"Its what yall all been waiting for aint it"

Yea yall know I had to find out what the official Kanye West album cover looked like. The infamous BEAR (you know who im talking about) has appeared on the two other album covers so he has gained love from me and im sure he has a fan base too lol. Kanye was very descriptive with the cover as you can see. In the back is a graduating class throwing up there caps glad they FREE! I was happy I graduated shoot I barely made it. Also Kanye's mascot is being shot off to the next level in life with his cute little university jacket on. Kanye is definetly a trend setter unlike most artist who album covers just consist of a picture of themselves. He gave his buyers a visual picture of his album title he is definetly the man right now and in the words of Mr.west "Yall cant tell him nothing"

Ur on Candid Camera!

Can someone tell me why is it OK for stars to dress this way!!! 1st my dude from pretty Ricky is smiling like ish is all good and his hair aint messed up. If my friends ever let me roll out the house, let alone go on television with my hair like that they ass getting cut off. Now Mr. Jones you ought to be shamed of yourself you have jewels on your neck and arm iced out and you couldn't get your hair done ... I'm sooo disappointed. I'm so serious when it comes to my appearance and people get a little money and all of a sudden you let yourself go they ass backwards .... Its hard to tell that Jimmy, Capo status, one eye willy is BALLLLLIN'

The Gorilla Is Tight: 50 Cent's Song & Video Leaked

Last night, a digital copy of a new 50 Cent song called “Follow My Lead,” which features Robin Thicke, leaked onto the Internet weeks before 50's new album, "Curtis" is scheduled to hit store shelves. As if that wasn't already a problem, a final cut version of the song's video also hit the Internet and was soon available on You Tube and Dailymotion. According to Miss Info from Hot 97, 50 was tight when he found out about the leak. Sources say 50 went crazy in his Manhattan office, ripping a plasma television off the wall, throwing his cell phone through a window and declaring that he was going on vacation. Apparently, 50 pulled a Beyonce because viewers will not be able to see the video due to some copyright bullsh!t. God really doesn't like ugly!

Shut Up Already!: 50 Cent Betting His Career

According to NY Daily News, 50 Cent is betting his entire rap career that he'll sell more records than Kanye West on Sept. 11--the day both of their albums drop.

"Let's raise the stakes," said 50 Cent. "If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I'll no longer [perform] music. I'll write music and work with my other artists, but I won't put out any more solo albums." They would like to see Kanye West give me a problem," 50 said, "because I've worked myself into a space where I've become the favorite. Everybody roots [for] the underdog when he goes against the favorite. "And I bet this: When Kanye West's sales come in, he's gonna have a 70% decrease cause Def Jam is gonna buy records [the first week] to keep him closer to 50 Cent. So watch the first week and then watch the second week. Watch his a - drop off the planet." He added: "I didn't get one trophy for ‘The Massacre.' ... I don't get trophies, I get checks. He gets the trophies. ... And I'll be sitting here like, ‘It's cool 'cause I get the check.'?"

I hope Kanye's album sells way more than 50's, so his a$$ can shut up. 50 stop talking sh!t just to generate album sales and attention. I love the way Kanye is handling this stupid situation, he's acting like a REAL man.

"Where There's Fire, There's Smoke!": Unsigned Brooklyn Rapper Waiting For His Big Break

Todays music executives seem like they're more interested in making a quick buck by signing artists whose songs have no substance, but a catchy beat and often an annoying hook. What happened to signing artists who actually have talent, like Brooklyn bred rapper "Holy Smoke"? Hailing from the rough streets of Crown Heights, Smoke entered the game at the tender age of 9. While other kids his age were busy playing with toys Smoke was primarily focused on expressing himself via the art of rhyming often called rapping. Although his competitors claimed he lacked experience, they could not deny his talent. Smoke has performed on various stages and has gone on tour with some of today's hottest acts. From M-E-T-H-O-D MAN, Doug E. Fresh, M.O.P., and Blackmoon. Smoke is also featured on two singles from Wu Tang Clan's "Sunz of Man" album. What more can be said about this artist? One thing is for sure, with his strategic use of words and his distinctive voice success is truly in his future. So, Urban America WATCH OUT for Holy Smokes! For more information about Holy Smoke visit myspace.com/holysmokesnyc and AzWeEnter.com .Below is Smoke's video for his single "Ah Bout".

Now, You Taking Shots At 50?:Cam'ron's Beef With 50 Cent

Aight y'all, rappers 50 Cent and Cam'ron have beef and it's really over nothing. Cam allegedly made fun of 50's real name which is "Curtis" and then said 50 has lost his street cred. Now, 50's calling Cam an "idiot". This definitely sounds like some high school bullsh!t. I always felt Cam'ron looked like an "idiot" going on 60 minutes discussing how he will never snitch no matter what the situation is. It's bad enough he embarrassed himself on tv, but he also embarassed Hip-Hop as a culture. So, I guess 50 is right. My advice to Cam'ron, "stick to making up words to sell records".

Kanye's TOP Five Hottest MC's In The Game

MTV News decided to ask Louis Vuitton Don, Kanye West his opinion about the Hottest MC's List. Here's what he had to say, "Like Jadakiss said, 'Top five, dead or alive", he responded. "To get to the point where I'm in the top five, it just feels good. It feels better than winning an award. Even though 'Can't Tell Me Nothing' isn't doing good on radio, I never had a 'hood anthem before."

He also gave a run down on his TOP Five Hottest MC's. He responded by saying, "I'm only gonna accept a couple of people being ahead of me. Only Two." So, here's the list.

1. Lil Wayne

2. Andre 3000

3. Kanye West (smh, he wasn't lying y'all)

"Do I Smell A Hater? Nah, It's Da Truth!": Calvin Klein (Not The Designer) Put's Jay-Z On BLAST!

Aight y'all Calvin Klein a former Brooklyn drug dealer who used to chill with Jay-Z back in the day appeared on DJ Kay Slay's show putting Jay on BLAST, saying that he's the one responsible for launching Jay-Z's career and that yes like the song Ether says, Jay-Z is indeed a fan, a phony, a fake, a pussy, and a Stan! Here's bits and pieces of his interview below. I didn't put everything he said because I know y'all ain't going to read it. LOL

“In the 80’s, Jay wasn’t trying to be a drug dealer he was tryna be a rapper but in order for him to transcend himself into this hell of a dude, he had to take characters from the 80’s like myself , said Klein. “ I give him 10% of his life that he talked about; I gotta give him something, [laughs]. He is from Brooklyn, he lived in Marcy Projects, his name is Sean Carter, he got that right.”

"To me Jay‘s a white boy on the inside , no offense to any white boys but to me he’s white boy on the inside and I’m waiting for time to tell what he’s gonna do with the outside of himself ,” He continued. “ I’m surprised he should have done himself a favor and pout me on his team . How you gon let Akon pull me in , official Konvict. Akon provided the chance and an opportunity for guys like myself , Jay could have done that out the gate but he didn’t.”

“People on the streets say Jay gave me a million dollars , Jay did that , there is no truth to that. Ty Ty’s been by Jay-Z’s side for so many years and I don’t believe he even got a million dollars and they started in 96 . Ty Ty just moved his moms out the project in 2005.There is no animosity cause I’m not broke ."

“Coming home and seeing what I see now , if you look at Dame Dash’s team and you look at Jay , Jay was a rapper/ partner but Dame was the one making all the deals happen, if you just take away Dame and just have Jay-Z as an artist, Jay would probably be close to a million. Look at Dipset , their artists have a lot while those on Jay’s side don’t have close to anything . Look at Bleek versus to what Santana has , Look at Ty Ty versus what Cam’ron has.I m not saying don’t like Jay the artist, I’m just questioning the person."

“Why are most of the artists at Def Jam on the shelf? Why is it about Jay-Z and his music?. Bring Bleek out. Let Bleek hold his own you don’t have to say Bleek don’t have to another drop album, I got him for life’. He can hold his own , he’s a man , let him come out with an album and get his ones and units up . Don’t give him nothing.”

Note: Ouchhhh, now that's DEEP. I already knew this was going to happen my homegirl put me on 2 months ago since she has sources linked to Jay. I always knew there was something fishy about Jay-Z, seriously give Jaz-O the credit he deserves. (smh) Let me find out Jay-Z is just as grimey like what's his name Puffy, P-Diddy whateva he calls himself nowadays.

Kanye West Album Cover

Kanye West' album "GRADUATION" is coming out on September 11th and there are speculations that the design for the album cover is not final. On his fansite http://www.kanyetalk.com/ there are submissions of different art work for the album cover and Mr. West is going to pick which one he likes the best. I'm not too sure how true this is, but it seems interesting. The picture above is just one of the many covers being leaked on various sites.

Wifey and Stylist...

Alexis Phifer is Kanye West' stylist turned fiancee. I don't know about yall, but this is news to me. Kanye has an interview in Harpers Bazaar (the illest fashion magazine) talking about she kept him fresh. Well, I would hope so since he has decided to marry her. But, I must say Kanye has TASTE because she is really pretty. If being a stylist can get you a man like Kanye then I should have been styling instead of persuing a career in Journalism. (smh)

Note:"It Ain't Hate, It's Da Truth"- Kina, you dumb late boo. I don't know what you seeing because shorty been looking horrid lately. LMFAO!

Konvict Muzik!!!!: Akon Working On Paris Hilton's Next Album

I don't know why anyone would want to work on an album with Paris Hilton, but I guess since she's so popular for doing completely nothing Akon sees some major dollar signs in his future. Shorty is so wack that Warner Bros. dropped her from their label. Now, my question to Warner Bros is, "Why da hell y'all signed her in the first place?" Akon recently explained to reporters his reason for wanting to work with the heiress on her next album. "In my mind I was thinking now Paris Hilton is an official convict, I think I'm gonna work with her and put a record out." Well, I guess that makes sense Akon!

We Know Where Aubrey Is, But What Happened To The Rest Of Them?: Danity Kane Squashes Rumors About Breaking Up

Lately, I've been seeing Aubrey every where especially partying with Kim KardASShian and her hoe's. Aubrey recently told TMZ that she was leaving "Danity Kane", some sh!t about wanting to be a Pussy Cat Doll. I guess she realized she will never be a Pussy Cat Doll and decided to take back what she initially said. Diddy done gassed shortys head up making her think she's IMPORTANT! Well, her bandmates wanted to set the record straight.

"This is the official statement regarding all the rumors and misinformation floating on the web. Danity Kane is still together and all of us -- Aubrey O'Day, Shannon Bex, Aundrea Fimbres, Dawn Richard and D Woods -- are looking toward to our future together, to taking the industry by storm yet again, and to giving our fans an incredible sophomore album.

"You's A Rumpshaker": Deelishis Drops New Video For Her Wack Song

Everytime I see Deelishis she's either got her legs spread out on the cover of a magazine or has her a$$ cocked up in the air. I will admit that the art of airbrushing does do a body good because the way she's been looking recently is not how she looked while on Flavor of Love 2. Deelishis has teamed up with "Da Baddest Bitch" a.k.a Trina for the remix of her wack song "Rumpshaker". Doesn't a song actually have to be popular for you to even consider remixing it? Whoever thinks this song is hot must not know what REAL MUSIC is! I almost forgot to mention, the video is wack too. Watch the video below. She's mainly doing what she does best...showing off her aSSets. She also has a Denim collection which I believe looks just like those jeans you'll find at Pretty Girl on Flatbush Ave in Brooklyn. So, you know I won't be recommending her line to anyone I know. Deelishis, PLEASE stick to spreading your legs and cocking up your a$$ on magazine covers for exposure.

Who's the fool in the video pretending to be a rapper?

WAIT TILL I GET MY MONEY RIGHT, Right??

September 11th, damn I used to think of 9/11 as the day the Twin Towers fell. Now, I can't think of nothing else but 50 and Kanye. Leave it up to the rap game to turn an important day into some battle of the albums (smh. Why am I not surprised?) . Kanye West' album "GRADUATION" was supposed to drop August 21st and 50's album "Curtis" was supposed to drop September 4th, but now both artists have changed their release dates to September 11th. As arrogant as the two are, I must say that's going to be one hell of a battle. 50 cent told radio personel Funk Flex that Kanye better change his date cause he is going to be upset with his sales. Being cocky as usual and making demands (Kanye better change his release date) and starting trouble seems to be 50's M.O. Kanye is not a fighter and he'd get his a$$ kicked in a fight with 50 I'm sure. Sh!t, I'm upset with 50 for starting drama all the time, but I know y'all seen that six pack and those guns he calls "muscles", plus he probably really has guns (wow). Kanye might not have a six pack or totes weapons, but he sure knows how to talk slick and still be professional which I was always taught is the best way. He slapped 50 with intelligence! 50 was thirsty for a comeback response as he always is so he can go back and forth to promote his album, but Kanye's a$$ didn't even pay him any mind. He actually came back with a remark saying that he didn't even care if he came in second place with sales because he wasn't changing his album release date because it's important to him. So, he basically shut the whole battle down. Sorry 50 you'll have to argue with yourself on this one!
