A story about "New Territories"

nobody@allconsuming.net (trentfitz) — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 07:24:37 GMT

New Territories

by Eric Lau

Eric Lau is a upstart producer who has produced tracks for Lupe Fiasco, Snoop Dogg, Guilty Simpson and others.

His debut LP New Territories features his staple of singers crooning over some infectious jazz and hip-hop-inflicted music.

This is a nice album to spin on those warm romantic nights or when you’re just relaxing at the crib.

A story about "Jay Love Japan"

nobody@allconsuming.net (trentfitz) — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 05:10:51 GMT

Jay Love Japan

by Jay Dee

This disc is currently available via iTunes. Of course, it goes without saying that this collection is worthy of your attention. Cop and download, immediately!

I think Jay Loves Japan is better than his Stones Throw release, Ruff Draft.

Hot songs: “Say It,” “Uh Oh”

Why it's taking me forever to finish consuming "Jay Deelicious: The Delicious Vinyl Years"

Jay Deelicious: The Delicious Vinyl Years

by Jay Dee

J Dilla (AKA Jay Dee AKA Dilla Dog) maybe gone, but his musical legacy will never be forgotten.

This is a collection of J Dilla’s noteworthy productions (remixes, rarities) with mostly Tha Pharcyde and Brand New Heavies on Delicious Vinyl Records. Most of the classics are on here ~~- “Runnin’”, “Drop” -~~ and their instrumentals (a great bonus).

This is a wonderful collection of J Dilla’s formative years as a producer before he started working with A Tribe Called Quest, Busta Rhymes, Erykah Badu and among others.

This set is also available on iTunes, which is really cool for iPod heads like myself. Plus, all proceeds from the sales of the collection, including downloads, will go to J Dilla’s mom, Maureen Yancey.

I will forever consume J Dilla’s music.

Rest In Power J Dilla!

We Love You!!

Too Legit to "Quit" (rated 3 stars)

nobody@allconsuming.net (trentfitz) — Sun, 27 May 2007 08:21:54 GMT

Don't Quit Your Day Job

by Consequence

Cons’ album is not a bad rap album at all. In fact, it’s the most honest rap collection you’ll heard this year amongst the ghetto posturing, thuggery and bullshit that’s dominating the music today.

"Black" Thought (rated 4 stars)

by Black Milk

Black Milk’s Popular Demand is one of the best rap albums of 2007.

The Best of Chappelle's Show (Uncensored)

by Todd Broder

25 of Dave Chappelle’s best skits from his seminal comedy-sketch series Chappelle’s Show on one DVD—there is a God in heaven. Plus, the DVD features extra clips from Charlie Murphy’s True Hollywood Stories. This is a must-have for those who still miss the show.

Music Is My Savior

by Mims

Real quick . . .

Mims’ braggadocios anthem “This Is Why I’m Hot” is indeed hot. His debut album Music Is My Savoir . . . not so hot.

A review of "Miami Vice (Unrated Director's Cut)" (rated 3 stars)

nobody@allconsuming.net (trentfitz) — Thu, 14 Dec 2006 06:28:10 GMT

Miami Vice (Unrated Director's Cut)

by Michael Mann

While I respect Michael Mann as a visionary filmmaker, Miami Vice was a letdown. Visually, it’s stunning. But the movie lacks in a plausible story line. And the love scenes featured in this movie should have been left on the cutting room floor—it totally slowed the movie down.

I was bored to sleep while watching this film. If you are a fan of Michael Mann’s work, I would suggest copping Heat, Ali or Collateral.

Miami Vice should have sizzled with a lot more action and less drama, but instead it fizzles.

Why I want to consume "Once Again"

nobody@allconsuming.net (trentfitz) — Sun, 22 Oct 2006 14:07:40 GMT

Once Again

by John Legend

John Legend’s CD Once Again is the most thrilling and sophiscated R&B disc released this year. No sophomore slump to speak of, just pure soul-stirring music. I was impressed with the level of musicianship John has showcased on the collection. Studio mavericks Raphael Saadiq, Kanye West and will.i.am provided the soulful soundbeds and John gave us another wonderful vocal performance. Standouts include “P.D.A.,” “Again,” “Heaven” and my personal favorite, “Where Did My Baby Go.” Once Again is worth its weight in soul.

Why I want to consume "Fearless Leader"

Fearless Leader

by John Coltrane

Because John Coltrane is indeed a fearless leader of jazz.

Why I want to consume "To Go"

nobody@allconsuming.net (trentfitz) — Wed, 20 Sep 2006 17:57:40 GMT

To Go

by John Coltrane

In today’s society, people want everything fast. You’ve got your fast food, your ready-to-eat microwaves dinners, fast check outs at the supermarket, fast checking at the bank and so forth. So why not have your music fast and ready to go.

Verve Records’ John Coltrane To Go is just that – a selection of John’s classic songs in just under 45 minutes. Take the CD and burn it, import it or bootleg it and you are ready to go. I went on iTunes and downloaded a couple of tracks. You can never have enough John Coltrane in your music player – or in my case, the brand new silver-colored iPod Nano (2nd Generation) – when you are ridin’ dirty on the train. Ya feel me?

If you are looking for some John Coltrane but don’t want to scour through hundreds of his greatest-hits collection, cop this disc and you got Johnny on the go!

Favorite Tracks: “After the Rain,” “My One and Only Love,” “Love Supreme”
