Throwback Thursday: Pass The Courvoisier

Today's second Throwback Thursday track has to be Busta Rhymes' 'Pass The Courvoisier Part II' featuring Diddy and Pharrell Williams.

One because it was on the airwaves today, two because the production courtesy of The Neptunes is truly BADASS!!; and three because it really takes it back to that point in the nougties when R&B was still good.

Not to say that it isn't good anymore at all, but it definitely isn't the same - the realness and vibe to music that used to be there has just vanished. Also it brings back those memories when music videos had those little skits, this particular one with a cameo appearance from chat host Mo'Nique who bads up Busta !! You can't help but chuckle.

So cheers to old times, good music and the fact that tomorrow is the start of the freekin' weekend.

Enjoy :)

GOT TO LOVE THIS !!

Throwback Thursday: Wonderful - Ja Rule

Today I've decided to drop two Throwback Thursday tracks, a present from me to you for my absence. LUCKY YOU !! The first has to be 'Wonderful' from Ja Rule back in 2003 featuring Ashanti and R. Kelly. The track just popped up in my head this week, and also there's been a comeback track from Ja Rule featuring Ashanti that has been circulating the airwaves and it took me back to this track - though it isn't half as good. Rekindle yourselves with this track and check back at 5pm, I'll be taking the next track a little further back...

WONDERFUL !!

Cheryl Cole Cut

Cheryl Cut From US X Factor

Seems like Cheryl Cole is a pretty face soon to be forgotten in the US despite the reports of her to being scooped up for film roles. According to TMZ, there has been claims of the UK X Factor judge gone stateside being 'homesick' and that there has also been "a lack in chemistry" with new associate Paula Abdul. (WHAT, OVER CLOTHES?) Over the last few months there was much speculation if Cheryl was even going to make the judging panel being a new face with the addition of her Geordie accent. (Read on...)

Rihanna: California King Bed (Video)

FINALLY !! Rihanna has blessed us with a visual for the sixth single 'California King Bed' from her album Loud. The video is perfect for the track thanks to the creative brilliance of Anthony Mandler - who also directed 'Only Girl In The World'. The videos are pretty similar especially in tint - the natural rosey colours that seem to be the theme of her album. Some have even describe it as the "same" as 'Only Girl' only with the addition of the hot male model. In the video we see a sensual rather than the uber sexified side to RiRi - and she is looking BEAUTIFUL in the clip. The set was chosen well and shots are brilliant. Check it out, and enjoy...

WONDERFUL VISUAL !!

Music Monday: Better With The Lights Off

New Music: New Boyz ft. Chris Brown

To kick off your Monday afternoon here's something nice and fresh from the 'jerkin' New Boyz, Legacy and ~~sexy~~ Ben J. Coming off their upcoming album, Too Cool To Care the track entitled 'Better With The Lights Off' featuring Chris Brown, has a refreshing electro hop sound. The track produced by The Cataracs - the duo responsible for the production of the club banger 'Like A G6' from the Far East Movement and also Snoop Dogg's track 'Wet'; won't be everyones cup of tea, but it's a definite grower as it's very catchy, and a potential club track. WHAT I'M REALLY SAYING...In terms of being a grower type track, it has room to spread its wings and hopefully spread that of the New Boyz as they're more of a Internet sensation over here in the UK - thanks to their jerkin' !! Also time is of the essence for this track and the rest of their hip hop/rap/electro pop album - summer is almost here !! Check out the track and tell me what you think. Enjoy :)

CERTIFIED GROWER !!

Google Doodle: Mr Men & Little Miss Special

Google Celebrates Roger Hargreaves

Now recently Google has really been on top of their 'doodle' game. The famous search engine likes to spoil us once in a while with lovely sometimes interactive 'google doodles' to inform us about a celebrated/famous person or things anniversary of some sort. Whether it is the anniversary of an invention, a persons would-be birthday if they were still breathing - that sort of thing. TO THE POINT... today's special is celebrating the would-be 76th birthday of Roger Hargreaves - the creator of Mr Men and Little Miss. WHO CARES..? For many his funny little cartoon characters that first came about in the 70s are a great part of many people's childhoods - including my own. His illustrations have been apart of popular culture for over 25 years - so that's a whole lot of people's childhoods !! Google has commiserated his life by 16 doodles where some of the characters including Mr Happy and Little Miss Sunshine (above). To see all 16 (well that's how many I found) you have to keep refreshing the Google homepage. If you seriously can't be asked to do that check the other 14 after the jump !!

TOTAL BRILLIANCE !!

I've Been MIA, But I'm Back..

Sorry I Was Missing In Action...

HUGE. MASSIVE & FULL... apologies that I've been MIA. I mean I've posted a couple things, but two posts in the space of two months when so much has happened is bang out of order right..? I've neglected you my readers, and my website. NOW... the guilt is out the good news is that I'm back. I've missed blogging - I've still been tweeting away and using my Tumblr but that's all mobile stuff. As for the stories that should have been posted such as the late great Nate Dogg's death (bless his soul), comebacks and new videos - they will be posted and will be found in the archives for March and April. ANYWAY... as for what I said back in January with the small changes that were supposed to be coming; don't worry those words didn't go in vain, more intriguing post will be on their way - so look out for that.

Remember you can follow me on Twitter @JaesJournal and also click 'like' on the official Facebook page - you won't miss a post with the Facebook updates.

Thanks to those who have been checking back, molto apprezzato.

Ja'e ♥
