Bow Wow Shakes Nelly with That Crossover!
Ahhhh Nelly! How you gonna let Bow Wow school you like that???!!! I am surprised Nelly didn't twist his ankle or that his shoes didn't go flying off into the stands and hit someone in the head! Haha! Now that really would have been funny! They were both playing the So So Def 2008 Celebrity Basketball Game.
Jazmine Sullivan Is Bad!!!
Here's Jaz performing on BET's 106 & Park. Her video is number one on the show for the first time. I am so excited about her album! This girl can sang! She sounds just as good live as she does recorded. I think just about everybody is excited about her....
What was Rihanna Thinkin'?
I am usually diggin' RiRi's sense of style, but did she have to take it there with those shoes??? She lost me with those!!!!???

Video Premiere-"Miss Independent" by Ne-Yo
This video is filled with guests from the likes of Trey Songz, Lauren London, Gabrielle Union, and Keri Hilson. I like the song and I like the choreography in the video. I guess Ne-Yo is going to wear that same gray suit in all of his videos. Haha!! He could've at least wore a different suit for this vid! Haha!
Video Premiere-"Sanctuary" by Terrance Howard
Uh.....I don't know what to say about this one....It's cool he can play the guitar though, but.....Let me know what you think.
These guys are heated but good points.. Kanye West really is the last artist I can think of that was successfully ushered in the game by someone else.
The young people of today's generation don't "empower" young artists like the legendary La Reid and Babyface's (who empowered everyone in atlanta in the 90's and early 2000).. The new generations aren't ushering the new "them in.." Rather, they are making the artists make it themselves within the media and then they jump on with them. La's generation, R. Simmons etc. was the last generation of execs to empower people with out the fear of those they empower taking their spot. Great business men and people with strong networks seem to empower others and see the bigger picture over being afraid or egotistical. If you look at the history of Atlanta Ga as a popular music "mecca" of talent, you can trace the mainstream musical exposure back to a very small group of people. La Reid was responsible for most of the city and there were a few others that also made great impact. La Reid brought talent from the south to the mainstream and helped change the sound of music forever. He is responsible for giving a shot to such artists as Outkast, TLC, etc. And then you had in house publishing companies like noontime that was catered to music publishing and making money of off producers. Now, if you are younger it is a different place in the A. Most of the people signing artists, or producers around town are so busy being artists, or producers, or writers, that they can't fully empower the younger generation like Russel Simmons could or La could... Check out this video about the state of the industry... interesting conversation
Bow Wow Challenges the Game!
Bow Wow has challenged The Game to a match of Madden NFL '09. The winner gets a payoff of $100,000. The Game's album comes out August 26th so I am sure they are doing this for some media exposure. Who do ya'll think is going to win?
Throwback Joint-"Twisted" by Keith Sweat
To me this song is a classic! This is another song that I loved back in High School. "Twisted" came out in 1996 and I was just about to be in the 9th or 10h grade I think. Ahhhhh!!! I can't even remember. Haha! But anyway, I used to listen to this song over and over. The CD was hot too! I could listen to the CD all the way through. My family members were always playing Keith Sweat. He is still doing his thing too. He just released an album earlier this year. Enjoy the flashback video and leave some comments on the song!
