Last month I wrote about Diddy's plans to start a new cable channel (and even suggested some content), and today he officially confirmed it via YouTube.
I feel like I need a job at Revolt, where do I apply?

Diddy Officially Announces Cable Channel Revolt
January 26, 2012
Diddy Planning On Starting A Cable Network
Sean Combs, the entertainment impresario known as Diddy, is planning to launch a music-themed cable network, according to three sources with knowledge of his plans. The channel is called Revolt and is aiming to launch at the end of the year--12/12/12, to be specific.
Sources with knowledge of the Revolt playbook describe it as a music and music news channel with an urban skew. One described it as the old days of MTV, but for more of the African American audience. The venture is well funded, say the sources.
This is an excellent idea and I'm behind it 100%. You would be hard pressed to find something involving Diddy that I'm not willing to watch and this would be no exception. Besides, I can't wait to see what happens to the careers of on-air talent once their dropped from the network.
And with being said, here's a few original show suggestions for Revolt:
-"Remember Me?"
This would be a game show where contestants try to identify former Bad Boy artists through a series of questions.
-"REALigion with Shyne & Loon"
This would be a religious talk/debate show hosted by the 2 rappers Diddy drove deep into religion, Shyne and Loon.
-"The PerSUIT"
This would be a reality competition show to find the next great suit maker, of course hosted by Chopper. (Yes, it will be in his contract that he will have to wear the original Chopper Suit in every episode.)
Diddy, you're welcome.

Diddy & Shyne Reconcile
This actually happened a couple days ago, but I couldn't decided if making fun of Shyne would get me sent to Hell or not. I'm still not sure, but rest assured that he will be nominated for a 2012 L.A.M.E. Award in the category of Lamest Hair (Male). Whatever, I'm just happy he's no longer making God-awful music.
(Side note: Let the records show that this is the 2nd rapper Diddy has sent into a weird religious extra (Loon being the first). I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's only a matter of time before French Montana is doing an interview live from Vatican City after his ordination. Book it.)

Jay-Z Tops Forbes List Again
Check out the top 20 earners in Hip-Hop after the jump.
1) Jay-Z ($37 million)
2) Diddy ($35 million)
3) Kanye West ($16 million)
4) Lil Wayne ($15 million)
4) Birdman ($15 million)
6) Eminem ($14 million)
6) Snoop Dogg ($14 million)
6) Dr. Dre ($14 million)
9) Akon ($13 million)
10) Ludacris ($12 million)
11) Wiz Khalifa ($11 million)
11) Drake ($11 million)
13) Pharrell Williams ($10 million)
14) Timbaland ($7 million)
15) Swizz Beatz ($6.5 million)
15) Nicki Minaj ($6.5 million)
17) Rick Ross ($6 million)
17) 50 Cent ($6 million)
17) Pitbull ($6 million)
20) T-Pain ($5 million)
20) B.o.B ($5 million)
No Lil B? Damn, I thought I'm Gay was gonna change the game.
Besides Lil B's absence, another interesting thing about this list is how much records sales don't matter at all anymore. Eminem sold waaaaaaay more albums in the past year than anyone else on the list, but is only the 6th biggest earner, tied with Snoop Dogg (whose album flopped) and Dr. Dre (whose album is an ancient myth). Also, Nicki Minaj has sold nearly a million more albums than Wiz Khalifa in the past 12 months, but he made $11 million and she only made $6.5 million, just $500,000 more than Pitbull whose album was just recently released.
The lesson this list has taught us: Fuck album sales, tour, tour, and tour some more... or makes some crazy popular headphones (Dr. Dre)... or have Lady Gaga under contract (Akon).

Diddy's Parties Are Always On FIRE!
Anyway, homegirl's name is Miyoki and shockingly enough, she's both a model and a singer. Try to fight back your shock because that combination hardly ever happens. If you want to holla at her on Twitter and give condolences to the back of her head, you can hit her up @Miyoki.

Diddy Calls Charlamagne
This Week In Flops 12/14/10
Before I start, I want to remind everyone that a Michael Jackson album called Michael also dropped this week. I would've included it in today's proceedings, but I felt uncomfortable with putting the King Of Pop under the title "flop."
Aight, we have a lot of albums to get through again, so I'm gonna make these short and sweet.

Fly Nigga Shit
Doesn't it seem like Diddy is playing the character Diddy?? Oh well, you gotta love that nigga regardless. Honestly, I don't even know why I'm posting this video right now. Boredom? Maybe. Because I'm fly? Most definitely....not. I'm suede-less, so according to Diddy, my flyness is nullified.

Young Jeezy & Diddy Get Release Date
Now this totally ruins my column about why Jeezy and The Game should join forces and make a rap duo since they can't get release dates for their 4th albums after dropping 2 mixtapes in 2010, but now it looks like Game is all alone. If December 14th comes and goes without TM103, then maybe I'll revisit the idea.

Oh Shit, Diddy Kilt It!
Was Diddy actually wearing a kilt?? No, seriously, was he?? I was busy admiring Kalenna's ass for the entirety of this video. Who knew she had all that talent to offer?? Nice!
All jokes aside, who cares if Diddy had on a kilt?? I could see if he was at the BET Awards, but THE NIGGA WAS IN SCOTLAND! That's like making fun of someone for wearing a black and white striped shirt in Paris, or a Kung Fu suit in China, or a pair of skinny jeans in Atlanta, or nothing in Africa. Too far?? My bad. Well the point is this: it's no big deal!
Besides, I was way more pissed Diddy had to lip-synch classics from his own catalog than the fact he was wearing a man-skirt.
Now, let's take one final look at Diddy in his kilt, laugh, and put it to rest.

Diddy - Shades (feat. Lil Wayne & Justin Timberlake)
So Lil Wayne is Andre 3000 now??
Anyway, call me crazy, but I do NOT hate this record. I could've gone without all those failed attempts at clever punchlines by Timberlake, but other than that, I like the feel of the record. Makes me want to pull out my Press Play CD.
Speaking of Diddy albums, where the hell is the Last Train To Paris?? I almost positive we've passed the last release date by now. Maybe Diddy should take a break from retweeting everything Rick Ross tweets and get back in the lab, though that album should be done by now.

Random News Shit: Hip-Hop Headlines Edition
So Kanye is gonna be dropping new tracks every Friday until Christmas?? That's 18 tracks worth of Fridays! This is great news. Hopefully he doesn't leak too many album tracks because I don't want the experience to be ruined (I've spoke on this before, but I hate hearing albums when I've already heard 70% of it through leaks). It looks like Kanye can use Twitter for good after all.
2) Eminem To Perform At VMAs
This decision to watch the Cowboys game or watch the VMAs is getting harder and harder with each passing day. FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3) Diddy Denies Doing Former Artists Dirty
First off, why is Cassie on the cover?? She does know her music career is over, right??
Anyway, Diddy does kinda have a point here. Rappers lifespans are generally short, BUT most of those labels he named either don't even exist anymore or are not relevant anymore. Even still, those labels launched major artists who went on to do major things, and it always seems like former Bad Boy artists just completely disappear. That's the real problem. Bad Boy is short on Kanye Wests, and Eves, and Rihannas, and long on G. Deps, Black Robs, and Shynes.
So no, I don't think Diddy is a crook or anything, but would I sign with Bad Boy?? Hell FUCK no lol.
4) T.I. Prepping Animated Series, 'Lil Homies'
Welp, maybe T.I. will be the first rapper to successfully pull this off, because as far as I know, Andre 3000 and David Banner's cartoon shows are no longer on the air. I guess will have to wait and see.
How funny would it be if Tip was shopping "Lil Homies" to Nick Jr.?? That'd be classic.
5) Lil Boosie Releasing New Album From Prison
And but of course the new album is entitled Incarcerated. The album is due out September 28th, and if his legal shit goes how it's expected this won't be his last album released from behind bars.

DJ Khaled - All I Do Is Win (Remix) (feat. Various Artists)
I missed out on posting the remix when it first dropped in late April, but I'm right here with the music video to redeem myself.
Man, it's awesome to see Fabolous and Jadakiss in the video because Lord knows they weren't given that look Sunday night on the BET Award.

Diddy Announces DiddyBlog.com
I know this is a bit old, but I still wanted to put the word out there if you hadn't heard. If you ever get tired of all the hilarity and insanity FiyahMuZik.com has to offer, you can always shoot over to DiddyBlog.com and "inspire, believe, feel, create, love, and grow." I get it. I'm down. DiddyBlog.com! DiddyBlog.com! DiddyBlog.com!!!!
(Side note: I have GOT to get one of those camera Diddy used to make this video!)

Who Is Aziz Ansari??
LMAO! Who wrote this skit, this shit was funny as fuck! Especially Diddy's part: "6 fuckin' years, under a television set." Classic shit right chea!
Anyway, I thought it was a joke at first, but its true, Aziz really is hosting the MTV Movie Awards. Sunday June 9th is the day and date and you know I'll be watching. Hopefully he doesn't bomb like Sarah Silverman did that one year lol.
