What’s good everybody? First up, I’d like to welcome you all back to Think2wice. The site was originally supposed to return at midnight Saturday morning, but due to a few unforeseen circumstances, we had to push it back to later in the evening. Sorry about that! Anyway, obviously you can see that the new layout is up and running. I’ve been working on this bad boy since the first of the year, and I really am feeling the end result so I’m hoping that you feel the same way too!
A big shout-out goes out to Mike - T2W’s music editor - for lending a helping hand when requested. I really appreciate it homie! Another shout-out goes to Craig and Dale over at Action Head Studios for hooking us up with that dope feature flash ticker (located at the top of every page).
I wanted to get the Meet the Bloggers section up and running, but I couldn’t fit in any time in to get that done, so that will have to be on hold for now. If you peruse around the site, you’ll notice a few new sections/pages: FAQs, Commenting Do’s & Dont’s, and the Classic Blog.What the hell is “The Classic Blog?” - I know you’re asking that question right now lol. So click below to find out what that is! CONTINUE READING
Diddy’s Angel’s have returned to bring us another hawt-ass album, Welcome To The Dollhouse (Bad Boy/Atlantic), in stores March 18th 2008! Productions for this album will include, A to Z, Bryan Michael-Cox, Danja (and the Clutch), Runners - everybody! And appearances from Day26, Diddy, Missy Elliott and Rick Ross!
Welcome To The Dollhouse, in my opinion, is like a musical platter full of influences from 80’s/90’s pop and R&B to hip-hop and modern day dance tunes that fit into today’s genre. My favourite songs off the album are Bad Girl, Secret Place, Lights Out and Is Anybody Listening.

Take A Bow is a solid pop-balled written by singer/songwriter Ne-Yo; and produced by the hit-makers behind Unfaithful and Hate That I Love You, Stargate production team. The song will be the first single accompanying starlet Rihanna’s re-issue of her third platinum-selling album Good Girl Gone Bad (Def Jam).
The song is so funny to me, I mean, the lyrics are a hoot! “You look so dumb right now …” He he! Another awesomely great tune from Ne-Yo, I’d say!
If you recently read reports from MTV UK, then you’re probably under the impression that rapper Kanye West and his fiancee Alexis Phifer secretly tied the knot in Paris last month. West, who proposed to Phifer during an Italian vacation in 2006, was said to have exchanged vows with the designer while vacationing in Europe in February 2008. However, a representative for the hip-hop superstar insists the marriage reports are “untrue”.
In other Kanye news, a video for Homecoming, the latest single from his multi-platinum album, Graduation, will be released soon! He posted caps from the video on his blog last week.

Dipset rapper Juelz Santana was arrested last week in his hometown of Teaneck, New Jersey after being stopped by the police, who after a search of his Bentley, found 29 hollow point bullets wrapped in a sock and marijuana in the form of blunts and roaches. The arresting officer claimed he smelled marijuana coming from Santana’s car and after searching the vehicle, noticed several “roaches” (very small blunts), Dutch Masters, and White Owl cigars.
Police also discovered nearly $20 grand in cash in a hidden plastic bag filled with “hundreds of Jolly Rancher candies.” They also found a blunt in the sock where they found the hollow points, and a sandwich bag of marijuana in the police car where he had been sitting.
I guess white girls aren’t the only celebrities who get sprung from prison early. For the past week, there have been reports going back and forth stating that rapper The Game had been released, and shortly after that, the reports changed to him being transferred over to another facility, and then back to him being reelased. Well now the official word from the rapper is that he’s free and back at home.
After serving eight days of jail time, rapper The Game walked out of Los Angeles’ Twin Tower Correctional Facility a free man on March 9. And after conflicting reports as to whether he was indeed free, the Game has officially released a statement confirming that he’s back home.
“I apologize for the conflicting news on my release,” says The Game. “But due to the sensitive negotiations on this matter, I felt it appropriate not to give an exact date on my release. I am truly grateful to my attorney, family and management for doing a great job in this respect. Upon my release I went directly to the studio with producers Cool & Dre and recorded several records including my street record ‘Big Dreams.’ Thank you to all my fans as well for the support.” [ VIA BILLBOARD ]
On charges of aggravated assault against his estranged wife, televangelist Juanita Bynum, Bishop Thomas Weeks plead guilty on Tuesday in open court.
“I want to apologize to my wife for all actions you had to go through,” Weeks said, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper. “I know it has been difficult. I appreciate you and I thank you.”
Bishop Weeks admitted to grabbing Evangelist Bynum, throwing to the ground, and kicking and beating her during an August 2007 altercation in the parking lot of an Atlanta, Georgia hotel. Fulton County Superior Court judge T. Jackson Bedford sentenced Weeks to non-church related community service and anger management classes. Once he completes both conditions, the aggravated assault conviction will be expunged from his record.
“I understand if not hundreds of thousands, millions of people look to you for leadership, both moral and spiritual,” Bedford said to both Bynum and Weeks. “Going forward I would be mindful in your conduct in the future. Going through a divorce is a very difficult time. I know what it does to people. I’m very pleased this was able to be worked out. Neither of you needed to be exposed to what would have happened in the courtroom. I wish you the very best,” Bedford said.
I heard drops all over radio throughout the drive home; I immediately ran into the house, destroying anything in my path, like a Britney Spears video premiere was about to happen! I knewJordan would come through ultimately, yes.

Producer Polow Da Don, the man responsible for invading the nation’s radios with In This Club by Usher and Young Jeezy, was the victim of an attempted robbery inside of his Atlanta recording studio Monday night (March 10th). According to various sources, a group of unknown masked gunmen entered the studio late Monday night and robbed those present of their money and jewelry. Here’s what Polow had to say … word for word:
“They thought they came to rob me, but I have heart and I have God shawty,” Polow Da Don said in a statement released Tuesday. “These crack head ass niggas I guess called themselves robbing me, but we robbed them…I wasn’t scared I was mad. I was likes “these dumb ass weak ass niggas.
“You gone have to shoot me because until then, I dont believe you. I am a man…and nine times out of ten a nigga calling himself a ‘robba‘, a ‘thug’ or a ‘gangsta’ is a cover up for being too weak (weather it be physically, spiritually or mentally) to be a man. It’s hard to learn how to be a man…luckily my teacher stuck with me….thanks Dad, I love you! Kids…do you know where your father is right now?”
(CNN) — Sen. Barack Obama claimed victory in Mississippi’s Democratic primary Tuesday. “What we’ve tried to do is steadily make sure that in each state we are making the case about the need for change in this country. Obviously the people in Mississippi responded,” Obama told CNN after his win. Mississippi had 33 pledged delegates up for grabs, which will be allocated proportionally. The state’s Democratic voters were sharply divided among racial lines, exit polls indicate. As has been the case in many primary states, Obama won overwhelming support from African-American voters. They went for him over Clinton 91-9 percent. The state has a larger proportion African-Americans (36 percent, according to the 2000 census) than any other state in the country. And black voters make up nearly 70 percent of registered Democrats.
But Mississippi white voters overwhelmingly backed the New York senator, supporting her over Obama 72 percent to 21 percent. According to the Associated Press, only two other primary states were as racially polarized — neighboring Alabama, and Clinton’s former home state of Arkansas. The exit polls also indicated roughly 40 percent of Mississippi Democratic voters said race was an important factor in their vote, and 90 percent of those voters supported Obama. In Ohio, roughly one in five voters said race factored into their decision. About 60 percent of those voters picked Clinton over Obama. Clinton’s campaign issued a statement congratulating Obama on his win, and said they “look forward to campaigning in Pennsylvania and around the country as this campaign continues.”
Pennsylvania is the next battleground for the Democrats. It holds its primary on April 22 and has 158 delegates at stake. CONTINUE READING
