R.I.P. Hey people! I've been away for a few days but not intentionally. I guess I do have a life outside of this blogging thing. :) Sad news in R&B as it was reported a few days ago that Johnny Kemp, 80s singer who sung the song "Just Got Paid" passed away at age 55. In other sad news Ben Powers, who starred on the 70s sitcom "Good Times" died. He was 64 years ago. If the name doesn't register he played Thelma's husband in the later years of the show, by this time James(the father) had died and Janet Jackson was starring as Penny. R.I.H.

"READ" MY LIPS: As expected Drake's new album If Your Reading This Its Too Late has topped the charts selling nearly 500,000 copies. Many people are speculating that the once mixtape, now album was a bid for Drake to inch his way out of his contract with Cash Money a lot faster. What do you think? And what has your verdict been on the album? Well something the verdict is out on is Chris Brown as he and his lady stepped out in furs and PETA came calling and they are not happy with him. Chris' response was 'suck my dick'. Typical Chris Brown reply right? Well I will say let the man wear what he wants to wear or he'll likely kick your ass. Someone who is a close friend to Chris Brown is Trey Songz. The two are currently on the Between The Sheets tour. Trey Songz has announced that he will re release his album Trigga as "Trigga Reloaded". The album will feature the new single Slow Motion and the album will be available in April."Trigga" wa...

BIG SURPRISE: So the big news of the day is that Drake has a released a new album/mixtape titled If You're Reading This Its Too Late. The project which has debuted on iTunes features a Tyga diss on the song 6 PM and Tyga has already responded labeling Drake a "bitch". Now I've only heard a few songs from the new project but I don't have a huge interest in it so I'll likely be skipping it. However I do like Drake's How About Now song! THIS JUST IN: The new Drake project is said to debut atop of next week's chart with 500,000 copies. In other music news, Keyshia Cole says that Prince has influenced her to go independent for her next album. Prince even promised Keyshia a duet. How do you think that will sound? A Prince and Keyshia duet? Hmm. Well as we see independent seems to be the way to go for most artists these days and I'm not mad at it. I'm also not mad at Diddy and Snoop Dogg who brought out a bevy of artists to perform at Madison Square ...
