Even though this would be more so a cover I still decided to do Who Owns the Track? T-Pain‘s single “Can’t Believe It” was growing on me but I think now JoJo made me like the song as a whole! Who Owns the Track?

“Numba 1 (Tide Is High)” will be a track included on reggae man Kardinal Offishall‘s forthcoming album Not 4 Sale in stores Sept. 9th. Now, initially the track featured The Pussycat Dolls, but decided to use Rihanna instead I guess for that “island” feel. I actually kind of like The Pussycat Dolls’ version of the song better in my opinion. What do you guys think?

All Hip Hop is reporting that Dr. Dre‘s son, Andre Young Jr., was found dead in his home over the weekend:
Dr. Dre’s son has reportedly died, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner. The body of Andre Young Jr. was found in his Woodland Hills home on Saturday morning, says a report in the L.A Weekly. Andre Young Jr. was only 20.
Young went out on Friday night and came in about 5:30 A.M., but his mother found him unresponsive when she checked on him at 10 in the morning. She called 911 immediately.
The cause of death will be revealed after a toxicology report. Andre Young Sr., professionally known as Dr. Dre, has not released a statement on the death of his son.
Dr. Dre is currently working on his final album, Detox.
On behalf of Think2Wice, I would like to express my condolences to Dr. Dre and his family at this obviously painful time.
Chris Brown and Rihanna, collectively known across the blogosphere as Chrianna, were spotted hand-in-hand recently on the set of somebody’s video in Hollywood. Since they’re both the hottest thing since instant grits, I’m not sure which one out of the two is filming a new video. But if I had to guess, I’d say it were Chris since Rihanna just released hers not too long ago. Continue reading for more.
It goes Hillary Clinton, BARACK OBAMA! The homie, Young Jeezy, was spotted making his rounds in Manhattan rocking a Barack Obama t-shirt. For $20 or less, you can have your pick of 3 really dope Obama shirts over at Drannek! Make sure you let everybody know that the next president is going to be black, whether they like it or not 😉
Oh, say does the star spangled banner yet wave! Team USA took the gold against the final contender which was Spain. They’ve came a long way with one of the best line-ups seen in the Olympics in awhile. It was a great race towards the gold and it was definitely worth it. Team USA won by 11 (118-107). The match against Spain wasn’t as elementary as they would’ve hoped but it still didn’t road block the way to the main prize.
Today marks the 7th anniversary of the untimely death of Aaliyah Haughton, a popular female R&B singer who had a music career spanning from the mid-nineties all the way up until the year 2001, when she was suddenly taken away from us due to a faulty airplane engine and an overloaded cabin. Ironically, a few days prior to today, a new video from Cassie was released. And within the first few seconds of watching the video I could point out elements of Aaliyah’s style right off. I didn’t even have to look that hard.
Now, don’t get me wrong. Cassie is a pretty girl. No, let me take that back. Cassie is a VERY pretty girl. I’ve always said that she should stick to modeling and just leave the singing thing along because I can never take her seriously as a singer/entertainer. I’m sorry, but that’s just the way it is. But the fact that the people behind her are even CONSIDERING molding her into a 2008 version of Aaliyah is appalling and a little heartbreaking, with me being a huge Aaliyah fan back in the day and all. Continue reading to see what I’m talking about, and leave your thoughts in the comment box. I’m curious to see whether or not it’s just me who thinks this way.
If you didn’t know already, we here at Think2Wice have a special place in our heart for rapper Yung Berg. It’s an extremely dark corner with no A/C, no water, no nothing. Close your eyes and imagine “hell.” Yeah, not that bad, but damn near close (because we don’t have hell in our hearts lol). So basically, whenever you hear the name “Yung Berg” (or Yung Fag) mentioned on T2W, know that something has happened to him that allows us to make fun of him. But anyway, Yung Fag got into a scuffle over the weekend which resulted in him getting his chain (pictured above) snatched and he ended up leaving the scene with a couple scrapes and bruises. Here’s what happened, according to Necole Bitchie.
Yung Berg flew into Detroit late friday night for Hot 102.7’s annual Summer Jamz concert but instead of going straight to his hotel as scheduled, he made a pit stop at a club called Plan B, which i’m hearing is partially owned by Detroit rapper Trick Trick. Now mind you, Berg didn’t tell his label, his management or anyone that he was about to sneak off to the club.
Rapper Da Brat (real name: Shawntae Harris) has been sentenenced to 3 years in prison on charges stemming from an incident in late 2007 in which the female rapper physically assaulted a waitress, who was coincidentally an off-duty Atlanta Falcons football cheerleader, with a bottle of rum at Studio 72, Jermaine Dupri’s nightclub in Atlanta. The waitress, Shayla Stevens, sustained a deep cut to the cheek and some swelling on the forehead, and has a permanent scar on her face as a result, officials said.
Harris pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in DeKalb County, and Superior Court Judge Gail Flake sentenced the rapper to 3 years behind bars, 7 years probation, and 200 hours of community service, in addition to completion of substance abuse treatment, mental evaluation and anger management classes.
When people go to jail for long periods of of time you always have to warn them and tell them to be safe for “obvious” reasons. But I don’t think Mr. Harris has that problem. I think the person we should give a heads up to is his cellmate! Watch your back, homie!
