A snippet of this came out a while back. Here's the full version. I got a feeling this won't be the only version, since there's a gap toward the end of the song, rappers will jump on this quickly to add their 16. So expect more versions of this soon. Props to YK.

Jamie brings another all star cast together for the remix!!!

I made it through the whole night, but this is the moment that brought me to tears. What hurts the most for me is that all throughout my childhood and adult life, I felt attached to Michael Jackson. It takes a lot of strength, in a time like this, to stand in front of a room full of people and deliver the few words that Janet did. My prayers and the prayers of the Sound-Savvy community go out to the Jackson family in this difficult time. The entire world feels their loss and we all mourn and celebrate together.

Now THAT'S how you do a music video!!! Jamie pulled a "callin-all-cars" on this one!! Oscar winners, Grammy winners, girls that kiss girls and plenty of alcohol flowin' around. Appearances include Quincy Jones, Forrest Whitaker, Samuel L Jackson, Jake Gyllenhaal, Morris Chestnut and Jermaine Dupri, among others to round out the star-studded cast. Blame It is the second single from Jamie's latest album, Intuition. Not only is this one of the hottest tracks on the album, it's a Sound-Savvy certified club banger! Don't believe me? Check your local club this weekend when this song comes on...

Artist: Jamie Foxx
Album: Intuition
Release Date: 12.16.08

Jamie Foxx can be called a lot of things, but one thing’s for certain: there’s no shortage of talent in his camp. He may be best known for his comedy and acting abilities, but he’s showing just as much growth behind the mic as he’s shown on the big screen. Intuition follows up his 2005 sophomore release Unpredictable and effectively propels Foxx back into the music realm. I particularly like the flow of this album; the hip-hop flavored up-tempo tracks start the show, then he moves into the sensual mid-tempos and brings it all together on the erotic slow jams towards the end of the album.

Timbaland shows why he’s one of the hottest producers in the game by contributing a killer beat to I Don’t Need It. T.I. keeps it cool and relaxed on the lead single Just Like Me while Lil Wayne adds some heat to Number One, a track hefty with swag from the New Orleans-bred rapper alongside Foxx. T-Pain steps up to the mic with Foxx on the club banger Blame It, a spirited toast to the effects of spirits and Kanye West along with the Dream team up for the second single Digital Girl, a look at the latest craze of cyber/digital sex.

In true R&B fashion, Intuition totally delivers on its slower tracks. The late night lovers can indulge their carnal fantasies with tracks like Weekend Lover, Slow and my personal favorite, Freakin’ Me with Floetry songstress Marsha Ambrosius. Freakin’ Me is a passionate duet that brings life to the hidden intimate desires of the masses – time to commence the baby making with this one! On tracks like Overdose and Rainman Foxx takes the role of the forlorn lover, desperate and almost whiny over the breakup.

There’s no doubt that this album surpasses his previous release in the fact that it’s just stepped up in every way. The wider selection of producers adds some variety, but there’s still a heavy presence from Tricky and The Dream throughout. You’ll also find an absence of old school sampling, which gives the album a much fresher feel, while it maintains the elements of good R&B music with Foxx’s penetrating vocals and his mature subject matter. Props to Mr. Foxx on outdoing himself once again by simply following his own intuition…

Check out Digital Girl, the second track off Jamie Foxx's third studio album entitled Intuition. This joint features some clever lyrical wordplay from Kanye and a guest appearance by The Dream, who also produced the track. Although it's Jamie's song, Kanye rather steals the show with more metaphors than a thesaurus. Still, it's enough to make me look forward to the new album, due out 12.16.08

Mother's Day is coming up: Sunday May 11, and Sound-Savvy would like to take the time to shout out those special women who have done so much in our lives.

Without question, Tupac was a lyricist beyond his years and his peers in the rap game. ‘Pac wrote this song to symbolize his appreciation for the one woman who would always understand him -- in life and beyond the grave.

In 2007, Mario filmed a documentary, I Love You, But I won’t Love You to Death, which chronicled his struggles with his mother’s addiction to heroin.

This cut is from The Louis Vuitton Don himself and it was a shout to the woman who single-handedly helped him reach his dreams. With the passing of his mother last year, one thing this joint teaches, is to honor your mother while she’s still here. Rest in Peace Dr. West.
