Foxy Brown’s long-awaited LP ‘Brooklyn’s Don Diva’ was released recently. In what has to be some kind of joke, the rapper claims she’s only just heard it:

“Unfortunately, during my incarceration, this CD was compiled without my approval. I heard this CD in its entirety, for the first time, just says ago and was devastated.

In another phase of my life and career, I would have dealt with this situation with litigation, but for the benefit of my fans and in the wake of the profound spiritual cleansing I recently underwent in prison, I made the decision to settle our creative differences amicably.’

Foxy is so confident she can re-up and bring the album back to the level of her previous releases, she promised to ‘deliver the biggest street album in female rap history.” {Source}

Could the lack of interest among the record-buying public be the cause for Foxy’s sudden charge of heart in regard to the album? She’s not fooling anyone if she’s trying to say she didn’t know the album was going to be released. If it’s wack and she just found out, that’s all on her and no one else. SMH…

The video for Michelle Williams’ new single ‘We Break The Dawn’ was supposed to premiere yesterday but has since been delayed. In her latest MySpace blog, the singer spoke on, among other things, the video’s debut as well as strategy for the single:

I don’t think the video will be ready to premiere as posted!!! I thought that I should let you know!! Trust me….I am so ready for it to be out, but at the same time I want it to be perfect for you guys!!!! I know that I’m disappointing many of you out there who have been ANXIOUSLY waiting!!! That’s kinda why I hate when dates are set and made public and then the artist or label decides to change it!!! It’s been a lot of that lately in the industry!!! Hopefully by Monday…..the world will see it!!!

Once again “momma” is sooooooo sorry about this!!!!!

Y’all like that new picture huh?? It shows my mature, “sophisterated” side!! (yeah yeah…before it hits national press….I know the word is SOPHISTICATED!!!) I was the winner of many spelling bee’s back in my day!!! LOL

I want to also address to many people who have concerns about WBTD getting radio airplay……there is a plan for impact at radio….BUT you guys can still request it!!! The politics of the business is what it is!!! I can’t stress it enough but show business is 90% business and 10% show!!!! That’s why you gotta love it to wanna stay and deal with the craziness!!! To whom much is given, much is required!!!

I’m definitely rambling all over the place!! I just wanna make sure that I cover everything!!!

I love, love, love each and every person reading this!!! Thanks for the love and ENCOURAGEMENT!!! I haven’t felt so much love in a lonnnnnnnnnng time and I appreciate ALL of you!!!! Thanks to everyone who purchased my single!!! If I could I’d personally kiss ya!!!! (on the cheek that is!!!!!) I feel that this year is a BIG one!! The number 8 means new beginning….2008 I’m definitely chartering on new territory…..but I need you guys to help me win!!!!

Ummmmmmm what else??? I think I’ll save the rest for my video blog…. but I have yet to figure out how to articulate what I feel!!! I’ll sign off by saying…. ladies ALWAYYYYYYYYYYYS trust your gut!!!!! Do what’s right for the long run!!!!! I still have love for the fellas….I won’t leave you guys out!! Anyhoo……..God Bless You!!!!

Michelle

It’s a shame about the video. Monday is just around the corner, so here’s hoping it debuts then. Random tidbit: you’ve just got to love Michelle’s personality.

Any thoughts?

For all her hollering and ‘church wailing’, I must say that Fantasia ‘brought it’ and then some. Even with the song not really being catered to that audience, she still managed to engage the studio audience. Definitely anticipating the new album. Good stuff.

What do you think of the performance?

The nominations for the 2008 BET Awards were announced yesterday (May 15th).

Review up shortly…

In the meanwhile…
