Controversial Rapper Nas did indeed create a album titled, Nigger (Def Jam). I didn’t actually believe it at the time but it’s now confirmed. What is said to be track number 1 on the album, “Be A Nigger Too”, was leaked onto the internet today. Not sure if this will be the actual first single or not because although he’s trying to make a positive statement this “N-Word” is still offensive to many. “Nigger” is said to be in stores July 1st. It’s said to already have gotten support from Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, LL Cool J, Akon, Common, Lupe Fiasco, and Rev Run.

Actress/singer Raven Symone is featured on the cover of the latest issue of JET Magazine. I’ve always wondered to myself why Raven won’t step outside of the Disney persona and become a more mature artist, to fit her age a little more. But after reading the quote below, I can see why! Unlike the rest of these child stars, who grow up to be Lindsay Lohans and Britney Spears’s, she actually has a pretty solid head on her shoulders:
â€I have to stay true to who I am’, says Disney star Raven-Symoné, 22, regarding her new self-titled CD, which is slated for release April 29. ‘I am not going to sing about sex, drugs and violence, that’s just not who I am’, she continues. As she prepares for the CD’s release and a 55-city Pajama Party concert tour, the confident and talented entertainer hopes this project will fill a void in today’s music. We need some music that will open people’s minds up and give them other things to think about other than the same things we have been giving them for a while. Maybe my album can do that.’
While the 5-foot-2-inch singer-actress stays true to her music, she’s also staying true to her image by being comfortable with her size. ‘When I look in the mirror and see how voluptuously fabulous I am, I can’t even worry about it. I am just fabulous.’â€
50 CENT REPSONDS TO ALICIA KEYS‘ COMMENTS ABOUT “GANGSTA RAP” »
“I don’t like Alicia Keys no more…the same reason why I said that I don’t like Oprah Winfrey. I’m prejudiced. I don’t like people who don’t like me. If you don’t like the content that I write because of my experiences; I am being who I am when writing it. I fall into that ‘label’ as far as you considering artists creating gangsta music.
I don’t think that [her] classical shit is cool. I don’t give a fuck if you can classically play the piano. I haven’t been classically trained, because my upbringing, nobody put me in front of a piano at that time…I could fucking care less about the shit. So she don’t like the music that embodies the harsh realities because they’re not her realities. She hasn’t been subjected to the same things.”
Guess what actress was stranded at at the LAX airport over the weekend? Hint: She’s everybody’s favorite auntie! Second hint: We’re talking about the person behind the big ass “GUESS WHO?!” – We don’t even know who the chick is beside her, lol!
Mariah Carey is on the cover of the UK’s, The Observer Music Monthly. Mariah did an inteview the UK magazine talking about the difficulties of being a celebrity:
“Here’s the thing … as a human being this is a very abnormal state to be in,” Mariah admits “To meet people who have already formed an opinion of who you are prior to meeting you based on the sweeping generalizations that they have read, well, not that it doesn’t happens in other jobs but clearly it happens more in this job..which happens to be a job even though people don’t think of it as a job, but it is…
