Blueprint 3 Leaks…Sorry Jay :(

Jay-z The Blueprint 3 was leaked in it's entirety earlier today despite Jay-Z's valliant effort to prevent his work being heard before his September 11th drop date.

Jay has been mum on the situation but Memphis Bleek points the finger at Timbaland.

"Man, you know where that's coming from. That's Timbo's camp. Somebody is playin' dirty. It's cool though. I like to see the people's opinions. I've been reading the comments on Jay's records saying that the beats don't sound like this or that. I think they just set the bar too high for my guy."

Damn Tim, I really hope you didn't see Jay out like that. But anywho, the album is chock full of guest appearances such as J. Cole, Kanye, Kid Cudi, etc. I personally feel really bad for Mr. Carter so I won't be posting the album here but if you google it, I'm sure you can find it. I have however, posted the tracklisting below.

01 What We Talkin’ About (Feat. Luke Steele of Empire of The Sun
02 Thank You
03 D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)
04 Run This Town (Feat. Rihanna And Kanye West)
05 Empire State of Mind (Feat. Alicia Keys)
06 Real As It Gets (Feat. Young Jeezy)
07 On To The Next One (Feat. Swizz Beatz)
08 Off That (Feat. Drake)
09 A Star Is Born (Feat. J. Cole)
10 Venus Vs. Mars
11 Already Home (Feat. Kid Cudi)
12 Haters (Feat. Kanye West)
13 Reminder
14 So Ambitious (Feat. Pharrell)
15 Young Forever (Feat. Mr. Hudson)

Don't worry Jay, I'm still copping the BP3 on 9/11. And by copping I mean, paying for it at a store…

DJ AM Found dead

Dj-am-undefeated-tshirt

From MTV.com

DJ AM has reportedly been found dead in his New York City apartment, according to multiple media sources, including TMZ and NBC New York. He was 36.

TMZ, citing a police source, reported that DJ AM (real name: Adam Goldstein) was found in his apartment at 5:20 p.m. ET on Friday afternoon (August 28). Citing "sources," the site also claimed that prescription medication bottles had been found near his body. The site also said that Goldstein had not been seen or heard from in days, and that friends who had previously gone to check on him had received no response. When police broke in the door, they reportedly found Goldstein's body.

A New York Police representative told MTV News on Friday that a 36-year-old white male had been found dead at 210 Lafayette Street in New York but had not yet been identified. Calls to DJ AM's rep for confirmation had not been returned at press time.

The news comes just under a year after Goldstein and Travis Barker survived a plane crash that killed four people. Leaving from Columbia, South Carolina, after a performance by the duo, the small Learjet they were on crashed upon takeoff — giving the two musicians serious burns and leaving them in critical condition.

Born in Philadelphia, Goldstein gained fame as a member of the band Crazy Town, best known for their hit song "Butterfly." He performed on albums with the likes of Madonna, Will Smith and Papa Roach, played in concert with Jay-Z, and made a name for himself on the private club circuit while DJing at private parties for the likes of Ashton Kutcher, Jennifer Lopez and Leonardo DiCaprio. Most recently, he had an exclusive contract with a Las Vegas nightclub, and had continued to collaborate with Barker after the crash.

Before his death, Goldstein had filmed a substance-abuse intervention show with MTV called "Gone Too Far" that aimed to warn young people about the perils of drug abuse. The show was scheduled to premiere in October.

Goldstein was a frequent tabloid target because of his relationships with Mandy Moore and Nicole Richie. He was engaged to Richie but the couple split late in 2005.

MTV News will have more on this story as it develops.

Damn, I wonder what happened? Who survives a plane crash only to die suddenly the next year?

RIP DJ AM

Fefe Dobson Speaks on Rihanna Jackin Her Swag

Rihanna-fefedobson

I've been telling people for forever that Rihanna hopped off Beyonce's nuts only to set up shop on Fefe Dobson's. Yes, Rihanna is killin the game right now in the style department but before she was doing it, Canadian pop singer, Fefe Dobson had it on lock.

Fefe sat down with Honey Mag and shared her thoughts on the situation:

The image thing — to go so extreme, from dancehall/reggae queen girl to cool, punky, rocker-chick. People say Rihanna bit your style.
I mean, for sure I question that, but who wouldn’t. She is supposedly a fan of mine. I try to take it as a compliment. It gets a little much when she starts getting the same tattoos as me but overall I just want people to separate the image and listen to the music. It’s about the music. Its like Prince and Michael Jackson, totally different artists. Or its like Kanye West and Jay-Z. So what? They are both black men, they sound different. So they both wear jeans, they are different. And why would you want the same type of artist?

Have you guys met?
Yeah, I met her when she was the dance hall queen with the long hair. She was a nice girl but very quiet.

But damn, down to the tats? That's fraudgalence at its finest.

Let me leave you with this video…

I’m Passing Around a Collection Plate for Chili Got Dammit!

Babyhair

Everyone please toss in what you can, no matter the amount, every little bit counts.

Why are we doing this? Well obviously because Chili is broke. I'm talking Dame Dash broke. I mean why else would she pimp herself out to a VH1 dating show? It can't be because she willingly wants to join the likes of Flava Flav, New York and Brett Michaels so it must mean one thing: the checks have stopped coming.

“She is known as a superstar around the world. Her exotic looks have been featured in People Magazine’s “50 Most Beautiful.” She is a Pop and R&B Legend, and one of the best selling artists of all time… and she is looking for one man to show her some TLC.

Known to millions of fans worldwide as a music icon who put the “sexy” in CrazySexyCool, she has the fame, the fan-mail, and the friends to last a lifetime. Her name is CHILLI, and she is ready to meet the man whose heart of gold can shine with her own.

Doron Ofir Casting, in association with FremantleMedia North America and VH1, are seeking eligible bachelors of caliber for the possible introduction to a legendary artist who is ready to groove with the man of her dreams.

Are you worthy of meeting the woman behind the music, behind the reputation, behind the stardom? Get ready to meet the real deal, because once you take away all the fame, a remarkable woman awaits you.

Now casting single men who appear to be between the ages of 25 and 40, who have the sex appeal, personality, good looks, success and heart to date a major music artist who is looking to find her true love.”

To apply:    Email your Name, Telephone Number, and several Recent Pictures to TheChilliProject@gmail.com

It's pretty sad when you think about it because once upon a time, I had a lot of respect for this chick as did everyone else I'm sure. But this show will undoubtedly turn her into a joke.

Chili don't do it, boo. Take your ass to church and look for a man there. OR if you're really that strapped for cash, might I suggest a lucrative career in promotion for gels to lay babyhairs down?

Wompity womp womp womp. So effing much for solicitating the forgiveness of the public. Here's Chris partying it up at Guys and Dolls the night of his sentencing.

Beyonce is Woman of the Year

Beyonce-khaki jacket

Billboard recently named Beyonce Woman of the Year. Billboard's Editorial Director, Bill Werde, had this to say:

Beyonce is a multi-platinum artist and a multi-talented woman who clearly embodies the qualities of excellence and achievement that the Billboard Woman of the Year Award was created to honor.

She has not only influence pop culture with her hit songs and signature dance moves, but has inspired women everywhere with her unique style, business savvy and dedication to chairtable causes.

Couldn't be happier about their choice. Yeah yeah yeah I'm a Beyonce fan but even if I weren't, it'd be hard to knock the young lady's hustle. She's by far one of the most if not hardest working females in the game. She deserves the recognition.

Jay-Z on the Cover of XXL + Snippet of Interview

Jay-z-XXL-mag-cover

Jay-Z is covering the October issue of XXL magazine. As you can tell from the picture, Jay is still feeling himself. But I guess when you're about to drop your 11th studio album and you have the type of fans that will clock a naysayer without hesitation, you're entitled to said feeling.

 Check a snippet of what he had to say below:

CRITICISM OF “D.O.A.”
“I’m not hating on young people. Like, when people say that, I’m like, What are you talking about? It’s just stupid. I’m not hating on young people… I’m not Bill Russell, [saying] Michael Jordan ain’t shit. I’m saying Lil Wayne and Kanye are like LeBron and Kobe. My job as someone at the forefront of the game is to leave it in a better position than when I came in. Same way that Russell [Simmons] left it to me. ’Cause this thing saved my life. Literally. So I have a responsibility to it karmically. And after that it’s on you. I did my part. I made ‘D.O.A.’ I said it. I made the statement. I made the push. Here, y’all take it from here.”

HIS LEGACY AS FORMER DEF JAM RECORDS PRESIDENT
“So if you ask me to grade my performance as the president, I’d say A-plus. No one can bat a 100. It’s impossible. I mean, everyone is looking at my shit. But if we really looked under the hood [of] every single [record exec] and the acts they put out in that time, I’d be comparable to anyone.”

HIS STANDING IN THE GAME
“But when I say I’m the best, I don’t say that outta my ass. I say that with all my stats behind me. I put that against anybody. I mean anybody. I really believe that… I believe in a lot of things. ?I believe that ‘SportsCenter’ is the best thing on TV. I shouldn’t have to prove it. But I do have these stats to prove it. I’m talking about real run. I’m not talking about years off. I’m talking about straight—boom, boom, boom—back to back. We’re not talking about heritage acts either. We’re not talking about respect what I’ve done. I’m talking No. 1 [albums] 10 times. The Beatles is the only one [to have more ?No. 1 albums]. They got 19, and if I get a surge of creativity, I could make nine albums next year.”

Not mad at that. Not mad at that at all.
