The 2009 BET Awards aired the other night and one of the most talked about topics was the cyphers that went down. Three groups went but the last group boasted three emcees that clearly proved their on another level. Joe Budden was pretty nice in the first session though. But Mos Def, Black Thought, and Eminem killed it. Who came the hardest though? Most people are arguing between Black Thought and Em. I keep going back and forth so I cant really decide. Hit the jump to watch the all the cyphers in one video. What do you think?

Gossip über Lil Wayne, Ray J, Eminem uvm
Ich hab mir das Netbook wirklich mit den besten Absichten gekauft. Nicht etwa, weil die Vorlesungen in der Uni so langweilig sind, nein, damit ich von unterwegs auch bloggen kann. Nur ein Blog in der Woche ist ja wirklich etwas wenig, aber es passiert irgendwie nichts. Von daher heute nur ein bisschen Gossip, obwohl ich so lange nichts gepostet habe.
“This is it” ist angelaufen, hat schon jemand den Film gesehen?
Ray J ist Executive Producer von seiner Show “For the love of Ray J 2″ zusammen mit Schwester Brandy. Vielleicht achtet sie ja darauf, dass er diesmal NICHT alle “Möchtegern-Schauspielerinnen” Teilnehmerinnen der Show vö… äh liebt….
Lil Waynes “No Ceiling” Mixtape ist draussen. Die Trackliste:
01. Lil Wayne – Swag Surfin’
02. Lil Wayne – Ice Cream Paint Job
03. Lil Wayne – D.O.A.
04. Lil Wayne – Interlude
05. Lil Wayne – Wasted
06. Lil Wayne – Watch My Shoes
07. Lil Wayne – Break Up (feat. Lil Twist & Gudda Gudda)
08. Lil Wayne – Banned From TV
09. Lil Wayne – Throw It In The Bag (Remix)
10. Lil Wayne – I Think I Love Her (feat. Tyga & Shanell)
11. Lil Wayne – Interlude #2 (feat. Shanell)
12. Lil Wayne – Wetter
13. Lil Wayne – I’m Good (feat. Lucci Lou)
14. Lil Wayne – Poke Her Face (feat. Jae Millz)
15. Lil Wayne – Run This Town
16. Lil Wayne – I Gotta Feeling
17. Lil Wayne – Outro
Einen Download Link kann ich leider nicht anbieten, ihr wisst warum….
Chamillionaires drittes Album wurde übrigens vom 8. Dezember auf den 26. Januar 2010 verschoben. Zum Trost gibts aber bald ein Video zur Single “Good Morning”.
Erinnert ihr euch noch an Monica? Bestimmt wenn ich sage “The Boy is mine” von Brandy & Monica.
Die RnB Sängerin wird demnächst gleich zwei neue Singles von ihrem 6. Album “Still Standing” veröffentlichen. Die eine Single ist eine Ballade mit dem Titel “Here I Am” die andere eine Uptempo Nummer und heisst “Nothing like”, auf der ist auch T-Pain vertreten. Neben bei hat die 29jährige auch noch zwei Kinder UND eine Reality Show. “Monica: Still Standing” läuft diese Woche in den Staaten an. Ich sollte auch mal ne Reality Show machen….
Wie findet ihr die Version von “Empire State of Mind” von Snoop Dogg?
Mich haut sie jetzt nicht vom Hocker, da fehlt die Energie…
Diddy war im Urlaub und wurde am Hotelfenster gesichtet, mit einem Handtuch um den Hüften und wer war im Hintergrund zu sehen? Na, offensichtlich NICHT seine FREUNDIN Cassie sondern seine Ex und Mutter seiner Kinder Kim Porter! Cassie….du weisst, was du zu tun hast!
Hier mal etwas zur Inspiration:
Oh, da hab ich wohl etwas verpasst….Lil Wayne hat nun wirklich 1 Jahr bekommen? Wie doof, aber er ist sowieso schon überall bei jedem Artist auf jedem Song vertreten, da kann er auch ein Jahr weg sein, vergessen wird ihn wohl keiner…..
Angeblich will Eminem zusammen mit Asher Roth arbeiten…
Hm, kaum ist Omarion weg vom Fenster, kommt das Gerücht auf, dass Lloyd bei Young Money unter Vertrag sein soll.

20 Watts Reviews Young Money's Year 2K9
Young Money release an effective greatest hits album
PREVIEW: DOWNLOAD Drake’s “Ransom” (Feat. Lil Wayne) MP3
WE GIVE IT: 15/20 Watts
2009 has surely been a definitive year for Young Money Entertainment. With collaborative single “Every Girl” and Drake’s “Best I Ever Had” charting at #10 and #2 respectively, and a slew of albums on the horizon, the label is enjoying the success of pop stardom. Led by Lil’ Wayne, Young Money is a crew consisting of rappers and singers signed to his imprint. Young Money Year 2k9 is a sort of like a greatest hits (a large portion of this album is available on previously released mixtapes), showcasing the successful mixtape songs, freestyles, and singles of 2009.
The main characters of the album are the label’s two megastars, Lil’ Wayne and Drake. They collaborate and completely rip apart “Ransom” with multisyllabic flows and crisp punch lines, while being a little more fun and laid back on “Man of the Year.” The original version of “Forever” is also featured, though it severely lacks a monster verse from Eminem, as seen on the version cut for More Than A Game. “Every Girl” shows up too, catchy as ever, even after months of radio rotation.
2k9 does have a lot of sloppy moments though. They sound lazy on “Stuntin” and Drake’s flow and rhyme scheme is too similar to Wayne’s on the pounding “I’m Goin’ In,” to be called original and creative. The beat on “Juice” sounds like it was made on GarageBand and “Baseball Sex” is a complete mess. J.R. Writer’s “We Like The Cars” will leave listeners questioning his intelligence and “Stunt Hard” is equally mindless.
The worst part is that the album’s strongest moments were already featured on Drake’s mixtape, So Far So Gone. The Bun-B featured “Uptown” showcases the creative verses of Wayne and Drake over a multi-layered punchy beat. Drake’s best song to date, “Successful”, is the strongest moment on 2k9. The spooky chords and sharp 808 snares, combined with Trey Songz’s mellow vocals, give Drake a smooth palette to paint a vivid, introspective picture about the struggles of a rising star.
Young Money Year 2k9 feels like a bunch of tracks thrown together simply to add buzz to upcoming label releases. Though that is understandable given that it’s free, listeners will find they have heard most of these songs numerous times before. Young Money artists, especially Drake, need to buckle down and produce quality albums so their thunderous statements of hip-hop superiority hold true to scrutiny.

Madonna wanted to collaborate with Eminem, got rejected
So, Madonna, in her pursuit to alienate her core fan base and, ultimately, reach a wider American market, once attempted doing a duet or a collaboration of sorts with Eminem. Yes, the chick that was discovered in the Dancetaria wanted to work with the poster child of homophobia. She says in her interview with Rolling Stone “I wanted to work with Eminem. I don’t think he wanted to work with me. Maybe he’s shy.” Or maybe you’re an ingrate?

Eminem esnoba Madonna
Particularmente, eu não gosto da Madonna, e por algum motivo, eu gosto do Eminem. É, ele não faz meu estilo, mas ele é uma boa pessoa. Essa notícia me deixou animadinha, principalmente por mostrar que as coisas estão muito bem no seu lugar.
De acordo com o “Digital Spy”, Eminem esnobou uma possível parceria com Madonna em novo material. O rapper de 36 anos não quis colaborar com a super e mundial diva pop.
“Eu queria trabalhar com Eminem. Eu não acho que ele queira trabalhar comigo. Talvez ele seja tímido“, a cantora de 51 anos contou à Rolling Stone. Recentemente, Nelly Furtado também disse que gostaria de gravar uma faixa com Eminem. Que invejem a Dido, que realizou o feito há alguns anos com a faixa ‘Thank You’.

Mariah Carey: Blame It On The AAAAlcohol !!
“Drunk As Hell” was how they described Mariah Carey the other night. They say she showed up, without her husband Nick, at a restaurant in New York and was so thrashed that she could barely speak and had to hang on to her bodyguards to keep from falling. Does this picture look similar to the story? Mimi better be careful with all that drinking..It will only confirm Eminem’s accusations of you and your drinking problemas. he he he
