SOUTHERN BOY FINDS THINGS TO DO AND BOOTY TO BANG IN HOT FLICK

HOME ALONE
STARRING: JOVANNIE, CARLITO, DOMINIC, DRE, NUBIUS, SHORTY J, JUNE & REMY MARS
PRODUCED & DIRECTED BY MARVIN JONES
(IMPORTANT!! THIS IS AN ADULT FILM AND BOTH THE FILM AND REVIEW ARE FOR VIEWERS 18 YEARS OF AGE OF OLDER SO PLEASE VIEW WITH DISCRETION!)

Being left along has many pros and cons. The pros are being able to relax, catch up on some overdue work and spending quality time by yourself. The cons are not being to satisfy yourself your partner sexually, leaving one to rely on adult films, magazines, self pleasure and having flings. Especially if a couple has an open relationship. That’s the theme of “Home Alone” the starring Jovannie, who turns out all the guys in this release so well that viewers will have problems deciding what scene to bust.
Besides his huge dick, and gold teeth, I also loved how Jovannie showcases his Southern roots by introducing himself to his partners along with tearing their asses up.
The film begins with Jovannie answering his apartment door wearing a towel and letthing the plumber played by Carlito in to fix the hot water pipe. While Carlito is in the bathroom fixing the plumbing, Jovannie lies on his bed, lights and smoke a blunt while playing with his huge (and I do mean huge) dick. While he’s in his zone, Carlito comes out the bathroom, slowly unzips his jumpsuit and watches his customer, who becomes embarrassed and decides to apologize, but Carlito isn’t bothered.
“My bad. Is it fixed?”
“Yeah but I’ve been fixing the wrong pipe.” Carlito replies before he begins to suck Jovannie’s dick, which turns them both on
“You know how to fix that pipe nigga” Jovannie say before Carilto asks if he can take off his clothes and take a hit of the blunt. After getting undressed, he climbs into the bed and continues sucking Jovannie off before he sits on his dick.
“Ah shit. This is a big dick” he says before he rides it.
“You like that shit nigga” Jovannie asks
“I’m loving that shit” Carlito replies
“After riding it for a few minutes, Carlito asks Jovannie to let him get on his knees and that’s when he lets the beast out by fucking and slapping Carlito’s ass.
“Take this shit” he says before he slaps the side of his ass hard. After a few more strokes, Jovannie fucks the plumber missionary style and makes him lose control and says his name.
“Say my name” Jovannie demands while he’s pounding his insides out forcing Carlito to bust a creamy load on his stomach.
Scene two starts off with Jovannie dressed in a fitted cap, vest and shirt speaking to City Bwoi about receiving a package from UPS, which fades into Jovannie answering the door and was surprised to see his friend Dominic working for UPS. Domnic was also surprised to see Jovannie was home alone
“Yeah” he says while rubbing his chest
“I get off in five minutes” Dominic replies as Jovannie leads him into the bedroom, where Dominic asks him what time is it
“You know what time it is”
“Let’s get it popping>“
Dominic wastes no time sucking on Jovannie’s southern sausage, which turns him on
“That’s some good mother fucking head B” Jovannie says while Dominic deep throats him.
Then they both climb in the middle of the bed, where Dominic continues to use his hot tongue to suck his ball and eat his ass as an attempt to get him open to fuck him, but Jovannie lets him know that though he enjoys getting his ass ate, he’s going to be the one doing the fucking, and within a matter of seconds, he has Dominic on his knees taking his dick before laying him on his back and fucking him so hard that he has him moaning and speaking in Spainish. In this scene, viewers will see Jovannie’s ability to move from power fucking to grinding, which adds sensuality to his performance.
“You loving this dick?” he asks
“Can’t you tell” Dominic replies seductively.
After sucking him off Jovanne busts on his face and asks him where is his package.

Scene 3 is what I call the pissed off I’m gonna fuck anybody any where scene. Jovannie is on his cell asking Citi Bwoi when is coming back home, because he has to leave town for business, and he becomes pissed to learn that Bwoi’s trip has been unexpectedly delayed at the last minute, which means that they won’t see each other for another three weeks. Then there’s a knock on the door, and let’s Dre who’s there to check on his cable enters, and no sooner then they enter the bedroom, Jovanne, still pissed at Citi’s unexpected delay, enters the room wearing nothing but a towel and do-rag, slowly closes the door, lays on the bed and whips out his dick.
“You think you can fix this” he asks
“Oh I think I can fix that” Dre replies before he hops on his knees and suck Jovannie off very slowly while Jovannie throat fucks him and asks him to get out his clothes before he has him on his stomach and begins to grind and kiss him adding a little sensual and intimacy which prepares him for the hot sex action
Jovannie manages to stick his dick inside Dre who has trouble taking it at first
“Don’t try to run from this shit” he says as he tries to insert it
Jovannie manages to fuck him doggy style before hitting him from behind while they’re both standing up on the bed where Jovannie pounds him to the point of him asking him to chill out so he can get on his back, but later changes his mind and goes back to fixing the cable box leaving Jovannie to wonder did he do anything wrong.
Jovannie heads to a sex spot where he finds Nubius laying on the bed naked and waited for some action. After introducing themselves and giving each other pounds, Nubius gets off the bed, lifts Jovannie up in the air, lays him on the bed, takes off his pants and boxer briefs and begins to suck him off, and before you know it, Jovannie has Nubius on his knees screaming and being submissive (I love to see big sexy muscular guys getting fucked by slender sexy guys) while he’s getting fucked and having his ass slapped making Numbius scream his name. Known for being a bad boy in previous flicks, Nubius tells him he wants to ride his dick, but has second thoughts when he realizes how big it is, but Jovannie refuses to let him cop out. Nubius manages to rides it while Jovannie slaps his ass, and makes him gets on his back where he has his legs spread out all over the bed and wears him out to the point where neither gets the chance to bust.
While Jovannie is stoking his joint, Philadelphia native Shorty J enters the room wearing a down coat, brown do-rag, and jeans, eager to get his rocks off. After introducing themselves, Shorty wastes no time sucking of Jovannie who tells him to get out his clothes and the short muscular star doesn’t hesitate. While he’s sucking him off he stands on top of him and models off his short and muscular physique before he sits on his dick and decides to give him a little competition by having a Pretty Ricky moment by grinding on him, but Jovannie reminds him who’s the head dawg in the room and he fucks him to the point where Shorty forgets Jovannie’s name
“Jovannie. Say it nigga” he says as
Frustrated, he has Shorty on his knees while hits him from the back and forces Shorty to take his dick after he pulls away from it. Then he has him on his back and pounds him like a mad man before having him on his side where he’s able to go deep inside
“Hit that shit baby” J says before he gets on his back, and after getting fucked a few times, realizes he’s unable to take Jovannie’s dick, but Jovannie decides to get rough by grabbing his neck, and pound harder to the point where Shorty has to tell him he can’t take no more.
After taking off his do-rag, Jovannie tries to shoot a load, when June another Latin hottie enters the room, and begins sucking him off while Jovannie begins to rub his nice sized ass adding sensuality to the scene.
“Get out those clothes so I can see what you working with” he says
June wastes no time in getting naked, and getting in the middle of the bed, where he sucks Jovannie off like a wild man by licking the side and tip of his dick before he jumps on top Jovannie where they participate in frottage (dry humping) while Jovannie slaps his ass. He then fucks June on his side, who surprisingly is able to take Jovannie’s large tool, and unlike Nubius and Shorty J, June doesn’t complain. Yeah moans and groans, but enjoys to the point of coming while he’s being fucked missionary style.
Jones saved the best and hottest scene for last. Jovannie returns the following day and as he begins to take off his sneakers and jeans, Chocolate Cream’s famous and popular bottom Remy Mars rushes into the room wearing and white T and blue jeans excited.
:I’m just here to get a quickie before work” he says before he starts giving Jovannie head, and tells him how he wants him to fuck him, and as in all his films, Mars take it like a man, screaming and moaning in esctacy while Jovannie throws his legs up and tells him to say his name before Mars tells him to fuck him on his side, where Jovannie fucks him to the point of him moving away at times
“You’re fucking the shit out of me” he says Jovannie is tearing his ass up and once again, viewers see Jovannie’s sexual skills, where he fucks Mars in various speeds, while Mars gives him a little completion by grinding, causing Jovannie to have a Destiny’s Child moment of keeping up with him. Especially when he has him on his stomach screaming loud enough to wake up the whole city.
“You want me to fuck that nut you”
“Yeah. Let me suck that nut out you” Mars replies before he sucks Jovannie off while he jerks his dick.

“Home Alone” is a hot flick, that had some nice shots that captured the expressions of the guys Jovannie was fucking, but it would have been hotter had Jovannie would have kiss Remy. Especially since he had his lips on his neck when he had him on the bed but all in all it’s a hot film to watch when you want to have a sexual session with yourself.

YOUNG KIDD TAKES IT LIKE A MAN IN STARRING ROLE

DIXX ARE FOR KIDD
STARRING KIDD, ROCK (1), DOMINIC, CARLITO, JOVANNIE & CITI BWOI (PRONOUNCED CITY BOY)
PRODUCED & DIRECTED BY MARVIN JONES
(IMPORTANT!! THIS IS AN ADULT FILM AND THIS FILM AND REVIEW ARE FOR READERS AGES 18 AND OVER SO READ AT YOUR DISCRETION)

Have you ever heard the saying “I felt like a kid in a candy store?” That’s how I describe adult film star Kidd’s performance in the film “Dixx Are For Kidd” which is about a hot dude who enjoys getting fucked, and isn’t afraid or ashamed to be a bottom who likes to please and be pleased by the guys who turn his ass out.
The film begins with Kidd going to Rock (1)’s apartment wearing a black tank top and jeans apologizing for showing up late for their hook up.
“I hope you’re ready for his dick” Rock (1) says while stroking his dick.
“Yo I’m about to show the kid don’t play” Kidd replies as he takes of his jeans and sucks his dick which has the Chocolate Cream legend being dominant by telling Kidd how to suck his dick the right way, but Kidd decides to suck him off his own way by being more aggressive.
“I’m tired of just sucking and playing with this dick” he says before Rock decides to fuck him slowly and slap his ass very hard before he begins to fuck him hard to the point of Kidd screaming in a high falsetto voice.
“Good ass mother fucking dick” is that dick for me
“Yeah” Rock says he smacks his ass before he fucks him with his left leg on the bed. Realizing that it was too much to take, Kidd takes charge and tell Rock to fuck him on his back, and once again, Rock fucks him so hard that he screams in higher octaves and busts a creamy load.
Scene 2 is one of the best scenes of the film. Kidd bumps into newcomer Dominic in the street, and tells him how hot looking he is and invites him to his crib to watch some porn DVD’s but when he gets there, he’s shocked to learn that Kidd is going to turn him own manually, and he doesn’t resist Kidd sucking his dick, who sucks him off to the point where Dominic gets comfortable and takes off his hoodie, lifts up his grey t-shirt and sits on the chair
“I knew you was going to enjoy this.” Kidd says
“Wifey never gave me nothing like this” Dominic replies.
They both get undresses (with Dominic keeping his fitted cap on) and lay on the bed where Kidd sucks him off before Dominic decides to have his first piece of ass.
“Wifey’s shit never look this good” Dominic says before he fucks Kidd doggy style while speaking Spanish. Dominic then tell Kidd to lay on his back so he can fuck him deeper, and lets the beast comes out by fucking Kidd so hard that the bed and apartment door shakes.
“Gimme that Dominican dick nigga” Kidd says while Dominic has his legs pinned to his chest forcing him to shoot a watery load all over his chest, while Dominic continues to enjoy his first piece of ass by fucking him harder, forcing Kidd to tell him to bust.
Scene 3 is one of the hottest scene in this flick. It features Kidd going to Carlito’s apartment to listen to music and hang out. While Carlito’s in the kitchen fixing him a drink, Kidd grabs his dick while opening and closing his legs. When Carlito returns, and asks him if he wanted to listen to music, Kidd lets him know that he’s not there to listen to music; he’s there to get some dick and Carlito gladly gives him what he wants, by allowing Kidd to unzip his pants and suck his dick. Seeing that they’re both getting pleasure, Carlito tells Kidd to get out his clothes, lays on the couch and have Kidd finish giving him a blow job before he decides to eat his ass, which has Kidd hotter than the heat wave New York had in 2005.
After slapping his ass with his huge dick, Carlito puts his condom covered dick inside and begins to fuck him slowly
“This is what you want?” Carlito asks
“Yeah. I want all that dick” Kidd replies.
Carlilo begins to fuck him, and he fucks him so well that he had Kidd saying “I want you to make love to his ass nigga.” After showing off his grinding skills, Cartlito lays Kidd on the couch and begins to kiss him all over his body bringing intimacy and sensuality to the scene and his performance, and while Kidd enjoys the four play, he develops an appetite for Carlito’s dick, and though he loves being passionate, Carlito decides to fuck him on his back and on his knees, where during the latter position, he has Kidd bend over on the arm of the couch moaning
“I want that fucking nut” Kidd screams
“You want this nut nigga? Tell me where you want it.”
“On my chest”

The film ends with new comer Citi Bwoi brining Kidd into his bedroom, where’s he surprised to see his partner Jovannie laying on the bed chillin’.
“This is my peoples” he says
“He’s cool”
“I’m gonna show you that dicks are for kids” Kidd says before he climbs into the bed and begins sucking both of their dicks with Jovannie competing for more head game from Kidd who doesn’t have any problems submitting to his commands. A few minutes later, Bwoi is standing behind him admiring and slapping Kidd’s ass and before you know it, he puts on a condom, and fucks Kidd
“You said you like dick nigga” he says while he’s fucking him
“I love that shit” Kidd says while he’s getting fucked and sucking going down on Jovannie, who get his verbal action by telling Kidd to suck his dick in a thick and undeniable southern accent, while looking down at him. After Bwoi mentions how good his ass is, Jovannie begins to fuck him while Kidd sucks Bwoi off, but some strange reason, Jovannie isn’t satisfied so he gets pissed, and decides to have Kidd suck both them off with Jovannie feeing for more head before they both stand up and bust on Kidd who says “Silly rabbit. Dicks are for kids!

This film was ok; it had some hot moments except for the last scene, which I expected to be hotter since Kidd was getting fuck by too hot guys. It would have been better if they were in different positions, and if the oral parts was a bit longer. Maybe that would have made the scene hotter, but over all it was a good film, and I’m looking forward to seeing more of Kidd taking dick like a man.

MARIAH CONTINUES CONQUERING CHARTS WHILE MAKING HISTORY


When singer/songwriter Mariah Carey's single "Touch My Body" topped the Pop charts, she became tied with The Beatles with being the second act to have the most number one hits behind Elvis Presley. That led fans to wonder how good would her album "E=MC2" would be; she didn't leave anybody disappointed. She cooked up a nice album with some hot dance songs, and soulful ballads that will be played at clubs and in the bedroom. Since adding Hip-Hop and R&B to her Pop flavored songs, Carey's record sales and fan base had increased, and with her latest release debuting at number one, it looks like she doesn't plan on slowing down.
Serving as co-executive producer, Carey wrote and produced the CD with Nate "Danji" Hills, C. Tricky Stewart, Terrin "The Dream" Nash (Rhianna), Scott Storch (Kelly Rowland, 50 Cent), Stargate (Ne-Yo, Lionel Richie), Swizz Beats and longtime collaborators Jermaine Dupri and Manuel Seal, who were responsible for helping her now-classic release "The Emancipation of Mimi" become the number one album of 2005.
The album opens with "Migrate" which has hot flutes, beats, and featuring Carey singing mid and low ranges, as well as T-Pain singing in his trademark computer voice also showcases his natural singing voice, which sounds good. Her latest top charting single "Touch My Body" has great strings, and sexy, hip lyrics about keeping a private sexual encounter private.

Cause if you run your mouth
and brag about this secret rendevous
I will hunt you down
Cause they will be up in my face
Like a Wendy interview
But this is private
Between you and I.

"Cruise Control" has a hot Dancehall/Reggae groove thanks to the guitar, keyboards, Damian Marley's smooth chanting and Carey singing in a soulful/Reggae style. It would have been hotter had it been recorded as a duet, but we know that Mimi will have some hot ass remixes for this one. "I Stay In Love" is a nice ballad furthering demonstrating Carey's ability to sing lower mid ranges. In addition to the classy piano riffs, the song has touching lyrics that sounds like an answer to New Edition's "Rewrite The Memories" while the Hip-Hop flavored "Side Effects" has Carey singing the trials and tribulations she went through during her marriage to former Sony Music CEO Tommy Mottola, who was controling her image and sound and how she had to break away to save herself. Co-penned and produced with Storch, the song has hot rock guitar riffs, and a hot verses by Young Geezy, who gives the song an edge. (A perfect way to get back at her ex-husband, who didn't like her adding Hip-Hop and R&B to her song). This song will help those who are recovering from being in abusive relationships.
"I'm That Chick" has a funky bass, and features Carey singing the bridge from former labelmate Michael Jackson's 1980 hit "Off The Wall" in a sexy and soulful tone. A great song for the kids to groove to at clubs along with "O.C.C." which further showcases her sensual side and Latin heritage. Though the song should have been longer, it has hot beats, horns, and samples from the Salsoul Orchestra's classic "It's Good For The Soul" as well as sexy vocal harmony by her and Da Brat, who co-wrote this song with her best friend.
"Love Story" is a nice and soulful ballad that captures phrasing and ability to hit low notes as well as sing harmony. A great song for Gay and Hetero couples to play at weddings and anniversaries, along with "I'll Be Loving U Long Time' which contains samples of Debarge's classic hit "Stay With Me."
My personal favorite song on the CD is "For The Record" one of the most creative song Mariah has recorded to date. She puts her all in this heartfelt ballad that sounds like the long awaited sequal to her 1992 # 2 hit "Can't Let Go." Co-written and produced with Bryan Michael Cox, the song has beautiful strings, keyboards, live breaks during the first verse and lyrics featuring her classic hits. It also features her singing mid and low ranges during the lead, while she hits her trademark whistling high note in the background.

For the record
You'll always be a part of me
No matter what you do
For the record
Can't nobody say I didn't give "My all" to you
And for the record
I told you "Underneath the stars" that
You "belong to me"
And for the record
It's obvious that we just "can't let go" of us. "Honey"
Cause when I'm looking in your eyes
Feels like the first
Give me one good reason why
We can't just press rewind
I don't wanna spend my life
Thinking what it could have been like
If we had another try
One time
Back in the day
That look on your face
Still love you boy
Feels like the first time.

A grammy award in recommended for this song!

Her current single "Bye Bye" is a great touching song about dealing with the pain of losing a loved one and honoring their memories. Though it's a sad song, but it has an upbeat beat and smooth soulful vocals and it will be played at funerals and memorial services.
The CD closes with the inspirational "I wish You Well" which Carey co-wrote with longtime background vocalist Maryann Tatum, who adds old school Gospel harmony to the songs along with the piano performance and spoken passages by Bishop Clearance Keaton.

Mariah Carey came back with a nice album that showcased her ability to sing different ranges as oppossed to using her trademark high notes that made her famous in 1990, and with the rate she's going, she's going to be around for another decade while other females artist relies on gimmicks to have hit records.

FLASHBACK REVIEW: MISS JANET'S CLASSIC ALBUM



FLASHBACK: MISS JANET’S SEDUCTIVE AND CLASSIC RELEASE

JANET JACKSON
JANET
1993 VIRGIN RECORDS
5+

In 1990, Janet Jackson became a household name and a legend in her own right. Her social conscious album “Rhythm Nation 1814” was named the # 1 album of the year and made her the only female artist to have seven top five Pop hits from one album. A record that has yet to be broken. The success of the album earned her a recording deal from Virgin Records close to $50 million dollars, making her the biggest paid female artists at that time.. After taking tine off to relax and star in her film debut, Janet went into the studio with long time collaborators Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis to co-write and produce her debut for Virgin, which not only became her third # 1 album, it also began her long association with the gay community, who began to play her music along with other R&B, and Hip-Hop artists. The album also showcased her growth as an artist with her following the path that Motown legend Marvin Gaye left by having a social conscious album followed by an tasteful, sensual release. “Janet was about a confident sexy woman in touch with her feminine side” Producer Jimmy Jam said in the Billboard Books of Number Ones. “That was what she was feeling at that time, so our job was to enhance that,”
“The pressure was to start of Janet with a bomb” Jackson told author David Ritz in the liner notes of “Design of a Decade” when asked why she chose to release “That’s The Way Love Goes” as the first single. “But I wanted to slide through the door real quietly. This song just sorta sucked you in..” The single did more than suck me in; it was constantly playing in my walkman (I actually brought the tape the day before it came out at Bondy’s Music, a famous record store that used to sell tapes and CD’s the day before the actual release date), and to honor the 15 anniversary of this release, I decided to relive the moments where I began to appreciate Miss Janet even more than I previous did.
“Janet” opens with a morning, a spoken work into where she speaks about the beauty of love, which smoothly fades into the Grammy Award winning classic “That’s The Way Love Goes” which has a nice smooth flowing Jazzy soulful feel courtesy of the guitars, bass, drums, seductive lyrics, vocals call and response with herself and sampling of James Brown’s 1974 “Papa Don’t Take No Mess.” This is followed by “You Want This” which has hot beats, piano riffs, smooth harmony from Janet, and samples from The Supremes’ classic “Love Child.” “If” is a highlight in her concerts. What makes this song hot are the rock intro, piano riffs, Janet’s seductive rapping and harmony and the intro of Diana Ross & The Supremes’ 1969 farewell hit “Someday, We’ll be Together” sampled into the intro and middle of the song. A hot song to play when you’re on top of your partner while having sex. Janet showcases her sassy side on the Country-Operatic “This Time” with Opera legend Kathleen Battle, who’s fierce vocals give the song dramatic along with the guitar, percussion, strings and fierce lyrics. Especially during the bridge.

“This time
I’m not gonna stay
This time
I must get away
This time
You’ve gone too far
I’m not gonna stay
This Time
You’ve got to pay
This Time
You’ve gone to far
Walking around with nasty hoes
Tellin’ me that’s the way love goes
Well baby you’ve gone too far
Tellin’ me I’m not that strong
Watch me walk through that door.

“Throb” is a hot house song that still has kids striking poses and dipping at Gay functions. In addition to her soulful vocals, the song has hot beats, saxophone riffs, and features Janet seductive ad-libs. She also cuts loose vocally on the Rock song “What I’ll Do” which she co-produced with Jellybean Johnson that still has Rock fans bobbing their heads along with the beat, organ and vocals by member of the Gospel group Sounds of Blackness. “Funky Big Band” is one of my favorites song on this release. It’s a cool way to pay homage to musicians who played real instruments, and rocked a crowd with their musicianship, which has bass lines and horn riffs that most of today’s artist sample today.
Public Enemy’s Chuck D joins Janet on the Hip-Hop flavored “New Agenda” which tackles sexism and racism. What gives this song fire are the beats, horn riffs, Chuck’s powerful ad-libs and flow during the bridge and the lyrics.
(Don’t be surprised is Michelle Obama uses as her theme song when she becomes the first Black First lady).
“Because of Love” is a cute love song, that has cute lyrics and bass, but it’s not my cup of tea.
“Again” is a beautiful ballad from a her film “Poetic Justice” that’s another concert favorite. It features Janet giving a heartfelt vocal performance in front of an orchestra that was conducted by
“Where Are You Know” is a great mid-tempo ballad that showcases Jackson’s ability to sing high and low ranges as well as harmony.
The CD closes with the hot “Anytime, Anyplace” which began to shed her kid sister image. This hot ballad has a sexy old school feel thanks the to the saxophone, breaks, and Janet’s vocal performance which features her singing low and high ranges.
Dancin’ on the floor
Feeling the slow groove
My mind is startin’ to burn
With forbidden thoughts
Strangers all around
With the lights down low
I was thinking may we
Could…well…you know
I don’t wanna stop just because
People standin’ ‘round within’ us
I don’t give a damn what they think
I want you know
I don’t wanna stop just because
You feel so good inside of my love
I’m not gonna stop no, no, no
I want you all I wanna say is
Any time , any place
I don’t care’s who’s around’

This CD is still hot as it was when it was first released 15 years ago. Miss Janet was able to take her fans into her creative mind and world with this classic release, and she was able to provide some great music for both the hetero and gay community to listen to in the clubs, and in the bedroom.

Some known and unknown facts about the album

1.when it came time to Janet to record her debut for Virign, her and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis wrote about the concept of what the album should be, and discovered they were on the same page.

2. As noted earlier, Virgin wanted "If" to be released as the first single to capitalize on Janet's dancing talent, but she and her co-writers and producers refused. They felt that releasing the mid-tempo ballad "That's The Way Love Goes" would be a great introduction to the album as opposed to killing the opporunity by coming up with a dance song, and they were right. The album debut at number one, and the single debuted a 14, then topped the Pop charts for 7 weeks, earning Janet her second Grammy Award.

3. Janet fulfilled her dream of working with Oprea legend Kathleen Battle, who performs on the song "This Time." In a 1993 documentary, Janet said that she first saw Battle at the 1987 Grammy Awards, and she was captivated by her beauty, but when she heard her perform, she knew she wanted to work with her.

4. Janet had tied Aretha Franklin's record of being the female with the most gold singles when "Anytime, Anyplace" became her 15th gold single in 1994.

5. The album had released 7 singles, and "Where Are You Know" was scheduled to be the eight single to be released, but Janet decided to record the duet "Scream" with brother Michael, which made them the first musical relatives to have a single debut in the top 5 on the Pop, R&B and Dance charts.

6. The biggest selling single of the album was "That's The Way Love Goes," which was based on a sample of James Brown's 1974 hit "Papa Don't Take No Mess." It became a favorite of fans, but at first Janet wasn't too fond of the track. In an interview in the Billboard Books of Number One Hits, Jimmy Jam told he author that he gave Janet a copy of the track to listen to during the Christmas holiday, and when she return, she told him that the track was the bomb. Later on, she called him at 2 in the morning and told him that she had a different idea for the song. She wanted it to be seductive. Not only did the song become a favorite among fans, many music artists listed it as one of their favorite songs.
in 1994,Jazz guitarist Norman Brown did a Jazz version of the song, which earned him a 1995 Soul Train Music Award for Best Jazz Album. Three years, singing group Browwnstone and rapper Heavy D performed the song as a part of a tribute to Janet who was honored with the Lena Horne Award for Acheievement. In 2002, author Daryl C. Diggs use the song as the title of his debut novel

ANOTHER R&B CASSANOVA IN HEAVEN..LEGEDARY O'JAYS' LEADSINGER LOSES ANOTHER SON


In 2006, the music industry was shocked to learn that Gerald LeVert had died. The industry is in greater shock after learning that his young brother Sean had died at the age of 39, leaving a void in the music industry and with the LeVert family.
Sean who had reformed the group LeVert with original member Marc Gordon, was in prison for owing over $80,000 in child support, and according to reports, he was restrained due to irractic behavior, but was later taken to the hospital after telling the security that he was ill, and two or three hours after arrival, he was pronounced deat at the age of 39.
In addition to working on funeral arrangements, the LeVert family has launched an investigation into the death of Sean, who was battling high blood pressure like his brother did.
The youngest son of The O'Jays' lead vocalist and founder Eddie LeVert, Sean had joined his older brother and family friend Marc Gordon in the group LeVert, who signed with Atlantic Records in 1985, and released their first single "Pop, Pop, Pop Goes My Mind." They followed with "Cassonova" which was their biggest selling single to date topping the R&B charts and hitting the top 5 Pop singles charts earning them a Soul Train music Award and an nomination for an American Music Award. The group also scored with "Just Coolin'," "Baby I'm Ready" and "Good Ole Days" before Gerald embarked on a success solo career.

In addition to his parents, Sean also leaves behind three children, a host of cousins, friends and fans who are sadden and shock by his untimely passing.

ANTI-VIOLENCE GROUP PLANS TO HELP TONE DOWN VIOLENCE

Last year I was attending Brooklyn Gay Pride where I was assistanting Rapper Shorty Roc. Shortly after his performace, we were approached by a guy named Sherman who asked us about attending a meeting at Audrey-Lorde. I signed the list and about a month later, I attended my first meeting and I was suprised to learn about SOS a group that helps provides safety measures for many Blacks and Gay/SGL people living in Urban sections of Brooklyn who are surviving to live and avoid being victims of Gay bashing and Police brutality.
I've heard many stories about people in our community being targeted because we're presumed to be weak and soft, but most of today's Gay/SGL have been fighting back and have been expressing their frustrations with the way we've been treated by many ignorant people through blogging and community activism such as protesting and teaching people in the community what to do if they get caught in a violent situation. There have been many, however who haven't been so lucky including Rashawn Brazell and Michael Sandy, who were killed after meeting people online, and while Sandy's killers were sentenced to major jail time, Brazell's killer has yet to be found. They have also been incidents where many people were attacked after leaving clubs such as The Lab and Splash, and when they asked the managers for help, their requests were denined, while police would arrest the people. Especially if they fought their attackers back. One would think that the managers and police would take action to help the victims during their time of need. Especially since they spend their money to go to pay admission to enter the clubs, while their tax-payers money pays the police's salary.
Well SOS is planning on having it's first Summit which will not only be a way of paying homage to our Gay/SGL brothers and sisters. It will also be a way to help the community and police department come together to learn about the issues we deal with on a daily basis and learn how to help each other without adding extra pieces of violence.

MY RETURN AND SHARING HOW DISCUSSION GROUP SEPERATE GAY/SGL BOYS FROM MEN

Hello
Sorry for the delays. Been away taking care of personal things, but I've been hanging and taking life one day and step at a time.
This crazy weather we've been having has been making me have many different mood swings (I wish Mother Nature would be consistant with the weather. Hell, if would be nice if we can have nice weather all year round cuz I'm sick of cold weather though I'm a winter baby).
I managed to attend Derrick L Briggs' monthly discussion and this month's topic was Tops and Bottoms Part 3.
For years, many Gay/SGL men have been labeled for their characteristics and their sex roles and back in the day, most bottoms meaning guys who took dick and got fucked were fememine and flamboyant, while the guys who gave them dick and fucked them were masculine and dominant.
Things have changed.
Most flamboyant men have been fucking men and making them scream like Bitches and the guys who get fucked be forcing the men to fuck them harder and be grinding them to the point where they lose their breaths.
What I got from the discussion is that regardless of who fucks and get fucked, we're still men with dick in between our legs, and that the ones who are secure and comfortable with their sex roles are the ones who seperate the Boys To Men.

KING OF POP STILL THIRLLING FANS WITH RERELEASE AND NEW SUPRISES



When Michael Jackson released his first Post-Motown solo album “Off The Wall,” it became an instant hit, selling ten million copies, making him an international solo star, and the first artist to score four top ten Pop hits from one album, but when he learned that he only earned two Grammy Nominations (an event that even shocked the recording industry), he told his mother Katherine, and his producer Quincy Jones that his next album would be so great that the industry would have no choice to recognize it. Jackson was right. Not only did the follow up “Thriller” released in 1982 become a classic, it still holds the record of being the best selling album of all time, with sales of over 104 million copies world wide.
The album also won numerous awards including eight Grammy Awards including seven American Music Awards and eight Grammy Awards including Album of The Year. The album also showed the industry that Black singers are capable of incorporating all forms of music together that reaches music lovers of all races and generations, which made “Thriller” the classic that it is today. “I always wanted to do music that influences and inspires each generation“ Jackson said in an recent interview with Ebony Magazine. “Let‘s fact it, who wants mortality?” .To celebrate the 25th anniversary of this landmark album, Jackson decided to re-released the classic remastered with some new remixes of his hits by Wil. I. Am, Akon and Kanye West as well as a bonus song that didn’t make the final cut.
The Thriller begins with “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’” a hot dance song that was a highlight in his concert tours. This song has hot beats, percussion, horns, a funky guitar solo by David Williams, lyrics about a jealous person who wants to cause drama to impress people, a hot call and response between Michael and the background vocalist, and the famous African chant that Grammy Award winner Rhianna sampled for her current “Don’t Stop The Music.” This is followed by “Baby Be Mine” a smooth midterm R&B song that has great keyboards and synsersizer performances by Greg Philligannes, and great vocal by Jackson does a great job phrasing, and singing mid and low ranges that blends well with the strings, and horns.
His duet with former Beatle and friend Paul Mc Cartney on “The Girl Is Mine” has a great combination of Pop and R&B showing that both American and British singers have Soul. What makes this song classic are the harmonizing between the legends as well as the spoken dialogue about who would be the better man for the female who captures their eye, while the title track still sounds as good as it does when I first heard it for the first time at the age of twelve. Between the sound effects, bass line taken from Rick James’ 1981 hit “Give It To Me Baby,” the haunting lyrics written by former Heatwave member Rod Temperton, Jackson’s ad-libbing and famous line hee-hee-hee and the haunting rap and laugh by the late Vincent Price, I can see why this is the most played song at Halloween parties.
Michael cuts loose on the Anti-Gang war song “Beat It., one of his first self-penned social conscious and messages songs that would later become many of subjects he would later write and produce. In addition to the lyrics about the consequences of taking part in gang violence, the song has a powerful rhythm section, beats courtesy of the drummer, and rock solo by Eddie Van Halen. “Billie Jean” is another classic and fan favorite that always get spins in clubs, that has people dancing and emulating his routine from the Motown 25 special. What makes this song hot and dramatic are Jackson’s vocals and ad-libs, the bass line and solos by Louis Johnson and Tom Scott, and lyrics dealing with a female claiming that a guy’s the father of her son.
“Human Nature” is a beautiful midterm ballad that has great instrumentation and arrangements by Pop group Toto, and Michael ad-libbing in falsetto, that was later sampled by SWV for the remix of their # 2 hit “Right Here.” “P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)” is my favorite song of the album. Co-written by Quincy Jones & James Ingram, this sexy and funky song has a hot rhythm section, Jackson, Ingram and former Shalamar member Howard Hewitt singing background through a vocoder, as well as sexy call and response between Michael and the female background vocalists including his sisters Janet & La Toya and Jackson speaking seductively, and blowing kisses towards of the song.
“The Lady in My Life” is one of Jackson’s soulful ballads to date. Not only does the song contain smooth and seductive music, it captures Michael’s ability to sing different ranges as well as sing harmony.
The Thriller continues with remixes of “The Girl Is Mine” and “PYT” by Will.I.Am, who did a great job giving these classics a comptemparry feel, making them sound as timeless as the original versions. The former has a hot combo of R&B, Rock and Hip Hop courtesy of the beats used from Lil’ Mama’s hit “Lip Gloss” as well as the percussion, strings and keyboards. It also features Jackson singing falsetto while Will raps, while the latter has hot percussion, horns, new lyrics written by Jackson and rap by Will.

Damn girl, you’re a sexy thing
Let me be your lil’ sex machine
You look good in dem jeans
I peel them off like a tangerine
I can see you on a magazine
Modeling maybe line
Yeah you can be my beauty queen
Yeah boo, let me be your king
A great song to play on the dance floor and in the bedroom.
Michael’s collaboration with Akon on “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’ is hot! They both gave this classic an African and Sexy make over with new verses written with Giorgio Tuinfort, and sung by Akon who performs the song’s famous chant with Jackson ad-libbing and singing background. A Billboard Music and Grammy Award nomination is recommended. Black Eye Peas member Fergie joins Jackson on “Beat It” who’s Rock-Pop style vocals gives the song a dramatic feel, making listeners believe that she’s pleading for her kids not take part in gang violence. Kanye West gives Hip-Hop flavor to the classic ‘Billie Jean” by adding hard hitting beats and more strings and more ad-libs by Jackson while keeping the original bass lines and solos.
The Thriller with “For All Time” a beautiful ballad and unreleased song from the original sessions. Written by Steve Pocaro and produced by Jackson, the song has a great mixture of Pop, R&B and Adult Comptemporary music, Jackson singing the bride African style and touching lyrics about being in one’s corner through good and bad times.
“And maybe the walls will tumble
And sun my refuse to shine.
When I say I love you
Baby you gotta know that’s
For all time.
A nice song to be sung at weddings and graduations.


Listening to this release brought back many memories of being a Black kid in the projects, listening to good music that would later make an impact on my life and (unknowingly at that time) inspire me to pursue an interest and career in music and music history, and I have to say that I enjoyed reviewing this classic, though it would have been better had Jackson would have worked with SWV and recorded an updated version of their hits "Right Here" and "Human Nature." It would have been great since their remix is one of the most popular songs to contain a sample of his music, but the set was great, and it shows why Michael Jackson (It's about time that the media stops calling him Wacko Jacko and start addressing by his given name Michael Joesph Jackson) is still the King of Pop and an global Legend, Icon and Pioneer.

Unknown Facts about Thriller.

1. The album and song was orginally going to be called "Starlight" but songwriter Rod Temperton and Quincy Jones decided to rename the song "Thriller" instead.

2. "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" was originally recorded for Michael's 1979 album "Off The Wall"

3. His duet with former Beatle and friend Paul Mc Cartney was the first song recorded for the album.

4. Quincy Jones wanted Michael to change the title of "Billie Jean" to "Not My Lover" because he felt that the public would think that the song was about Tennis legend Billie Jean King. Jones also didn't Michael to use the bassline that made the song famous. Michael advocated, and won, and the song is now a classic. In his mother's auotbiography "My Family The Jacksons,' Katherine wrote how shocked she was when she heard first heard "Billie Jean" saying it was tough sounding, but later realize that the song was done to give his sound and image a little edge because he had felt that his image was too clean cut and that the song stuck a cord with her because they were many ladies who claimed that her sons had father their children.

5. Louis Johnson of the Funk/R&B duo The Johnson Brothers performed the famous bassline on "Billie Jean' and shared how Michael had him bring all of his guitars into the studio to find the perfect sound and they settled on the Yahama. Veteran Jazz Musician Tom Scott played the solo during the bridge of the song.

6.When Quincy called Rocker Eddie Van Halen to perform the famous guitar solo on "Beat It," he accepted the invitation but refuese to accept any form of financial payment or reward.

7. The song P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing) came to light when Quincy's ex-wife actress Peggy Lipton Jones brought home some lingerie called PYT, and Q as what he's called thought it would be a great idea for a song so he asked James Ingram to co-write the song. On Michael's The Ultimate Collection boxed set, there's a different version recorded more in a R&B ballad form then the one that's was released on "Thriller."

8. The album almost didn't get released. In his autobiography "Moonwalk," Michael wrote how he was in the middle of narrating the ET Storybook, and how when he heard the playback of "Thriller" it was so crappy that it brought tears to his eyes. He later learned that the album wasn't mixed properly so he, Q and engineer Bruce Swedian mixed one song a day befofe they were completely satisfied.

BLACK BRITISH NEED LOVE AND SEX TOO

SPILLING THE TEA ABOUT LONDON
STARRING: SAKI, MAXWELL, BLADE & FRED
DIRECTED AND PRODUCED BY XAVIER DONALD
(THIS REVIEW AND FILM WHICH IS ADULT ENTERTAINMENT FILM IS FOR THOSE AGES 18 & OVER SO VIEWERS DISCRETION IS STRONGLY ADVICED)

When Motown legend Marvin Gaye embarked on his long awaited British tour in 1976, he was impressed with how receptive the British fans were of him and his music.
“They’re wilder than they let on” he told David Ritz, author of the late singer’s biography “Divided Soul.” Many people think of British people as being laid back, reserved, and well educated. That’s true, but they also have excellent taste in music and they’re also extremely romantic and freaky, and after seeing the film “Spilling the Tea about London.” viewers are going to have a bigger appreciation for sensuality and hot passionate love making and sex. Directed by Xavier Donald entirely in London, this adult film has great scenery, and chemistry between the stars that aren’t afraid to showcase their sensual side.
The film begins with Saki, playing an American tourist walking towards London native Maxwell (who also narrates the flick) for directions on how to go to Big Ben. After walking, Maxwell informs him that he has to head back to work, which prompts Saki to ask if he could meet him later at his place. Maxwell tells him that he’s unable to have visitors, but he has Saki sneak into the Buckingham Palace disguised as a Royal Guard
“Dude I don’t see how you can stand being in this uniform” Saki says
“Let me get your ass in here” Maxwell replies before he grabs Saki inside his pad, where Saki pens him against the wall, unbuttons his jacket, and began kissing his muscular chest. Maxwell then leads Saki to the couch where they continue to participate in foreplay before Maxwell begins sucking his dick, while Saki massages and smacks his ass, while he’s being ridden. A few minutes later, Saki lays Maxwell on his back, and pleases him by kissing his legs, and sucking on his toes before kissing and sucking on his right foot, which has him moaning in ecstasy, before Maxwell starts sucking his dick. Saki then returns the favor by having Maxwell on his hands, while he eats his ass and sucks on his British Banger.
“Stay like that” Saki says before he continues to eat and finger him, which later leads into them participating in a hot 69 position in front of the fire place.
Saki then pulls out a condom and some lube, and fingers Maxwell before he penetrates him, causing him to moan and shiver.
“Just relax” Saki says while he gently grabs his neck and kisses him on the neck and lips.
“Tell me you like it”
“I love it” Maxwell replies as his getting fucked laying on his side.
What makes this scene sizzle is Saki fucking Maxwell in various speeds, showing his intimate, sensual and wild sides. Especially when he has Maxwell on his back, while his legs are spread towards his shoulders. After they bust their nuts, they fall asleep in each other’s arm on the floor near the front of the couch.
The next scene begins were Maxwell is strolling through Ceners Wheif, and he captures the attention of Wade, a caramel complexion bald guy, who goes to Maxwell to his hotel room, and hangs both their jackets. After he sits on the bed, he offers Wade some coffee and Wade smiles and begins kissing him all over on his lips, nice and chests, before he gently removes his pants. Wade then takes off his shirt and continues kissing Maxwell before he deep throats his dick, before Maxwell returns the favor by sucking him off while rubbing his chest for ten minutes before they participate in frottage (The French translation for dry humping) in various positions before Maxwell sits on Wade’s face for a hot second before participating in another hot oral and frottage session. Maxwell then pulls out a condom and lube, and fucks Maxwell in missionary style, while he’s kissing him. Wade then hits him from behind before shooting a watery load on his ass, before Maxwell jerks his dick and shoots a thick load.
“That coffee was good” Wade says in reference to Maxwell’s dark complexion, and nice tasting ass.
Scene 3 starts off with Maxwell talking about how Buckingham Palace is one of the places where tourists can meet hot guys for dates and hook-ups, before cutting to Saki talking to a Black French man named Fred, who’s dons the urban look and attire (Cornrows, leather jacket and sweat pants). After getting acquainted with each other, Saki invites him to his hotel room, takes their coats, and sits on the bed where Fred asks him about his trip.
“I like it” Saki says.
“Everybody’s nice, but not as sexy as you.
“Thank you. You’re sexy too” Fred replies while Saki rubs his arm.
“Can I come closer” Saki asks before he gently grabs his chin, and begins to kiss him, and before you can say ahh, they become topless, with Saki asking Fred “Are you going to fuck me in French?” Saki then kisses and licks Fred’s chest and belly button, before Fred removes returns the favor by kissing Saki all over before removing his blue briefs and sucking his dick.
“Yeah it feels good” Saki says before the sits up and rubs Fred’s French debeior, and sucks his dick wile laying his back. He later lays the hot French urban brother on his back and licks Fred’s chocolate ass while Saki showcases his romantic and sensual side, his American urban side comes out when he’s about to fuck him
“When I first saw you, I wanted to get in that ass” he says before he penetrates Fred deep to the point of him moaning
“Just relax. Let me stroke you” Saki says while Fred is moaning in a French accent. After fucking him doggy style, Fred sits on top of him, and give him a little competition , causing him to sweat before Saki takes charge and lays him on his back, and fucks him various speeds while having his legs spread out and pounding him to the point of coming.
Fred then shoots a nice load and fall a sleep while Saki holds him with his left arm.
Scene 4 takes place in a leather bar. I’m not a huge fan of leather bars or leather scenes, but I have to say that this scene is pretty hot. First Blade approaches Fred and asks for his number. Then he walks over to Saki, who’s dress in a leather vest and leather boots having and drink, and leads him to the back of the bar, where they push up on each other by kissing and grinding, with Saki taking the roles of being submissive and dominating, by forcing Blade to suck his dick, and eat his ass while he’s hanging from the top of the cage.
“Ah yeah. It feels good” Saki says, before Wade fucks him while he’s laying on two large barrows
“Ah, fuck me” Saki says while he’s being bangs to the point that his eyes almost roll to the back of his head..
Saki then has Wade bend over and fuck and slaps his ass aggressively (who says that men are only competitive in sports) and shoots a large load on his ass.
The last scene begins with Fred laying in his bed, rubbing his dick and speaking in French, to be awaken by Wade
“Do you fancy me coming over to see you” Wade asks
“Can you come over now?” Fred asks
No sooner than you can gag, Wade arrives and wastes no time taking part in some hot foreplay and frottage,
“I’m so glad you came over” Fred says while Wade is kissing and undressing him. What makes this scene hot is listening to Fred speak French while Wade is sucking his balls. Fred then gets on top of Blade, grinds on him and tells him to fuck him in English and French before participating in a hot 69 session with Fred sitting on Blade’s face. Itching to get an extra helping of Fred’s chocolate ass, Wade pulls out a condom, puts it on, and fucks him doggy style which has Fred turned out to the point of speaking in French ane English.
“That’s fucking good” Fred says before he gets fucked missionary style.
After fucking, they bust large and loads and kiss while Fred speaks to him in French, leaving Wade to ask what did he say?
“It was fucking hot” he says in English before they kiss.

This is one of the hottest and romantic porn flicks I’ve seen this year. Not only did the director had great shots of the cast, I love how he incorporate British culture by having the guys meet in landmark locations and allowing Black men to show their sensuality and romantic sides. I just that the scenes with Fred were a bit longer, but all in all the film was excellent and I’m looking forward to seeing work from Xavier Donald and the cast.

GRAMMYS BRIDGES MUSIC GENERATION GAPS AND BREAK MOLDS




When I heard that Beyonce Knowles was going to be performing with Rock & Soul Legend Tina Turner, I like many other music fas were wondering how good would the performance be, and I have to say that I wasn't disappointed. Not only did the former Destiny's Child lead singer did a great job keeping up with the sexy senior citizen, (who still has the body that 20 year-olds would die to have), it was great to see Tina come out of her performing retirement to perform her Grammy Award winning hits "What's Love Got To Do With It" and "Better Be Good To Me," it was great to see legendary artists perform with the new jacks, showing that music can cross age and culture generation, and that's what I loved about the 50th Grammy Awards. Seeing artists from all different genres performing and presenting awards together as well as seeing artists finally receiving awards for their hard work.
The program began with a clip of the late Frank Sinatra from the 1950's talking about the ceromony, followed by Soul singer/Pianist Alicia Keys performing a duet with him, before being presented the Grammy for Best Female Vocalist by Prince who joked about the Chairman of the Board looking good to be 150 years old. Keys also introduced Country singer Carrie who performed her Grammy Award singer "Before He Cheats" backed by dancers performing with trash cans in the style of the Broadway musical "Stomp."
A hot performance was the Reunion of Funk/R&B Band The Time reuniting and performing their classic hit "Jungle Love" before playing behind Bajun R&B singer Rhianna who performed her hits "Umbrealla" and "Don't Stop The Music" before both acts joined foreces to perform the Time's hit while Morris Day had Jerome Benton hold a mirror while Day made sure he was looking good.
The Beatles got a nice tribute performed by the cast of Cirque du Soleil's who Cesoveper Gospel version of the Fab Four's hit "Let It Be" and it was good to see John Lennon's current wife Yoko Ono in the audience being on her best behavior because some fans are still pissed at how she behaved at the 2004 ceremony when she refered to surviving members Rhingo Starr and Paul Mc Cartney as the other guys. (There are some Beatle fans who still feel she should have gotten her ass kicked for that comment. It's bad enough she dissed Lennon's first wife by not allowing her to attend his funeral, and with all the money the bitch is making off her late husband, you would think that she would have taken some lessons on etiquette. I can see why people loved Paul's first wife Linda, who was professional, talented, down to earth and managed to make a name for herself as a photographer after she married Sir Paul).
Kanye West performed his hit "Stonger" in a futuristic set, later performing a moving tribute to his late mother who died before Thanksgiving, which earned the outspoken Rapper and advocate of stopping homophobia in Hip Hop a standing ovation.
My moment was seeing one of my favorite female singers Tina Turner showing the crowd that age has no limits when it comes to having fun doing what you loved, and honey she worked it. With her friend and fellow Gay/SGL Icon Cher introducing Beyonce who performed a hot tribute to the R&B/Jazz artists Janet Jackson, Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin and Donna Summer, before introducing Turner who appeeared wearing a Gold body suit and brown hair took the stage to perform clasic hits "What's Love Got To Do With It" and her Rock anthem "Better Be Good To Me" which had everyone including yours truly out their seats. The Rock & Soul Goddess then introduced Beyonce who came onstage wearing a dress similar to the one that Tina wore during her "Wildest Dreams" tour elelven years ago, to perform the classic "Proud Mary" and B did a great job keeping up with the dancer and Tina who still has that glow and energy that made her an inspiration to many today.
The Foo Fighters rocked the crowd outside the Staples Center giving the chance for contestant to perform with them, and what award show would be complete without a tribute to Gospel? Soul Legend Aretha Franklin joined Gospel Legend BeBe Winans to perform a song, before The Clark Sisters came onstage to perform their classic hit "You Brought The Sunshine."
Two of the biggest highlights were Josh Groban performing a tribute to the late Opera legend Luciano Pavillo, and Johm Forgety joining Rock Legends Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis to peform the Rock classics "Great Balls of Fire" and "Good Golly Miss Molly" where Richard's performed his trademark riff. Woo!! It may not have been as strong as it normaly is, but it was good.
Motown legend Stevie Wonder congratulated the label's founder Berry Gordy, Jr for being named an Icon by the Grammys for founding the famous Detroit label which is celebrating it's 50th anniversary before introducing Alicia Keys who performed her Grammy Award winning hit "No One" with John Myers who's guitar riffs and powerful vocals gave the song an edge, earning a standing ovation.
British Pop singer Amy Winhouse anticipated performance was hot. The British star who's been batting addiciton left a stint in Rehab to perform her hit "Rehab" via satelite which won Record of The Year.
The performances wasn't the only thing that made the ok; there was many artists who finally got awards including Rhianna, who earned her first Grammy Award for her hit "Umbrella" in the Best Rap/Sung Collaboration Category with her boss Jay-Z, while labelmate Ne-Yo earned won for Best R&B Comtemporary Album for "Because of You" making many at the Def Jam label happy. The late Gerald Le Vert finally received his first Win in the Traditional R&B Catergory for his hit "My Songs" making many fans happy that he finally got his due though many feel that it was long over due. Presidental Canidate Obama Barack received his first Grammy beating out Dr. Maya Angelo and Bill Clinton, while Legendary Wild Child Chaka Khan won for Best R&B album and for Best R&B single by a Duo or Group for "Disrespectful" her single with Hip-Hop Soul Queen, but the high point was Jazz legend Herbie Hancock winning Album of The Year, making him the first Jazz artist to win in that category since 1943, and the producers should have allowed him to continue his make his acceptance speech out of respect. (It like they haven't gone overtime, and it that has happened many times and it wasn't due to winner's long acceptance speeches either).
This years Grammy was OK , but I would like to see more performances of legenary performers and new Jacks performing as well as more tribute to record labels and genres that have made impact on music such as Rap, Disco, and the sounds of Motown, Philly Soul and Stax Records.

LEGENDARY GROUP'S LIVE DVD HAS FAMILY AND INTIMATE FEELING




R&B Legends New Edition has been making an impact on music for the past twenty-five years with their singing, rapping, classy and hip wardrobe and their slick and smooth choreography. They’ve also became the first male group to achieve success as a group and with their solo projects, paving the way for Boyz II Men, B2K and Destiny’s Child, who would follow in the legendary group’s career footsteps, but while the two latter group’s have broken up, the Bad boys from Boston are still playing to sold out shows around the world, and their current and long awaited DVD “Spend The Night With New Edition” proves that they still have what it takes to maintain longevity.
The DVD which was filmed at the University of South Carolina isn’t just the typical DVD which shows the concert footage, it has a historic and family feel that has viewers feeling that they’re at the concert with the group thanks to the interviews with fans and entertainers Guy Torrey, Anthony Anderson, Monica, Arsenio Hall, Cedric The Entertainer, Elise Neal and Shawn Stockman from Boyz II Men between the group‘s performances.
The DVD opens with a mini movie of two guys traveling through the streets of Boston looking to purchase some merchandise which turns out to be copies of their DVD, followed by a preview of their upcoming mini-series, featuring a group of young kids portraying the original line-up, riding their bicycles to meet with their chorographer and current manager Brook Payne for rehearsal where he comes up with their name and routines. Then they clips of the group rehearsing is shown, leading to Ronnie De Voe, Bobby Brown, Ricky Bell, Mike Bivins, & Ralph Tresvant appearing at a press conference speaking about their foundation and plans to help underprivileged families. The concert finally begins with current member Johnny Gill singing “Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky Mike, Ralph, Johnny too,” and without missing a beat, they appear on stage wearing white suits with red handkerchiefs performing their 1991 pre-reunion hit “Word To The Mutah” with Gill singing Brown’s part, followed by “Crucial”, and “You’re Not My Kind of Girl”, which features smooth vocals by Tresvant, Gill and Bell and funky live breaks from their four-piece band, playing in synch with their cheorgraphy. Especially at the end of the song when each members of the group bow individually. N.E. then takes the crowd down memory lane with a medley of their hits “Candy Girl,” “Popcorn Love” and “Jealous Girl” where Gill introduces Brown who walks down the stair case in the middle of the stage to sing lead, making the audience go crazy. What makes this performance the group harmony and vibe that shows the bond they have, further displayed while performing “Mr. Telephone Man” where the group stand behinds Bivins while he performs the famous spoken segment to the ladies in the front row.
They then launch into “Count Me Out” and “Cool It Now” where Ralph asks the crowd to sing the famous rap of ’Ronnie, Bobby Ricky and Mike. If I love the girl who cares who you like!” and compliments hem for who good they sound. They launch into “A Little Bit of Love (Is All It Takes) which has a Caribbean feel courtesy of the bass and their classic “Is This the End”, which features a call and response between Ralph and Ricky which earns the group a standing ovation.
While their DJ is setting up, Ronnie appears on stage wearing a Black fitted cap and introduces the group who receives loud rounds of applause and backs up him, Ricky and Mike who perform their sexy hit “Do Me” which has the audience out their seats. Especially when Mike performs the song’s famous line 'Move to the jacuzzi. Ooh that booty smack it up, flip it rub it down. Oh No!' Then Bobby takes center stage to perform his top charting anthem “My Prerogative” and in true Brown fashion, he changes the lyrics, and opens his shirt showing his muscular chest and belly, reminding the audience he’s still the bad boy of R&B. While the group is changing into black suits, Ralph appears on stage to perform his solo hit “Sensitivity” with an open shirt displaying his six pack, keeping the ladies attention during this intimate performance which features him performing in front of a silver curtain, ad-libbing the melody of the DNA/Suzanne Vega classic “Tom’s Diner” and jumping into the audience and dancing with the ladies including one of his biggest fans, before rejoining the group to perform their radio hit “Boys To Men” where Johnny adds Gospel flavor to the song ad-libbing ‘It’s alright throughout the performance and performing his trademark riff before the group launches into his solo hit “My, My My” which has smooth harmonizing and dancing from the group while Johnny has his divo moments by taking off his suit jacket, unbuttoning his shirt, scatting and hitting high and powerful notes, showing the audience that true singing comes from the heart.
The group then grabs the audience in their palm of their hands, while putting on their cowboy hats and performing their top charting ballad “Can You Stand the Rain” which has the audience in tears. Making this performance touching and sensual are the vocals, Belli singing falsetto, Bivin’s famous rap ‘Come on baby. Let’s get wet for New Edition” and a call and response between Tresvant and Gill, who later begins preaching and speaking about the power of God.
The group slows down the pace by sitting on stool and backing Ricky while he showcases his soulful and opera singing style on “Smile Again” as well as joking about how the ladies in Japan called him ‘Licky” during their Japanese tour. They perform their comeback hit “If It Isn’t Love” with Brown hyping the crowd from backstage. For the finale, the group performs BBD’s classic hit “Poison,” which has the audience wanting more.
New Edition’s DVD was hot. I liked how they included incorporated their solo hits along with their hits recorded as a group, but it would have been better if they would have performed “My Secret,” “I'm Leaving You Again" "Hit Me Off, “and “I’m Still In Love With You.” Those songs would have made the show complete, but the DVD was nice to watch, and it shows that Ronnie, Bobby Ricky, Mike, Ralph and Johnny still has the moves and voices that made them famous and transferred them from boys to men.

ADULT FILM'S FAVORITE ON-SCREEN BOTTOM HAS GRANTS INTELLIGENT INTERVIEW



When T-Malone made his acting debut in the porn films “Tiger’s Brooklyn Tails” and the “Off the Hook” series, many viewers admired him for his looks, style of dress and for shattering the stereotypes of how men who bottom are supposed to look and act.
T-Malone has starred in countless films, including “T-Malone Bottom’s Up,” “Reloaded 1 & 2,” “Queens Plaza Pick UP Part 2 and “Ty’s Black Tie Affair.” He’s appeared in the adult magazine “Black Inches” where viewers was also impressed to learn that he’s more than a sexy man with a nice body. When we met at Cosci’ I was very impressed with how intelligent he is, and I also learned that we had many things in common including keeping in contact with old friends, as well as having great taste in men, and in music (he suggest that I purchased Boyz II Men’s latest release, and I will do so shortly).
This sexy and intelligent porn legend was nice enough to allow me to interview him, where he spoke about his career, having a loving and supporting family, and the importance of saving money.

Q: It’s an honor to finally meet you. What have you been up to?
A: Just taking it easy. I haven’t done much in sense of filming anything, but I’m working on some business ventures.

Q: Tell the viewers something about yourself.
A: I got into porn by chance I guess. It was an opportunity to make money. I started working wit Enrique Cruz and we formed a business relationship. You can say that we’re friends and business partners. I learned a lot about business from him. That’s pretty much how I got into it. I took everything I learned from him into other companies I worked with.

Q: What was the first film you starred in?
A: Tiger Brooklyn Tails.

Q: That’s one of my favorite films. A lot of fans and critics. Tell me from your perspective why is it a classic?
A: For me personally, it launched my career. It was one of the biggest films that Tiger did in his career, so that’s why I can relate to it, I think that there was things that hadn’t be done in other videos. We did scenes in Prospect Park. Enrique Cruz is always good at pushing the envelope and doing things outside the norm for Black and Latino porn.

Q: In addition to working with Enrique Cruz, what other companies you worked with?
A: I done a few for Latino Fan Club. Pit-bull productions, and Ebony D, which is in Canada and some others that I can’t of right now.

Q: I read your first interview with Black Inches magazine and I was extremely impressed with how open you was about your sexuality. When did you realize you was gay and how did your family and friends accept it?
A: As early as I can remember I was able to acknowledge being gay and my family was the same way. Growing up in my household, I have four brothers and my parents always allowed me to be really open and expressive with myself. If I wanted to play with dolls, I could play with dolls. If I wanted to bake instead of playing football, they allowed me to bake. When it came to sexuality, I never had a lot of

Q: I also remembering reading that you ran track and field in college. What was that like?
A: I love track and field. I’m still involved to this day. It’s one of the things that keep me in shape. I’m still in contact with a lot of my friends who I competed with. Some of them are in positions to be on the Olympic team; maybe to win a Gold medal. Some of them got in trouble due to the steroids scandals. I’m very involved with track and field still to this day.

Q: One thing I admire about you is even though you have the urban Hip-Hop look, you always bring class, intelligence and sensuality to your performances. How important is it for you to bring those qualities to your work?
A: It means a lot to me because I don’t want to misrepresent myself. Just because I’m in front of the camera doing porn I don’t feel it has to be distasteful. If they wanna see something nasty and raunchy, they’re gonna buy something else, but if they now what type of product I’m gonna put out, then they’re gonna buy my stuff.

SW: One of my favorite scenes I saw you in was when you was playing a journalist trying to get an interview with a famous guy, who you later got with in the steam room
T-Malone: Yeah (both laugh)

SW: That’s my second favorite scene of all time. What was it like topping him?
T-Malone: The chemistry was good; we spent the whole day together prior to shooting the shot. We kinda bounded. It was natural to top him. In my personal life, I’m pretty versatile.

SW: You also mentioned that you’re branching into other business ventures. What other ventures are you working with?
T-Malone: I’m currently involved investment. I invested in some property in Atlanta, and in Maryland, and I’m looking into continue with that. I’m also going to take some of my money and invest into porn. That wasn’t the first thing I wanted to do. I wanted to invest in something with stability so I got that going with the real estate so now I’m looking to move a little bit into trying a couple of things in porn.

SW: You’ve been in the porn game for almost ten years. How have you been able to maintain longevity?
T-Malone: One of the things I learned early on is that you can’t overdue it. A lot of these guys get in it and they making money and before you know it, in a short period of time, they’ve done twenty movies. Unless you’re hot and a big star where people love seeing you, they’re gonna get tired I think it also has to so with my fans being supportive. I told a lot of people I get a lot of compliments. I get a few criticisms and I can take the negative as well as the good, and I think that one of the most important things is being able to know who you are so you can be comfortable with that and be able to put out something that is consistent.

SW: What are some of the misconceptions people have about the porn industry?
T-Malone: Wow. I’m glad you asked that. I think that one of the misconceptions of people who do porn is that we are not capable of having a relationship. We’re not capable of loving people or allowing people to love us. Or we’re sex addicts. All we do is have sex all day, everyday. When I tell people (sometimes) I don’t have sex for two or three months at a time, they’re like wow! It means more to me to have a relationship with someone to enjoy going on dates. Things like that. I can get sex like that. It’s not a challenge for me. A lot of us have a brain; we don’t just use our bodies or asses and our dicks. There’s more to life than having sex for money. Some of us do think about our futures and we are saving and investing our money.

SW: I’ve notice that most of the films you starred in are with Blacks and Latinos. How do you feel you’re making an impact on Black and Latino Gay and Porn culture?

T-Malone: I think, with my looks, I’ve been able to blend, and especially in New York City, a lot of times I got ‘Hey Papi’ Some people think I’m Dominican; Puerto Rican. I have a lot of friends who are Latinos. I’ve dated a lot of Latinos and a lot of times, people talk about the separations between Latinos and Blacks. I really don’t sense that because usually when I’m around Latinos who usually don’t vibe with Blacks, I don’t get that same type of feedback from them. Enrique and I are very close. I don’t know is it because of my complexion, but I travel a lot

SW: I remembering reading that you went to Barbados. What was it like and how are the men other there?
T-Malone: Barbados was amazing. The first time I went there, it was like the beaches and the people were very friendly. I didn’t know it at the time, but they’re very gay friendly, even though they don’t advertise it, but they really are. I was able to relax and by myself. Guys approached me. It was a very good, relaxing experience.

SW: What other countries have you visited besides Barbados?
T-Malone: I’ve been to Canada, Barbados. I’ve been to Grenada, London and England. I have a lot of friends in London. Some of them work in fashion and some of them are models.

SW: Where do you see yourself in the next five and ten years?
T-Malone: In five years, I see myself doing things in real estate. I see myself doing things in porn. Ten years, I see myself being a millionaire and the biggest thing in porn.

With almost four years of film under his belt, the star who enjoys having sex is starting his own company and websites which will be available by February.
I first met Peanut at the Gay Erotic Expo in October, and I found him to be a real cool, and down to earth person, who’s about handling his business, and two months later, I was surprised to see him at the Italian restaurant Cosci with Enrique Cruz, and I was like ‘I wished I would have known he was coming because I would have brought a copy of the picture we took together at the expo.’ He was nice enough to grant me this interview where he talked about his career and upcoming companies and websites.

Q: How did you get into the porn industry?
A: It was something I wanted to do. I put in an application with Chocolate Drop.com. Got called backed, did a video and from there I was going different places, doing different videos for different companies.

Q: What companies did you work for?
A: I worked with Chocolate drop.com. Thug bait, when that was up. Cash models. Chocolate Cream. Enrique Cruz and thug porn.

Q: You’re starting your own porn company and websites. What influenced you to start your own company?
A: If someone else can do it, and be behind someone else’s camera, then I can get someone to be behind my camera. Why stay under someone when I can be on top and branch out on my own and do my own thing?

Q: What does it take to start and run your own company?
A: Knowledge. The boys. Models. Money Help from someone who already know what they’re doing. I’ve had help from Marvin Jones from Chocolate Cream. He’s been helping me out.

A: Well I didn’t even noticed I had a style. I do what I do. I like to have sex and why not share with everybody else?

Q: This is a question that a lot of people been asking and been wanting to know; are you and Pinky still together?
A: I’m not in a relationship with Pinky. That’s still my road dawg. Still my baby, but we’re just not together right now. I’m in a relationship with Khaos.

Q: That’s interesting that you’ve been in a relationship with two porn stars. How are you able to maintain a private life away from the camera?
A: Well, when I’m on camera and shooting video, it’s like I’m going to work. So you know it’s like everybody have that job, and when they come home, they have that home life, and that’s the same with me. It’s no different. Just because I do porn, that’s still my business; this is what I do for a living. When I come home, I’m still Bryon. I’m still Peanut.

Q: When will your website be launched?
A: My website will be launched no later then February. I’m hoping in January 2008. I’m trying to get some new models., but of course I’m gonna stick with the ones who got me through and got me where I’m at now. Pinky, Remy Mars, Khaos, Prince, Jay. All my original models that started off with me.

Q: Where do you see yourself in the next five years?
A: I see myself being big. Producing my own stuff. Enrique Cruz. The dude from Thug Porn and Marvin Jones. Just trying to produce my own stuff and be on top myself.

Q: From a young person‘s perspective, what are many conceptions people have about porn stars?
A: They‘re think we‘re not human, and anything we do is because we do porn. If we have a lover, we cheat on our lover because we‘re porn stars. We do drugs is because we‘re porn stars, or if we drink too much is because we‘re porn stars. We do everything that regular people do. I mean we are regular people, but we do everything that people with regular jobs do.

SW: Thank you! Including Pastors!
PEANUT: Absolutely (both laugh)

Q: I’m noticing that more guys from Philly are pursuing careers in the porn industry. How does that make you feel to know that more people from your hometown are entering the porn industry?
A: I’m happy for them. They get much love from me. If that’s what they want to do, I’m behind them one hundred percent. Do your thing, and love what you do. Don’t be ashamed of it later on in life.

Q: What advice would you give to those who want to enter the industry?
A: Think about it real hard and think about five years from now. If it’s something you’re gonna look back on and regret, than don’t do it.

LEGENDARY PORN DIRECTOR CONVERSES WITH SUPREME WRITER




For the past decade, Enrique Cruz have became one of the most loved, admired and respected directors of the porn industry. Not only has his films has viewers turned on sexually, they also have viewers (particularly Urban Black and Latino viewers) that it’s ok to be gay, sexy, and intelligent.
Since entering the scene, Cruz has filmed some of the industry’s hottest films including "Cruizing Da Hood, " Off Da Hook 1 & 2, Aprende 1&2, Reloaded, and the classic Tiger’s Brooklyn Tails, launched the careers of Tiger Tyson and T-Malone, both who gone off to have successful careers.
I had the wonderfully opportunity to interview this innovative director at Cosci’s shortly before the holiday where we spoke about his career, the importance of mixing of races, and his upcoming plans which includes shooting a movie as well as a music video for rapper Shorty Roc.

Q: Thanks for the opportunity to allow me to interview you.
A: Just finished Aprende Part 3. And after that, I’m working on a new “Doin’ the Butt” Number 24 and 25. That’s usually first timers on the website and they’re gonna be first time actors that actually are on the camera.

Q: What inspired you to pursue a career as a director?
A: I went to the School of Visual Arts up here in New York City and I was interested in filmmaking, and then afterwards, as a joke, I had said to a friend of mine that I wanted porn because it wasn’t any good porn movies, so I wanted to make porn, and the short stories ended up being a sample video for twenty minutes that I sent out to companies.

Q: You’re primarily known for directing porn movies. How did you get involved in the porn industry and what was the name of your first movie?
A: The first one is called “Learning Latin” when I did the twenty minute sample, I sent copies to different companies and Vivid Video was the company I wanted to work with. The first one was “Learning Latin” then we did “Learning Latin 2,” “Cruzin’ The Hood.” We did the whole series, then I started my own company Enrique Cruz Productions.

Q: What prompted you to start your own company?
A: The success of Vivid Video was overnight and “Learning Latin” was a huge success. It got into every porn video shop and because of that, it gave me a high visibility so I said I wanna do it for myself instead of having Vivid Video make all the money, so like most new artist who are working in the when you start.

Q: I watch you work and I enjoy how your films deal with urban themes and life.
A: I wanted to do something that was inclusive of me and my friends at the time and where I grew u, and where I grew up it was mixed with Blacks and Latin. Our neighborhood our school and all of my friends have been a mixture of people so I wanted to kind of be inclusive and the first company I had was Lamacha, Lamacha is pretty much a mixing of the races and I think in a perfect world, we wanna have a day where Black, White, Latin can get along and it’s kinda the theme in all those videos.

Q: Many fans and critics have label “Tiger Brooklyn Tails” as a classic and favorite. From your perspective, why is that film so popular?
A: I spent a lot of time on the story, and the story behind Tiger Brooklyn Tails was a guy coming out to his best friend who is straight, and just having to be inclusive that a straight guy can be friendly with a gay guy. It was based on the fact was one of the guys was Latino and one of the guys was Black and again a mixing of the races.

Q: The scene in Aprende with Scorpion and Antonio Torres is my all time favorite sex scene. Will you be filming a follow up with those two?
A: OK (both laugh) Unfortunately, Scorpion is as they say away on vacation, which is the code word for locked up. I don’t think he’ll do a follow up anytime soon, but that was a huge favor and Antonio Torres is retired from the business.

Q: You mentioned a great point about mixing Blacks and Latins in your films. I’ve hung with a lot of Latinos, but I’ve heard stories about Blacks and Latinos not liking each other. How false is that story?
A: It depends on how they were raised. In New York, it’s the melting pot. When I go to places like Atlanta, you have the Black clubs and the Latin clubs, and you don’t see a lot of race mixing, but in cities like New York, L.A., and Miami, they have something called the Blatino experience where they have race mixing, and even when I went to Paris France, there was a lot of mixing of the races, but it depends on how you were raised. But now, the younger generation, the younger kids are more accepting, but the older generation, they kind of have a lot of stigma attached to it, so it’s like Blacks sticks with Blacks, Whites stick with Whites, Latinos stick with Latinos, but I think the younger generations are more open to it.

Q: You said you just finished editing Aprende 3. Not giving it away, what can we expect from it?
A: Aprende 3 we shot a lot of stuff for the first time on the beach, so half of the film take place in the Caribbean so that is different for me. We did stuff on the truck. So now we got to the beaches on “Aprende 3” and we shot it on location in the Caribbean and that was a little bit different. So half the scenes was shot overseas which I thought came out pretty good and hot!

Q: The main thing I admire about your films is the sensuality and how you have the guys participate in foreplay and kissing. I love that!!
A: That’s important when you’re doing something erotic. There’s different ways of being dominant. You can have someone be totally dominant a guy can get off on it. Another way is to have a romantic scene it shows guys can be like couples. I’ve been in a relationship for seven years at think it’s possible for guys to be in relationships.



Q: I’ve heard that you’re filming Rapper Shorty Roc’s upcoming video “Stop What You’re Into.” How did that come about?
A: I was working on an erotic short film, and I met Shorty Roc at a taping here and I told him you can do a song for me, and he was telling me he wanted to do a music video so I offered to do the music video that will be on the Logo channel. So we make it sexy. Hot, not too sexy, just sexy enough! It just worked out where you do a song for me and I do a video for you.

Q: How do you think you’re making an impact on the Gay Community and Porn Industry?
A: I think that the impact on the younger generation. You said that this (Off The Hook) was the first porno you saw. When you see yourself on screen, and are inclusive, in the lifestyle, it tells you it’s OK to be gay and you’re not fucked up for being gay. You can be intelligent and you don’t have to be in jail and you don’t have to be in the ghetto. You can go to school and get an education. Those are the things I think are important. Even mixing sexuality, you can get a job and mess around on the side.

Q: That’s another thing I love about “Aprende.” Is how the students were going to school taking care of business while expressing and enjoying their sexuality.
A: When I look at my friends and the people who are gay, they’re going to school, they have jobs, and they’re trying to do things with their lives, and a lot of the earlier films had boys behind bars, and that can be OK if you include the boys who aren’t behind bars, going to school and trying to do something. So that’s my contribution; kinda even it out a little bit so it won’t be everybody behind bars. I hope that continues in the next generation.

Q: What other projects you’re working on
A: We’re doing the short video for the Logo channel with Shorty Roc; “Stop What You’re Into” and that’s gonna be a hot song. We’re gonna have two girls kissing and we’re gonna have two guys kissing that will be Logo friendly, and we will have some boys without their shirts. Some club scenes and then “After Party Babies” is a short I wanna take to film festivals, and it takes place in the night life, the club scene. The night life. We’re gonna have professional actors. We’re doing a party January 22 at Splash with Harmonica Sunbeam hosting a contest with anal ring toss first time on stage. Guys take a double sized dildos, shove it up their ass, toss the ring and you try to get in the thong.

Q: Where do you see yourself in the next five to ten years?
A: Sleeping. Retired. I might retire in five to ten years. Doing something else. It’s been fun. I wanna keep doing it, but I don’t wanna be the old guy on the block doing porn.
I’m staring to get grey hair. I got a few years left, but give it to the young kids. The young bucks.
