His writing, vocals, arrangement - is on point. If you havn’t seen the “Because Of You” video you can watch and read my very own personal review on the video here.
As the old hip-hop saying goes, it’s official like a referee with a whistle: Usher confirmed to MTV News on Wednesday night that he is engaged to his longtime girlfriend, stylist Tameka Foster. “I’m engaged now,” he said, smiling. The Grammy winner even said he could be walking down the aisle before the end of this year. Rumors of Usher’s pending nuptials have been floating around for a little over a month. Photos of Usher and Foster — with a rock on her finger — have also made the rounds, but on Wednesday night, he confirmed the information publicly for the first time. Another milestone in the singer’s life is the release of his next album. Usher is back in full recording mode and says that he’s aiming to have the album in stores by November. “We’re still trying to find the title,” Usher said, standing in the vocal booth of Jermaine Dupri’s So So Def studios, which was a hive of activity on Wednesday night: While Usher and JD talked over album business, Bow Wow played basketball on the studio’s indoor court.
Of course, Usher also got some work in. First, at his home studio, he listened to tracks from his younger brother James “J. Lack” Lackey (Lloyd’s “Get It Shawty”), who’ll be joining JD as a producer on the new album. He then traveled across town for another session with hitmakers Dre and Vidal (Alicia Keys, Mary J. Blige, Justin Timberlake). Finally, the singer worked with JD until a little after 2 a.m. Usher said he feels that music is a little stagnant these days, but wants his fans and peers to know that “daddy’s home.”

This girl’s shit is slowly but surely leaking, anyway, more Beyoncé randomness! Like I said before and I am saying it now, “Flaws & All” is my absolute favorite, I am definitely going out to support my girl Beyoncé for this one! Also here is the full for “Still In Love (Still Kissing You)” as well, ehhh… it’s OK. Nothing more nothing less! “Dangerously In Love” is better in my opinion.
I call her X-tina cause she is working this cover so bad, here Christina Auguilera celebrates Nylon’s 8th Aniversary, in the magazine she talks about her growth since previous records, her sexuality and reflections on her recent album. And I guess she will be re-releasing Back II Basics soon, that’ll be interesting, so look out for that this coming month.
This is the official album cover for Amerie’s latest project, “Because I Love ItBitches!,” which is set to release in the UK on the 30th (of April). I love the the plastered wood, I love the images and retroness, I love Amerie! The one thing I dont get is that dang extra leg in the corner, they could have left that out, lol, but other than that she is absolutely gorgeous. Along with the new Amerie cover I decided to post a single (possibly first?) from the album called “Gotta Work” and let me tell you, I love inspiring music like this, this is what I am living right now! I also love the percussion and beat and everything man, I LOVE go-go I swear, I be jammin’ to this!
Tiny recently, spoke out to Sandra Rose that she knew something wasn’t right during her pregnancy. According to Tiny’s mom Dianne Cottle, Tiny had had a difficult pregnancy and on last Wednesday (3/21), Tiny knew something was wrong. Her pediatrician confirmed it: the baby girl she and Tip wanted so badly had no heartbeat. Tiny was six months along in her pregnancy. Tiny was admitted to Northside hospital that Wednesday, and on Thursday, following a medically induced labor, Tiny delivered a stillborn baby girl in her room surrounded by Tip and family and friends. Tip named his baby girl Llayah Amour and dressed her in a tiny white dress. Then Tiny, her daughter Zonnique, and family and friends took turns holding the baby for hours. “The baby was beautiful,” said Dianne. “She looked just like Tip.”

“Push It Baby” is the second single off Pretty Ricky’s #1 album Late Night Special in stores now!

Hehe check out the single (radio & album) below!
Here are three new tracks (two are snippets) included in B’Day Deluxe Edition which will release on April 3rd. “Welcome To Hollywood” is not exactly the same as Jay-Z’s “Hollywood” off the album Kingdom Come, but they aren’t that much different, just a fews edits here and there and this one is the solo version featuring Jay-Z. “Flaws & All” is my shit!! And also don’t forget to peep Yahoo Music for the world premiere of Beyoncé’s video “Still In Love,” April 2th (it’s a Monday), I’ll also see if we can get it on here - it’s so much hype on this song for some reason, people are saying it’s better than DANGEROUSLY IN LOVE! But I don’t knoooow we’ll see… I guess ya’ll finally got your love song.
Fans hoping to see rappers Snoop Dogg and Sean “Diddy” Combs live on stage in the United Kingdom will have to travel elsewhere. The duo’s One Love Peace tour has been canceled in the UK, despite efforts to keep the outing afloat and persuade government officials to reverse their decision to lift their ban on Snoop Dogg and grant him a visa card to enter the country. Snoop was banned from the country last April, after he and his entourage were involved in a brawl in London’s Heathrow Airport when they were denied entrance into British Airways’ first class lounge area. Seven security guards were injured in the fracas, which also led to Snoop Dogg being permanently banned from flying British Airways.
“P. Diddy and Snoop were incredibly disappointed and devastated by the news,” tour spokesperson Celena Aponte told AllHipHop.com in a statement today (Mar. 27). “They really did not want to let fans down this way as the UK was a planned highlight of the tour. However, this ultimately was a situation out of their control. With late notice of Snoop being denied a visa, time has ran out and it is too late reconfigure the show,” Aponte said.
The cancellation marks a low point for the tour, which recently hit a snag after Home Office Minister John Reid denied Snoop Dogg a visa card and banned him from performing in the UK. Snoop Dogg, born Calvin Broadus and Combs were slated to play dates in Cardiff, Manchester, Glasgow and Nottingham. The One Love Peace tour will now head to Dublin, Ireland for two shows Saturday (March 31) and Sunday (April 1) at The Point. Snoop and Diddy are former rivals. Their appearances in Ireland comes during a historic moment in time for Northern Ireland, as the major Protestant and Catholic parties have agreed to share power for the first time in history, starting on May 8. UK ticket holders can obtain ticket refunds at the original point of purchase.
