R&N - 12/21/07
Geffen & Interscope Merge!
Man... the music industry needs to get it's act together... And I thought I knew it all (from what I've seen) when it came to puttin' out and distributing music... But if Interscope, home of G-Unit, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Eve, Black Eyed Peas and dang near errybody else has to merge with another label because they lost on so much money... That's just crazy... Rumor is that they have merged, due to losing about $18 Mill off of the following projects... Eve (pushed back), Nicole S (scared to release) and Will.I.Am (flopped like a fish outta water, despite a pretty good 1st single...) They'll pick it up in 08, right? Man, support your favorite artists before they get dropped, please.
J. Prince Suing BET & Apple!
After hearing about, I'm wondering if J. Prince is the new Suge Knight...
J. Prince is suing BET & Apple because he claims that the series, "American Gangster" incorrectly labeled them as a killer and used his image without permission. If you want which episode, it's the one about Larry Hoover...
Now after another report of someone suing him over being beatdown by 7 men at one of J's gymnasiums over a bad deal, I'm REALLY starting to wonder about him... That's really Gangster, for someone who claims shouldn't be on that show.
Tiny - In The Travel Business?!
Now that TI's on House Arrest, I heard that Tiny is now a travel agent... Couldn't believe it, so I looked it up.... http://www.ytb.com/Default.aspx?wa=tinystravelxscapes
Wow.... Who woulda known... That's crazy! But I guess she's got to make the paper now, while TI works on Paper Trail (his next album)
Sean Kingston - From Kingston, New York!
Tha boy Sean Kingston is trying to bring his music to the hood... And it's kinda hot... Check it...
Now THIS is a hot one... It's been floating around for months, but this video is pretty cool. I'm mad Kanye, Pharrell, and Lupe weren't in it, but I guess they was a lil' busy. At the same time, I say it was a great concept considering that the group is called "Child Rebel Soldiers" Anywayz, Check it out.

Plies - No Show
A Montgomery, Alabama concert promoter has filed a lawsuit against Plies for failing to perform at his venue earlier this month.
Patrick Monfiston of P Entertainment Promotions filed the suit in Circuit Court on Monday claiming Plies was a no-show for a July 8th concert. He also claimed the rapper made disparaging comments about him on a local radio station.
"Too many artists feel they can come in and do us (in Montgomery) however they want...."I'm going to show them they're wrong." Monfiston told the Montgomery Advertiser.
"If Plies attempts to perform any show here, I will have him arrested," Monfiston said. "He must fulfill the terms of this contract first."

Diddy - Split With Kim Porter
According to People Magazine, Diddy and Kim Porter have officially announced their split.
"It’s over between Sean “Diddy” Combs and his girlfriend of 10 years, Kim Porter, a rep for Combs confirms to PEOPLE. A source close to Porter says she has moved out of the apartment she shared with Combs, and into a new home in Los Angeles with her children."
Matthew Knowles - Hip-Hop Toys
You know, the more I hear about Beyonce's father, the more I see him as a real hustler. From managing his daughter's multiplatinum group (10 million albums sold worldwide), to having his own label, putting out his own version of Kidz Bop, he gives Jay-Z a run for his money.
Mathew Knowles has partnered with Planet Toys to launch Baby Jamz, the first-ever hip-hop/rhythm-inspired pre-school toy line. It is said that Solange’s son, Juelz helped inspire the toy line.
Hot Ghetto Mess - Messin' Up Advertising Money
At least two companies have pulled advertisements from BET's new show, ``Hot Ghetto Mess.'' Critics say the show puts black stereotypes on display, but the network claims it "a blend of tough love and social commentary.''

"It’s over between Sean “Diddy” Combs and his girlfriend of 10 years, Kim Porter, a rep for Combs confirms to PEOPLE. A source close to Porter says she has moved out of the apartment she shared with Combs, and into a new home in Los Angeles with her children."
These are some quotes from a previous Essence magazine interview:
Diddy:
I know she deserves to get married, but I’m just not ready,” he said. “It’s not a reflection on how much I love Kim. It’s that I’m just learning how to be a good boyfriend. When I’m finished with this step, I’ll move on to the next.”
Kim Porter:
“He could be a little more attentive to his family, but I understand who he is and what that requires of him. He’s in a business where he wants to be the best, and he wants to make sure his family has the best.”
My View: Not a good look... If you have been on and off with her for 10 years, a child by her, and new twin baby girls with her as well and you say something like that... Not a good luck... but that's just me.
Matthew Knowles - Hip-Hop Toys

Mathew Knowles has partnered with Planet Toys to launch Baby Jamz, the first-ever hip-hop/rhythm-inspired pre-school toy line. It is said that Solange’s son, Juelz helped inspire the toy line.
“Many children love music and dancing to hip-hop, so we have creatively combined great toys with the hip-hop versions of popular nursery rhymes. My grandson, Juelz, was the inspiration for this idea and I am especially excited that most of the nursery rhymes are sung by my daughter, Solange.”
Hot Ghetto Mess - Messin' Up Advertising Money
At least two companies have pulled advertisements from BET's new show, ``Hot Ghetto Mess.'' Critics say the show puts black stereotypes on display, but the network claims it "a blend of tough love and social commentary.''
State Farm Insurance and Home Depot asked BET to drop their ads from the series. However, other advertisers remain in place and there are no plans to change the series at this point, BET said Tuesday.
Background Info:
"HGM combines viewer-submitted home videos and BET-produced man-on-the-street interviews that the channel said in a release are intended to challenge and inspire viewers to improve themselves and their communities.''
The six-episode series is hosted by comedian Charlie Murphy. It's based on a Web site that features photos of men and women, mostly black, with extreme hairstyles and clothing typically linked to hip-hop fashion.
Hotghettomess.com was created by Jam Donaldson, a black lawyer who's also an executive producer on the BET show, the Hollywood Reporter said.
