    PLEEZE!!!

    YES!!! She DOES look like a younger Jill Scott!! You hit that nail right on the head Tianna….

    Nas-I have bought 3 of his albums and I just can’t get into his rap, I’m more of a Jay-Z fan although since white America found out who he is and he got with SWSNBN, I am getting a bit tired of him

    Kelis- Quit smokin’ dem rocks girl!!! That color is NOT workin’for you or anyone else black right now.

    Chris Robinson does some GREAT work and I was actually SUPRISED that I liked ATL!!! I was certain that it was gonna be another blacksploitation movie, but I was pleasently suprised.

    LOOKS LIKE NAS IS TAKING IT BACK TO THE “ONE LOVE” VIDEO HERE.

    I’VE NEVER HEARD CHRISETTE SING BUT I’LL LOOK OUT FOR HER.

    IF SHE WAS THE GIRL ON JAY’S SONG, SHE SOUNDS LIKE ERYKAH BADU A LITTLE BIT.

    KELIS?

    I give up on Kelis. I liked her better when she was angry woman instead of bizzaro. I appreicate orignality ,but she just went over the edge.

    This is one of my favorite songs on the Hip Hop is Dead album. I’m glad he released it as a sinlge. Frankly I think his album has way better material than Kingdom Come.

    Chrisette Michelle is really pretty. Why Jay Z ain’t put her in the “Lost Ones” video?
    Kelis looks a fool with that blonde, but Nas look s his usual sexy self.

    I like Chrisette Michelle on Jay Z’s Lost One track..She has a nice voice…

    I wonder if Def Jam intends on Releasing a solo project for her..They would be well servedif they did..

    Natalie Cole looks ageless and wonderful…
    Black Woman look prettier as they get older…

  17. Yes Chrisette is looking like a lil’ young Jilly from Philly in that pic. I’ve seen her in other pics sans makeup and she doesnt look like Jilly AT ALL. I wonder why her face wasnt in Jay Z’s “Lost One” video at all? Anyhoo, yes Im lovin Kelis’ blonde do. A lotta ppl are clowning her but she is one bold bitch and is a trendsetter not a follower. I have always loved Nas and I think they make a great couple. But uh back to the post…LOL…Im glad Nat is off drugs. She looks beautiful

    The first pic looks like it could be a scene from Nas’ first video It Ain’t Hard to Tell. I wonder if that was intentional. He still looks like he did back then.

    chrisette michelle, yeah she’s cute…but i heard that, that that’s not her singing on jayz’s lost ones song, but erykah badu….does anyone know how true this is? that would explain why she wasn’t in the video…. and why is nas doing a song with her now? talk about “originality”!

    yes, Chrisette is a Jill “mini-me”, visually and with her vocal style. But I love that, both of those sistas got pipes and I look forward to hearing more from her.

    I’m positive that it’s Chrisette Michele on Jay-z “Lost ones”. She’s my fam, I know that for sure. If u read the credits on Jays album you’ll see that it features her. She also wrote the hook, C. Payne is what u should look for.

  39. Punch them Kelis. What do you all mean Lis isnt fire? She looks great, skin flawless, hair vibrant, outfit minimal, yet WOW.

    Anyhoo, I have been hearing alot about this Chrisette chick and im not impressed. I think she is a good singer, but lets be serious. Why are you all thinking she will BLOW UP? Shes too big, and though pretty, she doesn’t have IT. Look at Jill, she can blow Coke J Blige into a wall with her voice, but she doesn’t have IT, and shes dumb big. You can have the vocals, but you MUST have the look also.

  42. CHRISETTE MICHELE WASNT PUT IN THE LOST ONE’S VIDEO BECAUSE JAY ALREADY HAD HIS VISION SET ON WHAT HE WANTED THE VIDEO TO LOOK LIKE. IT WASNT BECAUSE OF BEE TRUST ME…I KNOW

  43. that girl does look like jill. nas looks good, but i’m disappointed that kelis still has that color in her hair. kelis truly needs to step her hair game up.my fav song from his album is blunt ashes, the beat is just ridiculous.i hope the album sales r going great.

    Now this Christee M. has a fresh sound. When I initially heard Lost Ones I thought the female voice was Connie Rae Bailey.

    We have too many artists that have a similiar sound. Like this new artist everybody is raving about, Keri H.

    That was a good one #50 lol. Now, Natalie Cole is the daughter of the great Nat King Cole. He has a smooooth voice. About ten yrs ago Natalie did a remake of ‘Unforgettable’ which was one of her father’s original songs. She even did a video with herself and some old video footage of her father singing the song. It was beautiful. And I believe she won a grammy for that.

    One of my favorite Christmas songs is a song by Nat King Cole, “The little boy that Santa Claus forgot”. I don’t know when he died. It was a long time ago.

    Natalie is also someone who made a MAJOR comeback. She was once addicted to…I think Heroin. There was even a television special about her life and struggles and her comeback.

    I am sorry you guys but I have to go there. Sing along if you know the song….He’s the little boy that Santa Claus forgot and goodness knows he didn’t want a lot. He sent a note to Santa for some soldiers and ah drum and broke his little heart when he found Santa hadn’t come. In the streets he envied all those lucky boys, and wandered home to last years broken toys. I’m so sorry for that laddyyyy…he hasn’t got a daddyyyy. He’s the little boyyy that Santa Claus (pause) forgotttttttttttttt.

    Nat King Cole had this smooth, sultry kind of voice. And I don’t think anyone can sing this song like Nat. Actually I have never heard anyone else sing it. He was a rather handsome man too. Kind of like a young, slim version of Luther Vandross.

    I was wondering about that Chrisette chick every since the “Lost Ones” video… she’s a younger & cuter Jill!
    I guess Jay-Z & Nas will conti nue to share everything… I know, I know, that was in bad taste.

    @ Sexy…SWSNBN=She which shall not be named lol!!

    I guess you don’t visit other gossip sites much huh lol? No disrespect, it’s just that there is ANOTHER very popular “black gossip” site that I stole that from =)

    NO ONE wants to say her name, even the webmaster’s themselves, cuz STANS wake up from their COMA’s and start this OBNOXIOUS back and forth shit and then we are at 400 comments in NO TIME FLAT lol

    but to everyone that said Natalie Cole is beautiful, timeless etc….WTF? I like a few of her songs, her father is a LEGEND, but THAT WOMAN, has alwayz had this MASCULIN look to me,like MOST women that smoke do (I don’t know if she does) and she is UNATTRACTIVE AS HELL to me?!

    She looka like-a man
