Soulja Boy, You Can't Be Serious

I can see how I could have missed the premiere of this video. Here is the new video from Soulja Boy for his song "Pretty Boy Swag."

Don't let the catchy hook fool you.

I'm not even going to write anything because the video and the song pretty much speaks for itself. My words would just be like kicking a horse while it's down.

All I have to say is that I told you this would happen from when he first came out, that is all.

Oh Dear! DMX Arrested For Violating Probation

"Every time man, every time they do it to me."

*Sigh* DMX had a run in with the law yet again.

The rapper was arrested in Arizona yesterday, Tuesday, March 9th for violating his probation by doing drugs.

For the past 9 months, DMX has been using illegal drugs which includes cocaine. Obviously, jail is not the solution perhaps rehab will do best a sentiment shared by DMX's lawyer who is hoping that VH1's Dr. Drew can help DMX and his problem.

At this point, DMX and jail go hand in hand like seats on a bus. After watching E! True Hollywood's special on Hip-Hop Wives and hearing what his wife had to say about his numerous run-in's with the law, DMX clearly needs to get out of the limelight and lay low for awhile. His fame is toxic to his life.

M.Y.'s Perfect 10: The 10 Most Artistic Album Covers

In an age where music fans can get a 10-track album simply by pressing download via their computer, it is clear to see that albums are no longer viewed as items but more so viewed as computer files.

Though I happen to be an iPod lover thanks to me not having to literally flip through CD’s searching for the album I want to listen to at that moment, album art has always been the one thing that I’m always interested in seeing once an artist announces their album release date.

The art on an album cover can either make or break an album. It plays a big part in deciding if one wants to buy or walk right past an album.

Some artists make the mistake of giving the same old, same old when it comes to their albums often times going for the full-frontal face shot or just hitting a really corny pose.

But with the boring, there are the artists that take the album art process to another level. Their artistic expressions oozes on to their covers, producing aesthetically appealing album art never seen before and that has the ability to make you stop in your tracks to do a double take.

Remembering Notorious B.I.G. (1972-1997)

It's crazy to imagine that today marks 13 years since we said goodbye to Biggie who was taken away from us too soon. He was just 24 years old and yet he was so talented and a gift to music.

New T.I. Album Coming In August + Releases New Single 'I'm Back'

Kanye West Makes An Appearance At The Oscars...Well, Not Quite

Last night the 82nd annual Academy Awards aired on ABC and it was actually not boring this year.

Though ABC was holding their channel hostage from the NYC subscribers of ABC due to their behind the door battle that somehow spilled out to the likes of us, I was still able to see some great moments like Mo'Nique winning her first Oscar and Sandra Bullock finally getting the respect that she deserves by taking home her very first gold man.

One of the moments of the night that stood out to me most was when director Roger Ross Williams of the documentary Music By Prudence was up on stage accepting his award and Elinor Burkett - who was the producer of the film - jumped on stage in the middle of his speech (uninvited I'm sure) to state her piece rudely interrupting Williams.

It turns out these two had some issues regarding the film, but the thing that made me shake my head, was when Roger was interviewed about the incident, he made reference to Kanye by saying that Elinor "pulled a Kanye."

Dang....

So I guess we are not going to leave the Kanye West VMA bombardment alone...ever.

Did we not go over my post on the Kanye West jokes needing to cease? Kanye was at the Oscars without even being at the Oscars.

At least one thing has come of it, he is being mentioned in corners that he has nothing to do with.

Kanye, you are officially a verb.

Video Premiere: Jagged Edge 'Tip Of My Tongue' + Behind-The-Scenes Look At Beyonce's 'Dereon' Photoshoot

Here is the new video from Jagged Edge for their song "Tip Of My Tongue" off of their album "The Remedy" coming soon.

Interesting camera work.

I always find it intriguing to see how how artists that have songs with Gucci Mane (who is currently incarcerated) improvise in the videos for the songs.

In other news... 

Remember those photos that were posted with Beyonce modeling the latest fashions from her clothing line House of Dereon? Well, now you can get a behind the scenes look at how it all came together. Y'all can forget about this girl going on a break, she can relax when she's in orthopedic shoes.
