The only reason I clicked on this thread was to learn why another artist named his album The Emancipation Of Mimi, ignoring the extra 'A' the title has.

[Junkiex]

^ That's cause it is "The Emancipation of ANOTHER Mimi" LOL

#9.

[SHOOTER]

I really want him to win a Grammy simply because he's been nominated almost 20 times with no wins; that's gotta hurt!

[marcjm]

It seems like he has been releasing a CD every year almost in the past decade.

ON TOUR WITH BRIAN MCKNIGHT


Shocked. Excited. Overwhelmed.

Listening to & studying this man’s music in my bedroom as a kid, never in a zillion years did I ever imagine I’d one day be opening for him. Man..! It’s literally a dream come true.

Can’t thank Illusive enough for choosing me to be the local support for the incredible Brian McKnight!

^ Congratulations Barry, enjoy!!

[barrington]

Woohooo! Haha...

Thanks Kishi :). It's a nice break.

The whole album sounds very low budget. It's easily his worst album. It sounds like something an upcoming R&B singer-songwriter would record on their MacBook. I know he wrote and produced the entire album by himself, so it's possible there really wasn't much of a budget used to record this album.

[Musiq]

It's pitiful that is music doesn't sell anymore. He has some great music. But these last few albums just haven't been cutting it.

[Deleted]

The album debuted at #39 with 10k. That's his lowest debut for a non-seasonal studio album since his debut album.

[Live Your Life]

LMAO. That video is everywhere viral, just like Mary J. Blige's Burger King commercial.

[Deleted]

It backfired on him because you can tell he's joking but people are taking it seriously.

[Rican@]

That song is hot though lol

Brian McKnight Previews 'Adult Mixtape' with Explicit Slow Jam
by Jason Lipshutz, N.Y. | April 24, 2012 11:05 EDT

Veteran R&B star Brian McKnight, best known for tender love songs like "Back at One" and "Anytime," is raising eyebrows with an explicit new song he previewed in a viral video posted on Monday (Apr. 23). The clip finds McKnight in the recording studio, offering a taste of a new "adult mixtape" with the filthy jam "If You're Ready To Learn."



In the clip, McKnight plays both a stripped-down and produced version of "If You're Ready To Learn," which operates in the same soulful style as his standard fare but contains choice lines like, "Let me show you your your p---y works/Since you didn't bring it to me first." "Most people only want to hear me do one kind of song," McKnight tells the camera to introduce the track, "but there's been lots of conversations I've had with men, lots of conversations I've had with women, just about other 'sexual type things' that I'd like to tackle."

By late Monday night, "Brian McKnight" was trending worldwide on Twitter, but by early Tuesday morning, apparently due to negative backlash, McKnight removed the viral clip. "okay im taking it down and ill never do it again im putting up a safe song jeez no sense of humor but i trended for a little while," he wrote on Twitter. Later, he added, "It's funny how we listen and let our kids listen to songs about killing people and selling drugs and calling women bitches… I wrote this song crude as it may be about satisfying all women and look what happened."

McKnight has dabbled in explicit R&B before, on songs like Juvenile's "Addicted" and Ill Al Skratch's "I'll Take Her," but the "adult mixtape" is an admitted change of pace, if it ever sees a release. "Just Me," McKnight's most recent album, has sold just 47,000 copies since its July 2011 release, compared to 2.4 million copies sold of 1999's "Back at One," according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Whatever. He's talented but there's no reason grab attention for some juvenile ass shit. Write hits, sucks tits.

Lol @ how this Billboard article has his quote admitting it was a joke and yet they still talk about the "Adult Mixtape" like it's an actual project.

I thought he was serious.

BRIAN MCKNIGHT Asked to Perform 'P***y' Song At Porn Awards

Brian McKnight is the hottest thing in adult entertainment -- because TMZ has learned, the singer was just asked to perform his new X-rated song at the OSCARS OF PORN ... aka the AVN awards ... and that's just the tip of the XXX iceberg.

Sources tell TMZ, AVN offered to fly McKnight out for the lavish awards gala in Vegas next January -- where he'd perform his new jam "If You're Ready to Learn," the adult-themed song that went viral on Tuesday ... containing the lyrics, "Let me show you how your p***y works."

But AVN isn't the only porn company trying to get into some McKnight action -- we're told YouPorn.com has also approached the singer, asking to license the song for its website's background music.

According to sources, several other XXX companies have reached out to McKnight as well, specifically because of the new song -- which McKnight plans to release next week on iTunes.

But McKnight isn't in a hurry to chomp at the porn bit -- telling TMZ, "I don't know what specifically I will do with this track in the future ... and I don't see myself ever performing it live, but I am flattered that people have embraced it and are having as much fun with it as I am."
