  • Friday Throwback – Iesha

    Since I’ve posted throwbacks of New Edition, Boyz II Men, and Bell Biv Devoe, I figured I should just finish out the East Coast Family, by posting a throwback from Another Bad Creation. Another Bad Creation was a kid rap group put together by Michael Bivins and they were only on the music scene for a short time. They did try to do more than one album, but if you mention Another Bad Creation (ABC for those in the know), fans remember two songs. Here’s one of them.

    • Check out the one dude with the Kid high top fade.
    • Not sure about a bunch of kids doing BBD dance choreography with the pelvic thrusts.
    • I wonder who could dance better between ABC and Boyz II Men? If I had to bet, it’d be on ABC.
    • Iesha is the girl that I never had, but I want to get to know her better.
    • You just knew Biv was going to be up in this one.
    • Were ABC really mental?
    • Why is Iesha like a head taller than all of those little dudes?
    • Chris, Mark, Red, Dave, Ro doesn’t flow off the tongue like Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, and Mike.
    • Nice little Dallas Austin cameo there. Where was Chili?

    I wonder what those cats look like nowadays. If you think about it, the littlest dude is probably in his mid twenties, and there rest of those cats are climbing up on thirty. And I wonder if they still holler at Iesha.

  • Those Hash Browns Just Make A Man Wanna Fight!!!

    Come on, Kid Rock. Or Bob Ritchie. Whatever you call yourself.

    You’re pushing 40. You’re a multi-millionaire.

    Why has the past month of your album set up (which probably would be doing just as fine without all the extraneous hullaballoo) seemed like a desperate attempt to live up to the “outlaw” status of your idols?

    First there was the altercation with Tommy Lee at the VMAs, and now you’re getting into altercations at Waffle Houses?

    Come on, dude. You can do better than that. I think. It remains to be seen whether you can actually make good music, though.

  • Just Another Country Tuesday…New Releases 10/23/07

    Her debut album is the biggest seller to come out of the American Idol camp. She won last year’s Grammy for Best New Artist. Hopefully, she gave Tony Romo some kicking lessons. She’s Carrie Underwood, and she has a new album in stores today called Carnival Ride. Considering the success of Carrie’s debut CD (over 6 million sold, yada yada yada), I would assume this is something of a slam dunk, no?

    Check out her website: http://www.carrieunderwoodofficial.com/

    You can also catch the video for her new single “So Small” here…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUtFEKhtB30

    In other ex-idol news, remember Bo Bice? His new album, See The Light also comes out today. But there’s a catch, folks!! Bice’s new album is (somewhat fittingly) available in Wal-Mart stores. That’s the same gambit that The Eagles will be running with their upcoming release. Weird. Sorry for you Northeast folks (especially those of us in NY and NJ) who don’t have Wal-Marts in the area.

    No other superstar acts have records in stores today-although there are a few mid-level names making waves (Coheed and Cambria, System of a Down’s Serj Tankian, a very interesting sounding duet album from Robert Plant and Alison Krauss). Me? I’m just holding out for another seven days, when the trainwreck we all know as Britney Spears descends on us. Can you feel the anticipation?
