Video After The Jump...


Rihanna is lending her star power to raise awareness for the global water crisis. The red-haired singer has partnered with UNICEF for its Tap Project, educating and engaging consumers about the lack of access to safe, clean drinking water for nearly 900 million people worldwide.

Other celebrities appearing in the public service campaign include Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Adrian Grenier, Dwight Howard, and Robin Williams. Each star will bottle tap water from their homes for a sweepstakes where entrants can win a limited edition “Celebrity Tap Pack,” a custom-designed case that includes the special celebrity bottles and helps to raise money for UNICEF’s sanitation and clean water programs.

The goal of the UNICEF Tap Project is to create awareness for the water deficit and encourage the public to take action to reduce the number of children dying daily from waterborne illnesses, the second-highest cause of preventable childhood deaths in the world.

Jay-Z & Beyonce To Duet On Detox?

12348810062?profile=originalOne of the hardest things for Dr Dre to do these days is pair down the list of songs and features for 'Detox.'

One person we were pretty sure would be on the disc was Jay-Z. The track "Under Pressure" brought Brooklyn and Compton together laster year. Now there's a rumor Houston could be added to that mix.  Beyonce and Jay might collaborate together with Dre for the project.

"Jay and Dre have recorded their verses with the chorus left open for Beyoncé to sing," a source told The Sun "The producer has worked on Detox for over a decade. He wanted the couple together."

It will Be Beyonce and Jay's 1st song together since 2007's "Pray" off Jigga's 'American Gangster' LP.

Pusha T’s Fear of God mixtape artwork

12348809072?profile=original

I think artwork in hip-hop has been reborn…

After giving the fans a preview of the project, Complex found Pusha T’s Fear of God artwork in the palm of their hands and dropped it as if it had just came out of the oven. Yeah, the artwork is hot (different context here). Hopefully, the artwork (and the “Cook It Down” music video) will hold you down until the monstrous project makes it way to your hard drive on Monday.

Dudes have really started to disrespect former Death Row Records CEO, Suge Knight.

Knight is having all kinds of issues trying to handle n*ggas that just want to test him for the hell of it. Apparently getting knocked out at club's messes up your tough guy reputation.

Suge's latest scrap happened last Saturday (March 12) at Aria Hotel in Vegas. A little guy walks up to Knight and says "I can take you" prompting Knight to start throwing blows according to TMZ.

After a couple of minutes of swinging and missing at each other, both parties get seperated and go on their own way.

Rihanna Makes the Move to 12-Bedroom House

12348814861?profile=original


Rihanna is moving on up to a house in the hills. The pop diva is about to settle down in a 12-bedroom modernist mansion that she purchased in April 2010, calling it her first real home.

The Bajan babe spent a few years learning the market before splurging on her dream property high above the hills of L.A. “I looked steady for two years, and it is way above the price I was looking for, but I loved it,” she told Vogue.

RiRi, who poses on the magazine’s April cover, went with a white motif for the bachelorette pad. “It is all white,” she continued, revealing accents that display her personal style. “There is a gun chandelier in the middle of the living room. In one room, I have this huge black-and-white painting of Bob Marley, and the wallpaper is green, yellow, and red, the African-flag colors.”

She won’t have too much time to enjoy her new crib, with plans to kick off her “LOUD” tour on June 4 at Baltimore’s 1st Mariner Arena. The trek, which features Cee Lo Green on the North American leg, will make its way to New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, and Madrid.

12348807463?profile=originalOne of the pioneers of the West Coast's g-funk sound has passed away.

According to the Long Beach Press-Telegram, 41-year old Nathanial Hale aka Nate Dogg has died from complications from multiple strokes..

The singer had suffered 2 strokes in the last several years. Last year Warren G made a video plea to fans asking for financial support for Nate.

Nate came into the game during the Death Row Records era with Snoop Dogg, Warren G and Tha Dogg Pound. Although he had several solo albums Nate will be most remembered for singing hooks and ushering the g-funk era when he and Warren-G dropped "Regulate".

Rihanna found a way to turn a horrible situation into a positive and she's more than willing to talk about it.

In the new issue of Vogue, Riri rehashes the Chris Brown assault situation, saying it gave he music an edge.

"It actually gave me a lot of liberation. What I mean is, I was able to tap into the personal part of my music. I started to tell stories through my music that were actually my stories.

"My album before that, there was still a little bit of protection, there was still an innocence to me. And what that time in my life did was kind of wake people up - it's not all a bed of roses. My life is like yours.

"It made me look at the world in a much bigger way because my life was suddenly superduper magnified; all eyes were on me. I needed that in my life to know how to say, 'F**k off!' To know how to keep my head high even in the worst of situations. I keep using the word unapologetic, but there's a freedom that has come with all of that. Where you feel like you don't have to make an excuse for being yourself."

In other Rihanna news, the singer has been rumored to be on a list of singers/actresses for 'The Bodyguard' remake.

12348818292?profile=originalFor a man who just pulled his career back from the brink of oblivion with mixtapes, the chance to drop a brand new official album must be a good feeling.

It's a feeling Chris Brown plans to hold onto all of 2011.

The 21-year old announced yesterday (March 14) at a listening party in L.A. that he would be putting out 2 'F.A.M.E.' albums this year according to The Boombox

"[This] is the first part of the 'F.A.M.E.' album," Chris announced. "I'm coming out with another album six months later."

A lot of artists attempt to put out 2 albums in one year, but it's difficult task on a major label. I think Chris's sequel disc will hinge on how the initial cd does retail wise.

12348814675?profile=original50 Cent unveiled another part of his plan for world domination by announcing an international distribution deal with PIAS.

After inking a North American distribution deal through EMI last year, this was the next logical step says Nikki Martin, Vice President of G-Unit Records and Entertainment.

"Last year we took the decision to restructure the label and begin to carve out it's own world-wide distribution, marketing and promotions strategy," Martin said. “After signing with EMI for North America we looked at who could help develop the brand in other key territories and we decided to partner with PIAS who shared our vision and passion for the music."

The PIAS group is headquartered in Brussels and has local offices in the UK, Germany, The Netherlands, France and Spain.

Gucci Mane Covers The Source

12348817860?profile=original


Gucci Mane shows his grill for the cover of The Source’s annual Green Issue. The feature is written by moi and hits newsstands March 22nd. Below is an excerpt of La Flare making the Forbes list last year.


Source: You don’t make Forbes by being stupid. Do you feel like people doubt your intelligence?

Gucci: Yeah. The critics and bloggers ridicule and scrutinize [but] it fuels my fire. I can’t say I want to enjoy all the

spoils of the game without being criticized. I actually welcome it as a part of success. I don’t want everybody to like me. So many people feel like I don’t deserve the things I got. I know I worked so hard for ‘em, so [criticism] makes me work even harder.

On a personal note, this is technically my first cover story. No (disrespect Lil’ Boosie). Shouts to Bonsu Thompson and the countless others along the way (Tiffany Chiles, Jack Erwin, Vanessa Satten, Rachelle Gauthier, Datwon Thomas, etc.) that have helped make this moment possible. You are appreciated.
