What Everybody's Talking About: Brandy Debuts Rapper Alter-Ego On Stage

Without even watching this video, I'm already looking sideways. Everybody was blowing my text, twitter, and email asking have I seen the video of Brandy or is it B-Rocka, rapping with Timbaland.

Watch with me...we can comment later!!

Yoooo! Did You Hear: Jay Z Scared Of Drake?

Is this another example of Jay Z being shady, or was Jay Z worried that newcomer, Drake, would outshine him on his own record?

Timbaland has spoken out about "Off That," his The Blueprint 3 collaboration with Jay-Z and Drake, saying that Hov intentionally excluded a verse from the newly signed Young Money artist.

According to Timbo, he suggested having Drizzy drop 16 bars on the record.

"I'm out there more than he is," Tim said in an interview. "I know what the kids want...That's what I bring to the table. I bring that umph outta him. Listen to the album. I bring something outta him...You gotta ask him [why the verse is gone]. It should have been [on there]...But I thought, to me, we took [Drake] out of his element. But he said that was good to him. I said, 'Oh, sh*t, let's go back and get him in the verse.' But that ain't my project. If it was up to me to redo it, I'd redo it that way. (MTV)"

So, do you think Jay Z was afraid to be outshined or it's just a coincidence?

Memphis Bleek: Timbaland Leaks Jay Z's Record!

If another record from Jay Z's 'Blueprint 3' album leaks, we won't have anything to look forward too. I mean, we've already heard Off That, Reminder, Venus vs. Mars, D.O.A, Run This Town-what will be next?

During an interview with Hip Hop Wired, Jay Z's BFF, Memphis Bleeks lets us know who did the leakage!

"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."

Rumors that were floating around that Timbaland was not too pleased that he didn’t get a chance to produce a good majority of Jay’s latest effort, adds even more truth to the fire. It has also been mentioned that the beats that were supplied to Jay, were not Timbaland’s best beats in his stash. He allegedly plans on keeping his best beats for his album Shock Value 2.

For those of you who are expecting to get a Jay-Z that you have been experiencing for some time now, Bleek lets you know that Jay’s goal is to expand as an artist and to cover new ground by not limiting himself musically. While other artists are huddled in the studio trying their hardest to make another one of the hits they once had, Jay is striving to create brand new magic and hits that are different from his last.

"A couple of years back, I had asked Jay why he doesn't make another “Big Pimpin.” This was like four years ago when I asked him this and his answer to me was ‘Why would I do that?' “Big Pimpin” is already made. So then, I didn't understand what he meant by that and I'm like so what, I would just make six of those and ride it to the end of the wave. But he's right because if you make four more of those records, then the original won't be hot anymore. You have to move on to the next wave and I think that people want him to stay Reasonable Doubt, Volume 2, Blueprint Jay. He's not that guy anymore, he's outta here."

Bleek is readying his 5th studio album The Process which will be released November 24th. The Process will be Executive Produced by Jay-Z and will feature appearances from Rick Ross, Jay-Z, and Pharrell with production from Just Blaze and No I.D.
