MTV recently caught up with rap newcomer Kid Cudi and got him to dish about his sophomore album Cudder, which he insists will be the complete opposite of his debut Man on the Moon. He says,

“Cudder, I already got five tracks locked. We got Snoop, we got Pharrell. I just was in the studio with him. We got Jim Jonsin. I did a record with him. I’m gonna get back in the studio with him. Trying to get the right amount of hit records on this. It’s gonna be the complete opposite of what Man on the Moon was. Man on the Moon was so serious. This one is gonna be more playful and fun. It’s about having a good time.”

Now that he’s boiling hot everyone wants to work with him. He adds,

“People reaching out to me wanting to collab is so bugged out. I remember when nobody wanted to do any song with me, let alone listen to my sh–. It’s been humbling since Kanye reached out. People seek my creativity; that’s dope. I don’t do the normal sh–. I don’t make the normal songs. So when people reach out, that means they’re on the same frequency.”

There’s no doubt that rapper Snoop Dogg loves da kids! Snoop has teamed up with Tommy the Clown to form the C.L.O.U.T Foundation (Changing Lives One Youth at a Time), which is geared towards keeping at-risk youth off the streets. Snoop is planning to hold a Battle Night every month in his hometown LA, where kids can take the stage and show off their poetry, dance or drama skills. He tells AllHipHop,

“As a youth I had one teacher who really pushed me to be the best and gave me and outlet to really feel like I could be somebody-and I became successful partly because of his belief in me.” Adding, “I want to give that to the kids so they know there is more to life than the street hustle or crime. I have been friends with Tommy the Clown for years and see what he has done for so many people, this partnership is very important to me.”

Over the weekend Snoop Dogg and newly single man Usher hit the clubs out in St.Tropez for a lil’ boys night out. Too bad for Snoop his a$$ got caught cheating on his wife Shante. It’s been rumored Snoop has been cheating on Shante for a minute…now it’s just out in the open for all to see. Just another day in the life of a dog!

jay-z

Seems like no one has quite enough swagger like Jay-Z ’cause he hasn’t released an album in a minute, yet he managed to snag the No. 1 spot on The Source magazine’s “Power 30″ list. According to the publication, Jay-Z deserves the top spot because he’s an industry leader and a top businessman, thus taking into consideration his ventures with Live Nation and Rocawear as well as his part-ownership of the New Jersey Nets. Take note that Jay isn’t a businessman, he’s a BUSINESS man! Other notable celebrities who made the list include, Diddy, 50 cent, Lil Wayne, Will.i.Am., Snoop Dogg, T-Pain and Miss Fabulosity herself Kimora Lee Simmons. President Barack Obama also gets an honorable mention because of his great influence on the new hip-hop generation.

In related news, the moment you’ve all been waiting for is finally here…well not exactly, but it’s almost here! It’s official, Jay-Z will release his anticipated album Blueprint 3 on September 11th. Word is a formal announcement will be made at Hot 97’s Summer Jam concert on Sunday.

Cop the June/July 2009  issue of The Source hitting newsstands June 16th!

What has hip-hop done for America? Well, according to Jay-Z its done more than any politician or civil rights leader to improve race relations. Jay-Z claims that it’s really hard to indoctrinate racism in a teenager’s head who idolizes rappers such as himself or Snoop Dogg. He explains,

“It has changed America immensely… Hip-hop has done more than any leader, politician, or anyone to improve race relations. Racism is taught in the home… and it’s very hard to teach racism to a teenager who idolizes, say, Snoop Dogg. It’s hard to say, ‘That guy is less than you.’ The kid is like, ‘I like that guy, he’s cool. How is he less than me?’ That’s why this generation is the least racist generation ever. You see it all the time. Go to any club. People are intermingling, hanging out, enjoying the same music”.

I see what Jay is saying, but I don’t agree that hip-hop has improved race relations in America. In fact hip-hop has perpetuated the worst stereotypes of African-Americans not only in America but also globally.

LexAve: Jay is looking at the concept of race relations from his P.O.V. Except he fails to realize the loads of money he’s worth and accrues. When you’re making that type of money, everybody is your friend- black, white, whatever…but when you’re a regular folk of color without a paper trail like Jay’s, it’s a whole ‘nother ballgame. I mean even loads of money doesn’t guarantee racist-free treatment…remember when Oprah was denied entry into that high-end luxury Frech boutique, I think it was Hermes. And Oprah’s paper trail is longer than Jay’s. Jay really needs to rethink that statement.

Snoop Dogg has extended an open invitation to Ike and Tina Turner 2.0 to appear on his new MTV show, “Dogg After Dark” for a relationship segment with Dr. Phil. WTF?! Although he’s refusing to take sides, Snoop really wants both Rihanna and Chris Brown to come on the show to talk about their problems and to open up about the beatdown that unfortunately put RiRi in the hospital last month. He says,

“I would definitely have them on the show. I would have to have Dr. Phil on the show because that’s not my section or department, but I’m sure Dr. Phil would have some advice… If he wasn’t available I would get Dr. Dre to come on the show for them”.

Snoop is a fool for this one. He must really think this sh*t is funny…smh!

Here’s the video for Snoop Dogg’s single “Staxxx in My Jeans” from his album Ego Trippin. Snoop decided to keep it in the family as his children and a slew of other lil’ kids also make appearances in the video. There’s nothing really special about the video and the song is just another one of those “I got more bread than you” joints. Not impressed?

LexAve: Maybe the beats makes up for it….
