How come rappers never stopped by my school when I was enrolled?

One of our favorite rappers, Ludacris, in conjunction with the people behind the Grammy Awards, stopped by Clark University yesterday for “Grammy Career Day”. Over 300 metro Atlanta high school students from 10 different high schools will forever have the experience of meeting Atlanta’s multitalented rapper, producer, and CEO of DTP records burned in their minds. Luda headlined the event that is geared towards placing students in direct contact with industry pros, for the next two weeks in various cities leading up to the Grammy Awards broadcast on February 11th.

The day began with a super-sized panel featuring Ludacris, R&B singer-songwriter Lyfe Jennings, jazz guitarist Earl Klugh, engineer Phil Tan, songwriter Tab Nkhereanye, record label exec Dee Dee Murray and singer, songwriter and vocal coach Jan Smith. This was followed by smaller music workshops, lunch and the closing performance by Shareefa, who sang her single, "I Need A Boss.”

Ludacris had this to say about the event:


"The questions these kids asked are the same kinds of things I wanted to know at their age, and there was no one around like that panel to answer them for me. That's why I do things like this; to make it better for the next hungry young kid. The talent out there just waiting to be bigger than me. And all they need is this knowledge."

Big shout out to Ludacris for taking care of the kids!!

Talk to y’all lata

Man... I been amp'd about Diddy and Keyshia Cole's duet "Last Night" ever since we got a sneak peek of Key Key laying down the vocals in the booth on her BET reality show.



I am mad that Diddy and the label didn't see enough heat with this record to make it the first or second single at least. I believe it could have made the difference with Diddy being certified Gold and being certified Platinum, which his album has yet to achieve.

Nevertheless... Diddy is Diddy and Keyshia... well, she is Keyshia and I LOVE IT!
Yesterday, Natasha over at YBF ran a first look at Diddy's little girls and long-time girlfriend Kim Porter from the Canada's Hello! magazine.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet the new Paris & Nicki, Paris & Nicole, Paris & Britney.... well you get it. These girls will be amongst the first generation of children of black entertainment moguls.




Also in the clique is Damon Dash's son, Diddy's other kids, Jamie Fox's daughter and them. Look out red carpet 2021!

I guess with this single and this new birth.... third time is the charm. SOHH, uh... yea. Vote for this video on your countdown of choice.

But while you were wondering if the 132,000 people who bought Pretty Ricky's new cd, Late Night Special, sending them to the top of the Billboard charts, want a refund, we were wondering where Beyonce was the night of the SAG Awards?

Here is our list:
SOHH SOULFUL TOP 5 SONGS OF THE MOMENT!

5. Brandy - "Best Friend"
While homegirl finds some direction after all the drama around her car accident, she'll need her lil brother now more than ever.

4. Trey WRONGZ! - "Wonder Woman"
Listen to it here. It's from the forthcoming... Trey Day. (and y'all get on my case for always referencing Bey.)


3. Musiq - "Buddy" Remix featuring Ja Rule and Fat Joe
Check it, check it, check it out!

2. Janet Jackson - "Take Care"
Simply because since we haven't heard much from her lately... it's like farewell.

1. R. Kelly - "Don't Let Go"
This track is from the Daddy's Little Girl soundtrack.

Ok, sohh E! is running a show called "Blvd Of Broken Dreams" featuring Latavia and LeToya, formerly of Destiny's Child.

Can I just say.... DAMN!



Can I also just say... DAMN, Rudy Huxtable looks good! Remember that ugly stage she went through towards the end of the "Cosby Show?"

But yea...

Since LetoyaOnline.com won't allow me to embed this video clip, click here to watch it.

IMMA NEED Y'ALL TO WATCH THAT CLIP!

LeToya and Latavia talk about the time when Beyonce was driving a Jaguar and LeToya said she wasn't even pulling in enough money to pay her cell phone bill. It also talks about how when Latavia was sick and in the hospital, and Mathew Knowles had her replaced for the European leg of their tour.

The two talk about that famous instance when they were watching BET and the announcer said, now the world premiere of Destiny's Child "Say My Name," and they didn't even know that they were a.) kicked out the group, and b.) that a video had be shot under their noses.

Ladies and Gentlemen, meet lip sync'ers Michelle and Farrah!

Most importantly, LeToya reveals that Mathew Knowles made them sign an exclusive management agreement before he would allow them to sign their record contract with SONY. Like literally. Toya claims that at the moment he laid out the contract from SONY, he said "before you sign this (recording contract).... you must sign this (exclusive management deal)."

In all fairness, LeToya says that she feels that Bey and Kelly were lied to about the issues. She says her major issue was the misappropriation of funds and lack of consideration that she and Latavia were given.

As you know LeToya debuted at #1 with her subsequent self titled solo album.

New music from Latavia and Farrah Franklin is in the works. *crickets*

MTO brought it to my attention about Soulja Boy getting robbed by his so-called friend Q. Q stole $45,000 from Soulja Boy and went on tape to grab about it. An in an exclusive interview with WSHH to respond to the video.

Watch the video of the guy who stole $45,000 from Soulja Boy



Soulja Boy responds about all the drama



My advice to Soulja Boy is to watch who you trust because people will get you when they see you letting your guard down. You can't trust everybody when you get a little money.
