Day 2! As we continue the special weekend edition of Young, Black and Fabulous with super duper blogger Zillz aka No Hush Money For Your Baby Mumma. Thank you for the wonderful emails I've been receiving since yesterday. If you're a workaholic like myself, you can appreciate what an email can do. Here's the promo flyer for Lupe Fiasco's remix to "Paris Tokyo" featuring Pharrell, Q-Tip and Sarah Green. Cool. If you haven't seen / heard the original... There's more! When you read the rest. Speaking of Q-Tip, he caught up with NYDailyNews about releasing his first album in a decade! In this piece, the influential hip-hop star explains why even though he has joined up with the other A Tribe Called Quest members a few times over the years, don't hold your breath for a reunion. His The Renaissance album is due on October 16th on Universal Records and he's going to release Open (another album he recorded) independently around Christmas. Fantastic. He also says that he and D'angelo have made sort of promise to one another to keep the music coming. Marsha Ambrosius has a new track called "RIP It's Over". It's great and if you feel the need to send this to overzealous ex-significant others, please do so. BTW, Marsha celebrates her birthday on 08.08.08. Didn't want you to miss that. Send her some birthday wishes when that time comes around. Marsha Ambrosius - "RIP It's Over" (prod. Knightwritaz) Ill. You don't have to wait until tomorrow to catch the premiere of "I Want To Work For Diddy".
Once again, the powers that be do the GREATEST casting job for your entertainment. And once again, Diddy got his employees walking across town for food. Nice. Poprah! You can watch the rest of the first episode here. And the moment the ladies have all been waiting for...drumroll... Boris Kodjoe. There ya go. Never say that I didn't give you anything. Boris Kodjoe, Larenz Tate, Chris Tucker, Kevin Hall Hart (my bad Kev) and more joined Jermaine Dupri in keeping So So Def Summerfest rolling yesterday. BTW, somebody requested Boris Kodjoe. I delivered! Thanx: Whatspoppin.net & ATLien I know how some of you love BET. Well from time to time, BET DOES, yes DOES, provide prime entertainment...not BlackBuster Movies...not staged 106 & Park tantrums...and definitely not that pseudo MTV / VH1 "reality" nonsense. However, on their website, you can find a list of ALL of the popular trends. Like: Open relationships & Man bags! Really? Alrighty...moving on. Ludacris keeps the best of company. You've seen him with Barack Obama. Here he is taking up an exhibition game for the 2008 State Farm Basketball Challenge with Warren Buffett, Lenny Wilkins and Bill Gates. Ahhh now that line makes sense. And lastly, something that's near and dear to my heart...sneakers! I like to start shopping early for that gift-giving season, and ladies, what do you get the man who has it all? You guessed it! Nike Air Jordan VIII PE Kobe Bryant! YES! The Nike Air Jordan 8's in Lakers colors and Kobe Bryant signature. Ballenciaga ain't got nuffin' on these baby! So rare. They're only going for $3150 on Ebay. Sneaker Fiends Unite.
