From The Vault: Lil Kim, Left Eye, Angie Martinez, Da Brat & Missy Elliott – ‘Ladies Night’

This week’s classic From The Vault video is Lil’ Kim et al’s 1997 remake of ‘Ladies Night’. Lifted from the movie soundtrack to ‘Nothing to Lose’, the Missy Elliott produced cut and its accompanying video remain etched history as one of the most potent displays of female Hip-Hop unity we’ve seen to date. What’s more, their take on the already classic number packed such a punch that it still goes hard to date. Ladies, we salute you..

Beyonce & Jay-Z To Finally Tie The Knot?

PEOPLE.com are reporting that Beyonce and long-time boyfriend Jay-Z have taken out a marriage licence in Scarsdale, New York. Could it be wedding bells for music’s most-talked about couple?

According to a source, the pair took out a license on Tuesday morning. The document is valid for 60 days.

A rep for Beyoncé told PEOPLE, “No comment.” Jay-Z’s spokesperson could not be reached for comment.

I’d be surprised if this latest claim was actually true. After all, if I’m counting right, they’ve ‘reportedly’ tied the knot 20 times already. Saying that, after six years of dating, this wouldn’t be too far fetched either.

Remembering Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes

Today marks the 5th anniversary of the death of TLC member Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes. The much loved performer died in a sudden car crash in Honduras in 2002. I don’t know why, but I still find it hard to believe that she has gone. When a TLC video comes on TV, for some reason, I don’t look at it any different. It’s only when I really thought about it that I realised why it doesn’t feel like Lisa has gone: she hasn’t. Her vibrant spirit and the gift of music she shared with us all will live on; they cannot be extinguished.

Rest In Peace Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes

1971 – 2002
