Music Thread for 9/29/08- Rap City Joins TRL on the Shelf (And the Economy Has Nothing to do with It)
Photo from ATLNightLife: Thanks to it being an original, most impressive chain, Sean Kingston became the latest person in the urban music world to have his chain jacked.Quick News thread run through. Some good, some bad, and some that is quite frankly, deserved Especially the first two stories.
Rap City is done. BET is pulling the plug on a show that long ago should of have been pulled out. No one was watching it anymore, and even if Q45 tried his best after the failure that was Madd Linx, the writing was on the all. At least they can put on another mediocre black sitcom on their afternoon block. Here's looking at LL Cool J's "In The House."
Hahahaha, that's what you get for spending half a mill on a chain.
Sean Kingston $500,000 chain has been stolen from the mail. The teen rapper, best known for his Summer 2007 hit “Beautiful Girls, had his sister FedEx the gawdy chain from Los Angeles to New York but when the package arrived on Sean’s doorstep (a day late), it was empty.Kingston’s sister reportedly only insured the FedEx package for $500. The L.A. County Sheriff’s Department is now working the case.I don't know what's more funny, how the LA police is conducting the investigation or him buying the chain when his album sales weren't that high even to even be eligible to even get it. He is already headed on the wrong track.
Whether it was Chris Brown or whoever wrote this (or whatever you think of it), here's Britney Spears first single "Womanizer" in today's "The Listen." And I know what girls on one "side of the spectrum" are going to say when their ears hear this year's "comeback girl" say the phrase "dont front" a myriad of times along with the word "swagger."
Let's just move on , and see if this pops off the charts.
Illseed be getting these classics sometimes:
What? Alicia Keys in love with an Austrian? This might be the biggest case of "you need more people" in the history of rumors. Either that or Swizz Beatz is about to be sick with worry. The press in Austria is claiming that Alicia Keys is dating an Austria business man. The rumor is Ms. Keys is dating Gernot Friedhuber, CEO of the Grace Group.Obama stays even consistent with his playlist, as he has said for months on that Jay-Z and Kanye were in there:
"I enjoy it, but these days I don't have the time to listen to it all the time," Obama shared with Sway. "I'm a little older than Hip Hop culture. I was there at the beginning, but I was already getting older...What I've appreciated, watching this Hip Hop generation, is to see how entrepreneurial they've been. In the past, musicians oftentimes were commodities. They were just shuffled around. Obviously, they did well, but they didn't have the vision to say, 'I'm going to build a business. I'm going to build my own studio. I'm going to create my own production operations.' I think they're a lot more sophisticated than in the past, and that is a wonderful thing."Thank goodness Sway had enough sense to not ask him about that Ludacris song slamming Hillary and McFool.
I saw this on Friday, but I really hated seeing it. And maybe fans of Left Eye won't like it either:
Mass Appeal Entertainment has announced today that Left Eye’s last solo project will be released finally. Entitled Eye-Legacy, the album will feature 12 tracks of unreleased material from Lopes, with collaborations from past friends and inspired artists alike including Missy Elliot, Tupac Shakur, Chamillionaire, Lil Mama, and Bobby Valentino.
Of course, great news on both Travis Barker and DJ AM, but Goldstein had to attend the memorial service of Chris Baker. TWD once again sends our thoughts and prayers to those who perished in that horrible plane crash (and everywhere else for the most part).
Possibly a review of T.I's album tomorrow, as the music thread will continue with it's usual abundance of sorta-useful information.
