Pod Post Thursdays: Fool | JMSN
#PodPostThursdays
I’m a fool for you…
There’s nothing I can do…
New music from JMSN and this one cuts deep. Beautiful music nevertheless. If you’ve been wondering, how I’ve been, about when Unit 6 (his joint project with Ab-Soul) is dropping,..
“Unit 6 is done! It’s just that I’m not signed to a label and Ab-Soul is, so there are some technical difficulties there. Hopefully, we can get it worked out because I don’t want to have to leak anything or anything like that. It would just devalue what we did…”- JMSN
That’s good to know it’s done. I hope it works out soon so we can get more great music. In the mean time.. listen to this below:

I’d do…
Anything…
For you…

Sky| Marsha Ambrosius
One last goodbye…
While filming this on her iPhone during a flight from L.A. to Philly, Ms. Ambrosius felt compelled to place the visual with a song she penned to rappers Jimme WallStreet and Lil Snupe who both passed away on the same day last week, as well as her Aunt and idol Michael Jackson (whose four-year death anniversary is today). Sigh… While this is a beautiful song.. it’s tough to digest at the moment.
“I can listen to this a remember. I can listen to this and want to forget. I can listen to this and mend a broken heart or feel it break..” – Marsha Ambrosius.
Sn: I haven’t spoken on the Lil Snupe situation because it bothers me….A LOT…. For various reasons. Hopefully.. I’ll gather myself enough not to avoid it and to actually make a post.

TLC Replaces Left Eye verse on "Waterfalls" for 20th Anniversary...
The remaining members of hit group, TLC, have several eyebrows raised after they re-released a 20th anniversary version of their hit song “Waterfalls” that does not include the original verse from late member, Left Eye. Instead, this updated version features Japanese pop star Namie Amuro. Sources suspect it is because TLC kicked their tour off in Japan this month and they are making an attempt to draw more folks in (which leads further speculation as to why the track was not released in the states).
However, Lisa’s sister, Reigndrop, told TMZ “… I did not know about it until a fan posted it online…” “…I mean it would have been nice if they would have given us a heads up before being surprised”. It is, also, said by Reign' that her mother was “hurt” by their decision. Sigh.
I hope T-Boz and Chilli release a statement soon to clear the air. In the meantime, listen to the “new” version:
RIP Lisa...

If that ain’t the truth…

Nas responds to J.Cole with "Made Nas Proud"
So point blank, young Cole…
You won’t be the same…
Here’s a response, or remix if you will, from Nas to Cole’s track ‘Let Nas Down’ on Born Sinner (in stores now). This has to be a crazy humbling moment for Cole. To have someone who you look up to greatly, tell you that you actually didn’t let them down but you made them proud. I’m sure the feeling can’t be explained. Listen Below:

Master P explains why No Limit never collaborated with Cash Money...
… we really from the streets
You can’t do anything but respect this man. While his record company may have faded (like other major labels over the years), he was smart with investments and other ventures which explains why he and his family is STILL well taken care of. He, also, while congratulating Cash Money on their success, provided his answer as trill as possible. No sugar coat. RARE in the industry nowadays. I’m not sure where the rest of the interview is, and will update if I find it, but you can view this portion for the time being.
