While you were wondering how a "big bang" could only sell just about 200,000 copies after damn near 8 months of promotions, shootings, deaths, remixes, a guest appearance by Mary J. Blige and a ton overstated self importance, we here at SOHH Soulful have been battling it out over the Top 5 Songs of the Moment... and this ain't a bunch of New York shit!
SOHH Soulful Top 5 Songs of the Moment...
5. Danity Kane - "Show Stopper" : This song grew on us faster than the groups name.
4. Donell Jones - "I'm Gonna Be": We hear that Donell may be doing some spot dates on Mariah's tour
3. Remy Ma & Ne-Yo - "Feels So Good": Remy deserves this hit
2. Beyonce (DING!) - "Deja Vu": Yea it's "Crazy in Love" part 2 but don't act like it ain't a good song
1. Janet - "Call On Me": I like this song, partially because it sounds JUST LIKE something Mariah would do
Kelis' "Bossy" almost made this list. I love her and her style, but for some reason this track just hasn't popped! I think Kelis would have a lot more heat at this point in her campaign if she were actually shown in the video with Too Short. Also in Busta's luke warm video for his second single, "I Love My Bitch", Kelis is absent. I am starting to believe that Nasis like... "You can sing all you want to but your ass will not be parading around in videos with my competition... IT JUST AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN BOO. Hate me now!"
With "106 & Park" being rigged, Kelis' video is No. 6 as of yesterday (June 20). I am sure it's made it's way back on the countdown because her label actually decided to release the album Kelis Was Here in August, 'cause for a while there no one knew what the hell was gonna happen.
Also, Cherish featuring Sean Paul of YoungbloodZ with "Do It" is hot... but those sisters are still a little too "high school talent show" for me. I like the song when I hear it, but it ain't stickin' yet.
Lastly, check out our first SOHH Soulful Mixtape provided by nOvaslim outta DC. It's over 64 minutes of blended R&B without all the shout outs and DJs talking through your favorite parts of the song. Download it for free here. (It's got some unreleased Janet on it)
Ne Yo is so damn overrated. I'm sick of hearing him guest starring on every damn song. His songs are average, his voice is mediocre and a two year old can do a better live performance.
Damn Tiff!
I haven't heard that Danity Kane jawn yet. I still can't get over how wack that name is.
The Beyonce cut is ridiculous. When that beat drops in the club, it's curtains, drapes, mini blinds and shades. When Hov's first bar drops..."I used to run 'base like Juan Pierre/Now I run the Bass, Hi Hat and the Snare"....the place goes BANANAS!
"you can sing all you want to but your ass will not be parading around in videos with my competition... IT JUST AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN BOO."
Well, rappers are so damn competitive; so I can't really blame him. It would probably be a bad look. But it still would have been better for Kelis' career to be in that Busta video. It's not like he is Jay-z; so maybe Nas should lighten up a little bit.
Kelis look good as shit in that vid.
Sorry I still cant ride wit yall on the Beyonce joint but at least it doesnt make me throw up in my mouth any more. Im getting use to it. I dont know why people didnt like Crazy In Love, that was my jam for a minute there.... I am REALLY diggin that Danity Kane now though and although I love Donnell Jones, I wouldnt put him on my list today.
For something I would really be happy listening to right at this very moment, Im going (in no particular order):
Show Stopper - Danity Kane
The Answer is Yes - Javier
Torn - Letoya
4 Minutes- Avant
Hello - TI
As previously stated, I like Call On Me and wouldnt mind that being in the mix but I could only pick 5 and frankly if it was gonna be a Janet song, I'd choose Pleasure Principle cause that use to be my shit LOL.
Im in a fog today though, ask me again in an hour and the list will probably have changed LOL.
THANKS for the R&B download. Been listening to it at work today and haven't finished but it's pretty tight. And what is Danity Kane, I know it's Puffy's group,but what does it mean?!
Paul-
That SOHH Soulful download is hot right! As for Danity Kane... who da fuck knows!
why isnt urban mystic on the countdown? And why is that every R&B countdown includes a rapper? Why not just singers and only singers? I agree with u on that 106 statement, people arent dumb about that bull they pulling on bet. Sombody tell me how is busted nominated for 4 awards with that garbage on the radio. b easy
:PAUL, SOHH
DANITY KANE is just a name of a character that Dawn from the group drew.
As far as the top 5, SOHH you know you are wrong...
JANET number one? Lol. I think that the top 5 RnB artists (in no particular order) are:
CASSIE, BEY, RIHANNA, NEYO, and C MEGAN ROCHELLE.
Though in reality, it should be:
TEEDRA MOSES, KEYSHIA COLE, LEELA JAMES, and JAHEIM.
And YES! KELIS is bossy.
Oh, the 5th RnB artist on my "should be list" is GOAPELE.
Uhh... Rocky-
GOAPELE is hot... she is hot, but like Halle Berry she is beautiful and boring.
What is with the Bossy epidemic? LOL I do NOT like that song. Its like the Milkshake remix, chopped and screwed or some shit LOL. Again, maybe it will grow on me but it better hurry up, lol.
Sohh thank you for putting Donell Jones on the list his album is the shit, and I love that Janet/Nelly song it is the jamn. Janet did it on this one real catchy and smooth, don't like that Beyonce song she can do better then all that screaming, she better come better then that and that's real.
I'm missing the old school Kelis, when she was still working with the Neptunes. One of my favorite songs by Kelis is "Glow" off her last album. It was a really good sound for her, very R&B. "Bossy" is very catchy though.
Remy Ma is just a HOT ASS MESS. Too Short is played out, that "Blow the Whistle" shit is pure garbage. All the members of Cherish look too much alike. There must be about 100 lbs of weave between all 4 of them. Ne-Yo is waaaay overrated, he looks like a damn ghetto blowfish. His stuff isn't all that for all the hype he receives. None of Donell Jones' albums will ever be as good as his first, if he keeps on the same path he's been on lately. Janet is my girl, but she better bring it. Beyonce is over exposed, though she is talented, her country ass can't even give an interview. "Deja Vu" sounds like it should have been on her last album. I got love for Busta, but I'll download the 3 tracks I like off his new album.
What it do Dig!!!
I see you, Allstar! Damn, you just ran it down on EVERYBODY, hahahaha....
Im sorry, I love Neyo though but I coming from a whole nother level when I say that so.... but Im sooooo mad you called him a ghetto blowfish! LMAOOOOO
:DIG
I dunno. I really am feeling BOSSY in the car system right now. It's a nice creepin song once the car is freshly washed... It just does something to me.
:SOHH
Lol. Boring, maybe... but it could be due to lack of exposure. If not GOAPELE then LETOYA LUCKETT.
:ALLSTAR
LMAO!!! 100 LBS? Lol. Funny. Was it you that made that statement about PETA after BEYONCE not for thr fur in her line, but for the horses that died to make her weave?
Sup zlertght.
Y'know, SOHH.... I like the song Cherish has out but youre right, there is something kinda juvenile about em. For me, its the visual though, not the sound. I was completely thrown off when I saw the video. Kinda changed the mood for me, but I still rock to it in the whip.
Rocky:
I so feel you about creepin in the freshly clean car. There are those certain songs that are just perfect for that moment lol. "Bossy" is definitely one of them. You and I think alike lol. No that wasn't me that made the comment about PETA and Beyonce, but that was funny as hell. She needs to find some better horses, because her weave looks a HOT ASS MESS at times. I can just imagine what her stuff looks like in that Houston humidity, and it's even worse in Florida. She has homes in both locations. I bet that hair dresser is very well paid lol. You have to admit, the members of Cherish have no variety, they all look too much alike, I can't tell them apart.
Dig:
I ain't mad at you, we all have love for our favorites. But when the "So Sick" video came on, I had to make sure I didn't accidentally start the "Finding Nemo" DVD.
Beyonce's song is okay. The beat and her voice are both good, but it would be better if they were separate.
I like Kelis's song (i got it on the ringtone), she does need more exposure.
I like Cherish's song but they won't be on my soulful list.
Donnell Jones, Avant, Mary J, Janet's song is cool to.
Only post about soulful artists on the soulful blog. Clears a lot of things up.
sidenote: too many females wear too much weave. When Kelly (DC) had the short cut, her tracks were believable. Let's keep it believable people.
im feelin tha list but i would make some minor changes:
5)Danity Kane-Show Stopper(the beat on here is crazy.. the song isnt that bad 2..the girls can do better though i seen them do better(you know yall watch making the bad 2 dont kid yourself)
4)Ciara-Get Up(the beat is 2 familiar to 1,2 step and the song is mediocre but its good, not ciara at her best but still a good single..chamillionaire was cool 2)
3)Letoya-Torn Remix(mike jone verse on here was smooth and im really feelin it, whereas leyota did her thang and rick ross has better verses just not here..his verse was mediocre)
2) Janet Jackson-Call on me(janet sings a little to low for me on here and nelly really can sing)
1)Beyonce-Deja Vu(cant lie jay-z verse was mediocre but beyonce kills it)
just my 2 cents but if you check it out it'll make sense.
I have to admit Nas is one fine ass nigga. DAMN! I would take his virginity in a flash.
Posted by: Dig at June 22, 2006 01:06 PM
^^^^^^^^^^^^ WTF? Stans just be coming out the woodwork up in this bitch.
Yo, if you gonna try to impersonate somebody, at least do your homework and say some shit they would say. And when was it ever up for debate that Nas was fine? LMAOOOO What the hell is there to admit? LOL.
What's up Dig! What's up Rocky!
Dig Yes my sista! Nas is fine!! I'm glad to see Janet is listed as #1. And i'm praying that her album does well. I can't fake. I'm going to buy it anyway. But for some reason....Beyonce is the girl. But that song DEJA VU, reminds me of....i think Touch by AMERIE/feat Rare Essence. I wonder if she was trying to go in that direction. That song was the #### in DC. An Finally, Yes Donell Jones, honorably mention. And Kelis, at first i was like WTF???? But then i started singing "I'M BOSSY!!!! It definitely, grew on me.
im glad to see donnell jones come out with a nice song. He need to put all these wanna be rnb male singers back in their place like trey songz, neyo, chris brown.
Is it me, or does Jay z kinda sound like he's tryna jack Kanye's style on his verse on De ja vu?
Oh Sorry Dig, you did'nt say that about NAS!! (Someone was impersonating you???). Now that's some crazy and weird shit!!
HOMO SHIT!
U spelled curious wrong. I'm going to TRY and ignore you!!! I AM THE WRONG BITCH! PLEASE DON'T DO IT!!!U SICK MUTT!WHY DON'T YOU SUCK ON A PAIR OF HORSES NUTZ AND THEN CHOKE ON EM!!!!!!!!!!!!
:zlertght
What up baby!
:MDJ
What's up homey? That's the same thing that happened to me and that Kelis song. The video is funny too. Who is that short ass white man busting all those moves up in the vid?
What up MDJ. Nah that wasnt me who said that about Nas but I did cosign to the ignorant muthafucka who said it, LOL.
Hey, (MDJ) I know you didnt mean it literally but when you said you were praying for Janet's CD to do well, I just got this crazy image of like 35 people in churches across the country going to the alter, lighting candles and shit, hahahaha. "Dear Lord, please bless Janet's album sales..." LMAOOO..... Ok Ima stop, I know thats your girl.
Ok SOHH.... I was out driving a minute ago and whats playin on the radio:
Sun roof open
So I can feel the wind blow
I dont give a damn
If it cracks my back window
LOL... I forgot all about that joint hahaha...but it did set the mood though so I have to replace 2 of my earlier top 5 with 2 songs that played after that cause they was banging:
Dopegirl and that Jeannie Ortega ft. Papoose. Told you it would change LOL. And it will probably change again!
Dig what does your ass smell like after your done taking a shit? Just curious.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Your breath. Stay out my ass, it might help. Well that and a tic tac, LOL.
Rock:
I know right??? I was like is that the waiter doing his thing. And then i started grooving my ass off. This Bossy song is saying something!!!!!!!!
DIG:
I am nervous for her... but shit she will be okay with that 80 mil or more contract. Shit! I should be the one crying when i look at my paycheck.
HOMO SHIT!
I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING. U CLAIMED TO BE A 6'4, 290 POUND, BLACK MALE....POSTING YOUR NAME AS "HOMO SHIT" WTF???
Not feeling the new JAY BEE collabo, just cuz it's jay and BEE doesn't garauntee heat, Jay's ryhmes were lame, Ray Charles movie was out round the time son retired, the qoutes and sh*t is mad outdated, come with something fresh, the beat was average, and Beyonce ......yawn!! Next! Until they drop a video and she's half butt naked showing that ridiculous ass I'm safe on this one!!!!
There are some strange ass people, that must be bored as hell. I'm sure you can find a fetish site for your infatuation.
My top five
1) LeToya
2) Chamillionaire
3) Cassie
4) I'm Bossy
5) Janet & Nelly
The Jay and Bee collabo is getting a bit sickening like um... Ashanti and Ja Rule; gets on my nerves. We know you two are mad sleeping together and that's sweet and all but dang. Bee talks about Jay and he talks about himself; please I have de ja vu already like um Crazy in Love; same song; different beat almost but not quite!!
What no 3LW feat. Jermaine Dupri - Feelin you... that new song is hot!
Besides real R&B has taken a back seat to Popcorn Hip Hop; not quite hip hop and not quite R&B; booty shaking and lap dances have become what an artist is instead of their true singing ability; then on top of all that Stars have to act, produce, direct, write, having clothing lines, and do everything else. Can I just listen to you and not have to see your face every dam where I go. Sit down and just sing. Are you that good? I have listen, watch and wear your dam clothes. Stay in the studio, get your vocals downs and much respect will be given with no questions asked!!
Not that i got that out of my system
1)Letoya
2)Janet ft Nelly
3)Kelis
4)Cassie
5)Donell Jones

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I heard that song; it is awful. Jay-z sounds like some horny self-obsessed teenage boy. No women wants a man that is so self-absorbed in bed. And what is his obsession with the # of women he has slept with. Whatever happened to keeping it real, Jay? I think most of his women fans like him in spite of the # of women he's played, not b/c of it.
Out of that group Beyonce's song is the only one that is actually a hit....
Billboard Hot 100
Beyonce "Deja Vu" debuted #44 after 7 days
*No other song on Billboard Hot 100
BillBoard R&B/Hip Hop Songs
Beyonce "Deja Vu"---#12 only 9 days on charts
Janet "Call on Me" ---#48 only 6 days
Donell "Im Gonna Be"---#46 and dropping after 12 weeks on charts
Remy Ma/Neyo "Feels So Good" #27 and dropping after 8 weeks
Danity Kane---not in top 50
And how about the MJB song ain't "that" exclusive. It's in the R&B mix the Soulman linked above.
Charts only determine what's hpt. Doesn't matter what Bee puts out it is going to the top. I love her but take a break doll. Xtina is going to blow them all off the chart with that powerful voice. Watch out grls
