NE-YO ON APOLLO BACK IN THE DAY!!!

I don’t know what it is about today but there is a lot of good news going on. AHM posted this and I just about feel out of my chair when Ne-Yo (or go go as he was called back then) came out  with Bronze hair LMAO.

 

You know what’s funny too? People who get booed on Apollo (Ne-Yo, Mariah Carey, even Lauryn Hill) always go on to make it big. Hmm…maybe I should go on and rap…LMAO that’ll be the day huh.

Check out the video and get your laugh on at work lol.

BRITNEY SPEARS NEW ALBUM OUT BY CHRISTMAS!!!

I just read over at Billboard.com that Britney Spears has been recording some new tracks that may be out by the holidays.

Alright so I’m just gonna get into it…I’m not sure what this album has to offer but if she wants to make a true real life comeback she’d better put out one of those sad I’m not a girl not yet a woman joints. I mean think about it, records that invite the public into your life, make them feel sorry for you, and then kick someone to the curb (i.e. Kevin whatshisface) always work. Give me more was a nice song but it wasn’t strong enough for her…especially followed by that horrible performance on MTV (which I’m still mad at the network for).

All I have to say is the marketing better be good on this one because she’s going to need it. She can make a comeback…but it has to be marketed very carefully. Otherwise it could be another disaster year for the pop princess.

p.s. I just had to put up the old picture. I was in the ninth grade when this album came out. Anyone remember this version Britney?

T.I. TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM AUGUST 12!!!

“Paper Trail” the new album from rapper T.I. will be released on August 12. This is the first effort since the rapper was arrested for gun possession this past fall. The title of the album is due to the rapper actually writing his rhymes for the first time in years.

Alright soooo…..not really excited to hear about this one. King was a good album…T.I. vs T.I.P. was not. See I like the T.I. side but the T.I.P. side was unbelievably foul. I hope this album addresses the stupid dingbat move to have all those guns in his house, and the even dumber move to actually be there when the  deal went down.

Anyway I’m not sure how the album is going to be…but I’ll let you know.

MADONNA REACHES NUMBER 1…AGAIN!!!

Congrats to the homegirl Madonna for her seventh number one Album “Hard Candy”. The sultry songstress will be going on tour sometime soon with most of the performances being overseas.

Madonna is a true boss. She’s been in the game since 85 and hasn’t lost a step (except for the time she tried to rap…not cool). Anyway the album is nice. Kanye, The Neptunes, and Timbo all have production credits which gives it a hip hop flavor mixed with Madonna’s true pop presence. I gave it 3 stars .

Anyway, look out for the tour. She will be doing some arena gigs here in the states.

P.S. I had to put the old picture up. Don’t you just love the Madonna from 92 lol.

MASTER P NAMED NAACP YOUTH ADVISOR!!!

Master P was recently named youth ambassador to the NAACP, a position formerly held by President Bill Clinton. The New Orleans rapper/producer/entrepreneur/Charlotte Hornets bench warmer also founded Take A Stand records, a record label that only releases positive music.

This is so cool (even though I may be late). I read it in the new Ebony Black Music Issue. I’m proud of Master P for his positive efforts. He’s come a long way from my eighth grade No Limit days (yes I was a fan) when “Make em say Ughhhhh” was on V100 every 3-5 minutes. I remember he signed like his whole damn family (play cousins and all) to the label and they eventually…well you know what happened lol.

Anyway keep on doing what you’re doing Mr. Miller. It’s great not only for your family but for the black community as well.
