Somebody had to say it. Thank you.

I wonder how “little brother” Kanye will take this?

If you’re into R&B and in southern California, you’ve probably noticed that R&B practically died on the radio stations as of late. What happened??

I’ve resorted to listening to alternative and jazz and finding smaller lesser-known artists from the internet.

Here’s an example of a singer I stumbled across… her name is Joi Starr and she’s currently a back up singer on tour with Kanye West. She’s a great singer and I like her relaxed sounding voice vs. some of those singers who belt out songs at the top of their lungs (although I like some artists like that too).

Hold On – Joi Starr

I’ll be on the lookout for an upcoming album for sure

At Last – Beyonce

Not the full version but man… what a voice!

EDIT: Picture for Fausto:

and one more for good measure:

Usually Power106 (our hip hop station here) is completely devoid of anything political or anything related to current events. It’s really annoying and irresponsible I think. But today it was nice to hear so many people on the radio talk about what’s happened today.

Here’s some of the stuff I’ve heard today:
Young Jeezy and Nas – My President is Black
Jay-Z – Lick a Shot for Obama
Will.i.am and Common – Yes we can

Wow! Hip hop on the radio that’s not about strip clubs, hoes or money! Is it snowing in hell?
