Boyz II Men - biography, discography, mp3 download

Filed under: Boyz II Men — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 2:10 am

Boyz II MenBoyz II Men, all music group participants: Nathan Bartholmew Morris, Michael Sean McCary, Shawn Patrick Stockman, and Wanya Jermaine Morris, they are dreamed only of being a successful music group. They no longer have to dream. These four incredible talents have accomplished so much in just twelve years. Their story is something that could be perfect for a movie. This biography will tell the incredible story of how four men single handedly conquered the music world. In 1992, just as the excitement over Cooley high harmony seemed to be dying down a bit, the soundtrack of the Eddie Murphy movie Boomerang, which featured the track “End of the Road,” was released. The single hovered at No. 1 for a phenomenal thirteen weeks, beating an eleven-week record set by Elvis Presley’s “Don’t Be Cruel/Hound Dog” single back in 1956.

The band’s record was broken just a few months later by Whitney Houston, whose sentimental “I Will Always Love You” clinched the top spot for fourteen weeks. But seemed destined to hold that “most weeks at No. 1″ crown: the band tied Houston’s record with the single, “I’ll Make Love to You,” in 1994, and then went on to surpass it the following year with “One Sweet Day,” a collaboration
with Mariah Carey that held solid at No. 1 for sixteen weeks.In October of 1993, the Boyz released the Christmas Interpretations album, a collection of both traditional and original Christmas songs. Their version of “Let It Snow” cracked the Top 40 for one week, entering in at No. 32, and the
album itself hit the Top 20. By the time the Boyz released Boyz II Men II in September of 1994, they had become the poster boys for a new era of R&B music. Before Boyz II Men made it big, the fifth and co-founder of the group, Marc Nelson left the group to pursue a solo career. That news was a blow to Nate, his best friend and also the co-founder. If Marc did not leave the group, Wanya and Shawn were threatening to leave, so the Boyz were soon going to be four. If you think about the situation now, that is better for Boyz II Men since he left before they got huge. If he left while they were becoming successful, the group would have appeared and unstable and might have never done a second album. Some of you may remember that Marc was in the wanna be group, Az Yet in 1996 or 1997…

Prodigy (Hip-Hop) Return Of The Mac

Filed under: Prodigy — Tags: , , — admin @ 3:31 pm

prodigyHardcore; gritty; provocative; these are just a few of the adjectives that described Mobb Deep’s brand of hardcore gangsta rap on their early albums. The Queensbridge natives painted dark illustrations of street life encumbered with all the graphic details you would see if you were actually in the hood; couple that with exceptional production, blunt and pointed lyrics and good chemistry between the members (Prodigy and Havoc) and you have the reason why the Mobb built a loyal fan base. At one point, the more outspoken of the duo, did his solo thing. Although the album sales probably didn’t break the bank, he put together a dope album leaving fans salivating for more. Seven years later, loyalists receive capital P and long time associate and producer, the Alchemist, for Return of the Mac.

Download mp3 album “Return Of The Mac”
 ”Return of the Mac”

The track is funky; very 80s like. launches into his own rendition of New York shit. He raps “I’m on my New York shit/Mobb Deep ni**a, Queens New York shit/orange box cutter that New York shit/guzzle the whole bottle, that’s a New York sip.” He continues this throughout the track.

“Stuck on You”
Alchemist uses an old school sample as the foundation of this track continuing the soulful tone. rhymes about his vices verse by verse. The first stanza is about cash; the second about guns and the last about sexy women.

All traks: LEGENDS, STOP FRONTING, NICKEL AND A NAIL, 7TH HEAVEN, BANG ON ‘EM, TAKE IT TO THE TOP, P. SPEAKS, MADGE SPEAKS, THE ROTTEN APPLE, MAC 10 HANDLE, DOWN & OUT IN NEW YORK CITY, STUCK ON YOU, THE MAC IS BACK INTRO, RETURN OF THE MAC (AKA NEW YORK S***).

Jay-Z American Gangster

Filed under: Jay-Z — Tags: , , — admin @ 2:58 am

Jay-Z American GangsterNo mere album, this is a ‘conceptual body of genius work’ inspired by the upcoming movie ‘American Gangster’. The concept is a 21st century blaxploitation soundtrack, and having THE Super Ego of hip hop mastermind an updating of that classic period, and embellish it with autobiographical detail, is a pretty damn mouth-watering prospect. And he has a point to prove; his last venture back from retirement Kingdom Come received a lukewarm response, at best.

There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that Sean Corey Carter’s storied Rap career should be immortalized in ’s hall of fame.  The man effortlessly killed the game for eight straight years and “bowed out” as one of the greatest to touch the mic.  would eventually return from his much hyped hiatus—no one believed him—only to have his skills and motivation questioned with the lukewarm reception of Kingdom Come.  Now refocused, he returns with American Gangster (Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam).  A conceptual piece based on specific scenes from the movie of the same name, the album is deceptively one of his best and most personal.

jay-zOriginally from Marcy Houses housing project in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn in New York City, Jay-Z was abandoned by his father Adnes Reeves when he was twelve years old. attended Eli Whitney High School in Brooklyn, along with rapper AZ, until it was closed down. After that he attended George Westinghouse Information Technology High School in Downtown Brooklyn, with fellow rappers The Notorious B.I.G. and Busta Rhymes, and Trenton Central High School in Trenton, New Jersey, but did not graduate. He claims to have been caught up in selling drugs, to which he refers in his music.

According to his mother Gloria Carter, a young used to wake his siblings up at night banging out drum patterns on the kitchen table. Eventually, she bought him a boom box for his birthday and thus sparked his interest in music. He began freestyling, writing rhymes, and followed the music of many artists popular at the time. It is stated that he beat Busta Rhymes in a rap battle, but also has lost to DMX.

In his neighborhood, Carter was known as “Jazzy”, a nickname that eventually developed into his stage name, “”. The moniker is also a homage to his musical mentor Jaz-O (a.k.a. Jaz, Big Jaz) as well as to the J/Z subway lines that have a stop at Marcy Avenue in Brooklyn.

Jay-Z can be heard on several of Jaz-O’s early recordings in the late 80s and early 90s, including “The Originators” and “Hawaiian Sophie”. He also collaborated with Inglewood, California producer Three-1-Zero. His career had a jump start when he battled a rapper by the name of Zai. The battle caught the eye of many record labels, as was able to hold his own against Zai. He also made an appearance on a popular song by Big L, “Da Graveyard”, and on Mic Geronimo’s “Time to Build”, which also featured early appearances by DMX and Ja Rule and Shazim Hasan in 1995.
