When most of the reviews written about your concert are all at A+, it can be pretty shocking when you get something that’s not so nice. What do you do then? When you’re Kanye West and Entertainment Weekly pretty much trashed your concert in a review, you become a diva about it. The rapper posted a tirade on his blog against the magazine saying “Yo, anybody that’s not a fan; don’t come to my show. For what?! To try and throw ya’ll two cents in? Ya’ll rated my album shitty and now ya’ll come to the show and give it a B+. What’s a B+ mean? I’m an extremist. It’s either pass or fail! A+ or F-! You know what, fuck you and the whole fucking staff!!!” And guys, that’s just a third of it. Kanye’s rule #1, don’t piss Kanye.

The music industry is getting really desperate for cash as the days go on. Universal has just announced that its Island Def Jam branch is going to team up with Procter & Gamble on a hip hop label to be named TAG Records. P&G’s TAG body spray for men is the inspiration behind the name. Also according to the announcement, Jermaine Dupri will act as the president of the new label. It’s a win-win situation if you think about it. P&G has a direct way to market its products and the artists will get loads of support from the marketing gurus. Hurray for capitalism!

Just like ‘Milkshake’ once did for Kelis, ‘Google Me’ should do the same for upstart Teyana Taylor. The girl is only 17 years old and she’s already being dubbed as the next big thing by super producer Pharell who signed her to his record label. But we all know that you can’t go on just hype. But the song is a great hip hop anthem with a killer hook. You will definitely find it hard to not sing along to this one. “I’m a celebrity…” Oh yeah! Once this officially drops, people all over will be singing Teyana Taylor’s praises.

If you’re one of the few people still thinking that R. Kelly is a nice guy, here’s something that may change your mind. Maxine Daniels, the 21-year old who had a 4-month relationship with the R&B signer until her parents found out, says that they’ve known each other since she was 7 and he was a ripe old 27-year old.

Maxine is swinging back at R’s statement last week that attempted to defame her father and step-mother. She told the Chicago Sun-Times that “I was swept up by his charming and generous ways, which I truly regret and have learned from.”

Another celebrity baby has been born. A fat and healthy baby boy just entered Usher’s life, as his fresh wife gave birth.

The couple is thriving with joy, and Usher is content with his new found fatherhood. His wife, Tameka Foster, has already 3 children, this is her fourth. A late child for Tameka as she is already 37 years old, in contrast with the young singer who is only 29.

Their whole marriage is wrapped in mystery and no one really know if they got married just because he was pregnant or if the couple really intend of spending their lives tighter. That is for us to see and maybe comment on in the future, for now let’s all welcome usher’s new baby boy.

Chris Brown has ended hip-hop sensation Soulja Boy’s reign at the top of the U.S. pop charts with his new song Kiss Kiss. Brown’s collaboration with rapper T-Pain has toppled Soulja Boy’s Crank That (Soulja Boy), which spent seven weeks at number one. I think Chris Brown is HOT so he should stay him self! And about this toppling thing, well music today is as creepy as these guys themselves. There are just a few good looking males in the music industry and the other just a stinking pigs using a hell lot of perfume to hide that bad odor slipping out from underneath their armpits. Well that’s all that I’d like to these guys, for me the music of the Rolling Stones and other established artist is more fun listening to rather than have some cranked up music make me deaf in the ears.
