Young Jeezy will appear on the August 2008 issue of VIBE Magazine and known as the first ever real rap issue. In this issue Jeezy will talk about his upcoming album, The Recession, which is due in stores this August. He also discuss his relationship with Keyshia Cole and reaction to meeting Republican presidential candidate John McCain. Now this can be either be good or bad on both topics…I guess we’ll see. Look for this issue on stands soon!
Usher performing “In This Club” as the opener for the 2008 BET Awards, which aired last night live from Los Angeles.
The 2008 BET Awards went down last night, and while there were a few lackluster performances (Usher’s being one of them), there were a few memorable, surprising, and exciting moments. One being Alicia Keys’ performance when she brought out SWV, En Vogue, and TLC! Another notable performance of the evening was Ne-Yo’s, where he showed us he can hang with the big dogs when it comes to his dance moves - he even brought out the Jabbawockees (winners of MTV’s America’s Dance Crew). Chris Brown did his thing as well, and surprised everyone when he brought out Ciara. Did Rihanna approve of this beforehand? I’m curious to know. And speaking of Rihanna, did anyone else notice how far she’s come along, as far as her live vocals? I was really impressed when she performed Take A Bow! And last, but most certainly not least, on my list of the best performances of the night, Lil’ Wayne! He kind of scared me towards the end of the show because it seemed like he wasn’t going to come out. The show was already running 15 or 20 minutes over when he was introduced. But he did come out, and he showed us exactly how and why he has sold nearly 1,500,000 copies of Tha Carter: III so far! He started out with Got Money (feat. T-Pain), paid homage to Static Major (R.I.P.) with Lollipop, and ended off his performance with A Millie. He had the whole crowd hyped, and ended off the show perfectly.
While the 2008 BET Awards did have its good moments, much of the show left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. I expected a lot more from Usher. His performance was probably the most hyped up (pre-show), and ended up being one of the absolute worst of the night. While I love Keyshia Cole’s Heaven Sent, she really needs to work on her live vocals … and her stage presence. She had a lot of energy, she just didn’t know how to keep it all together. She looked like she was doing too much to me.
In my opinion, the 2007 BET Awards were much better. The performances, the overall show, and oh yeah … the host! Who the hell approved of D.L. Hughley being the host of this year’s show? I hope they received a pink slip in their box this morning. BRING MO’NIQUE BACK!!!

The-Dream released his video for his third single, “I Luv Your Girl” featuring Young Jeezy. Tell me what ya’ll think in the comment area. Check out The-Dream’s video after the cut.
The Dream’s latest single, Luv Your Girl, is a hot ass track! Real talk. He’s already shot the video for it, and it features rapper Young Jeezy. Be looking out for the official release in the coming weeks. But for now, you can check out the singer on the set of the video above.
Here’s the official video for Usher’s single, Love in This Club. The Polow Da Don-produced track is the first single off of Usher’s new album, Here I Stand which is scheduled for a late May release. The video features rapper Young Jeezy, singer Keri Hilson, and has cameos from Kanye West and Diddy!
EDIT: After seeing the video again I noticed more cameos from R&B Group One Chance, RapperNelly, and Singer Robin Thicke!
Hip-hop king Jay-Z and R&B queen Mary J. Blige showed up and showed out (from what I hear) in Miami’s American Airlines Arena Saturday night! The two were there, along with Kanye West, Timbaland, and The Dream, to kick off their Heart of the City tour. Rappers Young Jeezy and Fabolous showed their support from the audience, and were photographed backstage. It looked like a pretty damn good show! Wish I could have been there.
‘I Luv Your Girl’ will be The-Dream’s third single from his debut album Love/Hate (Def Jam) in stores now, it was produced by Tricky Stewart. An official remix featuring Young Jeezy made it’s go abouts around the Internet recently and to my in box! Woohoo! Although this was not one of my favourite songs from The-Dream’s album Young Jeezy makes up for that.
Usher’s new song ‘Love In This Club’ featuring Young Jeezy, from his forthcoming album Here I Stand (Jive)[ 1 ], set to release this June 2008, has soared from number 51 on iTunes all the way to number 1![ 2 ] Now keep in mind that no video has been released as of yet, no television/radio appearances made, no promotion at all. Yeah … I think somebody owes somebody an a-polo-gy! With that being said congratulations Usher, tehe!
