Trey Songz made the girls (and some of you guys, free yourself from that closet) melt when he did a show in all black everything at the House of Blues in LA last night. Here’s footage of him performing Invented Sex where he brings his bff Aubrey to spit his piece. After the jump, Fab comes out to help Trey with Say Ahh.
More footage from the Raggamuffin Festival in Australia has surfaced. This time, Mz. Hill is joined by Bob Marley’s son for one of my favorite posthumous collaborations ever. As for Lauryn’s ensemble, I’d like to this is her ode to Oprah’s character in The Color Purple.
It’s officially Grammy weekend in LA, and that means the chances of running into a celeb are about equivalent to stumbling upon a rat in NYC. Last night at the House of Blues, The Incredible Hulk’s colored brother had a show and brought out Wheelchair Jimmy to perform their hit Say Something. Aubrey also spits his verse from Forever.
This is what happens when people get caught in Tila Tequila’s ho shit shenanigans. The Game swung by the office of every celeb’s worst nightmare to clear up rumors that he’s fathering Tila’s alleged baby (that girl is giving birth to a freaking cactus, if she’s even pregnant).
Despite the rampant resurgence of audio atrocities, the musical gods have been good to us lately what with the return of Sade, and now, Mz. Badu is back and she’s brought Bilal and Weezy along for what will be the first of 10 versions of this record. New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankhwill be available 3.30 2010 A.D. (maybe, lol).
Never mind the controversy brewing that everyone’s favorite new anthem was swiped from some brothers in the D (it’s so cold there), the General will be drop-kicking, side-splitting and pointing his fingers at those cool cats, looking like fools this Sunday at the Pre-Grammy show in LA, Access Hollywood confirmed earlier.
In 2003, Michael Jackson used the R&B singer R. Kelly’s track “Ignition” for the TV show Michael Jackson’s Private Home Movies and now R Kelly’s music management claims that MJ didn’t pay for the track. Universal Music Publishing Group holds the rights to the 2002 song and consequently they have asked Michael’s estate to pay $3,000 in royalty. The company has furnished the music contract with the creditor’s claim in order to justify the fee.
After MJ’s death in June last year, his estate has been hit by a series of creditor’s claim. A memorabilia collector has claimed $ 5million, someone who wants a cut of Thriller video has claimed $1 million, his former adviser Dr Tohme Tohme claimed $2.3million and a law firm has claimed $1.5 million.
Tis a sad day on earth when a label is suing Michael Jackson for a measly three grand because he sang along to a song while rollin’ with the homies, a record label representing Mr. Piss on Preteens at that. Sad. That is all.
You’ll rarely find any shade thrown on Luda over here. I worked with him years ago in Jamaica, and it would be hard to find a more genuinely nice guy to work with, especially in this industry. He hit George Lopez yesterday where he chopped it up about his new single ‘How Low” and his own brand of cognac. This led to a hilarious Masterpiece Theater-like reminiscing session about the simpler times.
Luda: the simpler times my friend, when the President was white and you could hate his guts without feeling guilty. You know what I’m talking bout?
