Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
You Played Yourself

Kinda! Shock headline alert. It was Mr. Raymond’s music. Specifically, this tune playin’ in the backdrop when Miss Keri’s panties dropped and she made love for the very first time. No word on whether hickeys were exchanged. For those stumbling with their math, it was eight years ago. Born in ’82, she was 19. You know, I’m starting to buy her goody two-shoes act. How dumb am I? SMH.

She’s only 15!
Hand me my late pass if you must, but I never saw this footage of a Barbadian teenager singing one of Mimi’s big hits at some sort of school talent show. Who knew this young lady would grow up to be part of one of the biggest scandals in America and, oh yeah, run this town. Ha! Keep ya head up, Ri-Ri. The Double R gotcha back.
Note: Video cuts off before end. It ain’t my fault.

Can you believe it? Em’s ex new CD finally drops in eight days. Leave it up to LowKey (the only good thing about BET) to get his hands on an early offering. Written by the Umbrella men, Tricky Stewart and The-Dream, this shit sounds real Mr. Nash if you ask me. Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing. On second thought, I’ll pass.

Nippy woke up early this morning and called into Ed Lover’s Power 105.1 morning show. With limited time, she spoke on her decision to work with the Pied Piper. She sounds a lil’ crazy here. Maybe she didn’t have her coffee yet. Oh well.

“Stop fuckin’ with me!”
Damita Jo recalls supporting her big bro in his darkest hour and making the most expensive video in history. Seven millie! Eat your heart out, Ratner.
‘Scream,’ there was so much going on at that time,” Jackson recalled. “That’s when the — I hate to say this but — the first allegations [of child molestation] came out and the whole bit. He was very upset and very angry and he had so much pent up in him that he wanted to get out and say. And when you listen to the lyrics, that’s what it’s about.”
When Michael asked Janet for her help with the song, there was no way she could say no. “I played the role that I’ve always played in his life: his little sister that was there by his side, that had his back no matter what,” she said. “That’s what ‘Scream’ was for me.”

Nav says this new one from MJB is produced by Ryan Leslie and could be unfinished. Let’s hope he’s right. I say leave it on the cutting room floor until R Les addresses the Queen with his best. We can make it better.

You know YN loves some bootleg flip cam footage. Mariah Carey performed her new single for Oprah Winfrey and a sea of her New York lambs this morning in Central Park. Nick Cannon was also in the house gettin’ all kissy-kissy. Full show rip coming super soon.

Last night was the big VH1 Divas show live from BK. Good to see the girl Jennifer Hudson get her due. Now she’s a Diva like her fellow DreamGirl, Mrs. Carter. “I don’t like livin’ under your spotlight ?” I hear you, sistah girl.
