The Daily Roundup: Jay Z Does It Again

-


So another one bites the dust. Philly rapper Peedi Peedi aka Peedi Crack (who guest starred on Neyo's "Stay") has been dropped from Roc-a-fella! You would think being dropped would have an artist feeling down but now in Peedi's case. The rapper is actually ecstatic and I don't blame him. Roc-a-fella, J Records, and Bad Boy Records are three labels (I would avoid) artists should avoid. Why? Well it is a long story but aside from little or no promotion from the perspective labels, the CEO's (for Bad Boy/Roc) are artists as well. Peedi being dropped from the Roc comes on the heels of rappers Freeway and Beanie Sigel being dissatisfied with Jay Z, the Roc, and Def Jam.

Controversial rapper Kanye West is ready to embark on his "Glow In The Dark" tour. Along for the ride will be Rihanna, N.E.R.D., and Lupe Fiasco. Look out for the concert dates very soon. I know Kanye wilds out at awards shows (before an audience). I wonder does he wild out in concert as well. I haven't seen him live so I can only imagine.

Look for sultry R&B star Toni Braxton to release a new album this summer. I'm looking forward to a new Toni album. I think Toni is pretty consistent. I like each of her albums obviously some more than others but she never disappoints me. There have been rumors of Toni signing to J Records but I'm not sure if it is true at presstime.




News Tidbits: Mariah Carey has changed her first single from "That Chick" to "Touch My Body". The song is produced by current hot producers The Dream & Tricky Stewart. The song is set to premiere Feb 5 but there is a chance it may leak earlier. Stay tuned!

Ashanti is still forging ahead with current single, "The Way I Love You" despite her album, "The Declaration" getting pushed back until June 3. The video for the first single will be shot on Feb 7 in an undisclosed location according to the singers official MySpace page. Go Shani!

Rapper AZ best known for his ties to the super rap group The Firm (and hit single, "Sugar Hill" featuring radio shock jock Miss Jones) will release a new album, "Undeniable" on April 1. His Koch debut will feature guest appearances from Ray J and Styles P.

Can't get enough of Diddy and his self-absorbed self on MTV's "Making The Band"? Well click here to learn about his latest reality TV show endeavor (this time with VH1) regarding a search for a future assistant.

You all, my readers, my visitors; my supporters; you have made this post one of the most successful posts on my blog. I kept wondering what it was about this post, that made it so successful; one word: JANET! The fact that Janet has new music on the way makes this post even more of a hot topic. As its been said before, no one sings about sex quite like Janet Jackson. Her songs, ooze with the right amount of sexuality perfect for a night of steamy sex. Take a look back at a number of songs Janet is responsible for delivering her in trademark breathy delivery. I took the liberty of adding a few other songs that didn't make the list before.  "Warmth" This song begins with echos of Janet saying "...in my mouth". By then you should already know what this song is about. Janet sings about the "warmth" of her mouth and how she pleases her lover; Jermaine Dupri at the time. This is a very sensual song and it is one of the most explicit Janet has ever record
