Slow dancing to Robin Thicke - Lost Without You & Superman. Videos included

July 12th 2007 00:08

Gee I wish I had been sent a copy of this album to review last year. I've only heard two songs off Thicke's current album, The Evolution of Robin Thicke and I'm madly in love with both of them (thanks to Mr George who put me onto 'Superman' and reminded me of 'Lost Without You'). I love his clean, suave look like Pharrell lent him some clothes. A modern day Casanova with a smoother falsetto than Justin Timberlake, Thicke has re-won my heart and libido over. I didn't mind his scraggly look, running around sweaty on his bike in his first clip, his cheeky lyrics and cute smile did it for me.

These tracks are smooth and sweet, great for when you're feeling lovey-dovey or wanting to get in the mood. Put on as make-out background music and start by slow dancing.

Mmm...

Scraggly but still mmm

Lost Without You Music Video:

Listen to Superman:

Lost Without You Lyrics:

I’m lost without u
Can’t help myself
How does it feel
To know that I love u baby

I’m lost without u

How does it feel
To know that I love u baby

Tell me how u love me more
And how u think I’m sexy baby
That u don’t want nobody else
U don’t want this guy u don’t want that guy u wanna
Touch yourself when u see me
Tell me how u love my body
And how I make u feel baby

U wanna roll with me u wanna hold with me
U wanna stay warm and get out of the cold with me
I just love 2 hear u say it
It makes a man feel good baby
Tell me u depend on me
I need To hear it

To know that I love u baby

Baby you’re the perfect weight
Treat me like my birthday

Tell me u don’t want me To stop
Tell me it would break your heart

That u love me and all my dirty
U wanna roll with me u wanna hold with me
U wanna make fires and get Norwegian wood with me
I just love To hear u say it
It makes a man feel good baby

I’m lost without u

Superman Lyrics:

[Verse 1:]
I'm A Superman Thanks To Lois Lane
Kissed Away My Problems When I Went Insane
Fished Me From The Bottom When I Lost My Name
Gave Me Something I Could Live For (Something I Could Live For)
And Everybody Wonders What's The Change
They Don't Recognize Me Cause I Got So Much To Say
And I Never Thought That Anyone Could Love Someone
So Much That They Give Up On Everything

[Chorus:]
I Will Be There To Take Care Of You
I Will Be There When You Cry Babe
I Will Be There When You Need Someone To Tell You
That You're Beautiful Baby

I Will Be There When You Need Someone To Run With
I Will Be There When You Need Someone To Dance With
I'm Your Lover When The Skies Turn Grey
Everyday Til Its Beautiful Baby

Oh
Til Its Beautiful
Til Its Beau-Ooh Ooh Baby
Til Its Beautiful Baby

[Verse 2:]
I'm A Butterfly When I'm In Your Hands
You Can Turn The Pavement Into White Sand
You Can Make A Moment A Memory In A Glance
And I Cant Believe Anyone Else
And Everybody's Talking
But You Always Keep Shouting
You Never Stop Cursing Yea Babe
And I Never Thought That Anyone Could Love Someone
So Much That They Give Up On Everything

[Chorus:]
I Will Be There To Take Care Of You
I Will Be There When You Cry Babe
I Will Be There When You Need Someone To Tell You
That You're Beautiful Baby

I Will Be There When You Need Someone To Run With
I Will Be There When You Need Someone To Dance With
I'm Your Lover When The Skies Turn Grey
Everyday Til Its Beautiful Baby

I'm Your Superman Baby
Yea
Your Superman Baby
Oooh

Til It's Beautiful
Til It's Beautiful
Til Its Beautiful Baby
Your Superman Babe
Til It's Beautiful
Til Its Beau-Ooh Ooh Baby
Til Its Beautiful Baby

[Verse 3:]
There's A Million People Underneath The Sun
That Can Find A Million More And Never Find The One
There's A Girl Who Did This And A Socialite
Was On Magazines And Was The Shy Type Baby
But I'm A Superman Thanks To Lois Lane
Fished Me From The Bottom When I Lost My Name
And I Never Thought Anyone Could Ever Mean So Much So Much

[Chorus:]
I Will Be There To Take Care Of You
I Will Be There When You Cry Babe
I Will Be There When You Need Someone To Tell You
That You're Beautiful Baby

I Will Be There When You Need Someone To Run With
I Will Be There When You Need Someone To Dance With
I'm Your Lover When The Skies Turn Grey
Everyday Til Its Beautiful Baby

Til It's Beautiful
Til It's Beautiful
Til Its Beautiful Baby
Your Superman Babe
Til It's Beautiful
Til It's Beautiful
Til Its Beautiful Baby

Nas - Can't Forget About You - Video

July 6th 2007 05:24

Nas

I've been digging this track for a while. From the rich lyrics dripping with hints of Hip Hop history to the catchy soulful chorus sung by Chrisette Michele that samples Nat King Cole's "Unforgettable" classic in this Will.I.Am produced track, Nas' "Can't Forget About You" is reminiscent of the good old days and has been promoted to one of my main ringtones.

Peep the vid:

Lyrics:

[Nas- Verse One]

There comes a day in your life
When you want to kick back
Straw hat on the porch
When you old perhaps
Want to gather your thoughts
Have a cold one, Brag
To your grand kids on how life is golden
So I’ma light a cigar in the corridor of the crib
Pictures on the wall of all the things that I did
All the money and fame, 8 by 10’s
Of the whole rap pack inside of a big frame
Colliding with big names that could’ve made you career stop
All that, and your man is still here, and I’m still hot
Wow, I need a moment ya’ll, See I almost felt a tear drop

When was the last time you heard real anthem?
Nas, the millionaire, the mansion
When was the last time you heard your boy Nas rhyme?
Never on schedule, but always on time.

[Chorus- Chrisette Michele]
These streets hold my deepest days
This hood taught me golden ways
Made me (truly this is what made me)
Break me (not a things gonna break me)
These streets hold my deepest days
This hood taught me golden ways
Made me (truly this is what made me)
Break me (not a things gonna break me)
Oh, I’m that history, I’m that block
I’m that lifestyle, I’m that that spot
I’m that kid by the number spot
That’s my past that made me hot
Here’s my lifelong anthem
Can’t forget about you (Can’t forget about you)

[Verse Two]

Can’t forget about the old school
Bam, Cas, Mel lie Mel flash,
Rocks steady spinning on they back
Can’t forget when the first rap Grammy when to Jazzy
Fresh Prince, Fat Boys broke up,
Rap hasnt been the same since
So irregular, how it mess you up when Mr. T became a wrestler
Can’t forget about Jordan’s retirement
The shot Robert Horry hit to win the game in the finals kid
Some things are forever, some things are not
It’s the things we remember that gave the world shock
They stay in a place in your mind so snug
Like who the person was with whom you first made love

When was the last time you heard real anthem?
Nas, the millionaire, the mansion
When was the last time you heard your boy Nas rhyme?
Never on schedule, but always on time.

[Chorus]

These streets hold my deepest days
This hood taught me golden ways
Made me (truly this is what made me)
Break me (not a things gonna break me)
These streets hold my deepest days
This hood taught me golden ways
Made me (truly this is what made me)
Break me (not a things gonna break me)
Oh, I’m that history, I’m that block
I’m that lifestyle, I’m that spot
I’m that kid by the number spot
That’s my past that made me hot
Here’s my lifelong anthem
Can’t forget about you (Can’t forget about you)

[Verse Three]

Unforgettable, UnSubmittable I go by N now, just one syllable
It’s the N cuz' the game tied is the same vibe
Good times had right after James died
That’s why the gangsta rhymers ain’t inspired
Heinous crimes help records sells more than creative lines
And I don’t want to keep bringing up the greater times
But I’m dreamer nostalgic with the state of mind
The past the past, enough of it aight then
Nothing gives me chills like Douglas and Tyson
Or Mike when his talk was live
Or when he first did the moon walk on Motown's 25

When was the last time you heard real anthem?
Nas, the millionaire, the mansion
When was the last time you heard your boy Nas rhyme?
Never on schedule, but always on time.

These streets hold my deepest days
This hood taught me golden ways
Made me (truly this is what made me)
Break me (not a things gonna break me)
These streets hold my deepest days
This hood taught me golden ways
Made me (truly this is what made me)
Break me (not a things gonna break me)

That's why darling it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I'm unforgettable too

Bad Boy Bobby Brown Tours Down Under!

July 4th 2007 03:15

bobby brown tour australia sydney melbourne perth

The New Edition rebel formerly known as Mr Whitney Houston is touring Australia in a few weeks time. This guy is so bad, even Osama wanted to put a hit on him - but that's because Osama was deeply infatuated with his ex-wife Houston, as published last September in Harper's Magazine by Kola Boof, one of Osama's former sex-slaves.

He made headlines a few months ago for threatening British TV Host Jamie Campbell after Campbell joked about having gay sex with the artist. Brown was getting fired up:

"You said to me, I haven't even tried any sex moves on you yet. Yet? What the f*** you mean, 'yet'? I'm a grown-ass man. Yet? On live TV I will f*** you up. Trust."

I wonder if Brown will make headlines in Australia in a similar Xzibit fashion (see post HERE).

Teeny boppers will recognise "My Prerogative" and not like it as much as the cover version, while club hoppers will be more familiar with "Thug Lovin'"; the new jack fans, however will be hanging for "Every Little Step" and the New Edition tribute.

New Edition: Those were the days. Look at those suits!

He's been called "King of Stage", "Brown Bomber," and “The Bad Boy of RnB”, amongst other illustrious monikers. However, by any title, singer, songwriter, producer and performer Bobby Brown is a certified superstar. Since his solo debut in 1985, Bobby has earned himself a legion of fans internationally, selling millions of records globally in the process.

Now for the first time in over ten years, Bobby Brown returns to blow Australian audiences away with a series of live and intimate showcases with his band.

Thanks to Xposed Media, Hiphop.org.au readers can WIN A DOUBLE PASS to see Bad Boy Brown when he hits up Sydney on Friday, July 20th. Check the Competitions forum for more details.

TOUR DATES & TICKET DETAILS

Thursday July 19th – MELBOURNE, Metro Club Tickets from Ticketek

Friday July 20th – SYDNEY, Enmore Theatre Tickets from Ticketek

Saturday July 21st – BRISBANE, Mercury Tickets from Ticketek

Sunday July 22nd – PERTH, Metro City Tickets from Bocs Ticketing & Kali Clothing (Carousel and Whitfords)

Get jealous and fight about That Girl? Marques Houston explains

March 28th 2007 02:32

Girls, you know when you catch your man checking out some girl, you give them a dirty look, slap their arm and cross yours, start walking away and refusing to talk to them for the rest of the day? Do you scold them for it, then start blaming them for things they'll do in the future like cheat on you and bring up a whole lotta trust issues? All from one look?

We can't help get jealous, and guys can't help but look. My boyfriend went so far as to accidentally say "mmm" while checking out another girl, while I was standing right next to him. Of course I got mad and sulked for days after. He did the whole reassuring thing, hugging me when I tried to fight him, then told me I should listen to this Marques Houston track to explain his side of things.

I rolled my eyes and let him play the track. It started off with Marques saying:

Yo, can I talk to you for a minute?
Look... All I did was look!
Psscchh why you trippin'?

The rest... I'll let you see for yourself. You can only hope your man is as faithful as Marques claims he is (in the video and in reality). The dancing's pretty crazy at the end.
