So the Rocsi/Terrence 106 & Park walk-off-the-set-drama is over. Or is it? Rocsi's people say things were blown out of proportion. But viewers think there's more to the story.
Music Fab: Jay-Z’s “Roc Boys”, Ryan Leslie’s “Diamond Girl”, Tweet & T.I.’s “My Dear”+Reality Fab
Because fresh new music is always fabulous…or fabulously whack.
Hov is back on the leak scene with this new track called “Roc Boys” from his upcoming American Gangster album. Check the audio below:
Hovie’s home.
Somebody needs to slap Kanye for hopping on this remix of Ryan Leslie’s “Diamond Girl”. Here’s the audio:
{Thanks Nile}
If this cradle robber turned producer turned singer isn’t a Diddy #2…I don’t know who is.
And Tweet is back on the scene with some new ish ft. T.I. called “My Dear”. Check the audio:
{Thanks Zilla}
Who let T.I. sing on a track?
VH-1 is kicking off “Gotti’s Way” and “The Salt -N-Pepa Show” Monday October 15th at 10p est. And they sent over some tidbits about each:
Photo credit: VH1
“The Salt-N-Pepa Show,” will follow the two ladies who in 2002, at the height of their success, called it quits. Now, they’ve finally agreed to give it one more shot. But, Salt’s still mad because she thinks she did all the work — and was never appreciated. Pep’s still angry that Salt broke up the group — and that she did it by calling Pep in the middle of a pedicure! They have never before spoken to each other about why they broke up in the first place. And now their lives couldn’t be more different. Salt is a devout Christian living a quiet married life. Pepa is still a party girl, still in love with the glory days. Can they overcome their past differences? Will God allow them to still push it on stage? Can they work together again without killing each other?
Photo credit: VH1
“Gotti’s Way” follows Irv Gotti’s efforts to resurrect his record label after being acquitted of money laundering charges in 2004. While trying to breathe new life into his label, The Inc., Gotti is also juggling his responsibilities as a husband and father of three. The series will provide an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at Irv’s company and the music machine that he is, working with artists such as Vanessa Carlton, Lloyd, Ja Rule and more. The show will also focus on the raw emotions between Irv and estranged wife, Debbie, by exposing their struggle to mend a severed relationship and make it functional for the sake of their family.
I’ll be watching…

It sounds like Tweet butchered the song! Natasha girl trust me, you’ve gotta hear the Ciara and T.I. version, its much better. Hmmm I wonder why Tweet is on the final version and not Ci-Ci? I guesse Tweet needed SOMETHING to help her career.

And we appreciated your old site for not being so broken up. People want to be able to look at a site without having to do so much clicking. With the old site, we could just scroll the page. You set yourself apart from the competition more when it was easier to navigate.

As for the new layout … I’m all for upgrading and what not, but just my 2 cents, I did like it better when we didn’t have to follow a link to read the rest. That’s what I liked about this site versus Concrete Loop. This comments sections doesn’t really phase me either way, but I did like being able to just scroll through all the posts to see what was poppin’. But congrats anyway.

A lotta chicks don’t wanna hear about his “whip game”, but the true hustlers out here are feelin it and know EXACTLY what he’s sayin. Basically sayin he IS dope- no matter what, he’s gone come back hard an’ make somethin off of it. Talkin bout gettin drugs into jail, FEDS and DA shit etc. Don’t get it twisted-not sayin I support that lifestyle, but I know what he’s talkin about.

Anywhoo, this reality tv stuff IS completely out of control, true it may be for publicity or to change ur rep but some things needs to stay behind or off the camera ya digg? cant wait till american gangster comes out, yes its stereotypical but i think it will be respected as a classic like SCARFACE. It’s based on a true story and will hopefully educated on what really happened back then and the good bad and ugly of the game.

ATCQ was off the hook, as was the WILD STYLE TRIBUTE and WHODINI. Looks like Phifey diabetes is kicking his ass. I hear he needs a kidney transplant. I pray he gets one because ATCQ proved that they need to come back with an album and a tour, soon!) Back to Gotti, so after the snippets, I was like really intriqued by his family life. So, I may watch for that aspect of the series.
