Last night me and a gang of media folks paid a visit to R.Kelly’s pad on the outskirts of Chicago. As Miss Info stated, Kellz’s crib looks more like a fortress than a humble abode. Camera’s and cell phones weren’t permitted inside (how’d ya do it Minya?!) but as you enter his his living room, there’s a stage adjacent to his music awards. After several minutes, Kelly emerged and encouraged us to make ourselves at home. Once dinner and drinks […]

As if 60 Minutes wasn’t enough, Russell Rush got M.V. to cry out to the Black folks who don’t watch the television news magazine. Grab your hanky, here he goes again. “Sitting in a prison cell didn’t make me feel remorse.  It was meeting so many animal lovers, speaking with them and looking them in their eyes. Staring at them.  Looking so deep into their eyes that I began to feel their pain. Allowing that pain to enter into my […]

We all know our homegirl Angela Yee’s raunchy sex talk show has your favorite MCs too shook to appear on. But who knew R&B singers were in the same gang. While Chico DeBarge keeps his cool, his fellow crooner Joe catches feelings over the usage of the word “pause” and dips out of the interview. Jigga said grow a set. Ha!

Hey Joe!

Guess Poppa Joe finally wasn’t lying for once. MJ will indeed be laid to rest on August 29th at the famous burial site, Forest Lawn Memorial Park. Pretty crazy that it’s taken this long. Thankfully, his brain will be included. Props: Rolling Stone Update: According to TMZ, his final resting place is in the Great Mausoleum section of the park. No go for public viewings.

[vodpod id=ExternalVideo.866689&w=425&h=350&fv=] I’m really sick of these less than 60 seconds video teasers, but this is to promote Cee-Lo and the crew gettin’ back together for their Sept 19th show in the ATL so it gets a pass. Plus I fucks with the Motion Family. Here Gipp shares his thoughts. Guess each member gets his own shine in the next 3 upcoming promo spots. Yipee. Props: MG

Looks like Wendy Williams has two replacements for her recently departed WBLS afternoon show. Salt-N-Pepa’s here! Yup, the greatest female rap group of all-time have gone from reality TV to on-air radio disc jocks. Think I can speak for most in my circle and say I have zero interest in listening to this. Love her or hate her, Wendy’s an institution and I can’t see either one of these hip-hop legends filling up her high heels. FAIL.

LOL smiley face, nigga. You got a problem? Here’s a lil’ taste of it live from a few nights ago. This Trey Songz kid is startin’ to grow on me. Especially if Kells disappoints… Props: Sermon Sidebar: Wonder if Mr. Folarin got that track yet.

Now this is startin’ to get controversial. With the NYPD concerned about safety, Mayor Bloomberg addressed 50 Cent’s planned event on Aug 30 in Queens. Curtis told His Honor he may be in attendance, but he’s not performing. Now that’s a change of heart (no Game) for those who heard the War Angel mixtape.

I gotta get all this Pap content up before B.Dot touches down. Say it with me, 1-2-3: Papoose. Pa-Poose! Let the children sing!
