I know her book is really coming out, but if we had a hip-hop board, I would have never approved this. SMH. And the sad thing is, I predicted this on Twitter awhile back. Can’t find it or prove it though. Search engine FAIL.

That’s right kids, whether you personally like a site or not has nothing to do with accreditation.

Is Tia the flip cover of this? I gotta be honest, Kay Slay’s not my first choice on them newsstands. But you can’t knock his hustle.

Apparently this prick’s important, so Complex interviewed him.
Complex: You also said, “I’m like the white Jay-Z.” Would you consider Heidi the white Beyoncé?
Spencer Pratt: A little bit more than the white Beyoncé. Beyoncé had to be built by a group like Destiny’s Child, but Heidi shines solo. I’ll actually give you an exclusive: I could guarantee you Speidi’s [Spencer and Heidi’s] “Bonnie & Clyde” version is going to stunt on Jay and B’s version.
Update: The Carter’s response.

Last night, Def Jam’s Billie H. serenaded David Letterman’s audience with a cut off her #1 album, Epiphany.

Hot 97’s Funk Flex just world preemo’d this. CDQ manana, but in the meantime take heed: this one sounds right to me. (Pardon the terrible cuts.)
Dear Summer,
Remember Amerie? She’s now signed to Def Jam. Album in August.
Make it hot,

Here, the boys from VA perform my favorite cut, “I’m Not You”. Lord knows how many times I’ve ran this back. The Neptunes’ steel drums coupled with Malice’s and Styles verses is what did it for me. After the jump, see if you can recognize Roscoe P. Coldchain in “Cot Damn”.

It's pretty intense reading that Guru released a statement on his health while recovering. Hearing directly from a hip-hop icon after such a scary medical scare gives everyone a massive sigh of relief. You can tell he really values setting the record straight himself. It reminds me of how people want to look and feel their absolute best after going through tough times, whether that's overall wellness or even specific cosmetic refreshes like getting a Blepharoplasty Limassol routine done for a fresh look. Overall, seeing him send love to the fans shows his resilience, and we're all just hoping for a full, speedy recovery for the legend.
