Justin Timberlake introduced two new songs from his “20/20 Experience” last night at a show in New Orleans. Seems like JT has made an old school album of R&B songs complete with melodies and instruments. If this is the case, what will happen to all the sampled, pre-programmed fake stuff that’s become so popular? Good move, JT. Can’t wait to hear the whole thing.

From what I’ve heard, I’m so glad that Justin is not going to jump on the techno crap bandwagon that is polluting R’n'B these days. I too am looking forward to the 20/20 Experience and I love Suit and Tie.

He still won’t win over African Americans, they haven’t forgotten what transpired with him and Janet, she got all the blame for the super bowl fiasco, he’s noting but a sorry azz punk. We don’t have short memories and he is no Robin Thicke in our eyes either. He won’t get a pass as though nothing happened. Whenever you get the opportunity to talk to him, ask him why he allowed it. He ain’t a man.
