  • New Kids on The Block
    Yesterday, 01:02 PM Coming up we had Another Bad Creation, The Boys, Kris Kross, Immature, and so many others that we listened to religiously. I was almost losing hope that the kids of today would have artists that were actually their own age to bop to. Kids are definitely growing up too fast listening to music made for those college age and older, but it seems in the last year it has started to change. With the success of Justin Beiber, and the emergence of Diggy Simmons, it seems that there is a boom again in ...

  • Has Twitter Made Artists Lame?
    Yesterday, 09:38 AM When I first joined Twitter, I thought it was great that fans could have one-on -ne interactions with their favorite actors, comedians, rappers, personalities, etc.; an access that they could never have before. I can even admit to being taken aback a little when an artist has responded back to something I said. The interaction is real. But has being able to be inside the lives of these celebrities 24/7 taken them off the pedestal that we’ve placed them on? For some reason, subconscious...

  • Taylor Swift Pissed at Kanye Apology?
    Sep 07 2010 03:00 PM Kanye may have apologized to Taylor Swift one too many times.

  • Ne-Yo is looking for “One in a Million”
    Sep 07 2010 11:49 AM The third video to the mini-movie type music videos to go along with Ne-Yo’s new album Libra Scale is here. If you remember, when Ne-Yo was living the “Champagne Life” he looked across a terrace and saw a young lady. The lady wasn’t impressed in the least bit by Ne-Yo’s head nod and “One in a Million” picks up from there. The corny dialogue and acting continues, that earring Ne-Yo is rocking really bothers me, and I’m not a fan of the beginning ...
  • Nivea Covers Sade’s “Stronger Than Pride”

She sang the hook on Mystikal’s 2000 hit “Danger (Been So Long)”, then in 2002 had her own hit single “Don’t Mess With My Man” featuring the twins from Jagged Edge. She married The Dream, in 2004, had a baby girl in 2005, then twin boys in 2006 and released albums both years that didn’t get much love. I’m sure with all those babies she didn’t have much time to promote them either. Her and The Dream divorced in 2007 an...
