Azealia in hot water again By now we're all used to the controversial figure that is Azealia Banks. This time people are criticizing the rapper for lightning her skin after various comments she's made in the past. Unfortunately there are many dark skin women who are not comfortable with their looks and a lot of times they feel the need to change their look. I'm not saying that Azealia is not comfortable with her skin color but she has said she wanted to do away with the blemishes and have a more even skin tone. Well it looks like she's accomplished that. In other Azealia Banks news, a demo of a song titled, "Blosson" leaked out which details a lesbian romance. The song was originally set to appear on her "Broke With Expensive Taste" album.  Drake has more reason to celebrate as 2016 has truly been his year. His new album, "Views" has been certified 3x platinum making it the only album so far to be certified with the coveted certific...

Remy Ma has a new song out with Fat Joe and French Montana and Fat Joe's son. The song is called "Cookin" and its from their upcoming album due very soon. I've heard a snippet of the song and its very much in the vein of "All The Way Up" so if you like that, you'll like this. And Eminem has been in the news a lot lately for someone who doesn't have a record out. First it revealed that he plans to come out and dis Drake and now another story has surfaced that Suge Knight wanted Eminem dead! A former bodyguard has recently spoken out saying that there was an incident at the Source Awards in 2001 which led to Suge wanting Em dead. Suge Knight is a big bully! I can't believe this man. Apparently they are looking for a new host to replace Tamar Braxton on "The Real". In the running is Mel B. of the Spice Girls, Ashanti, Monica, and Eve(I believe she is the fourth name I read). I do know Ashanti already spends a lot of time in L.A. which ma...

Azealia Banks says she's quitting all social media! And how many times have we heard her say that? But yet Azealia continues to post on Instagram. Azealia also took time to shut down rumors that she's had ass shots since a picture she posted suggested she did. She says its "exolens"; whatever that is but whatever it is, it made her ass look good. In more interesting news, there's said to be a battle brewing between Drake and Eminem. Apparently New York's Hot 97 radio personality, Ebro says he had a convo with Drake saying he's heard that Eminem plans to dis Drake. Drake says that if it does happen, he's prepared for Eminem. I wonder does that mean his ghostwriter already has a verse in the vault? Drake also spoke on his feud with Joe Budden saying that if he wanted to, he was going to leak a screen shot of a DM(Direct Message) on Instagram of a convo between the two insinuating that Joe has a drug problem. This should be interesting if this does go d...

Nicki Minaj and Eminem are both featured on the remix to The Weeknd's "The Hills" song but on separate tracks. Speaking of Nicki, she spoke out on the beef between Meek and Drake saying "their grown ass men" and "it hurts" cause she loves both of them. Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson went on social media and claimed to have sent nude pictures to Rihanna and says she has yet to respond. I bet she showed her friends the pics. Now she just needs to show us! :) Then again hell Chad might show them himself being the type of person he is. The BET Hip Hop Awards were recorded last night and are set to air on October 15. In attendance were 2 Chainz, Diddy, Lil' Kim, Snoop Dogg, Lil' Scrappy, Bambi, Redman, T-Pain, Big Tigger, Maino, DeJ Loaf, Soulja Boy, Rick Ross and many more. Scarface was presented an award and was arrested shortly thereafter. Not sure about what though. Today marked the 20th anniversary of the Million Man March and many showed...

DATE RAPE: Iggy Azalea is still feeling the heat even as her star continues to climb. Iggy's latest antagonist is Eminem. He raps on a new song titled Vegas where he threatens Iggy with rape. Iggy responded calling Eminem "old" for berating women. If that wasn't enough a fan asked Iggy to hop on a song with Nicki Minaj. Iggy replied saying "after reading the Billboard article I don't think she's a fan of mine". If you missed the Billboard article, it was mentioned that during Nicki Minaj's interview that Iggy's song came on the radio and she had her people cut it off. I guess its safe to say it will be awhile before we hear these two on a song if at all, not that I care to hear either on a record together anyway. If you need your Nicki Minaj fix, she will serve as the musical guest on SNL on December 6 just in time for the December 15 release of her new album The Pink Print . 'HOE' DOWN: Bow Wow is mad at the black community for t...

Solange is said to be getting married this weekend to her longtime boyfriend Alan Ferguson. Nicki Minaj has apologized for her use of Nazi symbolism in the video to her new single Only. Eminem threatens to smack singer Lana Del Ray(song: Video Games ) "twice like Ray Rice" in new song and has ruffled a few feathers in typical Eminem fashion.

Well what do you know! Chris Brown was spotted at Rihanna's Monster tour with Eminem. Chris recently dumped his longtime girlfriend and now he's back in the good graces of Rihanna, well for now anyway. It's only a matter of time though before these two are on the outs again. The same can be said for Rihanna and Drake. 

We know that some of our most famous rappers have big mouths. Not only do they brag about how money they bank but they also like to brag on their dicks. They like to entertain us with scandalous tales of sex with groupies but also famous women. When pushed to the limit, these men will speak out and break whatever code the rapper and said female may of had in the past. It's usually something, in my opinion that offsets the rapper causing them to run their mouth like a leaky faucet but it always makes for good gossip and stories like these. Check out my list of rappers who have famously or not so famously got it on with some of female R&B's elite.   The Game, 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, & Jay Z vs. Mya - The Game "dreamed of fucking a R&B bitch like Mya" and the rapper actually got his wish. Not only did Mya appear in the video but the two were said to have hooked up. Mya denied the claims but I'm pretty sure it went down. To add insult to injury, 50 Ce...

Chal is serving the TEA! Hey y'all! It looks like Rihanna and Eminem are joining forces again, this time on tour!

There is a story going around that Ciara is pregnant with Future's child according to one of Future's baby mother's who have met Ciara. If you remember Ciara posted a picture on her Instagram account with all of Future's baby mama's. Looks like she might be joining the Future Baby Mama's club. Though Ciara has yet to publicly confirm the news. People are having a field day trying to determine if she's really with child or not. Anywho...R&B's Pied Piper is racking up as his new album Black Panties is looking to have a healthy first week of 100K copies, that's good in R&B music terms. The new album features the singles My Story featuring 2 Chainz and Cookie (the explicit video debuted today). R. Kelly has been making the rounds on several talk shows including The View and Arsenio. Nothing against R. Kelly personally but I think he is overdoing it with the sex thing this time around. I just feel like he is trying to outsex some of his male cou...

I swear after you've done so many blogs, you forget some of the things you've blogged about over the years. Even if you go through the vaults and look to see if you talked about this or that, it still remains to be seen. Well anyhoo if I have done a blog like this in the past my apologies. Nothing wrong with doing an update of sorts right? Well fresh off the heels of Gucci Mane's recent Twitter rant, I have compiled a list of rappers who have notoriously called out female singers over claims of sexual relations. Of course all women involved denied the allegations. It makes you think though. Were the men really telling the truth or simply lying on their d!ck? 2Pac & Faith Evans I start with one of the most notorious allegations which was started by 2 Pac when he insinuated that he slept with Faith Evans. At the time Faith Evans was married to Notorious B.I.G, 2 Pac's nemesis. Of course Faith denied the allegations even though there were pictures of the two. To this d...

Big Sean recently hit the studio with Eminem. The collaboration may end up on Big Sean's upcoming album Hall Of Fame or Eminem's upcoming album. Nothing has been determined yet but Big Sean refers to the collaboration as a "Detroit Classic". Besides Eminem Big Sean collaborated with the likes of Miguel and Nas for his new album which currently has no release date. While we are on the subject or Rap...Lil' Kim found herself in a car accident. The rapper is currently donning a neck brace that she has to wear for a week and a half. She assured fans via Twitter that she is "fine". Get better Kimmy!

Hey everyone. I have some news for you all regarding new music from Kelly Rowland, Eminem, and Dr. Dre. #andinthatorder Kelly Rowland is putting the finishing touches on her new album Talk A Good Game . The album has no release date but it has produced the hit singles Ice featuring Lil' Wayne and Kisses Down Low . Recently the singer has logged studio time with Pharrell Williams and Wiz Khalifa(who gushed about the collaboration on Twitter). Based on the little we know about Kelly's new album I expect it to be pretty solid. Speaking of new albums word is that Eminem is nearing completion on his next album according to Dr. Dre. The rapper/producer recently spoke out about Eminem and also revealed that he(Dr. Dre) is back in the studio. Dr. Dre's long awaited Detox album never saw the light of day(for whatever reasons). He did however release a slew of hit singles from the album including Kush and I Need A Doctor .

Some music news for you all...Big Sean is set to feature Eminem on his upcoming album Hall Of Fame. Azealia Banks will release her new single Yung Rapunxel on February 12. Lil' Mama is set to portray Left Eye in upcoming TLC biopic airing on VH1. Chris Brown involved in car crash!

Find out about his new Eminem collaboration below: Detox may still not have a release date, but that’s not stopping Dr. Dre from pumping out the singles.

I saw the video and I don't think it's that serious, I mean really I've seen worse things. But whatever. I never really understand what constitutes a network to ban a video anyway. I mean most reasons they list for banning a video are usually pretty stupid anyway. Like when BET banned Ciara's "Ride" video, that was the dumbest thing ever. It's not like this will hurt Rihanna by any means. This just makes people want to see the video even more. Read more about Rihanna's new racy video as well as stories on Eminem's wedding gift to Elton John and Juelz Santana's bout with drug charges. She may be bad, but Rihanna 's apparently a little too perfectly good at it. The singer's newfound "bad girl" image has recently gotten her into a bit of trouble, as a growing number of countries have banned her racy new video for her song "S&M," and two major media outlets are taking its content into serious consideration. Accor...

So if you haven't heard Nicki Minaj's song; "Roman's Revenge" with Eminem; you've been hiding under a rock. It's just one of the many highlights we can expect on Nicki's forthcoming debut album; "Pink Friday" in stores and online November 22. Music Biz: Marques Houston Files Restraining Order Against Raz B! R&B singer Marques Houston was granted a restraining order on Wednesday against DeMario Thornton, aka Raz-B, citing he “falsely accused me of molesting him,” RadarOnline.com has learned. “About three weeks ago, DeMario Thornton, aka Raz B, released a video recording via the internet of a conversation that we had…DeMario is screaming at me…he has a deranged demeanor and is not acting like a reasonable person,” Houston wrote in the paperwork. “After I hung up on DeMario, he continued recording himself and falsely accused me of molesting him.” The restraining order was signed off by a judge at a Van Nuys, California courthouse with...

The latest word in the never ending "American Idol" saga is that Justin Timberlake was replacing Simon Cowell. Justin Timberlake's publicist has come forward and denied the claims. Instead Timberlake is busy with his film career. I take it he's not working on any new music? So many people have been mentioned to take over Simon's spot on "Idol" but I just heard yesterday on "Showbiz Tonight" that the entire judging panel may be replaced. Now that would be something! Anything to get those ratings back up huh? This Just In: Ellen Degeneres is leaving the show! I see she got smart and jumped ship before she got her walking papers. I preferred Ellen on her talk show anyway! Rick Ross' new album, "Teflon Don" proved to be no match for Eminem's "Recovery" album. The new Rick Ross album debuts at #2 on the Billboard 200 this week with 178K units. It is his second hugest first week sales. All of Ross' prior three albums a...

Eminem's new album; "Recovery" debuts at #1 this week with sales of over 741K units! It is the highest first week sales this year. It also tops the first week sales of last years; "Relapse". Where Eminem feels he might of fallen off(with "Relapse"); he has definitely rebounded rather fast. Obviously Eminem has a lot to celebrate right now and with good reason. Eminem is one of the few artists to gather a lot of anticipation when he releases a new album. It is that winning formula that has been instilled in Eminem. It is responsible for six straight albums to all debut at #1. Recently Eminem topped the charts with his single; "Not Afraid" and now his new single; "Love The Way You Lie" featuring Rihanna debuted at #2 this week. Eminem obviously shows no signs of slowing down and continues to thrive when others have fallen off. ---------------- Now playing: Robin Thicke - Rollacoasta (featuring Estelle) via FoxyTunes
