I just want to be successful. Ha!

Jay-Z Takes Paris

This guy’s become quite a press junkie. I can’t even keep up, anymore. International Hov! BP3 is still in stores, y’all. Oprah today.

Soulja Boy & Rosa Acosta Engaged?

Alotta dudes are nauseous right about now. I told you this kid was smart. Wait. Maybe he isn’t. The main source is Media Takeout so we’ll have to wait and see. But apparently SB proposed to the hottest video chick in the game some time last week. If it ain’t true, it’s a pretty good rumor. Spotted: Starpulse Sidebar: We can confirm Dre is makin’ records with Fuck Boy Brown. Don’t ask him for relationship advice. Update: Time to deny.

T-Pain The Thespian

“Shoot at you actors like movie directors.” Looks like Faheem is continuing to spread his wings. From iPhone apps to acting gigs. Pain’s been booked for a primetime appearance on Fox’s new series, Brothers. He plays a character who is dead broke. What a stretch. The show’s others cast members include Daryl “Chill” Mitchell and Carl “Apollo Creed” Weathers. In fact, the show has an all African-American cast. Yup say it with me: All Black everything!

Lil Wayne’s “Rebirth” Pushed Back Again!

Big Boi and Eve aren’t the only ones pretending they got something for your local Walmart. The homies at Rap-Up have learned the new date for Weezy’s rock album is Dec 15. SMH. Here’s hoping it drops the same day as Last Train To Paris. Ha! Spotted: SOHH Sidebar: Wasn’t Dwayne supposed to be in this? I know LL had his baby that weekend but still. Un-pro-fessional?

I don’t believe it, but I’ll let him explain to Sway. “Me and X probably have the realest of realest talks,” Swizz said of his close friend. “If a person don’t wanna help themselves, then there’s nothing you can do. The good thing is that X is willing to help himself. I know the X I can work with, I know the X I […]

Chris Brown Will Headline Powerhouse Concert

It’s the concert series where Jay and Nas made peace four years ago and, this year, the most controversial man in music will be the top biller. That’s right, who’s house? It’s Fuck Boy Brown’s house. My personal feelings for dude aside, this is a smart business move. It all goes down Oct 27 in NJ. You know we’ll be there armed with flip cams. Props: Musica Telemundo

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3483543&w=425&h=350&fv=autoplay%3Dfalse] Antwan tested out his Ustream last night at Stankonia Studios and played a new joint that sounds pretty good to me.

Kanye West & Lady Gaga “Fame Kills” Promo Video

Here’s something provocative to promote two of music’s biggest artists joining forces on their upcoming tour. Don’t think this is actually Kanye or Gaga but please don’t give them any ideas. Apparently, it’s not gonna be your average rap show, kids. Spotted: Gaga Daily via Perez Previously: Kanye West & Lady Gaga “Fame Kills” Tour Dates Update: Looks like Mr. West just posted this on his site too with this caption: He’s so deep. Like blue sea.

New Music: Playaz Circle x Cee-Lo “In The Ghetto”

Another day, another Playaz Circle post? I don’t know what the fuck’s gotten into me. Maybe it’s limited sleep, but I kinda dig this one. Goodie Mob’s leader takes over chorus duties for another joint from the Duffle Bag Boys. The chick at the end is mad annoying gettin’ her Big Rube on, but I can let it slide. Hey, it’s not like I’m gonna buy the album. Let’s not get crazy now. Sorry, AJ. Ha! First Seen: YK2 Previously: […]

New Video: The Roots “How I Got Over” (Trailer)

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3477743&w=425&h=350&fv=] This song leaked so long ago, I forgot how much I liked it. What we don’t like at the Double R is video trailers. Still Ahmir’s my fella with the red and white polka dot umbrella, so I’ll give them Philly cats a pass. Plus things looks interesting enough. We’ll soon see. Spotted: Nation

Ja Rule & Ashanti Reunion

Another sneak peek at what’s goin’ down at tonight’s VH1 Hip Honors taping. Irv Gotti’s two prized pupils reconnect for a couple of their biggest hits, “Down 4 U,” and “Always On Time.” Let’s just hope we can keep the peace with plenty of old rivals in the place to be. Props: Murder Inc Online
