a tip mama.... Run eastbound in the oncoming westbound lane on the highway. We will all appreciate it, thanks!

#fail

Come on Dream!! You gave me some GREAT hits and forced me to be a fan..... & then, you give me this sh*t?? I should back-hand you!

The Dream - Love King



Ms. MusiQ is annoyed.... *Get your video quality (back) up!*

**shouts out to his girls Tameka & Fatima though... [inside joke, lol!]**

Here's what I need you to do:

1. Please *click this link* to go straight to the contestant page for Black J!

2. Scroll down to the voting hearts and click on the last heart to your right and enter that vote!

Easy... Simple... Appreciated!!

Ms. MusiQ & Black J thank you all in advance!

Janet and MJ, 17 yrs ago....

This video made me a little teary eyed...

Janet Jackson [with Tyler Perry] on Oprah


Ms. MusiQ: All Michael Jackson everything.

Braaaaaannndy!

I keep forgetting how TIGHT her vocals are!
Here's her acapella performance of Etta James' "At Last"..... Bathroom acoustics make it so intense!

At Last



Ms. MusiQ: This is my sh*t!

Phatfffat's 1st video!

She's come a long way from YouTube.... After getting signed to the So So Def family, she finally drops her first video! Congrats Dondria.


Dondria - You're The One



Ms. MusiQ: This isn't my favorite track but her vocals are mad smooth... Dope & fresh approved!

I'm confused...

Why are these big selling, multi-talented musicians putting out sub-par to SH*TTY music and $5.00 videos all of a sudden??

This sh*t is getting ridiculous! I don't know what R. Kelly is trying to do with his life right now but I'm gonna need him to stop letting his kids direct these garbage ass videos.....


R. Kelly - Echo


R. Kelly - Be My #2


"Be my #2.... but you'll never be my #1." <---- Shame on you for writing this sh*t! Ms. MusiQ: I'm irritated right now....

Fellow Twihards Rejoice!!

I found a REAL trailer to the third installment of the Twilight franchise!!! Indulge!

Eclipse Trailer


Ms. MusiQ: June 30th isn't coming fast enough!

Ahhhh... Common...

This new movie looks LIVE!

Just Wright (Starring Common, Dwayne Wade, Queen Latifah & More) [Movie Trailer]


Ms. MusiQ wants Common in her bed.... ASAP!

"& the most pointless video award goes to....."

I'M ANGRY & I NEED TO START DOING VIDEO TREATMENTS ASAP!!!

What the eff is all ah dis????

Lady Gaga [Feat. Beyonce] - Telephone


Ms. MusiQ: I'm done.

"No ma'am Ms. Pam!"

Hahahaaa! I love me some Qaadir aka Timaya.... He has soooooo many quotable lines, it's ridiculous!!

*Warning: Video contains A LOT of swearing*


You're Doing A Bit Much For Me



LMAO, oh man... Where do I begin??

"& she made some type of rancid ass statement...."

"Stay the f*ck in your lane, because if you come in my lane, you're liable to get run the f*ck over!"

"At this point you are reaching, for the stars, and f*ckin' beyond b*tch and you are NOT Buzz Lightyear girl..."

"Right then and there, I had a muthaf*ckin' Twix, need a muthaf*ckin' moment, moment on that ass girl! Because girl, in this recession, don't play with nobody's money Ms. b*tch...." [<-- Bahahaaha... That's Twix moment thing is my sh*t!!]

"I think you misread the situation and I think you misinterpreted the situation girl. Let me just re-introduce myself ok? My name is Qaadir Howard and I'm NOT Captain Save-A-Hoe!"

"B*tch I don't even too much know you nor do I too much care for you. So I'm definitely not going to get into an altercation on your behalf girl...."

"Ok see, you know what... you're doing the f*ckin' most...."

"You're writing a girl a cheque for, you know, $100,000.00 when you got $10 in your account Ms. Girl. Excuse me?? Girl, OVERDRAFT FEE.... HELLO!!"


Ms. MusiQ: *Dying* This dude is HILARIOUS!!

The Adventures of Everything..... "Art Attack on a Track"

The boys are at it again, lol!!

O'Sound SNAPPED with the "ghetto auto-tune"... Too funny!


Art Attack on a Track


Ms. MusiQ: I have such creative friends.... LIVE!!

So shit!!

Someone tell me what the hell this is!!!?
Acting like Nivea and Lil Wayne have never made REAL music videos.... SMDH!!!!


Nivea [w/ Lil Wayne Cameo]


Ms. MusiQ: Ok, I'm done.

Ms. MusiQ... Still learning!

"Love. & Nothingless...."

I love me some Brendan Phillips.

Dope recognizes dope!! <3 height="300" width="400">

Nothingness/Love from Brendan Philip on Vimeo.

Ms. MusiQ: "Weeeee.... Sat & just made eyes..."

"You're everything to me!"

I love this track!! This is the new single off Monica's new album, Still Standing.

Congrats on the comeback lady :D

Monica - Everything To Me



Ms. MusiQ: She went IN!

Get Familiar: O' Sound

I've been a fan of this dude's voice long before I ever met him and ever since we've become acquainted, it's only been #LOVE!! Not only do we have a good amount of random friends in common (Jennifer, what up? LOL) but, we also discovered that we're actually related through marriage :D. Random right? Yeah but, it's cool with me!!

I watched this video like 5 times yesterday... I see you cuzzo!!


Words to Speak - O'Sound (Instrumental by Klassic)



Ms. MusiQ screams out loud: "GET FAMILIAR!!!!!"

Oh Nivea....

Forget the over-done hairstyles, lames wardrobe styling and weird off-screen antics, Nivea is SAAANNNGGG her butt off! I don't know who this Rasheeda girl is (or why she paid her stylist to dress her like THIS....) but it was a GOOD LOOK putting Nivea on this track!!


Rasheeda & Nivea - Say Something Remix


Ms. MusiQ loves dope voices. PERIOD.

Cute!

I like LeToya Luckett... Always have. & she won my vote with this video by having the sexiness that is Keston Karter star in it as her love interest!!

That is one FFFIIIIIINNNNNEEEEE man! Owwww!

Letoya Luckett - Good To Me



Ms. MusiQ thinks they should date and make pretty babies! LOL.

What.... Is... Alla... Dis????

Sooooo... After Nokio went too far overboard in the metro-sexual department, 2 members were replaced with another new person and Sisqo embarrassed the entire world by wearing that RIDICULOUS Borat man-kini thing, Dru Hill has made another come back...... Ummm, why?

I peeped this video on WSHH and of course, I cringed the whole way through it! Jazz's voice isn't as smooth as it use to be, Nokio's hair & wardrobe stylists need they ass beat and Sisqo sounds like he drank an extra shot (or three) of JD's before getting in the booth! Oh and new guy... who are you again??

PS. Boybanders who drop off the face of the earth and come back years later in their "new and improved" MANband form need to STOP DOING CHOREOGRAPHY!!! Smh.... #c'monson!


Dru Hill - Love M.D.


Ms. MusiQ is in migraine mode.

We Are The World remake....

*Sigh*
In the spirit of MJ and for the good of Haiti, I will keep all comments about what is angering me about the new version of this video/song to myself!

I appreciated seeing and hearing some of my favortie artists, like (our Canadian natives) Melanie Fiona and Celine Dion, Jennifer Hudson, Josh Grobin, Mary J. Blige, Pink, Bebe Winans, Toni Braxton, Gladys Knight, Anthony Hamilton, India.Arie, Mary Mary, etc.... Omg, there were so many great performers and singers on this rendition....

And then, there was A LOT of pointlessness as well.
The rap section?? Ummm, as my homie @TikaSimone would say, "I can't handle the pressure!"

Various Artists - We Are The World (2.0)


Your thoughts??

Ms. MusiQ is sooooo happy that they kept MJ's original performance in it, as well as had a cameo if Janet with him!! #L-O-V-E

RIP: Alexander McQueen

I had a few reservations about doing this post because honestly, and from the bottom of my heart, I cannot fathom why someone would go and take their own life. I know everyone walks a different path and life can be unbearably stressful at times but.... to commit suicide?? Such an unnecessary cop-out, in my humble opinion, of course.

Having said that, I cannot deny the design genius of the late, Alexander McQueen. I will not sit here and speculate on what he went through in his life because I was not in his shoes.... I will, however, post up some of his dope designs.

I always give credit where it's due!

Ms. MusiQ... I wonder how my girl Lady Gaga is holding up?! :(

I love 88 Days part 2

I found some more performance videos from the rest of the 88 Days crew! Brendan Phillips, KJ, T. Ana Cole and Ayo Leilani KILLED it!


KJ - T Dot Oh Shit



T. Ana Cole [w/ O' Sound] - Send Me A Rainbow



Brendan Phillip - Purple Hearts Acapella & Nothingness.Love.



Ayo Leilani [w/ WolF J] - Love Shock


Ms. MusiQ loves DOPE & FRESH ppl!!!

I love 88 Days!!

If you guys don't know about my homies Wolf J & O' Sound, then you my friends, are sleeping under rocks!!

88 Days (a collection of DOPE Toronto artists) had a successful Haiti benefit show last night @ The Ossington. I can't explain to you guys how GREAT this party was!! The vibe, the love, the talent.... Amazing!

Peep this video of my boys performing, "My Heart's for Sale"... Love it!


Ms. MusiQ loves GOOD music!

BET Honors: Performances

Yeeesssss!! I found two more videos from the BET Honors show!! Thank you YouTube!!

MJB:



Jazmine Sullivan "Rock Steady" and Patti Labelle "If Only You Knew"


Ms. MusiQ... Music makes my LIFE!

Shame on me!

I am completely ashamed to admit that before last night, I've never heard of Kim Burrell :(

I caught the end of the BET Honors 2010 and she came out to sing a tribute to Whitney Houston. All I know is, I don't remember breathing during her set!!

Kim Burrell - I Believe in You and Me



And my girl Mrs. Hudson had to shut it down for Whitney too!

Jennifer Hudson - I Will Always Love You


Ms. MusiQ is awake now!
