Questlove Q&A w/ Billboard [VIDEO]

Speeakz — Fri, 07 May 2010 22:01:24 +0000

Yesterday Questlove of the legendary Roots crew sat down with Billboard for an indepth Q&A – peep part 1 up top and then parts 2-5 after the jump. Also, peep the last video where he gives one lucky person a chance to win a signed drumhead.

As a maaaaaaasssshoooosive Roots fan and of course, Questlove fan, I’m about to press play on this myself – so, can’t comment too tough on what he talks about, but you know who this is? This guy is always mad interesting to listen to. Enjoy.

Peace, Love & Questlove

Christina Aguilera Performs “Not Myself Tonight” On Oprah [VIDEO]

Speeakz — Fri, 07 May 2010 21:35:59 +0000

I don’t get why folks are hating on this track? She sounds incredible on it, don’t ever get it twisted, Miss Aguilera is one of the best singers of our generation. She’s been working it out for over 10 years and of course, new artists have come through – but that’s ok? I never understood when people act like there isn’t enough room for everyone? It’s ok to like GaGa AND Rihanna AND Christina AND Beyonce – you don’t have to choose.

…Great performance.

Peace, Love & Christina Aguilera

Ra-Re Valverde – “Because” [VIDEO]

I fondly remember meeting Ra-Re Valverde in London back in 2008 – at the time PinBoard was still a fledging blog and Miss Valverde blessed us with some time for an interview. We had a great chat covering just about everything – music, life, relationships, the future and more – if you haven’t already, take a dive into our archives and read the interview.

…But back to the subject at hand – Ra-Re sent over her brand new video for a new track called “Because” – a stirring, haunting track featuring Valverde’s distinguishable vocals. I re-visit her debut album frequently, simply because I adore her voice so much – this track is a departure from what is featured on A Beautiful Mess – it’s a good departure, I’m loving this.

Peace, Love & Ra-Re Valverde

Kelly Rowland: “[Me & Beyonce] Don’t Hate Each Other”

Speeakz — Fri, 07 May 2010 08:43:44 +0000

Pretty sure all this talk of Bey and Kelly disliking each other started on some gossip blog, but Kelly felt the need to defend her friendship with her fellow DC-3 members saying “we don’t hate each other”. The reporter mentioned Beyonce releasing her new (unexpected) video just as Rowland dropped her new single – to which she replied “everyone’s putting stuff out, Ciara puts something out, GaGa puts something out”.

…Not buying this supposed beef to be honest. Some people are saying “they haven’t been seen together for months now” – erm, I don’t see some of my friends for weeks at a time – thank goodness we have something called – the phone! They might not be in the same place, but that’s not to say they’re not speaking? Really. But then, on the flipside, you never know what goes on behind closed doors, but for now – I remain blissfully optimistic lol.

Peace, Love & Kelly Rowland

Common Interviews Queen Latifah In 60 Seconds [VIDEO]

This is kinda cute – Common interviews Queen Latifah in 60 Seconds, asking random questions like “investigate a creepy sound or hell nah” lol. These two have a great chemistry, cool to see two Hip Hop greats getting along and having so much fun together. I think I may check out their new movie “Just Wright” – may.

Peace, Love, Common & Queen Latifah

Behind the Scenes: Kelly Rowland – “Commander” [VIDEO]

Speeakz — Thu, 06 May 2010 20:20:27 +0000

Rap-Up TV goes behind the scenes of Kelly Rowland’s “Commander” video where she discusses the concept behind the video and some of the looks she’s going for. Rowland’s new single, produced by Satan himself David Guetta is currently generating a lot of buzz online with pretty much everyone reacting positively to it.

…I’m definitely happy that Kelly is getting the kudos she needs and while I was definitely one of the sceptic’s impressed with the new single, I still can’t get behind this euro-pop/dance sound she’s going for. I like the single, but would I ever buy it? Nope. Would I buy an album like it? Nope. Kelly sounds great on “Commander”, no doubt, but there’s absolutely no denying she sounds a billion times better on an R&B track. I pray someone does an R&B/Hip Hop remix of this track – now that would be fire.

Peace, Love & Kelly Rowland
