Check out the cover of Terrence Howard’s debut album, Shine Through It (set to hit stores in September). Make sure to peep this video, to hear his sound…

MICHELLE SPEAKS ON ALBUM PUSH-BACK

Michelle Williams, former Destiny’s Child bandmate is speaking out about her album push-back. She doesn’t seem too pleased. But then again, why would she? She reference’s Solange’s song, “F*ck the Industry (Signed Sincerely),” so, yeah, that should tell you something. The singer’s third solo project, Unexpected, which is a departure from her other gospel projects, has been pushed back from an August 12th release to drop on October 9th.

This is very unfortunate, considering that a lot of the material from Unexpected has already leaked. Michelle has a pretty solid project to deliver, so I hope this doesn’t mess anything up with her.

CASSIE’S ALBUM DUE OUT EARLY ’09

Bad Boy has exclusively revealed to our good friends at Rap-Up.com that Cassie’s sophomore album, which is still untitled, is set to drop early next year, when we were previously promised a fall release. I think that’s what’s best, considering that “Official Girl” didn’t jump off as they’d hoped.

A sneak peek clip of the “Official Girl” video, featuring Lil’ Wayne, will debut on MTV’s FNMTV on August 22nd. I’m glad, but meanwhile, they need to be choosing a second single for Cassie to keep the buzz going, considering these Diddy relationship rumors haven’t even been able to keep her afloat.

    Will some of you please stop that “black folk need to support/their own worse enemy/we hate on our own” nonsense. Why is everything about race?!?!? If people don’t like it, they don’t like. The color of one’s skin doesn’t equate to the same musical taste for pete’s sake.

    I personally don’t like any of Michele’s songs. With that raspy voice, I feel she should do things that are more along the style of Tina Turner. Private Dancer, We Don’t Need Another Hero and Proud Mary. She’d kill.

    I do have a question though. When your favorite artist like Beyonce tries something different she is praised. When another artist like Solange, Michelle and even Kelly try something different some of you slam them like they stole something from you. Calling them boring and bitches. Why isn’t it applied to Beyonce?

    jay that is so true woman are negative period !!!!!!! im happy im not like that !!!!!

  3. CARLISSIA

    @61 why would you want beyonce to be the same is my question ? and this has nothing to do with beyonce !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  4. always in something

    all matthew wonts is michelle and kelly to be apart of destiny’s child he dosent wont them to go any where beyond that like beyonce and solange anyaways i heard that destiny’s child was trying to make a come back 2009 most likely on beyonce behalf some of you guys are right michelle and kelly needs to give matthew knowles the boot because he’s all about two people and thats beyonce and solange michelle you are at the point where you can make your own rules thats why beyonce married jayz so that she can get from under her daddy butt and still keep her day job.

    terrence howard what are you thinking about you should have done this years ago anyways i’m sure so one is gonna buy your album

    cassie who cares daddy is trying to get rid of you for going around telling everybody that he is hitting that when you know as good as well he is not gonna leave his baby momma kim for you thats right keep spreading your legs and close you mouth unless p-daddy tells you to open it so that he could put his cum in it

  5. always in something

    “real talk” you needs to shut up why are you even up here did papa knowles tell you that you’ll loose your job if you dont kiss his butt yeh bat he did cause i i’m so sick of people trying to take up for him he’s a manager he suppost to make sure that they get promotions isnt that’s what they pay him for put it this way if i was michelle and kelly i’ll put stops on his checks until he finds me more industry jobs other than “save the aids day”lord for give me for saying but this is getting crazy

    p.s real talk you needs to get up off of here because your not helping notthing by the way all thoese people who you named thats suppost to be apart of his “music world camp” who the f#$k is them now i know whos trini tee 5:7 is but whos the other ones tell you what send us some of their music and just maybe we’ll have some idel of what youre talking about

  6. A&E

    I think cassie looks amazing!

  7. Kena-smilez all day

    Is michelle under bee’s dad?
    B/C IF SO: the only way to solve this problem is TO LEAVE DAMNIT, beyonce whether her album is pushed back,forward or comes out on time always is a HIT, but her and KELLY have been TWO YES! TWO MISSES…But in CONCLUSION I heard michelle did well in gospel music, everyone has their own prefrences of music I don’t think it has to do wit fans not wanting to hear it….. but correct me if I’m DEAD WRONG!

    TERRANCE: ok I guess…I still didn’t like that one movie when he b like”whop that trick…it’s hard out here for a pimp ” I mean really?! HATE IT lol

    CASSIE: wow pretty face that I’ve seen hundreds of times before well not hundreds but b4, voice is off the CHAINS in a BAD way, that song was JUST NOT RIGHT anything or one under DIDDY garenteed failure unless JONELLE MONEA hopefully she finds clive davis……but CASSIE yeah if it didn’t work to b wit diddy and that stunt, your bet performance, your music, your CD stop wasting money that could be used for children in THIRD world countries or hell even in w/e state your in…..It’s just sad PRETTY FACES and what the industry or producers wan,t over REAL ASS performers that gives u the chills when they sing

  8. Kena-smilez all day

    let me refrase ok there are BEAUTIFUL faces in those that can sing, but you know how your mama always says if your going to be beautiful have the brains and use that but don’t use your body….it sounds better in my head of understanding but hoipefully u get what I mean and don’t be upset!

  9. I’m rooting for Michelle but I have to admit, I’m not too fond of her voice and I know many other people aren’t either. Everybody can’t sing everything. If Michelle is good at gospel, stick to gospel. If Kelly is good at singing dance music or ballads, do that. If Solange is good at alternative and motown music, do that (she’s weird enough for that). Bey seems to be good at pop- pop is more popular than the other genre’s of music so she cant help but be more successful.

    NOw if I can figure that out and I’m not a music exec, cant Papa Knowles and his camp promote Michelle and Kelly in music they’re good at? AS much as the Knowles tell Kelly and Michelle, “we love you guys”, you are like sisters and daughters to me”, blah, blah, blah, Papa Knowles always shows Kelly and Michelle, he will always and forever only look out for his real daughters, Solange and Beyonce (minus the other kids out there he has that he does not claim- oops, did I slip out a family secret on yall???).

    Cassie can go suck lemons and just pose- she cant sing to save her life.

  10. I agree REal Talk is someone within Papa Knowles camp that have a piece of a conscious left to try to justify the foul moves being made against Kelly and Michelle. It’s no one other than Solange. She’s had her songs leaked all over the loop.

    I really dont believe she is as vicious as her Daddy and her sister in this business. If Michelle is reading this, she needs to go back to the 70′s and 80′s music era. I believe she could go a long way because that music is making a comeback.

  11. Mr C

    Regardless of the industry Matthew Knowles is only interested in 2 people Beyonce and Solange and her record is GOD AWFUL but is getting promotion from HEAVEN. I’m glad Kelly has gone to the UK go where they are showing her love. Here everyone is screaming Beyonce, Beyonce. Time to move on past Bey and before the Matthew defending comes along.

    She (Bey) along with her Father as manager has hi-jacked every female artist including Janet during a release period (remember he decided to do pre-orders of B-day when LaToya’s CD was coming out strange coincedence isn’t it?). But the only one Bey can’t stop is A Keys. She tried to release “The Beyonce Experience” the same day as “As I Am” and got SHUT DOWN!

    I personally like Michelle’s song. The issue with R&B radio is that it’s repetitive and folks are tired. It’s time for something new. That’s why WHITE artists can use our sound and sell millions. Oh and another thing WHITES don’t BOOTLEG!
    Another reason we Black artists are not selling like they nornally have in the past.

    We CREATE our destiny and also our FAILURE!

    Regardless of what GOOD LUCK Michelle

  12. Nothing But Love

    Well if you ask merecord labels are full of puke, whats the point of making are shoot the video so early if they needed time to promote?? smh….its all LIES!!!!!

    And Cassie…..PLEASE!!!!! just stop, stop it right now… no one is gonna buy your ish whether you put it out next week, next month or hell even next year so please just cut it out, i’ve just about as much as i can take from you.

  13. Jo_An

    @39 Cassie, Total Domination of what?…you are so rightttttt
    @56 i was thinking the same thing, the other day she also left a message on the board.
    KARMA…you are very smart,
    LOL

  14. Lady Architect

    Mr C,
    You are so right. I find that to be strange coincidences too how B’day was suddenly available for pre-order during LeToya’s time and suddenly the Beyonce Experience comes out the same day “As I Am” was being released. When Michelle’s album gets ready to drop I’m Beyonce’s video will be aired and her pre-order sales will be available again. It will be another coincidence on behalf of Mr. Knowles.

    You must be a family member, because although Solo is better, bringing the heat is a stretch. I don’t know what dance charts they are talking about she’s on, but when the masses speak you are on the billboard charts, on the radio, something. My guess is the reason for the f**k you industry song is because they ain’t feeling her either. Sounds like she may be mad like Michelle.

    Real Talk!

    @Real Talk

    And as far as the roster you posted, only one person has made a real showing anywhere. As far as Johnny Cash, he was already made.

    Real Talk!

    #56 and #64

    You are right on the money!!!! But the part your missing is Destiny Child will return ONLY when Beyonce’s star start to fade and not until then. Real Talk!!!!!

  18. cherry

    NICE! My friend recommended me a very interesting place “”"”"”W e a l t h y L o v e s.co m”"”"”"” If you’ve ever been there you will know what I mean….

  19. FallBackHaters

    Damn SMH at them doing Michelle like that

  20. Dee

    Terrence is a great actor but a great singer he is not. Go to http://www.singersroom.com to listen for yourself.

  21. Q.B.

    Terrance Howard has a very unique style not saying its the best I’ve heard, but it will do for now. lol He needs to tighten up his vocals though. His vocals aren’t that strong but you can tell he focuses really on the music.

    Cassie on the other hand, Diddy can forward, push back, reverse, or whatever with her album she still gonna sound terrible. I don’t care how much he tries to cloud her voice she doesn’t have enough talent to stay in the game. Really she’s irrelevant, Diddy is trying to push the sexy but its not going to work. Put as many producers on the album as you like SHE’S NOT GOING TO SALE!

  22. Kena-smilez all day

    LMAO num 75, I agree about num 23

  23. Miiami

    Terrence really is easy on the eyes!!!

  24. REAL TALK

    #83 – Sorry to disappoint you but I’m just a person with a mind and an opinion – lmao at both of you.
