Check out a new track from Big Sean titled Fire.

With a month away until the release of his album Hall Of Fame, Big Sean sheds more insight into whats to come with the audio release of Fire via his Soundclound account.

"Since this already leaked today y'all can just have it! I had to bring the Soul on this 1! This IS NOT a single...yet, but 1 of my favorites on the album. I hope you can appreciate this," he posts via his Instagram.

NEW VIDEO: Justin Timberlake - Take Back The Night

Check out the recently released visuals for Justin Timberlake's latest single, Take Back The Night.

The video sees Timberlake dancing on the streets of New York's Chinatown, where he then ends up in one of those over exhausted, secret behind-the-counter clubs where only cool people can go. These scenes are met with shots of Justin performing to a sold out audience at the Yankee Stadium.

Directed by Jeff Nicholas, Jonathan Craven and Darren Craig for The Uprising Creative. Watch below.



The video is OK. Love the beginning of the video where he meets up with some random dancers on the street. As the video progresses it gets very boring. It's obvious that this track will not perform as epically as Suit & Tie, even though It should. The video isn't THAT bad but I really expected more. The Yankee Stadium shots seem so last minute. Take Back The Night sits at #49 on the US iTunes chart. #WOMP!

'The Voice' Said No To Jennifer Lopez Finale Performance & 'Recurring' Role

According to reports, Jennifer Lopez offered up her skills for a chance at a finale performance and a mentor role on The Voice, to which she was denied both!

It appears that Jennifer Lopez had offered her services to perform on The Voice finale this past season. With which she was answered "Thanks, but no thanks". She made a formal offer to be on the show and they said no. NBC actually confirmed that they declined Lopez’s request. Why? We do not know. An insider further tells The New York Post that she also wanted to be a mentor or have a recurring role on The Voice but was denied that as well! The source said, “When you submit yourself to be a performer, the show can see how [the fans] and ratings react to your episode. But, they said no to both. Oop!

On Lopez’s offer to perform on the finale, insiders say, “It was simply a matter of timing. The producers love Jennifer Lopez and tried to make it work, but due to the show’s format it just didn’t allow for another solo performance. Cher was booked months in advance. There was only room left for someone to do duets [with the finalists]. But the genres were country and EDM [electronic dance music] — which did not seem like a natural pairing.”

Oh well. On to the next for Ms Lopez. We all know she's never far from a new cheque. Can't help but giggle though. LOL!

Solange Performs Nivea's 'Laundromat' ...In An Actual Laundromat!

You read right! Solange took to an actual laundromat in New York to perform a cover of Nivea's song 'Laundromat' as a part of a Vitaminwater and The Fader magazine's Uncapped event.

A select few of Vitaminwater and The Fader magazine's supporters were surprised at the gig's venue where Solange turned the Atlantic Super Wash Laundromat into a neon lit underground nightclub.

Solange performed past hits and further promoted new tracks off her latest EP 'True'. "This laundromat really has me wanting to be a drama queen tonight, so excuse my theatrics," she says before performing her hit, Losing You.


Of coarse Solange is going to be the one to make headlines for throwing a gig at an NYC laundromat. Kinda ratchet and cool at the same time. Get it girl! Thanks TrueExclusives!

NEW VIDEO: Nelly - Get Like Me ft. Pharrell & Nicki Minaj

The visuals for Nelly's Get Like Me have arrived. Check it out below.

The clip has a lush, black-n-white theme, as Nicki Minaj and Pharrell co-star in the Colin Tilley directed visual. Scantily clad women make cameo's through out the video, as do Nicki's twerking skills.

Get Like Me is the latest single from his seventh studio album, M.O., scheduled to impact on September 30. It's also the follow-up to the smash hit, Hey Porsche, which sold over 100,000 copies during its release week, and became his 22nd charted Top 40 song, and tied him at 11th for "most charted Top 40 hits ever".

VIDEO: Hair Stylist Chases Down Foxy Brown To Pay Her $900 Bill

OMG! This is too funny!!

Watch as a New York hairstylist chases down rapper Foxy Brown for payment on a $900 hair weave.

According to 'celebrity' hair stylist Genevieve 'G Star' Jean-Baptiste, Foxy Brown received a custom made hair weave and left the salon without paying her. Genevieve says after completing the custom job, rapper Foxy Brown complimented her on her work, danced around in her new hair and then left the salon without paying.

Via Instagram:

THIS HERE IS MY WORK. THE PERSON PHOTOGRAPHED IS IN FACT FOXY BROWN AKA INGA MARCHAND. I DID THIS NET WEAVE WITH A CUSTOM SPACE SO THAT HER HEARING AID COULD SLIDE IN AND MAGNETICALLY ATTACH TO HER HEAD. I HAVE NO REASON TO LIE ABOUT DOING HER HAIR ESPECIALLY BECAUSE SHE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A HAS BEEN.

I’M UPSET BECAUSE I RESPECTED AS A NEW CUSTOMER DESPITE WHAT HAS BEEN SAID ABOUT HER. I KNOW I DID AN AMAZING JOB ON HER, IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE HER HAIR LOOKED BEAUTIFUL. SHE LOVED IT…DANCED AROUND IN THE SALON AND SAID “GSTAR YASSSSSS MY HAIR IS LAID”!!! SHE THEN WALKED OUT REQUIRING ME TO CHASE HER AND ASK FOR MY PAYMENT. I HAVE MANY WITNESSES THAT WERE THERE TO SUPPORT HER NOT PAYING ME. I WILL BE GIVING A MORE DETAILED STORY OF EVENTS SHORTLY. I THANK EVERYONE FOR THE SUPPORT.

Watch the confrontation below:

FIRST LOOK: Basketball Wives Season 5 Teaser

The new season of Basketball Wives premieres next month and VH1 have released it's first of many teasers.

This teaser clip sees Suzie catch major fade from Evelyn, as they catch up over drinks. Suzie proceeds to, seemingly, talk about a conversation with new cast member Tasha Marbury, where she admits they shared a joke concerning Evelyn's infamous domestic violence incident. Unamused, Evelyn turns swiftly towards Suzie with her death stare asking, 'You thought that was funny!?'.

Oop! Looks like Suzie hasn't changed a bit!

NEW MUSIC: Trina - A** Fat ft. Meek Mill

'CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story' Movie Teaser

Watch the first official teaser for the VH1 TV movie, CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story.

As we all know, the movie stars Drew Sidora as Tionne 'T-Boz' Watkins, Keke Palmer as Rozanda 'Chilli' Thomas, and Lil Mama as the late Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes. It follows the girls from the very beginning of their career, all the way into the Fanmail era.

The film will also contain remakes of TLC's more iconic music video's including, 'Creep,' 'Waterfalls' and 'No Scrubs'.

Watch below:


I like the teaser. Has me excited of what's to come. Looking forward to more teasers of the biopic. There's only one thing I think would have done without, which are the remakes of the music video's. If not executed right, it could seem very tacky. Personally, I believe that some things should NEVER be touched, and with such R&B/Hip Hop culture classics, it's slightly unsettling.

Either way I'm looking forward to seeing more. Chilli and T-Boz both executive produced the Charles Stone III directed visual.

#NEWVIDEO: Busta Rhymes - Twerk It ft. Nicki Minaj

Check out the new video for the remix to Busta Rhymes' 'Twerk It' featuring Nicki Minaj.

The visuals, which are directed by Director X, feature club scenes where ladies twerk uncontrollably. Busta Rhymes walks around with his commanding presence, spitting his verses while men grind up on scantily clad, gyrating women.

Typical. Lush. Inorganic. DJ Khaled and Pharrell make cameos.

K. Michelle Performs On Wendy Williams + Confirms Relationship With Lance Stephenson

Love & Hip Hop Atlanta's break out star K. Michelle took to the Wendy Williams Show stage to perform her latest single, V.S.O.P..

In addition to her flawless performance, K. Michelle chatted with Wendy, confirming her relationship with Indiana Pacers baller Lance Stephenson. "I'm smiling. I'm Happy. It took a long time," she says about the relationship.

K. Michelle also confirmed that this will be her last season on #LHHATL, also confirming that she will be starring in her own reality show.

V.S.O.P. is K. Michelle's latest single off of her upcoming album Rebellious Soul, which drops August 13th.



Wow. Thought I'd never see a cast member of #LHHATL on the Wendy Williams Show. Especially after Wendy specifically said that the show and it's cast members were not suitable for her show. Seems like all was set aside for K. Michelle's appearance. Or maybe it was Momma Dee's comments!?

Via RumorFix:

Get the Hell off. You don’t know us, b—–! If you had us on the show you could get to know us. You can fake and taint what you want — if you took time to have the cast on your show you’d know. A cr**ker paid you to do your own show and you’re going to belittle us. Wendy, you forgot where you came from!

Anyway... Things seem to be looking up for Ms. Michelle. It's great to finally see things move in a positive direction for her.

#NEWMUSIC: Beyonce - Standing On The Sun REMIX ft. Mr. Vegas

Beyonce's 'Standing on the Sun' surfaces online in a new remix. Listen here.

The remix to the popular leaked track surfaced online, and was confirmed as the official remix by Dancehall legend, Mr. Vegas, who makes an appearance on the track.

Listen below:



I'm enjoying the remix. Loving the addition of Beyonce's rap verse and Dancehall legend, Mr. Vegas. I still prefer the original to this remix. If it was more towards the live version Beyonce performs, it would be pure perfection.

Tank, Ginuwine & Tyrese Address Their Awkward Performance

After their recent performance on 'The Couch', members of R&B super-group TGT received a lot of backlash, especially Ginuwine.

Throughout the awkward performance, Tank is seen laughing uncontrollably. Ginuwine is seen twitching and making awkward facial expressions. And Tyrese seemed not impressed at it all. The three members took to their official Twitter accounts to address the hilarities.

#NEWVIDEO: Kelly Rowland - Dirty Laundry

Finally. It's Here. Check out the visuals for Kelly Rowland's controversial track, Dirty Laundry.

Kelly Rowland pours out her heart as she reflects on a past filled with jealousy, insecurity and abuse. Kelly plays out a humiliating dinner where she is doused with red wine. Sarah McColgan directs.

Dirty Laundry is Kelly's latest single from the album, Talk A Good Game.



Powerful, beautiful, and honest. All reflective in this amazing visual. Pure perfection. It's obvious that a lot of thought was put into this visual. Very evident in the editing. For as long as we have waited for this video, Kelly and the team deliver exceeding expectation. Finally!

#NEWMUSIC: Chris Brown - Love More ft. Nicki Minaj

Chris Brown finally drops the full audio for Love More featuring rapper Nicki Minaj.

The love making anthem was previously previewed in his performance at this years BET Awards. Love More acts as the third official single from Chris Brown's upcoming album 'X', due August 26. Single available for purchase tomorrow.

Listen below:



Love this song. Instantly addicted. One of Nicki Minaj's better features as of recent. I can jut imagine the video! Ugh!

#NEWVIDEO: Christina Aguilera & Alejandro Fernandez – Hoy Tengo Ganas De Ti

Check out the new music video for Alejandro Fernandez featuring Christina Aguilera, Hoy Tengo Ganas De Ti. The first single from his upcoming new album "Confidencias".

In the five minute clip, Fernandez plays a dark and brooding leading man. Leading lady Christina looks hot as ever, as she is featured baring cleavage in a tight little dress while strolling around the mansion.

The track is actually a cover of a 1975 Spanish hit, which is confirmed as the main theme of Salvador Mejías Alejandre’s new soap opera La Tempestad.



This collaboration is pure genius. After the lack-luster performance of her latest effort Lotus, it's good to see X Tina killing the charts with this one. The track jumped straight to number one on Mexican iTunes and was certified platinum in just 17 days. Bravo!

#NEWMUSIC: Ariana Grande - Baby I [FULL]

You've heard the preview, it's now time for it in full. Check out Ariana Grande's latest single, Baby I.

"It's out early! Enjoy, I love you," Ariana wrote on her official Twitter account.

The single is available for purchase, so get your copy NOW! Listen below:


The way she delivers the last 1/3 of the track is amazing. The production, along with the vocal stylings, are very reminiscent of classic 90s R&B. Her album 'Truly Yours' is due early September.

Watch Tank, Ginuwine & Tyrese's Awkward 'I Need' Performance

What was deemed to be an R&B force to be reckoned with, has turned into a comic-fest as TGT take to the mic in a very awkward televised performance.

Tank, Ginuwine and Tyrese took to WLNY's 'The Couch' to perform their latest single 'I Need', where Ginuwine seemed awkwardly fidgety. Throughout the performance, Ginuwine gave weird facial expressions and twitched from time to time. The overall performance was weak, as Tyrese and Tank tried to carry the whole performance.

See what I mean below:



I couldn't help but laugh. This whole performance was so odd. Ginuwine's facial expressions are serving withdrawal realness, Tank is over there in the back laughing and poor Tyrese seems pissed. LMFAO They really need to get it together. I can't wait for the explanation for this. LOL!

#NSFW: Lady Gaga Poses Nude For 'V' Magazine + ARTPOP Promo Video

Lady Gaga revs up hype for upcoming album ARTPOP with the surfacing of a very #NSFW photo.

Living up to her fame and notoriety, the provocative singer leaves very little to the imagination in this skin baring promo pic for ‘V’ magazine. Shot by famed photographers Inez and Vindooh, the pic was released via Twitter to rev up excitement for the rest of the shoot, which will arrive next month.

In a later tweet by Inez Van Lamsweerde, a video was posted featuring leaked footage of a teeth sucking Lady Gaga glaring gazingly into the lens. Seemingly, an ARTPOP visual.

ARTPOP is due November 11. You have been warned.

Fantasia Returns To Broadway In ‘After Midnight’

Fantasia Barrino is returning to Broadway where she will be the first of a rotating roster of guest star headliners in After Midnight.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the musical revue celebrates Duke Ellington's days at Harlem's legendary Cotton Club, and will have a rotation of headliners to mimic the big names that graced the Cotton Club's stage at its peak.

Barrino previously proved to be a Broadway box office draw with the 2005 musical "The Color Purple." After the Grammy-winning singer joined the show in April 2007, the flagging production saw a 40 percent sales rise.

"After Midnight" will begin preview performances on October 18, with an official opening scheduled for November 3. Fantasia is slated to perform with the revue through February 9, 2014.

Get money Fanny!

#NEWVIDEO: GiantKilla - Roc Solid ft. Travant

Check out the brand new visuals for GiantKilla's 'Roc Solid'. This time swapping out Rolexx for singer Travant.

The Siavani directed visuals follow the journey of a troubled young woman. The clip opens up to an argument in a car, to where she is ridiculed and put down by an angry male, who I will assume is her boyfriend. We then see her walking down a street to where she's met by two people handing out pamphlets. Which are later determined later as students handing out prospectus'. We see her journey through her studies to where she finally graduates.

GiantKilla's scenes and lyrics play narrative to the story being played out.

Watch below:


An amazing effort by GiantKilla and the team. A very encouraging and solid anthem for those in need of some sort of direction in life. I'm hopeful that this will set the standard of what's to come from the award winning artist. Just wish he'd consider changing his name.

The overall message in the clip was closed out by a message from the 'It’s not OK' family violence Campaign, where GiantKilla joins suit in efforts to bring awareness to the cause.

Rihanna Goes Topless For 'Rogue'

Set to release her fourth fragrance this year, Rihanna goes topless for Rogue's newly released ad campaign.

Riri strikes a fierce pose seated on a wooden floor. In a sharp pair of stilettos, her strategically placed legs are seemingly leant on a bottle of Rogue. The bare breasted bajan goddess covers up slightly by crossing her arms.

Ms Fenty continues to push the envelope and will continue to reign as one of the baddest chicks in the game. Much like her ROC sister Beyonce, this will continue 'til the rest catch up.

Stay mad!

#NEWMUSIC: Ariana Grande - Baby I [Snippet]

Ariana Grande recently took to Twitter to announce the name and release date of her forthcoming single, "Baby I," with a snippet of the track surfacing days later.

"Baby I" is the follow up to Grande's chart-topping hit "The Way". A single to proceed her forthcoming debut album, previously titled "Daydreamin'", now titled "Truly Yours".

The single will premiere July 22, with her recently announced 'Listening Sessions' summer tour(US), kicking off August 13th.



Sounds like the uncanny Mariah comparisons will continue. This track has Mariah Carey written all over it. The vocals, the arrangement, the production.

In saying all that, Ms Grande pulls it off. Serving young Mariah Carey realness. The production is a little too much for me. The richness of her vocals, not to mention those vocal acrobatics, make the song tolerable.

I must say, this sounds a lot like Mariah's unreleased track 'Secret Love' from back in the The Emancipation Of Mimi days. Hmm...

Sneak Peek Into 'Tamar & Vince' Season 2

WETV has released the teaser for the new season of 'Tamar & Vince.'

As the third season of #BFV comes to a close, we're hit with a sneak peek into the upcoming season of Tamar & Vince.

This season we will see Tamar preparing for motherhood as she tries to maintain the career she waited years to have. Vince and co. come along for the Tamar ride, only to try Tamar's every last living nerve. LOL!

Tamar & Vince officially returns to screens in September.

So Keri Hilson Made A Song Saying Sorry To Beyonce...

According to Timbaland, He and Keri Hilson collab'd on a track titled Sorry, where he addresses his fallout with Jay Z and Keri Hilson apologizes to Beyonce.

If you remember, back in 2008 Keri Hilson wrote a track titled Turnin' Me Off, a remix to her single, Turnin' Me On. The remix leaked online and featured the lyrics, “Your vision cloudy if you think that you the best/ You can dance, she can sing, but need to move it to the left (to the left)/ She need to go have some babies/ She need to sit down, she fake … Go ’head and tell these folks how long I’ve been writing your songs/ I been putting you on/ Just check the credits, ho, and if you want me, you can find me in Decatur, ho.”

Since then, Keri has received nothing but negative press and a rumoured blacklisting in the industry by King Bey herself.

In a recent interview with Revolt TV, Timbaland talked about the 'Sorry' track and Keri's involvement in it. “I got this one song that I did with Keri on my album called ‘Sorry,’ and Keri actually tells the story about the whole Beyoncé thing and how she was sorry about it because she wasn’t really talking about Beyoncé but other people.”



Interesting. I would definitely love to hear the track. If it indeed makes the final cut of Timbaland's album, I hope Keri never addresses it again... Ever!

Cory Monteith Cause Of Death Revealed

Cory Monteith‘s cause of death has been revealed as heroin and alcohol, according to TMZ.

The British Columbia Coroners Service have detailed the autopsy and toxicology report of the Glee star as having “mixed drug toxicity, involving heroin and alcohol.”

Cory had struggled with drug use in the past, and checked himself into rehab earlier this year. He completed the rehab program in April and seemed to be in good spirits as he prepared to begin working on Glee's upcoming fifth season.

The British Columbia Coroners Service has released the following statement about Monteith's cause of death:

"There is no evidence to suggest Mr. Monteith's death was anything other than a most-tragic accident. Mr. Monteith's family has been made aware of the circumstances surrounding the death. On behalf of family members, the BC Coroners Service asks that the media respect their privacy at this difficult time."

Continued thoughts go out to Cory‘s family, friends, and Glee cast members.

#NEWMUSIC: Lil' Kim - Looks Like Money

In celebration for her birthday, Lil' Kim gifted her fans with a new track titled, Looks Like Money.

The hook stuttering, beat thumping track has Kimberly spitting verses about making all kinds of money. "See me lookin' like a hundred mill' / like Lewinsky I'm tryna blow a bill".

This of coarse was the rumoured comeback single a couple of years ago, which obviously never saw the light of day until today.

"Here's just a LITTLE gift from ME to U on MY birthday! #LooksLikeMoney", she posted on Twitter alongside the free dowload link.



I'm not fully in love with the track but I can appreciated new music from the rap veteran. The beat definitely is for those who like to #TurnUp, and the Lewinsky line is pure genius. Looking forward to hearing more from the original Queen B.
