Jay-Z's New Song 'When the Money Goes' Leaked







Jay-Z's new single titled 'When the Money Goes' has hit the web, asking his lover to stay true to him when the hard time comes in.

A new track entitled "When the Money Goes" from Jay-Z has made its way out. Up to date, there hasn't any statement whether the single is recorded for his upcoming eleventh studio album "The Blueprint 3" or crafted for another project.

"I ain't asking you to do a life bid with me/ I don't want you to die for me, baby, live with me," Jay-Z raps in the song. "I'm just saying when the going gets rough, don't forget all the shine at the time when I was showing up/ Show me the same love you showed me when I was blowing up/ You told me it was Roc for life, throw it up."

In working on "Blueprint 3", Jay-Z reveals to MTV that he will take his time to make out-of-the-box music. "I wanna make it beyond and above. I'm gonna take my time with it. ... I think I need some restrictions. 'Cause if I had restrictions, I would have done it in three weeks. I would have made what I believe to be a great piece of art," so he says.

Jay-Z's new album is expected to arrive sometime in February. T.I., Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, Nas, Andre Benjamin a.k.a Andre 3000, Santogold and Tony Williams will serve as featured guests in the record.

My President is Black!!!!!!!!


I cannot find the right words to express how I feel on this beautiful day in history. The first black president of the United States of America took his oath on this afternoon. I am so proud to be a black man right now. This is a footprint in history that can never be erased and to be apart of it makes it all the better. We as a people now must move forward and take care of business. Let's not just make this an occasion of celebration but an occasion for change. LET'S GET TO WORK PEOPLE!!!!!!!

After her infamous pics in Complex magazine...I knew that Hef would be knocking on her door next!




"The spread is shot and we are less than a month away from seeing what Aubrey O'Day did for Playboy magazine. I can't even imagine how uninhibited she was. We all see how she is just going to a party - forget about what it's going to be like under the Playboy umbrella!

"I'm honored to be a part of the Playboy legacy and look forward to my March cover hitting newsstands on February 13."

Right in time for Valentine's Day!! How perfect." Celebitchy.com


Aubrey ain't going down without a fight! Diddy might have made her but he sure as hell ain't gonna break her...she can do that all by herself!

T.I'S ROAD TO REDEMPTION

T.I.’s days of freedom may be limited, but the rapper is making a last stand to illustrate the seriousness of his pending prison sentence with his upcoming MTV reality show.T.I.’s Road to Redemption: 45 Days to Go will chronicle the rap star’s final days leading up to his one-year stint behind bars.

During that time, the rapper made time to talk to school and community groups about his past issues and ways to avoid duplicating the missteps he made, that resulted in his imminent prison time. 
T.I. was sentenced to one year in prison on federal weapons charges after he was arrested in Atlanta in 2007 for allegedly trying to buy automatic weapons.

In addition to his prison time, the Atlanta entertainer was ordered to serve 
1,000 hours of community service. The community service included talking to youth about the hazards of gang life, drugs and guns.

The docu-series, which began filming in June and will continue to shoot until March, will allow viewers a further look into 
T.I.’s world, as they share in the birth of his sixth child, the release of his latest album Paper Trailand efforts by the rapper to help a group of at-risk teens. Additionally, the show will look at T.I.’s struggle to manage his personal life while completing his required 1,000 hours of community service and coming to terms with going to jail at the height of his career. To date, T.I. has done 864 hours.

Road to Redemption is not designed to be part of the community service hours the entertainer has to complete before beginning his prison sentence on March 27. Overall, the rapper hopes the series will “scare teens straight” in an effort to steer them clear of the gang lifestyle and culture. T.I.’s Road to Redemption:45 Days To Go will premiere February 10 on MTV.

"Knicks center Eddy Curry was slapped with a shocking sex-harassment suit Monday by his former driver, who claims the 6-foot-11 hoopster tried to solicit gay sex from him.

The stunning court papers claim Curry, a married father of three, repeatedly approached chauffeur David Kuchinsky "in the nude," allegedly telling him, "Look at me, Dave, look" and "Come and touch it, Dave."

Curry also made Kuchinsky perform "humiliating tasks outside the scope of his employment, such as cleaning up and removing dirty towels [Curry had ejaculated into] so that his wife would not see them," the Manhattan federal court suit says.

Kuchinsky, who is straight and Jewish, also alleges racial discrimination, saying that Curry hurled slurs at him including "f---ing Jew," "cracker," "white slave," "white devil" and "grandmaster of the KKK."

The sex allegations hark back to the bad old days of Isiah Thomas running the team, when the team's VP of marketing, Anucha Browne Sanders, filed a 2006 sexual harassment suit claiming the general manager made advances toward her and even said he "loved" her. He also allegedly called her "ho" and "bitch."

She also complained the team was allowed to become a sleazy old-boys club, in which Stephon Marbury had sex with a female intern in an SUV. In the end, Sanders was awarded $11.6 million in punitive damages and the Knicks settled with her.

And in a disturbing episode reminiscent of some of the evidence in the manslaughter case against former Nets star Jayson Williams, Kuchinsky further claims in his suit that Curry pointed a "fully loaded" gun at him on at least two separate occasions to keep him from complaining about his treatment.

"Look, I have one in the chamber," Curry allegedly said.

Kuchinsky, who worked for Curry from October 2005 through October 2008, says he was initially hired as an around-the-clock chauffeur for Curry and his family at their Burr Ridge, Ill., mansion.

But shortly after starting work, he soon found his duties fell well outside his job description and "progressively became Curry's "house-boy,'" his suit says. He is seeking $98,000 plus compensatory damages from the injured Knick, whose contract pays him $9.4 million this year.

Kuchinsky says he is owed $68,000 in unpaid wages, as well as $25,000 in expenses for which Curry never repaid him.

"Instead of paying him, they discriminated against him, figuring that it would keep him there," said Kuchinsky's lawyer, Matthew Blit. "Imagine going into your boss's office ... and he stands up and drops his pants and he asks you take care of him. Those actions are unacceptable whether it's in a corporate office or a private home."

Curry, who has played just 2 minutes, 38 seconds this season because of knee injuries, declined to comment late Monday in New Orleans, where he was expected to sit out the Knicks' game against the Hornets.

His lawyer, Kelly Saindon, denied all of Kuchinsky's allegations, calling them "absolutely untrue," and saying he began making a series of claims for unpaid wages several months ago, upping the ante each time.

Saindon said Curry took a chance on hiring Kuchinsky despite a criminal record that includes a three-year prison sentence for a 1992 burglary in New Jersey. He also got three years' probation in a 2004 resisting-arrest case in the Garden State, records show.

"It's shocking that Eddy opened his home to a convicted felon out of prison, and gave him a job when he couldn't find a job, and this is what comes out of it," she said. "The entire thing is preposterous."

Kuchinsky's lawyer conceded his client's "troubled past," but said that was all behind him." nypost.com



I call BS on this one, I will be watching to see how it all plays out...

DJ Drama Assaulted At 'Notorious' Premiere In Atlanta


According to Allhiphop.com:

AllHipHop.com has confirmed reports of a second altercation between DJ Drama's Aphilliates and members of the CTE family.

According to Aphilliates Music Group president La The Darkman, DJ Drama was assaulted by members of Young Jeezy's entourage last night (January 12), yet walked away from the incident unscathed.

"There was a little scuffle. At a movie screening," La told AllHipHop.com, "A little thing that got handled. Fake thugs with low self esteem want to pick on the DJ’s. We definitely didn't initiate this though. DJs don't go looking for beef with fake gangstas."

The statement comes after several reports surfaced of a squirmish between the crews last night during a screening of Notorious in the posh Buckhead section of Atlanta.

The fight comes two months after La himself clashed with members of CTE outside of Radio One's Dirty Awards in November.

Both he and CTE recording artist Roccett addressed the situation, explaining that the argument was a result of comments made by Young Jeezy during a video interview.

The widely circulated clip shows Jeezy surprisingly speaking ill of Drama, with whom he found tremendous success on the Gangsta Grillz mixtape Trap or Die.

The collaboration was arguably Jeezy's introduction to a national audience.

When the interview first surfaced, DJ Drama responded saying that it had to be some misunderstanding or misinterpretation.

DJ Drama also confirmed the scuffle, while representatives for Young Jeezy informed AllHipHop.com that the rapper was in the recording studio when the incident took place.

Britney got a new one!!!!!

"Parents everywhere are outraged at Britney Spears' newest single, If You Seek Amy because it actually means something else. I'm recapping the article and still can't see how it breaks down to be this way... but here goes nothing.

"All of the boys and all of the girls are beggin’ to/If You Seek Amy." It sounds puzzling, until you realize the title breaks down as ‘F.*.*.K ME’.

I must be really tired, or really old - How does If You Seek Amy translate into F&*k me?

Update: I looked online and it sounds like it, doesn't translate into it. So "eff-you-see-kay me" is how it is suppose to translate.

One mothers group in Australia sounded off:

"I was astonished and totally taken aback when I heard my five and seven year old kids walking around the house singing, ‘F-*-*-K. When I asked them what it was, they told me it was Britney Spears. I was horrified.

"I got them the Circus album because little kids are Britney fans, but there was no warning on the album and none of the songs listed had F-*-*-K in the title.

"Listening to it, it is extremely blatant and offensive. I feel I have been deceived into believing that this was acceptable content for children but instead it is objectionable."

What do you think about Britney's single? Too much for the radio?" Imnotobessed.com



Hmm...has Britters crossed the line this time?

Jay-Z To Play 'Concert On The Eve Of Change' The Night Before Obama's Inauguration



Billed "In Concert on the Eve of Change," the "intimate performance" will take place at the 1,847-capacity Warner Theater and will feature Jay performing with his full band.

Tickets for the performance go on sale Friday at 10 a.m.

The rap icon has long been an Obama supporter. Jay, along with music executive Kevin Liles, Mary J. Blige and Diddy penned, an open letter one month before the November election calling for the hip-hop community to vote in support of Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden.

"Where it stands today, we are on the verge of making history, the kind of history that will be a part of our culture's legacy," the letter reads. "The kind of history that bridges the gap between race, religion and culture, the kind of history that will ignite a light that shines bright from generation to generation, screaming that our voice does matter and our vote does count. The kind of history that will enable the next generation of leaders to encourage vision, not division, to encourage hope, not hopelessness, to encourage the power of the people, not the power politics of the few."

In addition, Jay took the opportunity throughout his and Blige's "Heart of the City" tour to praise Obama while condemning the current administration. Video images of Obama would appear on a screen behind the stage while Jay stopped mid-performance during "Blue Magic," as he got to the lyric where he disses President Bush.

"Y'all ready for change, right?" he often said. "This concert isn't sponsored by Barack Obama or nothing like that ... I'm just voicing my opinion as a citizen of America."

Young Jeezy, T.I., and Russell Simmons are among the other members of the hip-hop community who will celebrate Obama's win. The aforementioned will appear at Simmons' Hip-Hop Summit Action Network's Inauguration Ball, which is also scheduled to take place January 19 at the Harman Center for the Arts in Washington, D.C.

Spider-Man has a new sidekick


"WASHINGTON — Spider-Man has a new sidekick: The president-elect.

Barack Obama collected Spider-Man comics as a child, so Marvel Comics wanted to give him a "shout-out back" by featuring him in a bonus story, said Joe Quesada, Marvel's editor-in-chief.

"How great is that? The commander in chief to be is actually a nerd in chief," Quesada said. "It was really, really cool to see that we had a geek in the White House. We're all thrilled with that."

The comic starts with Spider-Man's alter-ego Peter Parker taking photographs at the inauguration, before spotting two identical Obamas.

Parker decides "the future president's gonna need Spider-Man," and springs into action, using basketball to determine the real Obama and punching out the impostor.

Obama thanks him with a fist-bump.

Marvel comics have featured most presidents, but generally in walk-on roles, Quesada said.

"I think President Nixon might have appeared on the cover, but not in a good way," he said.

Obama has said that as a child, he collected Spider-Man and Conan the Barbarian comic books. His Senate Web site used to have a photo of him posing in front of a Superman statue.

The Obama story is a bonus in Marvel Comic's Amazing Spider-Man #583, available in comic book shops nationwide on Jan. 14 for $3.99 and is expected to sell out, with half the covers devoted to Obama." Huffingtonpost.com


Yep you know that it's gonna sell out...does anyone know if they can be pre-ordered?
