Rich Harrison. You know the name. And if you don't know the name then you know the hits. He and Amerie developed a sound with her first album, All I Have. It's been recreated in Beyonce's "Crazy In Love", Jennifer Lopez's "Get Right" and of course A's "1 Thing".
Like when all producers blow up, they work with all the big names. But when the dust settles and they become a staple, sometimes new ventures are required to take it up a notch or two.
ENTER RICHCRAFT RECORDS!
Rich is fuckin with Atlantic in a major way. He's got some male R&B acts coming on his new label. Keep in mind Rich typically works with women and has only really grinded for two dudes-- Diddy (Making It Hard" featuring Mary J. Blige from Press Play) and Usher ("Take Your Hand" from Confessions). There may be one two other songs for Usher and I think something with Mos Def, but overall Rich has been a ladies man.
Enter Young Steff and Jaiden.
Young Steff is the first male up to bat on RichcrafT.
But the important thing is that, the cd contains a Hidden Beach sampler that has a pretty lengthy snippet of what is supposed to be Jill's first single from her new studio album coming out in June.
Game is back a picking fights again. Sources who were hosting the now infamous Vegas All-Star party this weekend at Ice where Game and Young Buck got into it say both of them instigated the drama. When both entourages arrived on the scene between 3-4am, they tarted making gestures toward eac other's people. Basically those "What N*gga?!" gestures dudes are known to fight over.
Anyways, Young Buck took the stage that night and did a freestlye diss over one of Game's tracks. And with Jeezy in tow. Y'all know Game and his people got heated and proceeded to jump over railings and come down from VIP to bumrush the stage. Security stopped both entourages of 30+ from breaking out into an all out brawl. But now Game has posted a message on his Real Black Wallstreet site giving his side of the story.
In case you don't want to sign up just to read his message...here's what it says:
THIS ***** BUCK REALLY WANTS TO BE LIKE RASS HUH? I DONT KNOW IF YALL KNOW BUT LAST NIGHT I WAS AT THE ICE HOUSE IN LAS VEGAS AND YOU KNOW YA BOY, I WAS CHILLING DOING MY THANG AND I SEE BUCK WITH HIS bi*ch ASS CREW, I DIDNT REALLY CARE, IM HERE TO PARTY AND fu*k SOME bi*chES SO YOU WOULD THINK THAT THE ***** WOULD DO THE SAME, WRONNG, THIS HOMO ***** WANTED TO HOLLA AT ME WITH GAY GESTURES WHILE I WAS UP AT THE fu*kING TOP OF THE STAGE, ITS ALMOST FUNNY BECAUSE THIS ***** WAS TRYING TO COPY MY VOICE AND SAY sh*t LIKE IM THE KING OF COMPTON AND STUPID sh*t LIKE DRE PLEASE DONT LEAVE ME, ***** DRE MADE ME WHO I AM, BUT I UPGRADED MYSELF, NOBODY ELSE AND I DIDNT LEAVE sh*t!

The other day I was having a conversation about the upcoming Biggie anniversary and how his life after death has been so over celebrated/exploited that the upcoming ten year anniversary seems moot. Some respected hip hop heads are like... 'can we let go of the Big was the greatest propaganda and keep it moving?'
Wyclef Jean feels the chances of a reunion for The Fugees are pretty slim right now. The rapper/producer is so frustrated with communicating with fellow group members Pras Michel and Lauryn Hill that he's contemplating putting together a copycat group. "The Fugees are giving me such a hard time that I'm trying to form another group with me, Akon and another girl," Jean told Melissa Rivers on 'Joan & Melissa live at The Grammy's.'
Another girl... another girl? What the fuck does he mean another girl. Now Akon is an upgrade from Pras... but "ANOTHER GIRL" referring to the position Lauryn played, damn talk about some hard Jimmy Choos to fill.
A part of me ain't mad at Clef. Shit keep it moving.... but why am I most curious about who this other chick would be?
Any guesses?
Clef himself is now signed to Epic Records after stints on Columbia, J Records and Koch.
Time For Another Poppin or Floppin Video-Bow Wow "Outta My System"!!
Tuesday. 2.20.07 3:11 pm
What’s good everybody?
Well its time for another Poppin or Floppin video. This week’s video selection is none other then Atlanta import—Bow Wow. Bow Wow is still trying to some how save his latest album “The Price of Lame” by releasing another video, which will probably be his last one. The video stars relatively new artist(s) T-pain and Johnta Austin on the hook.
In my opinion Bow Wow has officially lost touch with what made him popular back from the start. His overzealous, tenny bopper fans have grown up into full fledged woman. They don’t care about these over simplified rap lyrics anymore. It barely worked for LL Cool J and it for damn sure aint working for him.
Somebody better help Bow quickly before he’s on the next season of the Surreal Life.
Check it out, and tell me what y’all think!
Until next time,
