New Music!

The Game ft/Justin Timberlake (& Pharell) -
Ain't No Doubt About It

This Neptunes produced track is defo a new avenue for 'The Game'. It doesn't sound like a beat that he'd sit on AT ALL, but it is nice to see him try something new and more commercial. This is a feel good summer jam and I'm loving it. Pharrell never disappoints in the beat department, shawty knows what he's doing! The Game fans may think this is a bit 'soft' for the gangsta rapper, but I think it's refreshing! (JT is sitting on the track nicely...as usual!)

Kelly Rowland - Commander

Well it looks like another 'Electro/Pop' smash for Kelly Rowland taste, but this ! This is not to EVERYONE'Selectro/club vibe seems to be working for her, and im sure that crowd are gonna love it in the clubs! Kelly is getting next to NO love stateside, but the European countries seem to be eating her music up. I defo see where she's trynna go with this track, very Lady Ga Ga/Cascada/Rihanna ish....... I do miss her vocals tho. Home girl can sing *remembers the DC days*

Quick Flix!

T.I, who is arguably one of thee most sexy men to come out of the rap game, was spotted doing some shopping @ Luis Vitton on Rodeo Drive in Beverley Hills yesterday (April 27th).

New Videos!

Alexandra Burke ft/ Pitbull - All Night Long



Alexandra Burke FINALLY premiered her new video for all night long
which left me with a 'ehh so,so' feeling. To me the video looks like a mix between 'Ive got a feeling' & 'Just dance', but with a MUCH smaller budget. I do think she looks the best she's ever looked tho, I don't love it & I don't hate it. It was OK.

T.I - I'm Back



King of the south rapper T.I is letting everyone know that ' he's back '. Fresh from his stint in prison, you can see that he was eager to drop something for his fans, and I doubt that they are disappointed!I don't have much to say about the video, cos I realise it's a statement. But I do like the song, so thumbs up Tip! (His forthcoming album King Unchanged, is due out August 17th)

Since making his recording debut in 2005, Trey Songz has patiently and artfully crafted some of the most acclaimed and compelling R&B music of the decade. His first two Songbook Entertainment/Atlantic albums, I Gotta Make It (2005) and Trey Day (2007), yielded a trio of top ten singles, Girl Tonight, Last Time, and Can’t Help But Wait. And when the latter song garnered Trey a coveted Grammy nomination for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance, it marked the validation of the faith shown in Trey by the late Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun, who hailed him as one of “the most promising R&B artists we have had since we started the company 60 years ago.” Now, with the 2009 release of Ready, Trey Songz is more than ready to claim his place in the pantheon of R&B greats.

Brandy & Ray J - A Family Business Promo Drive!

Soul fan favourite Brandy and her lil brother Ray J, are currently on the promotion bus for their latest reality show 'A Family Business' . The show follows Brandy, Ray J and their parents, as their current manager & mum passes the business baton down to them. Wanting to take more control of the business side of their music career, the two attempt to balance business, love/dating, recording, motherhood and friendships all at the same time.

Ive watched 2 episode's so far and I'm enjoying the dynamics between the family. They seem to have a really strong bond - and it's nice to see a reality show that doesn't focus on naked girls & fist fights.

While in NY The two hit up 106 & Park, BET's UPfront & The Wendy Williams Show. They discussed their future albums, Ray J's sex tape with Kim Kardashian, the Flo Rida dating rumors & their relationship. These two are so cute!

Pics from 106 & VH1 party

Quick Flix!

Kim Kardashian was spotted on Oxford street in Sydney Australia yesterday (April 19th), rocking this really cute black and white pattered dress; ready for some serious retail therapy. The reality has been in town for a few days so far and is causing a serious media frenzy. Her ex boo Reggie Bush is officially back on the market . . . . WELL ALRIGHT THEN! :-)

DING DING DING. . . Round 1 - Ciara vs Keri . Khia vs Nicki

As most of ya'll know Ciara has been away for a hot a** minute. But it seems as tho Ci Ci's coming back "Madder than a muth@ f**cker!!". She released a viral video for a song off the album entitled BASIC INSTINCT/YOU GOT ME - Where home girl is clearly firing shots at someone, leaving us asking ..... 'who?'

Keri Hilson - Turning me Off Remix (Beyonce & Ciara Diss)

“I ain’t trying to start no mess but there’s something on my chest/ that I need to get off/ cause you turning me off /your vision cloudy if you think you the best, you can dance/ you can sing / but need to move it to the left/She need to go have some babies/She need to sit down she fake/them other chicks ain’t even worth my time to talk about/Been getting dollars/ go and get your money up” She later ends her verse with “Go head tell these folks how long I’ve been writing your songs. I’ve been putting you on. Just check the credits Hoe”

And Yes . Keri and The Clutch's name (her writing team) are ALL over Ciara's credits . I checked lol

She later went on radio to clear up the rumours, and state that she was NOT talking about B and Ciara, but by then it was too late! We all knew who she was talking about. So Im guessing Ciara was paying very close attention, and wanted to add her two cents on the situation. Listen to the UNEDITED version of BASIC INSTINCT/YOU GOT ME below :

UGMBIbyTPBSecretLeaks
(Via The Prophet Blog)

"See I was out buying Chanel bags, while I was doing that you turned up your swag (you got me)/ Yup, caught me slippin’, but get your hustle on shawty I ain’t trippin’/I let ya in the game free / shawty whole album sound just like me/ Say you weren’t talkin’ bout me, but I know that you was talkin’ bout me!"

ZAMN, SHORLAY IS MAD!....Someone please give her a hug

BASIC INSTINCT/YOU GOT ME (edited version & video):

Sooo it seems as tho the 'My Neck, My Back' thug misses is feeling salty about new comer Nicki Minaj. I dont think this is worth mentioning much, as Nicki haters automatically = FAIL for me ; However VIBE contacted her and heres what she had to say on the subject:

Publicity stunt? Honey, what do I need publicity for? I’m a talker, I’m a blogger, I’m controversial, I’m a creative writer, I’m a damn shit starter, but this isn’t for publicity at all, this is the industry. And I’m glad she didn’t mention my name on that UStream. That would’ve been bad. Everybody knows that I’m against the Barbie thing. I’ve always been real. My hair is as nappy as an African after a rainstorm. We’re all beautiful just the way we are. I’m against the butt shots. I’m not into the wigs. I’m not into the Barbies. No.

I’d rather listen to my husband Weezy, than hear [Nicki] talking about what sounds good to Lil Wayne. She’s in the studio with men writing her shit, saying it’s hot, but only because it’s what they want to jack off to. She doesn’t make music for girls. It’s a difference when I say ‘My neck, my back, my pussy, my crack,’ because it’s my own. You should be making men bow down. I respect myself. Love yourself, hoe.

But if [Nicki] was talking about me, that was so cute. Right now, I’m in the lead. You can be a feature whore and when it’s your time to drop, you’ll have nothing to drop. Your single is horrible, your voice is annoying and they’ve heard it too much. Sit down, contemplate your album and give us something wonderful. What makes [Nicki] think that Rihanna is going to let her headline her tour with all of these features? Are they going to be on stage with you Nicki, honey? I need to do a seminar to help this girl. I’ll acknowledge she has a hot song, when I write it [laughs]. Sean Garrett wrote [“Massive Attack”]? I think she needs to call me.

quote of the year:

"My hair is as nappy as an African after a rainstorm"

-OFFICIALLY DEAD-

Life After X-Factor - Alexandra Burke & JLS

2008 X-Factor winner Alexandra Burke looks STUNNING on the set of her new video for "All Night Long" ft/ Pitbull. I dont have too many kind words to say about the song im afraid, butttt she is looking very fierce in these shots! I met Alexandra a few months ago, when my friend was the opening act for her concert in Scotland. Everyone always asks me is she like she is on TV? The answer is YES. Just as mad, just as crazy lol.

Life after the X-Factor seems to be going well for Alex. According to reports she's re kindled with an old flame/friend from her past! A 'close friend' is reporting that Alex is very much boo'd up with dude, and has flown him back and forth a few times , (peep the pic below)... HOWEVER if we believed every close friend that popped out the woodwork Jay-Z would have boned a monkey, Alicia Keys would be married to her second cousin and Kanye West would be gay. . . . I admit the last one could be a possibility . #Imjustsayin

Aston took a break from recording at Sony Studios, & was spotted last week (April 15th) getting some food from burger king in LA. His bandmate Ortise was with him, but managed to avoid the camera's . JLS were the runners up on the 2008 X-Factor show - But they are showing that their far from SECOND best! The lads are currently in LA working on new music for their follow up album. Say what you want about JLS they are 'doin dis ting' right now. Signing a multi million deal with Jive records, a sold out tour, a gold disk album AND a Brit. . . *claps* Well done boys.

And for those of you who didnt know, YES it is true and not just a rumor. Mavin Humes is officially dating Saturday's lady Rochelle Wisemen. I think they look cute together . . .

*listens to the heart of 14 year old girls breaking everywhere*

Chris Brown FLAUNT's it at BET'S SPRING BLING!!

C.Breezy is looking geek sheek in his photoshoot, for FLAUNT magazine! The 20 yer old shows of his boyish good looks and sense of style in this 6 page spread pictorial. Its good to see he's not letting anyone break his spirit, even tho American radio stations are boycotting his music, and refuse to play his song on the radio. Get over it already!
Chris was also seen last week at BET's spring bling performing his 09 hit Transform ya ! Danced his ASS off as usual . His fans don't play boy, these lil 12 year old girls will cut a-bitch for talking bad about their boo.... :-/
