Nicki Minaj Reveals Tracklisting For “Pink Friday:Roman Reloaded”

03/18/2012  |  No Comments

03/18/2012 Nicki Minaj has released the official tracklist to her sophomore album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. The highly anticipated album will be in a store near you on April 3rd with a standard edition of 17 tracks, and 3 bonus songs making up the deluxe edition. Since this is Roman RELOAED, Nicki Minaj has enlisted some major hitters from the hip-hop game to make this album BANG. The album features appearances from, Drake, Nas and Young Jeezy on “Champion,” while also trading bars with Cam’Ron and Rick Ross on the Hit-Boy-produced “I Am Your Leader.”

    Chris Brown co-stars on “Right By My Side,” while Nicki reaches out to Jamaica with Dancehall King Beenie Man on “Gun Shot.” 2 Chainz brings that trap music on “Beez In The Trap,” and Lil’ Wayne appears on the album’s title track, plus the explicit “Sex on the Lounge” with R&B crooner Bobby V.
Honestly I had zero plans of purchasing her second album due to the singles released and that HORRIBILE Grammy performance! But now that I see the guest features she has on this album...ummm I may reconsider. Do you think she will deliver a second time around? Do you plan to cop? Head inside to see the full lineup. more

SHOTS FIRED….NO REALLY!: Crazy Stylist Starts Shooting at Derek J’s Atlanta Hair Salon

03/16/2012  |  1 Comment

03/16/2012 *sigh* Keyshia Cole's sister Neffe (the one with the kids and would cry on every show) was unhappy with her hair, so she left one stylist’s shop and went to Derek J (Hairstylist on Real Housewives Of Atlanta) for help. I guess the doo was so bad, Derek J contacted the original stylist to inquire as what went wrong. Now I see why the other stylist would feel a way. Derek should have just saved the day and keep it moving. ANYWHO!!! Being that things like that (asking questions about ones work...bcos artist are sensitive about their sh*t) can get you POP'D. The original stylist showed up at Derek’s salon and started bussing his gun. It's 2012 folks...people DO NOT HAVE IT ALL. Watch this news report on the incident above. more

03/16/2012> Nicki Minaj is in Hawii showing out!!The animated “POPPER” (rapper/pop artist) is currently shooting her new video for "Starships" and serving LOTS of BODY. Some are saying she looks deformed and others are saying her bod is HOT!! What do you think? I mean she did say her ass shots wore off...so does she look more natural?..Anyway according to the rumor mill over at AHH Nicki Minaj flipped and allegedly banned her boo/hypeman Safaree "Scaff Beezy" Samuels from the set. I can see that happening. It's MANY MANY MANY things with this couple. A source from the set apparently overhead Nicki telling her security to make sure Safaree is kept off of the video set. "Keep him out of my presence" she was overheard saying. Yup, I can imagine her saying that too...all stink like! Ya'll saw her "Moment 4 Life" doc that aired on MTV. That girl was treating that man like he was the "Help!" I laugh out LOUD every time I think about her checking that man for ordering almonds*side eye* the chick is nuts!!

Rihanna Defends Collaboration With Chris Brown As 'Innocent'

Rihanna Defends Collaboration With Chris Brown As ‘Innocent’

03/16/2012  |  No Comments

03/16/2012 As you all know the media will put TEN on everything! "OMG, SHE IS BACK WITH CHRIS"..."JESUS CHRIST AND RICE SAY IT AINT SO, AFTER HE POUNDED HER FACE, SHE SHOULDN'T GO BACK TO HIM." I am with Rih Rih on this one, RELAX folks it's just a music, although we all know they soooooo want to get back together. They're just keeping it on wax for now. Rihanna stopped by the Ryan Seacrest show and discussed the collaboration stating he is simply "the hottest R&B artist out right now". She went on to say "There shouldn't be a divide, you know?" she said. "It's music and it's innocent."

    "We did two records," she told radio host Ryan Seacrest. "One for my fans, one for his fans, and that way our fans can come together … I reached out to him about doing Birthday Cake because that's the only person that really … it made sense to do the record. Just as a musician, despite everything else, that was going to be the person. You know I thought about rappers, and I've done that so many times, and the hottest R&B artist out right now is Chris Brown. So I wanted him on the track, and then in turn he was like 'Why don't you do the remix to my track?' and it was a trade-off."
.........There you have it folks! Now eat the CAKE and be merry! more

WATCH VH1′ s Styled By June (Sneak Peek)

03/14/2012  |  No Comments

I give praise where it's due and flattery when I simply can't help it!! June Ambrose gets both from me because her artistry and panache (if you will) are tremendous and I'm eagerly anticipating her debut on VH1. Her show premieres this coming Monday, March 19th @ 9:30/8:30c. As you may know she made a name for herself in the fashion industry during the 1990s and she specializes in revitalizing her clients' style and ultimately their brand. I think this is a perfect time to ask if she could assist her fellow network mates (The ladies of Basketball Wives and to a lesser degree some of the ladies of Love & Hip Hop) with their style. Being that those chicks lack heavy in the fashion department. Anywho, Check out the super trailer for Styled By June above. In the sneak peek, the stylist works to revamp the images of Jaleel White, Da Brat, Aubrey O’Day, and Shanna Moakler. Will you be watching when the show debuts on March 19th? Watch the trailer now and then tune in this Monday, March 19th @ 9:30/8:30c. more
