Ahh, so this is the song with Pharrell and Twista… We posted some photos of them on the set of the video for it a few days ago. Anyhow, I’m no music reviewer (Lol), but I know what I like and what I don’t like. And I can’t say that I’m really feeling this joint. It’s VERY repetitive … and I hate songs that are overly repetitive. The beat’s fresh though. Maybe the video with that sexy model Lola will change my mind 😉 Or maybe it’ll just grow on me…

My homeboi T.I. is featured on the cover of the latest issue of XXL magazine (July 2007). The 3-page article is titled “I’m Real, What Are You?” and features a picture of T.I. squarin’ off with TIP. It’s a pretty good read, you should check it out!
 
Just a heads up that BET’s Access Granted and Yahoo.com will both premiere Eve’s new video for “Tambourine” tomorrow (05.24) at 8pm EST (5pm PST)! Make sure you check it out! Judging from these photos, it looks like it’s gonna be a hot video!
 
 
 
…17-year old Jordin Sparks from Glendale, Arizona! Congratz! I didn’t really watch this season (this shit gets more boring every year) but I did catch a few episodes and homegirl can sang! Not to mention she’s pretty easy on the eyes ;-) One person that almost stole her thunder though, was Ms. Paula “I be on that KRYPTONITE” Abdul! Did y’all catch how drunk she was tonight?? From beginning to end, you could tell she was a little bit no, a LOTTA BIT tipsy! Someone has got to Youtube her “performance” at the end of the show when Jordin won. I mean, she (Paula) was really crying!
Again, please bear with me this next week. We’ve been a little slack on the updates, but I only have one more week of school, then I’m out for the summer … Thanks so much for understanding and continuing to visit! Here are some of the things we missed out on…
Above is the OFFICIAL cover (Nah Right) to 50 Cent’s third studio LP, Curtis, due out June 26th. So please stop it people with the 50 Cent Stealing Benzino’s Album Cover mambo jumbo. But anyway, I like it – it’s hot! AND DON’T EVEN SAY WHAT I THINK YA’LL ARE GONNA SAY!! Lol, leave Fiddy alone. In other news 50 Cent recently spoke with MTV News about “beef” with Cam’Ron, here’s what he had to say…
For a person to think that calling you the name your mom gave you at birth is disrespectful is beyond belief. He’s punished himself more than I can punish him. He’s made a fool of himself. There’s nobody asking me about Cam’ron. … I think people lost interest in it, based on the situation. He’s not even relevant. You’re talking about a guy who sold 270,000 [copies] his last record. I sold 9.8 million my last record. I’m not going to exhaust my audience by talking about somebody they have no interest in.
Daaaamn! LMFAO!!!

Aye, thanks to Koriee for the heads up on this chick. Tynisha Keli is the frickin’ truth, just by hearing “Let It Go” I knew automatically I was diggin’ her. She is currently working on her debut album, Even If It Takes Forever, due out sometime later this year. It was confirmed that Tynisha’s official first single will be “I Wish You Loved Me” (Myspace). The single will debut on radio stations in the U.S. on May 24, 2007 (tomorrow!). Tynisha will also be shooting a music video for this song! Below are some old songs from Tynisha that blew her up on the Myspace game, similar to Cassie’s story. Fun Fact: difference is one of these young ladies can actually sing (I’ll let you figure out the one I’m referring to.) She recently took all of these vocally amazing songs OFF her myspace ugh! Lol… I heard because that was the past and now her label is now starting to push her a little more now because again of her myspace success, but let’s hope she gets marketed properly- Warner Brothers is whack- their last artist was Paris Hilton. No comment. Switch labels girl! Your voice is too extraordinary to waste like that.

….Yup! New Black Eyed Peas track entitled, “More”! The song is from the new Pepsi Campaign project, I love the song it’s a nice melodic track with a little street edge, but I don’t think it’s necessarily “single worthy” in my opinion- but I hear this is strictly for the Pepsi Campaign and will probably not be included in the rumored titled album, From Roots To Fruits, so I sigh a pleasant relief. In the meantime you all can check out Pepsi More for more information and to watch trailers, download wallpaper and a whole lot of other stuff…

I know we are a little late with this post, I can’t believe I forgot, but recently this month Janet Jackson turned 41 and I would like to acknowledge the fact so, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ON BEHALF OF THINK2WICE JANET! And many more to come, I know she had a good birthday with her man as well as family and friends celebrating with her, she looks absolutely gorgeous for 41 don’t cha think? Kudos to Janet for keeping up that lovely figure of hers and a solid 20 year career going strong not to mention! In other news, I’m pretty sure you guys probably already heard the news about Janet Jackson Switching to Def Jam and it appears she will be releasing some new material pretty soon so be on the lookout for that, we will keep you posted also.
Here’s another one of those pointless “hip-hop beefs” this time featuring jailbird Beanie Sigel, and he’s attacking Kanye West & Pharrell Williams and their preppy styles. Sad thing is … both of these cats (Kanye & Pharrell I mean) are more successful than he’ll ever be. Do I smell “hate” in the air? *sniffs deeply* Anyhow, I wouldn’t harp on this too much. All dude could think of is “dats not coo … in da hood? dats not coo to be.” Ya just took a step back in my book Beans! For more, log on to www.QD3.com.

Just Like You is the highly anticipated sophomore album to be released by R&B singer Keyshia Cole. Reports were speculating that the album would drop on September 18th. Now I’m not sure if this is an official first single, but it features Lil’ Kim and Missy Elliott, from the album or if it will even make the album but I just decided to post it any way because I listened, and I’m really feelin’ it, and not to mention– I see my girl Lil’ Kim is back! Wow, listening to her again takes me back to the “Hardcore” days and such. I also wanted to test out my “Mirror” links, which will make it a whooole lot easier uploading to the masses. Anyway the track is very “grown and sexy,” a Missy Misdemeanor Elliott production no doubt, I think this is a little taste to what we can expect from the singer’s album.

British pop star Amy Winehouse recently escaped to Miami to quickly tie the knot with fiance Blake Fielder-Civil. The singer slipped out of the Shore Club hotel in South Beach early Friday and got married at the Marriage License Bureau on Flagler Street in downtown Miami. The 30-minute ceremony, which cost the couple only $120 USD, was officiated by Deputy Clerk Samuel Calixte. No family members were present. Winehouse and Fielder-Civil, wearing shorts and soaked by a tropical downpour, later arrived at the Big Pink diner on Collins Avenue for lunch with four friends. A post-wedding party poolside at their hotel had to be cut short when the sky opened up again. It is the first marriage for Winehouse, 23, and Fielder-Civil, 24, who have been engaged since April. But here’s the thing … there was no prenumptial agreement! This stunt has surprised her friends and family, and her new husband is apparantly bragging about it. British tabloids are reporting that the new husband of Amy Winehouse has been vocal about the lack of a legal agreement that would stop him from getting part of the Winehouse fortune if the marriage should fall through.
Not a good look, Amy! Next thing you know, you’ll be having two kids 1 year apart… Then you’re gonna divorce your husband and he’s gonna get half of everything you own leaving you to go crazy. Then you’re gonna shave your head bald, go back into rehab, attack a paparazzo’s car (GI-Jane style), and come back on to the scene going back and forth to small clubs lipsynching to your hits. Sound familiar?? Anyhow, you can check out a few candids of the odd couple from May 16 leaving a Walgreens in Miami. How romantic…

Jessica Simpson has shocked fans by confirming her romance with rocker John Mayer is over. After Simpson attended the Cannes Film Festival solo earlier this week, rumours were rife that the couple’s nine-month romance had cooled. And now US news show Extra is reporting the split is official. Simpson, 26, and Mayer, 29, spent months refusing to talk about romance rumours but confirmed they were an item during a romantic March break in Rome, Italy, where they kissed and held hands. The couple was last seen together at the Costume Institute Gala in New York on 7 May. The split news comes just days after Simpson’s manager father Joe announced he approved of his daughter’s new beau, stating: “I love him; he’s got great music… and he’s a legend already.”
Can’t say that I’m too surprised. I called it months ago … the rebound relationship never works out!
Wheeew, I am so late with this but, it’s here! And there is just so much to discuss. Let me just start with- THIS ALBUM IS DOPE BUSINESS! But I simply can not post all of the songs so go out June 5th and BUY, BUY, BUY, BUY! Surprisingly good, more than I actually expected, there’s a lot of great up tempo songs including amazing production by Timbaland and Justin Timberlake along with Stargate and others. Of course the album features label mate Ne-Yo, “Hate That I Love You” a stringy guitar version of Ne-Yo’s “So Sick” in my opinion, and was executive produced by Jay-Z. You probably already remember “Shut Up And Drive,” a pop-rock kind of track that’s slated to be Rihanna’s second single lifted from the amancipated album, Good Girl Gone Bad. Overall it’s one of those records you hate at first but you can’t stop listening to it after the 500th time. Lawd knows when I heard “Breakin’ Dishes” and “Sell Me Candy”? Yeah, that drove me up a damn wall, sounded like a constipated cat, but urrrgh yet I keep playing it. I’d say the album deals mostly with love, which isn’t a bad thing, all the elements of love. And don’t think Rihanna has strayed from her Barbadian background either! I’m definitly diggin’ this new “Good Girl/ Bad Girl” image Rihanna has going on, beautiful melodies with assertive lyrics at the same time. A couple dance groves wouldn’t hurt either too! LOL, there’s this one song, “Breakin’ Dishes” that’s hilarious, “Still waiting, ‘come throught the door’! I’m killin’ time, ya know? bleachin’ ya clothes, I’m roastin’ marshmellows on the fiyah and what I’m burnin’? It’s ya attire!” LMAO! Almost kin to Brooke Valentines’ “I Want You Dead” which I looove! By the way, is she sayin’ she gonna BITE a man or FIGHT a man? Lol, I’ve included that particular song in the posting as well 🙂

Brand new track from my wife, LOL, Lauryn Hill from the upcoming animated film, Surfs Up! (see trailer after the cut!) I love it, man something about her voice- I don’t know… I cry, hell yeah I said it! Ever since that dag Unplugged album; just beautiful lyrics and meaning. It’s so crazy and so rare, she is so under rated for some reason but I’m just gald she is back and letting everyone know, ya know? “I’m alive, I’m blessed, and doin’ my thang.” Welcome, Miss Hill. Thank you so much HOP!
Inspired by Live Earth, Madonna has written a new song titled “Hey You,” which is available exclusively on MSN, free of charge, for seven days. “Hey You” was produced by Pharrell Williams and Madonna and recorded in London. Madonna will perform “Hey You” as one of the headliners for Live Earth U.K., joining the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Genesis, the Beastie Boys and other performers at Wembley Stadium in London on July 7, as part of the 24-hour, seven-continent Live Earth concert series. As the exclusive online destination for Live Earth, MSN is pleased to offer this song in conjunction with Madonna and is proud to donate 25 cents for each of the first 1 million downloads to the Alliance for Climate Protection, in support of Live Earth. This song is so beautiful is all I can utter… Just beautiful, uplifting and inspiring! First love yourself than you can love someone else, if you can change someone else than you can have saved someone else but you must first love yourself…
People, if ya don’t know Janelle Monáe by now– what are you waiting for? Get to know her! Not only from the recent interview I did with this lovely young lady but by taking yourself on a futuristic musically journey filled with classic melodies, rockin’ sound, and funky tunes to the ear; new single “Violet Stars/ Happy Hunting” from Miss Monáe’s debut, Metropolis Suite I of IV: “The Case,” coming June 1st to be exact! Okay I knew this sounded familiar. I remember first hearing this, I absolutely needed the high quality, I was jammin’ to “Voilet Stars Happy Hunting”! Which you can hear on Janelle Monáe’s Myspace in its entiety. I see this is as an unique sound and flare fused from the likes of James Brown, Elvis, Judy Garland and a whole other mix of people inspired by her, same with performance.
