Me Against The Music Label

-
Things are never always peachy and keen between artists and record labels. Often times artist and label clash over everything from single choices, image, and more. Well these well publicized beef with record labels can't go unnoticed. Check them out!

Joss Stone
An upset Joss Stone lashed out against label, EMI when they withheld her album, "Colour Me Free". Now with a release date of October 20, it seems the label has come to its senses.

JoJo
JoJo took to the internet, like many stars to express her frustration with Blackground Records for holding up her new album. The singer was very passionate about her album and wanted it to see the light of the day. Hopefully for JoJo we get to hear that album but something tells me we will one way or another.

Mariah Carey
It had been quite a few awkward years spent at Columbia Records, Mariah's former label due to the fact that her ex-husband, Tommy Mottola ran the label. Once Mariah finally got her release, she jumped ship to Virgin[Records]and her situation became even worse. The label paid her a whopping $28 million dollars to leave their label after "Glitter" flopped. Not one to be outdone, Mariah rebounded with 2005's "The Emancipation of Mimi".

Toni Braxton
Classy, elegant, and souful; who'd ever thought Toni Braxton didn't manage her money properly. Toni's mismanagement of her money was the force behind her bitter dispute with LaFace Records. Luckily the singer and label kissed and made up before eventually dropping her. Toni has since moved to Atlantic Records and will release her new album, "Pulse" in February 2010.

Foxy Brown
Foxy Brown was going to keep quiet but couldn't hold her frustrations in when her and former label, Def Jam Records got into a huge dispute over Foxy's image. It was right on the eve of Foxy's shelved album, "Ill Na Na 2: The Fever". According to Foxy, former label head, Lyor Cohen wanted Foxy to change her hair[color] and recreate her image. Foxy was against this though it probably wouldn't of hurt her in the end. But at the same time if you feel someone is in the wrong especially Foxy, she will let your ass know!

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...
