New track from Kanye West aka The Louis Vuitton Don! It’s entitled “Stronger,” a sample from Daft Punk’s “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” from Kanye West’s third LP Graduation due…ahhhh maybe sooner than we actually thought…
Awww naw, naw we can’t give ‘em all that! We can’t give ‘em everything. Graduation is comin’. It’s quite soon, it’s gettin’- the album is gettin’ pushed up as we speak- as I’m speaking right now the whole building is going crazy, [they] pushin’ the album up they like ‘Kanye doin’ drops, let’s push the album up’ ya know? The more drops I do, the earlier the album’s gonna come, so just the more shit I talk the sooner ya’ll get the shit so…
Urrgh, I love Kanye man, you know this album is going to be mad crazy! This sounds better than the first single, “Can’t Tell Me Nothing,” although “Stronger” is just a little snippet- I’m already getting ghostbumps listening to it, “i-i-it’s quite soon…” LOL! Keep talkin’ yo shit ‘Ye, I can’t wait much longer! Oh, ya’ll know I’m pushin’ this shit ’til the wheels fall off riiiight? Just from what I’ve heard so far, if you are not anticipating this album right now, you are just as crazy as this beat and I will pray for you tonight.

Lol this is something a friend of mine recently pointed out to me. Honestly, I had no idea that’s what those “ghetto” hispanic girls were called. Where do they come up with stuff like this .. and who starts it?? Check out a short description of a “Chonga” taken from a wikipedia entry below…
Chonga: A girl of Hispanic origin, usually between the ages of 12 and 19, but sometimes as young as 8. Primarily found in largely Hispanic cities in America (such as Los Angleles), but are most common in Miami (most famously, in Hialeah) and high schools such as Mater Academy, Barbara Goleman, HML,American Heritage,Everglades highschool, Flanigan high schools, and the mother of all chonga schools Hialeah High. The chonga is known for her cheap form of dress, a combination of the so-called gangstalook and that of a prostitute, but can vary between the two. She wears ridiculously large hoop earrings large enough to be bracelets, which are usually gold and have their name written in them, and diamond studs high up on her ears. They may also wear thick, gold bangle bracelets in stacks on their arms. They also wear tight shirts that reach their belly ring that say, ” Baby Girl” or “I love my Papi Chulo.” Depending on how ghetto she thinks she is, she may wear oversized men’s t-shirts with tight, usually white Brazilian pants, with a colored thong worn underneath that shows through (on purpose). The chonga’s shoe of choice is usually either the traditional black Reeboks, white Nike Air Force Ones, completely black Converse high tops, velvet black ankle boots, or the most popular, Chinese beaded slippers in the same matching color as their top, and worn with ankle socks. Most recently, Chongas have begun listening to reggaeton, but also enjoy rap, R&B, and the radio stations that play these genres of music. They can also be heard frequently calling these stations to make “shout-outs” to their babydaddy.
Funny shit, huh! That description had me rollin! - especially that last part about making shout-outs to their “babydaddy” on the radio!! And that video is the epitome of a HAM (Hot Ass Mess). Thanks for the laugh Erick!

Real talk when I first saw that cover photo of fiddy on Vibe, I didn’t think it was a real picture. Doesn’t it look like one of those cartoon personality sketches you get made at the fair? Where they draw you with a really big head and a small body? Anyhow, 50 Cent is on the cover of the July 2007 issue of Vibe Magazine that hits stands in a couple of weeks. I’m pretty sure they address that wack-ass beef between Cam’Ron among other things, so it should be a pretty good read … if you can get over that scary ass cover shot!

These are a few photos from a week ago that I meant to post the other day of Mya, Fantasia, and Bow Wow on 106 & Park. I really don’t watch the show, lol, but from the look of it .. my guess is that Mya & Bow Wow were the hosts? And of course, Fantasia performed When I See You - great performance by the way! Check out the rest of the photos after the cut.

A modern-day LSG is on the horizon. Just as Gerald Levert, Keith Sweat, and Johnny Gill joined forces exactly a decade ago to form a supergroup, so are current R&B crooners Tyrese, Ginuwine, and Tank. TGT, as they are calling themselves, is currently working on a studio album, and plans to hold “American Idolâ€-style auditions to find a fourth member. The trio is also set to hit the road this fall for The Shirts Off Tour, which is scheduled to touch down in such cities as New York, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Atlanta, Chicago, and Miami.
“With all the support our fans have given us individually over the years for our distinct signature styles, collectively we felt our fans deserved to hear great music in a way that they could never have imagined,” Tyrese said, according to reports. “I’ve known these guys for years and they truly are like brothers, so it only felt right to come together as a trio to make history.”
Oh lawd, I wonder how long this this gonna last. This sounds like an idea somebody came up with at the crib when they saw the My Body video on VH1 Soul (Yeah, it took me all day to find that video lol).
