Ludacris New Drama And Music

Via GyantUnplugged:

Anybody remember the mild hoopla surrounding former Disturbing The Peace member Shawnna and her extremely shady business decision to leave the rap home that held her down through all the legalities and unsold CD’s? Well, it seems that her conniving ways have proven to be all too much for Ludacris and his team, and as a result she’s been unceremoniously dropped from the much hyped “Battle of the Sexes” project.

For those of you don’t recall, Shawnna chose to diss Luda and the DTP family for T-Pain’s Nappy Boy imprint.

While details are sketchy at the moment, not really, but I’m afraid to say too much, what is known is that instead of Luda teaming up with the Chicago-native for the co-ed inspired rap album – she’s been replaced with a plethora of young and old female MC’s.

Tenatively, rappers like Nicki Minaj, Lil Kim, Eve and a few others are being tapped for the project, which is set to hist stores in early 2010.

This bit of new information is in stark contrast to Shawnna’s recent statements at a recent comment where she tried to shoot down rumors of a rift:

I know y’all been hearing a lot of T-Pain rumors, ‘Shawnna ain’t f***** with Luda no more’ and all that sh*t. I just want y’all to know that I’m still f****** with Luda, that’s my n***a 100 percent man. We have Battle of the Sexes coming soon and I’m signing a new deal with T-Pain right there…I’m f****** with two real good n***** in the industry so I can’t help but win. But I can’t do s** without y’all support, you understand?

And Here Is Ludacris first single from the highly anticipated co-ed album, “Battle of Sexes, ” called “How Low Can You Go.” At least you know this will bump in the club.

Here is a leaked track from R&B artist Usher, called "Stay Down". ‘Raymond vs. Raymond is being "set up" right now so check out this track.
For me it's just okay. I may not leave the dance floor if this song came on (in hope of hearing a good song to follow)and I wouldn't get on the dance floor upon hearing this track either.
It's a Danja-produced track, and is real pop-ish. Not that that's a bad thing, just seems a little betta suited for the Chris Browns of the game. But he's gotta get in that market cuz that's what's selling right now, but he just has to do it in a more believable way, don't make it sound so forced.
Usher’s latest album ‘Raymond vs. Raymond’ is reportedly slated for a March 1st 2010 release after a slew of delays.

Destiny's Child Rreunite For Lawsuit

Via NY Daily News:


Destiny's Child is reuniting, but it's not exactly a happy occasion. Just ask Kelly Rowland.

We hear the singer is furious that she and former DC cohorts Beyoncé and Michelle Williams have to head to Chicago on Tuesday to face a copyright-infringement lawsuit for their song "Cater 2 U." The reason for her anger, besides the obvious? According to a source, Rowland blames the legal mess on Beyoncé's father - and his tactics for lining his daughter's pockets with cash.

"Matthew [Knowles] has a long history of trying to get songwriters to add Beyoncé's name to songs she didn't compose, just so she gets publishing royalties," the insider says of Daddy Knowles, who managed the group. "That information eventually became widely known, and now anyone who wants to accuse Kelly or Destiny's Child of stealing material has ammunition to file a lawsuit. Kelly is livid."

Indeed, Beyoncé's songwriting credits have been publicly questioned several times. In 2006, for example, she declared she wrote the breakup anthem "Irreplaceable" "for [her] girls" - causing singer/songwriter Ne-Yo to angrily announce that he penned all the lyrics for the song, then got minimal help from Beyoncé on the melody. But even that may have been generous: Rumors swirled that B's composer credit was added only as a courtesy.

Adding fuel to the Rowland/Knowles fire: Kelly used to employ Matthew as her manager; she terminated him in January. "She and Beyoncé remained cordial at first," our source says. "But things have gotten tense since Kelly griped that Matthew is the cause of this lawsuit."

The proof? When Billboard mag recently saluted Beyoncé with a Woman of the Year award, Williams was on hand to fete her former cohort. Rowland was not.

"Kelly isn't happy having to fight these allegations," continues the source. "She feels as though this is just another mess that Matthew got them into while only trying to serve the sole interest of his daughter."

Kelly Rowland did not respond to calls for comment by deadline. Matthew Knowles would only say, "The lawsuit is questioning the validity of the writers involved. I am not a writer on this song."

R' KELLY TO TREY SONGZ "ELEPHANTS DON’T SWAT FLIES"

So now that he has a album coming out R. Kelly is now responding to Trey Songz and his diss record from months back.





He has this to say now:

When an artist starts to tell a person who has been hot for 20 years in the business, and still hot, still producing and writing with Grammys and every award that you can imagine they could have won…. and you haven’t won any,and you start giving your opinion, you’ll end up looking bad to anyone that has any kind of sense. To give me your opinion on what I should do musically, first of all you should have called me….well really you shouldn’t have. BUT, If you’re gonna step out on that limb, which is very thin, you should make a personal call if this is a personal feeling….now if you’re trying to sell an album, and start a beef then you make it public…but you have to be very careful with that. Because why would I tell Stevie Wonder, even though he doesnt have an album, you need to do this and that….or talk about Stevie Wonder. I would not do that. Because Stevie Wonder has fans too….just as Stevie Wonder and Charlie Wilson and Donny Hathaway and Sam Cooke paved the way for the Rkellys and Aaron Halls and the Dreams, and everybody else. As we come up, we’re paving the way for the next person….but you cannot talk about someone who has done what they’ve done in this industry, which has changed the industry…and still doing it. You’re trying to throw a rock on the top of the Sears Tower…”

Fortunately, I am smart enough and wise enough that I don’t need to retaliate to sell my album, to be a bigger man or tougher guy. I don’t have to retaliate or do any of that. I’m going to tell you this and I want you to listen. ELEPHANTS DON’T SWAT FLIES…”
