    O1LT.COM MUSIC REVIEW: BLACK TY-"GHETTO ROYALTY"!!!

    By L.T. Dinwiddie

    Forget what you know about cookie cutter R&B sensation Tyrese Gibson. Most of us remember him as the young bright eyed soul singer belting out the Coca Cola theme song like no other. Females all across the country were hopping on local transit systems in attempt to find a coke and his smile. But after years of doing the R&B thang, an alter ego has emerged and “Black Ty” is his name. I will be the first to admit that when I got word Tyrese’s was going to put out a rap album I thought the idea was corny and down right stupid. It would seem that his recent street thug roles had gotten the best of him and out of nowhere he thought he could spit 16 bars. But the minute I put in his new mix tape “Ghetto Royalty” my mouth dropped in shock. No matter what people are calling him these days, the last thing you'd call him is whack, the boy got skills. It seemed that his aspiring rap career was almost sidelined earlier this year when tracks from his upcoming project were leaked all over the internet. But it looks like you can’t count a brutha like Black Ty (Tyrese) out, especially when he’s got such a strong hunger to be in the game and get his respect.

    The first song “Switch It Up” is ridiculous and Black Ty's lyrical delivery has an unlikely finesse that is hot. As I listened to this album every track seemed to get better and better…with the exception of “Give It Te Me Girl” feat Memphis Bleek and “The Watcher” “Ghetto Royalty” is worthy of the respect of any rapper in the game today. I do believe that Black Ty is the first hip hop artist to get Stevie Wonder to appear on a track. (Will Smith’s “Wild Wild West” doesn’t count) and that in itself is miraculous.

    Black Ty’s lyrical project reflects his growth as an artist, rapper and entertainer. He stands to give current rappers in the game serious competition when his album drops. As much as I would love to hate on Black Ty, as much as I would love to tell everyone this is CD is garbage and to not waste your time, I cant. Black Ty is doing his thing and “Ghetto Royalty” is on fiyah. There’s a line he says on “Get Cake” feat Cassidy: “I’m gonna get mine. Whether it’s singing, rhyming or whatever it is, I’m about my money”. I have to say that I tend to agree with him. If this CD is anything like his new album "Alter Ego" which hits stores on November 28th (J. Records) I will be sliding into a record store to get my copy.

    My rating system is as follows:

    W.B. - Worth Buying
    B.L.-Bootleg It-$5.00
    D.L.-Own it on the Low
    NXT-Next Album Please (Whack!)

    O1LT.COM "HOT AND BLACK" REPORT-BEYONCE/BLIND ITEMS/JOHN LEGEND!!!!

    BY L.T. Dinwiddie

    **Today the"Hot and Black" report is very short. I got in late from a long night. I know its no excuse but surely you can undestand. I will have a full report on Monday. Have a great weekend.

    As I am looking at these pictures of Beyoncé being ambushed by photographers while in London recently, I can’t help but realize that Beyoncé is a professional. I can’t tell you how many pictures I see of celebs being photographed showing all kind of unmentionables. But in all these picture’s B has her hand firmly in place covering her cat trap. People are saying that she is hammered (drunk), but I don’t think so.MORE PICTURES THERE'S EVEN A VIDEO

    My girl Myra Panache has posted her Friday "Blind Items". Do you know who they are??

    BLIND ITEM #1 by Sin-Q

    This black female celebrity tries to have a innocent image. In reality, she is a stone cold freak behind closed doors. Nothing is too freaky for her. She has even dressed up as a dominatrix. She goes all out trying to please her men but it doesn't seem to work because she has no problem getting a man, she just can't keep a man. On one occasion, she got into it with another female singer (one hit wonder, just as freaky) when she walked in on the singer 'going downtown' on her famous man, they came to blows before they were separated. This same man, taped himself having sex with our female celebrity (without her knowledge) and continues to show this tape to a chosen few. I had the opportunity to view this tape, our female celebrity could have easily been mistaken as a porn star. Since this incident, she has been in a string of relationships, she has been kicked to the curb by a few men, another man tried to throw her out of her a speeding car (that she was paying the note on). She has become so desperate and pathetic for male attention, she is now giving men gifts. Similar to a "sugar mama."

    BLIND ITEM #2 by Algiers

    This white 'liberal' female celebrity pretends like she fights for minority causes. This all changed when her son started dating a bi-racial pre-med student. She went ballistic. She tried everything in her power to break up the relationship. She even called the young woman, demanding to know every ounce of her lineage and she often referred to the girlfriend as "the nurse" despite the fact she was studying to become a doctor. She became so out of control, her husband tried to rein her in. The harassment became so severe, the pre-med student broke off the relationship and our white female liberal went back to fighting causes for the underdog.

    Come close to your computer screen. OK that’s to close, back up a little. So listen Myra Panache is reporting that John Legend is saying it is possible to be a "gentleman" and still be tempted away from your girlfriend while on the road. He goes on to say "I've just started dating someone so I don't want to jinx it by talking about it. "We'll see how it goes but the music business is the worst one to sustain relationships in because you're in a different city every day and you have lots of women throwing themselves at you. "So you have to be disciplined and be with someone who trusts you-and who you don't want to cheat on. "But there's always another woman around the corner, so it's hard to settle down because you feel you might be missing out on something. "You can be a gentleman and yet still feel that way."

    The one thing I hate about myself yet love about myself is my ability to see through bullshit. Now I have defended Kanye West (which most of you bit my head off for doing so) about his “suspicious” ways, but I’m sorry I can’t sit back and let this one go. It is my opinion that the only thing John Legend finds “hard” about being on the road is which male companion(s) will accompany him to his hotel room, there I said it. Close your mouth you were thinking it too. Why do I feel like I am going to regret this comment? Love the music John.

    O1LT.COM HAS POSTED LIVE RADIO FEEDS FOR WENDY WILLIAMS FANS!!!!!



    It’s no big secret that I am huge fan of Wendy Williams on WBLS in New York. I have grown into the man I am today with her loud mouth in the background. I have watched her career rise, fall and rise again. Though I don’t know her personally I feel like she is an Aunt in my head. I know a lot of you guys are Wendy fans as well and I also know that WBLS has stopped their live feed for quite some time now.

    I was talking to a friend of mine who didn’t know that she is nationally syndicated and there are other ways to listen to all the “How you doing”, “Owwww”, “A toe is a toe” and “It is what it is” until your hearts content. As a service to you guys here are the radio feeds brought to you by Power99 out of Philly and WTMP out of Tampa. These links are also posted to the left right under the spinning calendar. You can also listen to her cohost Charlamagne “The God”; they compliment each other very well.

    DIDDY TALKS TO V103'S RYAN CAMERON!!!

    L.T. Dinwiddie
    As I mentioned last week Diddy was in Atlanta recently on his grind trying to drum up album sales for his new album “Press Play” which is in stores October 17,2006. As you know I am not the biggest Diddy fan. OK I take that back I’m a fan of his older records circa 1997-1998, but anything beyond that for me has been garbage. I know a lot of you guys are Diddy fans so I don’t discriminate his content from O1LT.com. You can watch the interview here, just “Press Play” (shameless plug. See Diddy even though I hate on you, I still support you)

    **Sidebar Atlantic Records I am waiting for that album to do my review dont forget me.

    O1LT.COM **EXCLSUIVE INTERVIEW CONTINUED!!!

    By L.T. Dinwiddie

    O1LT: For those who don’t know who will contribute weekly columns to Hip-Hop Weekly?

    Dave:
    We got a lot of great contributors in the magazine --Wendy Williams is doing a two-page column in every issue so she will be bringing all her gossip and inside information and unique perspective. Star and Buc Wild will be doing a page in the magazine every issue. We have Cynthia Horner who is the long time editor and chief of Right On and Black Beat magazine who is doing a column. The guys from mixtapekings.com will be doing a situation on a mixtapes in every issue. Sonny who is a pretty well known radio host here in NY who will is doing a food and dining column. There are few other people; we have a lot of really good contributors

    O1LT: How challenging is to put together a weekly publication verses a monthly publication?

    Dave:
    It’s a different beast, we are learning as we go along. It’s different but it’s actually an easier type of format once you understand it and organize it. Even though you have more frequency and a deadline every 8-10 days (next year we will go weekly, right now we are just a bi-weekly publication). There are a lot of advantages to this format that don’t exist in a monthly format like The Source.


    O1LT: How involved are the two of you in the overall operations of Hip-Hop Weekly.?

    Dave:
    Very involved, this our baby!! This is our new venture and a way of getting back into the multi-media and entertainment game. So this magazine is very much a daily focus for us.

    O1LT: Considering all that you two have done for hip-hop - - at the height of The Source magazine controversy did you ever feel like people in hip hop community turned there backs on you?

    Dave:
    Um..Yea! I think that I expected one or two influential people to step and support the issues that we raised; I think that it would have made a big difference. In retrospect I have learned to not expect that. I don’t have any bad feelings about it. I stand behind everything that we did. Are there things that I would do differently? Of course! Did I learn from my mistakes? Yes! I’ve made a lot of mistakes over the years, but I hope to be able to apply what I’ve learned from those things to the new situation that I am launching now.

    O1LT: Due to how you parted with The Source magazine is their any remaining conflict with other artists?

    Dave:
    Not at all – Benzino and I have gotten a lot of love from artists and producers and the people of hip-hop for a long time. We have a long track record of giving and showing people a lot of love. We have touched a lot of people in every community across the United States. We’ve gotten good support and we expect to get even greater support. Every one who has seen the magazine loves it. It’s an outlet that is very much needed. With the support of the public buying the magazine, everything else will fall into place. I will say that this is a format that doesn’t really require the support of artist’s to make the magazine; this is format where you aren’t doing a lot of interviews or in depth stuff. It’s covering news and you don’t need to have the artists participating in the magazine. It would make it better if they do, but if they don’t it’s not a problem.

    O1LT: Where do you see The Source going now that you two are no longer affiliated with the magazine?

    Dave: I think it’s already shown to have gone down a lot. I think it’s changed a lot. People are seeing that the quality of the magazine has suffered. Ray and I had a vision and our personalities -- who we are is a lot of what made The Source what it was. When you take that away then you are left with something completely different. I don’t know what’s going to happen with them. I just know that Hip Hop Weekly is going to make a big impact. We have a lot of people have who read The Source over the years that are supporters of me and Benzino. And I think that those people will support us on this new venture. We will see what happens. We will see what the future holds.

    O1LT.COM "HOT AND BLACK" REPORT-REV RUN/TERELL OWENS/JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE/KELLY ROWLAND/ANNA NICOLE SMITH!!!!!

    By L.T. Dinwiddie


    Rev. Run has issued the following statement about the tragic death of his daughter to the Associated Press: "On Sept. 26, 2006, Victoria Anne Simmons for some unknown reason chose to come early and unfortunately did not survive," his statement said. "We must accept whatever is there and once you accept unconditionally, then everything is beautiful. Every pain has a purifying effect. So whatever comes your way, just be thankful. We see life in death and believe in the celebration of life in death."

    ****Again my heart goes out to the Simmons family

    This is exactly why I don’t get into going to celebrity events. Bouncers tend to have bad attitude problems and treat people very badly. Case in point Nelly Furtado’s assistant got served a beat down after accidentally being left behind as Nelly entered the club. When her assistant tried to let the bouncer know that he is with Nelly, that’s when all hell broke loose. I’m telling you I know me and had I of been in that situation I would be in prison for life. You would all being hearing about be today. FULL STORY

    I tell you, things are not always as they seem. Dallas Cowboy Wide Receiver Terell Owens seems like he has it all. He has millions of dollars, a new football contract, endorsement deals, a beautiful girlfriend and he’s not bad looking at all (no homo), but according to MSNBC, Terell tried to commit suicide by overdosing on pain medication Tuesday night. He wasn’t successful as fire rescue workers came to his aide. He is quoted as saying he was “depressed” by his friends. All I know is that if he really wanted to “end it all” then he would have. These fake suicide attempts people pull are sad and pathetic. FULL STORY MORE TO THE STORY

    7. Method Man – 3 weeks on charts
    8. Cassie – 6 weeks on charts( to be fair that’s not a big surprise)

    Kelly Rowland has scrapped her first album plans and is now rerecording new songs for her sophomore album. Do we care???

    "It was basically a list of songs that I put together about the past three years of my life, with love and relationships," Rowland said of the album. "And I remember listening to the record, and I was just like, 'I don't want this to be too deep to where, you know, [I] lose people.' I still wanna have my party records, and I still wanna make people get up and bob their heads and vibe a little bit. And the record was too full of midtempos and ballads, so I wanted to bring it up a little bit. I mean, I'm 25. I'm young!" FULL STORY

    Fantasia Barrino's life pre-American Idol may not have been a fairy tale, but according to her father, the book about her life includes some parts that are pure fiction. The American Idol winner's dad, Joseph Barrino, sued publisher Simon & Schuster for $10 million Tuesday, alleging that the 2005 memoir Fantasia: Life Is Not a Fairytale contains "false, exaggerated, sensational, intentional and malicious untruths."

    I know this isn’t “Hot” or “Black” but I just couldn’t ignore this. Though I don’t report on white people’s entertainment news, (respect to the white people in the world but there are more then enough media outlets/blogs for you all to get your exposure. But only a handful of blogs that dedicate themselves to black entertainment) I do silently pay attention and I have been watching this Anna Nicole Smith debacle go down for years. I am not ashamed to admit that I watched her reality show when it was on “E”, but after seeing this report on TMZ.com today I have to say, what a piece of white trash, I’m sorry!!!! After all the pregnancy allegations that were thrown around as to whose the father of her new born baby girl. It’s been revealed that her attorney Howard Stern is the baby daddy. What a piece of White Trash!!!! FULL STORY

    REV RUN'S AND HIS WIFE LOSE NEW BORN BABY!!!


    A rapper's wife gave birth Thursday, but the scene quickly turned to tragedy after their newborn girl was pronounced dead.

    Rev Run, a.k.a. Joseph Simmons, shocked fans last year when he announced that his wife Justine was pregnant on his MTV reality show "Run's House."

    Justine's pregnancy was the cliffhanger on the MTV show last season. It generated intense interest among viewers who have been anxiously following the pregnancy and awaiting the birth. FULL STORY

    O1LT.COM **EXCLUSIVE-DIDDY'S NEW SONG "EVERYTHING I LOVE"!!!!!

    L.T. Dinwiddie


    I’ve said this before and I will say it again, I don’t know why in the hell Diddy, Puffy, P.Diddy, Sean John whatever he is calling himself these days won’t just hang it up. Let me just say that I am pro New York hip-hop and I am desperate for the North to take hip-hop music back from the south, but I am not that desperate. Here is a track from Diddy’s new album “Press Play”-“Everything I Love”. Of course Nas is doing what Nas does and in my opinion he is the only thing making this track tolerable. Cee-Lo’s talent is wasted on this track, but don’t take my word for it.

    HOW TO SPOT A DL BROTHER!!!



    Byron Crawford has posted an interesting report on DL Brothers and how to spot them out. Its very interesting and kind of funny. Ladies don't take it to literally, just take it as a good read.

    A Guide for the Ladies
    According to a recent study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, nearly one in ten men who claim to be straight also happen to have sex with other men. Furthermore, 70% of these DL brothers also happen to be married to women. Yikes! The health implications are obvious, with the scourge that is AIDS reaching epidemic levels in the black community and especially among black women. As a public service (no Paul Reubens) to my sisters, I put together the following common sense guide to whether or not your man is on the DL. Note: For the remainder of this post, I'll be instituting a special state of no homo Juelz Santana.

    Five signs your man might be on the down low:


    Has he been to prison?
    Sadly, a lot of brothers pick up these dl tendencies in the joint. Because there aren't any women around, they begin to tell themselves that it's okay to fuck other guys, but they never quite fully accept the fact that they're gay. Indeed once they get out they try to live like straight men, but it can be difficult to give up bufu-ing once you've developed a taste for it. A woman just isn't going to be tight enough anymore.

    What kind of jewelry does he wear?
    Not that I own anything other than a high school class ring, but I personally tend to avoid wearing any jewelry altogether. A gold chain or two might be acceptable for certain ethnic minorities, but once it crosses the line into pinky rings and big-ass earrings and what have you, I'd advise you to steer way clear. Multiple piercings are another dead giveaway. General rule of thumb: If he's rocking a tongue ring, he might have AIDS.

    Has he taken you to the California Pizza Kitchen? There's a lot of shit a straight man just doesn't do, and eating a pizza with 15 different types of shit that's not made out of pork would have to be chief among them. General rule of thumb: If he drinks any kind of malt liquor beverage that's not beer, he might have AIDS.

    Does he own any Maxwell CDs?
    Check the nigga's CD collection. If there's an abundance of R&B music produced after, say, 1996, then he might be gay. Personally, I wouldn't trust any man who owns a Maxwell CD. Even that first one with "Ascension (Don't Ever Wonder)."

    Is he really into physical fitness?
    This is a tricky one, because a woman's natural Darwin tendency is to have sex with men who are in good physical condition. That said, a brother that's rocking a six pack is naturally going to be that much more suspect than a brother that's rocking the proverbial fuel tank for a sex machine, especially if he doesn't have any reason to work out other than the fact that he "likes to look good in a suit." General rule of thumb: If he likes to rock tight-ass shirts to show off his physique, he might have AIDS.

    It looks like “The Boondocks” comic strip which was scheduled to return back to newspapers in October, but Creator Aaron McGruder is so busy with the cartoon version of the hit comic and other business ventures that he has decided to extend his already six month hiatus. I really enjoy his comic strip so I hope he changes his mind and gets it back in newspapers soon. FULL STORY

    In a recent interview with The Fader magazine, Beanie Sigel revealed that he is no longer with Def Jam or Roc-A-Fella Records. He also outlined his plans to release a new, as-yet untitled mixtape, his first since releasing 2005's The B. Coming
    The mixtape, which will be officially released through Def Jam, will be Beans' last project for the label. Citing his unwillingness to choose between mutual friends Jay-Z and Damon Dash after the initial Roc-a-Fella split and what he feels was poor promotion for his album The B. Coming, Beans has decided to part ways with his former recording home. FULL STORY

    Is Lupe Fiasco a fraud? That’s what Byron Crawford is reporting. Apparently what you in the dark will always come to light. I realize that I am being a tad bit dramatic alluding that this information will shock you, but I think your feeling will be more like “who cares”! FULL STORY

    Bobby Brown is just a mess these days, actually ever since he was a kid. His messation (made up a new word how about that) is unfortunate and he continues to get worse and worse.

    I’ll bet you $50.00 that The Game’s new album "Doctor's Advocate," due Nov. 14 via Geffen is going to flop. His first single “One Blood” is terrible to put it nicely and not express my inner hood rat. It looks like 50 cent has more power then I wanted to give him credit for. FULL STORY


    Myra Panache
    has brought up a very good point about Janet’s weight gain on her entertainment report. I swear I thought this myself (honestly) but Janet claims that she gained 60lbs for a film “Tennessee”, however insiders from the film are saying that nobody asked Janet to gain weight for the film. If you think about it, it doesn’t make much sense seeing that the role is now going to be played by Mariah Carey. You know she won’t be gaining any weight for the part. I know we will never know, but it is my belief that Janet was never really 60lbs overweight. I believe it was a lot of padding and clothing to garner publicity for this new album. Janet fans put down your pitch forks. I’m not saying, I’m just saying.

    STAR "DAMN"JONES IS PISSED!!!!!


    Star Jones has given the National Enquirer an ultimatum: either admit that a story calling her her marriage a "sham" is untrue, or prepare to do battle in court (and remember, Star is a lawyer).

    Bob Chapman, the high-powered attorney who represents Star and Al, tells TMZ that the Enquirer's story that Al is gay and the marriage is falling apart is not true. Chapman insists, "They are happily married," adding that Star is "emotional and stressed out" over the story.

    "HOT AND BLACK" REPORT-BENZINO/JANET/OPRAH/SAM JACKSON/50 CENT/CAMRON!!!

    BY L.T. Dinwiddie


    As previously reported here at O1LT.com Former Editor and Chief Mimi Valdez, former owner of The Source magazine Benzion and nationally syndicated On Air Personality Wendy Williams have all partnered together to bring you a new magazine “The Truth” a new urban magazine that is being compared to Us Weekly and Intouch Weekly. They recently spoke to allhiphop.com to explain exactly what this new magazine will be all about.

    ***Sidebar if anyone reading this column knows how I can get a hold of any of them please let me know. Your boy is trying to become a writer for the magazine.FULL STORY/AUDIO

    I’d file this under the “W.T.F” file. Julissa, former host of 106&Park, is trying record an album, are you serious? If she puts out an album I will officially be over it.FULL STORY

    In case you haven’t noticed we do things a little bit different here at O1LT.com then most other sites out there. We don’t post a lot of fashion picture or celebrity events. No disrespect to the other sites that do that, but I personally feel there are enough sites that bring you all that “other” stuff. With that being said I realize you all might want to see celebrity events from time to time, and if I find some I don’t mind directing you to other sites to see. There are two really good sites that offer tons of great pictures. One is hipandpop.com and the other is ybf.blogspot.com. Here are some links to their sites for you to see their most recent celebrity events.HIP AND POP YBF

    Random Thought…..

    I want to take a moment to acknowledge you, that’s right you the one who comes to this site and gives me inspiration to keep it going. O1LT.com takes a lot of our personal time, and we sacrifice a lot to bring you all what’s “Hot and Black” in urban entertainment. We know you could be at a million other sites out there but you choose us and we appreciate it.

    Fans come in all shapes sizes and genders even transgendered woman. To be honest I dont know why this is even making news. People are making it sound like Camron is sucking face with the he-she chick. From the looks of the picture he is just granting a fan a picture.CAMRON WITH A FAN

    Sam Jackson and Curtis Jackson’s new movie trailer “Home of the Brave”

    Janet’s appearance on Oprah yesterday was very enlightening. It’s good to see her wearing some clothes for a change. ("I keed, I keed Janet") I had to admit that whenever she performs now all I focus on are her breast. Janet wears such low cut tops I am always secretly praying that one or both of her breasts won’t make an encore appearance.


    I know it’s sad for me to say what I am bout to say but though I don’t get excited when it comes to celebrities, I could see myself freaking out over Janet Jackson!!! I strongly believe that God never gives you too much for you to handle, but seeing that I live here in Atlanta and frequent celebrity events often and have NEVER even been in the same room as her tells me deep down that I cant meet her. I will make a complete fool of myself, but I really want to meet her, I really do!!!!

    Contrary to popular belief it seems that Puffy doesn’t run NYC, the US Government does.FULL STORY

    "Oprah and Friends" debuted today on XM radio and I have to admit that though I am a huge fan of “The Big O” I am not quite sure how I feel about listening to her and Gayle share “intimate” (no gay pun intended) conversations. I just don’t care to hear the personal side of Oprah. Oprah is like a mother in my head, and I don’t want to humanize her. Listening to Gayle and Oprah is like walking in on your parents having sex, again no “gay” pun intended. FULL STORY



    I don’t have anything to say about this one. I will say that this kinda plays on what Lucy Diamond was talking about when I interviewed her.LUCY DIAMOND INTERVIEW

    HAPPY MONDAY, BLIND ITEMS!!!!!

    You know the panachereport.com gives us blind items every Monday Wednesday and Friday. Can you guess who it is?

    This black female celebrity was rumored to have been an nymphomaniac in high school. For the last several years, she has been labeled a sex addict in the industry and she's known as the girl to go to when you need a "quick fix." Numerous men have her on redial and she soaks up the attention. She doesn't seem to have control over her urges or impulses. She also uses sex to calm her nerves and when she gets depressed, she uses sex as an "anti-depressant." Her reputation is so bad, she has never had a steady boyfriend, just brief flings. Her addiction has become so severe, when she gets lonely and starved for affection, it is not uncommon for her to have sex with a male aide. It's rumored that she averages 2-3 sexual encounters a day, sometimes with different men.

    To receive a clue for today's blind item and to hear additional info about the HIV-positive black actor and to get a clue to the identity of the famous black couple and the "unusual" escort from our above sky villa link, click on the following link,

    What’s with the sudden explosion of interest with hip-hop and homosexuality lately? Not since 1997-1998 when Wendy Williams was on her gay crusade have I heard so many rumors concerning rappers. First it was Baby and Lil Wayne from Cash Money, and then Kanye West was being looked at with the crooked eye, probably still is. Then Lucy Diamonds struck at Jay-Z’s sexual character (brought to you by O1LT.COM), and now we are back to Baby and Lil Wayne again.

    Juvenile was on HOT 97 recently and he was airing out all of Baby and Lil Wayne’s business. He talked about the infamous “106 and Park” kiss, or was it” Rap City”? To what goes on behind the scenes at Cash Money Records. I wished he would have gone all the way and dished all the dirt, but he didn’t. Juvenile stopped short of calling them gay, but alluded to it so much that he really didn’t have too.



    It’s just a mess right now in hip-hop, more so now then ever, excluding the massacre that took our pioneers Notorious BIG and Tupac.

    Speaking of Gay....

    O1LT.COM SPECIAL REPORT-BIGGEST ACTS TURNING OUT TO BE THE BIGGEST FLOPS!!!

    By L.T. Dinwiddie



    The world's biggest acts turning out to be the biggest flops!

    It seems that the biggest acts can’t seem to sell records according to billboard.com. Three top tier entertainers that have always dominated the charts have failed to reach gold status after most of them have been on Billboard for at least three weeks. Here is my full report


    Christina Aguilera: After being on the charts for 5 weeks her newest album “Back to Basics” has failed to sell over 500,000 copies and hasn’t been certified gold by the RIAA. Christina Aguilera’s last album “Stripped” sold over 12 millions copies world wide, but her latest musical project is looking to me more of flop.

    Beyoncé Knowles: Now before I say what I am about to say, please understand that I am not attacking Ms. Knowles. I am just comparing past sales records to current sales figures. I realize that she has only been on the Billboard 200 for two weeks, but compared to previous sales results she should already be on her way to a platinum album which doesn’t seem to be the case. One thing I find completely interesting about her latest album is that it reportedly sold 541,000 copies in its first week according to soundscan, yet billboard hasn’t certified it gold on their charts. I pay close attention to the billboard weekly, hell even daily sometimes and I know they are pretty thorough in their chart updating. What I also find VERY interesting is after being on the charts for just one week “B-Day” sales plummeted from 541,000 copies to 162,000 copies. All that tells me is that fans weren’t the only one’s buying albums. Someone else had have helped along the way, her record label perhaps?

    OutKast: With all the rumors of a break up it seems that fans have mix feelings about the future of Outkast. The pioneering southern hip-hop group that brought us all such great hits like “Mrs. Jackson”, “Rosa Parks”, and "B.O.B. (Bombs Over Baghdad)" has seemed to go their own ways musically. Their latest CD hit stores in August in conjunction with their first movie as a group “IdleWild”, and though their movie was a mild success, fans seemed to lose interest in Outkast’s music capability on this album after just one week. The “IdleWild” Soundtrack debuted at number 2 selling over 196,000 copies. But after being on the charts for more then 3 weeks it has also failed to sale over 500,000 copies. A failure in comparison to their last album “Speakerboxx/The Love Below”, which sold 10 million copies to date.

    Either music fans are losing interests with today’s current music, or these artists have been around too long where people have lost interest.Whatever the reason is you can’t help but notice that at the end of the day the lack of sales of their CD’s will affect their bottom line. No matter what the may say artists want and need to sale records. Let’s hope we see a turn around going into the holiday season.
