Twista Releases Statement On McDonald’s Controversy 2007-08-01 21:37:46 Chicago rapper Twista was suppose to perform August 7 but was dropped by McDonald’s due to “controversial lyrics”. Twista had this to say: “I am very disappointed by McDonald’s decision to cancel my participation in the McDonald’s Live Tour. Being that McDonald’s and I have worked together in the past, it was unsettling that I would be removed from the tour after undergoing the planning process and receiving assurances from McDonald’s on multiple occasions that I would appear on the tour. The recent trend of finger-pointing, and playing the blame game with certain media outlets and certain individuals needs to stop. We live in a society that advocates free speech. You want free speech? You want to claim this land as the land of the free? Then our country’s symbol has to be one of its citizens exercising their right to stand up and shout at the top of their lungs using words and telling stories that capture the reality of their day ...

DMX Ordered To Pay $242K 2007-08-01 03:19:53 A court ruling has taken a bite out of rap star DMX for failing to fulfill a contract to promote a dog clothing line including caps, scarves, raincoats and bomber jackets for the snarly set. DMX, who’s also known as Pit Bull but whose real name is Earl Simmons, was ordered to pay a $242,000 judgment to Amusing Diversions Inc., a company that produced and marketed the canine clothing line, named for Simmons’ own dog, Boomer 129. “DMX, it appears, is known for his growl and bark and is called Pit Bull (which according to the evidence … he has tattooed on his back),” noted Manhattan state Supreme Court Justice Jane Goodman’s ruling, which was announced Tuesday. The business relationship got off to a good start but turned sour after the rapper failed to promote the merchandise on television, at concerts and at other public events as called for by the contract and even publicized competitors, causing substantial damages to the plaintiff, the court sa ...

Wu Tang Clan - 8 Diagrams EPK 2007-08-01 02:05:15 The album is supposed to be released October 23, 2007 and it’s first single is rumored to be called “Watch Your Mouth”. Shit, I cant wait it’s about damn time the Wu come back instead of doing those pointless ass remix records. ...

Wyclef Speaks On Lauryn Hill And The Fugees 2007-07-31 20:34:09 In the new Scratch Magazine Wyclef speaks on the situation with the Fugees, specifically Lauryn Hill. In the past they only said that due to creative differences they couldnt work together but now Wyclef is getting specific. What’s going on with the Fugees reunion, or lack there of? WYCLEF: I’m officially Paul McCartney from the Beatles now. If the Fugees wanna come back, and Lauryn wanna come back…you can’t break the format. Don’t come back and be like, “I wanna produce a beat.” That’s like me saying I wanna sing an R&B vocal. When we was working on the album, I was like, [to Lauryn], “You need to do this like this.” [And] she says, “How do you know what’s relevant? I haven’t heard anything from you in the past like three, four years?” The minute she said that I was like, I gotta go back to working. So what’s ultimately holding you guys back? Lauryn is straight up the problem, bro. She wants to be a producer. Don’t come telling us how to chop up b ...

New Music Reviews 2007-07-31 06:16:05 Camp Lo Ft. Ski- 82 Afros New Camp Lo! After a five year hiatus (not including their mixtapes) their back! No lie yall they haven’t lost a step I was tripping on their last album but with Ski producing Black Hollywood you can’t go wrong. Classic Camp Lo flow and beat, the swagger on this joint is just insane. Easily one of my favorite tracks off their album and the shit is just crazy refreshing, a well needed break from the club shit. Yung Berg Ft. Twista - Where Do We Go By now most of yall probably heard the track “Sexy Lady” on the radio and if you’re anything like me you hated the shit. When I heard Yung Berg on Shawnna’s Block Music I was anticipating “the prince of chi town” dropping a record, I knew he had some crazy shit. This has to be one of my favorite tracks this year, Twista sounds like he’s back to his Adrenaline Rush days. Ja Rule Ft. Range - Wait Until Tonight Ja Rule’s back at it with the R&B shit ...

Eddie Murphy and Tracy Edmonds Engaged 2007-07-31 02:07:18 Whew Tracy Edmonds is a dime piece good going Eddy, now, I don’t know how long it’ll last but shit she look good so I doubt he’s tripping. And from what has been reported the gigantic canary diamond he put on her finger would make Michael Jackson turn black again. I do have to say that Tracy Edmonds is a big upgrade from Scary Spice so power to you brotha. And yall thought Eddie was homosexual, he just shitted on that allegation. ...

Aubert 2007-07-30 04:07:00 Damn, damn, damn now this right here is a fine ass woman yall probably know her best as Donna from Friday After Next and Giselle from Soul Plane.

I don’t even know what else to say the picture’s speak for themselves, let me leave you with this tidbit, she’s known as the “black Angelina Jolie” so you know she got some crazy lips on her! Anyways without further adieu K.D. Aubert (after the jump). (more…) ...
