NEW VIDEO | Taylor Swift - "Style"

2015-02-13T11:40:00.004-06:00

Over the last couple months, I have become THE BIGGEST TAYLOR SWIFT FAN EVER! I listen to her album "1989" form beginning to end nearly every day. Today, she has blessed my eyes, soul and spirit with the premiere of her newest video for the single "Style".

The was crafted by Taylor, Max Martin and Shellback, while the video is credited to Kyle Newman. It features model Dominic Sherwood as the love interest. The visuals and imagery that were used for this video were simply amazing. See it below.

I think it's safe to say that she's a wig snatching pop star! I loved every minute of it!

Ciara Vows To Be "REAL" On New Album "Jackie"

2015-02-13T11:24:00.002-06:00

Chiiiiiiild, I've heard this one before, from the same mouth to be exact. If you have been living under a rock, or simply just have not been checking for the girl, Ciara released a new single last month called "I Bet". It's a song about her relationship roller coaster with her ex-fiance Future. The single hasn't seen much success on any charts. Currently, it sits at #141 on iTunes, it has 7.1M streams on YouTube, but couldn't catch a miracle with Billboard.

The song isn't bad, but it see's her still avoiding the crunck music that we love her for. It's a ballad of course, and she showcases her ability to be open about her personal life through music. That's exactly what she plans on doing for the entire album. It will be called "Jackie" (named after her mom) and will drop sometime later this year. She spoke to Hip-Hop Holywood to shed more info about the project. See it below.

“On this album, I think that it’s important for people to really feel me,” the 29-year-old told HipHollywood. “I titled that album after my mom because I can now see the world through her eyes.”

After the release of her first single, “I Bet,” which addresses her unfortunate split from Future, fans realized that she would be opening up a lot more on this album than she has on previous projects.

“I just feel so many different things now with life,” she continued. “As a woman, I feel a whole different confidence. I feel a need to express. I feel like us women want to express with each other. I talk to so many women and a lot of my friends about real things and I want to be able to share that through my music because I think that’s what the world wants.”

“The world needs music. The world needs, I think, realness…It’s important to me that I get to be true and express myself exactly how I want to as an artist.”

If you haven't heard the song "I Bet", listen to it below.

I'm here for Ciara, and I look forward to the project....but girl, she just needs to suck it up and drop this "I wanna be a pop star" act and get back to her dirty roots with "Goodies". That's it and that's all! I'll dive more into that theory as time progress. I think that I've enough shade in this post! BOOOOP!

Drake Drops Suprise Mixtape / Calls Out Tyga For Dating Kylie Jenner

2015-02-13T10:54:00.000-06:00

Many are saying that he "pulled a Beyonce" as Drake took the online world by storm last night and released an unannounced project titled "If You're Reading This It's Too Late". There was no prior warning to fans and there is still confusion as to if this is an album or a mixtape.

Nevertheless, it contains new music, 17 fresh tracks with features from Lil Wayne, PARTYNEXTDOOR and Travi$ Scott. He also released a short film titled "Jungle" which is now believed to have been released in support of the new project.

The Toronto rapper is also facing heat from former label mate Tyga. Drizzy bashed Tyga for dating the youngest of the Kardashian clan in the track "6am In New York". See it all below!

Listen to the mixtape here!

See the short film "Jungle" below!

Now, onto the drama between Tyga & Drake. Months back, the two had a falling out after Tyga addressed his frustraion with "Young Money" over his massively delayed album. Since, they've been taking jabs at one another and Drake has taken yet another shot.

The lyrics to "6am In New York" reads as follows..

“I heard the lil’ lil’ homie talking reckless in VIBE / That’s quite a platform you chose, you should have kept it inside,”

“Oh you tried it, so childish, calling my name on the world stage / You need to act your age and not your girl’s age,”

Tyga responded via Twitter by calling Drake a "lil bitch". But the tweet has been deleted.

I haven't gave the project a full listen as of yet, but I will. I've only listened to snippets and wasn't overly charged like some of you fools. The post that I'm reading, people are falling out like this is the best album on earth......but I'm over here like...

Lifetime Network Preps Destiny's Child Biopic for 2015

2014-10-26T18:29:00.000-05:00

We all know that the Lifetime network is in the season for biopics. They have also been coming with controversy. The first being the Aaliyah film called "Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B", which is slated for a November 15th premiere on the network.

Then there is the Whitney Houston biopic which has yet to deliver a trailer. Now, a little birdie tells me that Lifetime is in the works to pick up the rights for a Destiny's Child biopic and is slated for a 2015 release. Check out the details below.

An insider tell us via email...

I have received word that Lifetime is in works to develop a biopic for 2015. The biopic will cover the group Destiny's l. It will cover their story from 9 when they first grouped together til when the group was remade to DC3.

It will have major story-lines about Mathew and Tina's marriage, the unfair treatment to Latavia & LeToya, Beyonce's first heartbreak with her first boyfriend, and the rise to fame of the girls. The main story-line will be about the marriage of Mathew & Tina and how it had an effect on raising Beyonce in the limelight also dealing with all the troubles going on. Lifetime is interested in putting newcomer Tinashe in the role of Beyonce. Other casting choices have not been made known yet.

Now, Lifetime really needs to sit it down. This is believable simply because Lifetime is the type of network that makes relationship troubles the focal point of their shows. Like the Aaliyah biopic, the focal point will be her and R. Kelly's relationship, not Aaliyah's music.

This Destiny's Child biopic, as you can see above, won't really focus on the music aspect. I think it's unnecessary drama. Also, whatever music they will focus on will be included in the film because you know who has the rights to ALL of Destiny's Child music and I'm sure he needs the coins to pay child support! *sips tea*

A Nicki Minaj "Anaconda" Parody That You Will Never Forget

Beyonce & Jay Z Working On A Joint Album

2014-09-16T20:50:00.000-05:00

Word on the street is that music's biggest couple will be dropping a joint album some time soon. Beyonce and Jay Z just wrapped up their $100 million "On the Run" tour in Paris and now it seems like they're trying to make that true billion dollar mark with this one.

While no official announcement has been made, the news comes from a radio DJ who has claimed to confirmed with sources close to the couple that this is definitely happening. It is rumored to be set for a late 2014/early 2015. Check out the interview clip below.

When in the hell did they find time to do this? Is it even true? For the past two years, Beyonce has been on tour. Litterally. And before that, she recorded her latest album. So I have no choice to be convinced that this album will be a compilation with may one or two unheard tracks from the couple....or it will be a bunch of songs that they've recorded together throughout their ten plus years of being together.

Does Ciara Have The Vocal Chops For A Diane Warren Track?

2014-09-04T21:13:00.005-05:00

We will find out soon enough. Ciara was snapped in the studio with legendary songwriter Diane Warren creating "timeless music". She has written power ballads for the likes of Aaliyah, Beyonce, Keyshia Cole, Monica, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Toni Braxton and so many others.

All of those names I mentioned above....maybe with the exception of Keyshia Cole....all have very wide vocal ranges. Ciara on the other hand.... I don't know how she plans to pull this one off but you better believe that I will be on the look out for it to listen.

Beyonce Gets 106th & Park Shut Down & Producer Suspended

2014-08-28T10:22:00.004-05:00

The Carters are off limits. Simply put. The holy royal family is NOT to be negatively talked about or disrespected in any way, shape or form. (See Keri Hilson, Keyshia Cole & Ne-Yo for details). After those comments about Blue Ivy's hair were made on EBT's 106th & Park by Krispy Kreme, mayjor moves were made by the Beygency.

As of now, one of the shows producers, who had yet to be named, has been suspended from the show AND the production of the show has been suspended for the next few weeks. EBT has went on to say that this was a "planned" hiatus, it's done every year and the Blue Ivy comments had nothing to do with the show being off air for the next few weeks.

We are not fools. Beyonce had that shit shut down to the fullest!! See the report below.

BET has suspended a producer after a joke about Beyonce and Jay Z's daughter that aired Monday on the network's music video countdown show, "106 & Park."

A source at the network, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the person was not allowed to discuss the matter publicly, said the producer was suspended after a remark about 2-year-old Blue Ivy's hair.

On Monday's show during a segment about Blue Ivy's hypothetical thoughts during Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards, guest host Karrueche Tran said: "I really did wake up like this, because my parents never comb my hair." Blue Ivy joined her mother onstage at the VMAs.

Stephen Hill, BET's president of music programming and specials, publicly apologized on Twitter.

"Last night on 106 & Park there was a stupid, unthoughtful joke made about a young child," Hill tweeted.

Hill also said the network privately apologized to Beyonce and Jay Z.

BET didn't immediately return an email seeking comment Wednesday.

Tran, who has dated singer Chris Brown on and off, tweeted Tuesday that she did not write the joke. She wrote: "Now y'all know I LOVE me some Beyonce and Blue Ivy!"
Hill also tweeted that it was not Tran's fault.

"We also apologize to her for putting her in that position," he wrote.

Source: NY Daily News

EBT tried to toss shade for her not being present at the EBT awards show and giving MTV all of the shine. So they used Keepmesafe to do their dirty work and read the script about Blue's hair. EVeryone has apologized, BET, the president and Kaleidoscope. Though, it wasn't her fault....but no one liked her before anyway...so BOOM!

Mathew Knowles Says The Elevator Fight Was Staged To Promote The Tour

2014-08-27T20:53:00.003-05:00

Of course some shit goes down when there's a billion dollars on the elevator! We still will never know what went down on the elevator but Beyonce's father & former manger Mathew Knowles has hinted that the entire thing was staged to help promote the "On the Run" tour as well as other things.

He paid a visit to a Houston radio station earlier this morning and of course he was questioned about that incident and he offered his two cents. He also hinted that it's been done in the past before saying that one has to ignite the fire for success. Listen in below.

It starts around the 6:10 mark and carries over into the next video.

Do I think it was staged? No I do not. For once, Beyonce and Solange aren't that great when it comes to acting...and looking at that footage, Solange was not acting. There was fire and fierceness behind those punches and kicks that Solo was throwing to Jay. It looked far from staged.

Maybe it was just perfect timing on their behalf, and maybe, just maybe it did help increase those ticket sales. But I feel that even without elevator gate, the tour would have sold as much as it already has. I can't wait for Beyonce to do an intervew. She hasn't done anything for this album expect drop videos, a Grammy performance, the OTR tour and the VMA's. There hasn't been any radio interviews, TV interviews or anything....then again....she's Beyonce.

BET President Issues Apology For Rude Blue Ivy Joke

2014-08-26T23:10:00.004-05:00

This is what happens when you make stupid and unnecessary jokes about the child of Beyonce and Jay Z. Yesterday on the EBT show 106th & Park, guest host Keyocera cracked a joke about Blue Ivy's hair not being combed during the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards.

She has since been dragged to the pits of hell and back by Beyonce fans forcing the President of BET to issue a public and private apology to the Carters with the indication that whoever wrote the joke got into some deep trouble. They also stressed that Kimchees was not to blame and for us to not hate on her....but it's too late for that. See the apology via Twitter below.

The joke shouldn't have been written, nor should Kabala have said the joke. She knew it was wrong, the writers knew it was wrong and BET knew it was wrong. So why do it in the first place? Shady....Serves them right!

AALIYAH | Still One In A Million

2014-08-25T22:17:00.000-05:00

After 13 years, Aalyiah continues to inspire pop culture and make headlines in our news. She's featured on songs, new singers emerge while citing her as an inspiration and homage is payed by today's biggest stars.

The singer's life was cut short on August 25, 2001 in an unfortunate plane crash, killing her and eight others. Her legacy lives through her music and will now live on through not one but two bio-pics the will reintroduce her to the world on so many levels.

One from Lifetime and another full length film is coming next year. Her shoes have yet to be filled. Aaliyah will always be one in a million. Her fans have took to Twitter to pay their tributes and respects making #RIPAaliyah a trending topic for the day. We love you and we miss you baby girl!

K. Michelle & Lil Kim Get Into Twitter Fight About Nicki Minaj Being The Queen of Rap

2014-08-25T19:44:00.008-05:00

At one point, these two ladies were good friends, up until last night when all hell broke loose on Twitter. It was all thanks to the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards. After Nicki Minaj took the stage to perform her songs "Anaconda" & "Bang Bang" with Ariana Grande and Jessie J, K Michelle tweeted something and Lil Kim did not approve.

The tweet that started it all...

Lil Kim's fan were not having it! the felt that K. Michelle was being shady so they started attacking her on Twitter. She was forced to defend herself.

Obviously, Lil Kim felt some type of way about the tweets and she's loyal to her fans and will not let anyone talk to her fans badly.

k. Michelle responded...

Sensing the shade...Lil Kim clapped back with the last word!

Is Lil Kim that big of a hater or does she have the right to own the "Queen of Rap" title?

Karrueche Comes For Blue Ivy's Hair

2014-08-25T19:29:00.005-05:00

Word on the street is that Klondike is in the running to be one of the newest EBT 106th & Park hosts. She will be filling the shoes of temporary host Keshia Chante. Well, the sideline hoe was doing her thing on 106th & Park today and of course the topic at hand was the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards.

During a segment called "The Top 6 Things Blue Ivy Thought of Her Mom's Performance", KittKatt had this to say....

The NERVE! Bitches will say anything for a check! After she was attacked by the beyhive she took to Twitter to blame the entire thing on EBT saying that they wrote the script and she had to say it.

You can be team BeyHive all you want by she not #teamKitKat #teamwhore #teamdummie or none of that. I'm sure EBT did write it for her to say. For the simple fact that they felt so damn DUMB after Beyonce passed them a used, stale, late, tired and delayed ass uploaded performance to air on their award show whereas MTV got her for a whole 15 minutes, live in the flesh. So they felt some type of way about that.

Then they would get an air head to pull this off. They know Special K bar is thirsty for some limelite and television airtime, so they got her dumb ass to say that line. Now, her career is over. Damn dummie! Blue's hair looked fine if you ask me!

Nicki's performance was a bit sloppy. I think it's because of her looking so damn flawless in her actual "Anaconda" video. I'm starting to think that it was digitally edited to make her look good. Because tonight at the VMA's, her body did not look as good as it did in the video. I'm just saying. Jessie J....not a fan and I have no comment other than the fact that Nicki couldn't get her wardrobe fully on. She had to hold that bad boy tightly closed!

FRESH MUSIC | Chris Brown - "X"

2014-08-23T18:00:00.005-05:00

We are a few weeks away from the release of Chris Brown's long awaited album "X". It's do far spawned a slew of hits including "Fine China", "Don't Think They Know", "Love More", "Loyal", "New Flame" and now this newly released sixth self titled singled "X".

Within in. he sings about the end of a relationship. Once can only think that it could be about Rihanna or Kurrache or however her damn name is spelled. The songs starts out as a slow paced balled but morphs into a euro-pop track and something else before it's over and done with. The album drops September 17th. Give it a go below.

Songs like this kind of bother me. There are three different productions within it. For me, it feels all over the place. Like he meshed three different songs together. I really prefer the production in the beginning. It sounds he best. The euro-pop movement is over and done with. Him and Jennifer Lopez know that they can beat a dead horse until it dies again..... Your thoughts?

FRESH MUSIC: Tinashe - "Pretend" (feat. A$AP Rocky)

2014-08-23T17:45:00.001-05:00

Alright, here is the moment you all have been waiting for. The moment that we find out Tinashe can actually sing and not become a one hit wonder. For those on you who don't know, she is the girl behind the massive hit "2 On" which features ScHoolBoy Q. That track was produced by DJ Mustard and has become an urban pop hit.

She just released her follow-up single called "Pretend" and it features A$AP Rocky. It's a much slower song, and she's actually singing...or so she thinks. The track was produced by Detail and will be featured on her upcoming album "Aquarius" which is due out October 7th. Give it a go below.

She sounds exactly like I thought she would....a hot mess! "2 On" is one of those 'hot for the moment" songs. The production carried that song to the heights that it's seen so far. Not Tinashe. I've watched her performances, I've seen the video and they're all basic. Just like this song. No shade to her, maybe she could rework how she performs and get some stronger vocals...or partner with DJ Mustard for another hit. What do you think?

Beyonce To Perform Entire Visual Album During 15 Minute VMA Performance

2014-08-23T17:32:00.000-05:00

Beyonce will have the world wagging their tongues again tomorrow night. Not only will she be taking home -the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, (making her the first African-American female to receive the honor) (DON'T COME FOR ME), but she will take the stage at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards for a rumored full fledged 15 minute performance of her entire visual album "BEYONCE"!

The news comes exclusively form Love B Scott. According to MTV Exec Amy Doyle, no one has ever done this before. It will be a first time show stopper. It could even be another game changer. See what she had to say below.

“Beyoncé’s performance is very ambitious,” she said. I don’t think anyone’s tried this before. We’re expecting this to go down in VMAs history.”

Can you say EXCITED!!!?? Queen B is doing it once again! I will definitely be tuning in!

Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon Are Done

2014-08-23T17:17:00.003-05:00

Word on the street is that Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon are on the verge of a divorce. Nick broke the news while speaking to The Insider. He indicated that the two have been living separably for a few months now. It's believed that the entire thing stemmed from Nick's hectic work schedule and not being there for M.C. Others think it came about after Nick appeared on a radio show and revealed that he banged Kanye's wife Kim Kardashain.

That reportedly humiliated Mariah and she apparently had no clue that it happened. Other rumors are that Nick is woman hungry and it's hard to keep him away from the ladies. Mariah reportedly hired security guards to watch him a parties and things of that nature.He also revealed that Mariah didn't immediately give up the goods, she made him wait.

Nick Cannon confirmed that his six-year marriage to Mariah Carey is on the rocks.
The 33-year-old "America's Got Talent" host broke his silence Thursday about his rumored impending divorce from Carey, 44.

"We have been living in separate houses for a few months," Cannon told The Insider. "(Right now) my main focus is my kids,"
TMZ reported earlier that the high-powered couple has already gotten lawyers involved to negotiate property and custody agreements over their 3-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe.
"Divorce is a done deal," the gossip site reported.

Their relationship allegedly suffered a big hit when Cannon appeared on Big Boy's radio show in March and named Kim Kardashian as one of the celebrities he has bedded.
"That made Mariah insane and humiliated," sources told TMZ. "She tore into Nick for weeks."

Kardashian wasn't the only source of friction between the spouses: Carey has reportedly felt "abandoned" by Cannon because of his work schedule.
The "Always Be My Baby" songstress allegedly thought he was spending too much time away from her and their children.

"They have been living apart for a while. This is not all of a sudden. There have been issues between them for a while. They are not getting along," another source close to Carey told E! News.

"She wants to end it and it has been in the works for months, which is why her house in the Bahamas and the house in Bel Air are on the market."

Source: NY Daily News
What ever the case is, it's sad to see them split. I personally was never here for their marriage becuase I felt that Mariah was too mature for Nick. I always felt that since she pranced around claiming that she was a diva, she should have been with someone with that same thought process. Nick to me was still a kid. It was like she was the mother and he was the obedient son.

But over the years, those thoughts have changed. He's a business man and has a lot going on for himself. Listening to their interviews about one another, it's clear that he runs things and he's the man for her. The good thing is that it's not looking messy. Everything is calm and cool for now. Lets hope it stays that way.
