Mo Fire Mo Fire Mo Fire. U know the drill. Turn up the volume.

EXCLUSIVE: Kanye West Kills Lil Wayne's Official Lollipop RemixLil Wayne is nearing his release date for Carter III on June 10th and is doing everything right that hints that it WON'T be pushed back. He has a huge single in Lollipop, just releaseD A Milli, to radio which is killing the streets right now, now he has hooked up with Kanye West for the official Lollipop remix in order to garner more spins. The man is doing everything right now, apart from his gun charges, and I swear he'll push 1.1 mil first week! Anyway, Kanye West had to come hard on his track and he did. Bottom line these two cats are the best rappers in the game right now. Listen to the magic.

N.E.R.D. Team Up With Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, Pusha T For RemixN.E.R.D. are moving ahead full steam upon their release of their third album, Seeing Sounds. Still on the Glow In The Dark Tour, the creative band has wrapped up their video to Everybody Nose, which we have a sneak peek of, and has hooked up with Pharrell's CRS crew, composed of Him, Lupe Fiasco, and Kanye West, as well as Pusha T of Clipse for the remix. I also was able to kick it with him while in the studio when recording the remix so I'll show yall a piece of how it went down :) Music is sounding real good right about now.

Rhianna and Maroon 5 Team Up For New Single

Both on tour, both on the verge of re-releasing their platinum albums, Maroon 5 and Rhianna have teamed up to remix, Maroon 5's track, "If I Never See Your Face Again." The single will be featured on each of their albums and will be given full single treatment, including video, press, etc. Check it out here, I was a fan of the song before, now I think I like it even better.

G Unit's New Single Off Of New Album50 Cent and his comrades are back again for the second go around at a group album. The majority of the album was created before Buck was "kicked" out of the group so no word on what will happen with his content. I'm not sure if G Unit have the brand name like they once had, however, the track, at least the beat on the track is solid. If only 50 didn't talk so much mess this song might actually blow up. They just released it to all outlets and have even ask man of the hour, Lil Wayne, to hop on the remix. MF 3.0 has it all here for ya to check out.

Gnarls Barkley Got It Going OnThe Odd Couple. Gnarls Barkley couldn't have picked a better name for their second album. This funky duo, composed off Cee-Lo Green former frontman for the Dungeon Family's Goodie Mob, of ATL and Outkast fame, and Danger Mouse creator of The Beatles/Jay-Z mash up, The Grey Album, has released their second single and video called Goin On. The song and video, as usual, is funky and highly entertaining. The two genre-bending artists don't even feature in the video but after watching it you won't even mind. Peep the track and watch here.

That's it for now. Enjoy...until next week.

Suge Knocked Out

Hey folks,

I would have posted this last night, but time did not permit me... (Besides, can a dude chill for the summer?) heheh Anywayz, for those who didn't know, Suge Knight got attacked last Saturday night and left on the ground bleeding from his back... Rumor is, there was an altercation over some money... Suge was questioned by police, but you know how that "no snitching" policy is enforced in hip-hop. So they might as well have asked one of the shadows in the alley...

R&N -- 05/11/08 -- GOSPEL SUNDAY!!!

STAND OUT IS HERE!!!!!!

What up world!!!!!! Well we've all been anticipating it, and now it's here! Tye Tribbett and GA's 3 LP entitled Stand Out hit stores May 6th and from what I've heard already....It's definitely hott!.....Annnnndddd definitely different? Today we'll go back and follow TT &GA allll the way up to this point. One thing I can say about this group of people is not only is there a Greater Annointing present....They sure know how to entertain. I'm just sayin. Let's go....closer to the beginning...

Gary Indiana

The beginning of...."THE HAIR"lol R.I.P. Dr. Kenneth Riddle

They REALLY made it....TBN baby!!!!!

...NOW an unstoppable ministry!!!! VICTORY UNIVERSITY!!!

AND NOW....The teaser...

The wait is over!!!!! Album now in stores....STAND OUT!!!!

R&N 4/25/08 - FLASHBACK FRIDAY!!!!!

ONE HIT WHEREABOUTS

WHATS UP!!! Its your boy DT back again with another edition of the Friday Fiasco also known as Flashback Fridays (like the alliteration). This week i decided to get of the southern city tour bus and hit you with some artists you may have forgotten about. As I was lookin back, I realized how many acts Diddy has had his hands on over the years, and honestly I could do three more installments just on former Bad Boy artists, but today I'll hightlight four of them to wet the pallet, along with the Clipse.

DA BAND - TONIGHT

I literally laugh out loud when I watch this video cause it brings me back to the days of Making the Band Season 2 cause thats when we found out who the best rapper alive was...Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, and Dylan

LOON - DOWN FOR ME

Another product of Diddy. Loon wasnt the worst rapper Ive heard of, but the fact that Diddy tried to find every rapper he could with that certain drawl after Biggie (ie Shyne) ment that Loon wasnt going to last long.

DANITY K....DREAM - HE LOVES U NOT

Hey where are the black girls at......damn I did it again. This is Dream , Diddy's first attempt at a pop group. this was the groups only real hit before they disbanded. Apparently the girls felt liek they were being

TOTAL - TRIPPIN

Total was a really good group that never really got much credit after their early work. Its crazy to think that this song came out over 10 years ago.

CLIPSE - GRINDIN

Man the Clipse go hard. Hell they still go hard to this day, Their last album, Hell Hath No Fury was really good it just never got any commercial play. This is still one of the hardest tracks with one of the hardest beats ever.

Catch you next week.

DT

Foxy Might Be Going Back To Jail

Now, what would you do if they let you out of jail early... make sure you don't go back... Well, looks like she might be...

Foxy was due in court today and failed to show up on that last weapons assault charge... which means they may put out another warrant on that girl... Can she stay out of jail long enough to put out that long awaited album???

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon Married in Bahamas!


I can CLEARLY see this as a publicity stunt... But Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey DID get married... The things people do for album sales... Nick used that 20 carats ring (that he used on Selita Eubanks, lol)... Nick is really Wildin' Out. No pun intended, lol. That's all for now...

P.S. - (Man, 20 carats!!)...

Breaking News For The Jam



The band Pearl Jam that is, and guess what? They are writing a new album, first with producer Brendon O'Brien since 1998's Yield. According to guitarist Mike McCready, "It's still in it's infant stages". It may be a while, the band is trying to figure out what direction they are wanting to go in, but I will keep you guys up to date.


The Police And Costello Again
Starting in Ottawa



The Police are back at it again live in Ottawa Canada. Two nights ago was the first time The Police have been back to the capitol city since 1979's sold out and rocking crowd. Every time The Police play, it seems it could be their last North American tour here, so enjoy what you see. Who knows when it will be the last time.



Above is the great Elvis Costello on one of my favorite albums "This Years Model". He's kicking off the tour with the Police. It's not a secret that the band member hate each other's guts, but they sound pretty freaking incredible on stage, and hey that's all that matters sometimes. Drew D.

R&N - 05/01/08 - LEAK CRITIQUE

WHOSE UP FOR SOME LOVE IN THE CLUB?!?!??!......AGAIN?!?!?!PT 50

What up all?!?!?!? I'm backer. Happy 1st of the month. Yes...gas is still stupid. RIGHT TO IT!
I'm definitely luvin this jam Luv in this Club but how many versions are we gonna hear!!???! I don't know. I ought to put all them up just to spread the room.lol You're right...It should be ok especially since we had an entire book on R. Kelly's trapped in the hurt closet....but still. I'm just sayin. I will say that I'm feelin part 2 with Bey. But then again everything she touches is gold right? Oh wait...wasn't there someone else on this joint? Oh yeah...why was Weezy on this again? I'm just sayin?

You know...now that I think about it...this song overall isn't that hott.lol I know I just did a complete about face on this joint but you have 3 hit makers and a good beat....thats it. It just doesn't do it for me. B and Ush sound great, Weezy is Weezy, but it's too much in the lyrics for me and I just don't believe a word they sayin. I know I got real deep on this one but I'm a big time critic. Just sayin. It's almost redundant. I know there just better not be another remix. The one with T.I. was nice and the original was cool. Real like this joint but don't luv it. Just sayin.

AND ANOTHER THING!!!! Why is he callin her Queen B?!?!?!?! This is all the ammunition needed to start somethin up with Kim?!?!?!?!? Who by the way I'm sure is DYING to get some press after that foreclosure AND repo of the jag??? What ever car it was. Didn't mean to put you on blast Kim. But this is how it ALLLLLL begins. Ok I'm done....just had to get that off my chest.lol Just Sayin. Check out the track.

Holla peeps.

R&N - 04/30/08 - Hump Day EXCLUSIVES

Maaaaan, I got sum stuff for yall. Download, watch, and enjoy.

Busta Rhymes Made It

Busta IS Back, and is pulling out all of the spots. Always one to be different, Busta is late on this one and hooks up with Linkin Park for the single, "We Made It." The single is suppose to be the lead single for his upcoming album, Blessed, that is if the street single, "Don't Touch Me," doesn't grow bigger than this. MF 3.0's got the video and the track for you first. Enjoy.

Busta Rhymes ft. Linkin Park - We Made It (audio)

Usher Teams With Beyonce AND Lil Wayne

Three of the top artists in the industry who have each crafted their niche in the game have hooked up for Usher's Make Love In The Club part 2. The song is less of a remix and more of a new song and I guess was created in order to generate more steam before Usher releases his album, finally. The track is hot, Beyonce outshines all of 'em as usual, and Lil Wayne sound like he saving a little too much for his Carter III album either way the track is hot and just shows the star power that Usher got.

Usher ft. Beyonce & Lil Wayne - Make Love In The Club (pt. 2)

R.Kelly's Hairbraider VideoWe finally get to see the chick who did this to his hair! J/k, but really. Kels next album will be called TP: 4th Quarter and is dropping in the summer. Should be a hot, like most of Kelly's album, but it always do seem when he put that Twelve Play name to it, it just elevate the status. Guess we'll have to see, 'til then enjoy the video.

Raheem & R. Kelly Serve Up The Customers

The joint was already hot when Raheem dropped it as a single now R. Kelly done put his touch to it on the Customer (remix). When you first hear the track it was already reminiscent of a R. Kelly track so it only makes sense for him to jump on the remix. Raheem is really one of the promising R&B cats that knows how to make good music. It definitely won't hurt for him to collab with R. Kels just as long as they keep it strictly musically. No hair, fashion, or girl, I mean women tips. HA.

Raheem Devaughn - Customer (remix)

Mariah Carey and Jay Z Are Both Saying Bye Bye To The GameI'm just playing. But they are both together on yet another remix to a Mariah Carey joint. Many of yall probably have not heard this joint yet, unless u done copped the album E=MC2, but either way the track has already been blessed by Jay-Z and has been hitting the airwaves. Pretty solid joint, but what do you think? P.S. Did yall hear that MC and Nick Cannon might be engaged? WTF? I didn't even know they were dating. Props to Nick Cannon, yall gotta stop hatin' on him 'cause obviously he's pulling em. From Christian Milian, to Victoria Secret model, to MC? That's a high ass batting average.

Mariah Carey - Bye Bye (remix) ft. Jay-Z

The Dream Needs Your LoveAlthough his album is banging, The Dream has been receiving TERRIBLE reviews for his segment on the Heart of the City Tour with Jay & Blige. City to city have been saying the Dream really ain't that good of singer, he can't move, etc. Despite all that, The Dream is pushing through and has just dropped his video for his third single, "I Love Your Girl" ft. label mate, Young Jeezy. This track is one of my favorites on the album, but definitely don't think it's gonna help ol boy push any more units. Maybe he's going for a European push. Either way, enjoy the video here.

The Dream - I Love Your Girl (video)

Ying Yang Twins DropThe always animated duo of Ying Yang Twins are back doing what they do best with their new club song, "Drop." The song both similar and unlike any of their classic booty songs of the past is produced by Issac Hayes III, yeah the legendary Issac Hayes son, and uses a Beastie Boys sample. Man, I swear music is just comin full circle but anyway here's the kicker. After it's release just a little over a month ago on Myspace, as the Ying Yang Twins used the net before they offcialled decided on it to be a single or not, the song has been played over 30 million times! Very close to a Myspace record. Whether the song is hot or not, somebody likes it. Is this the year of the Ying Yang Twins? Their album, "2 Live Crew," a nod to the original Two Live Crew drops later this year.

That is it, I'm out to get ready for this Glow In The Dark concert tomorrow, HOLLA!
