Let's talk about Musiq! I bought the Aijuswanaseing album when I was in high school after hearing only one song ("Just Friends") and then reading such positive reviews on it in Ebony Magazine of all places. I took it home, gave it a listen, and fell instantly in love with it. His voice, the melodies, and even the song-writing skills on the album were simply amazing! A year after the album came out, a few of my friends an I went to see him and concert and I became even more infatuated with him.
When Juslisen came out in 2002, I felt like Musiq was on a roll. "Halfcrazy" and "Previouscats" were on constant repeat. Soulstar and Luvanmusiq; I liked just a little bit less, but even still, they were two very solid albums. Fast forward to 2008's Onmyradio and 2011's MusiqInTheMagiq. While I felt like Musiq may have stepped away from his usual sound a little bit, both of those albums still have a few great tracks on them. I'm not as big of a Musiq fan as I used to be, but I will always believe that the dude has talent. I had to pick this joint for "Vinyl Sunday" because I've been wearing it out this week. This song in particular. Do you have a favorite Musiq song or album? I'd love to know.

I love his earlier releases but the more recent project just don't feel the same. I would really like to see Musiq live though.
I pretty much feel the same way EOP. He was actually really good live. Nice dude too. I've seen him twice. I still have my autograph and picture around here somewhere. But of course, that was back when he was what I like to refer to as "Headwrap Musiq" Thanks for coming through homie!
This was my favorite album by Musiq, and Juslisen is a perfect part II to Aijuswanaseing. I'm laughing MAO at the "Headwrap Musiq" title. Dope post lil sis!
Is it just me but I get the same vibe with Chrissette Michelle too. No matter how much I want to like her newer material, it just doesnt feel the same. Its Def Jam's fault
Def Jam will KILL your shit! We need Uncle Russ back in that building.
