“The Ozz Man Cometh,” the latest OzzyOsbourne CD, really hit it big in my mind. I like this CD because I canput it on track 2, and listen to it all the way through. I don’t have toswitch from song to song like other CDs; every song isawesome. Ozzy’s songs have a lot of meaning, […]

In 2013, 36-year-old rapper Fabolous launched the third and remaining mixtape of his trilogy, ‘ The Soul Tape 3’. From his clean speaking, to like, to speaking about actual life, this mixtape has been very satisfying. Each track, from starting to finish has so many meanings, giving folks various things to narrate to. The best […]
Bruno Mars’ pop album, Doo Wops and Hooligans begins with the traces, “Reality of the matter is I’m sophisticated,” which is humorous, as a result of the lyrics of the songs introduced are supposed to be easy and carefree. There are hints of rock, reggae, R&B, soul, and hip-hop sprinkled all through the album, however […]
