Lil Wayne- Will be Sharing Pen Showers after ALL!!

Lil Wayne will serve a one year sentence for the possession of a loaded gun in 2007.

But due to "dental" reasons, Lil Wayne won't be starting his jail sentence until March of this year.

Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr spoke about not wanting to go jail by any means-

I'd rather be pushin' flowers, than to be in the pen sharin' showers.- A Milli

Clearly didn't do a good job in staying away from the Soap dropping Scene.

People have been twittering all throughout yesterday, starting trends such as #lettertoweezy and #freeweezy ..... Some are really talking positively to Lil Wayne, while others are mocking his situation.... Here are a few:

Foxy Brown , Lil Kim, Prodigy, T.I, Gucci Mane, Mystikal, Shyne, DMX.

You gotta Lead by example and right now they all need to take a step back and fix up! Easier said than done....... #Iwasjustsayin :P

Shank: Out Late March 2010

This is a new movie from the distributors of KiDULTHOOD.


Staring Bashy aka Ashley Thomas, Adam Deacon ( from KiDULTHOOD and AdULTHOOD) and Kaya Scodelario (Skins) Shank brings to the screen what 2015 could look like if Street Gangs take over.

with the tag line:

If you're not one of us, you're a victim

, Director Mo Ali, and writer/producer Paul Van Carter

gives the audience the attitude and the approach that these raw teenagers lead.

The film looks like its gonna be just as brutal and jaw dropping as the gang related movies that Noel Clarke wrote ;KiDULTHOOD and AdULTHOOD (and directed).

Looking forward to: Seeing Bashy on the Big screen and another successful British movie directed at youth.

Hoping its not going to be another typical Street crime movie with an obvious plot!

In the meantime... Here's the Trailer:

Lowkey- Something Wonderful

He’s once… Twice…Three times.. I mean Four times a Father!

Who’s your daddy? Well for 3 children and one unborn child Lil Wayne is!!

Wow just when you thought he was too busy to have a personal life, Lil Wayne has gone and got a fourth woman pregnant.

I’m sure you're trying to do the maths One…Two… erm don’t worry I’ll break it down for you… four babies by four different baby mama’s = Baby Mama Drama x 4

In the most recent interview with Tim Westwood, Lil Wayne – whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. confirmed that Nivea, R&B singer, had become pregnant with his FOURTH child, although that’s all he shared with the DJ.

That makes it three children in one year!

I feel an episode of Maury Povich coming on “And for one year-old Jr, Weezy You ARE the father” or “Lil Wayne: You sooo rich, then where the $%!* is my child support money?”

Actress and model, Lauren London gave birth to a baby boy last month to his second son, Lennox Samuel Ari.

In October 2008 the former Cash Money Records president announced at the annual BET Hip-Hop Awards that he was expecting his first son in just a “couple of days.” However the mother of Dwayne Carter III, has never been named.

The 27-year-old rapper fathered his first child, daughter Reginae, with ex-wife Antonia “Toya” Carter when he was only 15-years-old.

Here’s 411 on what’s been happening in the previous episodes of the baby mama drama: Nivea was previously married to The-Dream and gave birth to their daughter Navy Talia 4 years ago, they recently got divorced… The Dream then started dating Christina Millian then secretly got married in Vegas last month, In the mean time Lil Wayne got With Nivea and Bam Shes pregnant with her second child … wait I already said that LOL

Jay Sean Makes History…. Twice!!

British singer Jay Sean has taken over the US number one spot, removing Black Eyed Peas off the top spot.

After a mind blowing 26 weeks at the top of the US charts with ‘Boom Boom Pow‘ and ‘I Gotta Feeling’, Jay Sean new single ‘Down’ featuring Lil Wayne, shot to the number one position on the Billboard Hot 100 after selling 1.5 million downloads in total.

"It's just incredible to have reached number one with my first release in America," the 27-year-old said.

The 27-year-old West London R&B singer & Songwriter who was originally signed to Virgin records and then Jaydad (his own record label)/2point9 Records, quit all labels as he felt they were making him sound too popish for his liking.

Sean goes on to express how he feels: "It's difficult for me to put into words, my head is spinning. I've been grinding hard for the last seven years releasing records independently and now to have the biggest record in the USA this week, it's just a dream come true."

In 2008, Jay Sean appeared at the Mobos and announced that he was signed to Cash Money records, which is home to Lil Wayne, Juvenile, Baby/Birdman and very recently Bow Wow. “Ride It” singer has made history again by becoming the first ever British Asian to be signed to a US record label….Go On Son!!!

Leona Lewis topped the US charts with her song Bleeding Love last year, while Soul II Soul, Mark Morrison, Floetry, Craig David, MIA and Estelle have broken into the top 10 in the past.

I Am Not My Hair…

SOLANGE KNOWLES ditches her hair saving her a flabbergasting $40,000 a year.

Solange Knowles appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show to discuss her addiction she had to looking good, with her drug being Hair extensions & Weave.

Beyonce’s little sister, Solange, “pulled a Britney” earlier this year and has shaved her head. I know what your thinking! OMG! But it’s not as bad as you think! According to the Daily Mail Solange wrote on her Twitter page that she was going through a 'I wanna cut all my Hair off & have a fade (cropped haircut) phase'.

As expected, being the sister of the R&B Diva, Beyonce, means she gets a lot of attention. The singer, who released a number one record “I decided” in 2008, has joked that the constant comparisons to her superstar sister might tip her over the edge and send her into a Britney-style meltdown.

She said: 'I get asked about Beyonce all the time but I try and make fun of it, sometimes I say she's not my sister. Other times I say I've stuffed her in my suitcase and sent it to Dubai. I have to have fun with it or I'll turn into Britney - shave my head and go totally crazy.’

On the Oprah show when she was asked how much money she spent on her hair Solange said: "Realistically I was spending about $40,000-$50,000 a year and probably half of my life, I grew up in a hair salon, my mum owned a hair salon.

"There was always this feeling of always wanting to be in the salon once or twice a week and I got a perm pretty early - I was four."

Its safe to say Solange isn’t going “Crazy” like Britney and defiantly looks like she’s going to have extra pocket money since she cut her hair earlier this year.

According to a new up and coming film produced Chris Rock, 'Good Hair', a staggering $9 billion dollars is spent catering to African-American women's hair alone.

Keisha is Alone Now, But Not Lonely…

Keisha is Alone Now, But Not Lonely…

By StreetJournalist

After the recent split from Sugababes, Keisha is ready to launch her solo career with a help of her friend and songwriter, Taio Cruz.

The original member of Sugababes is to team up with the “She’s Like a Star” hit-maker and former ghost-writer as Taio made it clear he will be there to support her through the early stages of her solo career: ‘I would absolutely work with Keisha if she wanted me to. She can be sure that I will help her out…’

Jade Ewen, former UK Eurovison singer, has now replaced Keisha Buchanan as the third member of the band, who has had 2 previous member removed and replaced.

Original members Keisha Buchanan, Mutya Buena and Siobhan Donaghy formed Sugababes in 1998. However Donaghy departed and the introduction of Heidi Range in 2001 was met, the group then survived a second line-up change in 2005, when Mutya Buena left and was replaced by Amelle Berrabah.

Hearsay about the band’s future was triggered early last month when Amelle failed to show for a gig at London’s Movida nightclub.

At the time it was reported she had gone missing after being involved an argument with former band member Keisha, however it was later confirmed that she failed to turn up because her friend had been in a ‘bad accident’.

Keisha, who was accused of bullying Amelle, revealed on Twitter at the time: ‘I may come across as a hard nut sometimes, but I’m actually really sensitive and it destroys me to think people see me as the longest standing member and assume that I’m the b***h who causes people to walk, and it’s totally untrue and unfair.’

Keisha released a statement on her twitter, but I’ll save you the speech…. OK .. I’ll give you my favorite bits!

‘Remember my drunk pictures out with Amelle, supporting her on her success with Tinchy Stryder… Oh the shame… But what a fun night we had.

‘Now I’m going to take some time to focus on me. I’ve been in this band for 11 years and I have achieved so much.

‘I have a great family and friends who are behind me 100% and at the age of 24, I’m now going out into this world on my own…

‘Although i’m nervous… I’m still very excited on what lies ahead.

‘I want to thank the Sugababes fans and my fans for all your support and all who have never judged me, but accepted me for who I am… The feisty, funny, professional, fearless, motor mouth… lol

‘This is not the end… but the beginning!!!!

Dr Dre ‘Detox’ing

Dr Dre ‘Detox’ing

I’m sure your all wondering, ‘Where the *$%! is Dr Dre?’ well hes been gone for a hot minute, but hes coming back.

Everyone who knows about D.R.E and his production process, should know he likes to make each track a masterpiece, so no doubt when his album drops in 2010, we will be expecting to hear perfection.

Dre ’s been working on ‘Detox’ for the past 10 years, and he says it will finally be finished this year. “Hopefully, I’ll get it done at the end of this year, and we can hear it next year,” the good doctor explained.

Earlier this year some of Dres’ tracks were leaked online with vocals of T.I, Nas and Eminem, so fans are hoping to hear the same when the official album drops.
When Dre was asked why the album had taken so long he said “motivation, other things getting in the way.”

50 Cent as also made comments about the new album as he jokingly stated that he’d recorded material for ‘Detox’ that was too good he wanted to take to keep the tracks to himself.

50 added: “Hopefully, he’ll get it done and put it out…I’m waiting for the ‘Detox.’ All I can say is, Dr. Dre is the best producer in my eyes. Just the consistency over the years. He knows what he wants. He’s such a perfectionist that it becomes difficult for him to put it out.”

Expect the usual assortment of Aftermath guests to appear on the new album, including 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes and Bishop Lamont. Dre told MTV News that Jay-Z and Lil Wayne might also appear on the album.

2010 isn’t that far away and I’m sure with it being Dr Dre and the all the artist that maybe on it.. it will be worth the long *** wait! 10 years maaaaan!!!

R.Kelly is no longer Trapped in HIS Closet…

R.Kelly is no longer Trapped in HIS Closet…

R.Kelly who is renowned for his song writing has recently confessed that despite his musical talents he suffers from illiteracy and managed to scrap his way thought grade school.

The award-winning artist recently spoke at the Midwest Music Festival in Chicago; about the issues he faced while kicking off his career.

"When I was trying to make it out here, I already knew, and I was stubborn about it," he said. "I don't even read really and I'm not afraid to say that. My cousins and brothers used to tease me 'you can't even read right. How you think you're going to come up?' The only reason I graduated from grammar school is because I had a great jump shot. I went to high school and [my teacher] told me 'you will one of the greatest writers of all time.' I believed. You [have to] believe it. You can't believe [anything] if you're hating. You can't achieve [anything] if you're hating."

Its evident that this disability has not stopped the “Number 1 Sex” singer from his ever growing success since he began his career 1990.

Statistics released in January 2009 by the U.S. Department of Education state that 1 in 7 Americans couldn’t read, that's about 32 million people across the country.

Many of these illiterate Americans lack basic literacy skills meaning they can't read a book or the directions on a pill bottle.

R.Kelly's forthcoming album is due in stores Oct. 12… Look out for its review, coming soon.

Love, Peace And Kanye's Chicken Grease

We all know how Divarish Kanye West can get and how he keep it real with the love for himself and his freedom of speech, even if that speech is painful to watch. You do remember the VMAs 2009 right? Taylor Swift? Beyonce??

When TMZ.com caught up with Kanye as he was leaving Los Angeles eatery and asked if he chose to dine on chicken or fish, Mr West sarcastically expressed his love to Chicken.

“Well the way I came up with that decision was, I’m kind of hungry and I just … um … I think I wanted some chicken because I’m black — [so] you know I like chicken a lot,” he said. “I’m gonna’ do a commercial for chicken for free.”

As funny as it sounds, I reckon Yeezy does have a thing for chicken as he recently kicked off a fuss a surprise appearance at the “Common & Friends” benefit concert in Los Angeles, according to Vibe Magazine.

He was demanding to know “Why wasn’t I offered chicken?… You want me to perform for free, [and] everyone is eating … Why am I not eating?”

Adding fuel to the fire, West allegedly yelled at the waitress when she noted that he hadn’t actually asked for anything to eat (Isn’t she a brave one!)

Mr West being as uncharismatic as it is, once served, onlookers revealed that he took only one bite of the chicken before throwing it out.

Ahh Kanye West, you truly fill our lives with excitement with your crazy shenanigans!!

Jay-Z and Liam Gallagher???

Another one of my Posts....

According to ‘The Sun’ newspaper, Roc-A-Fellas’ front man has said he would love to collaborate with Liam Gallagher.

Jay-Z who was last year criticized by Liam’s brother, Noel, stating he should not have headlined the Glastonbury music festival, urges Liam to give him a call so they can work on music together.

This came up after the rapper behind ‘Drop it like its hot’, Snoop Dogg wanted to work with Liam’s brother Noel Gallagher.

The hip-hop mogul said “I hear Snoop Dogg might be teaming up with Noel. If that’s the case then I would like to work with Liam.”

Jay-Z continues on to compliment their style, evidently letting go over last years clash and focusing on the potential success of the collabo.

“Their music is tight and I think we could blend our styles well. When I teamed up with Linkin Park nobody expected that to work but we made a massive success of it. The same could happen with Liam.”

Bouncing off his previous accomplishment with Linkin Park he goes on to say: “When you have two artists like us in a room just throwing about ideas you come up with something brilliant fairly easily. I don’t know what he is up to now but he can give me a call.”

So look out L23 readers, this might just happen!! A Top Geeza alongside A Fly Lyrical Genius! Gosh!
