Since the approaching days of the movie opening members of the Jackson Family has been asked numerous times are they going to see the movie of the last days of their son, brother, and dad something more than a star to them. In one interview Katherine Jackson the mother of the superstar has replied "That's been a question they've been asking me.

Original "This Is It" | Written by MJ & Paul Anka sung by SaFire

I was at my computer showing off my blog to some relatives scrolled down to the "This Is It" clip that was release by Sony Music. Until my cousin stopped me and told me actually the song has been sung before. I was already shut down and hurt like "Mike ya fooled me". So I went on youtube and searched for the song and sure enough a woman named SaFire began singing the same exact words. Well as some critics and fans say "Everything done now never seems to be 100% ORIGINAL". In music now you always here someones sample or some little tweak that has been done to throw off some listeners. That has not been done just currently it has always been that way even when music first started. Well with that being said Check this out after the jump....

Keys N Krates | Checks the Rhime w/ATCQ

I have been sitting on my computer listening to music all day Jazz, Gospel, Hip-Hop you name it. Then I got a link sent to me out of the blue like I always do from a good friend over in Vancouver. I checked it out but the link had an Aaliyah song "One in A Million" mixed with Lil Wayne's "A milli". Basically my friend sent me the video to let me know how he was doing and to let me know what concerts he was hitting up in Vancouver and to talk about music like we always do. The group that you will see in this video is a band that performs with a turntablist. But I'm not going to "run my yap" as my grandmother would say, Just to show you a video that I found interesting. But hear goes some live music after the jump......


Speaking of "checking the rhyme" Let me know if you can hear another song being played in the live session.... I know who "he" is do "you"....
