ELSV PODCAST - EP8 EXTENDED VERZUZ TAKE

Podcast Icon Ep8.jpg

In this episode. Extended Verzuz conversation on what the next Verzuz should be. As we said in the last episode. Jermaine Dupri Verzuz Diddy only works if the artists who's songs they play actually show up on the stage; we don't need a Timbaland Verzuz Swizz Beatz repeat. 

I'm ready for another R&B Verzuz. Trey Songs seems to be the topic of conversation to come to the stage but who is the appropriate opponent? Omarion? Miguel? Chris Brown? Is Chris Brown the better match up for Usher? Can we get Justin Timberlake VERZUZ Usher??? 

My pick is still the same for Female R&B with Ciara VERZUZ Kelly Rowland. No one has the hits for Mary J Blige except maybe R. Kelly. Mariah Carey is a different conversation.... which brings it back to why Diddy Verzuz Dr Dre might be better.

Plus a variety of other random music topics. Check it out on Apple Podcasts

TEN YEARS OF LAST TRAIN TO PARIS

800x800bb.jpeg

Ten years later and ‘Last Train To Paris’ remains the most progressive body of work of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ career. As his fifth studio album, Diddy recruited Dawn Richard from his Making The Band act - Danity Kane, along with Kalenna Harper to create “a look, a sound, a movement, [and] a crew. - Diddy stated that with this concept, he wanted something refreshing, something unique, something forward for himself as an artist; a love story.

Released on December 14, 2010; the album which included guest features Grace Jones, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Skylar Grey, Drake, Justin Timberlake, Nicki Minaj, T.I., Wiz Khalifa, Swizz Beatz, Trey Songz, Rick Ross, Usher, Sevyn Streeter, James Fauntleroy, Bilal and The Notorious B.I.G. spawned the singles “Love Come Down,” "Angels," "Hello Good Morning," "Loving You No More," "Coming Home," "Your Love," and "Ass on the Floor."

Debuting at No. 7 on the US Billboard 200 with 101,000 copies sold in its first week of release, Last Train To Paris would push Dirty Money to winning a BET Award for Best Group in 2011. The group would disband in 2012 with Harper and Dawn both going on to pursue other musical endeavors individually.
