Thursday, August 14, 2008

As we reported, Keri Hilson is covering Trace Magazine’s annual “Black Girls Rule!” issue. Here are some of the photos from Keri’s shoot. She looks absolutely amazing.

Keri’s debut album, In A Perfect World… is set to release September 23rd. On the album, she’s working with Polow Da Don, Timbaland, Cory Bold, and her single “Energy,” is produced by The Runaways. From what I’ve heard, it’s a great project and I can’t wait for her. Make sure you support our girl Keri and show her some love.

CRAZY FAN INTERRUPTS SOLANGE SHOW

Solange performed her new single, “I Decided” at the Soul Picnic 2008 festival this past weekend in the States, after a short promo stint in London.

During the performance, a fan evaded security and joined Solange and her two back-ups on stage. Solange didn’t seem phased or frightening, and actually made the guy a part of the set. It was funny, because you can hear the security getting a little frazzled during her set.

Solange has been doing a lot of performing to promote her sophomore album, SoL-Angel & the Hadley Street Dreams, due out August 26th! Make sure you check out some more of her performance footage on her MySpace!

MISSY’S BLOCK PARTY PUSHED BACK

Missy Elliott fans are going to have to wait a little longer than the expect for her new album, Block Party. Her 7th studio album, Block Party is the follow-up to 2005’s The Cookbook. It’s been 3 years since her last release, but she made a quick splash back into the scene this year with singles “Ching-A-Ling” and “Shake Your Pom Pom,” which both appeared on the Step Up 2: The Streets motion picture soundtrack. She also leaked the Danjahands-produced single, “Best Best” from her new album.

MISSY ELLIOTT - BEST, BEST

Rap-Up.com has learned exclusively that Missy needs more time to record the album, even after mention of a September release date. Atlantic Records is currently looking to release the album sometime in November, around Thanksgiving but no release date has been confirmed.

I’m thinking that the label wasn’t pleased with the response that “Best Best” got, and they’re probably trying to get a new single. Missy hasn’t failed me, so I think she’ll be fine. All she has to do is put out a super innovative video, and give us a good feature, and she’ll be alright.

I’m not all the excited about Keri Hilson and I can’t even put my finger on why. I mean she’s pretty, got a great voice, but she bores me. “Energy” makes me tired. ::shrugs::

Clearly the concensus is that Solange earned hella cool points for this move. She’s a bit of a risk taker, but I love it. Liking Solange that much more : ]

Ugh, I really, really like Missy and I was even bumpin “Best, Best” for a while. ::patiently waits for more new music from Missy::

I DON’T SEE KERI’S CD DOING ANYTHING.HER VIDEO OR SONG ISN’T GETTING ANY AIRPLAY. SHE’S LUCKY SHE GOT TIMBALAND AND POLOW TO PUT HER ON THEIR STUFF BECAUSE WITHOUT THEM, SHE’S NOTHING. AND SHE SERIOUSLY NEEDS ANOTHER HAIRSTYLE ASAP!

I thought that was hella funny. Solange did handle that well and I like when celebrities realize they are human JUST LIKE US too. If you can dance w/ your crazy ass cousin at a cookout, why can’t she LOL?

why is it that everything Solange does it’s to make her seem more personable, down to earth, rebellious, edgy, etc. etc. while Beyonce is more the “good mama/daddy’s girl”? It seems so forced /manufactured/convenient. As for what Beyonce would’ve done I be she would’ve just smiled at kept performing until security took him off stage.. She usually doesn’t get fazed by interruptions during her performances lol.

And Keri. I just love Keri! Her style seems a lot less fake to me in my opinion.

It’s a done deal…………I LOVE Solange!!!!!!! She has real talent and really did her thing on stage. Most people wouldn’t know what to do with ol’ dude running up there all willy nilly lol. She knows what people like to see and that’s what she did!

GO SOLANGE!!!!! lol

I’m curious…you don’t see Tina babysitting Solange like she did with Beyonce. Maybe it’s because she’s watching the grandchild, but I’m surprised you don’t see her at all.

LMAO @ the guy interrupting Solange’s performance. She is always so down to earth- so I wouldn’t have expected her to handle that any other way. She sounded good too. I have yet to understand the hype around Keri Hilson, I am not impressed. Her music is average to me.

@ Post # 21…this was soooooo not staged…i was there and security was basically non existant!!!! My friends and I realized that there were barely any cops around and we were like WTF?!?! I know this was a free concert but gosh!! They had so many drunk people there, even the guy in front of me was falling over, yet nobody was there to get these people sobered up! So I doubt that the guy was “hired” to get on stage. I love that song “I Decided”, its def in heavy rotation in my car. Props to Solange!

WOW! To me Solange is really coming into her own, that performance, her unique style that she maintains regardless of the haters and just her overall chill attitude! I AM FEELING HER (”he aint hurt nobody!”) LOL i think he may have been mentally challenged still, but she handled that shit like a PRO! GO SOLANGE…we’re rooting for you all the way over here in Jamaica!!!

#86 stfu. You one of those pathetic lames who come on here just to see what Beyonce fans have to say. Go play in traffic.

Nobody knows Beyonce personally so to say she is this or that is just crazy. Just cause she is a certain way on t.v dont mean thats how she is behind closed doors.

Personally I dont think Solange is all that down to earth. She is just desperately doing what she has to do to get out of Beyonce’s shadows. And this does look staged.

92.

WOW

Thursday, August 14, 2008 /

Solange is cool. Usually when someone isnt phazed by things like that it means that she knows how to kick some mean ass. You never know, Solange may be a black belt.

@danDan solange’s top in the vid is from topshop. i wonder if she got it when you saw her

and bee stans fall back. deep down you know bee wouldn’t have been so cool about having that guy on stage. even when she was little known and with dc3, she would’ve ignored the guy until security came but then again most artists would have done that. if it makes you feel any better, riri would have ignored him too. solange just happens to have personality. i think i would’ve been laughing onstage if i was solo

Kudos Brian, that was a great video you put up. It’s just like Solange to be chill about that guy up on stage. She has says she’s laid back and strong- she says doesn’t want to be like the rest of the other entertainers. She don’t care, she worked it anyhow.

ROFLMAO!!! I am in tears…that man did look a little “touched” and that was really cool of her to not let them kick him off. That man will probably remember that for the rest of his life. Good job Solange and she sound good as well. Do your thing! Looking forward to the album.

Solange’s vocals are amazing, i wasn’t sure if she was gonna sound good live,
but she suprised me. GIRL IS GOOD!!! Can’t wait to here more from her.

Missy’s songs are always good. I like it.

Solange is crazy! lol Still, I’m not really feeling her “I’m different” thing…she tries hard and when someone is trying to be highly artistic is super annoying… Rick Ross and Plies and all the other toy soldiers are less annoying than a wannabe Andy Warhol. Still, I can appreciate that she seems to say what she’s thinking. That’s cool. And about the “what would Beyonce do” thing…ummmm she would have had a fit. If you doubt that, go to youtube and see if you can find the little impromptu performace Destiny’s Child gave an awards show…Don’t know if it was the MTV awards or what (I think so) and you’ll see that when they began singing and Wyclef Jean (who had a hand in them getting their deal) who was presenting an award with the group joined in, she made a face at him. LOL! so imagine if this drunken farmer had jumped on stage…she would have had him beaten.

PROVOST...

Maaaaaaaaan, Beyonce’s ass would have pressed the hidden button on her mic that summons the national guard, who - even in the fighter jets they use to respond to her call - wouldn’t have made it there before she fired security for not going for the headshot, the backup singers for not sacrificing throwing themselves between The Queen Mother and her assailant, and everyone in attendance from their day jobs for not ripping the stage apart to come to their goddess’s aid.

And for that reason, I have a little more respect for her little sister. Give me a woman who knows how to say “fuck it!” That’s what I was raised around…

Solange u are my girl!! I wish I could see you @ 6 Flags but unfortunately, I will be on my way back to school in Boston. I love what she did. I really did. Most artists won’t do that.

Keri Hilson. Yeah that Energy track was nice. Yeah, if you could hear her, she sounded good on that Nas track. Yeah she looked great in the Love in This Club video but I’m still not blown away by this chick. It seems like yall be shoving her down our throats too. Idk. She’s not boring but not interesting either.

Missy I just hope you switch your style up.

i think it solange’s song is nice and although the performance is simplistic it’s nice and classic. it was smart of her to keep it simple for now. she can’t come out dancing too much initially because she will be compared to her sister. this is a good start to being independent.
