Morning Soul: Sitting In My Room With My Smoking Jacket On

Goodie Mob and The Roots performed on Jimmy Fallon last week. It was extra funky. [OKP]It may be too early for bedroom eyes, Phonte, but it's all good. [FYBM]We're late on this K-Swiss ad that features the ever-smooth Jose James....

Morning Soul: Ain't Nobody Humpin' Around

Why, yes. All Black people do rap. Even when we're singing. [FF]Kanye West as Fred Sanford? Diddy as Conway Twitty? Yup. [DNJ]A Ghostface ghost story of course would involve little people and rock band KISS. [YT]R. Kelly's tribute song to...

Morning Soul: Join The Caravan of Love

Think you got what it takes to remix a Tortured Soul song? [TS] Trey Songz needs more people. I'm still not buying whatever he's selling. [SONYC]I'mma let you finish, but you really shouldn't hate Kanye West--in spite of himself. [SP]And...

Kanye's 'Fairytale' Is An Inside Story

The Noisettes + Kanye = 'Wild Young Heartbreaks'

The awesome that was The Grey Album aside, most mashup albums aren't very good. Kenny Rogers x The Chemical Brothers? Frank Sinatra x Gucci Mane? I'm exaggerating (I think), but my point is that what intrigues conceptually doesn't necessarily...
