Cassidy's B.A.R.S.

Cassidy has teamed with DJ Green Lantern to release the mixtape, 7/7/7, a prequel to his highly-anticipated third album, B.A.R.S. -The Barry Adrien Reese Story. It debuted today on 07/07/07... makes sense, heheh.

Besides the fact that today's date doesn't occur very often, both Cassidy and Green Lantern celebrated their birthday today. So Shout Outs to the both of them. We waitin' on that new album, Cass!

7.7.7 will also contain the Philadelphia rapper's single "My Drink n' My 2-Step," the first release from B.A.R.S., which hits stores on September 19.

B.A.R.S. features production by Swizz Beatz, Just Blaze, The Runners, Timbaland, Cool and Dre, Hi-Tek and many more. Guest appearances include John Legend, Beanie Sigel, Fabolous, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Eve and Rell.

Background Info:
The album is said to explain Cassidy's new outlook on life, since recovering from his almost fatal car accident in October of 2006, when a truck swerved into oncoming traffic and struck the side of the SUV that he was passenger in.

Cassidy was in a brief coma and suffered a fractured skull and numerous broken bones in his face. Cassidy, 25, is currently on the And1 Mixtape tour, putting the finishing touches on B.A.R.S and giving 7.7.7 to his fans.

R&N - 07/06/07

50 Cent - Amusement Park Fiasco

If you folks wanted to know the reason why 50 didn't spit the 1st verse of Amusement Park at The BET Awards last week, he gave an explanation @ 106 & Park.

The rapper showed up at "106" on Wednesday after the award show to explain what happened. "Everything doesn't quite happen the way you practice it," 50 said. "I was kinda hit by the aerialist and I was weebly wobbly coming down. 25 feet in the air man, you fall no one can help you with that. Then by the time you get down you try to regroup, you got the pyro going off, the music started, we're four bars into the song , I just didn't - I wasn't concentrating."



50 & JT - They Say "She Wants It"

50 & Justin Timberlake also worked on a new song called "She Wants It". I believe this may be the song that was rumored to be called "Porno"or "Pornography" Peep the link below for an exclusive hearing.

Uncle Luke's World


Uncle Luke is puttin' out his own reality show called "Luke's World".

"Viewers will see Campbell interact with his fiancĂ©, who reminds the mogul/activist that his life revolves around more than running his National Youth Football League and his 16-year-old daughter, who is dealing with the pressure of being "Luke’s little girl."

Throughout Luke's World, viewers will witness Campbell playing golf at the 18-hole "East" golf course at the Country Club of Miami as well as wearing various hats, from auditioning girls for his next DVD to attending parent-teacher conferences for his son to having heart-to-heart talks with his daughter.
