Media Take Out, the increasingly popular gossip site notorious for posting rumors and falsely fabricated stories had people talking about Jermaine Dupri going blind after undergoing laser eye surgery. Of course the rapper/producer responded via his Youtube channel stating that he “ain’t blind, you stupid mother fuckers!” I knew this rumor was bogus to begin with. As I stated before, I had the procedure done myself, and I don’t do anything that drastic without conducting the proper research. Out of the millions of surgeries that have been performed over the past 10 years (the first surgery was done in 1998), there have been ZERO cases of recipients of the treatment going blind. Don’t believe me? Make friends with Google. The information’s out there…

R&B group Dru Hill was in the middle of announcing their comeback on Baltimore’s 92Q Jams radio station when group member Woody made his own announcement. Needless to say, Sisqo, the lead singer of the group, didn’t take too kindly of him making such an announcement without discussing it with the group beforehand. Completely understandable. But the little tantrum Sisqo threw was pretty funny, not to mention that whack-ass fight between the remaining guys. What a lasting impression to make on your hometown fans! But, was it all staged? From one standpoint it looks fake, but from the other, it looks real. Maybe Sisqo’s that good of an actor, and if that’s the case, he doesn’t need to be singing in a group. Peep the video for yourselves above!

Here’s the official video for the Jermaine Dupri/Ne-Yo produced track, Rock With U, lifted off of Janet Jackson’s brand new album, Discipline. The video premiered last night on BET’s Access Granted. Congratulations to Janet for snagging the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 on her first week of release!

Gnarls Barkley returns with their sophomore album The Odd Couple (Atlantic), make sure you all pick up your copy April 8th, 2008! I’ve been turned onto Gnarls Barkley’s randomness (good random, though) when I first heard their single ‘Crazy’. Now, I’m extremely random, so soon I knew Gnarls Barkley would ultimately become one of my favourite bands ever. I still bump St. Elsewhere from time to time even now, just like I’ll be with this album soon :)

[ THANKS JONNY ALI'S BLOG ! ]

My current favourite tunes from this album, so far, are ‘Would-Be Killer’, ‘Open Book’, ‘Whatever’, ‘Blind Mary’, ‘Neighbors’ and ‘A Little Better’. If you liked St. Elsewhere you’ll love this album, it’s a little more darker, though; lots of soul and a little bit of funk. I love it long time! You can’t go wrong with GB.
