87|09 Special | Aaliyah - illist10

Here is the mix I promised. Better late than never. I try to comprise my favorite tracks into one continuous mix. While the beginning is pretty slow, I really enjoyed the latter half of the mix. Click pic to download.

87|09 Special | "Lady Love," LeToya

Former DC member LeToya Luckett released her sophomore album, Lady Love, last Tuesday. I wasn't planning on copping the album; for one, I hadn't bought her debut although the "Torn Remix" was a cold track; and two, her first single "Not Anymore" hadn't done anything for me. "She Ain't Got..." had hit potential, but honestly I didn't like the video. Thank goodness for the internet, cause the new single "Regret," ft. Ludacris is something special. I hope the video is coming soon. Here are my thoughts on the album.

• All around it is a very solid R&B album w/ a few guest appearances. A nice mix between mid-tempo ballads and feisty cuts. It does run a little long though, but fans of hers and R&B will be pleased.
• Hot tracks : "Regret," "Lazy," "Take Away Love ft. Estelle," "Good to Me"
• If you cop through iTunes, you can welcome a bonus cut, "Don't Let Me Get Away"

In conclusion I think it's an invested purchase for those who are true R&B fans.

SICK | "Club Love," The Cataracts

Witnessed this electro-hop on MtvU. I was stunned by the random Omarion cameo though.

New New | C'mon Son III

Michael Jackson's murderer?, Stephon Marubury's career suicide, and other tid bits of the past week.

New New | "The One," MJB ft. Drake, video

I've been waiting for this one, no pun intended. I see Mary's getting her future on. I think I like it. Shout to J 24/7.

SICK | "Kingdom Under Fire II" trailer

This was one of my favorite games for the original Xbox, with its cinematic cut-scenes and multi-character battles. I'm stoked for its 360 installment, which may be a MMO strategy game.

90skd | Camp Cucamonga rap video

THIS WAS MY JAM. Jaleel was killin it and the chick from Troop Beverly Hills knew she could sing. I'd take this over Miley anyday.

New New | "Whip It," trailer October 9th

In Drew Berrymore's directorial debut, "Whip It" tells the coming-of-age story of a southern belle (Ellen Page) who trades her pageant dress for some knee pads as she enters the sport of roller derby. Film also stars Marcia Gay Harden, SNL's Kristen Wiig, Juliette Lewis, and hip-hop femcee Eve.

87|09 Special | ATTN : Last week for 87|09 here....

I, 80sbby90skd, has come to the hard decision to end the 87|09 blog as of August 31st. It comes with a heavy heart to say I will discontinue posts here @ 87-09.blogspot.com and merge these similar posts with my existing Wordpress site, millist, to evolve illist90skd. It has been a great six months and I have had fun during this experience. I will continue 87|09 favorites under the millist umbrella. I feel with school starting again, managing two blogs will become hectic with attending classes and a part time job. Hopefully you will follow me throughout this new endeavor. Thanks for all your support.
