Oh Summins Coming...! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Without a doubt the best news I have heard this year so far, the upcoming release of Timbaland's next album "Shock Value", I have personally already preordered this and my predictions are that this album will be my album of the year, if not of the century lol. It is reported that it will feature the following artists:Nicole ScherzingerM.I.A.Keri HilsonFall Out BoyKanye WestThe HivesShe Wants RevengeLudacrisJay-ZElton JohnMissy ElliottLil WayneJustin Timberlake50 CentNelly FurtadoDr. DreBjörk I'm most interested in hearing the reunited force that is Tim & Missy. There is no one else on the planet that would dare try to bring all these different styles together on one LP, and I personally cannot wait to get my hands on it. The first single from the album, "Give It To Me" featuring vocals from Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake, who Tim has already produced for back in 2006, has already been leaked onto the net (not that I would download it illegally lol) and it sounds fantastic.Trag
Pac's Life? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Following the upcoming release of the Tupac Sakur biographical movie "Pac's Life" and also the new album of the same name, I felt it might be time to ask the question, is it time to let Tupac rest for good?I fully appreciate the man that was Tupac , he was inspirational and talented in a massive amount of ways, a poet, singer, rapper, songwriter, actor and all round activist, he was a man who did things his way and stood up for what he believed in. I think that it may be time to stop whatever commercial media train that is driving what I feel is an attempt to cash in on the Tupac fans rather than a real tribute to a great man.This album is full of well produced decent sounding singles with contributions from popular artists of our time, including the unique stylings of rappers T.I and Ludacris as well as vocal talents of Keyshia Cole and Ashanti. Even with this ability at hand this album never once feels like "Tupac", at some points the samples of Pac are frankly terribly dubbed onto

Here We Go.The fight started with the SOV criticised Allen : "I'm not hating on her but someone like Lily Allen, just 'cause her dad's famous, doesn't have to work as hard as someone like me".Lily hit back saying: "In response to Miss Sovereign's comments, I'v spoken to my dad and he says he'd be happy to adopt you if you think it will give you a leg up",e which is probably the most intelligent thing Lily has ever said, I wonder who thought that up for her?I for one would like to see the two have a real fight, I predict sovereign prints in someone's face. lol.
