"Common Chick" is the first video off Sullee J's latest project Victory Watch the video here:

Will Will Smith's new show be today's Fresh Prince?

Could Fresh Prince of Bel-Air be getting a modern twist?

NBC

TV Line reports that Will Smith is in very early development of a news TV show with a similar theme and feel to Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

The site says the show in development deals with the same "fish out of water" theme as Fresh Prince.

Unlike Fresh Prince, Will Smith would only be the producer.

If the show turns out to be a Fresh Prince reboot, it will be joining a long list of reboots including : 90210, Melrose Place, Girl Meets World, and he upcoming Fuller House.

Would you want to see a modern take on Fresh Prince?

Take that Cookie and Stuff up your....Yeah

Limp Bizkit's newest track "Why Try" seems a befitting title, as in "Why Try to come back?"
Seriously, is that all the music scene has to offer? Teen sensations from the 80s and 90s trying to resurface with recycled versions of their old hits? "Why Try" has been compared to their other huge hit "Nookie".
I suppose it demonstrates a similar amount of talent and "deep lyrics" but its less appealing to me than Nookie, which truth be told, was only appealing to me because I was a 14-year-old sell-out with a big-time crush on a Limp Bizkit Loving Skater Kid. But I am no longer 14, and I think most of the skater kids look like they need a good bath. The beginning of this song is literally painful to listen to, like nails on a chalk board. The only appeal for ME at all is that it sounds so 99...that despite it being from 2010, I feel like Im back in Freshman Yr.

To Quote the deep Durst Himself..."Take your shit Back, cuz all your shit's whack!"
Peep the video below...and let me know what you think!





=D

Big Mama For Mayor? Big Rumor

New York Daily News Reports that a man claiming to be the spokesperson for rapper Lil' Kim (Kimberly Jones) sent false press releases to the media announcing that the former Junior Mafia Chick was running for mayor of Hoboken, New Jersey. The false information was announced on various New York media outlets including Channel 7.

Lil' Kim's real publicist released her own statement denouncing such rumors as untrue. Saying that the man who wrote the press releases had no relation to Kim. The self-proclaimed "Black Barbie"(fitting) expressed her amusement of the rumor via E News, insisting that she was flattered by the story. She admitted to not being involved or very knowledgeable about politics and was flattered that someone thought she could.
I can't understand how any media outlet could have fallen for that? Not to hate on Lil' Kim, but the rapper doesn't strike me as one with a passion for politics. I can't recall a single song she's done that has made any sort of reference to any form of politic believe. Kanye West trying to become a politician is much more believable as he has voiced political opinions via song or personal blog.
Doesn't anyone fact check anymore?

In A Pop Minute

Model Kate Moss will be releasing a Kosher Cook Book. I can imagine the recipes to be included:
Kosher Cocaine
Kosher Crack
Kosher Heroin
I think I will pass on this book. Ya know what they say, never trust the cooking of A Skinny bitch, if they aren't eating, the food can't be that good.

In more pop culture news:

"People are calling Lady Gaga the pop princess, [so] what's Heidi - the pop queen?" he added.
Asked to name five artists Montag is more talented than, Pratt said,"Madonna, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Beyonce and Christina Aguilera."
"I wouldn't even compare them to Heidi's level," he went on. "I am in the
studio everyday with Heidi I know what's coming. I can make claims like
that."-Heidi Montag's Boy Friend Spencer Pratt On Atlanta's Q100 "The Bert Show" as reported by US Weekly.

The statement is so Friggin' Riddicolous I can't even stand it. Bigger than Beyonce? Christina? Brit? MADONNA?

If by talent you mean: being a bad friend, having an idiot for a boyfriend, being famous for no reason, being a whinny brat...then YES! Heidi has talent.

But Hey, who am I to judge? Judge for yourself! Check out Heidi's Videos on You tube: Higher and Overdosing.

As I am a bandwagon jumper, I decided that I too would take my best shot at blogging everyday in April. Now technically, it is April 2, however, as it is only 2:30 am, I will count this as my April 1st entry.

Lil' Wayne, the rapper known for his hits "Lollipop" "Mrs. Officer" and a multitude of hooks and verses on just about every song and remix in R&B and rap, will drop "rebirth" this June. Unlike his previous efforts, The Rebirth is Lil' Wayne's attempt to cross-over to rock.

Lil' Wayne discuses this transition with Rolling Stone, explaining that he has "grown tired of rapping." Excerpts from the interview were posted on MTV.com. In discussing his attempt at a rock record, Wayne admits that his "rock" won't appeal to all (or many) rock fans, and doesn't seem to be bothered that the album won't be as successful or as popular as past work. Such an admission is admirable coming from in artist of a genre which tends to be narcissistic.

After hearing Prom Queen, which leaked a few months back, I am honestly not expecting much from this album. However, I give Weezy serious props for stepping out of his comfort zone and trying something new. For making the music he wants to make, even if he is the ONLY one who wants to hear it.

While some haters have argued that Wayne's success will allow him to sell rock albums no matter how much they suck because of his past success. While this is may be true to an extent (undoubtedly many Lil' Wayne Die-hards will scoop the album up without even hearing it), he will definitely face negativity and criticism, often from critics who won't bother to even listen. Just look at Kanye-and all the hateration around his new sound on 808. But art is all about evolving...even if no one is ready for the evolution.

***I know this blog tends to be a bit too culture/mtv heavy,...I'm working on that!!!
