2008 BET AWARDS TONIGHT 8PM ET

Each year, all of Hip Hop and R&B await the summertime for the BET Awards. This is the only one that counts. Where artists like Common, Rick Ross and Estelle can be nationally recognized. Here's a quick rundown of the awards, airing tonight 7pm Central / 8pm Eastern on BET. This year's host will be funny man DL Hugley. In years past the BET awards' audience have been a younger crowd. Let's hope DL's jokes hit home. I'm sure they will. It can't be as bad as Damon Wayans a couple years back. His jokes were made for an older crowd.75 Year old music legend Quincy Jones has been selected as the 2008 recipient of BET's Humanitarian Award and will receive the honor at the “BET Awards” on June 24. Past winners of the award include Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Denzel & Pauletta Washington, and Don Cheadle, who were bestowed the award in 2007. Some of this year's performers are... 1. T-PAIN 2. KANYE WEST 3. AL GREEN (WHO IS THIS YEARS RECIPIANT OF THE LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD) 4. KEYSHIA COLE 5. MARVIN SAPP 6. YOUNG JEEZY 7. RIHANNA 8. NEYO 9. CHRIS BROWN 10. NELLY 11. ALICIA KEYS 12. USHER 13. LIL WAYNE SHOULD BE PRETTY INTERESTING. I AM HOPING THESE LIVE PERFORMANCES WON'T INCLUDE A BUNCH OF LIP SYNCING AND VOICING OVER TRACKS. (T-PAIN AND YOUNG JEEZY) I SAW A CLIP OF JEEZY REHEARSING ON ACCESS GRANTED LAST NIGHT, AND HE WAS RAPPING OVER HIS OWN VOICE. WHICH IS WACK. BE AN EMCEE MAN... WE KNOW YOU ARE THE KING OF ADLIBS, SO I CAN UNDERSTAND THE ADLIBS BEING NECESSARY IN THE BACKGROUND. BUT, HOW YOU GONNA RAP OVER YOUR OWN VOICE FOR THE WHOLE SONG? ANYWAY, LETS HOPE FOR AN ENTERTAINING FIGHT FREE TURNOUT. I AM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING MARVIN SAPP SING. I HAVE BEEN A FAN OF HIS VOICE FOR A LONG TIME.

Rihanna says haircut helped her "find herself"

Rihanna has credited her shorter hairdo with distinguishing her from other pop stars - and for allowing her to discover herself. The 20-year-old rebelled against her record label's wishes last year (07) when she chopped her long locks into an edgy pixie cut to coincide with the release of her album Good Girl Gone Bad. And the Umbrella hitmaker insists the change in style helped her establish her independence. She says, "I felt like the whole world had long, curly, flowy blonde hair. Ciara, Beyonce, Mariah, Christina Milian. Everybody wanted to be like everybody else. So I cut my hair and they (Def Jam) made me put my long hair back in (as extensions). "The second time, I didn't have any discussions, nothing. I just cut it, I dyed it black, I went into the studio making music my way. I found myself all at once. I like things strong, edgy, a little to the left. I don't like things that are expected - nothing cliched."

RIHANNA'S GOT MILK......U WANT SOME?

“Drink it in. Pop star? Not exactly. Milk is more my move. Some studies suggest that teens who choose milk instead of sugary drinks tend to be leaner and the protein helps build muscle. So, shut up and drink.”

This week, Soundscan parent company Nielsen released the Top 10 songs aired in the United States during 2007. Black Eyed Peas' Fergie topped the charts with 380,742 BDS spins of her hit, "Big Girls Don't Cry." The #2 honors went to crooner T-Pain's Yung Joc-assisted "Buy U A Drank" at 373,646 spins.

Other urban acts to make the Top 10 included Rihanna and Jay-Z's all-weather smash "Umbrella," as well as Beyonce's hit "Irreplaceable."

Oddly enough, Nielsen also released the Top 10 artists of overall domestic U.S. spins. The only urban act was former Pop star Justin Timberlake with 772,332 overall spins, coming in at #8. The "Sexy Back" star was in the company of over eight Country acts, including Rascal Flatts, Kenny Chesney and Toby Keith.

LOOK AT THE SUPERSTAR RIHANNA HAS BECOME...

Rihanna The sexy R&B singer Rihanna gave a note-worthy performance in Sheffield, England on December 13, 2007.

I used to laugh at Rihanna, in the beginning of her career, because she always seems soooo uncomfortable on the stage. Well, it looks like she has come into her own. Go Ri-Ri!!

NEW AUDIO: THE DREAM 4 TRAX OFF ALBUM

thedream_lovehate.jpg

The D R E A M - Love/Hate » Love Hate (Def Jam), or “Love Me All Summer, Hate Me All Winter,” is the debut album by singer and songwriter-Dream. The album drops December 11 and will include the singles “Shawty Is Da Shed” and current single “Falsetto.” Most of the production for Love Hate was done by none other than Tricky Stewart and appearances by Fabolous and Rihanna of course. I really enjoyed Love Hate, it’s a vibrant album, I get this whole Prince + Dream + Dark Vadar + house + club vibe; meaning it seems he pulled some Prince inspirations and fused it with his own sound. I can literally play the whole album through and not skip one damn song becos that’s how much I love it! So I might have to go out December 11 and get me a copy!

Fast Car // Nikki // Ditch That… // Livin’ a Lie ft. Rihanna

NEW AUDIO: RIHANNA (PROD. TRICKY & DREAM)

TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK OF THIS RIHANNA SONG

Thank Guawd “Breakin Dishes” is finally a single, bout damn time! Hehe, that was the first song I loved immediately after listening to Good Girl Gone Bad (Def Jam) and doing a review. The song, similar to Nelly Furtado’s late-2006 “Maneater” as far as synth, is about a female narrator pissed and wrecking havoc on account of her spouse’s frequent lateness returning home; suspects he’s cheating. Go Rihanna, brekin’ dishes and kickin’ bitches!

NEW VIDEO: TAMIA (and my rant...yadda yadda yadda)

This is Canadian singer Tamia’s third single from the album Between Friends (Image/Gallo). I love the song, Tamia, flawless as usual. The video fits the concept to a damn Tee, I would like to know who directed this? I watch Tamia and NBA player/husband Grant Hill on Oprah a couple of weeks ago, and they were discussing how they manage to remain happily married through their ups and downs, both personally and professionally. He was a promised NBA star, but dealt with several injuries during the most critical time of his career. He is now healthy and looking forward to a successful injury-free season. She is extremely talented and has been in the business for years (Quincy Jones introduced her to the industry by producing her 1st hit "You put a move on my heart") but has yet to see a successful selling album in the United States. Sadly, Tamia was recently diagnosed with M.S. (the same disease Richard Pryor suffered from)

You can catch her beautiful videos on BET'S Midnight Love (which is only a 30 minute long program...and it doesn't come on every night) but for some reason she doesn't get the love and the support that Beyonce, or Rihanna gets. She is set on making grown people music, with real instruments, and she actually takes the time to put an album together. She isn't on tour in the bus writing an album in 2 weeks,. I won't say any names You ready b'? oops... anyway check out your girl's video... go out and get her album..Leave a message on her Myspace. Support Real Music, and Bring Video Shows back to the Air!
