“Turn pain to progression in every studio session/Passion into perfection/To failure, I’m an exception…”

Looks like time away didn’t hurt Clifford’s wordplay. March 26 may be his official release date, but that’s not going to stop T.I. from hitting the ground running early. The King appears on the completed version of Jamie Foxx’s “Winner” alongside a guy he’s had a few hits with back in the day, Justin Timberlake. If I was a betting man (and I am at times), I’d say this will likely end up being Jamie’s first single for his forthcoming LP. Why else would you land two pop culture superstars for one record?

In related news, if there is a way Grand Hustle can slide in a Mike Bigga album alongside Tip’s and Bobby’s, consider me one happy camper. Either that or a Grand Hustle type compilation album. T.I. leading the charge. B.o.B. riding shotgun blowing kush out the window. Mike ready to unleash a scathing 16 at a moment’s notice. The occasional Big Kuntry offering. And on top of all that, colorful descriptions thanks to Grand Hustle’s English professor, Young Dro. Yeah, let’s make that happen.

P.S. Anyone know if Timberlake has a new album coming out anytime soon? It’s been like four years since the last one.

Yeah, the man may have turned his back on all Hip-Hop not featuring a certain Shawn Corey Carter, but Timbaland still proves he can win with Pop as his profession. Read the rest of this entry »

Who says Timbaland’s saving all the good beats for himself?

What was once probably a potential single for The Material Girl’s last album, the Justin Timberlake-assisted “Across The Sky” wound up collecting cobwebs in Madonna’s vajayjay vocal vaults and has now resurfaced for really no reason at all. On second thought, maybe Timbo leaked this polysonic piece of Hard Candy to save Read the rest of this entry »

The feds ruled today that the nip slip & the teat seen around the world won’t cost CBS a dime.

A federal appeals court today (July 21) threw out a $550,000 indecency fine against CBS Corp. for the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show that ended with Janet Jackson’s breast-baring “wardrobe malfunction.”

“Like any agency, the FCC may change its policies without judicial second-guessing,” the court said. “But it cannot change a well-established course of action without supplying notice of and a reasoned explanation for its policy departure.”

Exposed for a 9/16 of a second and the FCC’s going rate of $977,777.78 per-second rate, that was shaping up to be an expensive areola for the network.
