“I’m Grown” will be Tiffany Evans’ second single from her eponymous debut album that is set to release around the first quarter. The song was produced by Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins and features Bow Wow. This is basically about taking people for granted (but can go in any perception, really) and my favourite song as of now. I’m grown, you didn’t know?
On behalf of everyone here at T2W I would like to wish our readers a very Merry Christmas! As usual, updates will resume tomorrow morning. You know we have to slide some “family time” in on the holidays and all of that good stuff. Anyhow, see ya in the morning!
Beginning January 1, 2008, Jay-Z will no longer be the president of Def Jam records. Jay-Z made the announcement yesterday with Def Jam’s parent, Universal Music Group, as his employment contract was expiring. Under a separate long-term recording contract with Def Jam, Jay-Zstill owes the label at least one or two more albums.
“It’s time for me to take on new challenges,†he said in a statement. But with business interests that include several 40/40 nightclubs, an investment in the New Jersey Nets, and his Rocawear fashion line, he is already one of music’s most ambitious entrepreneurs. His next move is unclear, though there has been speculation that he might strike a deal with the concert giant Live Nation, which has been seeking stakes in artists’ various business lines beyond concerts.
Universal has not stated whether or not they will fill Jigga’s vacant spot anytime soon. The official statement from Jay-Z himself read:
I’ve been incredibly fortunate to have served as President of such a culturally-defining label as Def Jam over the last three years. During that time, I’ve had the pleasure of working with many of the world’s most dynamic artists and many of the most dedicated and talented executives in the music business today, including Antonio “L.A.†Reid. But now it’s time for me to take on new challenges…
Just in time for us to begin our “end of the year” posts, Yung Joc is the proud recipient of our “Dumb Ass of the Year!” award. Home boy attempted to take a loaded gun onto a Delta Air Lines flight, and was charged with carrying a concealed weapon. 27-year-old Jasiel Robinson (Yung Joc) was arrested about 6:20 A.M. Sunday at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport before boarding, police spokesman Lt. Thomas Stacho said.
Police found a semiautomatic handgun and ammunition in his carry-on bag, and he told them he did not know the weapon was there, Stacho said. Robinson was attempting to go through a standard security checkpoint when he was stopped and questioned, then arrested without incident, said Fred Szabo, airport commissioner. Robinson was freed this morning on $50,000 bond after he was formally charged with the felony. He is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday.
“Yung Joc maintains his innocence. He would appreciate privacy as he addresses these allegations,” said Stanley Jackson Jr., his lawyer.
Stupid ass! I’m gonna give him the benefit of the doubt (since it’s Christmas) and believe his little story that “he didn’t know it was there.” But never-the-less … stupid ass!
Well, I Googled her. Whoever told this child she can sing, rap, or whatever the hell she doing needs to get shot, twice. Idk, I have to hear more material to give her a shot, cos this ain’t doin it for me – no matter how catchy, dumbed down, flashy cashy it is – it’s just not doing it for me. I can’t dance to this, I’m not inspired, I feel no empowerment whatsoever. It’s not even radio friendly. So no, thank you.
Uh-oh, are we gonna have to schedule a trip to Maury? The latest rumor in the “Spearsgate” saga is that rapper Romeo could be the father of Jamie Lynn Spears’ baby. Crazy, huh? Word is going around is that Jamie Lynn may have been carrying on a secret relationship with rapper, and according to the New York Daily News, the two have been dating for some time.
Poor child. First off, she’s a pregnant teenage celebrity. Now there’s a chance that she doesn’t even know who the father of her child is! What’s really goin’ on in this crazed world we live in?
After years, and years … and years of delays and setbacks, R Kelly’s trial date has been set for May 9, 2008. The trial had previously been scheduled for September 17, 2007 but was postponed early that month because the lead prosecutor had recently given birth.
Kelly also avoided having his bond revoked Friday morning. According to MTV News, Cook County Judge Vincent Gaughan had threatened to do so after scolding the singer for missing a hearing on Wednesday after his tour bus was stopped in Utah for a speeding infraction. An arrest warrant had been issued for the R&B singer, who avoided going to jail when he showed for a 9 A.M. court date on Thursday, but Gaughan threatened to revoke the bond anyway. Such a lucky guy.
Also on Friday, Gaughan considered forcing Kelly to call off his U.S. tour but didn’t follow through with the punishment. Gaughan said he decided on leniency because of the “unintended consequences” of canceling such an event, including disappointing fans and a loss of income for venue workers. This dude must be giving Lady Luck “the business!”
I wonder what’s gonna happen when May hits. I’ve already accepted the fact that this fool isn’t gonna see any jail time anytime soon, but you never know. Your thoughts?
I swear I love this guy! Keep breaking Ne-Yo’s heart ladies so he can keep makin’ them hits! (I know this makes me a cruel person, and I am ok with that.) BOY was amazing, if you don’t have the album yet … I will pray for you later on today. And of course, another Stargate production, I know SG like the back of my hand. The video is dope; I like the effects, Hype!
