T-Pain makes up for Apple's decline in downloads.

Apple hit 2 billion downloads recently. During the third quater Apple had 1.5 billion downloads and since then they've have another 500 million downloads with 85,000 applications hitting the market. Also, T- Pains auto tune app contributed to a large amount of downloads for that application.

Christina Milian misses performance due to pregnancy

Well the word is that Mr. and Mrs. The Dream were suppose to appear on stage together but, the pregnancy caused some complications. Honestly, I don't even know how far a long she is. I hope all is well, though.

Beyonce to perform in Malaysia

If you can recall..Bey' had to cancel her performance in Malaysia due to some conflict that the powers that be had with her performances. Those powers, thought that Bey' was not "conservative" enough with her appearance. So...maybe this time those issues won't arise.

Hard Rock- 50 cent ft Ester Dean

Click on the pic.

Ok..I don't know what to say about this. Never in a million years did I ever expect 50 cent to use Auto Tune. After Jay releasing BP3 I started getting some hope that 50 would be a worthy competitor. We've had some real good albums drop this year but with 50 having these types of ideas musically makes me wonder.

Bow Wow-"Shine"

Bow gotta nice flow on this one...and is it a surprise that this dude hopped on Auto-tune...but really it was expected that this dudes content would change since gettin' with Cash Money...Bow Wow really needs a parental advisory label now...LOL.

Serius Jones-"Keep it Funky"

Wasn't he connected to DTP..what's goin' on with that?

Camp Lo! Can't forget'em

Goodie Mob on Good Morning ATL!

It's good to see them all together again...with all the rumored jealousy issues the group had with Ceelo's solo career I'm glad too see it all put aside. We need an album from this group.

Chris Brown/Lil Wayne work together on "Graffiti" album

Chris Brown is working on his forthcoming album Grafitti...and is working with Lil Wayne. Chris Brown is also being assisted by Swizz Beatz. Chis Brown has recorded around about 60 plus songs for the album.

Personally I think ppl are ready to move on from the Chris Brown/Rihanna situation. Besides for some reason I don't think this situation would have blown up the way it did if those pics were not leaked. But hopefully Chris can redeem himself with this album. Time conquers all just as long as he doesn't do something stupid.

Did Jay have a hand in Kanye crashin' Taylors' moment?

Ok..so now there's a rumor that Jay had something to do with Kanye West crashing Taylor Swifts' moment on stage. The word is that Jay created the publicity stunt as a marketing scheme for Jay Z and Beyonce.

I don't know what to think about this and I don't know if it's true but in the "industry" I guess all is fair right?

Janet & Madonna doing song together?

Well...supposedly Janet and Madonna want to do a song together as a tribute to Michael jackson. Madonna says that when she saw Janet perform at the MTV awards she was inspired and thought it would be a good move for the two too do a song together.

Let's see what happens.

Black Eyed Peas Hit no.1

With recent performances on the Oprah Winfrey show and the NFL kickoff special. The group gained about 32,000 downloads for the song "I got a feeing" making it the first time for having the weeks number 1 download.

Hov expected to move another 200k, Kid Cudi also expected to move 100-120k.

Drake is projected to chart well, also. Drake will without a doubt move the most units. Trick Daddy and Lil Boosie have album releases, too. I think Trick Daddy and Lil Boosie will move 70-85k combined in the first two weeks. But, we'll just have to wait and see.

What will be the fate of Drake?

I will admit that I don't check for Drake's music that much. But, as of late I've been reading "industry" blog sites about him. And the stuff I'm reading is not in favor of Drake. It's either you like his singing or you like his rapping. The main debate is that Drake is new but he's not "new" and he's being labeled as a "reproducible" artist. Drake personally said in an interview that he doesn't listen to Rap that much, he highly prefers R&B and would rather sing more. Now the question is..why don't you do you that? Now there's is a lot of speculation that Drake is being manufactured to steer separate fan bases into one primary fan base. You see, the effects of this will be the same as the Auto-tune. Will Drake become the industry standard? it's too early to call it.

I will agree that as of right now Drake is free to straddle the fence of singing/rapping. I believe sooner or later Drake will have to choose what side he wants to take. Also, Drake is a Pop artist that raps/sings, therefore he will have to heed the pop culture. The pop culture is what is putting Drake on top but the curse of that is that once the pop culture has you, they can be very cut throat and have no loyalty, ditch you and move to the next hot pop artist. Those powers that be showed that when 50 cent went at Ja Rule and now it's happening to 50 cent minus an adversary.

Drake supposedly wants to drop "Thank me Later" in February. And it's said that he's pushing for appearances by Jay-Z, Eminem, Kanye West and Young Jeezy.

Who is Bridget Kelly?

I didn't know but now I do...and this chic can blow. I was watching the rehearsal on FUSE and I completely forgot about Jay the second I heard her sing the first note. Let's hope Jay doesn't drop the ball on BK!

Hate'em or love'm but 50 knows his biz.

We've been waiting for 50 to drop BISD..but just maybe he knows what he's doing. In my opinion I think 50 could've have released the album a while ago. But, I sense that
he's "patiently waiting".

Beyonce..lawsuit?

Mo' money more problems, huh...well it seems that Beyonce my have a lawsuit on her hands. The "word" is that Beyonce has been hit with a trademark infringement lawsuit from the head honcho's at clothing firm Abercrombie & Fitch over plans to release her own perfume. Also, they may even go as far as trying to block the release Bey's perfume.

We'll just have to wait and see about this.
