Tyrese Does It Old School And Tops The Album Charts
. While the very idea of referring to a group of songs as an "album" seems to be going the way of the 8-track, Tyrese is up front about his affection for older music, and the way music use to be packaged and sold. He's also not trying to jump on any trends, as he recently told us in a Radio.com interview. "I got just one rapper on my album," he notes, referring to Snoop Dogg, who guests on "Dumb S***." (Other guests include Chrisette Michele, Tank and Brandy.) "I'm sorry! I ain't twerkin', I don't know nobody named 'Nae Nae.' Sorry!" Additionally, he'll remind you that, when you go to see him perform, he's doing things the old fashioned on stage as well. "When you come see me in concert, it's gonna be me! I ain't got 15 people comin' from behind the curtain! I'm sorry! There's live music, no autotune, it's real singing from the soul and it's raw, [it's] the music that we all know and fell in love with." Clearly, Black Rose means a lot to him, and not only because he's nostalgic for the LP (or CD) era. He's gone through a lot in life in the years leading up to the release of his latest album. "I am not trying to live up to no hype, I ain't trying to create no false perceptions. I'm not trying to get nobody caught up in nothing that ain't real. I am simply asking, that, for an album that took me three and a half years [to make]� I lost my girl of five years, I was in and out of court for three years fighting for my daughter, I lost my brother Paul Walker, who was one of my closest friends of 14 years� everything imaginable tried to take my legs from under me, and stop me from getting in that vocal booth and finishing this album."
