The Game appeared on "The Breakfast Club" last week and said things between him and Young Thug were patched up. He said things got "real", though he didn't elaborate on what that meant. Young Thug soon shot back with a FaceTime video of The Game apologizing to him for coming at him in defense of Lil' Wayne. Young Thug also had some harsh words for The Game and "The Breakfast Club" host Charlemagne the God. Young Thug took things one step further by posting old pics of The Game when he was a stripper. It's funny because I forgot about Game being a stripper. Didn't you? Speaking of strippers, Sisqo is suing over royalties he has yet to receive for his hit song, "Thong Song" as well as other songs. He claims he is owed $600,000 dollars. I say pay the man his money because he's probably out here looking bummy. Maybe he should do "Dancing With The Stars" next season. That's of course if they ask him. Or maybe he...

Remember last year when Danity Kane announced they were reuniting? All five fans rejoiced when the now trio released their hit single Lemonade featuring Tyga. Shortly after the release of Lemonade , Danity Kane had some inner group squabbles which resulted in a fight between Dawn Richard and Aubrey O'Day in a recording studio. Danity Kane later released their DK3 (I think that's the name of it) album to little fanfare. If that wasn't enough original member Aundrea previously reunited with the group but for some reason dropped out. I'm not really sure why but I remember people saying she couldn't keep up with the footwork on tour and she was probably tired of all the arguing going on within the group again. And just two months ago Jodeci reunited after 20 said years to perform a bevy of their hits on the Soul Train Awar ds. Everyone was delighted to see the group reunite but not particularly delighted when it was clear that lead singer K-Ci was lip syncing the ...

I remember I was a freshman in high school when this came; if I'm not mistaken and everyone was crazy about DMX . Its funny how times have changed and how downhill DMX has gone in recent years due to his personal troubles. ---------------- Now playing: Musiq Soulchild - Anything (Feat Swizz Beatz ) via FoxyTunes

You all are probably wondering how random it is of me to be talking about Mya. After all we haven't heard much from her musically in awhile. She does however have an album coming out overseas next month called; "K.I.S.S."; I believe. I was online looking up some info to report when I came across a picture of Mya and Terrance J of BET's "106 & Park". The two simply took a picture together at a recent party they both attended. Nowadays that's all it takes is for two celebrities to have a picture together and rumors starts. Especially when the picture is with someone who has a reputation(in my opinion) for being promiscuous. I know every once in awhile I hear Mya being linked to some guy. I mean that happens to any celebrity but its always been noted that she got around in the industry. At one point; it was rumored that she was writing a tell all but she quickly denied the claims. She did hint at writing some type of book though but I'm not sure if ...

I still remember when this first came out and how hot it was then and how hot it still is to this day. "It's All About Me" was the debut single from Mya's self-titled debut album released in 1998. ---------------- Now playing: Mariah Carey - One Child via FoxyTunes

It's been awhile since we heard from Sisqo and if we have, I sure haven't heard anything. I know for awhile he was appearing on a few reality shows on VH1 and CMT. Before all that Sisqo broke free of Dru Hill and set out for a semi successful solo career with this debut album, 'Unleash The Dragon'. The album was led by the hit single, 'Thong Song' which became a phenomenon in itself. It really catapulted Sisqo to superstar status. This album brings back a lot of memories for me personally. I just remember me and my best friend at the time always listening to this. I remember him having a copy of the album first and I eventually got one. Those were good times. There is nothing like the good old days. One of my favorite songs was the steamy ballad, 'How Can I Love U 2Nite'. I also liked 'So Sexual' and 'Addicted'. If you don't remember this album, YouTube it, buy it, or dare I say...download it; on iTunes! Check out a few of the songs f...

Eminem's long awaited album, "Relapse" will be in stores May 19. The album is led by the single, "Crack A Bottle". The album cover(above) is similiar to T.I.'s recently released, "Paper Trail" album. Princess of Crime Mob will release her debut solo single, "Dirty Pop". Check out the single cover(above). It is the lead single from her upcoming Warner Bros. debut. Music Biz: Mario has pulled a Cassie by shaving his head. Click here to check out the shocking pictures! Sisqo has been pretty quiet lately. I remember Dru Hill supposedly reuniting but I'm not sure what happened with that. Anyway a new song from Sisqo has leaked called, "Already Know". Produced by Bryan(I never know if its a 'y' or 'i' in his name) Cox. Click here to hear the audio! Ciara's songs keep a leaking like a leaky faucet. Her latest song, "Like A Surgeon" which is an Aaliyah teas(reminds you of Aaliyah) appears on her new al...

Hello all! A song popped up in my head earlier and I wanted to post it on here. Unfortunately there were no embed links for me to post it. Anyway I decided to post Mya's debut single, "It's All About Me" featuring Sisqo. It was exactly 10 years ago when Ms. Mya hit the scene with this R&B gem. The song samples the Art Of Noise classic, "Moments In Love". The chemistry between Mya and Sisqo ultimately led many to believe they were dating. It was the first of a long line of men that Mya would ultimately be linked to. Check out the vid!

Beef is a slang that has become associated with feuds between musicians. The word was very synonymous in Hip Hop circles at one time. Nowadays the "B" in R&B now means "beef" and not "blues". Well in some cases but not many. Anyway I did a post like this awhile ago. This new list I conjured up takes a look at recent beefs in recent years. All the info is to the best of my knowledge. Check it out! Joe vs. R. Kelly While promoting new album, "New Man", Joe claimed that R Kelly stifled his once budding career. Joe has never been a huge seller like R. Kelly but his former labelmate was out to get him. Ironically R Kelly produced Joe's hit single, "More & More". Keyshia Cole vs. Mya Mya was allegedly upset when Keyshia Cole(who was close friends with Mya) was a guest vocalist on Game's "Hold You Down" song. In the song Game pokes fun(or truthfully speaks) on his sexual relationship with Mya. If you recall Game menti...
