NEW MUSIC: Justin Timberlake X Jay-Z ‘Suit & Tie’
01/14/2013 •

JT BACK!! Justin Timberlake hasn't put out any music since 2008 and last night he returned with the help of Jay-Z. "Suit & Tie," is a horn-tinged track, that sounds like it was produced by Timberland. The song starts off with a slow-drawl intro followed by a funky fast-paced beat that has Justin's falsetto on full display. In an open letter, JT revealed his new album, The 20/20 Experience, will arrive this year. In my opinion he sounds great, so I say welcome back JT!! Click the link and Listen to Justin Timberlake's "Suit & Tie" . Thoughts?

According to HB
-
Jay-Z has allegedly warned Chris Brown not to hurt Rihanna again or he will ruin his career. The couple who recently rekindled their romance are expected to go public next month and apparently Jay isn’t too happy about it.
-
Rihanna’s boss had a little sit down with Chris and told him that if he hurt Rihanna again, physically or emotionally, that his career would be over.
-
It's being reported that Jay invited (Chris Brown and Rihanna) as a couple to his concert in New York and backstage he called Chris to one side and told him if he hurts Rihanna, whether emotionally or physically, it’s over for him. He’ll ensure it will result in the end of his career.
-
Not sure if it's 100% true...but I do hope Jay put the fear in him to not lay hands on her again. I hope their reunion is for the best and not the worst. God bless them both.
Brooklyn Nets Cheerleaders Uniforms Unveiled: Inspired By “Street Fashion”
-
Forget colorful pompons and bright hair ribbons — black and “stretch leatherette” is the tough and sexy look for the Brooklynette dancers, who will perform during halftime at the Barclays Center to cheer on the Brooklyn Nets.
-
“The uniforms are feminine and strong,” said the costumes’ designer, David Dalrymple, who has worked with fashion icon Patricia Field for decades, collaborating on costumes for “Sex and the City” and “The Devil Wears Prada.”
-
Instead of hair scrunchies, the Brooklynettes have boots, studded fingerless gloves, zippers and latex.
-
“This isn’t palm trees and sunshine. It’s New York City, and it’s Brooklyn. It’s a different sensibility. We go hard,” the designer said.
-
Dalrymple, 45, had designed the red and blue costumes for the Nets dancers in New Jersey and was hired to give the outfits an edgy makeover to commemorate the team’s move to Brooklyn.
-
“They had an empty closet we had to fill,” he said.
-
The Brooklynettes collection consists of seven full costumes.
-
“They have a jumpsuit, a neoprene scuba blazer with sequin leggings, a little cropped warm-up jacket, and painted sequin leggings,” Dalrymple said.
-
The squad of 20 dancers will debut its wardrobe when the Nets preseason begins next month. The Nets regular-season opener, against the Knicks, is at the Barclays Center on Nov. 1.
-
“I do a lot of clothes for people in music,” said Dalrymple, who has designed costumes for Beyoncé and Mary J. Blige as well as the famous nude diamond-adorned body suit Britney Spears wore on stage at the MTV Music Awards in 2000.
-
“My look is very pop star, or for the person who feels like a pop star,” he said.
-
“For these costumes, we needed things that these women can dance and move in, but we wanted to bring in street elements. We needed to find that bridge of street fashion that can actually work on the court.”
-
Well alright!!! I'm not feeling these uniforms at all!! Good & Hood came to mind when I first saw the pictures. But hey it's a Brooklyn thing, it may take some getting use to!! Are You Feeling Them?

[MAGAZINE MADNESS] Jay-Z’s ‘The Blueprint’ Covers The Source October Issue
09/12/2011 • 
On September 20th, 2011 Barnes and Noble and I will have a date. Everyone knows that Jay-Z is my Elvis so the purchase of this issue of The Source is a no brainer. The Source celebrates the 10th Anniversary of Jay-Z’s classic album “The Blueprint’ with a tribute issue. The issue dedicated to the classic album which was released on 9/11, includes a “Blueprint Feature Package” written by Elliott Wilson of Rap Radar. “After his classic 1996 debut, Reasonable Doubt, ignited the streets, dazzled the critics, but didn’t move enough units, Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter scrapped his bad marketing plan for a one-album discography and decided to drop new masterful work each and every year. He emerged center stage with a fervent desire to be #1 in the post “Pac-Biggie” era. No MC ever wanted the throne as much as Hov. If consistency kills, he was the Son of Sam, and by the time he got to his sixth album, his frustrated competitors were firing shots back.”-Elliott Wilson. Be sure to get your copy! Via more

VMA’s: Moments+Winners+Photos
08/29/2011 • From Beyonce's belly revealing performance to Gaga dressed in drag. The VMA's 2011 were pretty solid this year. Chris Brown gave an air flying performance. Nicki Minaj arrived on the red carpet rocking a medical mask as if she had SARS*side eye*! And speaking of medical, the up and coming talented artist Jessie J performed in a medical boot all night long. I LMAO the whole night! She even had bedazzled crutches. But that takes nothing away from her voice which is amazing. Like I mentioned before on a pervious post Jayz and Kanye West performed "Otis". I loved it. Kanye West was a very humble soul at this year's award show. Check out more pics and list of winners inside.. more
