LOS ANGELES // WEDNESDAY, JULY 17TH 2008 » The 2008 ESPY Awards presented by ESPN went down last night at the NOKIA Theatre. The celebs and athletes came out to honor the biggest events in the world of sports from the 2007-2008 calendar year. David Beckham, Derek Fisher, Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo, Forest Whitaker, Carmelo Anthony, Candace Parker and more all showed up in support of the nominees for ESPYs last night. Check out more photos from the Red Carpet below and after the break!
Here is brand new music from Akon and Michael Jackson! ‘Hold My Hand‘, a chant-like tune which is signature for both Akon and Mike, features mild vocal harmonies layered over a whimsical piano ballad and hard beat. This collaboration is quite genius if you ask me, not to mention, you can’t go wrong with Akon or MJ on a track like this.
MIAMI, FLORIDA // SATURDAY, JUNE 28TH 2008 » On Saturday I had the opportunity to attend the “South Florida Summer Fest 2008†Concert featuring Birdman, DJ Khaled, Ace, Colby O’donis, Casley, Keyshia Cole, Akon, Lil’ Wayne and More live from The BankAtlantic Center. The show started at exactly 7:00 PM with opening acts Selena Serrano, S.O.U.R.C.E International Clique, Michelle Del Amore, Wyneter Gordon, and a bunch of local artists performing their radio hits like Grindmode’s “I’m so “High” and “Ecstasy“, Ball Greezy’s “Shoneâ€, Colby O’Donis’ “What you got“, and last but not least Casely (if you think Chris Brown, Usher and Ne-Yo imitate MJ alot, then you haven’t seen Casely live!) who performed really well, but WAY too long for an opening act, sang about 4 or 5 songs from his upcoming album 1985 including his radio hit “Emotional“.
#1: Why did Allure hide Jill Scott behind a bush, but left Gabrielle Union out in the field?
#2: Does Jermaine Dupri use a booster seat when he drives?
#3: Why is Madonna’s new album shitting on “Discipline” and it hasn’t even been released yet?
#4: Why is “Don’t talk to me, you know better than that!” [Jay-Z] so damn funny?
#5: Why did Wesley Snipes get 3 years in prison, and those racist ass cops who murdered a black man for no apparent reason didn’t spend one day behind bars? All Wesley did was not pay the government. Those idiots filled an un-armed person with 50 bullets! Am I the only one who feels this way?
BEYONCE’S NEXT ALBUM MIGHT BE HER LAST » Word on the sidewalk, street, highway, bridge, and everything in between, is that Beyonce plans to hang it up after she releases this next album. Now, if you’ve been following Beyonce, you’ll know that over the past decade of her music career, she’s stated several times that she plans on retiring before she turns 30. But she’s also said that she’d be taking a few breaks in between that time, but we all know that didn’t happen.
But her cousin Angelica Knowles (not to be confused with her coustin/stylist Angela Beyince) has spilled the beans to the media. According to Angelica, Beyonce plans to spend her days scouting talent for Jay-Z’s upcoming label, The Carter Music Group. She’ll also see that as the perfect time to make some babies and cause 9 months of ruckus online. Y’all know how it is when it comes to Jayonce!
I just don’t see Beyonce retiring any time soon. Sure she’s had several albums with Destiny’s Child, but she’s only done 2 albums so far, and 1 is currently in the making. I don’t see her calling it quits with just 3 solo albums under her belt. Besides, she loves what she does way too much!
We’ll definitely keep you updated on this rumor!CONTINUE READING
Usher and Tameka Foster, along with Tameka’s kids, pictured above enjoying some “family time” at the Kids’ Choice Awards. I know I might catch some flack for this but real talk, Tameka looks like she’s at the show with her three sons! Anyway, the 2008 Kids’ Choice Awards went down Saturday night in L.A. and you know all of the adult stars brought their kids to Nickelodeon’s annual awards ceremony. Every year around this time, the KCA’s honors the year’s biggest television, movie and music acts, as voted by kids who watch Nickelodeon.
Here’s the official video for Akon’s new single, “I Can’t Wait,” featuring T-Pain. If I see Gonzo T-Pain in another video, or see his name as a feature on another song, I swear to Bob I am going to blow something or someone up. I’m tired of hearing that tired ass synthesized voice on everybody’s songs. Aren’t you??
Jay-Z, Beyonce, Kanye West, and Ne-Yo (pictured above) chilling backstage at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards. Here are a few candid shots of some of the celebrities who attended the show. More can be found after the cut.
Will.i.am, Quincy Jones, Omarion, Akon, Wyclef Jean, Beyonce, Mary J. Blige and Pharrell Williams talk about their influence with Michael Jackson and his Best Selling-album to date Thriller.
We took you guys behind the scenes, and now we’re bringing you the finished product. Here’s the video for DJ Felli Fel’s debut single, “Get Buck in Here,” which features Diddy, Akon, Ludacris, and Lil Jon. Jermaine Dupri’s short ass even makes a cameo in the video. All they need is a hook from T-Pain and a verse from Lil’ Wayne, and they’re set! I have a feeling an unnecessary remix will be released pretty soon. Mark my words.
On a side-note, I wonder what the budget for this video was. $15, some food stamps, and left-over peach cobbler from Christmas? I don’t have a problem with “green screen videos.” But if you’re gonna do it, do it right!
(UPDATED) OPEN QUESTION: Am I the only one who noticed that DJ Felli Fel kat in “Malibu’s Most Wanted?” You know, the scene with Mike Epps when B-Rad (lol) is free-styling at that club. I just noticed that today (Jan. 26th) when it aired on Comedy Central!
DJ Felli Fel had everybody and they momma on the set of his new video, featuring Ludacris, Akon, Diddy and Lil’ Jon, “Get Buck In Here” directed by Dale ‘Rage’ Resteghini. To hear the new single and add DJ Felli Fel visit his MySpace!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KORIEE!!!! YOU ARE 18, GET BUCK!!!!
