New Jamie Foxx cd.....

Have u guys heard Jamie's new cd? Half the tracks are with "featured" guest.
I thought Jamie had a lot of promise with his very 1st cd, but he he has moved completely away from R&B into this hip-hop nonsense. Not a good look.

Someone is trying to sell records, artistic integrity be damned. Has he even had anything that looks like a watchable movie since "Ray"? He is not hitting on all cylinders... Many people are complaining that his Sirius radio station is a multi million deal for a channel that does not pulling in subscribers and is taking too much money away from the company. He's a talented guy but he needs to do some quality movies.

Jamie has changed quite a bit since his Oscar win. Not 4 the good from where I'm sitting.

In 2004, he had "Ray", a supporting role with Rom Cruise where he stole some of his thunder (event though Tom had the juicy villain role) AND was winning TV awards for a TV movie called "Redemption" where he plays a prisoner.

His follow ups included "Stealth" that was pushed back pretty often and maybe only released because of Jamie's success. I might be wrong on that but it was a movie that lost a notorious amount of money! "Dreamgirls" wasn't bad and I think he got good marks for "Jarhead" but those were supporting roles.

But "Miami Vice"...could that have even sounded good on paper? Talk about a bad choice. His next film is with Robert Downey, Jr. so it might be good.

"The Kingdom" was not the average action flick. I thought that movie was good and definitely wasn't presented as a "hate" movie. It was gritty realism and you could see the Jamie foxx character go through a learning process due to the heroism of the lead middle-eastern character.

He just needs to make more films, but the parts aren't out there for Black actors. (My dad acts in TV/Film/and stage and the good parts aren't written for us.)

The only song I could tolerate from the first album was the "Heaven" song (I forget the exact title), so I doubt I'll like anything on the second. Nice voice, shit material. WHERE have all the songwriters gone question
