J hud teams with Carolina's Savior (Fantasia)

Despite the backlash received from Jennifer Hudson's album cover "incident", the girl knows how to remain relevant. From her Sex in the City role, to this sudden engagement to reality show participant, PUNK (I love New York), J Hud's camp is in overdrive. I absolutely love the current single, "Spotlight" and this new song with Fantasia, "I'm His Only Woman" isn't half bad either. Jennifer definitely has better parts written for her but Fantasia knows how to throw her weight around too. It does favor Betty Wright's "Woman to Woman" but lacking the same passion. It follows more closely with "The Boy is Mine" (Monica&Brandy). It's sad that we still have to sing about these issues but times haven't changed. Just the gas price. That should be my next blog..."When will women stop going through their man's phone?" Well, at least we know they're not singing about Young Dro.

Cassie Versus Diddy

What do you get when you add a Danja track, some Clutch writing, and a Lil Wayne feature? A sure hit right? Wrong. Diddy baby. Ryan honey. Come on. Be for real. Lil Wayne is not Captain save a talent. Seriously, I like Cassie. Me and U was classic song for all of us women who can't sing but like to think we can. But my sexy dexy Waynezy Panzy belongs with a Beyonce or Ashanti..Mariah..Shit..even Akon pulled Whitney. I'm sure you've heard the track by now. If not, You tube it. You'll also love Karina Pasian's version better. In the words of Ricky Bobby, "If you're not first, you're last!" For those of you delayed, Karina is the 16 year old who came out with "16 @War". Cassie should be beefing with Diddy for not being creative or original with her COMEBACK single. Shame on him.

Something Old, Something Blue...

Something Old..

My recount of Ozone Weekend..

Hot. Sunny. Humid. Way more men than females. Wayyyy more! CEZER Clothing line in full effect! Shout out to Gary J. in Atlanta!

Houston was very welcoming. I had no idea the clubs in Downtown Houston were so small. I'm sure I came back looking like I had been partying with K-Ci and JoJo because of my rapid weight loss. I assure you..the fault lies with Mother Sun and her bitchy 110 degree rays!

Here's my mental diary of MY experience: It's only right I start from the beginning. As a means to help Duval County's most talented local artist gain more exposure and tackle that Ozone experience, I decided to charter a tour bus and transport people to Houston. Needless to say, at even the crackhead rate I charged to these so-called ballers, it was too much for them to pay on time, therefore causing me to cancel the tour bus (Used by Gucci Mane) and fly those that did participate. And if you're wondering if the "ballers slash artists" called me the day before and the day of departure, no need to wonder, the answer is Yes. And of course, I had to leave their ass. CPT will never change. A big Thank You to the ones that did pay and made it to Texas!

Day 1: Check in to the Hilton Americas was long and tiresome. Rooms were not ready. Had to wait 5 hours for 4 rooms. Valet was jam packed. Fake diamonds in abundance. Mistah Fab looked sexy. His ice was real! Shawty Lo looked short. TJ's staff made registration a breeze.

Day 2: Conference panels were full and informative. Rick Ross and his 30 member entourage came thru. Toke pictures. Shook hands. Embarrassed the hell out of DJ Vlad. Mya was a dollface. Bigga Rankin showed out with Rarebreed. Q45 is always scrumptious. Several DJs. Several artists. Bun B is no longer sexy to me but still a legend, so much respect. Plus his album is a banger. Vanessa Phan, new Vietnamese model in the game razzled and dazzled. Room service higher than Snoop and Lil Wayne together. Clubs jam packed. Keith Kennedy linked me with some industry cats, which is always great. Hey Rico! :) DJ Lil Bee gave me my mixtape fix for the night. Oklahoma's PTH always show love.

Day 3: Went shopping with VP. Fried in the sun some more. Ate hearty. Chilled with the Rokkstar from SC, SNook. Rode in Smiley's Big Body Benz to the Fashion Show. Stunting on em'! Flirted with Maddog and Teddy T. I love those guys! Met some new eye candy from Miskeen. Treated like Royalty all night. Met Ballgreezy at the Plies show. Hated that I was there. Same ol show. Plies. DJ Khaled. Ace Hood. and some others. All I kept thinking was how I was missing out on TI's party. Chop Chop had a good show though. The hotel lobby was always a good spot to catch all the celebs but my feet hurt too much to hang out down there.

Day 4: Same ol lobby. Same ol celebs. But some good ass networking. PapaDuck was always in my peripheral for some odd reason. Dang, why does Big Boi have to be some damn fly! DJ Demp was smooth as ever. So low key. Red carpet was Horrible! No order. Hot. Sticky. Almost dangerous. Awards show even worst. Either we were too early (6pm) or it toke way too long for people to find their seats. I'm still trying to figure out how every ticket holder had backstage/green room/ and round table passes. Did they decide to do away with VIP at that last minute. And if so, why did I wait in line for 15 minutes to get my VIP passes? Most memorable moment of the night. Mike Jones getting punched by Trae Da Truth. Most funniest moment of the night. Mike Jones telling the officer, "Did you see what that nigga did to me?" and the Officer answering, "YOU WANT SOME MORE?!" Priceless! Whatever happened to Victims rights? Long day. No after party for me. Although many room invites and requests. Lobby parlaying at an all time high. This time I participated. :)

Day 5: Departure. Left Blackberry in rental car. Almost missed flight to retrieve it. Found it. Flo-Rida looked sexy flying commercial.

Solange Versus Media, Not Beyonce!

Poor Solange...Her first attempt at solo stardom feel very short with her reggae themed songs and dance moves, but she quickly recovered by signing on as a backup dancer for big sisters, Beyonce and Kelly. Her defiant personality and urge to stand out from Bey landed her pregnant and married all before the age of 18. Now, in a perfect world, that would have been perceived as pure debauchery but in my world, I never saw it as a problem. Maybe the marriage was a cover up and a publicity stunt, but at least the paperwork was real. (Sidenote to BRANDY's camp-Never do that nonsense again.)

Now, Solange has released a new album, "Sol-Angel and The Hadley St. Dreams." She is making several TV appearances and has even started a VLOG (video blog) as a way of self-promoting this project. I am trying my hardest to like her and I think I do. I'm certain I like taht she is her normal self on and off camera. She displays her irritation with media, and is catching HeLLa flAck for it now. What disturbs me the most, however, is her singing. Either she holds back or just can't sing. She sounds pretty on the mic but pretty will get you as far as Cassie-and we know how that shit sounds. Solange Knowles-Hadley: Tight tracks. CHECK! Great look. CHECK! Stage presence. CHECK! Vocals....ummm, what's the opposite of CHECK? Minus maybe? You get the picture. I would love for her to go easy on the backup singers. Equal shares of the single, "I Decided" should be provided and The GROUP could have been called Sol-Angels! Or Maybe Solange's Child. Nevertheless, I hope she sells at least 50k first week and I may even cop it. Or maybe one of my readers will send it to me. :)

Ricki, Blast that ASS!

If you know me, either personally or by the tone of my blogs, you would understand I am very supportive of all independent artists, especially those wronged by labels. Well. With that being said I'm gonna let you adorable readers into an incident that happened last night. Another independent artist/model and I visited this so-called mansion to mingle and network...or so we thought...of a NFL player in Florida. Upon arriving we noticed that there was no furniture in the home except for a couch and chair, one of which was occupied by none other than Chopper aka Young City, formerly of Making the Band One. He was lying under a cheap hospital velvet blanket and his "million dollar" jewelry lay on the adjacent table. To break the ice in this hospital room and give this sad excuse for an artist some much needed attention, I smiled and made this friendly comment. "Wow..I know who that chain belongs to." (It's not hard to recognize seeing as he is the only one running around with that monstrosity of CZ/diamond mixed whatchamacallit). He answers, "Yeah." Then rolls back over to continue his nap. After a 45 second pause..which is too long in normal convo, he turns back over and says, "BUT DON'T TOUCH IT!" Excuse Me?? Who does that? Who reaches for a strangers jewelry no matter how much glass is in it? I felt so offended. I had to tell him. "You must not know bout me." Seriously! I don't know many people who would do that and those that would, don't associate with me. Maybe he thought that the truth of its contents would be revealed. Well, Young City..I got news for you...We already know!!! But it doesn't stop there..then he peeks under the cover and watches me for a good 2 minutes to see if he recognized me. No need honey. Your 15 second promo on my site ends here. Enjoy the pics! :)
***Succeeding in life is all about the relationships formed..no matter how big..no matter how small*** Because this is a MUSIC blog, I'll do you this justice. Chopper is working on some new music. A song or something. Please support it.

3-6 Mafia and my other hubby, AKON!! (VIDEO)

This song hit the the net and airwaves last month but I love it and so should you. I'm not feeling the dark mood color of the video but Jim Jones is looking ice creamy and Akon is on the hook so it's worth your viewing pleasure. Memphis is a small town but they sure do put out BIG talent. Shout out to DJ Freddy Hydro!

Leaked track from Young Jeezy!

PR's are in overdrive!! In the words of Young Jeezy, "And I looove it!!" OBAMA for change! For the second time in history, there's no secret who most people will be voting for. I just hope the votes are counted correctly this time. NAS started the fuel with the whole "NIGGER" campaign, but most folks were only bold enough to wear OBAMA t-shirts or make cartoon parodies..you know, just in case of a backlash. Then Ludacris jumps in the water first with his song obviously showing support for CHANGE, in his ever so country way. It was not received well...at all...by anyone! I don't even think he liked it after it played publicly. People, People! We want to look and sound intelligent when speaking of the election and Luda didn't make the cut on that one. Then there was controversy about Jeezy and his decision in voting elephant versus donkey. Vibe Magazine displays a more republican side, while XXL and other sources beg to differ. Thankfully his gorgeous publicist and effective team have concluded the rumors by leaking another Jeezy track titled: MY PRESIDENT IS BLACK. click to listen. It's now clear that Jeezy is on the winning team after all. "Crude oil as black as my nigga BU" -Lyrics from new track. I wonder if someone from Konvict wrote this track. If they're referring to Akon's brother Bu, then they gotta be from Atlanta at least. Everyone is family there so jiving is acceptable. NASir Jones otherwise known as Nigger or better known as Kelis' husband is featured at his finest. That man is so lyrical but not merely getting the support and attention as Belly days. Does he have to get nastradamus on that ass? Anywho. OBAMA for CHANGE!

Frankie Cole gets a REALITY SHOW!

Just to clear the air. This is not an, "Let's bash the Atl week!" I know judging by my last posts, it may seem that way, but Hotlanta keeps the Internet buzzing. I'm saddened a little by this post because no matter how hilarious the pic looks, its sad that this woman "may" be on the verge of landing a role to the sequel of "New Jack City". (Feel free to imagine which role.) On a good note, Frankie Cole is said to have her own reality show appearing soon and that is the reason she can be seen at just about every party that's popping. Maybe they're getting footage. But even if that's the case, why must it all be gathered from club venues and why is she blowing Keysha's, I mean her money on such bad wigs??!! My heart goes out to the family because celebrity life is tough. With all this attention and fame, will Frankie relapse? Is it wrong to ask if she's already done so? (And what is the dude picking his nose thinking as Frankie walks by?)

Crime Mob Female members Battle!

In Atlanta, mansion parties are known to be all the rave. Old money, new money, and those on the right path normally fill the place with their expensive rags and icey outerwear. But...yes there is a but. Normally you won't catch a cat fight between sisters who shared meals together, shared the stage together, shared group members...oops..shared rhymes with group members together, to have it out at lil Souljah Boy's party. But. They did. Watch the battle below and feel free to gather your own opinion. (Shawty Lo looking all old)
Diamond wanted drama so that she can have a spot on the Internet today. good job! They say she was upset that Princess dissed Lil Scrappy, her rumored boo. Okay...who cares right? Please support the next project she is surely coming out with. Even the strippers get pity dollars on a slow night. The nice thing to do would have been to make it a true PR stunt agreed upon by both parties. Not an ambush. I'm feeling like Monique right about now. "Skinny bitches are evil"

Monica + Rocko = Monicko?

In another life, I was Monica. Sounds funny, but when I tell you I have followed, not only her career but her life since her debut, it's no bull. From her boyfriend that passed, to C-Murder, to the Young Buck affiliation, and some others. The girl has dated mainly thugs. Such similarities, I love a man who can handle me too. NO BITCHASSNESS! I ain't mad at her cause until I find my "Rocko" and pop some pretty babies out for him, I'm gonna still play date too. Now, Rocko and Monica were spotted out in Atlanta on Saturday at a party I was invited too but had to miss because of whiny riders. (Side note: Please drive your own vehicle when in the A handling business) Nevertheless, my dependable bloggers, NecoleBitchie and Blogxilla were there to cover it and get plenty of photos. My concern is not that Rocko went on stage and announced an engagement that was already rumored before baby #2 was even born, but that people are actually surprised. For those of you who just write about celebrities but don't understand how the music game is..Back when Monica was dropping "A Dozen Roses." Rumors were already circulating that her man's career was being financed by her so the best thing would be to stay out of the spotlight when he drops. Rocko came on the scene as a "swag" heavy Atlien. Some say sexy. I say Louis. That's all I see when I look at him. But then again, Louis Vuitton is sexy so...There u have it! Sex sells. Single Sex sells even more. (By the way, from the tongue of Rocko on a conference call earlier today, "This morning" is officially the single now.) So request it. Spin it. Burn it. Whatever. Ok. Back on track. I'm sure Monica wanted the world to know she wasn't just a "sideline ho" and that she lived with her "babydaddy" but out of respect for her man and his wanting to get established as an artist, didn't broadcast it. Some photos here and there, but that's it. Now that he has reached somewhat of a single success status, Monica's career must move forward. It's time for another paycheck..hence another album. (Which by the way, I will purchase.) I say this because I'm confused. Is he announcing the engagement now to help boost his numbers or is she trying to get her name circulating again before the her 1st single hits the airwaves?? All I know is I had never seen her doing interviews speaking so openly about their relationship until now. They've been together for over 3 years. You do the Math. I just hope they do another song together. "Thugs need Love" had such a local sound. To be honest, times have changed and celebrities are realizing..married or not..you can still be relevant. No need to keep hiding. I believe you should be with someone who can compliment you and your career and vice versa.

The South's reign up for grabs!!

Listen Up People! Especially my dirty south heroes who never miss the opportunity to scream, "the South run this hip hop ish!"Is it me or are Northern cats stepping their game up in the 2008? Ok, well maybe the talent has been around.. but with the parade of dance fever tracks tearing up ring tone sells, major labels kept these lyric driven individuals on the infamous two year back burner. Well, today's a new day! Not only has the country done a 180 economically speaking, Hip Hop is up for some serious changes. And to be honest, I ain't mad at it. Hell, if you're smart, you'll scoop some Northern talent of your own. You got Nas, who recently dropped an ill comeback album, Untitled. Akon pushing Red Cafe. Maino's "Hi Hater" is tearing up the charts! One of my favs! JD picked up Q. (TAG Records) Weezy baby snatched up Jae Millz and Nicki Minaj!! On the R&B tip, you got Raheem Devaughn, DWELE with the new sickness, and Jazmine Sullivan carrying Philly like a new camouflage Louis V. And that's only speaking of the Newbies. Not only is the South feeling the pressure to stay on top, you got Northern cats beefing with their Northern counterparts trying to get that spot. Everyone knows after this batch bakes, the dough will surely turn sour again. Black folk just love to dance and get freaked under the sheets to some country banging shit. We can't help it. You better get it while it's hot! Back to the beef. I'll make it quick. Hell Rell. Who? Hell Rell. Who? HELL RELL. I know. Doesn't strike a chord. You may remember him as Camron's homeboy. To be honest, he is doper lyrically than the other Diplomats. Anywho..he doesn't like RED CAFE. Probably because RC is fine as hell and got a actual chance at success dealing with Konvict. HR on the other hand went from Koch to BabyGrande. Both major indie labels. (Thats majorly concerning.) Ness from "Da Band" hating on Jae Millz and Lil Wayne. Ridiculous. I agree. Ness says he don't like Lil Wayne's reason for signing Jae Millz. In the words of Maino, "HI Hater!" I'm still curious to see how this whole Lil Kim/Nicki Minaj plan works out for Young Money Ent. I love her feisty attitude but I'm not exactly sure about the "voice" yet. And I'm only mentioning her because A. Lil Wayne is my brother from someone else's mother. B. She does have a fattie. Can't hate on that. And C. I'm curious to see if anyone thinks she's the next Hot female MC. Shouts out to Fendi-Hood Locker, Greensboro NC. I hope Wayne gave you a finders fee for that one.

Baltimore's Finest Early passing..

Every morning when you awake, do you thank God for your existence? Do you sometimes forget your purpose in life while wondering what your daily schedule consists of? That's how my day began. I awoke at 4am and started on my "to-do" list. Around 5am, I received a message from a friend who is founder of a dj affiliation that I support wholeheartedly, and the tone was not at all the normal. He informed me that he had lost a friend. DJ K-Swift. My heart sank. For those unaware, K-Swift was THE DJ of B-More. (For respect of her family, I'll only state that she passed while throwing a pool party with friends) From radio to clubs, to high school parties and events. She worked hard to show that females DJs can be just as successful as their male counterparts. I'm saddened that although she has come a very long way, from the weight loss, to creating a K-Swift brand, she had so many other ventures on the radar to complete her circle. K-Swift began djing and learning the craft of music at such an early age, that her accomplishments all came while still in her twenties. Women of her caliber give me reason and drive to fight harder, not only in music, but life. My heart goes out to her family and friends. Please take a moment to appreciate life and pray for those in grief.

R.I.P. K-Swift

CORE DJS Retreat comes to CAROLINA!**CoSigned

The most prestigious DJ coalition worldwide is having their anniversary retreat in the lovely, "non-Alcohol selling on a Sunday", state of South Carolina. For those unaware, SC is the state connected to Georgia and North Carolina. All jokes aside, SC is a historical place for me. Bike Week Memorial Weekend 2000. My first encounter with Duval County men. Wow. We'll save that for another post. Seriously, I'm so thankful music professionals have taken notice of both Carolina regions because the artists and DJs have really been putting in time, work and lots of money. A Special Shout out to DJ Ike G-DA for all his effort. From award shows, to Dub car shows, to most recently Hood Hard Day, I'm glad to see far-east residents gain access to valuable industry information and professionals. I am such a Core fanatic. I know that sounds corny but until you've been to a Core Event, conversed with the most intelligent DJs and executives in the industry,The ones that actually break records!, you wouldn't understand. The Core DJs Retreat will be the single best networking event for anyone within the southeast region in September. Dates are 5th -8th in Myrtle Beach, SC. Please visit their site for more info. http://www.coredjs.com/ This event is officially co-signed by Miss Ricki and I will be in attendance!!

Being YOUNG is no excuse, BERG!

It was so funny to run across Yung Berg's YouTube clipping the other night, because this idiot was already on my next to do list. I've been keeping in the know with his "i don't like black butts" comments from other blog sites and my feelings have been the same about the matter. He's a liar and he says Ice T-like comments merely for attention. He understands that he has no relevance in this industry yet and he is trying so hard to break in. I watched a video of him conducting an interview with about 7 dudes standing in a line behind him "military style" while he rested his dusty feet on the engineers workstation. Wack move #1. He constantly refers to the smallest beef in existence with BriscHoe in all interviews and at the same time, apologizes to him and other rappers (Flo-Rida.) Wack move #2. Then he has the audacity to say he don't like black butts. Well damn. "Why u wanna go and do that love, huh? Now, Why U wanna Go and Do that??" Wack move #3.So of course, now that both "SexY" singles are fading and the current joint is clearly not gonna survive, he hurries and records an apology. Sorry hun. The apology was sweet. Short and sweet. Wackest Move #4.But who are you apologizing to? We dark butts were never fans anyway. First single, we only liked the hook. Second single, we only liked Ray J (and kim kardashian knows why) And this new auto-tuned single disguised as talent is not fooling anyone. Although, the young girl Casha has a cute, catchy hook, its pitch will drive you crazy if listened to at high decibels. "Give you the Business!" Wow. What a waste of a video. The whole concept is geared around this young black butt girl saying she'll give him the business? Well honey, take "your business" elsewhere cause Lil Ice-T Jr. don't want it.

"Get Like Me!" CoSigned!

"Stunting is a habit..GET LIKE ME!"

Please don't perpetrate... that song makes you feel some kind of confident! Especially if you're out clubbing with wallets thinner than a post card with no stamp. You know your butt is the main one, Stuntin! Just hoping the chick thats digging you don't drink. David Banner on the other hand is not perpetrating. I am so loving the mature Banner who speaks from the heart about not only the state of hip-hop but also the government and society as a whole. And please believe me, when the man did "the wop" in the "Get Like Me" video, it's evident he's enjoying life with the knowledge of his art producing such a banging ass track and the toys to prove it.

"THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD" IN STORES JULY 15TH!!

Pure Jeanius..Jean Grae that is!

Posting this blog will officially set me behind schedule by two hours. But hey..its not like I love highway driving anyway, so why not?

For the record, I am embarrassed to say I've been asleep at the wheel of my broke down Beemer. Musically that is. When I first saw the Myspace Music featuring a female by the name Jean Grae, I immediately went to her label's page. (Blacksmith Music) Loved the intro track playing..added them as my friend..then hit the back button to go read my mail. You know unread 'incoming' messages are like Mcdonald's Dollar Menu. You really don't want to..but hey..fuck it.

What I should have done was listen intently to more tracks to get the proper nutrition I've been missing since my girl Lauryn Hill. Who knew I would later meet someone who asked me the sexiest question known to mankind. "Have you heard of...?" Seriously people. The way to a mans heart is cooking. The way to my heart is MUSIC. If a man can intrigue me by his knowledge of GREAT musical talents, I am sold! Especially if I'm stumped and have to go do my research. Thankfully, I had heard of her..but if he'd asked me to recite one of her lines...Wow. Indeed the embarrassment would have been clearly evident.

With that being said, I returned on my journey of "Jeaniusness". And let me tell you...WOW! Did I use that word already?..oh well..This chick..no..This wonderfully gifted lyrical beast of a woman shut me down. If you don't do anything relevant this summer (getting drunk and partying doesn't count), please buy the new album, released July 8th "Jeanius" by Jean Grae.

My favorite, and keep if mind I haven't heard it in its entirety.."Don't Rush Me."

Here's a taste of "Don't Rush Me":

i know im on the right path

to who im gonna be at last

But Don't rush me Nigga!

i know im wrong and right

at the same time both under dark and lite

and they say life means everything to LIVE

but at the same time i got everything to GIVE

Don't Rush me Nigga! Don't Rush ME!

Oh, and please quote her for this,"I got some things to work on, My moodiness like masturbation..gets its jerk on!"

That's how I feel about my somewhat bad ass attitude. Classic.

Musicians Holding down the Forbes List of Millies

Okay, if you don't have a subscription to the Forbes mag, its understandable. Should you at least read it online? Yes. The Forbes Magazine list of "millies" and "millionettes", is motivating and the list has evolved tremendously over the last 10 years, its time to update any delayed music junkies and artists who strive to be amongst these greats.
These figures account for monies made during June 2007 - June 2008..(Does not include Jay's 150 million deal with LiveNation..maybe the inks not dry.)

1. 50 Cent $150 million

2. Jay-Z $82 million

3. Beyonce $80 million (50 mill made off touring alone. 10 in endorsements.:L'oreal-AMEX-etc.The rest album sales and movies The girl is BADD with Double D's! Not her breast silly)

4. Diddy $35 million

5. Kanye West $30 million

6. Alicia Keys $15 million

I would say the "Carter's" are the most intelligent, income producing couples of the decade! What about you?

Jay-Z new slogan,"This is What it looks like!"

See there was a slight struggle with this post because I try to remain as new and updated as possible. I hope everyone has seen the video or clips of Beyonce's man playing the guitar..If not, you know I got you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhb2nIOfMas It was classic. And Yes, most artists play instruments now. It's the only way to still feel relevant in this industry when you got so many imitators. If you have time, please watch Jay's entire show. You can see Beyonce rocking hard, spitting line for line with her man! It was so exciting! The head dude in charge didn't want Jigga to headline because traditionally its for Guitar playing artists. (Rock) So Hov being the innovator that he is, learned to play and Rocked out to "Wonderwall"! The entire show was played with a live band. (thanks to wifey for help on that idea i'm sure) Check out Jay to the Z in this interview moments before he made history as the first EVER Hip hop artist to HEADLINE at Glastonbury in England.
For those of you delayed..thats the same event Amy Winehouse performed and punched a fan and dissed Kanye West recently...there, now I know when violence is mentioned, that triggers that forgotten memory and ears perk up alittle bit. But most importantly, its the largest music and performing arts festival in the world! Check my dude's swag! He's so Hova in this video. I am Sooo gonna overuse the slang, "This is what it looks like!" Why not? He's telling the truth. The paparazzi and their mamas want pictures of Jay and Bee on an hourly basis. Speaking of Beyonce, this girl is down for her Boo! Check all 7 videos on the Tube and watch Bee go crazy! Say it Again Jay.."THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!" Success that is.

Got Damn! TI and Shawty LO Friends Now??

Pictures say a thousand words...From this flick, I hear Shawty Lo saying,"Yeah lil nicca..You doing ur thang right now..imma get some of that rap money too.."No Matter What"!And T.I. being the friendly dude he is saying,"I'm getting it but I respect the OG's!"

Then TI's flick says,"I been getting money..gon keep getting it, and just for the record nicca, I got chains too.!"

And of course Shawty Lo has profited all ways around this so called "beef". Look at those chains now..Can't hate..Lo was playing Chess..just didn't quite capture the King. Now this just in...Last night in Milwaukee, sexy ass T.I. and OG Lo squashed the infamous, Bankhead Beef. Lo's album has been out sinc late Feb 08, and currently sold close to 357,000 units as of late June. Not bad for an independent first timer. He'll go Gold before the end of the year, if he can win over the other half of Atl who are die hard TI fans. So..I ask..is this another Chess move to sell more records since its obvious Lo needs features and TI's Paper Trail album (Due 8-12-08 but I believe was pushed back to 9-9-08) will go platinum first month out? Or is it TI who wants the sales from Lo's fans...sike! lol..That was funny. You be the judge. I personally enjoy both of their music. TI speaks what all the street CEO's wanna say..Shawty Lo speaks it and makes them feel like they can be the ones who say it. Hence the widespread disease of "Rapperitis".

This just in! New Joint from TI, most likely will be apart of Paper Trail Album.."Whats Up,What's happening!" (Another Shawty Lo Diss) But yes...they did squash it...I wonder if the beef will resume after the album drops..since most tracks are directed at Lo and the rest of the haters..(50)

**thanks to Reg for that one!**

Sprinkle that DOPE BOY Magic on me!!

This girl don't quit!! I love IT!! She got me yelling, "I'm bout my mutha****n MONEY!" and now "Give me Dat DUCEE" and now I'm trying to get some "Dope Boy Magic" sprinkled on me. MICA SWAIN is the hottest chick coming out of North Carolina. "Yeah nicca I said it!" Her camp is in every city I visit, Not as much as Sonny Rich's but thats because she's too busy showcasing in Atlanta on the regular and performing for great individuals such as Tony Neal, Akon, Grand Hustle..hint hint..

Carolina definitely got Now, but Mica's the reason why.

Oh, and don't hate on the fact the girl got ass for days with a cute face!
