Outkast member Andre 3000 is featured on Ke$ha’s “Sleazy” which is a cut from her Cannibal EP. Ke$ha revealed how the collaboration came about saying
“I sent him the track and was fully aware that he’s only been on a few songs in the past five years. But he ended up liking it.” She continued saying
“We got on the phone and he said, ‘With a flow that, you could definitely have a career as a rapper'.’ It was the biggest compliment I've ever had. It was coming from a god!”
DJ Scratch & 50 cent speak on the Nicki-Kim Feud
Veteran hip-hop producer DJ Scratch shared his thought on the Minaj-Kim feud, saying he feels they should both call off the beef and unite in order to champion the female hip-hop force making it one to reckon with.
Basically the summary of what he told SOHH.com is that it’s a shame that they’re beefing and he wish he could get into contact with Lil’ Kim. He also feels Kim should be the big sister and take Nicki under her wing.
50 cent on the hand feels the beef is “harmless”. According to MTV Fiddy states that Nicki Minaj and Lil’ Kim are ‘too different to be a threat to each other.
Next Beckham Baby to be a Girl
It has been reported that David and Victoria Beckham’s fourth child will be a girl

The couple already have three boys – Brooklyn 11, Romeo 8 and Cruz 5.
Sir Elton John has held no restraint in slamming the present state of British pop music.
The Sacrifice singer told The Word magazine that he thought all pop artists sound the same adding that they were all crap. Sir John who is a close friend of Eminem took a cue from his rapper friend by mentioning the name of the artists that “sound the same” and are “crap”.
Among those who got the honour (sarcasm intended) of being bestowed the “crap” phrase are Girls Aloud, The Saturdays and Cheryl Cole. John said
“Frankly they all sound the same. It’s hard to tell Girls Aloud from The Saturdays . And then there’s Cheryl Cole… It’s all crap”
When asked about reality-star-only-person-Kanye West-follows-on-twitter-latest-wannabe-pop-star Kim Kardashian he blew a gasket by replying
“Who the fuck is Kim Kardashian? Some stupid old tart from somewhere or other?
Since he said all pop artist are crap he still had some praises left for Take that and Westlife (typical – praise the karaoke-cover-everyone’s-song-boys)
“I think they they genuinely do sing their stuff, but 99% of the other fucking Herberts out there can’t sing.
Oh how I love when gay people especially veterans get angry….hmm. I actually love the Kim K. part the most, seriously she should stick to what she knows how to do best (whatever that is because seriously i can’t figure out what it is she does)
First the S&M music video has been banned in several countries then You Tube places a restriction on the video for people under 18. These are just some of the woes that have followed the release of Riri’s S&M (3rd single from “Loud”) video
The most recent is that Rihanna real name Robyn Fenty ripped off David LaChappele’s work in the S&M Music video. The video is reportedly is similar to images taken by the photographer in (LaChappele) his previous works.
Peep the picture at M is for Music and be the judge, if you think the visuals are a rip off or not.
But seriously people can be so hypocritical and sentimental at times. When Lady Gaga (i have nothing against her #justSaying) shows skin or goes nude in her Music Videos (see Love Game) and pictures it is called art bur Riri does not go to that extent and people are making a fuss….purhlease.
Also we don’t hear Madonna complaining about Lady Gaga rip-offs of her but when it is Rihanna everyone goes kaboom.
On the bright side UK rising star Jessie J took to twitter yesterday to express her love for the buzz generating video
“Just watched @rihanna new video L.O.V.E.I love the humor in it and she look incredible. Still one of my icons”

Hey people it been a while I've updated so am gonna try something new for this post. “Fuss + Spotlight” is basically a post where i pick an artist, producer, song writer , vocalist etc. (anyone that catch my fancy) and dig up all i can find about the person. In summary I just focus on the work of a particular person and add my two kobo where needed. so enjoy my very first “Fuss + Spotlight” artist – Skylar Grey
If you’ve been around (musically) from the period between last year and this year you must have heard the name Skylar Grey. Better still, does the name Holly Brook ring a bell? Yes, No. Whatever the answer Skylar Grey and Holly Brook are one and the same person. Holly Brook was her former professional name but she is now known as Skylar Grey.
Skylar Grey (birth name Holly Brook Hafermann) born 1986 is a multi-instrumental American singer, songwriter,musician and record producer.
She has quite a few (major) song writing credits to her name. She co-wrote sections of the billboard smash hit “Love the way you lie” performed by Eminem ft. Rihanna. You'all know Rihanna took the Alicia Keys way by recording “Love the way you lie II” which featured on her album Loud; well Skylar Grey performed background vocals, piano and served as co-producer on the piano version. She (Grey) also recorded her own vocals for “Love the way you lie II”
She also lent her vocals to Diddy-Dirty Money’s “Coming home” which is a single from the LP Last Train to Paris which she also co-wrote alongside Jay-Z. She wrote the single “Castle walls” performed by T.I. ft. Christina Aguilera (female Kanye West in terms of ego #OkBye) from his “No Mercy” LP.
Her voice was also featured on the chorus of Fort Minor’s “Where’d you go” (credited as Holly Brook) which won MTV VMA ringtone of the year award in 2006. She is also a featured guest on “I Need a Doctor” which she sang the chorus for Dr. Dre and Eminem.
She has also written songs for Rob Thomas and Avril Lavigne. for her writing contributions to “Love the Way You Lie” Grey has earned a Grammy nomination for song of the year.
For someone who have lent her talent to other artiste you might wonder if she has albums of her own, the answer is yes she does – one LP and an EP. Her debut album, “Like Blood Like Honey” was released in the year 2006 while the other “O’Dark: Thirty EP was released 2010.
She is currently signed to a production deal on Alex Da Kid’s (real name Alexander Grant) Wonderland music imprint. The future looks bright for Grey, from her repertoire of songwriting and vocal credits one can’t help but predict a high clientele for Skylar in the near future (that’s if they are not already breathing down her neck). She is a brilliant songwriter and a good and unique vocalist.
Sometimes its good to expose the star behind the star – don’t you think so?
