Akon - Freedom Album Review

Album Info

Freedom, released on December 2, 2008, is Hip-Hop/R&B artist Akon's 3rd album. Currently in the United States, it has sold about 600,000 copies. Akon's last albums, Trouble and Konvicted, were given relatively positive reviews, but Freedom got a mixture of good and bad reviews. The three singles on the album are Right Now (na na na), I'm So Paid, and Beautiful.

Review

Personally, I think that this is an absolutely wonderful album. After purchasing it about a week after it's release, I've had plenty of time to listen to it numerous times and I have yet to become tired of it. I pretty much like every song on the album, but my three favorites have to be Right Now (na na na), Troublemaker, and Against The Grain. All of the songs are very catchy with many having a dance/techno groove to them. The songs differ greatly with no song sounding too much like another. The lyrics are pretty good in most songs such as Fredom, but in other songs, they are just plain stupid like Holla Holla. I think this is Akon's best album to date, and it is definitely worth checking out.

Colin Munroe- "World Of Pain" (Music Video)

Colin Munroe's music video for his single "World Of Pain".

The video was produced by Colin Munroe. Over 10,000 still photographs were taken over the course of 2 days to make this video, that's crazy!

I remember making a stop motion video for a school project. It took about 3 days, and a lot of effort. I can't even imagine how hard these guys must have worked.

P.S. - I think I'm gonna start doing a weekly music video/song for you guys to check out, so check back soon for a new one!

How To Put Youtube Videos on Your iPod

Ever wanted to put a Youtube video on your iPod, but didn't know exactly how to download it and transfer it into the correct format? Well there is a free program out there that allows you to do just that: DVDVideoSoft. All you have to do if download it, launch it, and click where it says Convert Youtube to iPod format, or something of the sort. Then you put in the Youtube URL, click where you want it to save, and add it to your iTunes library when its finished downloading. If you're confused, you can search Youtube for step by step intructions on what exactly to do. This program also allows you to download a video directly to your computer so you can edit it or whatever you wish with it. You may also opt to only download the audio only, which will take the audio out of the Youtube video and save to to you computer as an MP3 file, which can also be put on your iPod.
