VIDEO: EVE ft. SEAN PAUL - ‘GIVE IT TO YOU’

Monday, July 30, 2007 |

Here go Eve’s newest video featuring Sean Paul for the song “Give It To You.” Her new album is expected to hit stores on September 18th. I’m assuming it was pushed back due to the KanYe West vs. 50 Cent showdown on September 11th.

No word on our supposed interview with her, but we’ll keep you posted.

MICHAEL VICK SPEAKS OUT

Monday, July 30, 2007 |

Michael Vick has been the recipient of ridicule and wide spread outcry for the dog fighting charges he has been hit with. If you’ve been under a rock somewhere, than you might not know about this.

Beginning on April 25, 2007, widespread media publicity was drawn by discovery of evidence of unlawful dog fighting activities at a property he owns in a rural county in southeastern Virginia. On July 17, 2007, Vick and three other men were indicted by a federal grand jury for felony and misdemeanor charges involving a 6-year long interstate dog fighting venture called “Bad Newz Kennels” and tens of thousands of dollars in gambling activities.

He went on V-103 today and spoke to Porsche Foxx about what’s been going down and why he loves his fans.

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO INTERVIEW

“I put my faith in the man upstairs…I know it’s light at the end of the tunnel”

“I know I put the city through a lot. Under the right circumstances…If I had that opportunity I would love to come back”

“To all of my ATL fans I love ya’ll and I hope to see ya’ll again that remains to be unseen but I’m working on it” [SOURCE]

Thanx to Sandra Rose for the audio!

WHAT TIME IS IT? OBAMA TIME

Monday, July 30, 2007 |

HELLO, I’M BARACK OBAMA

Check out Vibe’s newest cover model, Barack Obama. Whether you’re for or against him, you have to admit that he is a breath of fresh air. Check out this summary of his article in Vibe Magazine.

“For the first time in VIBE’s 14-year history, a political figure graces our cover,” says editor-in-chief Danyel Smith in her Editor’s Letter. “It’s time.” In the exclusive interview — by American Book Award-winning author Jeff Chang — Senator Obama and those closest to him open up about personal sacrifice, his teen years in Hawai’i, the Don Imus backlash against hip hop, and being “black enough.” The two cover images were photographed exclusively for the September JUICE issue of VIBE by renowned lensman Terry Richardson.

Pick up your copy on August 14.
