While I’m not a Wyclef Jean fan – due to some L-Boogie smack-talkin’ on his part – a sista loves her some Lauryn Hill! Here’s video of Lauryn performing Doo Wop (That Thing), Saturday, Jan. 23, at New Zealand’s Ragamuffin 2010 Reggae & Hip-Hop Festival. Aren’t we hoping this performance is the beginning of a comeback…
Solange covers the Dirty Projectors “Stillness is the move” over Erykah Badu’s “Bag Lady” track. I admit I have no clue who the Dirty Projectors are, but this track is NICE! And I’m not just sayin’ that because I’m a Solange stan…
Michael Jackson’s previously unreleased single “This is It” has made it’s online debut via MJ’s official website. The 2-disc album will be released in conjunction with the limited-run movie, which opens in theaters this month.
“The Way You Want It” is said to be a leak from the “ATLiens” mixtape, and I’m hoping it’ll be featured on “Paper Trail:Case Closed”.
IMO, Tip has never sounded better (but I always say that about him, don’t I?) as he addresses his court case, going to prison, and faith in God – not man.
He also addresses his baby momma LaShon, and their recent child support case. Basically telling her if she doesn’t want to be poor she needs to get a job! And she should quit being mad that they’re not “doing it” anymore.
This isn’t the first time Tip’s dedicated a verse to her. He also addressed her in TrapMuzik’s “I Still Luv You” – but he was a whole lot nicer about it back then – saying “I gotta love you to keep from killing you, shawty”.
Guess he just figured he’d get it all out of his system this time around…
I think the reality of Tip going to jail for 366 days just hit me. Gotta tell you – I’m a little sad about it. Knowing he has to (and should) pay his debt to society doesn’t keep me from empathizing with the difficulty of his situation.
Luckily for us, though - he left new music. “Remember Me” is said to be the first single from the “Paper Trail: Case Closed” re-release, and it’s made me a little emotional…
On the upside – everybody (and their mama) is reporting that Tip and Tiny were married in a secret ceremony, and Tiny has inked a deal for a new reality series with Lil’ Wayne’s baby moms Toya. Congrats to all, for all!
