New Music: Jay-Z Ft. Chris Martin ‘Most Kingz’
This Jay-Z and Chris Martin (Coldplay) collabo was one of two that were recorded for Jay’s Kingdom Come album in 2006, however Beach Chair was the only one used. Here's what DJ Green Lantern said about the track:
“This is my version working with the acapella…I’ve had this since 2006 and it was supposed to be on the Presidential Invasion Mixtape–that never came out. Then Hov rapped these lyrics over his HP commercial drums, and the acapella went to a few different producers in search of a beat for it. I heard a Timbaland version and I think Just Blaze and a few others had it too. But by the time they made “Beach Chair,” I think Jay was over trying to find a beat for “Most Kingz.” Then he went to Flex show and the rest is history…”
Below is the freestyle on Funk Flex show as well as the Green Lantern Remix

Tribute Letter To Aaliyah, From Drake
Dear Dana,
I’ve never lost a parent, a friend, or a lover but I will never forget this day for the rest of my life. I remember getting the news that you had passed and it connected with my heart like a clean shot from Muhammad Ali. I was crushed. Not only was I one of your biggest fans but I was truly in love with you. I loved the way you carried yourself, the way you dressed, the confidence with which you addressed passion and relationships in your music. I said to myself that even if we never met, I wanted a woman in my life just like you. I am pained that we will never get to connect now that music ended up being my career path. But you should know, we all listen to you everyday and we remain inspired and moved by all that you’ve given the world. I hope I make the right life choices so I can end up in heaven where I know you rest your head. I’ll continue to make music in your honor until the day we finally meet. Dinner’s on me!
Love you always and forever,
Drake
...Forever in our hearts
Thanks to Rap Radar
...In Memory Of Aaliyah "Princess of R&B" (January 16, 1979- August 25, 2001)
It's been nine years today since the untimely death of Aaliyah (Aaliyah Dana Haughton). With a voice of an angel, she played a big part in redefining R&B and Hip-Hop.
At age 12, Aaliyah signed with Jive Records and Blackground Records by her uncle,Barry Hankerson. He introduced her to R. Kelly, who became her mentor, as well as lead songwriter and producer of her debut album, Age Ain't Nothing but a Number. The album sold three million copies in the United States and was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). After facing allegations of an illegal marriage with Kelly, Aaliyah ended her contract with Jive and signed to Atlantic Records.
Aaliyah worked with record producers Timbaland and Missy Elliott for her second album, One in a Million. In 2000, Aaliyah appeared in her first major film, Romeo Must Die. She contributed to the film's soundtrack, which spawned the single Try Again.
After completing Romeo Must Die, Aaliyah filmed her part in Queen of the Damned. She released her third and final album, Aaliyah, in 2001. On August 25, 2001, Aaliyah and eight others were killed in an airplane crash in The Bahamas after filming the music video for the single Rock the Boat. Since then, Aaliyah's music has achieved commercial success with several posthumous releases, with album sales estimated to be between 24 to 32 million copies worldwide .
R.I.P Aaliyah, you are forever in our hearts..

Nick Cannon Addresses Rumours Of Mariah's Pregnancy
Nick Cannon addressed the growing rumours of wife's pregnancy yesterday on his US radio show. The rumours started brewing after a picture of a fuller Mariah, at her concert in Brazil was posted on the web. Check out what Cannon said...
“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it time and time again – when my wife feels like talking about whatever she wants to talk about, you will hear it directly from her…We all know it’s extremely personal, and it is for a woman to deal with things with her body, and especially when dealing with the idea of childbirth and all that stuff.”
“That’s something you want to keep near and dear and as close to you as you possibly can, until you’re 100% sure, in any situation …There’s a certain time limit you’re supposed to wait before you can actually officially say that you are and all that stuff. You don’t want to mislead anybody.”
Errm so she pregnant then? lol
