FlashBlack Friday: Jay-Z and Amy Winehouse

As you awake from your food coma this morning, I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving.

Whether you’re stuck at work or stuck in the dreaded mall shopping, we’ve got the perfect songs for Black Friday.

Larry Robinson brings up the retirement album that really wasn’t a retirement album.

Jay-Z, The Black Album (2003)

Larry said: “I’ve been on that Black Album lately. For his ‘last album,’ Jay-Z went out like a champ.”

Also check out:
“Encore”
“Lucifer”

Edward won’t go to rehab.

Amy Winehouse, Back to Black (2007)

Edd said: “Oh lord, how I miss Amy. If she could have stayed on track she would have ushered in an R&B revival, based on live instruments. But it just wasn’t meant to be. Thankfully her music lives on, even if it’s an eerie reminder of her demons.”

Also check out:
“Rehab”
“Love Is A Losing Game”
