Lupe Fiasco is highly upset about the leaking of The Neptunes produced track 'I'm Beaming' from his upcoming album "Lasers." Lupe wrote bout the ordeal in his blog and pleads to people "NOT to share, stream, or download any unauthorized or stolen Lupe Fiasco music." Here is more from Lupe's blog:
Plain and simple its STOLEN property. And this goes for ANY record or track that leaks or is made available for illegal download from this day forward. Actions are being taken and the authorities have been notified. A lot of time and energy goes into the creation of this music, not to mention large sums of money, money provided by my record company as well as from my own personal finances. My music is the product of my life. It means so much to me. I take pride in it and i also take pride in how it changes peoples lives and gives them hope. So to see it treated in this manner really numbs the soul. So many of my family and friends rely on me for their well-being and I rely on my music to give me the opportunities that allow me to provide for them. So this one i'm taking personal. And I will do ALL that is in my power and my circle of influence to make sure that the persons directly or even remotely responsible for this and any future events involving the piracy and illegal distribution and solicitation of my music will be brought to justice and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Both criminally as well as civilly. -SOURCE
Personally on my blog I no longer make songs available for download for this reason. There are handfuls of sites that allow fans to download artist music illegally and they don't get penalized for. I do and I don't even allow people to download the music. I respect Lupe and I won't post the track due to the fact he feels cheated that he couldn't release his music to his fans the proper way. Lupe the track is dope though.
Here is the B. Scott produced official first single 'One In A Lifetime' extracted from Monica's upcoming album "Still Standing." I love, love, love this track. I'm ready for her new album.
Beyonce are you trying to tell us something? Earlier today I posted a leaked track from Bee entitled "Black Culture" now another track has leaked. Here is the Stargate produced track 'Waiting.' I'm thinking this was a leftover track from "I Am," either way it's a nice song. Beyonce must be releasing a new cd because I have a feeling we will be hearing more leaked music. Only time will tell when Beyonce mania will be starting again. Listen to the track and vote whether you would play it or misplace it.
Here is the acoustic remix version of the song 'Waiting' below:
Here is a track that leaked onto the net not to long ago from Beyonce entitled 'Black Culture.' The track samples Michael Jackson's hit song 'Don't Stop Till You Get Enough.' This is definitely feel good record and it seems as if she had fun recording it because you can hear her laughing in the background. I am a fan of Bee's music but my question is do you feel that she represents "Black Culture?" Listen to the track and vote whether you would play it or misplace it.
Amber Rose and Kanye West (a.k.a "Kamber") were spotted on movie date night in Hollywood the other day. They went to see the box office smash "Avatar." There is a rumor going around that Kanye will be proposing to Amber during a Caribbean get away sometime in 2010. If that is true congrats to couple.

Gucci Mane decided to team up with my favorite music producer Pharell on a track titlesd 'Have It All.' I am not really a Gucci fan but this track is fire. The lyrical content is alot different then most other tracks that I have heard from him. I say play it. Gucci's new album "The State vs. Radric Davis" is in strores now. Listen to the track and vote whether you would play it or misplace it below.
Usher decided to do a track with Nicki Minaj. 'Little Freak' was produced by Polow Da Don. All I have to say is if you that threesome crap this will be right up your alley. Women we need to do better. Young women are misguided because they are listening to crap like this and we wonder why the number of people in general are contacting STD's at alarming rates. I'll pass on this one. Listen to the track and vote whether you would play it or misplace it below.
