in spirit yes…in physical presence…no

Well there is a contingent of people who think 2pac is still alive in physical form; like he faked his death, and has been hiding out all these years.

I feel bad for Chris Brown though. He wins a Grammy and people are STILL on his nuts about hitting Rihanna. Get over it people, it was 3 years ago.

smh…are you serious?!

Dead serious…he was trending big time on Twitter with people pissed that the Grammy’s would allow him to perform especially women. Jesus were these chicks pissed. That man can’t catch a break for shit.

He didn’t actually “hit her” he hit her a few times. Blacked her eye, busted her lip. Actually let me just find a pic:

He choked her after punching her in the face enough to do that ^^^^^ then he kicked her out the car and made her walk home, where he said he was going to kick her ass again.

Dude where have you been? Chris Brown is lucky as shit to have a career, he’s going have to deal with that backlash for the rest of his life. Not to mention all he got was a few community service hours.

Judging by rihannas public persona throughout the years since this went down, I find it hard to believe that he was just on some ike turner shit.

Well the police report (TMZ is up on it) said they got into it about some text messages Rihanna saw Chris romantically chatting with a woman in his entourage about.

Regardless, he went ham on her. And that’s justifying him hitting her to begin with, he obviously hit her more than a few times. Its career suicide to say the least, he almost ended up like Ike Turner. But America loves a good comeback.

Speaking of comebacks…Christina Milian is signed to Young Money. Yes. I was always rooting for her so this is fitting.

c milli is sexy as hell, yo they need to fix the pm system, it will not load.

The Whitney thread got me thinking…who are IYO the best vocal/r&b voices we have?

After much in depth [youtube] research, I have in my opinion come to the conclusion that Jennifer Hudson or Kelly Price are the heirs to Whitney’s throne. Not so much achievement-wise, but moreso in longevity and vocal ability. I have criteria but I guess it all just depends on your personal style perhaps?

At any rate I think Jennifer Hudson has the LEAST versatile voice, but the strongest and most soulful voice and will be here for a while if not indefinitely. If I had to make a top 5 however I would probably say:

  1. Jennifer Hudson
  2. Faith Evans
  3. Monica
  4. Brandy

I left 5 blank. Its B*****e, I just didnt feel like typing her name. Such a great voice but her music outside of the first album and a FEW songs here are there, complete and utter shit.

I’m on the fence about Jill Scott, Fantasia, Letoya Luckett and Mary J Blige…is it just me or they only deliver sometimes

Monica, Brandy, and Faith have no range. I will give you Jhud. Your speaking strongest and soulful correct…an sayin heirs to whitneys… no sir. Jhud will take that with no challenges. That was her idol… an Jhud is really honing in her in vocal CONTROL in which a lot of singers lack.

As far as what we have… very slim pickings cause the genre of R&B soul has wasted away… sadly it takes someone from over seas to remind the genre of its roots (adele… shout outs to rick rubin AGAIN)…

Faith aint got range?

Faith >>> Mary J

Mary has no range at all. Board line screams on majority of her tracks.

Only people that should be mentioned:

J Hudson
J Scott

That’s it. Those two have power behind their voices, the others don’t. I’d actually give Jill Scott a notch above Hudson cause her range is CRAZY! She can hit a C6 and C7 (has on her albums).

An example of pure voice…only instruments are a piano and a violen
