AS you all know, I shared with you the announcment of my newborn son Xavier Kingston Joiner on may 15th and also informed you that he was born prematurly. well this week was extremly difficult for him because his lungs were not strong enough to handle regular oxygen on his own. Xavier passed away this morning at 3:30am and I must tell you this, It is unatural for a parent to bury a child. I am telling you this because of the same reason I tell you when im having great times, life is too short to be fake. Hold on to your kids if you have them, protect them and show them you love them everyday you wake up and see them, dont take a second you get to hug them teach them and care for them for granted.

JAY-Z LIVE NATION INTERVIEW

TERRANCE DEAN AUTHOR OF "HIDING IN HIP-HOP DESCRIBES WHO THE DOWN LOW MEN ARE IN HIP-HOP ???

Can you guess who these industry men are? Leave your comments
“Malcolm” A record mogul who has diversified his success in music, business, clothing, and politics and who always has a stunning woman on his arm, had his boy toy in VIP with him (at an industry party)

“Gus”
An R&B singer/songwriter who had written major hits for artists including En Vogue, SWV and Changing Faces. His clear skin, dark eyes, bushy eyebrows and short wavy hair….he was just too pretty. He eventually became a “gangster styled” artist.

“Craig”
Top rapper who was a part of a successful rap group that changed the dynamics of hip-hop with their philosophical rhymes over hard-core beats. Craig garnered attention because of his rugged good looks that made him a standout in the group.

“Drake”
He was a member of one of the most popular R&B groups. They had several number one Billboard hits, and the young girls loved him because the adorable, sexy front singer, Drake had a flamboyant stage presence. He was very eccentric in his style, defying more conventional looks in his appearance. Drake didn’t hold back when he performed either…showing his muscular frame. [He] branched out on his own as a solo artist and had a huge hit single which led to a few acing roles in major motion pictures.

“Eli”
A popular multiplatinum rapper who started his own label. Eli was a forced to be reckoned with. He flew out the gate with his debut album and would become a mainstay in the ever-changing Hip Hop industry. He has been hailed as one of the greatest rappers to bless the mic.

“Quinn”
He had a velvet melodic voice and broke out with a sensual single in the late 90’s. His self-titled debut album produced two top Billboard hits.

“Galvin”
Once a part of a legendary R&B group who had experienced a brief stint as a successful solo artist, was allegedly linked romantically to an A-list male actor.

REMY MA SENTENCED

Remy Ma Manages To Make Her Sentencing All About Her "facade"

Remy Ma—née Remy Smith—was sentenced to eight years in jail for a July shooting outside a New York nightclub yesterday, a sentence that resulted in Remy's fiancé Papoose (birth name: Shamele Mackie) swearing at court officers, overturning a nearby garbage can, and daring the guards to lock him up—hey, conjugal visits are out of the question for now, so why not. The sentencing was preceded by a weeping Remy telling the judge that her larger-than-life persona was merely a figment of the media's imagination, and that it was created by record executives for the purposes of moving product:

"Remy Ma is not even close to who I am," she said through tears. "I'm not a thug. I'm not a hardcore anything. I have feelings and emotions, and I'm a human being like anybody else. I'm Remy Smith."
Perhaps this means that her sniping about C.O.'s lower-than-her net worth was also part of her label's marketing plan. She also took time out to apologize, sort of, to her victim, who was in the courtroom but who didn't get a direct look from Remy:

"I apologize," she said, "and I'm sorry for not saving you. I feel so bad for all the physical and mental pain you went through, and go through. Myself, I have a lifetime scar on my face. So I know the pain you feel when I look in the mirror."
I'm surprised that she didn't add, "But if I got through it, so can you!" to her motivational speech, if only to seal the cluelessness of said statement.

hillary forcloses on the blackvote by wolf

Millions of people this year have watched homes that they have owned for decades taken away from them through foreclosure, an after effect of Predatory Lending. According to Wikipedia.com, Predatory lending is defined as, “the practice of a lender deceptively convincing borrowers to agree to unfair and abusive loan terms, or systematically violating those terms in ways that make it difficult for the borrower to defend against.” In New York City alone, for the 2007-8 year, there we be over 10,000 foreclosures due to ‘predatory lending’ and the majority of these foreclosures will be made against some of the weakest and poorest members of our community, African-American seniors. Across America, states are investigating charges that banks targeted blacks and Latinos in this detestable scheme.



But there is another foreclosure going on in America today, one that we might not think of, but which is filling up our newspapers and magazines, the web and the television. You see, the Clintons have foreclosed on blacks.



In 1992 blacks took out a loan with Bill and Hillary Clinton. We gave them the keys to our home, America, with the agreement that they would help us make this a better place by showing us respect and insuring that people of color would get treated as people and not mere pawns on a political chessboard. To that end we remained loyal. In fact out of America blacks were probably the most loyal to the Clinton brand than any other group in this nation. When Bill Clinton said, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman”, we believed him; and when he finally admitted the truth, we were the first to take his side. When he left office, tagged like Hester in the Scarlet Letter, we took him into the heart of Harlem, welcoming him into our community, our restaurants, and our homes. We helped make his wife our Senator. We looked up to him. We admired him. We were loyal soldiers. continue

BMI Artist Showcase TEYANA TAYLOR

TEYANA TAYLOR

BMI Artist Showcase 4/24/08
Luckie Lounge, Atlanta, GA

It’s a fine time to be an artist in Atlanta. Whether you’re a soul singer, conscious emcee, or a traditional trap music hustler, there’s a place for you here. Just in the month of April, the city has welcomed performances from acts as diverse as Masta Ace, Lina, and Estelle.

It’s fitting that BMI (Broadcast Music, Incorporated), the leading performing rights organization in the U.S., would host a unsigned artist’s showcase to shine light on the many fledging and undiscovered acts throughout the city.

17-year-old standout Teyana Taylor was the first of the three headline performers. The Harlem singer/emcee overcame the technical shortcomings of the venue to win over the crowd with b-girl attitude and succinct choreography.

With jeans hanging off her waist and a white cut off wifebeater, one couldn’t help but see images of a sensual Aaliyah swaying effortlessly through the “Are You That Somebody” video.

Despite the clear influence, Teyana is no follower. Her tomboy flair is evident on her first single “Google Me.” She eyed all of us among press row, as if daring us to proclaim she wasn’t the next big thing in urban music. With the talent and confidence she possesses, one would be hard pressed to disagree.

Next, songwriter Sean Garrett hit the stage. Nicknamed “The Pen” by Jay-Z due to his string of hit writing credits (Usher, Kelly Rowland, Rihanna), Garrett made the ladies swoon as he went hrough tracks off his upcoming album 2008: Turbo 919. To make sure everyone was familiar with his resume, Garrett performed interpolations of his biggest hits: Beyonce’s “Get Me Bodied” and Usher’s “Yeah!” Not to leave the fellas out, Garrett enlisted two voluptuous dancers that keep the camera’s snapping throughout his set.

Despite the strong performances, all was not well with this event. There were long stretches on inactivity that hurt the crowd’s energy. The show began at 8pm, and by 1am the headliner (Lil Wayne) still had not reached the venue. DJs attempted to stall for time by playing ATL classics from Outkast, but that was only a fleeting antidote as tensions began to rise. Fans rushed the press pit in preparation for Wayne, which caused threats of violence between multiple female fans.


While initially amusing, these empty threats just added to the monotony as VIP, fans, and press were all mashed on top of each other. It would not be until close to 2am before the self-proclaimed “best rapper alive” made himself known.

When Wayne hit the stage, the crowd went crazy. The audience recited the lyrics for “Money On My Mind” and “You Ain’t Know” as the New Orleans MC ripped through each verse. The energy continued with renditions of “Hello Brooklyn” and “Dey Know (Remix).”

lil Wayne dey no Remix Lil Wayne/money on my mind/you ain't knowSeeing Wayne’s popularity in person put in perspective the opportunity he has with the new album. He’s in the same position Nas was before Illmatic, BIG before Ready for Die, and Canibus before his debut. The question becomes can he deliver a seminal album to validate his claims like Nas and BIG, or will he fall short as Canibus did? It’s no secret that Wayne does see himself in the vein of the two legends, as his album cover pays homage to Illmatic and Ready to Die. The talent is there, and like everyone else I’m anticipating how The Carter III turns out.

Overall, the BMI showcase was a success. The artists all performed exceptionally well. But next year let’s hope BMI pays better attention to time management and venue organization to ensure the best possible atmosphere for all.
