The Whole Delivery

The Combs man says that he never cheated his artist out of any money . ….There’s an off perception that needs to be addressed about me that I have ever robbed somebody or mistreated somebody. Or tried to be ruthless or whatever in this game. Like, all this year I’ve heard people say, “Where’s Carl Thomas, where’s Black Rob, where’s G.Dep? Where are these artists?” And for some reason they go ahead and equate that, cause those artists aren’t with me, that I’ve done something wrong or malicious or conniving. It’s something that I do have a problem with because they don’t have no proof that I’ve ever done nothing like that. Does this really bother you, because you’ve talked about this before. It’s a misconception. Especially someone who’s been brought up like me. I’ve been brought up to work hard for mine and never take from nobody. And to always try and help people. But people don’t understand this game that were in. You have a short life expectancy. It’s rare to a me, to be a Jay-Z,...

U2 has a new song they would like everyone to hear : Common will have a re-release of "Resurrection", his 2nd album terrific effort . He is definitely a smart kid . As you all know by now, Mashonda's favorite two people in the world got married over the weekend . Also marrying this weekend, though more quietly, were T.I . and Jazzy Jeff . You're probably well aware of what Lady Gaga did over the weekend . She didn't cancel her concert in Arizona, yet rallied against SB 1070 despite it of course not having the controversial elements in it.

Photo from The Getty Images Who knew that ACDC was still caking ? U2's massive 360° Tour has helped propel the band to Number One on Forbes' annual report on top-earning musicians. Bono and Co. scored the top spot on the list by netting $130 million in the past 12 months. They're followed by AC/DC — who just wrapped their 108-city Black Ice world tour on June 28th — with $114 million. Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen and Britney Spears round out the Top Five. That big tour money can only come from being an established artist, but goodness at their longevity at the top despite them not having a big album released in a while. While U-2 is all over the place, you really don't hear all that much about ACDC, making me very surprised that they are second on that list. Taio Cruz blows himself up, though not literally, in his latest video aptly titled "Dynamite." It may have been preferable after the dreadful "Dirty Picture" song yo blow himself up for jus...

This gets you into the spirit of this massive day, especially in Group C of this World Cup. A wonderful song this is.

1st music "news" thread of the day (2nd overall after this one ) Photo from Rivers Cuomo of MTV News Weezer and Lil Wayne combine with each other. This situation has been so unsetting , and it is says something about not just Alicia Keys, but Swiss Beats himself. If you love another person more than your current spouse, at least have the dignity and honesty to just tell that person you are technically with that you love someone else. It's just as simple as that. And though I wish she made a public letter to Swiss Beats' infidel behind more than to Alicia Keys, Mashonda has been classy here in this whole situation. She hasn't gone running to a Viacom network despite this cheating going on for a while. Let's hope that says the same. Amazingly enough, despite this going on for a while, this Keys-Beats relationship has only gone semi-mainstream in the urban world, not mainstream throughout on say, Perez Hilton or TMZ. And Alicia Keys is of course a big name playe...
