Mariah Carey goes IN on Marshall Mathers in her “Obsessed” song. It seems like R&B singers are holding back less and less when it comes to beef (i.e. Trey Songz D.O.A. diss to Kellz) But the only problem I have with this is the auto tune!! Mariah, you are a singer, SING! Throwing some auto-tune on your track does not make it harder, in fact it makes it harder to understand you. Ditch the cop out and just sing. The auto-tune boat has sailed.

JookTV – “Charles, Follow me down the rabbit hole” from Jacques Morel on Vimeo.

My homie from Jacquesmorel.com sent me over this vid and below you’ll find what he said:

Hey whats up guys!

If you do not know, I am Jacques from JacquesMorel.com. I decided to make a little lighthearted video on what I thought about the Charles Hamilton situation. I take from the Matrix when I explain to Charles his options. No beef is intended! Just having some fun!

I spotted this on BET last night during the half hour Access Granted “Above and Beyonce”. I’m sure most of y’all have seen the “Ego” video already but this version has Kanye’s well dressed ass doing his verse. After the jump you will find the video for Broken Hearted Girl off Beyonce’s I Am Sasha Fierce

Here’s a new artist from Brooklyn doing some sort of medley of southern rap songs. *blank stare*
Let me start by saying I hate “Swag Surfin”, I make a point to sit down in the club when the DJ plays it.
To hear yet another New York rapper rap over a southern song gets under my skin! Where is the originality?! Let the southern rappers do their southern rap, why not focus on putting New York (the birthplace of hip hop) back on the map!
And to hear the chorus be that terrible dragging out of words mixed with Souljah Boy’s terrible songs left me with a bad taste in my mouth.
*sigh*… maybe it’s just me.

Nicki Minaj chops it up with The Boss Lady during her photo shoot with Dr.Jays clothing.
I like her personality, she’s entertaining… her music eh, not so much.

We all know that there is a void in the hip hop game for a prominent female emcee, and it is my belief that Remy Ma held down that role for a little while. She may not have had crazy mainstream success but the streets loved her back when they loved Fat Joe and his click… Terror Squad, I believe. Regardless since her incarceration it appears she’s been going crazy in that box of hers. After the jump you’ll find her letter she wrote with her callouses hands to the people.
