Drake-Nicki-Minaj-Lil-Wayne

1. Truffle Butter – Nicki Minaj feat. Drake & Lil Wayne

こりゃ かっこいい！アップテンポの Hip Hop。ビートがとにかくキレが良い。まず Drake- Nicki- Lil Wayneとマイクがリレーされていくんだけど、テンポが良くってサーッと流れて行く感じです。クラブではまだこの曲聞いたことない人いっぱいだと思うんだけど、みんな初めて聞いてもノリでバッチリ踊っているって感じでした。こう言うHip Hop がもっと出て欲しいです！

Here’s Nicki Minaj’s wonderful collaboration with Lil Wayne and Drake entitled “Truffle Butter.” The mic was passed from Drake, Micki and Lil Wayne in a swift and perfect tempo. You would love the vibe for the first listen.

2. U Guessed It – OG Maco

これクラブで盛り上がります。かなりスローなHip Hopなんですが、クラブでは 今大ヒット中の O.T. Genasis の CoCoなんかとつなげてかかってます。ピアノのシンプルなサンプルのトラック。お兄さん達の支持が大きい曲です。

A track with simple piano sample “U Guessed It” is a nice and slow Hip Hop song. It is very slow but it flows smoothly with songs like “CoCo” by O.T. Genasis.

3. Ayo – Chris Brown f/ Tyga

ちょっぴり DJ Mustardぽいトラックの爽やか系R&B。クリス・ブラウンはやっぱりウケるので、これもきっとヒット曲になりそう。Rihannaちゃんを殴った事件からめっきり露出が少なくなったけど、クラブでは彼の曲がやはり人気強いです。Loyalも今まだ人気衰える事なく大盛り上がりです。日本だとあんな事件を起こしたらきっと芸能界ほされるんだろうなぁ。でもいい曲をもっと作っていって欲しいです。

Produced by Nic Nac (who did “Loyal”), the club-friendly R&B song by Chris Brown somewhat sounds like DJ Mustard. CB is still popular and going strong even though after what happened with Rihanna. If that happened in Japan he will never be able to win back the public. Please Chris, keep making great songs!!

RaeSremmurd_14

Знаменитый японский женщин-ди-джеем в Нью-Йорке

1- Throw Sum Mo – Rae Sremmurd

No Flex Zone でNickiとコラボしましたが、これもかなりノリがいいし、覚えやすいフックで、絶対急上昇間違いなしです。No Flex, No Type と、彗星のごとく登場してからヒット飛ばしまくり。かなり若いミシシッピー出身の兄弟ラッパー、まだ20歳と10代……..、才能あるし、若くしてメジャー・デビュー、とてもラッキーだと思います。

With previous bangers “No Flex Zone” and “No Type” ruling clubs and radios around the nation, young duo from Mississippi Rae Sremmurd dropped their third single featuring Nicki Minaj and Young Thug. Very talented 20 year-old Swae Lee and his younger brother Slim Jimmy had a lucky start.

2-Feeling Myself – Nicki Minaj feat. Beyoncé

7-1-1がクラブで黒人のお姉さんたち、ゲイのおねぇたちの間で大ブレイク中。この曲はニッキがメインなのでビヨンセの出番はちょっと少ないですが、711につなげてかけられそう。

　 Beyonce’s “711” is on fire among sisters and female wanna-be O-nay people. Her new song “Feeling Myself” featuring Nicki Minaj will become a new girl power anthem for sure. I could throw “Feeling Myself” after “711” that makes a smooth transition. Yeah, I love that.

3- Feel Right – Mark Ronson feat. Mystikal

 

前回紹介したブルーノ・マーズとの「アップタウン・ファンク」もかっこいいですが、ミスティカルとのこの曲、これまたFunkでかっこいい。ミスティカルなんてかなりご無沙汰な感じの名前ですが、ファンク・ビートにのると、なんと現代版ジェームス・ブラウンに聞こえますよ！びっくりです。必聴！

Follow up to his funky joint “Uptown Fun” featuring Bruno Mars, Mark Ronson dropped another funk classics lending vocals by Mystikal of yesteryear. You will be surprised that he sounds like James Brown of our time. It surely is the bomb! Don’t sleep on it.

Jodeci to Reunite at Soul Train Awards 2014

Posted on November 10, 2014 | Leave a comment

Wendy Williams - Soul Train Awards 2014

日本語

Williams will host the Soul Train Awards, to air on BET and Centric on Nov. 30.

CB, Beyonce, and Drake -soul-train-nominees-2014Chris Brown, who is the lead nominee with seven, Beyoncé has six nominations and Pharrell Williams follows with five.

missy-elliot-lil-kim-billboard-650The Soul Train Awards has distinguished itself from other awards shows by catering to an older demographic over the past few years. The 2014 edition was a bit more old school than previous installments. Not that there was necessarily anything wrong with that, because getting the opportunity to see the likes of Jodeci, Missy Elliott, Lil’ Kim, Da Brat, Total and Mase grace the stage while also honoring the legendary Kool & The Gang was a treat for anyone who was a teenager in the ’90s.

Jodici at soul-train-awards-2014-3After years of rumors that the bad boys of 1990s R&B K-Ci, Jo Jo, DeVante Swing and Mr. Dalvin would reunite, they made it official on the 2014 Soul Train Awards stage with a performance that took those at The Orleans Arena in Las Vegas back in time to a place where Jodeci ruled the airwaves.

The show opened up with the indisputable king of R&B of today, Chris Brown who launched into a medley of hits from his more humble beginnings (“Yo (Excuse Me Miss)”) to today’s more edgy smash hit “Loyal,” which took home Soul Train awards for “Best Hip Hop Song” and “Best Collaboration.” It was vintage Brown as the 25-year-old bounded across the stage with energetic moves as dancers flanked him.

The show took a trip down nostalgic highways as host Wendy Williams helped guide the tour. Performances by Nico & Vinz, a high octane “2 On” from Tinashe, Kem (who brought Ledisi along for “If It’s Love”), 3WB (Three Winans Brothers) and We Are Toonz showing the 40-somethings in the crowd how to “Nae Nae” were mere precursors for the sentimental magic that would grace the stage.

1. Anaconda – Nicki Minaj

Lukeなどのマイアミベースを連想させる、めちゃノリのいいパーティー・チューンです。ジャケットの写真がこれまた話題 (最強にデカイお尻丸出し！！Nickiとあって、これをかけるとお姉さん達は大喜びです。

“Anaconda” sampled “Baby Got Back” by Sir Mix-a-Lot”, a bouncing party tune reminds me of Luke’s Miami Base. Artwork for the song showing Nicki Minaj’s huge ass catches people’s attention. All the ladies love this Nicki song.

 2. Pimpeii – Bastille

いい曲です！4人組のイギリスのロックバンド Bastille。クラブではエレクトロ・バージョンなんかがかかってますが、この曲のLiveアカペラバージョンってのがあって、とっても素敵です。美術館みたいな？場所で歌ってるんですが(ビデオで観ました)、透明感あふれるボーカルでアカペラ・バージョンも要チェックです。

Love this song by UK’s rock band Bastille!! Usually I play club remixes but their live accapella version sounds beautiful as well. Check out the video the members are singing in a museum-like gorgeous building. Their crystal clear accapella vocal is worth checking!

 3. Cut Her Off – K Camp f/ 2 Chainz

 ラジオでもクラブでも良くかかってます。キャッチーなコーラスなんで、覚えやすいです。ヒップホップクラウドが喜びます、聞いたことない人でも普通にゆっくり踊れるので、みんな好きな曲ですね。

This song is heavily played on the radio right now. Catchy chorus makes all the hip-hop heads dance to it.
