Nas held a black & white inspired ball last night to celebrate the release of his new album “Hip-Hop is Dead.” He kept it all in the family too, because, Kelis, his daughter Destiny, and Olu Dara (his father) were there. Luckily his nasty ass baby mama didn’t get an invite.

THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW

   

Jazmine Sullivan – Feel Nice (full) – download
I just really love this girl’s voice. It’s ridiculously different from anyone that is out right now, and not only that, but she’s a masterful songwriter. As many times as we’ve mentioned Jazmine Sullivan on this site, you should know that she’s penned plenty of hits for plenty of people. If you haven’t check on Jazmine’s music, please log onto her MySpace page and give this girl a listen.

Drake feat. Trey Songz – Replacement Girl (full) – download
I posted this song from my homie Drake just the other day, but in case you missed it, here it goes again. Although, I previously haven’t been a huge fan of snap music, this song is really catchy and Drake’s flow is pretty sick to me. If you haven’t heard of him, make sure you check him out on MySpace. I am proud of him!

RUMOR: DADDY KNOWLES IS PISSED AT J.HUD

Word is Beyonce’s puppet master tried to go for blood when Dreamgirls’ breakout star, Jennifer Hudson refused to sign with his management team. Marc Malkin has the details for you all:

I’m told things soured between the Knowles family and Ms. Hudson because Daddy Knowles tried unsuccessfully to woo the former American Idol contestant as a client to his Houston-based Music World Entertainment management company.

“He tried to sign her halfway through production of Dreamgirls because he wanted to be her manager,” my source says, “but Jennifer turned him down. That’s when things really went south.”

Although Hudson already had management during this time, a source tells me Matthew has recently told some people he’s actually been managing her “for a while now.”

“He walks around saying he’s her manager, and everyone is like, ‘No, you’re not,’ ” a source says.

I’m told that Daddy was so insulted by her refusal to sign with him that he demanded the movie be re-edited to lessen Hudson’s screen time and boost Beyoncé’s. He argued that his daughter was being shortchanged but was rebuffed by the studio and the filmmakers. In one meeting with director Bill Condon, I’m told, Beyoncé’s mom, Tina, went into a “tirade” about how he ruined the movie for her daughter. “It was supposed to be her Oscar role,” Tina hissed, according to a source.

So I guess Beyonce and Jennifer were cool, but of course Bee’s crazy parents wanted to start something up. This goes to show you that the parents are to blame for the way some of these stars act. Don’t know if this one is true, but I wouldn’t put it past the Knowles fam.
