New Music: Neyo, Lumidee

Ne-Yo's new album, Because Of You has leaked and it is solid effort, as usual his songwriting skills are on point and although he ain't no Usher, his voice sounds effortless on the standout tracks, Addicted, Go On Girl and Leaving Tonight feat Jennifer Hudson. As usual Jennifer's vocals are breathtaking, I really can't wait for her new album!

Leaving Tonight

Go On Girl

Addicted


One hit wonder, Lumidee is back with a new album, Unexpected. Not much to say about it, I'm not a Lumidee fan at all she sounds like a strangled cat but the album is well produced with some good club bangers! Hopefully she will have another big hit and disappear for a few years again! Anyway I have uploaded a few choice tracks for your listening pleasure (I hope)!

"Proof" Documentary Coming to Theaters

One year after the death of D12 rapper Proof, a new movie featuring the slain lyricist will hit theaters.

The documentary, titled Time A Tell, provides a look at the Detroit Hip-Hop scene, while featuring Proof and DJ Jewels in the studio as they put together a complete 18-track CD full of original lyrics and beats within 24 hours for a segment called The Challenge.

Presented by Jewels, Priceless Music and Iron Fist Records, Time A Tell is the last creative work of Proof, who was fatally shot one year ago today (Apr. 11 2006) at the Triple C club on Eight Mile Road following a heated argument with 35-year-old Keith Bender Jr.

The alleged shooter, Bender’s cousin Mario Etheridge, avoided murder charges in the case after a court determined he shot and killed Proof in an act of self-defense.

Since the incident, Bender’s family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Proof's estate, claiming the rapper was responsible for escalating a fist fight that resulting in Proof pulling a gun on Bender and shooting him.

Time A Tell will premiere at 8 p.m. Thursday (April 12) in the GM Theater at the Charles H. Wright Museum in Detroit.

The event will be followed by a reception and after-party at 9:45 p.m.

T-Pain ft. Yung Joc: Buy U A Drank {Video}

I'm not a fan of T-Pain or Yung Joc but this is one of them damn annoying nursery rhyme tracks you know is total garbage but you still can't get it out of your head! Hell I thought T-Pain was a one hit wonder who would have disappeared from the face of the earth already but he just keeps coming back! As for Yung Joc I don't know what the hell he is saying half the time, he talks so damn slow and he looks and sounds drunk all the time!

No Jail Time For Snoop!

Snoop @ the Pasadena Superior Court

Snoop Dogg was arraigned in Pasedena Superior Court after being charged with gun and drug possession, following his arrest at a Los Angeles airport last year. Snoop Dogg pleaded no contest to drug and weapons charges, and received five years probation and 800 hours of community service.

I hope this teaches Snoop a lesson, I'm sure he has been arrested about four times in the last year alone. The Judges must be growing tired of seeing his face and with five years probation surely he's gonna go down the next time there is another incident. These rappers just don't learn, all that damn money and still no common sense!

Pic Of The Day: Jennifer Lopez & Marc Anthony

I know it was just supposed to be just one pic of the day but they were so damn funny I had to post all three. I'm sure Jennifer Lopez would not be pleased to see the Gallery of the Absurd's take on her marriage to Marc Anthony. I am a big Marc Anthony fan he is a good singer and a better actor than Jennifer but the media just seem to despise him because he is aesthetically challenged! But we can't all be beautiful and I like Jennifer and Marc together and I think he is just what she needs after all her failed high profile relationships.

Lily Allen Records "Drivin' Me Wild" for Common's Upcoming Album "Finding Forever"
WTF? As far as wierd collaborations go this must be way up there. Common is one of my favourite rappers but I'm not a Lily Allen fan at all. I think her album is rubbish and the media as over hyped her to make people believe that she is a groundbreaking and different from all the other drivel in the pop world. All she does is criticise other celebrities when she as only been around for two seconds. Common can't do no wrong in my book I just hope he knows what he is doing with this one!

Novel Will Never Work With Joss Stone Again!

Music producer NOVEL has vowed never to work with singer JOSS STONE again after a dispute over songwriting credits. Novel claims Stone reworked some of the songs they wrote together to ensure he received no credit on her third album INTRODUCING JOSS STONE. He says, "She did a little bit of writing, but I wrote, produced, arranged, vocal arranged, did backgrounds. "I was never paid for the songs - I just get my publishing. "Now she has this record with (producer) RAPHAEL (SAADIQ) and they changed some of the songs. I got no production credits, I didn't get paid, so let me at least get what's rightfully mine as a writer. "She didn't want to do that. There's only so much you can take from one person. She talks in interviews and starts s**tting on everybody. It's wrong." Stone's spokesperson was unavailable for comment.

Pic Of The Day: Madonna & Guy Ritchie Potrait

Madonna and Guy, as painted by Peter Howson

She's dominant, distant, almost manly. He's adoringly subservient. So does this new, far from flattering picture of Madonna and Guy paint them in a more accurate light than they care to admit?

For a woman who is notoriously sensitive about her advancing years, it is the cruellest of images.

A bloated blonde reclines naked on a green drape, her strangely masculine yet heavily made-up features gazing straight at the artist in a grotesque parody of seductiveness, while a shaven-headed, thuggish admirer paws at her pasty flesh.

In fact the image in question is the latest portrait of Madonna and Guy Ritchie by the renowned artist Peter Howson, which went on public display for the first time this week and is on sale for £15,000.
