King Koopa unites H-Town again


Peep Chamillionaire's new track Won't Let You Down (Texas Remix). It's fire. Man, it's a shame Koopa didn't sell this time around. I think he tried to do too much different stuff.

Chamillionaire- Won't Let You Down (Texas Remix)

Crime Mob - Short one member!


Lol, I don't know big of news this is but Crime Mob, the group that brought you 'Knuck If U Buck' and "Rock Yo Hips' has annouced that her fellow lady rapper, Diamond has left the group. No word on the reasons why, but Princess did say that Diamond wants to go solo and is going to drop an album in '08. She also told us to check out her new myspace and peep Diamond's new songs on there. Solo album?...fo real?

DJ Toomp and Mariah Carey collab!


DJ Toomp of Young Jeezy and T.I. fame is workin' on Mariah's upcoming album to be released in 2008. Apparently MC is almost done with her project but needed a club banger and that is exactly what DJ Toomp came with. I can't wait to hear what this seemingly unlikely pair came up with. Please believe MF 3.0 will bring it to ya as soon as we hear word.

Girl Fights? Lil Kim calls out Remy



Lil Kim has called out Remy Ma, talkin' down on the former Terror Squad's first lady on a freestyle to "I Get Money." Kim can be heard spittin the lines, "Who the hell is this chick, she's been out kinda long / Had one hot song, I'm sorry I missed it / Too busy being conceited being on my lipstick / Taking trips out in Cali chillin with the Hiltons." Now I know Kim use to be vicious back in her hey day but face it this ain't 1999, and Remy Ma is KNOWN for battlin', I mean that's what she does. And plus she crazy, the girl shot up her homegirl for stealin' money out her purse! Kim really need to be careful. What yall think?

Girl Fights? Janet Jackson vs. Mariah Carey


And speakin' of Mariah Carey her album which was to be released this month, but then was pushed back to early 1st quarter of next year is now rumored to have THE SAME release date of Janet Jackson's new album. Now I know they ain't no real beef with these women but you gotta wonder how long healthy competition stays healthy comeption. Should be real interesting to see what happens with sales and what not seein' as JD, Janet's boyfriend is helming Mariah's project, and L.A. Reid, the man responsible for bringing Mariah over to Def Jam is lending a big helping hand to Janet's new album. Wild. To me it all seem like a good way to bring more buzz to both projects, and ayo I think it's working.

Mannie Fresh - Sister found dead!


And to report on some sad news, Mannie Fresh's sister, Angela Bryant, was found dead in her New Orleans home (11/29) and was shot to death. No leads yet on why, or who but police suspect a random burglary. If this is the case then what the hell is going on? These robbers is fo real trippin. Angela Bryant is survived by her two young children, two and seven, as well as her newly wedded husband of last month. What a shame.

This is Dilly, yall enjoy the weekend. oh and GO VOTE!

Hey folks,

Mike Jones - My Number Still Works!

Wow... not that I'm an avid fan of Mike Jones, but I heard his phone got cut off, lol... You know... 281-330-8004... Anywayz, whether it's true or not, he's got his own YouTube to back up the story that it's still on...



Lil' Wayne & Lauren London engaged?!


If this is true, ALOT of dudes are gonna have their hearts broken, lol. Rumor has it, that Lil' Wayne is not engaged to Karrine Steffans (y'all know who, lol), but to none other than the notorious new model from "This Christmas", Lauren London! Heard she got a NICE big rock from Wayne.

Snoop Dogg - Sensual Seduction


I don't know how many of you guys caught this, but Dilly posted this track a few weeks ago, but I ended up removing it after an hour or so after hearing it becuase I felt it was TOO much. (Sorry for having a conscious. ) Coincidentally, I heard and ripped the radio edit today... (Shout outs to my cousin, Kevin!) and felt this was ALOT cleaner than the explicit... Think of "Ayo Technology", but WORSE... Anywayz, I guess you guys will hear that version else where...

Anywayz, without further ado, check it out for yourself...

R&N - 11/29/07

Hey folks,

Got Part 2 News of Yesterday... Not posting it all now, but just a lil' bit. I'll have a larger post by the end of the day...

Usher & Tomeka - Named Baby the 5th!


Just to finish off the Usher topic for the time being, it has been announced that they've named the baby Usher Raymond V... Yes, Usher was number 4. That's gonna be interesting when the Usher V gets older. Think he'll be singing like his daddy?

Common - Dating Serena Williams?!


I'm not much of a gossiper on relationships, but Common hasn't gotten much press as of late... I hear the honeys are real fans of his, so I'm just gonna throw this out here... They might be dating... I've seen Jay-Z & Beyonce try to pull this same kind of look off coming out of a restaurant... They try to go their separate ways so that it looks different than what it is...

RZA addresses Raekwon's Issues

Like Dilly was talking about earlier about Wu-Tang and how Raekwon didn't like how the album was coming, here is what RZA had to say about that... I think everybody in Wu-Tang is crazy, but that's just me...



Young Buck - Dude Got Robbed?!


There was a WILD rumor out there that Young Buck from G-Unit got robbed... Rumor was that there was an argument, and Young Buck lost his watch, chain and somebody took his Bentley!... That's CRAZY...

This is what Buck said to AHH:

“Ain’t nobody robbed me for a thing... There was an altercation between me and a dude here in Tennessee and during that altercation, I lost a watch which came off my arm. But as far as someone taking my Bentley, my Bentley is sitting pretty without a scratch on it, right here in my driveway and my jewelry is right here too. I guess this is what people wanted to happen. I didn’t get robbed for anything.”

Buck also said that the dispute wasn't over money. “I don’t owe anyone money and the dude who I had the altercation with knows me and I know him and we already had our words since the altercation happened, so whoever is posting this or commenting on this recklessly is trying to take Buck down but you can’t take Buck down.”

I heard that a similar incident happened when he tried to sign a homie of his to G-Unit... homie got his chain snatched, and 50 said "fahgeddaboutit", lol. Guess that's not what happened with Buck.

R&N - 11/28/07

Hey folks,

We and Dilly been at it trying to post daily for you guys... Hope you guys are enjoying it... Anywayz, I got ridiculous news for y'all... It's ALOT, so I'm a cut it short, and save some for the rest of the week.

Birdman - Arrested on Marijuana charges!


Not that it's that big a deal... You know all them rappers got their weed habit, but the deal is that 15 people in his entourage got arrested! That's a big bust. All of them had about half an ounce of weed on 'em. The jailhouse got full REAL quick last night... In other words, most of Cash Money Records, promoter, Birdman's wife, Ronald Williams (CEO) among others minus Lil' Wayne got locked up on marijauna possession. Looks like Birdman is gonna need to use some of his 100 Million Dollars for bail money.

Usher - New Baby Boy!


Looks like Usher and Tomeka had their first baby boy born on Monday! Congrats to the couple. Great time to promote that new album, homie.

Fabolous - Street Fam Member Murdered!


One of Fab's childhood friends and member of his Street Family team was stabbed to death inside Duvet, a popular New York nightclub early Friday morning.

Police in front of the club saw Shamel McKinney, stumble out of the club, bleeding from multiple stab wounds.

Witnesses said that as the while two other women fought, three men attacked McKinney and he died from his stab wounds at nearby Saint Vincent’s hospital. Cops found a 7-inch folding knife covered in blood in a dumpster near the club.

That's pretty ill... Condolescences go out to McKinney's family.

Lauryn Hill - The Re-Education of Lauryn Hill!


People are still in awe in how Lauryn Hill made a classic album, "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill", won 5 grammies, then just fall off like that... Columbia Records has actually put out a mixtape out for her fans... I hope Lauryn can get back to THIS kinda music...

Here is the tracklisting.... I'll see if I can get some of these for you guys...

1. Music (intro)
2. Lose myself
3. Rebel
4. The passion
5. Selah
6. Social drug
7. A change is gonna come
8. Motives & thoughts (poem)
9. Take too much (rich man)
10. Guarding the gates
11. The makings of you
12. Freedom time
13. One higher soul (outro)

Hey folks,

My new author didn't get a chance to post up for this week, but they should be starting in mid December. She's a very talented writer, so y'all need to get ready for that...

R&N - 11/24/07

Hey folks,

So lemme get back to those stories I told y'all about yesterday... PLUS a new one I found out about today!

Timbaland - Having A Wife & Kid!


Aparrently, Timbaland is planning to get married... to his publicist! On Nov. 21st, it was announced that his baby daughter was born. Timbaland and Monique Idlett have supposedly been dating for two years now, and are planning to get married soon... Congratulations to Timbo!

Ghostface - In the new IronMan Movie!


I heard Ghostface actually got a part in the new Ironman movie comin' out soon... I forget who's gonna play the infamous Tony Stark, but it won't be Ghostface, lol. Anyway, I heard he finished his part for the movie, and i think it's gonna be pretty hot...

Ne-Yo - Kicked off R. Kelly's "Double Up" Tour!


I don't know exactly what happened, but apparently Ne-Yo is supposed to keep the exact reason of why he got kicked off a secret... Rumors were that Kells wanted 7 dressing rooms for himself, and kinda left Ne-Yo without one... Other sources claim because Ne-Yo kept questioning R. Kelly's authority... Regardless, Ne-Yo is officially off the tour, and is now trying to do his own for his fans...

It SO sounds like the "Best of Both Worlds" tour with Jay-Z and y'all saw how that fizzled... Ne-Yo says he respect R. Kelly's music, but NOT R. Kelly as a man! That's pretty bold, but after that whole trial case with Kelly, among other things, I don't blame him.

P. Diddy - Finally Proposing to Kim Porter?!


So, you think Diddy has finally come to his senses after having his 6th child named Chance... That's just crazy... After his 3rd baby mama, he realizes he needs to marry someone... Rumor has it, Diddy is planning a to make a SPECTACULAR proposal any day now.

Diddy has supposedly already sent out invitations. There's going to be celebrities, camera crews, the whole sha-bang. If this is the case, Congrats to Diddy... finally.

R&N - 11/19/07 - KANYE EXCLUSIVE

Kanye West - broke down during "Hey Mama" performance

In a recent comeback attempt after the death of his mother, Kanye returned to the stage in Paris to fulfill his European tour duties. The show was bangin' like every other Kanye show 'til it was time time perform his dedicated song to his mama. Kanye barely got out the first lyric 'til he broke down and lost his composure. Various members of his band tried to console him but 'Ye just stood crying with emotion as the band played on. The Paris crowd did their part to help out by chanting "Kanye, Kanye." Kanye eventually left the for a few minutes then came back to close the show with a very emotional "Stronger." They say he kept yelling out repeatedly to the crowd, "I need you right now!" And the crowd responded with a standing ovation.
Yo, mad respect to Kanye to still be doing it with what he's going through right now. I can't imagine the pain he feeling right now, seeing as it was real unexpected. But hey, music is the ultimate healer right? Peep the video here.

R&N - 11/19/07 - EXCLUSIVES!

Dilly here,
I realized I ain't blessed yall w/ some R&B joints that I've been bumpin' so I'm here to share the wealth.

Raheem Devaughn


If you haven't heard of this man, then it's about time you do. In '05 Raheem dropped a classic album that was highly slept on titled, The Love Experience. If you ain't got it I advised you to run out to the store n go cop it or go to amazon.com order it, or download it. Anyway, he's back w/ a new album and new single, and this time he's supposedly suppose to get the right promo. Either way the joint is a banger. There's also a remix out there w/ Papoose on it...but it's Papoose so I prob. won't post it. HA. Anyway, Shout outs to all the women out there who be up on their music.

Raheem Devaughn - Woman

Eryakah Badu

Erykah Badu is back w/ a new single that's about to burn up the radio...hopefully. She's due to release a yet to be titled album early '08 and right now is workin' w/ a lot of different producers including the late J Dilla, 9th Wonder, and SaRa. This joint right is vintage Badu and should bring her back to the light. Ayo, have any of yall heard that rumor/joke about Badu that's like, "don't look directly into her eyes otherwise she'll make you start wearin' loud colors, and shoulder pads." Ha, it's suppose to be in reference to how Andre 3000 & Common's styled started flipping out while dating her. Anyway, I thought it was funny.

Erykah Badu - Honey

Estelle

Now I know yall don't know Estelle, but you soon will. She's a UK rapper/singer who just signed w/ John Legend's newly launched label, Homeschool Records. John Legend who just started workin' on his follow-up to his double platinum, Once Again, signed Estelle when the two collabed on a joint that didn't make the cut for his latest album. Estelle is best known for her album "1980" which spawned a modest hit out there in the UK. All her music is pretty hot so far, and her sound is a breath of fresh air. What yall think?

Estelle - Wait A Minute (Just A Touch) ft. Will.I.Am

John Legend ft. Estelle - Hey Girl

Anthony Hamilton

I know yall know him, and have heard his joint Do You Fell Me, off the American Gangster sdtk. I just had to post thins song 'cause this is my damn jam right now. Can't get enough of it right now. If you haven't for some reason heard it by now then listen up.

Anthony Hamilton - Do You Feel Me?

Saigon's Almost Ready

NY's Saigon is putting his final touches on his highly anticpated, and delayed project w/ Just Blaze. Anyway, so I am across this banger called Come On Baby ft. Swizz Beatz and who else but Jay-Z, the only man doing ANYTHING for NY, on the track. It's a pretty hot track but I still don't know if its gonna help push any units. Uncle Jay can't do everything now. Listen up and tell us what you think.

Saigon - Come On Baby ft. Swizz Beatz & Jay-Z

Fat Joe & Lil Wayne At It Again

Joey Crack is got another one, I think. Lil Wayne is on the chorus and blesses him like he did w/ Make It Rain and Playaz Circle, but yo the verses from Fat Joe I think are really ill. What yall think? And hey Fat Joe from NY right? Sheeiit, maybe's there hope after all.

Fat Joe - Crack House ft. Lil Wayne

New Releases

On Tuesday, Nicole S. from the Pussycat Dolls and Freeway are gonna drop....and FLOP. I luv me sum Nicole Scherzinger but compared to what she had with the PCD, she ain't got NO buzz. The only joint that made any noise was the one w/ T.I. Whatever You Like, but as we all know by now, one single ain't enough. She does have some ballad joint out w/ somebody collabing but I can't think of what it's even called let alone if I've heard it. Have you? And Freeway, has a single even been released yet?...With all that noise about being executive produced by his "big bros" 50 and Jay this man if finna drop with virtually no pub. But whose album got quite a few promo just two weeks ago, cough cough, Jay Z, cough, cough. Gaw what are they really doin' over there w/ them Roc Boys.

Mos Def - Collabo with Kanye West

Mos Def is wanting Kanye to do for him, with what he did for Common. Ever since Common and 'Ye got together it's been unstoppable. Imagine the possibilities w/ Mos Def and 'Ye together. I don't know bout yall but I luved Two Words off of College Dropout and "Drunken Hot Girls" is my ish too, lol, so it should be real exciting to see what they can cook up. Also, this man Mos apparently has EIGHT, yes count 'em, EIGHT upcoming movies through 2009. That boy doin' it man.

That's all I got for now, read up, comment, and VOTE we got nominated man. Told y'all AB had sumtin' important to announce. Holla.

R&N - 11/14/07 - Extra Serving Edition

Wow... I've got lots to talk about, but not enough time to do it... Some things to speak about Good News, Bad News, and THEN SOME..

Good News - Music Blog Contest!

Yesterday, I got an email about being entered in a Music Blog Contest... It's hosted by Billboard.com (hold top album charts for music) and HeyNielsen.com (Like Neilsen TV ratings). The contest runs until Dec. 12th. So I need ALL my MUSIC FORECAST fans to come vote for me. Click on this link to vote.

Another link will also be on the right hand side of the page with the other Links.
Only thing y'all might be mad at is that you have to register... I knew this would turn people off... So I tried registering myself... Surprisingly, it took me less than 30 seconds. This is the ONLY info you need to add:



After typing in some fake info, picked a username & password, i gave them my real e-mail so they could activate my account, then I VOTED. You could only imagine who I voted for, lol. Then I was done. If you have 30 seconds to spare and you're REALLY feeling my page, I hope you guys vote for me. :-D

Bad News - Jadakiss - Dropped The Ball (FOREAL)
Now, I don't want to be ashamed about Jada (especially after Dilly served him up on that last post), but THAT HURTS. Especially being brought up in BKNY (Brooklyn). All I know is that Jada needs to hope these vids of him screwing up on stage go away faster than Beyonce's fall down the steps at that one concert this summer.

My View: After Jay-Z drops another classic, Nas drops another classic, and Jada sells double platinum, NEW YORK is back in bizness. :-p

THEN SOME - Prince - DISSES Fans?!


I just found out that Prince has a DISS SONG. Clearly, i thought I was reading wrong... But apparently, it's called "P FUnk". It's aimed at certain members of a fan site called Prince Fans United. I don't think I can name the user.... Weemolicious(clears throat) that Prince was dissing, though. Shout outs to Chris from GlobalGrind.com .

The new song these lyrics:

"The only reason you say my name
Is to get your fifteen seconds of fame
Nobody's even sure what you do
I don't care what people may say
I ain't gonna let it ruin my day."

Anywayz, I'll try find that song when I get a chance, but I just wanted to hit y'all with a lil' update. Next post should have those EXCLUSIVE tracks you guys love so much.
