Trick or Trina Trina and Trick Daddy are planning a joint album together to be released through Slip-N-Slide/Atlantic Records. The album is slated to be released by year's end. Meanwhile Trina's new album is slated to be released next month. She is shooting a video for her new single featuring K. Michelle.  "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" premiered tonight and the premiere episode was pretty explosive. Rasheeda's husband, Kirk was accused of fathering a baby by a woman named Jazmine. Yung Joc and Karlie Redd are back together. Joseline is six months pregnant and hasn't spoken to Stevie J. Tommie has been trying to stay out of jail and out of trouble period.

A lot going on in the music world, which is good I guess, since it gives me news to report and comment on. First up, is the beef between 50 Cent and Meek Mill. If Meek thought he couldn't keep up with Drake, 50 Cent is in a totally different category. It all started when Meek threw a dis at 50 Cent on his new EP. In typical 50 Cent fashion, he responded with a slew of insults on Instagram. He clowned Meek for his career being over to him simply needing to get Nicki(Minaj) pregnant so he can collect child support. This is getting nasty real quick and its really all entertainment. 50 Cent: 1 Meek: 0 One feud that has been patched up for the time being is that between Birdman and Lil' Wayne. If you recall the two had been embroiled in a nasty lawsuit. Wayne accused Birdman of withholding money and things just got nasty from then on out. It forced Lil' Wayne to release several mixtapes to keep his fans happy as "The Carter 6" was held up indefinitely. And who could ...

One of the featured artists on the new project will be Trey Songz, who exclusively discloses to Rap-Up.com that he recorded a remix to one of Memoirs' cuts last month. "Mariah Carey, I believe she's doing a remix album and I'm on a record entitled 'Inseparable,'" he shares. Trey put everything aside once he got the call. "I actually only had a day to do it. I did it on my day off. [They were] very professional, very adamant on wanting to get it done. They made sure we had all we needed. I just went in and got it done." "Inseparable" is one of my favorite songs on the album so I hope remix is just as effective if not better....

Beyonce struts her stuff on the cover of her newest DVD, "Above And Beyonce" in stores June 16. A previous post of mine gives a little more detailed info about the DVD.

Hello all! I bring to you another 'music feed'. I truly love doing these. Sometimes though its hard for me to come up with a topic to discuss. Well I finally came up with a topic worth discussing. The fact whether a star is gay or not is always a big topic. Some people say who cares but those are the ones who care just as much. No I don't care about an artist's sexuality. I mean at the end of the day I only care about their music. Since I'm a self-proclaimed music addict, it doesn't matter but its always interesting to inquire or wonder. The aforementioned artists below have been hit with the gay rumors. Now whether or not they are truly gay remains a mystery. Below you will find out exactly how and why these the gay rumors started! Enjoy! Ne-Yo The gay rumors started when an old video leaked out of Ne-Yo sporting an orange wig during a performance at the Apollo Theater. At the time Ne-Yo's stage name was 'Go-Go'. That says a lot huh? Ne-Yo has denie...

For those of you who are unfamiliar with some of the things I do here at this blog, let me take a few minutes to inform you. At the top of each month I do a retrospective involving past events from the previous month. I do it because its nice to look back and see what was going on at a certain time in our lives. I have compiled a list of several people that TRULY had us talking all month long. Check it out! Ice-T It's been quite awhile[exactly almost 2 decades ago]since Ice-T had people in such an uproar. The rap legend[if you dare call him that]spoke out against rappers Lil' Mama and Soulja Boi. The rapper expressed his disdain against the new rap acts ruining Hip Hop. Ice's comments even forced loudmouth Kanye West to speak out siding with Soulja Boi. Jesse Jackson Could Jesse Jackson be jealous of the first black Democratic nominee Barack Obama? During an interview Jackson angrily whispered that he "wanted to cut his[Barack]n*ts off". Jackson's comments la...
