Pusha T and his brother Malice might be going over to Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music! Pusha is putting his Fear of God mixtapeout September 14 AKA the date dubbed G.O.O.D. Music Day, because it's when albums from Kanye, Kid Cudi, Big Sean and Consequence are expected to drop.
If you're like me (a die-hard Lupe fan) then you already know about the petition from fans on Twitter against Atlantic Records for holding Lupe's new album, 'Lasers', for so long. It seems the fans took it a step further and created a website to further the petition. If you didn't know, Lupe didn't have anything to do with this petition, it was the fans (like myself) that took it upon themselves to demand what Atlantic Records has been keeping locked away for the past year.
Yall, it seems that we gotta wait a lil bit longer for Kid Cudi's 2nd album Man On The Moon II:The Legend of Mr. Rager. Universal Records told MTV that it's been pushed back to October25th. Cudi was originally set to drop the album on September 14; Universal Records didn't really provide a reason for the release-date switch.

Its all going down on August 14-15, at the Miami Beach Resort in FL. If you're interested register here and show off what you got.
If you're a die-hard Weezy fan like myself, then you can't wait til he gets outta prison either. Here's a letter he wrote from Rikers:
I hope everyone’s summer has been going well doing whatever it is you like to do. On my end, I’m alive, breathing and blessed. You already know how I’m passing the time – reading and working out. I know I say it every letter, but thank you from the bottom of my heart for the pictures, rocking free weezy tees, and continuous letters. They mean the world. I promise to continue to update as much as I can and answer as many questions as I can from you guys. Shout out to my YM family for making me proud last night. Love and appreciate life. God bless.
When Weezy returns, Hip Hop will resume where it was paused.
Shoutout to Wiz Khalifa for doing his thing. He a dope artist and I been with him from the beginning. Congrats.
More than 200,000 votes were tallied, and Wiz's loyal "Taylor Gang" following was out in force, propelling the woozy-flowed rapper into the top spot
The Grammy Award-winning spitter turned himself in on March 8 for a 2007 gun possession charge, for which he struck a plea deal to shorten his sentence from a year to eight months.
Over the past four months, several of Wayne's closest industry cohorts have visited the incarcerated rapper, giving the notion that Weezy is in high spirits and is patiently awaiting his return.
"He kept looking through the window," Drake said of his visit to Wayne's temporary home last month. "He'd look up at the window almost like he's looking right through it. It's frosted, so you can't see out. I was like, 'Why does he keep staring through the window? There's nothing out there.' To him, there's a whole world moving out there that he hasn't seen for so long."
Though Wayne had one minor setback at the Rikers Island facility - getting caught with music contraband (an mp3 player and digital watch) - Mr. Carter's release should still stand at November 4 if the court decides to let that mishap blow over.
Pain is defined as: an unpleasant physical or emotional sensation that can range from mild, localized discomfort to agony. The day he really discovered what that was: July 19, 2010. That definition is the key. In his opinion, its not TRUE pain unless you feel the physical and emotional parts of it. Physically, the pain he was feeling was effects of the surgery that sprung outta nowhere. He walked into the ER with a pain in his right side and walked out 5 hours later with 3 holes in his stomach, one in his arm, and a bloodstream riddled with medications. The emotional part came from the helplessness he was dealing with. He wasn't used to having people wait on him hand and foot (not really complaining) but he didn't necessarily enjoy the idea of himself being a burden to others. And yeaaaa OK, family will say JUST THAT; "OH we family...that's what family does." Well, that's just a part of him: he doesn't like being vulnerable like that. So between the physical and emotional aspects of that pain, he still had to deal with the fact that he was out of commission days before his birthday. But it was then that he realized that he wasn't in this all by himself. His eyes opened for the first time and he saw his family standing next to him ready to overcome the coming obstacles ahead of him. He looked to his right and saw a line of his friends ready to pray at a moments notice for his safe return from the hands of the hospital. And finally he looked above himself and saw the sky...something he hadn't really paid attention to before. He saw that the sky was his limit and right then, he asked himself if that pain was really worth him sacrificing his sanity and talent. His answer was clear. He started getting better and then he sat down a couple days later and decided to write a note...
Angelina Jolie stars in Salt, a contemporary action thriller from Columbia Pictures.
As a CIA officer, Evelyn Salt (Jolie) swore an oath to duty, honor and country. Her loyalty will be tested when a defector accuses her of being a Russian spy. Salt goes on the run, using all her skills and years of experience as a covert operative to elude capture. Salt's efforts to prove her innocence only serve to cast doubt on her motives, as the hunt to uncover the truth behind her identity continues and the question remains: "Who Is Salt?"
MARTA patrons saved a woman from being struck by a train after falling off the platform at the Medical Center Station on Peachtree Dunwoody Road. The victim said she had accidentally fallen down because she is visually impaired and did not see the edge of the platform. She was taken to St. Joseph’s Hospital after complaining of minor pain in her left rib and ankle.
The Game says he's about to put out music to make his rivals pump their brakes. He has a new mixtape, hosted by DJ Skee and produced entirely by Cool & Dre, ready to drop at the beginning of August called Brake Lights.
1. All of His Exes Are "Crazy"
Be wary of a man who refers to his former girlfriends as crazy, psycho, or clingy — because what's the common denominator here? Him. The dude's either looney-bin glue, or he never really wanted the relationship to work in the first place.
2. He Plans Ultra-Romantic Dates
A cozy candlelit dinner is nice and all, but if he only takes you to secluded places, it could be a tip-off that he doesn't want other women to spot him on a date. Next time he asks you out, suggest hitting up a busy restaurant or popular bar and see how he reacts.
3. He's Hot and Cold on the Phone
He'll text you 10 times in a night, then go MIA for days. He'll chat on the phone for an hour, then ignore your messages for the rest of the week. Wondering what the heck is going on? We're going to be brutally honest: He's mostly likely busy dating other women.
4. He Guilt-Trips You
It's normal for a guy to be jonesing to sleep with you from day one. But this behavior is a red flag if he a) lays the pressure on thick, or b) tries to make you feel bad if you choose not to get physical — like by giving you a sob story about how worked up he is without the release of sex.
5. Stuff Is Missing from His Facebook Profile
Has he untagged any photos of you and him? Does he post updates often, yet never mention hanging out with you? Is his relationship status hidden? We smell a rat. A guy who's leery of commitment will make sure there are no traces of you on his page.
6. His Buddies Act Distant
Even though a player's bros may be friendly enough, they probably won't ask you many personal questions about your job, interests, etc. The ugly truth: They don't want to invest time and energy getting to know you because they figure you're not going to be around very long.
7. He Says You're Soul Mates
Okay, we adore the idea of love at first sight — but too much too soon could also indicate sketchy intentions. If a dude comes on super strong right off the bat (we're talking the first couple of weeks), telling you things like that he's starting to fall in love with you, just make sure you play it safe and trust your gut. Those powerful words might be rolling off his tongue so smoothly because he's spoken them so many times before.

The developers over at Ubisoft took it upon themselves to make a hybrid karaoke and dance simulator called Michael Jackson: The Video Game. This game seems to be for the ones that want to learn MJ's moves at a more "in yo face" kind of way; more than Youtube. The game features chart-topping singles such as "Billie Jean" and "Beat It." It's coming out for PlayStation 3 (with Move controller) and Xbox 360 (with Kinect interface), custom versions are also planned for less technically advanced systems such as the Wii, DS and PSP.
HAAHAHAHAHAAA. Ok sorry, its just funny to tell you guys earlier on this site (mmm like a week or two ago) that the iPhone 4 was gonna have some issues. Welp, the first issue found with it is a hardware flaw that causes the phone to drop calls. This was reported by Consumer Reports on Monday (yesterday); and before you start getting all defensive and whatnot...they DIDNT say to NOT buy it, but they are not RECOMMENDING that you buy it. But, on the other hand, if you KNOW that your phone is gonna be dropping calls then its up to you to ask yourself: "is it worth it?" If dropped calls is what you want then you've found your dreamphone. It may turn out that people are more interested in the NAME than the actual performance of the phone.
Just incase you dont believe me:
This website belongs to a friend of mine that goes by CamTheFam on Twitter. This site supports the clothing company started by Cam known as Bourgeois Ink and the whole site is in blog-form. In his very own words:
"This blog is a reflection of fashion, popular culture, music, and creative thoughts, and of course the latest info about my company..."
Take it from me, I've seen the man's work in person, so know when I say the man's t-shirts are incredible. If you wanna see what else he has to offer, follow the man on Twitter, visit his blog, and buy some of his shirts. Or you can tune in here for updates on what he's doing and links to the new stuff. Show ya love.
