What a crazy weekend! Here it is Tuesday, and we’re still talking about it. First we hear about the whole Chris Brown/Rihanna thing, then we hear about a dude in a white Bentley on a “low speed car chase” in Los Angeles. Then we hear that the dude in the white Bentley was actually Chris Brown. Then they say, no it’s not Chris Brown. It’s DJ Khaled! Then they take that back, saying that it’s a regular dude, then they correct themselves again saying that it’s definitely DJ Khaled. They finally settled on DJ Khaled and then when the dude shot himself, some sites reported that DJ Khaled had comitted suicide.

The only true part about the whole story that a guy in a white Bentley, who was later identified as a former luxury car dealer (which explains the Bentley) named Mustafa “Moe” Mustafa, led Los Angeles police on a low speed car chase for about three hours in the area. After cops surrounded his car, he shot himself. They say all of this was the result of him losing his business due to the economy. Sad Story.

Rick Ross and a group of fellas who look like they were just released from the state penitentiary celebrated the Miami rappers’ 32nd birthday with an all-white themed party at Karu&Y in the M-I-A Wednesday night. DJ Khaled hit up the party too. More pics when you continue reading!

Above is the GOT video premiere of DJ Khaled’s latest music video featuring Kanye West and T-Pain – “Go Hard“. This single is featured on his second studio release, We Global, in stores now. Kanye’s album hits stores November 25th and T-Pain’s hits stores this Tuesday – November 11th!

The official GOT video premiere of T-Pain’s brand new video featuring Dj Khaled. Titled “Karaoke the song is a jab at artists, with the exception of rappers Kanye West and Lil Wayne as mentioned by the song, who are biting his style. He’s talking to you, Diddy! But I’m a little disturbed about the part of the song where he says his daughter told you to stop sucking her daddy’s you know what. He went a little far with that one…

Here is the T2W video premiere of DJ Khaled’s song, “Out Here Grindin”, ft. Akon, Boosie, Plies, Ace Hood, Trick Daddy, and Rick Ross. Be on the lookout for Khaled’s latest album We Global (KOCH), which is set to drop September 15th!

MIAMI, FLORIDA // SATURDAY, JUNE 28TH 2008 » On Saturday I had the opportunity to attend the “South Florida Summer Fest 2008” Concert featuring Birdman, DJ Khaled, Ace, Colby O’donis, Casley, Keyshia Cole, Akon, Lil’ Wayne and More live from The BankAtlantic Center. The show started at exactly 7:00 PM with opening acts Selena Serrano, S.O.U.R.C.E International Clique, Michelle Del Amore, Wyneter Gordon, and a bunch of local artists performing their radio hits like Grindmode’s “I’m so “High” and “Ecstasy“, Ball Greezy’s “Shone”, Colby O’Donis’ “What you got“, and last but not least Casely (if you think Chris Brown, Usher and Ne-Yo imitate MJ alot, then you haven’t seen Casely live!) who performed really well, but WAY too long for an opening act, sang about 4 or 5 songs from his upcoming album 1985 including his radio hit “Emotional“.

Usher performing “In This Club” as the opener for the 2008 BET Awards, which aired last night live from Los Angeles.

The 2008 BET Awards went down last night, and while there were a few lackluster performances (Usher’s being one of them), there were a few memorable, surprising, and exciting moments. One being Alicia Keys’ performance when she brought out SWV, En Vogue, and TLC! Another notable performance of the evening was Ne-Yo’s, where he showed us he can hang with the big dogs when it comes to his dance moves – he even brought out the Jabbawockees (winners of MTV’s America’s Dance Crew). Chris Brown did his thing as well, and surprised everyone when he brought out Ciara. Did Rihanna approve of this beforehand? I’m curious to know. And speaking of Rihanna, did anyone else notice how far she’s come along, as far as her live vocals? I was really impressed when she performed Take A Bow! And last, but most certainly not least, on my list of the best performances of the night, Lil’ Wayne! He kind of scared me towards the end of the show because it seemed like he wasn’t going to come out. The show was already running 15 or 20 minutes over when he was introduced. But he did come out, and he showed us exactly how and why he has sold nearly 1,500,000 copies of Tha Carter: III so far! He started out with Got Money (feat. T-Pain), paid homage to Static Major (R.I.P.) with Lollipop, and ended off his performance with A Millie. He had the whole crowd hyped, and ended off the show perfectly.

While the 2008 BET Awards did have its good moments, much of the show left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. I expected a lot more from Usher. His performance was probably the most hyped up (pre-show), and ended up being one of the absolute worst of the night. While I love Keyshia Cole’s Heaven Sent, she really needs to work on her live vocals … and her stage presence. She had a lot of energy, she just didn’t know how to keep it all together. She looked like she was doing too much to me.

In my opinion, the 2007 BET Awards were much better. The performances, the overall show, and oh yeah … the host! Who the hell approved of D.L. Hughley being the host of this year’s show? I hope they received a pink slip in their box this morning. BRING MO’NIQUE BACK!!!
