STR8 FROM THE TWEETS: TRINA vs BET…WHAT’S BEEF?!

LexAve — Fri, 20 May 2011 18:39:22 +0000

Earlier this week BET announced the nominees for the BET Awards 2011. And since then, rappers and singers have been lashing out at BET for the “weak” nominations. First Keyshia Cole, now Trina. M.I.A.’s baddest bitch is so livid she took it to Twitter for a lil’ venting.

Too bad she deleted that tweet and it no longer appears on her timeline…but the proof is above!
So why the beef? You ask…well take a look at BET’s nom for BEST FEMALE HIP HOP ARTIST…

Best Female Hip-Hop Artist

Nicki Minaj
Diamond
Cymphonique
LoLa Monroe

So was Trina snubbed or should she quit her crying and push out better records and hope for a nomination in 2012?

FROM THE TWEETS: LIL’ KIM FINALLY JOINS TWITTER!

J'More — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 14:30:24 +0000

I’ve got some breaking news! The Queen Bee has finally crossed over to the other side, and by the other side I mean Twitter! The original Queen of Hip-hop tweeted her first message a few hours ago and wasted no time demanding that Twitter bosses verify her ass. Yep, Kim may act like she’s a valley girl, but she’s still a BK chick at heart! The pint-size rapper is already following a few of your favorite celebrities including Diddy, Kim Kardashian and even train wreck Lindsay Lohan to name a few.

Well, you can now follow The Queen Bee on Twitter @LilKimDaGoddess .

I’m surprised the fail whale didn’t pop up, ’cause you know when the Queen comes through…everything shuts down! But, what took her so long to hop on the Twitter bandwagon?

Here’s video of The Queen Bee chopping it up w/our homie KodakBoi of KidduNot.com, making her official twitter announcement:

FROM THE TWEETS: KANYE SCRAPS G.O.O.D. MUSIC FRIDAYS!

J'More — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 15:22:42 +0000

Way to go hackers for messing up a pretty G.O.O.D. thing! Why leak music when it’s already being given to you for free? Which is the same thing Kanye West wants an answer to. Well, in response to his track “Lost in the World” being leaked on the net yesterday, Kanye has decided to halt G.O.O.D. Music Fridays. Yep, it’s a wrap! *tear*

The rapper announced the breaking news on Twitter.

No word on when G.O.O.D. Music Friday’s will resume, but Kanye is working with Kid Cudi and lame ass Soulja Boy. Lord, I hope Kanye is smart enough not to put Soulja Boy’s corny ass on his new album.

FROM THE TWEETS: RIHANNA TALKS “ONLY GIRL IN THE WORLD”…

LexAve — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 03:46:00 +0000

Swag Princess RiRi maybe in Hawaii on set and enjoying a little play time…but lately she’s been going hard on her twitter game and recently revealed her new single cover for “Only Girl In The World” off her next album currently entitled Loud set to drop November 16th.

Realtalk, I’m looking forward to these positive upbeat joints…
ON DECK or OFF DECK?!

FROM THE TWEETS: RICK ROSS TWEETS LIES!

LexAve — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 20:05:36 +0000

He thinks he’s Big Meech. He thinks he’s Larry Hoover. And now he thinks he’s got the #1 album in the country. Ricky Rozay went on twitter yesterday and claimed the following…

But contrary to previous reports and rumors, Rick Ross is NOT #1. Eminem still holds the crown! Like my boy Diego said in an email: “The final numbers did not play out in his favor. Eminem reigns champion.”
According to Billboard.com,

“Eminem makes it five weeks in a row at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 as “Recovery” sells another 187,000 (down just 4%), according to Nielsen SoundScan. Rick Ross’ “Teflon Don” arrives in the runner-up spot with 176,000. Ross’ last three studio albums all debuted at No. 1, with his last set, 2009′s “Deeper Than Rap,” arriving with 158,000. The opener for “Teflon” is Ross’ best sales week since 2008′s “Trilla” arrived with 198,000.”

Sorry Ricky…but you’re still #2. Sure us music heads projected you’d pull in the top spot…but Eminem has that #1 spot on LOCK!
Guess this answers my question I tweeted last week…

FROM THE TWEETS: CHRISTINA MILIAN BEEFS WITH FUNKMASTER FLEX

LexAve — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 16:43:12 +0000

Christina Milian is not feeling how people are prying into her personal life and most recently her official break-up from hubby The Dream. So much so yesterday the newly single mom fired back at FunkMaster Flex via twitter, after he went in on C.Milli.

“Christina Milian is Finished out here….Dream just wrapped you up….”

The Hot97 DJ later deleted the diss from his time line, but not before CMilian peeped the tweet and she fired back with:

“@funkmasterflex when will u just leave me alone and get a life? I swear all uve ever done is pick on me. What’s ur problem dude? Go away.”

And shortly after she deleted her response…but not before FunkFlex quickly retracted his lame statement and apologized via his twitter account:

Christina replied back with…

Glad to see FunkFlex stepped up and apologized to the single mother to be…very unnecessary. Christina Milian needs nothing but support at this point, not lame asses going in on her career…at least not yet.
In other C.Milian news, yesterday she was spotted out in Los Angeles running a few errands picking a child from a daycare center. Peep the wedding the ring she’s still rocking…is shorty in denial or something. I’ll give her a few months and she’ll be back on her feet. Keep ya head up mami!

FROM THE TWEETS: RICK ROSS TALKS “MAYBACH MUSIC 3″ VIDEO

LexAve — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 15:50:19 +0000

Yesterday we put you on to an addition to Rick Ross’ Mayback Music series, this time featuring Erykah Badu, T.I., & Jadakiss. And last night, Rozay announced via his twitter page a tidbit about the soon to be shot video. Word is Erykah Badu will direct the video…this should be interesting considering her recent controversial video “Window Seat”. Check out Erykah’s re-tweet below…further confirming their new collabo.

Are you looking forward to Erykah Badu’s direction on “Maybach Music 3″?

FROM THE TWEETS: QUE PROPOSES TO DAWN VIA TWITTER?!

LexAve — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 22:06:31 +0000

Here’s another juicy albeit dumb tidbit you missed over the holiday weekend…check out who proposed marriage to their lady love via twitter. None other than Que from Day26. The boy is so much in love, he took it to twitter to reveal just how much he loves his girl and wants to spend the rest of his life with.

No word if Dawn Richard actually responded or even accepted the proposal…since all she seemed to tweet about on the 4th was about “Dirty Money killing their performance in Atlantic City”….okaayyyy.
Remember when people used to say something about “climbing a mountain top and profess their love”…so is twitter the new mountain top? Anywhoo…I can’t help but wonder if this true or just another ploy at PR stunt? And is this really romantic? What happened to the good ole days…when a guy would get on bended knee? Now they just take it to twitter and say their piece in 140 characters or less. REALLY?!

FROM THE TWEETS: “G.O.O.D MUSIC” RELEASE DATES- BIG SEAN x KANYE WEST X KID CUDI

skool — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 15:56:12 +0000

centeR> There’s about to be a load of “G.O.O.D.” music coming our way. Big Sean took it to twitter to announce that his new album Finally Famous, Kanye Wests’ Good Ass Job, and Kid Cudi’s Man on the Moon Pt.2 will all drop on September 14th.

How crazy and random is that? What’s the marketing strategy behind it? Hopefully one of ‘em will sell. My money is on Kanye West of course and Kid Cudi will trail behind, with Big Sean left in the dirt. What you think?

IS DROPPING PANTIES THE REASON BEHIND TREY SONGZ’ SUCCESS?!

skool — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 01:56:02 +0000

Trey Songz has created quite a buzz for himself this year with the release of his album Ready. He damn near put out seven singles and countless videos back-to-back! The good folks over at That Grape Juice snagged the “Panty Dropper” for an exclusive interview–where he talks about the success of his album and how it pretty much blew his previous albums out of the water.

Trey attributes his success to the heavy “steam” he created for it by dropping mad mixtapes and utilizing Twitter. But what about your sexually-charged videos and lyrics Trey?! Is sex really the reason why he’s been successful this time around? Or can we say that the songs are just versatile on this album? Realtalk, I’m a Trey Songz fan, but sometimes I’m a bit uncomfortable listening to his a$$ moan all the damn time in my ear. #Imjustsayin
