THE WEEKEND ROUND UP: HARRY POTTER | NO FUGEES ALBUM | 50 CENT & KANYE SHOWDOWN | RIHANNA “THE BLACK MADONNA”
Saturday, July 21, 2007

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.

Why come if I don’t like what you like, I’m a hater? Am I not entitled to my own opinion? Has 50Cent done anything for the Black community at large, to be considered a hero? Has Kanye? When are y’all gonna start worrying about the right thing? PEACE.

First and fore-most Kanye is an artist - to compare him to 50 is ridiculous. Now look all Of you are truly bein haters when it comes to rihanna. I wasn’t really a fan of hers before until the change. She really through her albums progressed each time. She is doin her thing . She may not be a great singer/ or the best dancer, but she is on her grind doin her thing. And as a black - black female artist who does want to do something other than contemporary rnb and always have a song with a pointless rap hook . A black female artist who wants to step into the realm of pop- rock- jazz- and retro. we all should support her. And yall cant deny that the girl looks hot. Maybe thats what we need right now is an artist who can step out of the box of blonde weave and dry fucking the stage to get our attention and actually perform. I.E. Ciara- she had on knee pads on stage at the Bet awards 2007. and still could sing a lick. Over it. beyonce yeah shes good the best for a long time. But now its time for something new.

Its a shame lauren has just LOST her damn mind. Im really dissappointed that she couldnt hold it together to put an album together. She needs an INTER-FUCKING-VENTION.
BOO 50 You were a better emcee when you were underground. I guess he was hungry then. At least kanye is always on some creative shit, in which I totally respect. He thinks outside of the box so I think his album will do better
Rihanna I hope she does become as big as madonna, why not. Good luck missy.

I have to go with Kanye West on this one….Cuz that song “you can’t tell me nothing” is better then all the singles I’ve heard from 50 cents so far and 50 is just lame…but I hope they both don’t change the dates cuz I want to see Kanye smash on 50…
To #4
What so special about Madonna? Hmmm I’m not a fan of Madonna but what makes her special is she always made controversal music (remember the black Jesus) and she’s forever changing her style up and bringing new stuff to the table. She’s also the best selling female singer of all time. She’s in the guiness book of world’s record for this…So that’s what makes Madonna so special…Nothing wrong with Rihanna wanting to have that amount of success in her career and for wanting to forever be evolving instead of making the same old tired music….

When you post it online, you open yo’self up to anybody else’s thoughts. I clicked your name becuse you are pretty. Iposted my thoughts because they are my thoughts. They ain’t gonna make Harry Potter any less demonic to you, or your pictures any less sexy to me; I await them with slobbering anticipation…PEACE.

get_me_bodied: as a matter of fact, this ain’t the first time I’ve heard that folks consider Harry Potter to be an endorsement of witchcraft; I grew up in a Holiness church. My mom strictly forbade my nieces from watching any of the HP movies. However, she paid for a Jim Jones album. Now you tell me, what’s more demonic: a kid flying around on a broom in a movie, or a guy glorifying selling pioison to his sisters and brothers? PEACE.

I just now finished reading the last Potter, and i didn’t queue either that was all unnecessary, all people had to do was have it amazoned to their house. Good book!! definitely looking forward to the films.
