Some critics said "Idlewild is the worst hip-hop musical since the debacle of a film Carmen: A Hip-Hopera.

Damn that Foxxy, she just won’t do right for anything. I personally find her story the most tragic of all the female rappers. It’s bad enough that she is currently in a legal matter(s) over the alleged beat down she served at some nail salon, and lets not forget the "terroristic threats" against her former personal assistant Rasheeda Ellis,but now the NYPost is reporting that she has been caught shoplifting. It’s just sad Foxxy, very sad indeed. FULL STORY
Its time for another round of “Sit The Hell Down”, I am your host LT and this week’s contestant is none other then the “candle in the wind” star himself, Mr. Elton John. Elton recently told the Rolling stone that he wants to work with Dr. Dre on a hip hop album. He is quoted as saying:” "I want to work with Pharrell, Timbaland, Snoop, Kanye, Eminem and just see what happens," John says in the Sept. 7 issue. "It may be a disaster, it could be fantastic, but you don't know until you try."
See what happens when we let people like Kevin Federline have a hand at hip hop? Every white person on the planet now wants to do it. Elton we love you for your contribution to music, one of my favorite movies is the Lion King, in part because you wrote some great songs for that film and though it pains me to say this, I’m going to have to tell you to “Sit The Hell Down Somewhere”. Aint nobody trying to hear you hip hop nothing!!! FULL STORY

It’s all a bunch of nonsense if you ask me. First off any publicist will tell you “there’s no such thing as bad press”, Matthew can release all the statements he wants, but it’s my opinion that someone associated with Beyonce Knowles Inc. is leaking these stories to the media to make for a media frenzy. MSNBC was the main news source to release the Beyoncé wedding news, and a news company that big won’t release a story without going through legal first. Secondly Beyoncé hasn’t sold 140 million albums worldwide, that is an total lie, albums sold under Destiny’s Child don’t count towards her solo success. And third Beyonce, though as successful as she has become, isn’t above a sophomore jinx. It’s just all a bunch of nonsense to me.

Danity Kane's newly released self-titled debut is the fastest selling album in the U.S., with 90,000 CD's sold on its first day in stores. To the surprise of music industry watchers, the Danity Kane is competing successfully with new offerings from proven popular artists such as Outkast and Christina Aguilera. Despite a lack of radio play, fans of the Bad Boy Records R&B group buzzed the singers' single online, making "Show Stopper" one of the most streamed songs on MySpace, with almost five and a half million plays. The full length album is currently the top seller on iTunes.FULL STORY Read More...

I had heard about the situation and that’s when she told me people are saying homo things about Kanye. I immediately told her Kanye West = No Homo. I don’t get that vibe when I look at him; when I watch his interviews, or his flashy persona. Is he a cocky bastard? Absolutely! But no homo.
Then later on today I go to one of my favorite sites mediatakeout.com and I realized where the question my coworker asked me originated.
Media is reporting that Kanye West and John Legend have an “oddly close relationship”. They go onto report that when Kanye got word that mediatakeout were working on an Exclusive exposé about his sexuality, he quickly got engaged.
Let’s not go off the deep end mediatkeout, I mean really I don’t see a homosexual when I see Kanye. Farnzworth Bently, yes, John Legend maybe, but Kanye, nah I just don’t see it.
But Speaking of Homo....
We’ve all heard for years by the fabulous Wendy Williams, about Puffy’s “sausage loving” ways (read between the lines). But now some very suspect pictures have emerged that

I have been as tasteful as I can in expressing my thoughts about Puff and his entire situation(s). At the end of the day the man is making his dough and that is to be commended. He's some how managed to still keep his popularity amongst an ever changing music industry, and though he doens't seem to be keeping up with the times with whack singing acts like "Cassie", Danity Kane(love you D. Woods, but it is what it is), and even himself, he's still contributing by keeping things "sexy". As far as the other stuff, well in my mind I’ve collected all the information, deliberated, and reached my own personal verdict, and it doesn’t take a genius to figure out my assessment. If you cant fiugre out what I think, then look at these photo's, what do think I think? PUFFY PHOTOS
All these damn photos of celebrities leaking on the internet, let me tell you something, If I ever become a celebrity I might as well confess everything, because GOD knows I’ve been photographed doing some compromising sh*t that haters will post in a heartbeat. Well Keisha Cole is the latest celebrity victim of someone trying to hate on her game. The photo is very “call girl” esk, but other then that I don’t see anything scandalous about it. If anything she’s more appealing to me because I didn’t realize she’s got such a phat a*s. (kids it’s not appropriate to address a woman so distastefully) KEISHA COLE PICTURE

Random Thuoght..
This is just my opinion, but after watching Big Boi, Scar and Janelle Monae on TRL (while Andre 3000 watched from the sidelines), and getting an exclusive sneak peak of “IdleWild”, I am convinced that Outkast is no longer. I could be wrong, but the vibe just seems to be off, the body language and everything is off. I'm going to love the music until I die, but something tells me Outkast wont be making new music anytime soon. But make sure you go to see the movie this weekend.

This legendary soul man is extremely well known in black communities across the country. In his prime, he had a string of platinum hits and women flocked to his sold-out concerts. He became a household name and he became wealthy in the process. He has been guarded regarding his personal life and he has never discussed his children.
What fans don't know: This man has a frightening dark side and that's why he surrounds himself with scandalous women (mainly street hookers or female ex-cons) because if they went to the police on him, it's doubtful anyone would take their word over his.
This man has beaten women so brutally through the years, it's surprising that he hasn't killed a woman. Only once, did a magazine (Jet) report on a domestic violence incident regarding him. To appease his family, he married a church woman from his hometown. On the night of the wedding, he presented her with diamond earrings (heir looms) from a close relative.
She thought she had married her prince charming. The next morning, for no apparent reason, he started in on her and ended up punching her in the stomach and ripping off the earrings from her ears, leaving her ear lobes bloody in the process. The unprovoked beatings would continue and she lived in fear of her life. She would escape while he was out on the road. This singer has also had run-in's with other artists. One of his background singers got a message regarding a family emergency, when he told the singer, he had to leave the tour because one of his parents was gravely ill, the singer said, you "leave and you're fired." The background singer was stunned but quit on the spot. A soul group who once opened for him, stole the show, in return, he did everything in his power to sabotage them. He made their lives so miserable, they quit the tour. This man is so complexed, he reads the bible and prays constantly despite his demons. Hint: This man is "NOT" James Brown or R. Kelly.

KIM PORTER "BEST BABY'S MOTHER OF THE MILLENNIMUM"!!!!

I’ve said it before that Kim Porter is legendary in the entertainment industry. She has successfully mastered the game when it comes to horizontal positioning (read between the lines) to get the finer things in life.
Kim Porter has never been a rookie when it came to being the girlfriend of a superstar. She came to NYC from Atlanta in the early 90's where she was a receptionist at the now defunct Uptown Records. At that time she was dating the hottest R&B artist of the moment AL B. Sure, they have a child together, but when AL B. Sure’s star started to descend she quickly locked horns on another rising superstar-now the world famous Sean “Puffy”, “P. Diddy”, “Diddy”, Combs.
Since giving birth to Christian, Kim has stood by while Puffy has continued to live his life as a bachelor. Puffy has dated Jennifer Lopez, and is rumored to now have another child (newborn) by someone here in Atlanta, but I haven’t investigated that enough to know the details (at the end of the day I have my own damn problems, and I can’t be searching this city for information on baby’s mothers, I’m not the National Inquirer). Kim has also stood by Puffy even when he (allegedly) wouldn’t pay up when it came to supporting her, and her children. There have been recent reports that Puffy has proposed to Kim and that they will soon wed, but don’t hold your breath on that one.

I get excited reporting news, and entertainment information, putting the “o1lt” spin on it to make it interesting, but when it comes to Beyoncé, Star and “Gal” I lose the inspiration to keep it attention-grabbing.

The latest report is that Beyoncé and Jay-Z are planning a three million dollar wedding in late November. Every body is talking about this rumor. In my car on my way to school this morning, that’s all the radio was talking about, and all I can do is sit back and look dumbfounded because has everyone forgotten how private Beyoncé is? Since when has she ever told anyone, anything about her personal life, especially when it involves her hip hop beau Jay-Z. People just grab a rumor and go full force with it, and its crazy. I know we here at the “Hot and Black Experience” contribute occasionally to the hysteria of the rumor mill, but we also keep it real on this site. And if I can keep it real for a moment, when Beyoncé and Jay make that move to become united in spirit and love and all that bullsh*t, something tells me we wont know much about it.FULL STORY

Dallas Austin tells eurweb that the cocaine incident that had him in a Dubai prison was blown way out of proportion.

“I wasn’t in prison, it was nothing like that,” he clarifies, adding that the facility where he was kept had plasma TVs and other creature comforts. “Knowing that I was gonna leave this place, I had one of the best experiences I could ever have.”
I wish could post my facial reactions when I read bullsh*t like this. This is exactly why I do what I do, because I have such a strong opinion, and my thinking isn’t any different from most. Let’s cut the crap, Dallas Austin was in a PRISON!!! I don’t care if they had Burberry sheets, diamond encrusted urinals, and was being served Cristal Champagne; he was confined and couldn’t leave the country over drug possession, nah scrach that, cocaine possession. My web-girl Sandra Rose (a well respected photographer here in Atlanta) posted an article on her website blowing the lid off the entire Dallas Austin cover up formed by members of his camp, so please Dallas cut the bullsh*t. Dallas can dance around the issue all he wants, but he and Whitney have the same drug of choice(allegedly).

Mediatakeout.com is reporting that due to two mediocre singles from Ms. Beyoncé Knowles that her father and manager Matthew Knowles is trying to have the album delayed to rework tracks and make the album more marketable. Though the article makes for an interesting read, I don’t see this happening. Record labels pay a lot of money to release an album, especially acts like Beyoncé. Her album is slated for release on September 5th which if you look at your calendar its less then 14 days away. To pull the album now would be a financially catastrophe, and Sony BMG has to know that. Let’s see what happens, but I seriously doubt it.FULL STORY

Yesterday I reported that Busta Rhymes was arrested over the weekend. Now there is more information on his situation. While in custody, the NYPD questioned Rhymes about the February murder of Ramirez, his bodyguard. It is Busta's refusal to cooperate with authorities that his lawyer says is the police's motivation for booking the rapper.
"He was eligible for a desk appearance ticket. But what happened here is that they put in the system as a payback," Leemon told reporters. However, police insist the charges were simply too serious to issue an immediate desk ticket.
Listen I know its really not respected to talk to the police, "popo", "pigs", whatever you want to call them, but it is what it is. To me if you know something, anything that will bring justice and peace to the Ramirez family then why not do so?

This soul diva's career has cooled down and she is desperately trying to hang on to her marriage. Earlier this year, her husband asked for a divorce and she begged him to stay. He's having second thoughts about his decision to stay and he acts distant towards her. He seemed to be the perfect mate when her career was on fire, since it cooled off, he wants to move on. Despite her career shortcomings, she still struts around like a diva and she continues to order people around and scream at her background singers. Behind her back, people are whispering, "she's such an has been and everyone realizes it but her." If her husband does eventually divorce her, despite him having a career, expect him to ask for alimony because she stays financially aflot due to publishing rights.
