I know how some ofyou all are giving it their all to be in the top ten on nutang, while others don't really have to do much in order to get on the top ten. Its the hard work that they put in just like you that got them to the top, so my advice is to keep adding yourself to traffic sites, and you will be in the top sooner or later. You really don't have to do much every time you cash out and your in the top ten because you will get your money back so quick. I cashed out the first time like six months ago at $84 dollars, and in May 08 at $62 dollars, now I'm almost back to $5 dollars. Keep going and you be earning cash just like The Zebra, now that's amazing.

NBA LIVE 07 - IN STORES NOW
Jay-Z - Press Conference
Rapper and Def Jam label president Jay-Z is touring several countries in Africa this week making stops in Tanzania, Angola, Ghana, South Africa and Nigeria.
When Jay-Z performs in the Nigerian capital city Lagos this Saturday, he will share the bill with nine Nigerian artists, including female rapper Word MC, who is currently one of the hottest artists on the charts of Nigeria's flourishing hip-hop scene.
"To be mentioned alongside him at all - I feel privileged," Word MC told the BBC. "I just want to go out and sell Word MC and sell Africa with the best of my ability. I want it to be a crazy, Afrocentric multimedia experience. I want people to come and go, 'Wow' - we went to Nigeria and this is what we saw."
While 50 Cent was accused of failing to pay African artists their proper respects when he toured Africa, Jay-Z is being applauded for his inclusion of local artists and the artists seem to be just as excited about the visit as audience members.
"It's going to be my first time seeing him," renowned Nigerian rapper Rugged Man told BBC World Service, "I'm hoping he will give Nigerians their money's worth... this is a different crowd to what he's used to."
Getting their money's worth comes at a high price. VIP tickets for the show have been priced at $800 and regular tickets cost $200, so there have been plenty of complaints about the expense of attending the show being too much for many Nigerians to even consider.
"A lot of people have chosen to call it selective audience participation," Journalist Henry Ekachegu told the BBC. "How many people can afford this? People are struggling to get through daily living and the prices are like this?"
Still, Ekachegu acknowledged that Saturday's show in Lagos has generated "a huge media buzz" in the country, leaving many Nigerians feeling that the country has been deemed worthy of recognition as a cultural center for show business.
The African leg of Jay-Z's tour is part of an international stretch of shows that has already visited European countries including France, Holland, England and Germany and will also reach Asia and Australia later this month.

In the meantime we've got some new joints by Ruben Studdard, Kanye Westfeaturing John Mayer, Janet Jackson and some remixes you may have forgotten about.
Janet's latest leak, "Roll Witchu," is a smooth R&B track. A lot of people are feeling it, but it's only going to be on the Japanese version of 20Y.O. as a bonus track. Have a listen:
What say you? Rush it or flush it?
(anybody hear Janet on Miss Jones' Hot 97 Morning Show today?)
Ruben Studdard is trying to find an entry on your playlist. On "Don't Quit On Me" he teamed up with Swizz Beatz. Check it out:
What say you? Are we doing anything with Ruben? Should he just stay put where he is?
Rush it or flush it? You gotta admit this track is a good look for Ruben.
The last of this week's new joints may not be new to some of you. I found this Kanye West track that features John Mayer called "Bittersweet". It's on Kanye's Second Semester mixtape. Kinda short, but it's Kanye so at least give it a listen if you haven't heard it already.
Y'all know the drill... RUSH or FLUSH?
Also, music fiend nOvaslim put together another SOHH Soulful Mix for us, this time it's all remixes. Check out his blend of remixes. It's over 100 minutes of remixes of a lot of old favorites that you've either forgotten about or that you've never heard.
Remember when a remix was really a remix. Chicks like Mariah Carey would go back into the studio and record brand new vocals, sometimes new lyrics for tracks. Mariah is the queen of the remix. Mary J. is up there too. I can't stand a remix where it's just the vocals sped up or slowed down and simply awkwardly laid over a new beat. Do some work mothafuggas.... get back to doing good remixes. Stop putting Yung Joc and Dem Franchize Boyz on your original tracks. Y'all know Monica's "Everytime The Beat Drops" woulda been hot if it were a remix of something that flexes her vocals a little more.
