Jay-Z - Takeover on Sirius ALL Week!


Jay-Z will be on SIRIUS all week promoting his American Gangster album, as well as playing his favorite albums of him and other artists... That's a good look, marketing wise. :-p

Rihanna & Beyonce - Duet?!


Rumor is Rihanna is re-releasing her CD with a Beyonce duet... "So Glamorous". She will also have Umbrella Remix (Cinderella) with Chris Brown along with some other tracks... That may be hot.

Cassidy - B.A.R.S. ALBUM OUT TOMMOROW!


Yo, I'm officially endorsing Cassidy's album tomorrow... well not really, but I'm really trying to promote this album! It's hot! It's not your regular Cassidy, but it's still something to be reckoned with. He shows ALOT of growth on this album, due to his incarceration and near-fatal car accident. After a story like that, you GOT to put out a dope album...

Go cop that album tomorrow along with the American Gangster soundtrack... I mean Jay-Z's unofficial soundtrack album. :-p

Lupe Fiasco ft. Matthew Santos - SuperStar

Also, be on the lookout for Jay-Z's "Roc Boys" aka "And The Winner Is..." whose video ALSO premiers today:

This was his performance on Letterman.

Jay-Z - American Gangster In The Making

Yea... Nas couldn't have said it better.. Hip-Hop is dead... lol... Nah, not really, it's gonna be on and popping in November. After I heard people who've heard tracks off the album, talking about hot it has a "Blueprint" feel, I'm really thinking it's gonna be hot.

JD - Greatest Hits Album?!

I heard from my boy, "O" that JD is putting out a Greatest Hits album... I told him that's cool... Diddy has put out like 3 Greatest Hits albums... Then he told me it was gonna be just HIS own hits, and Not So So Def... At that point I was ready to fall out... lol.

Let's think of what his Tracklist could be...

"Atlanta"
"Balling Out Of Control"
"Money Ain't A Thing"
....
"Run Out Of Hits"
"Washed Up Producer"
"I Spent All My Kriss Kross Money"

The last 3, I'm just playing... But seriously though...

Diddy - Gangster Production

Then I found out Diddy produced like 70% of Jay's American Gangster album. Then JD did some tracks, along with Pharell evidently... Diddy fits perfect since Diddy produced BIG's "Ready to Die" album, which was an official classic. Very much so a movie, from beginning to end.

We'll see out on that later, I guess. When I'm able to actually get some new "hip-hop news" and maybe get to post on MY computer, we'll get some real posts like usual...

P.S. - Is anyone mad that Diddy has now officially admitted to having 6 kids, without a ring on that finger... I'm a need Diddy to man up, for real. Marry one of them chicks. Child support this year is a gonna put a real whole in that million dollar wallet of his...

Mobb Deep vs. Saigon?!

There's an old beef between Tru Life and Mobb Deep... If you guys know Tru Life, him and his crew jack chains from other rappers... It's crazy! So anyway, Saigon is cool with the dude, and Saigon was performing one of his tracks @ SOB's, a club in New York... So Saigon gets snuffed by one of the dudes in the Mobb Deep clique... Here are 2 version of the story on tape.

Papoose - Dropped From Jive!


For those of you have been waiting on Papoose to drop his album, Nacirema (America backwards) Dream, you're gonna have to wait a little bit longer...

Pap & Kay Slay have just announced that he was released from Jive Records. He was originally signed to Jive for 1.5 Million dollars. After about a year, no album has surfaced, as of yet. Now he's having to look for a new label. This is what Kay-Slay had to say on Hot 97 in New York:

"We have officially gotten our release from Jive f*ckin records. It was like a f*ckin year of hell... Unfortunately, we almost became victims of A&R hell.

"You cannot put a 60-something-year-old white man on a 20-something-year-old black kid's project from Brooklyn, and think it's gonna pop. And like I said this aint a bashing. It's a reality. But by the grace of everybody's... understanding, we are free. Free at last, free at last. Thank God Almighty, free at last. We are very happy, we're popping champagne. We got our release from Jive Records, and we're just moving on"

Hopefully, he can put out that album ASAP. Have a good weekend.
