There is no question that I am a huge fan of Will Smith, and I was too young to go to any of his concerts but this video says it all. He is just as good as he was when he was young, I loved it when he started singing the old school songs. Gabrielle Union is one lucky woman to have him freestyling at her birthday, it looks like it was a ton of fun. I still listen to Will Smith’s old school hits.
Putting a playlist together is sometimes a tedious task because of my stupid machine with iTunes on it. Luckily Spotify has relieved me of most of the headache that I face with iTunes but sometimes I still have to go back and put together a playlist for traveling or to update. This time around I did the research on another machine and just bought them on the iTunes machine. The songs to enjoy this weekend, if you have any other tracks I missed let me know.
I know that South Korean pop music is pretty crazy but this guy is hilarious. I love this video and I want to party with this guy!
A song to kick off your weekend.
I’m a fan of this song and Mike Tompkins just relooped the whole song using only his voice, now thats talent, the whole thing and I think he even merged the songs in a better way. Enjoy
There is no question that I am a big fan of the Sonos Music system, I have had mine since 2004 and it is still working perfectly. And their application just keeps getting better and better, especially their simplification of it did a fantastic job of making straight forward and simple to use. You know the people behind Sonos are audiophiles, they really do care about sound their first unit was an amplifier and they try to integrate with as many music systems as possible and by far it is the best music distribution system I have ever seen by far, and the quality of sound just speaks for itself. The one thing is that the Sonos Speakers aren’t built to handle deep bass, but the Sonos Sub is. This self-powered subwoofer connects effortlessly to your existing Sonos system, adding a healthy dose of low-end aptitude thanks to two force-canceling speakers that are positioned face-to-face to eliminate cabinet buzz and rattle. You can get it in a beautiful glossy black finish next month and a matte black model arriving in October.
Price: $600 – $700

I have always had issues with iTunes even though I still think that it is vital to my music choices when I’m listening to music on the go, and for last few months iTunes has been acting up a lot. Since making more and more playlists on Spotify I have slowly shifted my listening over to Spotify, I still use iTunes but even in the car I just stream my Spotify over the car’s Bluetooth Connection. I can stream Spotify through any type of Data connection and I don’t have to use a VPN, you only have use VPN when you sign up. Surprisingly the quality of the stream is really good, and it rarely cuts which is fantastic. Of course you have to have Premium Spotify to stream to your phone, and it works for both Android & iOS.
If you love music and your not on Spotify yet you are honestly missing out, this is what iTunes should be like. I’m making music on the fly, listening to it on my car, and I’m also paying for the premium services so I can even download straight to my Samsung Galaxy Nexus, HTC One X, iPad, and PC without any issues. I have it integrated into my Sonos system, literally the reasons to have it are endless.
And at last they have come up with the iPad App and its worth the wait, they really did a fantastic job of making it seamlessly work with the iPad. I love that they took the time to design it in a way that makes use of every square inch of screen real estate that you have. This app does a lot, but it doesn’t rub the extra features in your face. The design is fairly clean. Playlists can be grouped neatly into folders, In addition, a tap-and-hold feature bring up additional options such as the ability to add something to a playlist or star it, and a new search autofill feature lets you find artists by typing in the first few letters. You can hunt down songs, albums, and playlists from the same box. But one main note, to use this App you need a Premium account, to use Spotify for free you can use the Desktop App, but its really worth paying for the Premium Service.
‘SOMETHING FROM NOTHING: The Art of Rap’ is a feature length documentary about the runaway juggernaut that is Rap music. At the wheel of this unstoppable beast is the film’s director Ice-T, who takes us on a deeply personal journey interviewing the biggest names in the game and uncovering how this music of the street has grown to dominate the world.
I have been a fan of Hip Hop & Rap since I was a kid, I didn’t even know what it was, I just knew that I liked it and I liked somethings more then others. For some reason I can relate to this music documentary and I am fan of ICE T, I just like the guy’s personality, cool and smooth.
This is one of the songs that I have had on repeat and stuck in my head for a while now and I was surprised that Donald Glover is the artist behind since it isn’t the name he uses as an artist. Community’s Donald Glover is not only an hilarious actor, he is also a talented rapper who goes by the name Childish Gambino. Here is a video for one of his latest songs called “Hearbeat” and its a very cool video, and I have to say Glover has a really solid flow on the mic.
I’m loving this song and what I’m loving more is that Stanely from The Office is going all out in it, the last thing I would expect is to find him singing and dancing in a music video! Love it! Stanely The Manly! If you love The Office then this is going to be your new favorite song.
