Multiple Grammy-winning and current hip-hop kingpin Kanye West is bringing out the big guns for this tour, by inviting a whole bunch of great singers. This comes after West captured four rap Grammy Awards, but lost other four in categories he had been nominated. As a matter of fact, he lost the rap collaboration award to Barbadian bombshell, Rihanna. But they are going together on a tour, along with N.E.R.D. and Lupe Fiasco. Fiasco is…
We all had loads of fun with [tag]Snoop Dogg[/tag]’s previous retro funk take, Sensual Seduction, now it’s time to listen to his latest single called “Neva Hafta Worry,” a last sample before the release of his ninth studio album titled “Ego Trippin’.” In Neva Hafta Worry Snoop abandons the disco funk (more please) for a slow burner, as he reminds us that he’s been in the game for 15 years, “and I’m [he’s] still relevant.”…

Well Tom Petty may be the official Super Bowl performer (sort of) but the week leading up the Superbowl is going to feature a whole lot of other performance including the 30-year-old rapper known as Ludacris. He has been selected to play at ESPN The Magazine’s Next party Feb. 1, which will highlight future trends in sports, technology and lifestyle. These are the kind of events which you don’t pick; they pick you.”(It) feels…
Hey, I knew Saul’s “Niggy Tardust” sold a bit poorly, but I never thought he’d have to live the rest of his day as a vagabond, hobo, bum etc. My apologies, Trent, for my bitchin’. Seeing Williams covered a [tagU2[/tag] song, “Sunday Bloody Sunday,” maybe Bono can spare him some change.
His true name is Stanley Burrell and he was the only one who could touch this. But he hasn’t topped the music charts since the early 1990s but he still is a huge name in the business. Still he says that he has another hit on him – only this time around he’ll produce it as a Silicon Valley entrepreneur.
