CD Review: Trey Songz "Passion, Pain & Pleasure"

By Alvania

Well....well...well, where do I begin? I'm a firm believer in listening to something a second time! So I had the opportunity to be blessed with the new Trey Songz CD today! I was feeling uber excited about popping it in my CD player after leaving work.....after about half way into the CD I began to get a little disappointed because this wasn't the Trey Songz I was used to (you know the "I Invented Sex" guy)?!

After having good reviews from my co-workers and Twitter friends, I decided to give it another try! This time I listen to the entire CD on my laptop without any interruptions and it was much better the second time!

 If you're expecting a "Ready" or maybe even "Trey Day", this CD isn't it! The CD is good, but it isn't Trey's best work!  "Passion, Pain & Pleasure" is broken down into three categories....Pain...Passion... & Pleasure!

It seems as if Trey was going through a MAJOR breakup beacuse majority of the songs are about breakups! My advice is to listen to it for yourself, don't go off of other peoples' opinions beacuse you actually may enjoy it! I guess I'm just not at a time in my life where I'm heart broken! Enjoy!!!!

Trey Songz Gets No Love
Well he may be cute and people seem to love his music, but apparently ya’ll don’t like watching him on television. Trey Songz’s reality show, My Moment, is getting such bad ratings that it may not make it to next season! Last week he had less than a half million viewers!

Ladies First
Hopefully another BET show will do better than Trey! BET has announced its first ever original music documentary. My Mic Sounds Nice: A Truth About Women and Hip Hop will show the impact that women like Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, Missy, Eve and Trina have had on music. You can check that out on BET on August 30th at 10pm!

Nelly Overcomes The Hate
Speaking of shows, it seemed like Branson, Missouri was hating on Nelly by trying to stop his show in the city, which was supposed to happen in the parking lot of the Grand Palace. The city was trying to deny the permits needed to make the outdoor show a reality, but show organizers have moved it indoors to the mansion theater, avoiding a showdown in court.

Lebron James’ Girlfriend Splits…Her time that is!
Savannah Brinson told Harper’s bazaar that she splits her time between Cleveland and Miami because they didn’t want to uproot their children. She also said, “personally, Miami was not my favorite place.”

Congrats are in order to Ms. Berry…she is officially the hottest MILF. She’s got the #1 spot on AskMen.com’s top 10 list of celebrity MILFs.

Will.I.Am Has A New Day Job
Congrats also to Will.I.Am. He was just named Director of the Grammy Foundation.

Kanye West Pushes Back
All you Kanye fans that were anticipating his new album will have to wait a lil bit longer! He nixed the September 14th release date he originally had and said on Ustream that his album will now be released sometime in November. But he did say his 2nd single is coming in about 20 days!

Hip Hop Beef Heats Up
There may be a battle brewing between Rick Ross and young Jeezy. Jeezy just released a track called “Death Before Dishonor,” and it seems like he’s taking some subliminal shots at Da Bawse! He says, “How you blowin money fast / You don’t know the crew/ oh you part of the fam? / Sh*t…I never knew.” And Torch, from Rick Ross’ group triple C’s went on twitter and started a trending topic called “#JeezyWhyUMad.” Wow…this is gonna get ugly!!

8 Cents And Counting: Diddy’s Adds His 2 Cents
Diddy has finally weighed in on the Lil' Kim-Nicki Minaj beef. He said, "I love Lil' Kim and I'm sorry that she's mad. I never thought that by me working with another artist that she would take it the wrong way... Nicki never did anything to her." He also said Kim’s anger could be caused by her being unsure about her comeback. "MCs, when they coming back out, a lot of times they like to talk crazy and do what they do... At the end of the day, everyone respects Kim for being the Queen Bee... But I ain't gonna make no apologies for working with Nicki Minaj."
