Wrapping This Week's Soul Candy

 

• Eric Roberson Baracked the crowd at CJF.
• Chrissette Michele got down with the swirl.
• We wondered if Janet still has what it takes to move a fickle public.
• DJs called out JD for various crimes.
• We hit the mid-point of our Top 100 countdown.
• We got behind the groove with Hil St. Soul.

YOU ARE ALL THE SAME PERSON

"Kat", "Linda", "Lisa" and "Serena" all spammed the living daylights out of the recent Solange video post, by suggesting that Beyonce is a tramp. If we cared, we'd do some IP investigating to see the are any marked similarities. But for the sake of saying these are all the person, THESE ARE ALL THE SAME PERSON. We see right through you, sneakypants.

A Week of Side-Eyes

• Jon B. hopped on the digital train.

• Dru Hill's new single was all over the place.
• We asked you to tell us who's the dopest MC out right now.

FEEDBACK OF THE WEEK

Happiest Nappy on 'I Decided' That Solange's New Video Ain't So Bad:

The video is different and creative. The singing is fair to midland. I hope "they" don't over expose her as if she is the most talented thing on earth though. There are sooo many people who can out sing the Knowles' sisters...especially the young lady at my church named Shatavia. That gurl can sang.

Please have Shatavia's rep email her mp3 and some promo pics to soulbounceonline@gmail.com. Thanks!

FEEDBACK OF THE WEEK

stoneyisland on N*E*R*D 'Spazz' Out On New Track

Real talk is Pharrell kinda on the DL? I mean brotherman is on some androginous David Bowie type shit:) If nerd gets one more dude on this photo they could be a new age village people:)

Oh dear. We're not really sure how Pharrell comes across as DL, androgynous or on some "David Bowie type shit," seeing how he's only shirtless and not cheating on his wife with another man in the pic, or wearing eyeshadow. Also, there's only three people in the photo, and they happen to be members of the group. There are no extra fifth-mic n****s. We're not really sure if this comment has any real basis in logic or reality. Anyone care to clear this up? I'm thinking we were supposed to chuckle, at least.

FEEDBACK OF THE WEEK

Pharoah on The Prince vs. Michael Jackson podcast:

TRUE KNOWLEDGE RADIO are idiots if they think "Oh Sheila" was written or performed by Prince. It was performed by Ready For The World.

Umm, good catch. I'm certain they've maybe gotten a few terse emails about this? It amazes me how many people to this day still think that's a Prince song.
