Drake talks to CNN about not fitting the stereotypical rapper mold, writing songs for women (“I’m not a womanizer, but I love to study behavioral patterns in women”), his thoughts on Lil Wayne’s imprisonment (“I think that that was the opportunity to make an example out of somebody who didn’t deserve to be made an example out of”), and getting undergarments thrown at him onstage during shows.
I absolutely love this guy!!! Triple Threat…singer, rapper and actor!!!
Fantasia – Even Angels LISTEN
Finally, some new music from Fantasia’s third album…which sounds great by the way. The new track, “Even Angels” produced by The Stereotypes and written by Heather Bright, was featured on her hit VH1 series, Fantasia For Real. There is no solid release date, but the album is set to drop sometime at the top of this year.
Fantasia will perform the track on February 3rd (this Wednesday) on an Oprah special, titled Stars of Reality TV: Fantasia’s Comeback and Ruby’s Revelations.

Usher feat. Will.I.Am – Oh My Gosh LISTEN
I like Usher and Will.I.Am’s collabs (i.e. “What’s Your Name?” on his Here I Stand album)…the auto-tune not so much ’cause Usher really doesn’t need it. Will put his futuristic touch on it and Boom, Boom, Pow…you gotta a great song!! By the way, I hope that all these songs that are leaking are gonna be on the CD, ’cause the most of them are tight!
Mariah Carey feat. Nicki Minaj – Up Out My Face [REMIX] LISTEN
Mariah’s releasing another remix CD, Angels Advocate, and this is one of the appearing tracks. Young Money’s First Lady adds her brash style to the remix. I’m really lovin’ everything Nicki is on right now…she’s so different lyrically and her flow is crazy…’bout time for the ladies to be on top again!
Nike is showing us ladies alot of love as of late by way of the Nike Skinny Dunks and the Air Force 1 High, for example, so this release shouldn’t be a surprise. The Nike Court Force High has also joined the female bandwagon with the pair pictured here, which gets its nickname from the grid pattern that can be seen on some of the upper’s panels. The rest of the shoe comes in a royal blue/black colorway with white midsole and black shoe laces.
Looks like they’ve been released overseas so hopefully they’ll make it stateside soon. Via Mita.
Check out Birdman’s new video featuring Drake and Lil Wayne. The single is from Baby’s upcoming album, Priceless. I love the song but the video, not so much. Wayne is right though when he says, “We gone be alright if we put Drake on every hook!”…cause Drake always kills it!
Ms. Keri is back with another video from her debut album, In A Perfect World. Chris Brown, Omarion, Polow Da Don and Monica make cameo appearances in the video. Check it Out!!
