So the news about BET 106 & Park hosts Terrance J and Rocsi are indeed true. Yesterday the duo announced they would be leaving the show after six years. The rumors started circulating a few weeks back about the impending status of the hosts and the show. I'm sure BET already has their replacements ready to go like they did when Free & AJ were let go.  Azealia Banks just released her 1991 EP on iTunes and the physical release will follow on June 12 I believe. If you were dissatisfied with the only 4 track EP and wanted more songs; never fear an upcoming mixtape Fantasea will be released on July 4. Previously titled Fantastic Azealia has changed the name for unknown reasons.

So the word is that 106 & Park host who has a reputation of sleeping around has hooked up with actor Eddie Murphy. The two have been seen out and about holding hands and driving around in Eddie's Mercedes Benz.  Over the years Rocsi has been linked to actress' LisaRaye McCoy of Single Ladies fame ex-husband, several G-Unit members, and many others according to 50 Cent and Lloyd Banks. The above mentioned artists all on different occasions publicly blasted Rocsi.  In other Rocsi news its been reported that her and her co-host Terrance J are getting the boot from BET. Word is the network is doing some spring cleaning and wants to renew their signature show. This comes on the heels of news that BET's other hit show The Game would return for 5th or 6th season(not sure what season their on) without stars Tia Mowry and Pooch Hall.   J. Cole who is currently on tour with Drake on the Club Paradise tour is currently in the stages of completing his second album....

Good morning everybody! I come to you all on a night where I have not been to sleep. I have been out all night at the casino having big fun and a whole bunch of other crazy drama. Anyway here is some music news for the music news obsessed. Amerie takes to TV. Chrisette Michele upset. Ashanti joins the Major Leagues! It's all here. Read on about it below! Amerie's TV duties! While Rocsi is off on vacation(I suppose), Amerie will step into her shoes and host two episodes(Monday and Tuesday) of BET's "106 & Park". Make sure you check that out. This will also give Amerie a chance to promote her album, "In Love & War" which will be released on August 25. Chrisette Michelle Snubbed? Chrisette Michele is riding high with her new album, "Epiphany" and its albums singles. Now the singer talks exclusively about not receiving her Grammy. Click here to get the full story! Ashanti's Big In A Major Way! Fresh off her turn as Dorothy in "The ...

Video: John Legend Samples New Album Legend gives an exclusive listening party in Hong Kong for his new album, "Evolver" in stores October 28. Music News: Christina Milian Is Back! Click here for more info! Wow! I just read that BET's "106 & Park" is 2 hours now. The show was originally an hour and half. I don'tknow why they extended the show. I think it is a pretty long time to sit and stomach Terrance and Rocsi. I have noticed how we always see Aubrey O'Day of Danity Kane in the spotlight. You also see D. Woods out a lot and usually besides Aubrey. You hardly ever see the girls as a group together. I think that is part of the reason why the breakup rumors run so rampant. I think the group as a whole should be out more because they definitely need more exposure. Wow! In a strange twist of irony, R&B/Hip Hop couple 50 Cent and Ciara will release their perspective albums, "Before I Self Destruct" and "Fantasy Ride" on the same...

Video: Queen Pen dissing Rocsi I must of missed this vid. I read that this was from last week but anywho. Female rapper Queen Pen responsible for hits such as "All My Love" and "Party Ain't A Party" sounds off on her beef with BET's Rocsi. Check it out! Wow! I'm surprised at how much beef Rocsi has accumulated within the industry. That is not a good look for her or BET for that matter. I remember how awkward it was when she had to interview G-Unit after they dogged her out. Audio: Keri Hilson feat Timbaland - Return The Favor I know I haven't posted any audio lately so here you all go. It is the newest leaked song from Keri Hilson. Check it out! I'm not really feeling this song. I know Keri has a huge following online but I'm still not quite sold on her. I will admit the fact that she is a bomb ass songwriter.

No one can stir up controversy quite like 50 Cent. This has worked to his advantage and disadvantage. One, he always has people talking. Secondly a lot of the talk has turned people off in recent years. Despite the negative tones 50 is often associated with, he is still a huge money maker. Forbes magazine recently crowned the rapper as 2007's hugest money maker with a net worth of $150 million dollars. Obviously 50 is doing something right. In response to my recent R&Beef music feed, I turn my attention to 50 Cent and his most famous beefs. It is hard to imagine an artist 50 has not spoken out against. While I could sit here and type endlessly about his beefs I decided to profile only his most well known ones hence the title; 50 Cent's Most Famous Beefs! vs. Mya 50 Cent claimed that he slept with Mya. When word got back to Mya, she casually denied the rumors. However, her response got her major kudos. The singer claimed that 50 got her mixed up with Lloyd Banks. It was an i...
