I got:


Cannonball Adderley (feat. Bill Evans) -- Know What I Mean?: I am already loving this album immensely. These cats make great music together. Their collabos with Miles must have contributed to the great chemistry.


De La Soul -- The Grind Date: Just dropped today. I haven't even gotten 1/3 through the album and I am already open. "Much More" and "Church" are worth the price alone. Plus with collabos with Common, Ghostface, and MF Doom? That's sick.

i'm going to the wrecka stow today to get mahogany: dream of a modern day. its not new but its still going to be my tuesday purchase, lol.

I'm getting Jon B today.

I went to Best Buy to pick up Jon B today and they said it wasn't out yet. Has anyone else seen it in stores today??? I ended getting Talib Kweli's The Beautiful Struggle.

I'm gonna stop procrastinating and pick up Nellie Mckay's 'Get Away From Me'

Get the fuck outta here do you know what I play in the background at THIS very moment?

The infamous "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy! Live at 'The Club'" album. Damn

Ok, here're my purchaes:

ClassiKhan-Chaka
Ray Ray-Raphael Saadiq
Outrun The Sky-Lalah Hathaway
The London Sessions-Mary Lou Williams(I recommend this to all jazz piano freaks)

I'd get this album just for this song. I remember when they performed it on the first season of Chappelle's Show. I am so captivated by Yummy's raspy voice...she really makes that song shine, IMO.

okaypimpn said:

So thats her name? Yummy?

My brotha been naggin' on my head to know that broad's name.

okaypimpn said:

What do you think of it so far? Is it betta than Instante Vintage or sounds predictable to you?

I didn't get any music! I tried to pick up "ClassiKhan" at Media Play in exchange for some old CDs. The retail value was only $2.38 or something but they allow you to trade for a new release but they didn't have it. They said once they get it, I can come back. So I'll wait.

So far I bought "Farenheitt 9/11" and "What's Happening" Season 2. I almost got the new Korn greatest hits but decided against it and am happy with that choice.

Harlepolis said:

Better. Ray gets better as the years go by, IMO.

Harlepolis said:

Yeah, she used to be in a group called Tha Rayne (the same girls that sang in Jaheim's "Fabulous"). That girl's got some pipes!

OdysseyMiles said:

That's a great album.

Harlepolis said:

I'm in your head,

I love Cannonball. Ever since picking up Something Else, I've been a fan.

I am sure you have THIS one, but if you don't, knowing your penchant for jazz vocalists, this one would be a delight for you:




I don't have "Mercy" but I do have The Cannonball Adderley Quartet In San Francisco, which is a jewel.



Looks like a good haul for you.

okaypimpn said:

Yeah, that's right. Lemme tell ya De La is probably the most slept-on hip-hop group around. Ever since their landmark "3 Feet High," heads have ignored them, for the most part, especially since the mid-90's, when they dropped Stakes Is High, and then later, the AOI joints.

namepeace said:

I used to like "Stakes Is High" and "Baby Phat"

Cd's I bought today


Great cd, definitly worth the money

I love everything this man has ever done, and the 'american' series is a touch of pure genius

asside from the singles...kind of a letdown

have to listen to it a few more times

great album,...if you haven't heard it, get it now!!

Jon B baby!

This was my only purchase today. Love those layered vocals.

Though she's one of my absolute favorites, I didn't pick up Chaka's new album. I listened to it and didn't fully like it. I'm sure I'll get it eventually, but it's just not high on my list right now.

I think this album will grow on you. I wasn't thrilled with it at first either but soon you'll like it if you like the singles. All the songs really feel like singles when I hear the album. In fact, many of them were singles in Europe and I think did rather well there but only about three songs from "Up!" will be on the greatest hits CD. The first three singles, I think. The "big" singles if you will, although "She..." and "It Only Hurts..." broke the charts, I think.

okaypimpn said:

"Stakes" was the "Rebel Without A Pause" of its day, although not embraced. "Baby Phat" was a good track off that album, which wasn't as good as AOI Part I but unfairly maligned in some ways.

I went all over the map lately

Enya geatest hits
Joss Stone The soul Sessions
Michael Mcdonalds greatest hits
Third Day

Enya was as expected... Joss was not... Good stuff but not what was expected... as for McDonald I really wanted more of the Doobies hits.. but nice relax music... As for Third Day... I haven't liked this one nearly as much as the past selections.

No music, but I did buy...

Canned pineapple, some toilet paper and pantyhose for my mother cause she was in a hurry herself. Man, was that an embarrassing moment handing out them at the cash register.



Seriously, the toilet paper was so cheap I was very worried some people might see that I have to use something so substandard.

Today I got a copy of Interpol's new one for a friend.

A bargain dvd of Madonna's first movie, "A Certain Sacrifice".

I want to pick up the new Marianne Faithfull and the Bowie box set that supposedly came out, but can't find them anywhere.

I didn't buy any music,but I did buy two DVDs...

"What's Happenin" Season Two
"Diff'rent Strokes" Season One


I'm a sucka for old television shows that I watched as a kid.

VinnyM27 said:

Same here.So far,I've watched two episodes...the "Gong Show" episode,and the "Rerun gets married" episode,which features Irene Cara.I'm thrilled that Season Two also contains the infamous 2-part episode where The Doobie Brothers make a guest appearance.
