Just wondering,has Lenny ever had a huge hit on urban radio? I've never heard any of his stuff on an R&B station.He's considered rock/pop.


I think "It Ain't Over till it's over" was released to urban radio. Not sure on the chart position. The video was played on BET back in 91.


and i heard dig in on hot 97 once. and the i wonder if i'll ever c u again one..shocked the mess outta me.

mazerati,
this is by no means an attempt 2 attack ur posting. i understand where u r coming from with this. BUT, u have 2 realize singles r intended 2 sell the cd. lenny needs all the help he can get selling baptism. prince does not need singles 2 sell musicology or b heard on the radio. if u havent noticed prince is EVERYWHERE. sheeit, i checked my driver's license 2 c if his lil' ass wasn't on there.any artist would kill 2have this type of exposure without demeaning themselves. iam pretty sure lenny didnt want 2 do those retarded target ads..but hey got 2 sell records!!!
if this was '86 or '87 when he was effing up in the single department.i would be with ya..but it's a new day and age. if he did release_____(place ur favorite musicology song here). what would u like 2 happen?
minor keys and drugs don't make a rollerskate jam

i dont know im from a time (the 80's) when an artist was popular there would be several top 40 singles from their album..it just kind of bugs me that there are many good songs on Musicology and it looks like none of them will even chart on the hot 100

lol I felt the same. I hate that Target ad. Lenny should be banned from being a musician, after that. Not to mention, his lyrics suck.

Truth be told,
his rhymes get old,
even when his album goes gold,
the guy should fold,
but he sings as though he's bold,
like he breaks the mold,
but his rhymes are like a 2 year old's.

Luv & Peace,
Alex

Lenny and Jay-Z have a song out now that's being played on Urban radio [NY 107-5, WBLS]. And lemme tell you: First time I heard it, I thought it was Prince singing. I mean, he sounds so much like Prince it's not even funny. I don't know the name of the song, but the chorus is something like: "You're the one who keeps me strong..." It's so funky; it's pretty funky, in fact and even the music sounds like Prince...funky bass, too!

He is being pretty much blackballed even with him being hot right now. I've sais it b4 that P is still an outsider doing things against the establishment and he is not the MODEL of success that they.....the Record companies really want 2see succeed. Usually(especially backNthaDay) a hit album+ a hit tour plus visibility(interviews etc.etc.) got your single played in heavy or at least moderate rotation. Niether of P's singles on radio or video is recieving much hype at all. Simply put they r still hating on P,period!
U,ME,WE!....2FUNKY!

It's the best Prince has ever sounded, as far as vocals, on any of his records/CDs.

And the lyrics are great!

Luv & Peace,
