This week, Young Money rapper Tyga released not just one, but two music videos for singles from his sophomore album “Careless World: Rise of the Last King.”

The first video is for “Still Got It,” which features his YMCMB labelmate Drake, who oddly doesn’t make an appearance in the video, but Teyana Taylor does.

The other visual (directed by Colin Tilley) is for the Boi-1da produced cut “I’m Gone,” featuring G.O.O.D. Music rapper Big Sean.

Watch both videos below:

Teyana Taylor is Michael Jackson bad!

The singer-songwriter channels the late pop star in the behind the scenes footage for her new music video “Make Your Move” featuring Wale.

Take a peep below:

It was a big night in Hollywood Thursday night (Jan 5) as BET celebrated the return of two of their original series “The Game” and “Let’s Stay Together” at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.

Some of the stars who walked the red carpet of the premiere party were “The Game” actors Pooch Hall, Tia Mowry, Wendy Raquel Robinson, Hosea Chanchez and Coby Bell, as well as R&B singer/actress Brandy, singer/socialite Teyana Taylor, “Let’s Stay Together” actors RonReaco Lee and Joyful Drake, and more.

Kyla Pratt even showed up with her boyfriend/baby daddy Danny Kilpatrick, as well as Larenz Tate, Vanessa Williams, Elise Neal, The Game’s creator Mara Brock Akil and a few others.

Check out 20+ photos below:

Teyana Taylor doesn’t mind putting up a fight ….. literally!

The R&B singer/actress got into an all-out brawl last weekend with the director of “Gang of Roses 2,” an upcoming action film she will be starring in alongside Amber Rose.

Teyana and the director — Jean-Claude La Marre — were filming “Gang of Roses 2″ last weekend outside L.A. … when Teyana asked to be taken home because the pain was just too much to bear.

According to 20-year-old Teyana, she asked multiple times to be taken home by car service — and when La Marre continually refused to allow that … she got in his face and started shouting. Teyana claims La Marre shouted back, “Don’t f**king scream at me bitch” … and pushed her in the face, hitting her aching tooth.

La Marre claims he only defended himself … AFTER Teyana “jumped on me and began swinging” — but says he never hit her.

Whoever started it .. we’re told several crew members had to separate them. Teyana says during the scrap her shirt was torn open (above), she got popped in the nose and mouth — and the blood ended up on her denim shorts.

Teyana’s people say they are considering legal action. La Marre says the only reason he didn’t file charges is because “she’s 20 years old and I’m 40 … kids lash out.”

By the way, La Marre is finishing the movie — a western also starring Amber Rose and Claudia Jordan — but with a twist. He’s killed off Teyana’s character.

In the words of the immortal Rick James … “Cold blooded.”

Something about all of this sounds fishy. What kind of grown man hits a 20 year-old woman until she bleeds??? C’mon son!

Teyana Taylor has dropped a new video for her version of Drizzy’s “Marvin’s Room”.

Black Hollywood came out in a big way Wednesday night ( May 4) to support the release of Sony Pictures’ newest film “Jumping the Broom” at the ArcLight Cinemas Cinerama Dome in Hollywood. The film’s stars, including actresses Paula Patton, Angela Bassett, Tasha Smith and Loretta Devine, as well as actors Romeo, Laz Alonso, Pooch Hall and Mike Epps all came out to catch the big premiere.

Other celebs, like Meagan Good, Christina Milian, Eva Marcille, Teyana Taylor and plenty more, were also spotted on the white carpet of the movie premiere. “Jumping the Broom” hits theaters tomorrow (May 6), but until then, check out the pics from the Hollywood premiere below!

Ten year old pop sensation Willow Smith has had immense success with her chart-smashing “Whip My Hair” and follow-up single, “21st Century Girl.” That being said, the precocious pre-teen has a lot of people wondering exactly when she’ll drop a full-length album.

According to musician/actress Teyana Taylor, who is currently writing a few tracks for Smith, that release date is inching closer and closer, and fans of “Whip My Hair” will love what they hear.

“It’s coming along great — very her. When you hear it, you’re gonna love it,” Taylor told MTV News at the premiere of “Madea’s Big Happy Family” Tuesday night.

Taylor, who appeared on MTV’s hit “My Super Sweet 16,” said she sees a little of herself in the young Ms. Smith. “She reminds me of a little me,” Taylor said. “I love her style. She’s amazing, so [I'm] very excited.”

Taylor revealed that the tracks she is working on will be in the same vein as Smith’s previous singles, describing them as “up-tempo, fun, dance, young, fresh, new, in the now.”

And when might fans hear that album? “Very soon,” Taylor promised. “Sooner than you know.”

Excited yet?!

Teyana Taylor has responded to rumors saying that she beat up a chick over Chris Brown.

The R&B singer posted the following on Twitter:

We guess that clears that up for now…..

It appears that Teyona Taylor’s love-fest with Brandon Jennings has ended.

The celebrity socialite announced via Twitter that she got dumped by the Milwaukee Bucks star for not giving up her virginity. (Now that sucks)

Check out her revealing tweet below:

“I guess being a virgin these days is not it because a b!tch just got dumped… #MovinOn but I will never stop respecting myself and what I’m worth.”

Some guys just can’t wait for it these days. Good for you, Teyona! “Good girls” are becoming an endangered species these days, so it’s refreshing to see someone sticking to their beliefs.

Kanye West is in the holiday spirit in his newest music release “Christmas In Harlem” featuring R&B singer Teyana Taylor and G.O.O.D. music newcomer Cyhi Da Prynce. Check out the brand new track below!!

[See post to listen to audio]

D/L: KANYE WEST & FRIENDS – CHRISTMAS IN HARLEM

Kanye West hosted an intimate concert for a crowd of 550 people at the Bowery in New York City last Tuesday night (Nov 23). The rapper was joined by Bon Iver, Teyana Taylor, Nicki Minaj, Swizz Beatz, CyHi da Prince, Pusha T, Rick Ross AND John Legend for the show, which was held to promote the release of Ye’s new album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

During the concert’s final set, Kanye took a little time out to address a few issues, including the ever popular Taylor Swift incident, George Bush, Matt Lauer, his album sales, rumors that he’s in the illuminati and more:

To do an album after the year I had ….after all the “Your career is over..die n*gga, die!…You’ll never make music again!” and then come back and do 100,000 the first day digitally alone….to be safe and do 600,000 in the tfirst week. I don’t talk about the numbers but what that number says is that people want me to keep making music…and for me not to give up. No radio singles, no #1 record, no top 10 record! … I can’t be your role model, i can’t be your anti-christ. I don’t know what the f*ck illuminati is. I like clothes and I still like girls, I dont give a f*ck what you think and on that note. I love ya’ll.

Peep the performances below…

And the Taylor Swift, George Bush, etc. rant is even further below…

(*starts out jubilant*)
“To come back and do 100k the first day, digital alone, to be slated to do 600k first week, I don’t talk about the numbers but what that number says is that the people want me to keep making music…but I ain’t here to do no mf-in politics, Im’ here to make music. I’m not here to talk in no interviews, nobody asking me no stupid ass questions. We had such a great win. Matt Lauer is a not a bad guy, I’m sure….But if you’re a child that’s being abused by your parent, or you’re a girl that’s being abused by your man, the greatest win you can ever have, is for that person to hit you in public! You see?! You see, I told you!!….”
(*uh oh….this is getting crazy*)

“there was no way for me to justify the way people judged me. When you do things like what happened last year its disrespectful to everyone who’s creative! It’s a smack in the face of everyone who tries to do something real. If I wasnt drunk I woulda been on stage longer!! Like, am I the only one who’s not crazy here?!!! Are you fucking kidding me?? And then they run with it. And don’t call me and tell me what I should do. I’m my own man!! Sometimes you scream on a n—a…my bad.”
(*collective headscratching, and shifting anxiously*)

“Everyone wants to villainize people, even if you take the concept of George Bush. There’s no leader in history that has been villainized in that way, and didn’t get killed at war or commit suicide. So anyone that lives thru it deserves one moment of redemption. (light boos) None are without flaw. The shit that people write on blogs is a reflection of what they feel about themselves….that they want to project through the people who are on TV! And now we are a mere surfaces of the energy that they are projecting on us!….”
(*save the people who are TV!*)

“Everyone needs a villain, don’t we? We need to blame someone. And for me to be considered a racist for stating a blatant truth, an obvious truth….but the nuances of my words because I am very particular with my words, and the emotion that I felt at that time wasn’t worded exactly right. But everybody came and said, ‘oh my god!’ I’m talking about 5 years ago, I’m not talking about a year ago. I’m talking about Katrina. And everybody said ‘oh my god, Kanye, I love you so much. I hated you until you said that. Now you’re speaking for me. I always thought you were an asshole but now you said something that represents me.’ And the whole time I’m thinking, that’s not exactly what I wanted to say. I was emotional. That’s not exactly how I wanted to word it. But I rode it, I rode it, just as Taylor [Swift] never came to my defense in any interview, and rode the wave and rode it, and rode it. That’s the way I rode the wave of the Bush comment. It’s not about popular opinion, it’s about when you look in your heart and know what’s right and what’s wrong…”
(“audience heckler: stop while you was ahead, son…*)

“When you look in your heart, look at what the media did. Look at how they exploited [Bush]. They said that he said, it was his lowest moment. And America, we took that as a fact. When you look at that interview, he said it was one of his lowest moments. And he said it about 10 different things. But because of the popularity of me, they exploited that…to make you watch the interview, and make you feel that he was stupider than ever to think that a rapper comment could be his lowest moment. That’s not what he f–king said! That’s not what he said! He said it’s one of his lowest moments. But it shows you the way they try to villain-ize! Everything would have been okay, if they didn’t play the audio that day….none the wiser, none the wiser! They played the audio, they fucked up in front of everybody. They fucked up big time. If you a real artist, have no fear! Say what you want, do what you want, make what you want. If its meant to be, the people will stand up, like they stood up for me, 600-thousand, after being the most hated person this time last year!….”
(*oh, that Today Show cabal will rue the day they played that audio. But on the plus side, yes, 600k is a fantastic redemption.*)

Expect rumors of Soulja Boy and Trina to start running rampant though because we hear those two were pretty close that night and are supposed to be an “item.” Interesting… If that’s the case, major props go to the 19-year-old rapper for pullin’ a chick like Trina (who just turned 31)!

I could have done a better job with Windows Movie Maker and a digital camera with video recording capabilities. Anyway, if you are indeed checking for Pharrell’s newest protoge, her debut album From the Planet of Harlem is supposed to drop this Spring, but no definite date has been set.

Some of you may remember 17-year-old Teyana Taylor from MTV’s My Super Sweet Sixteen, and some of you may have either agreed or disagreed with Mike on this particular post. Whatever the case may be, the latest addition to Pharrell Williams’ StarTrack family is filming her very first music video for her single “Google Me, Baby” and you can check out some shots from behind the scenes on yesterday’s shoot below, and after the cut. The video appears to feature cameos from Jazze Pha, Polow da Don, Omarion, and … Raz B? What hole did he crawl out of, and who let him do it? Anyhow, be on the look-out for Teyana when her debut album “From the Planet of Harlem” drops this spring.

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.

Here’s some more photos of the “over-the-weekend” festivities from this year’s VH1 Hip-Hop Honors. These are photos from the celebrity basketball tournament. I would love to see a video of this! Mathew Knowles? Playing bball? … Peep the rest after the cut.
