Kat Williams Responds to Allegations

Over the past few weeks, Kat Williams has was arrested for breaking and entering into a home and allegedly stealing over $3,500 worth of jewelery. In addition to that, Williams was reported for "kidnapping" a 17 year old boy and threatening to "beat him up." As the investigation unravels, it appears to be a misunderstanding....but here is what Kat Williams had to say about the allegations:

Do Artists Create Original Music Anymore?

What happened to the art of creation or originality? Alot of major artists in the industry these days produce remakes or rob up & coming musicians of their songs. Is anyone writing their own lyrics anymore? Especially for those that have been in the industry for a long time....besides making albums, making guest appearances, touring and photo shoots...what do they do with all their free time? Well we know their not "making" music.

I lose respect for atrist's that use other people's songs. The latest example that left me highly disappointed is Solange's new record "Stillness Is the Move." I was feeling the Dr. Dre/Erykah Badu track....but after seeing the original artist she borrowed the lyrics from , I'm no longer impressed.

Check it out!



The original version:

Beanie Sigel & Freeway Perform in Va

Ned Devines in Sterling, Va has become a host for hot celebrity performances. Having featured some of the industrys' hottest legends and upcoming artists such as, Cassidy, Raekwon and Angel Lola Luv, you never know who may stop through.

Last night, Beanie Sigel graced the stage performing some of his hottest hits, along side Freeway. I can honestly say that Beanie is a straight up hood nigga. From his attire, demeanor and attitude you can tell he keeps it real hood. Throughout his performance he blocked cameras from filming him and even requested the tapes from those who shot footage.

I wasn't one of those he asked to stop taping, or to hand over my footage....so you know I got a little dose of his performance. Footage coming soon!!

DC Snipper Executed

Seven years and twelve days after being captured and sentenced, John Allen Mohammed, was executed yesterday, by lethal injection at the Greenville Correctional Center in Richmond, Va.

Mohammed, 48, and his teenage accomplice John Lee Malvo, were the two snipers responsible for killing 10 people that terrorized the Washington, D.C. area in September and October 2002. Malvo was sentenced to life in prison, but Mohammed was sentenced to capital punishment.

Officials say Mohammed was emotionless and calm during his final moments and refused to make a final statement as relatives of the victims watched from a separated glass window.

Mohammed was the 340th person executed in the state of Virginia since 1908. His sentence of capital punishment has raised feelings of indifference for many, but justice for most.

Muhammad's attorneys had asked Kaine to commute his sentence to life in prison because they said Muhammad had brain damage and neurological problems, as well as psychotic and delusional behavior, exacerbated by the Gulf War Syndrome he suffered as a sergeant in the first Iraq war. The U.S. Supreme Court turned down Muhammad's final appeal Monday, and Virginia Gov. Timothy M. Kaine denied clemency Tuesday.

Check out the news coverage of Mohammed execution below.

Lil Kim....Lost One...

....and that "one" would be me. I'm sorry but I'm no longer excited about Lil Kim ever since she went Hollyhood. Now that she has signed a new deal with Jay-Z and will be dropping an album soon, I can't say that I'm eager to hear it. I've always been a die hard Lil Kim fan...I was even happy for her during her run with "Dancing with the Stars." But when I see pictures of her....I get disappointed all over again. Sorry Kim, but 'ya lost one.'

Rihanna Speak to 20/20 Full Version

After listening to Rihanna speak about the incident, I can't help but feel a way about Chris Brown. To know that Rihanna did not provoke the situation and that there was no alcohol involved, it really damages and reveals Chris' character to the world.

Rihanna made a good point when she explained what being young and having alot of fortune and fame does to someone. When there are no boundaries, no worries a person begins to feel invincible, which is not a healthy situation. We see this in alot of celebrities that experience trouble with the law, and it's truly a lesson and wake up call, but it's too bad Chris and Rihanna had to experience it in this way.

The timing couldn't have been better for Rihanna to speak about the incident, now that time has passed and her feelings are settled. I can't say the same for Chris, since he has an album coming out....I wonder how this will affect his sales.

New Rihanna Track

"The Wait Is Over" is a new song leaked from Rihanna's upcoming album "Rated -R." This will be her fourth highly anticipated LP that will be in stores November 23. I've sampled a few tracks off the album and so far my favorite would have to be "Russian Roulette" and "The Wait is Over." Without a shadow of a doubt I know the entire album will be FIRE....fueled with hurt, anger, excitement and courage, the sound of this album is definitely a reflection of what the young star has experience. Check out her new single!!!
