Part 3
Your thoughts?
Despite the poor performance of the singles released from his ‘Curtis’ album so far, 50 Cent remains confident of his chances of coming out on top in his chart battle with Kanye West. Speaking with San Diego’s 93.3 radio station yesterday (August 30th), he said:
“Its not possible for Kanye to beat me, I don’t know why I said that. Its like the teddy bear vs. the gorilla. Def Jam [West’s label] is going to buy about 200,000 of Kanye’s records. Kanye sucks, I’m going to be honest, he sounds like a robot, he has a robot record.”
Their albums need to hurry up and drop already; it’s gonna be a interesting to see 50 justify his losing (which seems inevitable now). We all know he won’t stay true to his word and retire if Kanye tops him (one can only dream), but he’ll be more of a joke than he already is.
What do you think of 50’s comments?
A, somewhat, bitter Irv Gotti spoke out on Ashanti in an interview with Wendy Williams yesterday (August 30th). The INC president admitted to having an affair with the ‘Only U’ singer…while he was still married. He went on to make sly comments about Ashanti’s now-shelved new single ‘Switch’. Gotti’s outburst seems to stem from his belief that the singer was ‘disloyal’ during the label’s much publicised legal woes a few years back.
Rihanna recently shot the video for ‘Hate That I Love You’ (ft. Ne-Yo), the fourth single from her ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’ album in Santa Monica, California. I can understand why the label rushed through releasing her past CD’s, but the rate she’s dropping singles and videos now is a joke; and it’s kinda showing too – ‘Shut Up & Drive’, the album’s 2nd single, has stalled on the charts. Anyway, be on the lookout for the Anthony Mandler directed video in the coming weeks.
According to Hits Daily Double, the video for Kelly Rowland’s long-awaited (and much needed) new single ‘Ghetto’ (ft. Snoop Dogg) will debut on September 10th on BET’s 106 & Park. Be sure to check it out. {Source}The video for Chris Brown’s new single ‘Kiss Kiss’ debuted today on BET’s 106 & Park. I’m guessing the fact that I’m not a fan of the song is hindering me from liking the otherwise decent video. Still, Chris delivers with the choreography (as usual) and it definitely trumps the mess that was the ‘Wall to Wall’ video.
What do you think of the video?
I know you don’t usually see Britney Spears around these sides and neither do I have a particular interest in her music, yet it’s evident her ‘comeback’ is an event in itself. Two new tracks from her forthcoming album have surfaced today; first single ‘Gimme More’ and ‘Cold As Fire’ (written by T-Pain).Keyshia Cole performed her smash hit ‘Let It Go’ on Yahoo’s Pepsi Smash recently. She has really stepped it up with the live performances as of late and I thought she did pretty good here – although the choreography was kinda ‘amerteurish’. Still, it’s her voice that she’s loved for, so it’s all good.
In other Keyshia news, ‘Let It Go’ is currently the #1 most played track on US radio. The video for the track also occupies the top spot on BET’s 106 & Park.

Following the controversy surrounding his comments on black women, producer Polow Da Don has has spoken out – again justifying his comments:
AllHipHop.com: So do you stand by your statements?
Polow Da Don: Oh definitely. It has nothing to do with me, these effects. I didn’t make this stuff up. Only thing where people got misled is that I said I prefer a White woman, and that’s not the case at all. Really, I date all types of women. It was a stage in my life when I started dating a lot of White women- that was just a stage in my life. Right now, I date girls I like. I don’t base it off of any shade or color when I meet a girl now. They linked my comments about the Black family and Black women with the “King of the White Girls” and [the fact that] I dated White girls. That’s where it all went wrong. So when I was comparing Black women to White women, that has zero to do with me dating White women. What I was saying was factual though. Ladies and gentlemen agreed, n****s and b******s got mad.

Talk about pouring fuel on fire…
A host of stars came out to celebrate with Jermaine Dupri at the opening of his new nightclub, Studio 72, in Atlanta last night. Celebs in attendance included Usher and wife Tameka Foster, Nelly, Monica and T-Boz. As expected Dupri’s girlfriend, Janet Jackson (who was looking on-point), accompanied the hit-maker to the event.
Soulja Boy stopped by BET’s 106 & Park earlier this week to perform his smash hit ‘Crank That’. I liked the performance, though he must be one of the first rapper’s I’ve seen use a backing track…it’s all good though. Though some of our international visitors may not know who he is, they will do soon. ‘Crank That’ as well the dance that goes along with it have taken the US by storm; where the song currently sits at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and is still rising.
