D.R.A.M.Знаменитый японский женщин-ди-джеем в Нью-Йорке

1. Cha Cha – D.R.A.M

メキシカン調の楽しい&のんびりしたトラックに、TVゲームのスーパー・マリオ音をサンプリングしてループされてて なんとも面白い曲です。Dramのほのぼのした歌声がまた味があって良い。バージニア出身のニューカマー D.R.A.M。Beyonceがこの曲に乗せて踊ったビデオ、そして「この曲聴くと ハッピーな気分になるわ！」ってコメントと共にインスタグラムに載せたとたん Cha Chaのミュージックビデオの再生数がいきなり400万件近くに。一夜にして 一躍人気者になってしまった！彼もBeyonceに 大変感謝しているとのこと。

”Cha Cha” is a very interesting song by Virginia-based rapper/singer D.R.A.M. The music is based on a loop from Super Mario World. Most recently, Beyonce, who posted a contagiously joyful Instagram video of herself dancing to it, her caption, “this song makes me happy,” is priceless. Almost instantly began to attract admiring reactions and the hit reached 4 million and it truly made him an overnight success. He said he loved her for what she did.

2. Hood Go Crazy – Tech N9ne feat. 2 Chainz & B.O.B

Hip Hop Classicの名曲 Digital Underground の The Humpty Danceのぶっといベースラインを大ネタ使いしてて ビートがとってもカッコいい！オールドスクールテイストを残しつつ 今人気のラッパーが代わる代わるにラップしてて、楽しいです。クラブでもかかってます。

Great beats! That bending bassline sampling Hip Hop Classic, Digital Underground’s “The Humpty Dance” is the most interesting here. “Hood Go Crazy” features 2 Chainz, one of the best feature artists of the last decade and B.o.B., a great pop rapper still sounds like Old School Hip Hop. It’s currently making noise at clubs.

3.  I’m Up – Omarion feat. Kid Ink & French Montana

いまだに Post To Beがクラブで根強く人気のOmarion。今度は これまた人気の French MontanaとKid Inkをフューチャーリングして Post To Be に似た感じの踊れるR&Bが新しく出て 良い感じです。この曲もPost To Beみたいに 流行る可能性ありです。ラジオでは良くかかってますが、まだあまりクラブでは聞かないかな。

With his latest single “Post To Be” still dominating he charts and airwaves, Omarion is now shifting his focus onto the follow up song, “I’m Up” featuring Kid Ink & French Montana. Not yet taken over clubs but it won’t take long to be all over the radio.

Fabolous

Знаменитый японский женщин-ди-джеем в Нью-Йорке

1. Ball Drop – Fabolous & French Montana

渋いホーンのサンプリングがちょっと懐かしい感じのするトラックですが、その反面French Montanaのいつもの調子のラップに 最近なかなかまた人気のベテラン・ラッパー Fabolous。かれももうかなりの年齢なはずなのに、見た目はデビュー当時と変わらない風貌。(今調べたら 38歳。本当か？だいたいみんな5歳はサバよんでそうだが) 前回話した様に Pharellと同様、年取らない系です。Jay Zも凄い年なのにかなり若い。おじさんぽい見た目なら、今時ラッパーとのコラボのオファー来ないかもですよね..。この曲は断然Hip Hopオンリーのクラブで大人気。

Fab and French teamed up for “Ball Drop” featuring a familiar horn sampling. Fab has been in the game for the longest but he looks exactly the same since the first time he came to the scene. According to his bio he is 38, really? Maybe he’s lying his age, I don’t know but he definitely belongs to Pharrell’s never-age-club. Same thing with Jay-Z, he’s forever young. If you look too old you better not expect any offers to collaborate with young rappers. “Ball Drop” is the party anthem at clubs exclusively playing Hip-Hop.

2. Rihanna – B#tch Better Have My Money

新しくでるRihannaのアルバムからの一曲。かなりゆっくり目の曲で、ちょっとレゲエテイストも入ってるような..確実に黒人のお姉さん達におおいに支持されそうな一曲の予感です。だいたいパーティーでそういうお姉さんの団体が入って来てつまらなそうにしてたら、Rihanna、BeyonceかCiaraをメドレーでかけてみれば ご機嫌にできます。

A trap song with a hip hop beat and a reggae flavor from Rihanna’s new album will surely be embraced by black girls. The best way to make a group of bored ladies on the floor is to play songs by Rihanna, Beyonce and Ciara back to back. You can make them smile.

3. Slow Motion – Trey Songz

いいですねー、なんか懐かしい感じの正統派スロー・ジャム、セクシー系です。前で言うとまさに Genuwine 系のバラードです。最近あまりなかったような気がするんで嬉しいです。この曲、なぜかお兄さん達からやけにリクエスト来ます。普通お姉さんからのはずなのに。Trey Songzって地道に人気凄いです。

Trey Songz’ classic slow jam reminisces smooth ballads of 90’s R&B singer Genuwine. Nice and sexy. It’s like the situation is reversed mostly guys who request for this song, not ladies…….why? Because he is Trey Songz!

For the fourth consecutive year, LL Cool J will host The Grammy Awards on February 8, 2015 at Staples Center in Los Angeles. The two-time Grammy winner from New York City has served as the MC for over 10 Grammy shows, tributes, and specials. He also produced The Grammy Nominations Concert Live!! — Countdown To Music’s Biggest Night, and A Very Grammy Christmas television special.

“I’m thrilled to again be part of music’s biggest night,” says Cool J. “The performances and moments you see on the Grammy stage are nothing less than amazing throughout the years, and this year’s show is shaping up to be one you will never forget.”

“As both a Grammy-winning recording artist and an accomplished actor, LL Cool J’s wide range of talent, dynamic personality, and charismatic energy make him the perfect choice to host the Grammy Awards,” says Recording Academy President/CEO Neil Portnow. “His unique expertise allows him to set the right tone for the show and connect with everyone — from his musical peers to fans at home. We are honored to have him back.”

Jodeci to Reunite at Soul Train Awards 2014

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.
