PUT ON BLAST: Wycelf sounds off on Lauryn Hill

Lauryn I love you and all, but get help, and get over yourself. You gave us a great album, the best rap soul hybrid album of all times, and then started getting crazy on us. Get help, and be easy like your supposed Fugees comeback song said. Its been nearly 10 years since we have got quality work from you, and we miss you.

Don’t expect a Fugees reunion any time soon!

Wyclef is coming clean about his issues with Lauryn Hill, and it’s not pretty.The Miseducation songstress had been sued in the past (and lost) - for failing to give writing credit on her breakthrough solo album - and now her former bandmate is rubbing salt in her not fully healed wounds.Wyclef was interviewed in the new issue of Scratch magazine.This is what he had to say!Scratch: What’s going on with the Fugees reunion, or lack there of?WYCLEF: I’m officially Paul McCartney from the Beatles now. If the Fugees wanna come back, and Lauryn wanna come back…you can’t break the format. Don’t come back and be like, “I wanna produce a beat.” That’s like me saying I wanna sing an R&B vocal. When we was working on the album, I was like, [to Lauryn], “You need to do this like this.” [And] she says, “How do you know what’s relevant? I haven’t heard anything from you in the past like three, four years?” The minute she said that I was like, I gotta go back to working.So what’s ultimately holding you guys back?Lauryn is straight up the problem, bro. She wants to be a producer. Don’t come telling us how to chop up beats so you can get credit for it.What makes you think she would take the credit?We did a remix [with] Lauryn for John Legend, for the record “How High.” John Legend was saying our names. You know what she had [him] do? She was like, “Take off Wyclef and Jerry’s names.” Because she wanted people to think that she was the one doing the beat…I’m a producer and I’m a beatmaker with my cousin Jerry Wonder, and I’m a writer. She’s a writer, a vocalist, [and] a great [vocal] composer. And she’s great at picking out samples—she got 20 billion samples but can’t chop ’em up to save her life.So she hasn’t made any of the beats she got credit for?It’s real simple—if you did the beats, where are the beats? Show us one beat that you did. If you bring ’Clef to the studio, put an MP, put an SP, put a bunch of stuff, bring a bunch of cameras [and] say, “Clef, do a beat in two minutes.” The beat’s done! Bring Lauryn Hill in the studio with the same camera, say we give you three hours. Matter fact, **** it, we’ll give you a month—do a beat. She can’t put it together!

If you are and hip hop artist, and missed Ice-T at the making moves conference this weekend, you played yourself

Ice kept it real about the industry ya'll. Lots of things we thought we knew, as in this being the worst time ever in music, he confirmed. He even broke it down like..."Look at being a rapper today as if you went to college and bust ass to get your degree as a nurses assistant, only to find out after you finish that Nurse's assistants only make $25,000.00 a year."

He went on to say that maybe 10 rappers today are rich off of music alone, and suggested, with the rate that Baltimore artist actually make it, that kats "Don't quit their day job".

He compared the industry to the 'pimp game', and pointed out that most deals are 7 years, and the record label has the option to terminate at anytime. 7 years is also the same amount of time that European servants coming to America on 'credit' were required to be slaves to work off their debt. He pointed out that the labels don't give you anything, and are more like loan sharks that give you money up front, only to take it all back, and then collect 5 times more than you on your profits. If you are in the red these days, record labels in 2007 force you on tour to work off your debt, collecting all monies off shows and merchandise until your advance id recouped.

His suggestions. Get into a new industry, but if hip hop music is for you, produce everything yourself so that you own it, submit your project for distribution to record labels, and get 50%. If they didn't front on the creative process, then they can't front and try to get all in your pockets.

GET IT GRANNY: At 50 years old, give or take a few months, Madonna set to sign new music deal worth 100 million dollars...

Madonna, seen here with other oldies but goodies, Cher and Elton John...LMAO..

Of course, unlike Janet's deal which was worth a whopping 30 million for 1993's, "janet.", and then she resigned in 1995 for a staggering 80 million for 4 albums and a greatest hits project, Madonna's deal also covers her tours which are a 200 million dollar venture all to themselves.

MADONNA EYES $100M LIVE NATION MEGA-DEALBy BRIAN GARRITYMADONNAShrewd businesswomen Madonna is pondering hanging up on Warner Music Group in favor of life without a traditional record contract. With the Material Girl's existing pact with Warner Music Group's Warner Bros. Records winding down, her camp is considering an all-encompassing music deal with touring giant Live Nation that could be worth more than $100 million. An agreement, if struck, would create an entity that would manage all Madonna-related businesses, including albums, touring, merchandise and sponsorships over a multi-year period. Live Nation would acquire an equity stake in the pop diva's overall business. The joint venture company would then look to enter into an agreement with a label to handle distribution and marketing support of any Madonna album releases. Madonna is currently in London working with A-list names like Justin Timberlake, Pharrell, and Timbaland on the follow-up to 2005's "Confessions on a Dancefloor." It's the last studio album due under her existing pact with Warner and is tentatively scheduled for release later this year. Warner Bros. Records Chairman and CEO Tom Whalley, Madonna spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg and Live Nation all declined to comment. Privately, insiders regard the Live Nation talk as the opening salvo in what figures to be an extended re-negotiation of her deal, which was last extended in 2000. Sources say her camp has also been shopping to other labels the joint venture concept, which follows in the vein of deals inked by EMI with Korn and Robbie Williams. "Confessions" - a commercial and critical comeback from 2003's disappointing "American Life," was Madonna's first album with the existing Warner management team of WMG CEO Edgar Bronfman Jr., U.S. Recorded Music CEO Lyor Cohen and Whalley. It has sold over 1.6 million copies in the U.S. and spawned a successful world tour that ranked as the top grossing series ever for a female artist. The 60-date tour generated over $193 million in reported revenues.

http://www.tmz.com/2007/07/27/lindsay-i-wa...-black-kid-was/


Just before Lindsay Lohan was arrested early Tuesday morning, she commandeered a car and took three men hostage -- this, according to the three men who were in the car with her.TMZ interviewed all three, and here's the lowdown: Rewind to Monday afternoon. Dante Nigro, Jakon Sutter and Ronnie Blake drove to Malibu with the boyfriend of Lindsay Lohan's assistant. Lindsay and her assistant ran into Dante and friends. Later, the assistant text-messaged Dante, saying Lindsay wanted to invite him to a Malibu party that night.Part OneLater, Dante says, he and his friends drove to the party. Dante and the assistant's boyfriend were let in, but Jakon and Ronnie were rejected and stayed outside. Dante says Lindsay was never without a drink during the evening and he even did a shot with her.At one point, Lindsay's assistant and her boyfriend walked outside and got into an argument. Lindsay came out and got angry at her assistant. The assistant then said, "I quit," which enraged Lindsay.Part TwoRonnie says Lindsay looked "very messed up" and "raging."Dante and crew were ready to leave. The GMC Denali they were in belonged to Dante, but he was sitting in the front passenger seat. Ronnie and Jakon were in the back seat. The assistant's boyfriend was behind the wheel. The keys were in the ignition when the assistant's boyfriend got out and continued the argument with his girlfriend. She then got in her car and left.According to the group, Lindsay suddenly jumped in the driver's seat of the Denali, started the engine and began driving -- chasing the assistant's car. Ronnie says he was so fearful, he jumped out of the vehicle as it accelerated. Just as he hit the ground, he says Lindsay ran over his foot and just kept going.Dante and Jakon say Lindsay then hit Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. Dante says he tried to grab the wheel, prompting Lindsay to say, "If you touch me I'll sue you." Jakon says they pleaded with her to stop.Part ThreeDante says they were going 100 MPH. They say Lindsay caught up with the assistant and began doing circles on PCH, around the assistant's car.They say at one point, Lindsay boasted, "I can't get in trouble. I'm a celebrity. I can do whatever the f**k I want."Part FourThe now former assistant finally lost Lindsay on PCH. Dante says Lindsay thought the assistant was going to her mother's house in Santa Monica so Lindsay went there. It just so happened that the assistant's mother was pulling into the driveway as Lindsay arrived.Dante says the mother panicked at Lindsay's crazy driving, and backed out of the driveway in fear -- not knowing who was behind the wheel. The guys say Lindsay then began to chase her at speeds of up to 80 MPH through Santa Monica, blowing multiple red lights.Dante realized the mother was driving to the police station and warned Lindsay if she didn't stop she'd get in hot water. He says Lindsay responded, "I'm a celebrity. I'm not going to get in trouble."The two cars stopped in a parking lot near the cop shop. When police arrived, Dante says it seemed as if Lindsay told officers, "I wasn't driving. The black kid was driving."Dante and Jakon say they saw Lindsay flunk the field sobriety test. They say when she tried touching her nose, she almost fell over.As Ronnie put it "It was pretty much the worst night of my whole summer."Lohan's reps had no comment.

Hott New Remix of Kanye West's "All Falls Down"...

http://www.dailymotion.com/search/beyonce/video/x2mn7z_all-falls-down-destinys-child-editi_fun

The ladies of Destiny's Child have taken "All Falls Down" by Kanye West and added their own funk mix to it. And Once again, Beyonce proves to the be the most amazing as she fell down the steps, directly on her head, got up and swung her mama's weave without missing a step. She even asked the crowd not to You tube it. As Cher and Dion would say, "As if"...

Michelle proved herself to be bigger than kelly as she jumped up from her fall, with the help of some dancers, to continue getting her bootylicious on. Kelly's tired ass had to be carried out on a stretcher, and had the audacity to say "she told us she was going to bump like this". She sure did. She bumped her head on the stage when she fell. LMAO

Messy Michael Vick

Michael Vick is a sick muthafucka. Today Michael Vick was indicted on animal cruelty charges for harboring 52 beaten and under-nurished pit-bulls at his Virginia home. If you haven't heard the story this one is a whopper. So apparently All-Pro NFL superstar Michael Vick has been running a string of dog fights out of his home in VA. Now this story broke a while back but apparently people were too caught up on Paris Hilton to take notice. First off I aint no animal rights activist and I like fur coats. But I saw pictures today of one of the dogs and my fuckin stomach turned. There are claims that the dogs who lost the fights were deemed not tough enough and basically excecuted in a babaric manner. For example one dog was beaten to death....bare handed. Another dog was doused with water then electrocuted. Crazy right. And they wonder why I carry protection 24/7. These fuckers are nutz!

I guess my biggest problem with all of this is that Michael Vick is a fuckin millionaire and why does he need to have dog fights for money? So between the NFL, Nike, EA Sports, Gatorade, Under Armour and all your other endorsements you just weren't making ends meet huh? So you got the great idea of hosting dog fights in a Virginia mansion. Then killing the dogs who lost amd starving the dogs who win. I guess it sucks to be a dog in the Vick household. Michael Vick, you're a douchebag.

(idea.) Hey, I gotta cat. I need money. Hmm...He may be onto something...

Til next time,

RETRACTION: Baldy Spears did not beat mom with beer bottle

Sorry Brit.

Be easy!!

LMAO!

"Praise the Lord"...messy Catholic Church forced to pay millions!!!

Los Angeles Catholic Church in record abuse dealSun Jul 15, 5:33 AM ETLOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles has agreed to pay $660 million to 500 victims of sexual abuse dating back as far as the 1940s in the largest compensation deal of its kind, the plaintiffs' lawyers said on Saturday.ADVERTISEMENTThe settlement, which means victims will receive more than $1 million each, is the largest from the Catholic Church in recent years following many cases in which victims sought financial compensation for suffering abuse from priests.Ray Boucher, lead plaintiff attorney in the case, said he would issue a joint announcement with the Archdiocese of Los Angeles on Sunday of the settlement.The case was scheduled to go to trial on Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court, focusing on 12 plaintiffs who accused former priest Clinton Hagenbach of molesting them. Hagenbach died two decades ago.Had the case gone to trial, lawyers had sought to put Cardinal Roger Mahony, Archbishop of Los Angeles, in the uncomfortable position of testifying about the Church's response to abuses dating from the 1940s to the 1990s.Because the criminal statute of limitations has expired, victims in California and elsewhere have brought lawsuits against the Church over the issue.A spokesman for the Los Angeles Diocese, speaking a few hours before lawyers for the victims announced the deal, would only say that church officials planned to be in court on Monday morning.The judge hearing the case would have to approve the settlement, which a party of the case who did not want to be named put at $660 million.LARGEST GROUP SETTLEMENTA lawyer for the Church did not return calls to his office and home.David Clohessy, national director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, said the deal was by far the largest group settlement with the Catholic Church, although a handful of plaintiffs have received greater amounts on an individual basis than each is to receive from this settlement."It is never about the money," Clohessy said in an interview. "Victims want healing, prevention, closing, accountability."The diocese is expected to sell property to raise the settlement funds.The Los Angeles Times newspaper has estimated that the Los Angeles Archdiocese has real estate holdings worth more than $4 billion. Several U.S. Catholic diocese with less substantial holdings have filed for bankruptcy protection in wake of the abuse scandal."Though it has always been the position of the Archdiocese that the insurance companies must honor their responsibility to fund a major share of future settlements, the Archdiocese must also be prepared to fund its share of these coming settlements," Mahony said in a May statement."This will require the Archdiocese to begin to dispose of nonessential real estate properties in order to raise funds for coming settlements, and to reevaluate some of the services and ministries it provides to parishes," he said.The Archdiocese also settled 46 cases in December for $60 million.Boucher said settlement negotiations nearly collapsed on Friday, but then continued until a deal was reached on Saturday. He said a few religious orders named in the case declined to participate in the settlement.

MESS OF THE WEEK: Baldy Spears smacks mom with a beer bottle

Tarzana, CA - Britney Spears was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, assault with a deadly weapon and a misdemeanor drug charge Monday night, after a 45-minute standoff with local police following an argument involving her mother and ex-husband.Authorities received a 9-1-1-distress call from Federline Monday night claiming that the 25-year-old "Toxic" singer was "viciously attacking her mother." When officials arrived at the scene, Spears was reportedly shouting several obscenities and waving around what appeared to be a broken beer bottle. She proceeded to attack a white Chevy Avalanche and demanded to see her babies. Three bystanders approached her and asked for an autograph, but were denied by a pushy Spears who continued to scream obscenities at them. Britney's mother, Lynne Spears was rushed to the Hospital after Britney hit her with a beer bottle. Local Police forced Spears to the ground long enough to sedate her. Sheriff Lee Baca said they also found "traces of cocaine" in Spears' car. She was booked on several charges and is expected to be arraigned in Los Angeles County Court Tuesday morning.

Perez Hilton's gay ass needs to stop the madness!!

Its one thing to be gay, but to be on a one man mission to prove everybody else is super messy. What Perez Hilton needs to do, is shut the fuck up, sit down and thank the Lord for these riches his talentless ass doesn't deserve.

His new victim is Shemar Moore. Apparently he lifted the story from the "National Enquirer", and Shemar is suppose to be on the nude beach. Well, who cares? As much as he works out, why not? But of course, Miss Thang Hilton has to twist it and make it a nude GAY beach in his efforts to make the whole world gay.

Personally, I hope Shemar proves he wasn't on a gay beach and sues his ass for slander.

I'm happy...

So I hear that I got you all in an uproar about what I said about Al Sharpton. I just thought you all want to know the truth about this person that you idolize. Somebody said to me well dont you believe in forgiveness? I said of course I do but he was a reverend buying and selling coke. A man of GOD buying and selling coke. Why are you suprised that I dont want this person telling me shit. AIDS, murder and poverty are destroying black communities and this nigga worried about Don Imus and Paris Hilton. So yeah I spoke my mind and if I gotta rise outta you then good. That's exactly what I wanted. Stir some shit u p a lil bit. Hope it leads some people to do research about those that they look up to but don't know shit about them. When shit hits the fan you wont be left with egg on your face and a dick look cause you wasn't in the know...til next time.
