WITNESS THE REAL FIGHT OF THE CENTURY

T.I. vs TIP
IN STORES JULY 3, 2007

The oldest child of civil rights leader the Reverend Martin Luther King Junior has died. Steve Klein, a spokesman for the King Center, says Yolanda Denise King died Tuesday night in Santa Monica, California at the age of 51. Klein says the family does not yet know the cause of death but thinks it might have been a heart problem. King was born in 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama, and was just an infant when her home was bombed during the turbulent civil rights era. As an actress, she has appeared in numerous films and even played Rosa Parks in the 1978 miniseries “King.” She also appeared in “Ghosts of Mississippi” and founded a production company called Higher Ground Productions. She was also an author and advocate for peace and nonviolence.

She is survived by her sister, the Reverend Bernice King; two brothers, Martin Luther King III and Dexter Scott King; and an extended family. The family says in a statement that arrangements will be announced later. Her death comes more than a year after the death of her mother, Coretta Scott King, who died on January 30, 2006, of complications from ovarian cancer diagnosed after she had a stroke and mild heart attack last fall. She is buried near Martin Luther King Jr., on Auburn Avenue, the street where her husband was born and where he preached. In 2005, the King siblings were at odds about the sale of the King Center to the National Park Service. Yolanda King and brother Dexter voted in favor of pursuing the sale. Martin Luther King III and Bernice King vowed to fight the sale. Martin Luther King III said at the time that he had been removed as chief executive officer and Bernice removed as secretary of the board of directors earlier that year by a board he says was appointed by Dexter King, the board chairman.

Our thoughts, prayers, and condolences go out to the family at this time.

I wanted to see if this was actually going around on the net, and to my surprise it definitely is, I can’t stop laughing out loud! Pure hilarity. What the bloody hell were they thinking when they did this? I’m completely speechless right now, at one point, I thought they were just gonna start doing each other right there on the spot dang! That poor Ottoman, and they are obviously virgins, smh @ them putting their FULL names out like that at the end - LMFAO, NSFW!

Here are a few candid photos of Pharrell Williams and Twista on the set of a new video! I’m not sure if this video is for “Lavish” or what, but we’ll find out soon enough! Anyhow, what’s a hip-hop video without the addition of sexy models? And what’s a “Hype Williams video” without a bunch of crazy colors and backdrops? You can check out photos of them and a few photos of Twista, Pharrell, and director Hype Williams on the set of the video after the cut! I can’t wait to see the finished product…

UPDATE: THE NAME OF THE SONG IS “GIVE IT UP” AND IS THE FIRST SINGLE FROM TWISTA’S SEVENTH ALBUM “ADRENALINE RUSH 2007.” THANKS SO MUCH TO MYKEL FOR CLEARING THIS UP FOR US!!

If you’re anticipating the release of Kelly Rowland’s 2nd album “Ms Kelly” then according to her official website, you’re going to have to wait a little longer. Sony BMG is reporting that the album has been pushed back exactly ONE week, making the release date JULY 3, 2007. No need to worry though, because Ne-Yo’s album “Because of You” was pushed back one week and it ended up #1 on the Billboard Top 200 albums in its first week! So I think she’ll be okay … let’s cross our fingers and hope that this is for the best! We’ll keep you updated and we might even be able to interview the former Destiny’s Child member within the coming weeks!!! Oh by the way, THAT COVER IS HOTTTT!!!!

 

NBA season is winding down, so this will probably be one of the last sets bball candids you guys are gonna see for the rest of the year … or at least until November/December! Anyhow, here are a few audience candids of Usher, Jay-Z, Donovan McNabb, Magic Johnson, and Michael Strahan watching the New Jersey Nets and the Cleveland Cavaliers go head-to-head in Game Four of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with a final score of 87 (Cavs) - 85 (Nets). Since my team (Miami Heat) got knocked out by the Bulls in the beginning, and the Nuggets recently got knocked out by the Spurs (dammit!), I’ve been sort of “boycotting” this year’s playoffs (I’m a sore loser, yeah, I know..) but I can’t help but root for the Cavaliers as a last resort! Haha … check out the photos after the cut! CONTINUE READING

 

Can Huey top “Pop Lock & Drop It” ?? Hell yeah! This new single “When I Hustle” from his debut album is pure fire! The message kind of reminds me of Lil’ Wayne’s “Hustler Muzik” tho, but it’s all good! This song features R&B singer Lloyd and shows a completely different side of the rapper. It should be shipping out to radio outlets pretty soon, and will be followed by it’s very own video. Be on the lookout for it, and be sure to cop Huey’s debut album “Notebook Paper” when it hits stores JUNE 19, 2007!! For more info on Huey, be sure to check out his Official Site, and if you wanna check out “When I Hustle” you can stream it below!
