Live Video of the Day: "Soul Train Babyface Tribute"

Earlier tonight, the 2015 Soul Train Awards telecast aired simultaneously on Centric and BET and the highlight of the night had to be the Babyface tribute which included a laundry list of hit singles he's written and produced for others as well as a finale that included Babyface himself.

Featured on the piano, Babyface accompanied the majority of the acts who honored him including Tevin Campbell on "Can We Talk," Brandy on "Sittin' Up In My Room," Fantasia on both the Whitney Houston classic "Exhale (Shoop Shoop) and Karyn White "Superwoman," Bobby Brown, and Boyz II Men who offered up a medley of some of their greatest hits.

Babyface closed it out with a rousing rendition of "Whip Appeal" and you can watch it all go down below!

Podcast: "Shut Up & Listen" (The BackBeat)

In this week’s episode of The BackBeat, we discuss why TI should have just shut the hell up instead of saying his sexist comments about Hillary Clinton & women presidents, we review Bryson Tiller’s new LP Trap Soul, & share our thoughts on the American Music Award nominations, which recognized both Fetty Wap for Best New Artist and D’Angelo’s Black Messiah LP for Soul/R&B Album. We also look out how hip-hop culture is slowly taking over primetime with new shows by Ludacris, Diddy, and Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino are in the works. We get into our feelings over Bobby Brown’s alleged “tell all” book on Whitney Houston and Bobbi Kristina, as well as highlight the activism of Lady Gaga and Lupe Fiasco through their foundations to serve teenagers struggling with mental illness and bring start-ups to inner city communities.

Stay tuned to the end of the episode to hear what our Songs of The Moment are this week! Marcus chooses some great songs from Amel Larrieux, Tamar Braxton, and Janet Jackson. Kyera dips into the discography of Musiq Soulchild, Lady Leshurr, and The Internet.
