Chris Brown feat. Kanye West - “Down” [Listen]
This is definitely a new sound from Chris Brown. I’m really diggin’ the whole rock influence and Kanye’s verses are hot as always. But I’m not sure about the rest of the song; it seems like it’s missing something. Maybe it’ll grow on me, but it is a lot hotter than some of the other material that has leaked from his upcoming album, Exclusive.

Chris Brown - “With You” [Listen]
This Stargate-produced track has like the same guitar sample as “Irreplaceable.” This is supposedly going to be Chris’ third single off of Exclusive, but they might want to rethink. It’s an okay song, but it belongs to another person. He’s just trying to have a “pop” sound. The pop charts will eat this up though.

This time last year, the Clipse complained to anyone who’d listen how unhappy it was on Jive Records. Now, the act’s wish to leave has been granted. Sibling MCs Malice and Pusha T have ended their deal with Jive and the Neptunes’ Star Trak Entertainment in favor of a new arrangement with Columbia, Billboard has learned.

The Clipse emerged early this decade on Star Trak, which at the time was distributed by Arista. The duo’s 2002 debut, “Lord Willin’,” was a critical and commercial smash, and has sold 948,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

When Arista was restructured in 2004, the label’s artists were split between J and Jive. But Star Trak joined Interscope, leaving the Clipse behind at Jive. The act lobbied to be allowed to follow Star Trak to its new home, but Jive refused, resulting in a lawsuit that sought to break the Clipse’s four-album deal (Jive had no comment at deadline).

I know I’m kinda late, but I figured I’d post Mary J. Blige’s new video for “Just Fine” anyway. The video is okay and the song (which was produced by Jazze Pha) has like an old school vibe to it. It’ll have to grown on me though. Mary’s new album Growing Pains is set to hit stores on December 11.

Above is the much anticipated interview between Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson. It is a part of Myspace’s Artist on Artist series and it’s Owen’s first public interview since his highly publicized suicide attempt. I watched the interview and it’s kind of just blah… But it’s good to see that he’s back and is doing better.

Spoiler alert! If you don’t want to know what goes down in the first ten minutes of this Monday’s new epsiode of I Love New York 2, then don’t click below. If you’re like me and just can’t wait to see what goes down, click below to see who gets cut in the first few minutes of the show!

This collaboration seems very random. But Natasha looks good and as always her vocals are on point.

A lot of people say that she can’t sing, but I think Ashanti did her thing with this performance. Looking foward to hearing some material from her new album Decleration, which is due in stores around the top half of 2008.

Finally, the new layout is complete!

Yolanda “LaLa” Brown, best known for being featured in Lyfe Jenning’s hit single “S.E.X.”, was found dead along with her boyfriend in a Milwaukee, Wisconsin, studio Friday. From TMJ4:

A familiar voice to Milwaukee R & B fans has been silenced. Twenty-one year old Yolanda “La La” Brown and her producer, 22-year-old JeTannue Clayborn, were found dead in their recording studio Friday night.

Milwaukee police say both were found in the Loud Enuff Productionz studio at 55th and Lisbon. Both had gunshot wounds and had been dead at least a day before being discovered. They were reportedly dating.

JeTannue’s mother, Dina Chambers, describes him as energetic, with an eye toward making music his career. “He loved music. He loved people. He was very kind. They called him “Koo Laid” because every time you saw him, he was smiling.”

Autopsies were scheduled on both Clayborn and Brown, but the results have not been released

This is so sad.. I feel so sorry for their kids (She had a daughter; he had a son). My deepest condolences to the families of LaLa and JeTannue.

The video for Lyfe’s single “S.E.X.,” featuring LaLa Brown, is after the jump.

Never fear, I’m still here! LOL that was corny as hell. But yeah, sorry for the lack of posts for the past few weeks. I’m trying to get everything straightened out and trying to develop a plan where I can keep the site updated on a regular basis and still stay on top of everything when it comes to school. College is demanding, yall! But don’t worry, I worked too hard on this to give up, so yall know I’ve been thinking hard on what I will do and I think I have a plan.

So expect regular posts to resume this Monday (Oct. 22). I PROMISE I will keep it updated DAILY!

When Britney Spears and lil’ sis Jamie Lynn Spears stepped out to grab a bite to eat at an L.A. restaurant Sunday, they were met by hundreds of paparazzos, of course, but also a crazy woman who bravely yelled to Britney “No one wants you in this neighborhood… you’re making this neighborhood unsafe.” And to that, Jamie Lynn got right in her face and said “Well then move the f**k out!” That’s what I’m talkin about! Who knew Jamie Lynn was so hardcore! Check out the video of the whole fiasco at TMZ.
