Man, miss me with the fake Jay and B quotes already. Headlines. Some of you sites will do anything for attention and traffic. You really believed B would speak to Star magazine? Tuck your tabloid in. And why would Hov need to write a letter to his daughter? Bitch please. He wrote a song! It's called "Glory" and it's pretty fuckin' revealing. He went on the record (double entendre) but you still don't get it. You may hear baby Blue's first cries but no you don't know her height, weight or what she looks like. And no you ain't gettin' a flick, fool. Can new parents get some privacy? Even if they are celebrities. Sheesh! Who raised you animals? Party at the 40/40. Paps outside. Rushin' the velvet rope. Don't trip over your integrity.
Put us here if you like. The RR store stays open 24/7. SOPA? Yeah we Showcase Our Product Always. And we're gonna continue straight ahead til somebody up there turns out the lights. Start from scratch? I'm not afraid.
Here’s the first single from the Mechanical Dummy‘s upcoming album Graffiti. The writing’s on the wall, indeed.

In his never-ending quest to be taken seriously as a rock star, Lil Wayne has locked down a Jermaine Dupri-produced collabo with LA rock band Weezer. Lead singer Rivers Cuomo explains this mess to MTV:
“I reached out to some friends of mine in different genres: Jermaine Dupri, for example, king of R&B, I wrote a song with him called ‘Can’t Stop Partying.’ It was a real challenge for me, taking his ideas, which are very slick, R&B party [ideas], and giving it some kind of edge, some darkness, making it work with rock, making it work with Weezer.
“Not only that, but we got Lil Wayne to come in and do a rap on it,” he continued. “Any other rapper would’ve just done, ‘Yay, we’re partying! Let’s drink and have fun,‘ but he gave it the edge I was looking for. You can hear in his voice, it sounds so dark, like he was gonna get shot or something when he walks out of the studio. So I was real happy that everyone involved got what we were going for.”
It’s gonna sound like a bad mash-up for a $100, Alex.
In his second Webisode, Joe explains how “Make It Rain” came to fruition and says clubs are where he does his homework. Therein lies a problem. Just because a song bumps in the club, doesn’t mean it will everywhere else. I cringe whenever folks justify shitty music with, “It sound good in the club, though.” Regardless of the setting, more artists should take the approach of making good music. Hell, I’ve never heard an Eminem song after hours and he’s done alright for himself. Do what’s best and the rest will follow.

Lady “Loose Lips” Gaga recently revealed what the “Fame Kills” tour name is all about.
“The storyline is that Kanye is on one end of the stage and I’m on the other, and the whole show, we are trying to get to where each other is,” she said. “I want something that he has, which is the fame, and he wants something that I have, which is home, and my humble beginnings. So we battle each other throughout the entire performance to steal each other’s spaces…So I’m essentially on a quest to kill Kanye West to steal his fame.”
Is that the sound of Kanye’s head exploding?

“I am enrolling in Berklee College in Boston to get my bachelor’s degree in music! That’s how important education is to me. I plan to work with Rev.

Update 2: Look who’s tweeting.
Technically yes, and no. Here’s 11-year-old footage of Shawn promoting Streets Is Watching and his female trio, Major Coins. Remember them? Probably not. Once Amil went solo, the ladies disabanded. Four years ago, she told MTV she was relaunching the group. But by then, Whitehead was a day late and a dollar short.
