Ciara

SOHH recently caught up with Ciara in Las Vegas during All Star Weekend to clear up rumors of her dating G-Unit rapper 50 Cent.

Rumors of a budding relationship between the two started when New York's Daily News reported that Ciara was spotted in LeFrak City hiding in the back seat of 50's car, trying not be seen by onlookers. One source even described the pair as "a new underground couple."

I was in LA getting ready for my video 'Like A Boy,' so that was impossible," Ciara told SOHH exclusively. "He's cool people. I got a lot of respect for him. We worked together on my album. We did a song called 'Can't Leave him Alone' and he's just an amazing person, a very hard working person and there's a lot of great things you can say about him, but we weren't in Lefrak City or wherever that was."

"Like A Boy" is the second single from Ciara's certified platinum CD, The Evolution.

Ok, so I got this press release, on Young Jeezy from his company, Corporate Thugz Entertainment. Since some of you feel that I’m a hater on the southern prince—Jeezy, I’m posting this information on SOHH Atlanta. See Nick I don’t hate on ya boy all the time!

Multi-platinum Def Jam recording artist, Young Jeezy, asked visitors of his label's website (www.corporatethugzent.com) what they wanted to hear next from him and his camp. The poll, which was conducted over a 3-month period, returned an overwhelming response for one project: USDA.



Now, Mr. 17-5 is back in the lab cooking up what could be the best rap group collaboration since NWA. Jeezy has been in the studio around the clock with his two counterparts, Atlanta native Slick Pulla, also widely known as the Trapublican, who made his debut on Jeezy's first album, Thug Motivation 101, and Panama City's own Blood Raw, who has been creating his stamp from the
streets to the stage as Mr. Florida since 2000.



Young Jeezy, Slick Pulla and Blood Raw (USDA) are finishing up on the album, which is slated for release in April 2007 on Corporate Thugz Entertainment/Def Jam. Tentatively entitled "Corporate Thuggin", the album displays each MC as a different representation of southern Hip-Hop, but together they illustrate that Hip-Hop is not dead but it in fact lives in the South. The first single "Check" was introduced at Jeezy's Platinum party in Atlanta and was a certified crowd favorite.

The Snowman has his hands full these days. While putting the finishing touches on this album, he is also preparing to hit the road with Lil Wayne and Jim Jones for the "Street Dream Tour". And, he's just wrapped the videos for his next two singles ("Go Getta" and "Dreamin") off his already platinum sophomore album "The Inspiration".

I cant knock the kat for hustle. Make the money, don’t let the money make you!

In case some people don’t know who or what Corporate Thugz Entertainment is all about. Here’s some more info for you.

Corporate Thugz Entertainment was formed in 1998 by Young Jeezy and childhood friend Demetrius "Kinky B! " Ellerbee with one goal in mind: "TO PUT THE GANGSTA BACK IN MUSIC and TO SET THE STREETS ON FIRE"! After selling over 10,000 copies of "Come Shop With Me", an underground album released in Atlanta, Young Jeezy parlayed this accomplishment into an artist deal with Def Jam Recordings. Then, with mind-blowing sales of Jeezy's special-edition Gangsta Grillz (DJ Drama) Mixtapes, a Top Ten debut on the Billboard charts with group Boyz In da Hood, and platinum sales of his commercial release, Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101, Corporate Thugz Ent attained a very lucrative label deal via Def Jam. Today, CTE is poised and ready to move to the forefront of the rap world as the one of the premiere imprints in the music industry. For more information on Corporate Thugz Entertainment, please visit their website www.corporatethugzent.com.

Talk to y'all lata

Word in the mag world is that The Game’s friend, Vida Guerra, will be gracing the cover of your favorite men’s mag. In it she airs out the L.A. rapper for his dumb ass comments she did about her. More info on this later.



In other hot chick news, Mayra Veronica keeps on doing her thing: singing, posing and making dollars. But will she ever do Playboy like Vida? Well see below. '

Mayra in Def Jam 3: ICON.

“Possibly, but it’s not high on my priority list,” says Veronica. “I think it’s fun and exciting when it comes as a surprise and not something that people expect. I have had talks with Mr. Hefner, but I don’t expect to be doing that anytime soon.”

C’mon Mayra, just a peek. Just one.

Uno,

Bobby Brown

R&B singer Bobby Brown was arrested and jailed in Massachusetts last night (February 25) for failing to make a court appearance and pay child support fines.

According to People, Brown was picked up outside his daughter's cheerleading competition at her high school. The 40-year-old crooner was reportedly cooperative despite being denied a request to attend the event by the arresting officers.

Brown owes money to his former girlfriend Kim Ward, who lives in Massachusetts and with whom he has two teenage children: LaPrincia and Bobby III.

In October, Brown paid $11,000 in delinquent child support after being threatened with arrest if he stepped back into Massachusetts. It is unknown how much Brown owes Ward at this point.

Brown, who was held overnight, will face a judge this afternoon (February 26) who will decide whether to charge the singer with contempt of a child support order. If the charge is criminal, the infamous vocalist could land in jail.

Brown has a history of missed child support payments, and was jailed in March 2004 for one day after missing several payments, which he subsequently paid.

The surprise in this isn't that Ray J is a grown ass man. It's not even that Ray J is bangin' some of the most desirable women in Hollywood. The surprise is the more women he bags, the more women come a calling.



Ray J loves himself some Kims!

After her line in Ray J's "Wait A Minute" forever labeled Ray J nothing but 'Brandy's brother' Lil Kim takes up with the 'all of a sudden' heartthrob.


,According to TMZ... Ray J has been flossin' Lil Kim and the puppies all throughout Hollywood-- showing up at Vibe's Pre-Oscar event.





Can make a Sprite can disappear in her mouth.


The funny thing is, Kim had to compete for attention with Ray J's new Ferrari-- bought with that cool million scored from them Kardashian sex tapes.


Damn... I wonder what Whitney thinks?

Touching back on the post I did on Friday regarding CNN’s special on Hip-Hop “Is it Art or Poison”, I found some video footage on youtube.com with popular radio personalities Ryan Cameron, and Elle of Atlanta’s people station—V103.

Since CNN premiered their straight to the point special, Hip-Hop has been on the defense in a big way. Rappers and fans of the innovative, and often times, toxic music genre have been flooding in calls in major urban markets to express their opinions about society’s negative feelings towards rap music

I myself, continue to remain on the fence of this discussion. Though I feel that Hip-Hop isn’t a perfect art form, what genre is? If you look at Pop music, you have Madonna and Britney, who have used direct sexual overtones to sell their music. If you look at Heavy Metal/Rock, you’ve got Ozzy Osborne and Marilyn Manson who use often times grotesque pieces of machinery in their videos that would turn even the strongest stomach inside out.

What I do think is that as a people, we’ve got to take ownership and accountability for what we portray within our own culture. Hip-Hop, much like, Gospel, and R&B, belongs to the black community. We may have been robbed and cheated out of ownership like we have been on so many other things, but we still dictate its influence and ultimately its popularity. Think about it, if today’s most popular, and sought out rappers decided to staged a boycott and chose not release one track or produce a single video ever again, what would happen to Hip-Hop?

At the end of the day we need to stand up as a people and say enough is enough. Being a creative person myself, I think freedom of expression is very important. However, when it starts seep into our actual lives and transcends adults and directly effect our youth. Then we should have a responsibility to stifle some of the creativity for the further progression of our woman and children.
