Jimmy Cozier Is Ballin' Jim Jones Style Tuesday. 2.6.07 2:58 pm Y'all Jimmy Cozier. He was one of the first artists signed to J Records back in the day.
It was him and Olivia (before she went G Unit on ya ass!).
Peep his video for "She's All I Got."

That shit was pretty slick. But what wasn't so slick was his departure from the label. I am suppose to talk Jimmy this week to hear all about what it's really like working with music empresario Clive Davis, what he's been doing since then and what he is contributing to the forthcoming Mya album.
Of course Jimmy is dropping his own album. As dope as he is known to be behind the scenes, I am sure he saved some of that crack for his own project. It's called Perfect Timing, and features appearances from Olivia, Alicia Keys and Keyshia Cole.
The first single is "U Got Them Goods" featuring Jim Jones ((((BALLIN'!!!!))))
Get it here.

Put this up against what you like in R&B and what you expect from an artist with his experience and answer this....
"U Got Them Goods" featuring Jim Jones....
RUSH IT or FLUSH IT?

Blige Provides A "Breakthrough" For the Peeps At Vibe! Jennifer Hudson Debuts on Essence Friday. 2.2.07 6:36 pm We all recall Mary J. Blige's public expression of disgust about her previous Vibe cover in December 2005. It was during the Vibe Awards that our girl from Yonkers kept it real while on stage receiving the magazine's coveted VLegend Award.
Since Mary is all renewed and enlightened, and Mimikins is no longer spinning webs over @ 215, Mary happily graces the cover of Vibe's "150th Collector's Edition Issue."
Thank God they got rid of that bubbly font! But they went overboard on the cover lines.
GOOD LOOK ALL AROUND!
Mary and her eight Grammy nominations will help move this issue on the newsstands.
Kudos to Vibe for getting it right. Those last few covers have been less than delicious... but this shit makes my mouth water.
Heard about it here, copped the image from here. Shout out to the Loop!
And speaking of magazine covers... don't sleep on Jennifer Hudson's Essence cover.
Thoughts?

Thursday. 2.1.07 11:47 am 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.

Sure the two worked on "Can't Leave Em Alone" on her sophomore cd The Evolution, but Ciara admitted 50 basically emailed his verse to them.
According to the New York Daily News, CiCi has been riding dirty in the backseat of 50's car. WTF?
The two were together Thursday night, looking like a couple trying not to look like a couple.
The rapper was spotted in his car in LeFrak City with "Ciara in the backseat, attempting not to be seen," said a source.
Another source describe the pair to us as "a new underground couple."
Is that like Ashanti and Ja Rule or Lily and Herman Munster?
Now for those of y'all not familiar, LeFrak City, according to it's own website, is a gargantuan complex of 18-story buildings with 5000 apartments. Basically the projects.
Now, CiCi coulda been there to drop a hook in 50's secret studio in the hood for his forthcoming cd, or she coulda been joining Olivia as the G-Unit tramp-o-line or it could all be a lie.

Monday. 2.5.07 7:20 pm Brandy isn't the only R&B chic with major legal woes. As we mentioned before, Toni Braxton sued her former manager, Barry Hankerson, for $10 million due to breach of contract.
But is there more to the story....
On Wednesday we found out that Toni and Hankerson are now in a public battle. The jist of the story is this. Toni filed her lawsuit. The courts and her attorney told her to re-file in state court and make sure she had proof. Hankerson took her re-filing as her dropping the lawsuit and issued a public statement saying Toni dropped it.
Toni, then issues a statement saying oh hell no, I didn't drop the case I refiled. Then Hankerson issued yet another statement saying basically that Toni is full of shit. Read more here.
One key detail in Hankerson's claim is that Toni is pulling a fast one. Here is an excerpt from the Hankerson's/Blackground Records statement that was issued.
"Neither Blackground Records nor Barry Hankerson have been served with the new lawsuit; nevertheless, we are quite confident that this new lawsuit will ultimately be deemed devoid of merit. Both Blackground Records LLC and Barry Hankerson have fulfilled all of their obligations to Ms. Braxton and find it disappointing that she has chosen litigation instead of working with Blackground Records to make a hit album that could have revived her recording career," says the statement.
Hankerson claims that Braxton's original lawsuit comes just two days after he dropped her from Blackground when she collected an advance for an album that she later refused to deliver.
Aiight... let's get real here. Sure Hankerson maybe shady, but Toni's last cd had like two good songs on it. And I can easily see Toni pulling a diva move and promising an album so that she could get the advance and then say... fuck that shit.
As it stands now the case will go to trial in New York State Court and until then you can catch Toni at the Flamingo in Vegas.
Check this rare video from Toni for "Let It Flow." Apparently it was never released because the label thought it was too risque.

Tuesday. 2.6.07 3:09 pm From jump let me say I ain't hating on the Fergalicious one. I'm all for anyone that can make a dollar out of fifteen cents.
But is it that the GlamTrash movement is still in style or is there something inherently dingy about Fergie? Chicks like Britney Spears, Courtney Love, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera and them perfected glam trash but we've all seen them clean it up and get it out the trailer park.
Fergie just dropped her new video for "Glamorous" featuring Ludacris.
check out this video below:

Y'all feeling it? What say you?
