Erykah Badu Contraversal Video "Window Seat"

In Badu's video for "Window Seat," she strolled Dealey Plaza removing her layers of clothes until she was completely nude. According Badu’s Twitter page, the controversial video was filmed in one take. She walked through the plaza prior to taping to set up the shot and then arranged to meet her videographer the following day. In order to have shot the video legally, she would have had to have a police officer present while filming, which wouldn’t have been allowed on Dealey Plaza anyway.
“This happened almost two weeks ago and it's hard to prosecute someone who is charged with a Class B or C misdemeanor, someone would have had to call the cops right away and filed charges right then, but right now it’s probably not going to happen.”-Senior Corpal Janice Crowther, a spokeswoman for the Dallas Police Department
Public nudity in Dallas is considered a Class B misdemeanor, which is punishable with up to 180 days of jail time and a maximum $2,000 fine. But, if Badu had been arrested, she would have been charged with a Class A misdemeanor—because children were present—fined up to $4,000 and face a maximum of one year in prison for indecent exposure.
“She got up and ran away so fast,” says Crowther. “People were too distracted and shocked to call 9-1-1 [but] even if they did, this is a hard case to prove because any witness who comes forward would have to prove they were there.

Album Review: Still Standing

Monica's 6th Album is Titled Still Standing.

  This album is the culmination of hours of hard work and personal sacrifice!

Production was handled by Dallas Austin, Johnta Austin, Babyface, Drumma Boy, Bryan-Michael Cox, Jermaine Dupri, Missy, J Ferrari, Sean Garrett, Jazze Pha, Ne-Yo, Pollow Da Don, Ester Dean and a few others.

Monica worked on hundreds of songs with these producers.

In an interview she stated:

"I am going back to where I started. The next album I would like people to get more songs like "Why I love you so much," "Angel of Mine," or the things they really, really love from me." And that she did!

Originally titled Lessons Learned Monica decided to change the project recently as she felt that Still Standing was more appropriate for the body of work that she and Bryan-Michael Cox pulled off.

Monica provides a new spin on an old school classic. Unlike the original, which finds a heartbroken and disheveled woman realizing her stupidity at the hands of an uninterested lover, “Everything to Me” illustrates the happiness in finding true love. Songs following the same pattern include “Love All Over Me,” and “Superman.”

The album continuously straddles the lines between the good, bad and ugly of relationships but isn’t sappy where one may expect that it would be. She admits wrongdoing in “One In A Lifetime,” but then flips over and resiliently steps out of a bad relationship by way of “Stay or Go” and “Here I Am.”

Track Listing 
1. Still Standing (Feat. Ludacris)
2. One in a lifetime
3. Stay or Go
4. Everything to me (Single)
5. If I were you're man
6. Mirror
7. Here I am
8. Superman
9. Love all over me
10. Believing in me


My Top Picks
"Everything To me," "If I were your Girl," "Love All Over Me" & "One in a Lifetime"

T.I.P & Tiny Finally Begin to Plan For A Wedding

The wedding bells are ringing for T.I. and Tiny soon, she says they want to take their time, and she is fed up with people asking what's taking so long.

“There are wedding plans coming soon, sometime this year,” said Tiny.

Tiny says that there is no rush! She wants it to be a small affair, with about 200 guests. But not to big because they want as much of their privacy as possible.


"There’ve been a million rumors about us getting married. It’s taking away from the day that we really do get married so I just want to kind of have that moment for myself.”
“I don’t really worry about what people say about what’s taking so long. Like, it ain’t none of your business what’s taking so long.”



“If we happy, why are you so concerned? We living, we’re happy, we’re in love. I mean, it’s no doubt in my mind that he doesn’t love every piece of me and vice versa so we’re just doing what’s comfortable and what works for us. Tiny and T.I.: Not for the world. When we get ready to make a move, we will make it. We just can’t do it for everybody.”



"It was crazy. I seen him every week,” said Tiny over the phone from Atlanta. “We just picked up where we left off and we just, you know, I’m just in love all over again.”


T.I. and Tiny have been together for almost 10 years now. After Tiny had a miscarriage in 2007, the couple reportedly broke off their engagement but later rekindled their love and T.I. proposed soon after.

Jay-Z & T-Pain Cool Now?

If you're a Jay-Z fan, you've heard his recent project "Blueprint 3!" 

And you know D.O.A (Death of Auto Tune) 

But for those who dont know Jay-Z came out with D.O.A to say that there is too much Auto Tune going on and Its just WACK now. T-Pain felt some kind of way against the track.

 (I would too if all I did was Auto Tune Music)

T-Pain later insulted Jay during a show in Las Vegas. However, T-Pain, speaking to MTV News, revealed that there is no more animosity between the two of them.

"We talked at the Grammys,” T-Pain said. “It was a pretty big thing. Word for word, he said, ‘That's [messed] up the way you took that song.’ I’m [crazy], so we gonna take the song like that. That’s how we take songs.

 “He [Jay-Z] was like, ‘I didn't mean nothing by that,’” T-Pain continued. “I was like, ‘I already put out my apology song [“More Careful”]. So there you go. My bad. I apologize. Apologize for taking the song like that.’ We shook hands, did the little chest bump. That was the end of that.”

The short-lived feud between Jay-Z and T-Pain has finally been put to rest.

 T-Pain is currently hard at work on his next album, "Revolver."

He's Back!

August 24th will be a big day for T.I. 

He recently released a new song titled "I'm back." (Listen Below)

Before releasing the record to the masses, Tip held a conference call with an assortment of DJs around the country thanking them for their ongoing support during his brief bid.
“I figured there were a lot of things that needed to be spoken on in my absence,” Harris said of “I’m Back.” “There were a lot of things that went down and a lot of matters that needed to be addressed and this was the greatest platform for me to do it.
Tip explained that “I’m Back” isn’t the first single from his upcoming album, an opus scheduled to hit stores August 24. “This isn’t an official first single, just something to re-introduce myself to the market place,” T.I. told the DJs. “This is more of a statement record.”

Lil Wayne && Jail

How does Reginae feel about her Dad?

In the days leading up to his incarceration, Reginae, who is hoping to also pursue a career in music, took to her twitter page to show love for her dad.
 "Daddy I love you so much," she wrote. "You're the best daddy in the world. I'm happy that you're my dad. 

"It was up and down. One minute we thought he was going and she'd be sad and then he don't go," Toya said in an interview. "We [were] in New York like two times and we ended up turning right back around because he didn't go."

"The last day he finally went in, we didn't go," she continued. "My daughter was like, 'I wish I would've went.' It was just too much. I just didn't want to let her see that again cause both times she took it real hard." On his final day of freedom Wayne spoke to Johnson and Reginae over the phone. He told his ex to "be strong" and that his time behind bards was going to "fly by."



No Signing Autographs?
According to TMZ Wayne will not be signing autographs in prison, because he’s not a celebrity in the Rikers facility.
Wayne is being treated like a normal inmate, and if he stays on his best behavior he will be released in October 2010.

What'd they Say?

"I think we gonna miss a certain energy that Wayne has. The beauty about it is, he'll be back, and hopefully he'll come back a better person."
 - Diddy


" feel bad, because I don't think anything like this has happened in music since Elvis got drafted into the Army"- Bun B.

"It's f---ed up. I don't like it all. I don't have one good feeling about it. I'm happy Tip is coming out, but sad that Wayne and Gucci gotta go in. I don't like to see that. I like for my n---as that co-exist with me in hip-hop to win." - The Game




"He just told me to be strong and don't really trip. Don't let her see me down. At first my daughter would see me a little sad and you know kids they react off of your feelings sometimes, so he was just like, 'Be strong, make sure you take care of her. Make sure she straight and keep her phone on all the times so I can call her. The time is gonna fly by."- Toya

 "It's sad, because he doesn't deserve to go to jail,I'm a crybaby.You shouldn't ask me stuff like that. Reality hasn't set in that he has to go to jail. He shouldn't have to go to jail".

"Law is mind without reason. I'll return." - Lil Wayne

Beyonce & Tina Give Back With A NYC Beauty Center in Brooklyn

March 5th, 2010 Beyonce and Tina Knowles opened up a Cosmetology Center at the Phoenix House Career Academy, in Brooklyn New York.
The school has a seven month training program that will help women coming out of drug and alcohol rehab for the state cosmetology licensure exam.
Both mother and daughter pledged $100,000 in yearly funding, and L’Oréal will provide the supplies.

“I felt like they needed something that was geared toward women — Something that would teach them skills that would give them hope even after the Phoenix House,” Beyonce said about her decision to fund a beauty school. Of course growing up with a mother who owned a salon also had some influence: “I saw that a salon was a place for women to socialize, share stories, cry, laugh and get advice,” Beyonce continued. “Most importantly, I saw the joy it brought my mother, knowing she was a part of their transformation.”
