Vibe Responds To Robin Thicke...
Recently, Vibe issued a statement to Robin Thicke regarding his comments about not being on the cover of the magazine because he is white. They stated:
“We have a great deal of respect for Robin Thicke and his music, and we remain flattered by his desire to be on a VIBE cover. A VIBE cover is a huge milestone in any artist’s career—recent cover stars include Young Jeezy, Mariah Carey, 50 Cent, Usher, Senator Barack Obama, Eminem, Lil Wayne, and Robert De Niro, to say nothing of our 15-year history. We wish Thicke the best, and we’re glad he discusses his thoughts on race and R&B in the new October 2008 issue of VIBE.”So it seems that basically he wasn't on the cover because they did not want to and he is not big enough. Try a little bit harder Robin and they just may grant you your wishes. Haha! Robin is an amazing artist and I respect him for trying to bring that feel good music back, but if Robert De Niro and Eminem have been on the cover then there is no race card at play. Even Gwen Stefani has graced the Vibe cover before....

Throwback Joint-"Ha" by Juvenile
\
Can you believe this song was released about 10 years ago? I can't believe that time has passed like that. Anyway, this song is still hot and is one of my favorite Juvenile songs. This song is also a tribute to the great city of New Orleans....
Ne-Yo Gets Paid!
Ne-Yo is smiling all the way to the bank. Apparently, he just won a lawsuit against the promoter of R. Kelly's "Double Up Tour." Ne-Yo sued the promoter, after he was pulled out of the Double Up Tour." He was supposed to be R. Kelly's supporting act, but was yanked out of the tour because he may have outshined Kellz! Well, Ne-Yo wasn't fooling around when he decided to take the matter to court and came back home with a hefty amount of $700, 320. Ne-Yo claimed damages because he cleared his schedule to make the tour happen, came out of pocket on some things, and passed up some gigs. R. Kelly was not the target of the case, but I bet you anything that he had something to do with Ne-Yo being dropped. I remember hearing about what he did to Joe when he was encouraging his record label not to promote Joe that well. I bet Kellz felt intimidated by Ne-Yo and pulled the plug. Ne-Yo wasn't about to let that happen and walked away from that courtroom smiling! I would have sued to if I lost money..
Will Donnie Klang's Album Fail?
Donnie Klang's album Just A Rolling Stone was released yesterday with minimal promotion. I just barely found out that it was released this morning. I do not think the CD is going to do well and I am really surprised that Diddy didn't promote him more. A few months ago, I pretty much believed that this project would get pushed back a couple of times. His new single "Take You There" is not doing well on the billboard charts. He will be lucky if he sells half of what Day 26 or Danity Kane did. In my opinion, his album is definitely going to tank! What I am really wondering is what Diddy is going to do with him if the album bombs?
Why Can't Janet Jackson Get Good Album Sales?
With the total blunder of Janet Jackson's latest album Discipline, I am sure the superstar is scratching her head. In my opinion, Discipline was one of the better albums that I have heard from her in a long time. But still even with positive reviews on the album, it only managed to sell anywhere from $390,000-400,000 copies, which is unfortunate. LA Reid stated earlier this year that he wanted to revive the careers of Jackson and Mariah Carey. Mariah actually scored a hit album with The Emancipation of Mimi. Her current album E=MC2 is not as good as the first album, but it did hit that coveted platinum mark, which is good. Why can't Janet get the same type of success? Is the public just tired of her music? Some have blamed her man JD since he is the producer. I really do not know how to answer the question that I have asked, but I think that maybe Janet's domination of the charts is behind her. It could have been the superbowl incident that is affecting her album sales. What do you all think? Nonetheless, I really hope that she can rebound from her slump. Right now Discipline is no longer being promoted, but I wonder if she is going to go back to the drawing board for one more try...
