I don't think it's meant ...
Friday Love Notes: Is Your Value System A Major Influence When Choosing A Lifelong Mate?
A value system is defined as a set of consistent ethic values (more specifically the personal and cultural values) and measures used for the purpose of ethical or ideological integrity. A well defined value system is a moral code. Most children are taught & shown different things by their parents & neighbors that shape who we are for years to come. At that age we have a limited sight distance that consists of our family, schoolmates & members of our place of worship. When we turn 18 and venture off into the world how much of these teachings do we carry ...

Mmmhhmm…clock him like that again Bri Bri and I can see a Chris Brown coming. But seriously, rapping to her about a sensitive subject like aborting a baby definitely deserved a busted lip.
Tyga "Get Away" ft Lloyd produced by Rahk
Posted by cmongood on May 24th, 2009
I know this came out back in January or December, but last night I got to meet the producer who did that pretty track. His name is Rahk and he’s a 21 year old alchoholic. It’s a summery (new word, shut the fuck up) song anyway so DOWNLOAD it now and ride out.

Reggae artist Timberlee gets sexy. This song is cute, poppy, funny and catchy. Timberlee has embarked on a U.S. Tour to promote her new single “Sexy In My Heels” during the months of April and May. “This tour will serve as an ideal vehicle of introducing Timberlee to her U.S. dancehall fans,” says Timberlee’s manager Garfield “Chin” Bourne of Irish and Chin, Inc. “Moreover, Timberlee will get a proper feel for touring and what lies a head in her burgeoning career.”

Laron is the protege of Infinity of Full Scale Music Group. He’s also been working with Dallas Austin and should hopefully have something out before 2009 closes…ahem. This is not an official vid obviously, but the track is official and he produced and wrote the song. Just wanted to give everyone a little taste of what I’m anticipating will be a superb debut.

Kelly Rowland Let's Love Take Over
Posted by cmongood on May 24th, 2009
I was over at billboard’s watching the chart movement when I came upon this article featuring Kelly Rowland discussing her latest release “When Love Takes Over”.
Singer Kelly Rowland was in France last summer when she discovered DJ David Guetta, at one of his exhilarating techno shows in Cannes.
When she later met up with Guetta and asked him to play a new track for her, the French DJ unveiled a pop number built around a lush piano loop and throbbing percussion. The track, which would become the groundwork for “When Love Takes Over,” moved Rowland to tears.
“I felt so much emotion from the track; something happened the first time I heard it, and it was just beautiful,” Rowland says. The former Destiny’s Child member took the track to London to write and record the song’s vocals.
David Guetta is a french DJ/Producer who has been in the game overseas for more than a minute. In 2008, he was elected as World DJ No. 5 and best house DJ by the British J Mag. He recently produced “I Gotta Feeling,” the second single off the Black Eyed Peas’ upcoming album “The E.N.D.”
“The track with Kelly has made me experiment with a more American urban influence,” Guetta says. “Musically, it’s opened a new world for me. It’s pure pop with a lot of detail, and Kelly had this Whitney Houston vibe and nailed it.”
“When Love Takes Over” peaked at #2 on the US Dance charts. Get em Kelly!
