The Passions Of The Thriller

February 12, 2008 By: Meesh Category: Downloads, Icon, Music

I sometimes am guilty of over using the term “GREATEST OF ALL TIMES”. But thats the only phrase that you can say when you think of an artist selling over 100 million copies of an album. Or how about this particular album being on the Billboard top 200 for an entire year, and for 37 weeks of that year it was #1.

Growing up I was exposed to alot of music with a family as big as mine you heard your fair share of Michael Jackson. And when I think back on it, a majority of his songs we heard on the regular basis were from Thriller. Do understand why people are making a big deal about the 25th Anniversary of this album, it made Mike THEE rock star of his generation. His music is considered timeless, and has influenced artists from Chris Brown to Usher.

Thriller 25 has 5 new mixes featuring Fergie, Akon, Will.I.Am and production from Kanye West. Now granted we will feature the album for download until the link expires, we do encourage you to go out and purchase the album. It comes in CD and vinyl, its released with a DVD that features the videos, Billie Jean, Beat It, Thriller and also the Motown 25 performance of Billie Jean which is where he first cranked that moonwalk to the public! While here you wont be getting all that special 25th anniversary gleam and glam! We do have the CD for now.

Jesus why? Seriously this song is so bad that its borderline good. The video was a joke I’m siding with some one on youtube, not only did baby girl bite off fergie but the bitch took a big ass bite out of RENT! I have no idea why I assumed she could sing just because she could dance. I was so so so so so so damn wrong. Talkin about this is a tribute to Fame! This is straight out of a trash bin! I’m starting to think Diddy was right! props to brwneizs @ lovebscott!

As usual I missed some of the Grammy’s and after seeing Amy perform I was done! Seriously she looks so sick she needs to cut the b.s. shes two hits away from an intervention. On a lighter note those of you who are like me and have missed the Grammys and or just want to download ur favorite parts! I’ve found some performances and I’m ripping and converting these clips as I get them so everyone can have the performance mp3’s and the mp4 video formats which should work for Zunes, iPods and iPhones. I’m not gonna sit here and re-up these things once you guys murder the links… keep this in mind!

I’m actually a little shocked with this video! I think It might make it on the zune! This video has a big Gwen Stefani feel to it which for me is a big plus its like Alice in wonderland meets Gulliver’s Travels! I think Crazy may be the new Sexy.

Teyana Taylor - Google Me // Download

This is one of those tidbits I neglected to post during my hiatus… how will you ever forgive me!?! Any who! Teyana Taylor the self proclaimed princess of Harlem has been very busy. While other people who’ve appeared on sweet sixteen have been long forgotten (well to me anyway) Teyana has for some odd reason been the only one I really remembered. It might have something to do with her being signed to Star Trak (You know how i love me some Pharrell). Whatever the reason I had to post this single, sure its been posted on every blog online… but when u play catchup you have to post these things not to mention the video for “Google Me” should be released any day now. Now I do enjoy the song and crack jokes about people doing google searches on me, The song is good but I expect more with the neptunes produced tracks. Also that did bug me I wondered why they released a jazzy phae track first… either wayt it will be getting airtime people love Teyana!

The New Amerykah

It’s Never easy picking the artist spotlight I was actually going to pass this time around because number one there aren’t many artists releasing music worth talking about and number two Erykah’s album hasn’t leaked yet… I guess we’ll be seeing it near the 26th. Good things do come to those who wait. So while we wait on that do know I always come bearing gifts. This is why I’m ur favorite blogger on ohaj! We’ll get to that in a minute but first lets go over a brief history of E.

Erykah’s First album ‘Baduizm” was released in the earlier part of 1997 & was debuted at #2 on the Billboard charts. The album featured my all time jams “other side of the game”, “On and On” and “Next Lifetime” (I know this isn’t to showcase my ongoing love for her music but still home girl is the TRUTH) In 98 E. won several Grammy awards, Baduizm went Triple platinum.

After the success of her first album the only proper thing to do is create more music. In 98 She recorded her first live album “Live”. This album went double platinum and featured the infamous single “Tyrone” Which became the anthem for the fed-up woman. E. worked with The roots for the album “Things Fall Apart”, she was featured on the song “You Got Me” which was co-written by Jill Scott This too won a grammy and made it on the Top 40.

After taking a much deserved hiatus to raise Seven E. returned with her 3rd album “Mama’s Gun”. The albums feel and lyrical content was considered to be more organic when compared to her first studio album. Even though the album didn’t chart high on the Billboards, it did go double platinum and the lead single bag lady was nominated for a Grammy. E. collaborated with Common for the song “Love of My Life (An Ode to Hip-Hop)” which was featured on the “Brown Sugar” soundtrack, it was #9 on the Pop Charts and in 2003 she received her fourth Grammy. In 2003 “World Wide Underground” was released and not long after its release it went gold. Shes also been featured in a gang of movies and what not but i really didn’t want to come off like i was nabbing wikipedia for all of its content.

Now I really Honestly Don’t have many downloads from her new album ” The New Amerykah” yet! but I have the little brother remix of Honey! and I actually have the video for Honey The video reminds me Of Lupe Fiasco - Day Dreaming, and Outkast - Hey Ya.
