It’s supposed to be a pretty good read! One question though. What the hell? – @ Ne-Yo’s pictures. Ne-Yo’s my boy, but he looks a little “How you doin?” in a few of ‘em!

FINALLY, people- we have the high quality version of “Stronger,” hopefully the second single from Mr. West’s third LP, Graduation, set to drop September 18th! Yes lawd, I’m so excited about this, cause that dumb ass DJ Mark Ronson was gettin’ on my fuckin’ nerves talking all over the shit. He needed to get shot, twice. But anyway, I can now go to sleep satisfied – this album is going to be the shit off rip! Kanye West is a genius and highly underrated.

Akon’s Attorney Denies Criminal Conduct in Fan-Throwing Incident

Well maybe it wasn’t fake! (lol) Remember that video of Akon THROWING A KID into the crowd for hurling an object at him while he was on stage? Well, we said we thought it was fake, but maybe it wasn’t because now the police are supposedly getting involved! On Wednesday, Akon’s attorney released a statement proclaiming Black Night’s innocence:

“Given the information that we have reviewed to date, it does not appear to us that Akon was involved in any criminal conduct whatsoever,” read a statement from Akon’s attorney, Benjamin Brafman. “We are prepared to fully cooperate with any law enforcement agency that may be investigating this incident. We are confident that after a thorough investigation it will be apparent that no criminal prosecution of Akon is warranted.”

Fishkill police have the name of the fan who was hurled from the stage but have not yet released it. According to eyewitnesses and the fan video, the boy was pulled out of the crowd by a security guard after allegedly tossing an unidentified object at Akon. According to the Journal, the boy’s mother contacted authorities and gave them her son’s name. Police had been seeking the boy to see if he’d been injured in the incident and was interested in pressing charges. So far, no criminal charges have been filed against Akon and the Journal reported that the uninjured boy refused medical treatment on site and left right after the incident.

Hmm… oh, yeah credit goes to MTV News for this!

What … the  … flying …. fuck?! I went to bed last night with happy thoughts and a happy feeling, and woke up this morning pretty much the same. After wolfing down a nice bowl of CHOCO-NILLA RICE KRISPIES (that good shit, especially with a few spoonfuls of sugar … don’t hate), I sit down at my Dell and find out that Paris Hilton, who just went to jail a mere 3 days ago, is out! She’s out for “good behavior” and will serve the rest of her term on house arrest is what I’m hearing. Aint that ’bout a bitch?! The ho already got 45 days shortened to 23, and now she gets released and put on “house arrest” for 40 days?? What kind of GARY COLEMAN bullshit is that?! Just done fucked my whole month up. How the hell am I gonna make fun of her on house arrest? And what about this critically acclaimed novel she’s supposed to be writing? It’s not gonna be much of an interesting read hearing her talk about her butler forgetting to make a smiley face with her eggs and bacon. Ain’t that ’bout a bitch?! Urgh, let me to recollect before somebody gets hurt up in this mofo. I … AM … PISSED! WIPE ME DOWN!

For Double Up R. Kelly expands his hit-making collaborative efforts and enlists a diverse roster of musical guests that includes Usher, Kid Rock, Nelly, Chamillionaire, T.I., T-Pain, Huey, Ludacris, Keyshia Cole, and Swizz Beatz. Double Up is R. Kelly’s ninth solo release since his smash solo debut 12 Play. Mr. R. Kelly dominates the music charts with his latest LP, Double Up, the number 1 best selling R&B album in the country and it looks like its receiving some great reviews too! Now with the whole situation he’s facing now, child pornography? I commend him through the trail process, everyone is human, we all make mistakes. I haven’t seen the alleged video nor do I intend to, but I hear that the whole rendezvous, it appears like, was nothing but consensual and I don’t recall this young hoe (obviously she’s done this before) reporting to her defenses but her aunt. So, and I also believe in the aspect “innocent until proven guilty.” R. Kelly has done really nothing wrong, they don’t even have enough evidence to prove anything, with all the advance technology we have this day and age. Anyway, back to the review, the album is just ok – nothing more or less – but a die hard R. Kelly fan might beg to differ so again, I leave it at that for your discretion. In my opinion, he has indeed gotten a little reckless, watering down his lyrics to the masses, and he is getting older so I wouldn’t recommend going that route but as Mr. Carter so eloquently said, “men lie, women lie, numbers don’t.” So again, I leave it up to the consumer’s discretion. But may I add Usher and Kellz tore “Same Girl” up

    Okay, at first I was like, “Oh HELL NAW not another ’supergroup’ man,” but this is an exception, lol. Lupe Fiasco mentioned in interviews not too long ago about working with a “secret project with another superstar rapper and producer,” the secret was later revealed in the form of a group consisting of Pharell, Kanye, and Lupe called CRS! I can definitely see the group’s potential with brand new joint “Us Placers,” this track is simply genius and so true, damn! If this material is what we can look out for from the ’supergroup’ then I say, bring it on like donkey kong! Source
