Sooooooo....two albums in one year and selling them each over a million is not that bad. Rapper Eminem received 10 grammy nominations yesterday. Bruno Mars came in second with seven nominations, Jay Z and Lady Gaga came in third with six grammy nods. The Roots and my homie Cee-Lo had four nominations.

Kurtis was tryna BLOOOOOOW!
Hip Hop pioneer and legend Kurtis Blow was busted with some weed at the LAX earlier this morning, according to TMZ reports. It was only less than an ounce, so he just got ticketed. But I do remember Kurtis' song back in tha day "White LINES"...lets just say I'm glad he's not off that anymore. BUT THESE ARE THE BREAKS!
After All the bad Luck She's had with the Brothaz...I knew this was bound to happen.
Rumor has it that this ol' chip on the block is Kelly Rowland's new boy toy...oops..I mean..old boy toy. They say he is at least in his 50s but homie is caked up!
They won't let Blade Go!
I tell ya, first Ronald Isley...now this! Don't they have anything else better to do than to lock up someone who was behind on their taxes? The judge is ordering Snipes to surrender so he can do a three-year bid in prison for the IRS. Damn! We got people killing people for crying out loud!
Congrats to Kanye and Nicki!
Well first week sales are in..and these two didn't do bad at all. Kanye took the top of the billboard charts selling more than 500,000 copies, while Nicki took second with almost 400,000. Despite the rants and what the public thinks of him, Kanye is standing by his word and keeping us filled with G.O.O.D. Music. And despite the bubbling beef between Miss Minaj and Lil' Kim. Nicki has been spending time just celebrating and enjoying her success. Kim on the other hand, market-wise, this is her time to step in. Honestly, I really don't think Nicki cares, even besides that Black Friday diss that Kim put out.
TRAPPED In the Closet: Dialogue 1
From: Anonymous
I haven't been communicating that well with my girlfriend because things have been really frustrating for me about the way she has been acting. First off, let me take it back to my birthday. Me and this chick have two kids together and one of them was cheerleading for a little league football team. Me, being the parent I am, decide to help out and take my child to practice while they're lazy mother makes excuses for herself. Well I happen to meet another parent at practice and we talk like two adults, nothing more than that. So I go back home and tell my girl about how I met this parent at practice and how we talked. I tell her how this FEMALE needs a job and I would try to help her out because my job was hiring at the plant. A day after celebrating my birthday with my girl, she calls me up on the phone (While I'm at work, mind you)...cusses me out asking for her keys to her place and everything. I played calm because I didn't even know what the hell she was talking about. After she threw her temper tantrum, she finally told me that the parent I met at cheerleading practice was looking at her funny and she knows...because of my history that I had something to do with it.
Okay, Okay, I'll back up a lil' bit. Me and my girl had some bad times as far as she went with me and trust because of how I use to talk to or flirt with other females. In the midst of all that, we have come back together as one and realize what went wrong in our relationship. Therefore, in short terms, I'm not the same person I use to be.
Back to the story. So after I calm her down and tell her that the only contact I had with this person was by e-mail. Hell, I was even willing to show her and e-mail the girl just to prove I was telling the truth. But my girl still was upset and BAM! I didn't hear from her for three days. AND...it happened to be the weekend. It also happened to be the weekend the her other baby's father was coming down for a game (he's only been to one game and lives less than two hours away...hmmm?)
Finally, I call her on Sunday and everything was A okay! What the fuck? Am I missing something here. We talked about it. But she kept talking like everything was fine. This really bothered me because she said nothing about what went on over the course of those three days.
Do you think that anything happen? Or could she be hiding something?
