Interesting day today....

Fugees - Lauryn Killing Reunion?


It's rumored that Lauryn seems to be killing the whole reunion. She's wanting to produce tracks for the group now. That's not flying with 'Clef, though. The production has been mostly Wyclef doin' the beats, but now Lauryn is trying to break the format.

Wyclef tells interviewer:

"We did a remix [with] Lauryn for John Legend, for the record “How High.” John Legend was saying our names. You know what she had [him] do? She was like, “Take off Wyclef and Jerry’s names.” Because she wanted people to think that she was the one doing the beat…I’m a producer and I’m a beatmaker with my cousin Jerry Wonder, and I’m a writer. She’s a writer, a vocalist, [and] a great [vocal] composer. And she’s great at picking out samples—she got 20 billion samples but can’t chop ’em up to save her life."

Foxy Brown - Looking For New Label

Usher - Wedding on Hold


This Usher marriage situation gets more complex as time goes by. First, my boy, Future was talkin' about Tameka on some kinda "operation" tip, then her alledged past with a drug dealer. Now it seems it's the baby she's carrying that is holding up the wedding... I'd post it, but I don't want to post another article, if it wasn't confirmed as true. This one makes more sense and less scandalous, though. Alot of pressure with the pregnancy, etc.

Conspiracy Story: They never planned on getting married... The marriage idea is just for hype... who knows?

Dr. Dre - Detox in '08?


Another tidbit I found out today, that's gettin' me riled... Dr. Dre has been promising Detox since what, 2003? 4 years later, still no album and now it's being pushed back to next suumer. Hundreds of songs he's done for this album, and one isn't done yet... So much depth in this topic, i can't even get into tonight...

Eminem - New Album? And Baby?


Speaking of Dre, Eminem may be putting out a new album... Supposedly, Akon and T.I. are gonna be on the album. Also, rumors goin around that him and Kim may be having another kid... Only time will tell. (9 months to be exact) :-p

Mase - Revival



Speakin' of new albums, M-A-$-E may finally come out with a new album! With all these "promising" new albums, you would hope one of these should surface... Well see...

Usher - Tameka's Skeletons


Alright. A lil' more light into Usher's former fiance's past... I'll let the Enquirer give you da scoop:

"Usher’s new bride, Tameka Foster, has a shocking criminal past that she has kept secret from the R&B singer, The Enquirer learned.

Tameka is an ex-con whose first lover was gunned down in a drug-related execution-style shooting.

“Poor Usher has no idea who he’s marrying,” Temeka’s half sister Valencia Foster told The Enquirer. “He’s a wonderful guy- but Tameka is giving him a big-time snow job.”

The scene for deception was set at a “getting to know the in-laws” dinner in Tameka’s hometown of Oakland, Calif., on July 7 as the couple finalized plans for a July 28 wedding.

Valencia, 49, explained that Usher led a prayer before dinner, then turned to her and said: “’You know all the family secrets- tell me about them.’ Before I could say a word, Tameka kicked me so hard under the table she almost put a hole in my leg,” Valencia said.

“Then she pulled me aside and whispered: ‘Don’t tell him anything.’”

Tameka, fleeing from a troubled home life, moved in with Valencia when she was 11. “She arrived with $14 in food stamps in her purse,” recalled Valencia. “She turned out to be a nightmare.”

By 14, she had become involved with a married drug dealer five years older than her, Valencia says.

“I banned him from the house – but four years later she was pregnant with his baby when his car was ambushed and he was riddled with bullets. Tameka missed being with him in the car by minutes.”

Court Records show that Tameka has been arrested twice. In 1991, she served 20 days in the Los Angeles County Jail for petty theft and was placed on probation for two years. Records indicate she had previously served jail time. An earlier arrest in Alameda County, Calif., involved “some kind of welfare fraud, and she was sentenced to perform community service,” said Valencia.

Tameka, Usher’s former wardrobe stylist, has three children and is expecting the singer’s baby in the fall. Usher, 28, recently shocked fans by reportedly firing his manager mother and replacing her with Tameka.

The 36-year-old bride asked her father, John Foster, to give her away at the wedding in the Hampton’s, the tony New York enclave. But Tameka threatened to ban her mom from the ceremony- because she had lost her false teeth! “Tameka told her: ‘You’re not coming to my wedding without teeth,’” Valencia said. “I asked her why she didn’t buy her mother a new set, and she told me: ‘Let her get her own (bleeping) teeth- she didn’t take care of me when I was young.’”

Valencia says Tameka’s mom bought the new teeth herself- and she believes one day Usher will discover the truth about his new bride."
