Although the edited version, “Forget You” doesn’t have the same palpability as the original, the message is heard loud and clear. Just ask Gwyneth Paltrow. Ain’t that some shit? Ha!

A few nights ago, Dee Vazquez rounded up yours truly, Karen Civil, and rappers Nina B and Lady Luck to discuss my favorite subject: Women in hip-hop. (That’s sarcasm for all you folks in the back.) Rah Digga also phoned in with her two cents. Female rappers that look like and rap like Biggie? I’m all for it.

Usually, a hit record speaks for itself. But last Spring, Vado and Cam’Ron had rap fans speaking their language with, “Speakin In Tungs”. Powered by a shaman, trance-like sample, V12 kicked up top game while Cam showed his lighter side with a killa DMX impersonation: “I do, what I do becauseeee!…” Hilarious every time. Wanna know what’s poppin? Take a listen.

While that remains to be seen, here’s his appearance in the Recording Academy’s Music Is Life Is Music promotional campaign.  MTV was lucky enough to get the first look at the 30 second spot. The 53rd Annual Grammy Awards air February 13 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.

A little before noon Eastern Standard time on April 11, 2010, Wiz Khalifa turned it up a notch. After dropping seven mixtapes and two albums, he finally made a real splash with Kush & Orange Juice. Backed by whimsical production, Kush & Orange showcases Wiz’s growth as an artist and songwriter.
