All the Harry Potter fans are probably curled up right now reading the final Harry Potter installment. I pre-ordered mines earlier this year and haven’t started reading it yet – but I will. Yeah I’m a HP fan AND WHAT?! I know I’m not the only one. On to the round up!!!
I GUESS THERE WILL BE NO FUGEES ALBUM. 
Tear. I guess there will be no album coming from The Fugees anytime soon. In an interview with Billboard.com, Pras expressed frustration about the status of the long-awaited Fugees reunion, which seemed on track as of last fall.
“We went in the studio and recorded a couple records that were incredible. But, to put it nicely, it’s dead,” says Pras. “Me and Clef, we on the same page, but Lauryn [Hill] is in her zone, and I’m fed up with that sh*t. Here she is, blessed with a gift, with the opportunity to rock and give and she’s running on some b*llshit? I’m a fan of Lauryn’s but I can’t respect that.”
50 CENT & KANYE HEAD 2 HEAD ON SEPT. 11TH
What album will you be buying on September 11th? That should be an easy question, but you never know. Is 50′s reign officially over? Will Kanye make history? Who knows check the stats after their albums, Graduation & Curtis hit the stores. Should be a good one and you know 50 is already running his mouth! Read what he said:
I mean, I hope that they see and understand what’s getting ready to happen. I’m not moving. I’m coming September 11th. If Kanye come that day, then he come that day. I mean that’d be great if he actually stays in that date. I think his people are smart. I think he’s smart too. I think they’ll move, but I’m not moving…Jay’s not gonna let that happen anyway. He’s not gonna leave him there. [read more]
He calling you out Kanye!!
RIHANNA WANTS TO BE THE BLACK MADONNA
Rihanna recently told Paper Magazine that she wants to be the black Madonna:
“The other stuff I did was easy breezy–a lot of [it] I felt was stuff that any artist could have done. This one only a certain artist can do. . . . I want to be the black Madonna.”
I guess she can probably pull it off if she manages to change her style on each album. I’m not going to lie I am becoming a Rihanna fan, sure she can’t sing too good but there is something about that chick. Most people are starting to get sick of her but I’m sure a lot of people said that about Madonna too.
I think 50′s reign is over and Kanye will come out on top. Although i must say 50′s last 3 release singles I have enjoyed and Kanye Ive been a fan of him since my Junior year in high school and know Im a Sophomore in college so he has my back all the way
50 vs Kayne???? Is that a serious battle, Im betting Kayne 10,000,000,000,000 to 1
I reallly like rihanna too and i was also looking forward to a fugees album .
What’s so special about Madonna, besides the fact that she made herself famous without being able to sing, which is nothing new in the current rnb world
50 and Kanye 50 always got something smart say ol silver back gorilla lookin ass and yall know Harry Potter aint over it’s HOAX LMAOOO J/K
Rhianna needs to be herself why does she wanna be a middle aged white woman how old is Madonna 60??
i am a huge harry potter fan too
rihanna is killin
she went big this year
and i kno she will be grabbin them
grammys
billboard
and ama
awards
next year
since when did 50 reign? dont care about harry potter and rihanna should want to be rihanna i dont see anything that great about madonna even tho other people do
iono bout 50 and Kanye…I’m rooting for Kanye so 50 can see he ain’t all that
Rhianna…don’t like her voice, but she got flava
don’t know what’s wrong with lauryn…
…although i can speculate what might be wrong with her…
Yeah I wasn’t one of those fools who queued for hours (I heard 50+) for the new Harry Potter book, I’m gonna get mine tomorrow a lot of shops are doing deals, I check the best one, I mean i’m a fan but damn that queue had to be funky!!
It’s a shame about The Fugees,
I don’t really have an opinion on Rihanna, I don’t really like her voice but I think she’s OK, but she is reminding me of Beyonce right now, in the case of damn she’s everywhere, but I suppose people got to do there thing,
Kayne Vs 50, come on now what i’ve heard of 50 cent new album is garbarge I don’t like Kayne’s single (Stronger) but If I was to bet on one winning it’s Kanye, 50 got a big head and thinks he can release any old crap and sell, and to be honest I can’t stand his ass right now, even though sometimes the same can be said for Kayne (he has been big headed sometimes) but for real Kayne is a better artist and doesn’t have to pretend to be a gangster like fiddy
I don’t think the girl “literally” means she wants to BE Madonna…I think she just would like to have the same “staying power” Madonna had. Madonna’s image was forever changing and she always brought something new.
Rhianna’s obviously stated she’d like to switch up her next album…see the correlation…?
Check out Madonna’s music…you’ll see.
For real @4
LOL@ 5
i will be buying the kanye album!!!! i abhor 50 cent i mean who wants 2 listen to the same stuff over and over, yeah rhianna just needs to be her self she could have named any one besides madonna, lauren hill is on that diva stautus, them 8 yr olds be serious about they harry potter
I think Rihanna is bullshit, she’s just trying to stay current. With each new look, reinventing herself and trying to be different, it’s no different then ANY OTHER artist out there. People got tired of Beyonce because she was overexposed and everywhere, but when it’s Rihanna it’s a whole other story. I don’t see anything special about her, she cannot sing or dance. The other thing thats good about her is her looks so she might as well be an upgraded CASSIE.
I agree with whoever said that 50cent’s reign is over. It really is and i know there’s going to be sad and pretty pathetic comeback on his behalf. I’m just ready to start cringing anyway. What a shame. “In Da Club” is still my jam though ;D
Boo hoo no fugees album? I’m over it. Nothing good lasts forever.
I love Harry Potter! I’m on number 5 right now, so I won’t be coppin’ the latest one for a while.
Rhianna has all of Madonna’s style of reinvention and NONE of her talent. I wish her success though, and her songs aren’t that bad…
im buyin both they singles were great im tired of rihanna
LOL!!! I’mma HP fan!! (Though my ass wouldn’t be standing in line for hours just to be the 1st one to get a copy. I’ll just wait until the next time I stop by Books-A-Million) However, it might be awhile before I go get a copy, seeing as I already have to read books this summer for school, & I don’t wanna read more than I have to.
I really hope Kanye doesn’t move his release date & outsells 50′s gorilla lookin ass!! Kanye’s talented & stands out, while 50′s just a rap stereotype injected with steroids!!
50 is quite confident for someone whose single basically flopped lol…personally I don’t like either of themb /c they both are cocky as hell but I want Kanye to come out on top b/c of those comments 50 just made and b/c Kanye is actually talented and versatile
As far as her style yeah Rihanna changes up her look but to be the black Madonna she has to have her longevity along with the changing up of looks….give her like 5 more years then we’ll see if she’s the Black Madonna

Now Now fans of 50 why do you all do that you put him on top now your sick of him wuz that all about? First Ja was doing his thing he had everybody saying it’s murder then you kick him out because you all started su#king 50 di$k People start acting like they never own a Ja record. So now who are you going to put on the top?? You threw Brandy out for Ms. B and the way you go off on her it’s sick. Remember when you couldn’t turn on ur TV and not see Brandy, the doll, the show her and old boy from boys 2 men damn fans can go threw somebody hell Im with usher Fu*k the fans
I saw the new Harry Potter movie and I will probably get around to reading the book all 1,000 pages lol
I loved the Fugees but since Lauryn is crazy as hell, this would never work.
I am not a fan of Kanye at all, I kinda like 50 and I love that “amusement Park” song, but my local stations aren’t playing Kanye AT ALL, no one is feeling him like that..
Rihanna the next Madonna? That makes sense.. neither one can sing but somehow manage to sell records,,,
Rihanna PLEASE, you couldn’t touch madonna with a stick. At least Madonna can dance, and she had stage presence. Rihanna can’t dance nor sing and is boring. She better hope she be around in 5 years which I don’t think she will. And also Madonna sells records, Rihanna barely can got platinum.
All you f*cking bloggers are a joke. 50 & Kanye both have a certain lane and their own fan bases. They both will sell with 50 winning the first week sales race. He is hip hop. He makes good music as well as Kanye. All ya’ll mother f*ckers are haters. Everything 50 put out is decent, compared to all that current trash. Ay Bay Bay, Wip Me Down, Make It Rain, etc, all trash! I Get Money is hot! Amusement Park wasn’t a mega hit but it was creative, at least he didn’t come out and just say “Wait Till You See My Dick”, like Ying Yang Twins. 50 keep doing your thing, f*ck all these haters. Kanye keep doing your thing, f*ck all these haters. I’m buying both!
lol@22….i agree about the Ja Rule thing……once 50 started bashing ja,everybody found a reason to suddenly dislike him…..thats those damn “fans” for ya though.fake!
i’d buy a kanye west album over 50 any day….no,let me rephrase that i’d BUY a kanye album even if 50 offers his for free…wtf i wanna hear about how much money 50 got on 10+ songs when kanye actually has substance in his music.yeah right
rihanna-i love the chick….still hangin in there!
50? Whatever, man. I say Kanye. At least he has something to talk about. But too many teenagers, I suppose, wouldn’t get the message. It’s all about the hook to them, something they can bounce too or whatever >.> Whatever on that, lol.
Rihanna has never been a favorite of mine and I don’t think she can sing. Artists that get by simply on looks get on my nerves… Mostly because the media tries to push them down our throats. Wonder how tall she is, because she could do modeling. Then she wouldnt have to open her mouth so much.
Hmm, Harry Potter……………. I’ll just wait for the movie ^_^:;
Lauryn Hill is on something for real. I don’t know what it is, but she need intervention for whatever it is. I’m sure that would’ve been a good album.
Madonna was not the greatest vocalist (just like Janet) but stayed relevant and controversial with songs talking about real things – war, abortion, religion. If Rihanna wants to be around she better put that damn um-ber-ella (ay ay ay) down and get it together. I can see the potential though, so good luck to her. Poor Lauryn, that used to be the girl. I hope she can get her life together!
Harry Potter is good actually, I aint read the 5th 6th book yet, so I got a long way to go before I get to read the new one lolllll
Oopz looks like Pres pissed wiv Lauren, but I get his point…she has her amazing voice and she aint doing anything with it at the mo or for a long time now, probably she thinks shes too good for the Fugees but I mite be wrong, but the album would of been gd its a shame theres no reunion. Stumming ma pain wiv his fingers…classic
Ohhhh give it a rest Rihanna and shut the hell up, like I before she need to be herself and not follow in other artists foot steps, its like she cant think of these ideas for herself….I thought she wanted to be the next Beyonce, but I think she realised that would neva happen in a million years so she wanna be Madonna now??….oh my. Im going off her every single minute…..I loved Ri Ri when she was a girl like me gal, I would dance all the time when SOS & pon de reply used to come on, now she getta too outta hand and not being herself!! So stop tryna be something ur not and stop copying other artists Ri Ri!! smh…
Who cares if they both Kanye and 50 releasing their album on same day which is sooo stupid haha! Doesnt really matter, they are both loaded anyway so its not like they need anymore money lollllll…..actually you know what I dont really care bout Kanye or 50 but it will be jokes if Kanye did sell more than 50 haha I wanna see the look on 50′s face….he will screwwwww
^ Wow I wrote quite alot lol
LMAO@ 22 I love Ja Rule 50 clowned him now everybody hated him im like wtf Ja Rule went hard it’s MURDAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! LMAOOO I have a ja rule record his first album ja rule has always resembled joe camel
Really sad about Lauryn ( She was an inspiration to me growing up) , Beautiful, Intelligent, Talented…just the Bomb! I wonder what happened?
Rhianna is doing the damn thang, I knew something was up the first time I noticed her ,she was posing w/ Jay-Z and Beyonce and surprisingly my attention was drawn to her, when it’s usually to Beyonce, so…She’s far from talented but I guess we’ll see how this turns out!
I hope ‘Ye and 50 do drop on the same date! Cause I will definitely be picking up the Kanye CD. I think 50 needs to retire and just make his money else where, and it’s obvious that he is threatened by Kanye! His tired ass first 2 singles should’ve been an indication of that…i beleive that was his reason for pushing his ablbum back the last time! However, I AM feelin’ his single I get Money! It’s hot as hell, but sounds more like a mixtape freestyle over Cassidy’s “Hustler” beat, than an actual CD single. I guess we’ll see how this one turns out as well. Plus his record label will probably buy about 600,000 to make it look like he sold more.
Harry Potter – who gives a fuck. Idioits standing in the rain/sleet/hail/snow just to cop..SMDH
Thank you # 12. I thought the same thing after reading the first few comments.
I swear, some people are sooooo slowwww.
Personally, I am not a Rhianna fan, but the girl is making moves. Can’t deny that.
As far as her music not having substance, give her a little time, she’s young.
What does she really know about life’s up and downs from a personal standpoint.
I like actually like 50′s Amusement Park, it bangs in the club down here. Kanye is so fucking arrogant I cannot stand his ass. So I won’t be coppin either.
I am waiting on my girls Teedra Moses and Algrebra Blesset – ATL STAND UP!!
Oh, and Lauryn need to step away from the pipe for real. This chick has literally lost her mind.
I THINK 50CENT IS SOOO PLAYED AND HIS SINGLES HAVE BEEN SUPEEERR WACK!!!KANYE I MEAN AT LEAST HE’S TALKING ABOUT SUMTHIN AND IM FEELIN HIS NEW SONG REGARDLESS OF CASSIE BEING IN THA VIDEO,RIHANNA IS GONNA BEE BETTER THAN MADONNA CUZ THA MATERIAL GURL WAS NOTHIN BUT A HOE!!! AND YALL KNO IT AND SHE CANT REALLY SING EITHER,AS FOR THA FUGEES I NEVER THOUGHT THEY WAS MAKING A COMEBACK NE WAY SO…… NUFF SAID!
Angel, I would have never pegged you to be an HP fan. I’m more of a “Charmed” and “Supernatural” kind of guy.
OH AND TO #33 IM DEF WAITING FOR TEEDRA MOSES ALBUM, I SAW HER IN CONCERT, BOMBBBBBBBBB!OH AND LIKEWISE WONT BEE BUYING EITHER ALBUMS!!HOLLAR!!
Rihanna is AMAZING, ya’ll just some haters. Shes doing her thing and theres nobody like her. Rihanna has universal appeal unlike alot of the female singers today – she can be R&B, she can be reggae, she can be pop and she can be rock. Shes everything wrapped into one, thats what i like about her because i like everything too.
Look at some of the other girls today, Ciara always does the same type of songs, Cassie well dont get me started on that untalented bitch and Beyonce, well she’s ok but i’m tired of her being everywhere.
I really dont get why Rihanna is compared to Beyonce, she sounds nothing like her…the only thing i can think of is that their most black and successful.
Wow Teedra Moses coming back? I swear she only did one single?? I liked her I think she was kool..
kanyes album will definitely be better than 50′s but only time will tell who will sell more. both are redundant to me (50 w/his money, guns, hos, and kanye always dissing females who go to college. that $hit annoys me) Lauryn Hill is done careerwise, shes too into the deep end. as for harry potter, i only read the first book and seen three of the movies. i’ll just wait till the hype is over before i put my time into the rest of the books. as for rihanna being madonna. britney tried the same route and look what happened to her. make your own damn route.
The MAJORITY of people so far say that Kanye will win, and since the public makes you and breaks you, I’m 99% sure Kanye will win. Evrybody is tired of G-Unit and says 50′s singles are garbage. Also, I’d rather see KANYE win, because although both are arrogant fools, Kanye NEVER tried to destroy someone else’s career or reputation to build his own. Plus, Kanye isn’t stereotypical like 50 cent, and he can actually talk about more than hoes and guns. So yeah, ‘Ye better win this battle, 50 cent needs to be humbled.
Rihanna is already just like Madonna…..A so so sing who can dance a little
and gets by on her sex appeal.!!!!
Madonna can’t sing to save her life, and did use sex to sell, but artistically, musically, and as far as charisma, she has always been on a TOTAL ‘NOTHER level.
As for 50 and Kanye……I won’t pay money to her a couple of Negroes brag about the money clothes and hoes they got…
I think she’s just not on the same page as them artistically. Can’t the songs they recorded at least LEAK?? Pras is talking about INCREDIBLE RECORDS, I want to hear them.
^^ Talking bout Lauryn..
Like Pras said “Lauryn is in her own zone”….. and it’s the crack zone..!!
#25
I’m sure JabberJaws and The Grape Ape feel good after reading your comment. Only a fool would be blind not to see this is all hype machine and publicity stunt.
we are not soundscan so it is not realistic to compare 50′s fan base to kanye’s
there is some overlap, but let’s be serious the people who buy 50 are people who cannot be as concious as the people who buy Kanye. They are worlds apart in concepts. If you just like beats and music and dance and listen to anything you groove to without paying attention to concept of content you are in the over lap.
One don’t give a fuck about bitches, and is about that money and still likes to express himself using the words “ho” “bitch” and “nigga” etc the other is interested in intelligence puushing the envelpoe and not forgetting where he is from………..
pick a side…the lines are drawn
fcuk curtis! AZZ always gotta be cocky, amusement park, candy shop, all his shit looks and sounds the same, take off yo damn shirt and grin yo ugly azz in the camera.. his boring videos are all the same, him and his entourage in all black running across the camera holding their crotch, AND at least kanye is creative.
Kanye > 50
Hell, even:
Ja Rule > 50
50 Cent’s albums only sell because he always “beefing” with someone right when they’re released. First it was Ja Rule, and then The Game, so I guess now it’s Kanye’s turn. 50 Cent is just no talent gimmick and I can’t wait until he disappears.
Please, Jay isn’t moving Kayne, and if he was thinking about it…50 just shot it to hell. If anything Jay is goona keep him there now. Plus, who wants to support someone who sells records by dissing other people? Ugh…
Get it Rihanna.
I agree with Pras on Lauryn Hill, her attitude is just frustrating, you were on TOP of the world in 98 and she could’ve still been on top but she just refuses to use her talent.
I read the first three Harry Potter books, and that was because in high school we had to pick books with a certain amount of pages for my English class. I did enjoy them though.
Lauryn, GET IT TOGETHER.
Like I said on the post about Kanye album cover. I’m a big fan of Kanye so I’m definately picking up the cd. And 50 Cent is constantly feeding the same bullshit and people still eating it up. I copped the first cd because he showed that he was different and actually had rapping skills. But now its the same bull as all the dirty south rapppers yall love to hate.
Rihanna you can inspire to be whoever you want. Just stay grounded because you can fall as faster than you can blink. Just ask Lauryn?
Kanye west all the way……sry 50 stop buying ur shyt since get rich die trying cd…after that u got corny…with that wack ass group called g -uint
she’s cute and that’s about it. we need more artists who can SANG!
I’m so close to finishing the Potter book. It’s a tear jerker
So many people die 
(
Skipping on to Rihanna because I could care less about the other two (:p)… Ummm. Yeah. I think people who can actually sing have a better chance at being deemed “The Black Madonna”…and why does she want to be deemed the black anything? She should want to be herself which only makes me think this whole rocker thing is just fake.
Rihanna, sit down somewhere..please. Be yourself for ONCE.
I dnt read/watch that Harry Potter junk so next…
I can see why Pras is frustrated, damn…
Heard about the ”50 vs Kanye showdown,” Cant tell me nothin is my jam, I HOPE Kanye outsells 50 but you never know!
f*** harry potter!to hell with hte fugees then.I’m gone get kanye’s c.d.i bet you that’s all Rhianna eats.oh, she wish she could be the blacm madonna.i’m dat’, haven;t ya heard?:P
