Estelle - Break My Heart (feat. Rick Ross) Video

I don't post many non-me music video, but I love this song so much I just had to. It's gonna be awkward when YouTube delete Estelle's video off of her own channel though (they've done it to plenty artists before).

The Winners & Losers Of Rip The Runway

This just in, Nicki Minaj has just been banned from the UK for life for her failed attempt at a British accent. More on this story as it develops.

Winners: Nicki Minaj's plastic surgeon (he actually got paid to do that to her nose); Nicki Minaj's butt pads; Trina's REAL ass...damn!; B.o.B; fat girls; Bruno Mars' likeness to Tay Zonday; rubber basketballs; Dwight Eubanks (his flamboyant gayness will get him his own show somewhere...or at the least a few more spots on BET over the next few years); malnourishment (I pray Luda didn't request these sickly looking models walk during his set); Shaqnosis sneakers (it must've taken at least 50 pairs to make Nicki's My Chick Bad performance outfit); Janelle Monae's performance and ass (surprisingly nicely shaped...or were those them butt pads at work again??); Vanessa aka "Subway to Runway" girl; Dwight's decision to make Vanessa wear those booty shorts!

Losers: Whoever dressed Estelle in that bullshit; ponytails; horses and now bald-headed girls in India who made it possible for all these wack ass Rapunzel-length ponytails to exist; whoever dressed Estelle again because somebody else came out in that same ugly ass dress; Nicki Minaj's nose; fake British accents; shoulder pads; masculinity; black people (Tiny & Toya coming back for a 2nd season); pink wigs; mohawks (black people, let it go, its over); And1; pink wigs again; Nicki Minaj's stylist or lack there of; dudes who think that's really Nicki Minaj's ass and hips; girls who think Nicki Minaj's outfits look good; basicness; stamina and going low (Luda's dancer got a little winded there at the end); women's shoes (I'd hate to see my girl wearing 80% of those ugly ass shoes).

Like before, if you have any to add, leave them in the comments.

Busta Rhymes - World Go Around (feat. Estelle)

Busta Rhymes - World Go Around (feat. Estelle)

What the fuck is this shit?? This is some of that ol' Flo Rida type bullshit right here. Busta must be really desperate for a hit if he decided to go the Dance/Techno/House music route lol. Well while I try to get the memory of this track out of my head, enjoy the two new Busta freestyles after the jump.

Busta Rhymes - Best I Ever Had (Remix)

I don't know how I feel about this shit. I never knew if I liked this song back when I heard So Far Gone for the first time because its vulgar in a generally none sexy way when it comes to girl tracks, but girls seem to like it anyway. Its sort of like a softer version of Plies lol. Plus, Drake just confuses me with his Lil Wayne and Trey Songz impression and Busta didn't really add anything special to the track.
Busta Rhymes - I'm The Shit (Remix)

Why is this edited?? Weird.

Estelle Getting Her Grill Fixed

I went to my current boo and future wife Va$htie's blog and she had pics of some party she was at the other day. So I'm probably through the pics and I see my girl Estelle...with braces! Maybe its me, maybe I'm late, but I'm glad to see it because I really like Estelle... and yeah, you know. I mean she could be waaaay worse looking and I'd still fuck with her because she's a great artist, but it never hurts to have your teeth in order. Go Estelle!

Oh, and go Va$htie, with yo' FINE ass!

Grammy Winners In Categories I Actually Care About

Best Rap Solo Performance: Lil Wayne - A Milli
Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group: T.I. - Swagga Like Us (feat. Jay-Z, Kanye West, & Lil Wayne)
Best Rap/Sung Collaboration: Estelle - American Boy (feat. Kanye West)
Best Rap Song: Lil Wayne - Lollipop
Best Rap Album: Lil Wayne - Tha Carter III
Best Female R&B Vocal Performance: Alicia Keys - Superwoman
Best Male R&B Vocal Performance: Ne-Yo - Miss Independent
Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals: Al Green - Stay With Me (feat. John Legend)

Best R&B Song: Ne-Yo - Miss Independent
Best R&B Album: Jennifer Hudson - Jennifer Hudson
Best Contemporary R&B Album: Mary J. Blige - Growing Pains

I knew they'd give Wayne Best Rap Album since I knew there was no way they were giving him Album Of The Year so I don't mind that one though he did beat out 3 blatantly better albums (Nas' Untitled, Jay-Z's American Gangster, and Lupe's The Cool). However, I do have a problem with Lollipop winning Best Rap Song. First of all, why is it even nominated?? HE DOESN'T EVEN RAP ON IT!

This Week In Flops 4/29/08

Welp we all knew this day was coming eventually and its finally here! I actually would like to see her do good, but I just can't imagine her selling more than 70k so I'm predicting she does 45-55k.

Damn, whatever happened to Shawty Get Loose?? It was doing so good, then it just disappeared lol.

I didn't know Lyfe's album was dropping until I saw it up for download and thats never a good sign, you can ask Trina about that lol. Anyway, with no single really poppin' its hard to see light at the end of this tunnel so I'm guessing 25-35k.

Another album I didn't know was dropping today. I listened to this over the weekend and its DEFINITELY worth the money so I'll probably be coppin' later this week. Unfortunately, my one purchase won't help much so I got them doing 20-25k.

I actually knew this was dropping because after I heard it I knew I HAD to have it! I'll most definitely be going to pick this up some time this week. Anyway, unfortunately she's not as hot over here as she is in UK so this album will start slow, but hopefully it'll be pick like Amy Winehouse last year. I got Estelle doing 10-20k in her first week due to lack or interest and/or promo.

American Boy Tops UK Charts

Well actually it wasn't an American...or even a boy for that matter. Its Estelle's single American Boy! Damn that intro was terrible lmao.

Anyway, yeah she's #1 across the pond, but hopefully the track will catch on here too because she's a really talented girl. Plus, it doesn't hurt that she's much less cracky than Amy Winehouse. [FULL STORY]

Estelle Feat. John Legend - Hey Girl

I love Estelle! She is so talented (even if her teeth are jacked lol) so when you put her on the same track as the Legend, John you know its going down! Check it out:

Estelle Feat. John Legend - Hey Girl


And she wonders why people compare her to Lauryn Hill lol. Really, this shit makes me wanna hear a new John Legend album, that is my dude right there! Plus, I done got so much pussy off his first album it almost isn't fair lol.

I'm not sure what song that is that comes on after Hey Girl, but I like that shit too lol.

Estelle feat. Kanye West - American Boy Video

I was gonna start off with This Week In Flops today, but my computer is acting like a dickhole and won't let me save the album covers I need so I'll just hold that to later. Right now check out Estelle's video for American Boy with Kanye rockin' the full beard looking like Baron Davis lol (hurry before YouTube takes it down):


I ain't mad at this video, but its really not what I expected at all. I thought they'd go with the green scene thing or actually go to all those cities she named, but I guess I should calm down on that seeing she's a new artist and all lol. I still can't believe Kanye left that 2nd verse straight garbage like that, but I guess he isn't counting on this being a hit and him having to say it much lol.

Anyone else notice all the cameos?? I didn't until the shit was like half way through and I saw Danger Mouse, Kardinal, and Terrence J back to back so I'm not sure if I missed any in the beginning.

Estelle feat. Kanye West - American Boy (No Rap)

I fuckin' LOVE this song and have been listening to it all weekend on repeat at work lol. Estelle's voice is just so beautiful! The only down fall of this song is Kanye's TERRIBLE verse in which he unleashes the horribly wack and corny, "who's killin' 'em in the UK, everybody gonna say you, K?" LMAO!! Thank goodness for all of us that I got the Promo CDS with the "no rap" version so here it is, check it out:



They could've cleaned it up a bit at the beginning because the beat is kinda just playing for no reason with out Kanye's 1st verse there, but I'll take that over the line I repeated earlier lol. Its all good though I still love Kanye and he gets a pass with all he's been through lately.

Estelle feat. Kanye West - American Boy

Here is John Legend's first artist Estelle with her (I'm guessing) first single American Boy featuring Kanye West. Kanye comes pretty weak on this shit, but Estelle kills it so I LOVE it anyway lol.



Is this the first time a track would have sounded better withOUT Kanye West?? I'd say so!
