Here are some "Jenius Just" Blaze clips for your viewing pleasure. He is genuinely one of the geniuses or jeniuses in the game. The first clip includes some great snippets of Saigon's upcoming tracks and a cameo from Saigon himself. Yay! I like Saigon's arms. And I want to buy everything in his dashiki clothing line. Oh yeah, the tracks sound sumthin like fi-yah, as a good friend of mine used to say: fi-yaaaaah.
Behind the scenes w/ Saigon
Fabolous's Just Blaze- produced "Return of the Hustle" video featuring Swiss Beatz, some ass shots and some tittie shots.
Finally here's some footage of Jenius Just working with a band to craft the "Return of the Hustle" beat (courtesy of JustBlazetv).
Check out Eve's new Swiss Beatz-produced "Tambourine", complete with a choreographed video. It's Eeeeve, snitches!
Swiss is consistently an impressive dude, even though he often looks a bit sketchy in photos. Bravo, Swissie. Bravo. The dancers are pretty nice with it too. Eve's verses were very laid back as usual. I always find myself wanting more. I guess I'll have to wait for the album and "keep pressin rewind".
I kinda miss Classic Eve who always had that stank look on her face. Whatever. I guess UPN Eve is cool too.
Sean Paul of the Youngbloodz is now going by "Sean P". He will NOT, (I repeat: not) answer to the name "Sean Paul". If you see him out and about, please refrain from that knee-jerk reaction to call him Sean Paul. He doesn't even look anything like that other Sean Paul.
So please refer to him only as Sean P (Diddy Combs). This guy should really just invest in a completely different moniker. For a while I used to think The Yongbloodz was comprised of "Young" and his buddy "Bloodz". I had no reason to assume that; I just chose to. That's sort of like when I assumed that Bone, Thugz and Harmony were the three names of the guys in the group. But it's not. There's a whole system within the Bone family and they each have a different first name, almost like the Spice Girls.
Anyway, get it out of your system now. Tonight before you go to bed, say "Sean Paul of The Youngbloodz" three times in the mirror while a-town stompin. Apparently the old Sean Paul will appear and sucker punch you in the gonads (or in the fallopian tubes for any of you ladies willing to risk the lives of your unborn children). Oh, and if you see Sean P, tell him to consider doing the whole "Young" and "Bloodz" switch instead. That would actually make my life a whole lot easier. [Source]

In a recent interview with VH1.com, Jay-Z claims he will actually make a genuine effort to promote and develop Rihanna as an artist; not just for her upcoming album (Good Girl Gone Bad), but for wife. I mean, life. Ya boy Jigga says of his girl Rihanna:
"That's my family right there," he added of his recording artist. "We've all been on this journey of her growth. We was right there. It's a different type of situation. It's not just lending my vocals to a project. It's a project and person I believe in. The album is another chapter in her growth — her third album in 18 months. We've seen her come from being the 'Pon De Replay' girl to having a album be successful to 'S.O.S.' and 'Unfaithful' being #1 hits. It's the growth of an artist that's going to keep on growing."
Ah, yes Jigga. So what you're saying is: it's the growth of the growing that helps growth to grow. Riiiight. I know Jay doesn't sit down and write his ryhmes but writing down a few thoughts before he does an interview would be a nice curveball to throw the readers. It's sad though. It's almost as if he believes that the more he says he's invested in her growth...
Oh whatever. I don't really like to take cheap shots but, Teairra Marie though? He crowned her Princess...
First lady...
She was throwing up the R-O-C every chance she got:
Blah, blah mutha fuckin blah. Then it was like she dissappeared: Poof!
But don't worry (triumphant trumpet sounds). She's fine just fine. She's actually planning on dropping a new single sometime this month. Here's what she had to say on her Myspace page about her recent movements:
Ok! I know I've said this time and time again but the album is coming really soon! I just recently finished recording and had the meeting with the label to see how we are gonna do business on this record. This album is kinda like my debut album because my original debut wasn't well recieved and some poor decisions was made with that record, so I had to make sure that I complete an album worthy of all the praise. I've had more release dates that most artist of their second project but I am now ready. I had to go and take a walk around the offices at Interscope to get a good feel and to know people better. My management Violator is in the greenlight making things happen for me. I am currently working on a film and this is a great experience for me. I am having sooooooooooooo much fun. We are shooting on location in NY and the cast and crew are the best. I love them very much. Well I am not gonna talk you guys to death just wanted to inform all the lovely people in myspace of my upcoming projects. [Source]
Yikes. "Some poor decisions was made..." on her last album? Jay has been reduced to a "poor decision" she made. Like: "Having that extra cheese at dinner was a poor decision". Man, times like this I become empathethic towards Jay... and all his money...that I don't have.
Check out this documentary on Jimmithon Jones the Third. I am haaathing this chick for being in such close proximity to him. That's right: hathing (surprise, surprise). What is about this gentleman that I can not get enough? I suppose, as my friend Mia would say, "he got that SWAgger!" Anyway, in this underground guerilla documentary film, Jimmithon talks politics, hood shit, beef-a-leef et cetera, et cetera. The interviewer is some chick who seems like she's hurtin for a squirtin. Man, I'm jealous.
Oh and towards the end of part one, the chick (who's got some gargantuous breasts, bt-dubs) kept asking "What's your definition of 'what's really hood?'" I swear I wanted to email her a smack across the face. Whatever, man. I'm saying, though: you're in the backseat of a whip with none other than Jimmithon Jones the Third and you're ASKing him what's really hood instead of showing him? Come on. Come up off it.
Part 1:
Part Two has some classic moments both in terms of Jimmithon's vernacular and his whole vibe. Harlem is his city and he seems so at peace taking this young lady through his world. Yeah, um, he was high too. Whatever, he's great.
Okay, so the jury's still out on this, but apparently Cam'ron either punched or was punched by Roc-La-Familia recording artist Tru-Life at a movie premier. Supposed eyewitnesses swear they each know the God honest truth of the matter and report their accounts over at Whatspoppin.net.
Here's an excerpt:
Cam Won! Posted By: alsmoke on Tuesday, May 1st, 2007 "Camron slapped the shit out of that nigga, snatched that colorful gay as Roc chain and threw it back in his face. That dude Tru-Lifes people were just watchin they were scared Cam had like Five of his man's and Tru Life had like 20 puetro rican with him they were shook. The reason being is that Cam 2 man's had there hammer's on them cause one pulled out and one had his hand on his waist the whole time. I cant front you cant do much when niggas smack you and you aint strapped. This nigga Tru-Life was like "I'm sorry, my bad its between me & Jim Jones I aint got No beef with You. " Hes real pussy why did Jay-Z sign this nigga??? Hes horriable he cant even ryme about anything> maybe that why Rocafella aint put his album or even give a date. Maybe Jay Z is re-considering puttin that nigga out."

Tru-Life won! Posted By: Dorian on Tuesday, May 1st, 2007 "CAM GOT PUNCHED IN HIS FACE AND DID NOTHING. TRU YAPPED HIM IN FRONT OF HIS BODYGUARDS AND THERE WAS NO RETALIATION. CAM HAD TEARS IN HIS EYES. THIS IS COMIN' FROM A WITNESS"
I don't have a clip of the altercation, but I do have a clip of Tru-Life discussing his beef with Dipset. He gets pretty heated talking about the fued. You can check it out here.
You can also learn more basic info about Tru-Life and his beefs with peeps here.
For something more lighthearted, enjoy the "Suck it or Not" video posted below. I find it's always a nice way to cap off a long day of reaping the benefits of the feminist movement. Enjoy!
Man, don't you miss BET Uncut more than you thought you would?
Ya boy Tango was in New York last Friday (the city, not the cuntree). He was in the BUILDing at Simple and Sexy Fridays at Strata and Saturday Nite Live at Eugene, looking as heterosexual as ever:
The poor woman behind him was wondering why it smelled like sewage when he walked past. She doesn't even KNOW that scent is what helps him to rank relatively high on the turtle totem pole. Like it or not, Tango is a sex symbol for all the female (and male) turtles out there.
Female Turtles:
Male Turtles: Tango and his buddies, No-kinda and Cash.
Hey, where do you think they hide their half-shells when they go out?
It is rare to find any celebrity (male or female) who exudes realness and positivity without that overwhelming aura of grime hovering around them. There are probably only 5 people like this out there. They are the unhateables. Ms. Marie Harrison bka Mya is the ultimate unhateable and for that, I spotlight her here (applause). Christmas came early, fuck boys!
Here are clips from a recent body-waving performance for GIANT magazine in NYC where she blessed the audience with her latest song "Lock You Down" and one of her classic joints, "The Best of Me". She looks impeccable (damn dat ass) and she sounds great too (dat aaaasss). Check this freaky lil biatch ouuut.
"Lock You Down"
"Best of Me"
This last clip is of Mya in Chicago at a bowling alley with some djs. Although there are no ass shots (aw maan!) she does speak eloquently about why she left the left coast and has headed back east and how much she wants a fam-a-lam, and a normal life, etc. Basically she said what all these silly r&b divas always say, but without an air of my agent said I should say this. Oh yeah: randomly R. Kelly shows up at the bowling alley (I think he heard someone wanted to to a the remix of the clip). Yeeaah. You're welcome.
Now, what do you say to the nice lady who made Christmas come early? Comment, bitches! What? "I know, I know"? Well to quote the great Jimmithon Jones the Third, "If you knew betta, you'd DO betta, fuck boy!"
I shouldn't have to tell you I didn't take any of these pics or videos myself. I shouldn't have to tell you that I find media and link to the source every time. I shouldn't have to tell you thatthis is an entertainment blog, not a newspaper. And I definitely shouln't have to tell that you my tongue is almost always firmly planted in my cheek. So I won't tell you all that. You're a smart cookie. I like cookies.
