If you still have any question on why Eve hasn’t had an album out in seven years, this will hopefully provide some clarity. This Salaam Remi-co-produced clunker is such a dreary mess it almost put me right back to sleep. Here’s hoping she never gets out of “Jimmy Jail.” Ha!

On tour with the Mighty Mos in the Chi, Mr. Electronica co-signs Dante’s declaration a few months ago that the Jay-Z’s of the world need to leave their millions at home and bring their skills to the battle.

Um, well… it’s not gonna happen, guys.

Whoa! Not at the picture, well, yeah at the picture, but an ode to La Flare? Really? This can’t be life. *Stares at pic*

Wow, can’t believe my dude might soon actually be able to touch the town. According to HipHopDX, who spoke to Shyne’s lawyer, he’ll be a free man in a couple of months. He’s due in court tomorrow at a parole hearing to determine whether there will be any restrictions that may hinder him from reestablishing his recording career. Good luck, Po!

Sidebar: I was so tight when this cover came out. Ha!

Oh shit, Ci-Ci’s stylist blows up her spot. Much ado about nothing. There was no haircut. It’s a wig, y’all.

Ciara’s known for having amazingly long, voluminous hair. This is a big change for her.
Yeah, of course it’s partially extensions, but her hair is long anyway. She’s in LA for the Summer and wanted something lighter, something different.

Her new style is a hair piece, right?
Yes, it’s a hair piece. She still has really long hair—this look is just for the Summer.

How did you come up with it?
Ciara has such a little, petite, cute face, and she told me that she wanted to go short. She wanted to do the Halle Berry, but I thought “We need a little sexy, we need a little swagger in front, so let’s just give it a little bit of lift.” But I didn’t want it to look like Rihanna’s cut, either.

Wow at least those other chicks actually shaved at least some parts of their head. You can’t trust anyone nowadays. Smh.

And it don’t stop. Another tribute to the King of it all. But this time, he shares the stage with fellow American icon Farrah Fawcett, who passed away on the same day. I can dig it. Stay classy, Mr. Carter.

Pop Quiz: Can you name all the members of Weezy’s crew? Don’t fret. Only a few can. But no worries, YN is here to provide a service. Y’all ain’t ready for all this and for a taste of Minaj at the end, you need to click on that lower left link. Drake’s down. The soldiers must march on.

Bonus: KC backstage with her peoples.

Prior to his moonwalk, Chris played Spliff Starr to Young Money as they performed “Every Girl In The World” last night in Virginia. If I’m not mistaken, this is the first time Chris rocked a crowd since the, um, “incident” last February. But give the guy a break YN. Even Ghostface admitted to goin’ up side his wiz’s head once. Hell, you even own a couple Ike Turner records. I got dirt on you doggie! I thought you light skinned negroes stuck together. Where’s the unity?!  

La Flare and Otis get faded on the remix to “Wasted.” If you ask me, this track sounds like a waste of studio time. But hey, what do I know.
