DA-PROFESSOR'S FAVORITE COMEBACKS OF 2011
2011 was a memorable year for many recording artist, who made great comebacks, and gaining a new legion of fans, while maintaining ties with their longtime fans, who have kept their legacies alives. Here is my list.
1. CHRIS BROWN-SINGER/SONGWRITER/ACTOR
Since the incident with his jealous ex Rhianna, many have written Chris Brown off, by banning his music, and dogging him in the press. Well Chris Breezy came back in a big way. First in 2010 he performed a tribute to his Idol Motown Legend Michael Jackson on the BET Awards, then he released two mix tapes. This year, he released his fourth studio album F.A.M.E. which debutted at # 1, and had fans, who were afraid to admit that they loved him, saying his name. He was able to let people know that everybody needs a second chance, and the fans have forgiven him.
2. OAKTOWN'S 357-HIP-HOP LEGENDS AND MC HAMMER'S ORIGINAL BACKGROUND DANCERS
With the creation of You Tube, many fans had expressed their love for Hip-Hop group Oaktown's 357, who had disbanded in 1992. The positive comments, have inspired member Sweet LD to reconnect with her former group members Terrible T and Little P, who had left the group due to being cheated out of money by MC Hammer. The trio did appear on a few live internet radio shows, creating a buzz and interest by fans, who requested that they record some new music. Well Sweet LD and Little P dropped a hot and sexy single titled "Get Up On It" which has been getting good reviews and shows that they haven't lost their touch. They also were (finally) honored in Texas for their contributions to Hip-Hop.
3. MARY WILSON-ORIGINAL SUPREME, MOTOWN LEGEND, BEST SELLING AUTHOR.
For the past decade, original Supreme Mary Wilson has told several journalist that she was working on a new album, leaving many happy and wondering which direction she would go musically. Well Mary's single "Life's Been Good To Me," been getting lots of spins on internet radio, and lots of sales on I-Tunes. With it's positive lyrics and her sultry vocals, Mary is showing the fans and industries, that she's more than a sexy lady and a former background singer.

DA-PROFESSORS FAVORITE VIDEOS OF 2011
1. MARSHA AMBRIOUS-FAR AWAY
This video was sad, touching, innovative and touches on several topics and issues including friendship, homophobia, bullying and suicide. I also loved how the former member of Floerty had two masculine guys rocking Urban gear (fitted caps, baggy jeans and timberlands) as oppossed to using overly flamboyant guys to play a gay couple. The sad yet touching part of the video is the message that she wrote talking about how she lost a friend to sucide, and to accept alternative lifestyles. This video became a hit with the Gay Community and many ignorant homophobes were pissed at her for winning awards for this song, but like she said in the video's message, If I saved one life, I have done my job.
2. FARRAD-THE WAY YOU DO.
Fun, energetic, colorful, and creative is how I can describe this video by this talented singer/songwriter/dancer. The video matches the song's 50's 60's feel with graphics, wardrobe that echos, I Dream of Jeanie, Bewitched, Happy Days, Motown and The Jackson 5. The fun part of the video is when Farrad is dancing with lifeless body dressed with prep sweaters, jeans and leather jackets. Every dance video doesn't have to be in the club all the time.
3. AMBITION-SHE WANNA
Pretty Ricky's second former lead singer Ambition has been on his grind, and working hard to put Pittsburg on the music map, and he's done a great job by coming up with a hot video that showcases, his dancing skills, and his sensual and sexy sides. This video features him leading a group of friends on motorcycles to a club, that has people dancing, chilling, but the video begins to get hot when he sees an sexy lady, who captures his eye and sensing that she's not happy with her man, he has a White female stripper inform her that he wants to talke to her. As she attempts to approach him, her man tries to grab her, but he has his security intervene, and she goes into a private room, for prvate party with him and White Chick and later leads into a video preview of his single "Under Ya Skin" and his single "You Know What I'm Saying" His video echos The Isley Brothers/Angela Winbush video "Floating On Your Love," but unlike the video where Lil' Kim confronts Mr. Biggs for standing her up, Ambition is seen dancing with the lady he stole. I loved how Ambition casted a Dark-skinned lady to be the lead and main object for the video, but it would have been hotter had they kissed at the end.
4. CHRIS BROWN-SHE AINT YOU
Michael Jackson has influenced many people in the industry including Chris Brown, who the late Motown legend spoke very highly of in his interview with Ebony Magazine. Well Chris has been paying homage to Jackson in his concerts, by performing medleys of Jackson's hits, and at many awards shows including the 2010 BET Awards, which is an event everybody still talks about. Well Brown finally paid the ulitmate tribute with his video "She Ain't You" which features the sexy singer performing various moves and poses that made Jackson famous, as well as donning fedoras, and suits in various colors and background that were used in Jackson's Thriller and Ghost short films. The cheorgraphy is great and it makes you think you're watching a MJ video. I loved how he wrote a tribute to him at the beginning, which shows he true love for the King of Pop.
5. LESTER GREENE-RUSSIAN ROULETTE
Gay Rapper Lester Greene is known for making cutting edge music. Well the video he did for this song was also innovative in a way; he had Out Hip-Hop producer Swanny River as the lead, which was a bold and good move being how many in the Gay community tend to shun Gays who are large and full-figured. Especially the Black and Latinos. While the video was short and deals with a guy creeping on his wife with a man, the video did had some great shots and edits, that makes the viewers tune in to see what's gonna happen next as well as hit replay to see if they missed anything.
6. KAOZ-KEEP IT HUMAN
Kaoz has been doing music and video that has gone agains the grain, but for his single "Keep It Human" he decided to do a video that is simple, yet empowering and creative. The clips of the mother having dinner with her daughter adds elements of humanity and love along with the mural of the a Black family together shows unity along with the clips of Kaoz and an Asian Guy (sepeartely) holding signs that reads that encouraes viewers to stay strong and to strive for excellence.
7. SHORTY ROC-I'M A RAPPER.
When Out award winning Rapper Shorty Roc decided to film a video for his single "I'm A Rapper" it should have come as no suprise, that he chosed to film it in Downtown Brooklyn, an section where many legendary rappers like Big Daddy Kane and Biz Markie would battle and freestyle and it's also the place where many rappers and authors be be grinding to get sales, which is what he incoporated into the video, which features Roc and producer Swanny River out selling CD's and showing those who copped them watching his video on the internet pleased with the product they brought. The close ups captures his hard and sexy sides.

R&B SINGER GIVES HOLIDAY CLASSIC A SOUFUL FEELING
NOEL GOURDIN
FIRST NOEL
TOP NOTCH MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT
For decades, many singers have recorded Christmas singles and albums, and it shouldn't come as a surprise that Soul singer/songwriter Noel Gourdin would be jump on Santa's sled and record a holiday tune to get music in the holdiay spirit. His rendition of "First Noel" has a nice souful, jazzy Gospel feel, courtesy of the drums, horns, strings and electric guitar, which also adds elements of blues to the classic. Gourdin also blesses the tricks with his southern Gospel trained and flavored voice, which sounds rich and make listeners feel like they are at church on Christmas Eve and/or at a Christmas play on Broadway.
Gourdin did a wonderful good on this classic and I know that many fans will be playing this while opening their gifts and sipping on Egg Nog.
