Now after how many years I can officially say that the highly anticipated J. Cole album was most definitely worth the wait. The album is kicked off with an Intro, which begins with Jermaine Cole reminiscing on the day he was signed and drifts into is a very subtle composition where he raps about finally making it to this point. Now if you know anything about Jermaine Cole he’s the first signing to the Roc Nation label by Jay-Z himself. For the longest time I’ve been an avid follower, listener and fan of J. Cole, from his first mixtape ‘The Come Up’ Cole had many people in awe of the concepts he addressed from there to now, this album clearly shows the transition and you can see and hear his growth on his released album.

29th November 2010 – the date of the last Eargasms post, a weekly post which I started during the first week of Y&Y‘s launch. I had to give it up as the post took 3-4 hours to construct and I just didnt’t have that time any more with university so the post series was eventually locked away into the Y&Y b. It’s time to wipe off the dust and bring it back in a new format. 5 of our favourite songs from the week, each song hand picked by a member of the family. Let’s get things started then, hop on after the cut.

Chris Brown is this weeks feature however it is a track from his latest album F.A.M.E that i have selected. Honestly I have two tracks that immediately spring to mind but i’m only going to post the one, who knows maybe in a future SWC i’ll post it if it hasn’t been released. As this song is taken from his current album there is still a possibility of it getting a release however due to its explicit nature I find it and unlikely event. ‘Wet The Bed’ is a perfect example of the growth that Brown has made. Obviously when he first hit the scene we didn’t expect such a song s he was still a minor but as he has grown in age his music has too which is a good thing. Trey Songz sings about sex in nearly all of his songs yet for some reason hasn’t yet made many tracks of this nature that can rival this song or a previous sex related song from Brown tilted ‘Take You Down’. As Brady mentioned in his F.A.M.E album review (see here) this song is a grown up version of Take You Down, take a listen below.

Ya’ll must be thinking WTF? He’s not been around long enough to warrant a Throwback Thursdays post. Well I feel his debut album (2004!) was overlooked by many and most of these stans only showed up after he hit the gym and started singing about sex all the time. He had a bit more variety in his earlier albums, the first will always be one of my favourites. It’s just so raw and refreshing when I first listened to it back in ’04, I never knew blogs existed and didn’t use music forums. I always used Amazon and checked ‘similar artists’ for new music to torrent. Fact: I left my PC on for 3 days to download the ‘I Gotta Make It‘ album. So after the cut for songs from the album before Trey made it.

I’m sorry for being late again with this post! it has been almost 3 weeks since my last Eargasms but working life really took over my life. I’m switching it up this time as I’ve picked an alternative song to headline the post. I heard this song in GANT Rugger‘s lookbook video and instantly fell in love. That song and many more after the cut.

Rumours have been running rife as of late concerning the management of the delectable Beyonce Knowles. According to earlier reports Mathew Knowles (dad of Beyonce) has been relieved of his duties as her manager and just last week it was reported that husband Jay-Z was to take charge of his wife’s career.
