MUSIC NEWS: KEYSHIA COLE ALBUM NEWS / PREVIEW RIHANNA’S “REHAB” VIDEO / JAY-Z SAYS NO BLUEPRINT 3 IN 2008
Thursday, November 13, 2008
Keyshia Cole will release her new album, A Different Me just in time for Christmas on December 16th. The album is led by the single, “Playa Cardz Right,” featuring the late Tupac Shakur.
But it seems as though our friends at Rap-Up.com have confirmed that Kanye West and Nas will make guest appearances, and the album will also feature a duet with Atlanta native, and close friend, Monica.
All of the songs on the Oakland native’s latest effort were written or co-written by her with production from producers such as Ron Fair, Polow Da Don, Trackmasters, The Runners, Kwame, and Neffu.
In the mean time, while you wait for Keyshia’s new album, you can tune into the new season of her reality show, The Way It Is on BET every Tuesday night.
PREVIEW RIHANNA’S “REHAB” VIDEO
Pop princess Rihanna gives us a little sliver of her new video from her new single from Good Girl Gone Bad, “Rehab,” featuring Justin Timberlake, who co-wrote the track with producer Timbaland (view photos from the set here).
Rihanna really has milked this album for everything that its worth! “Rehab” was one of my favorite tracks from the album, so I’m definitely not mad at her! The video, directed by Alan Furgeson, should be released any day now.
JAY-Z SAYS NO TO BLUEPRINT 3
The rumors swarmed in this January that famed rapper Jay-Z would release a new album, Blueprint 3, via the DJ Clue mixtape, I Am Legend, but blogs were quickly hushed that it wasn’t true, even with the new song, “Ain’t I.”
But then it seemed that blogs reported that Timbaland was to produce the helm of Jay-Z’s new album and that he’d be going for a more “worldly” sound, and that it would be like no other material that we’d heard from Hov. But then, the track “Jockin’ Jay-Z,” produced by Kanye West arrived and it seems as though the reports switched, and Kanye would be resposible for most of the production.
Now, even with the leaks of “Swagger Like Us,” and the newest addition, “History,” it seems that the speculations of Jay-Z releasing an album come Christmas have ended. No album will be delivered by December.
“I never said that. I don’t know where that comes from,” Jay-Z told Angie Martinez on Hot 97 last week.
Kanye West also gave MTV News a statement about the progress on Jay’s album:
“He wanted to do a few more joints, so he kinda pushed it back. Now we’re gonna go in and just work on some more records.”
Well, I guess we’ll just have to wait. I’m wondering what the album will sound like, though, considering there have been so many people claiming that they’re producing for Jay. Now that these claims are being dismissed, I wonder if the album will even be titled Blueprint 3 at this point. We’ll see.

I respect the fact that ri could possibly release every song from her album as a hit single it says alot about the quality of the album which can be listened to witout need to skip tracks. Even bee should take note cause few albums can last this long yet after this single the albums radio life should be over…and her live performances aren’t that bad she can sing better than some.

Jay-z lies about everything. Mr. I am retiring. why would anyone believe anything he says? And he didn’t say he isn’t doing an album. He is saying He never said he is doing one. Big difference.

Rihanna gets period cramps - she runs off stage .. Beyonce tumbles down goliath stairs - she stays the whole show (Bionic Bey Retarted Rih)

@#81
Jay has a big + long ass penis (WE ALL KNOW THIS) to go along with those millions soon to billions of dollars so I don’t question Beyonce’s decisions. I would have done the same thing. With all that, WHAT MORE CAN YOU ASK FOR? I AM A BEYONCE FAN BUT THERES NO DOUBT SHE’S GOLD DIGGING THAT MAN. “LOVE”, MY ASS. SHE PROBABLY DOES LOVE HIM, BUT SHE KNOWS DAMN RIGHT HALF OF THAT LOVE IS BECAUSE OF ALL THAT CASH.

Since u idiots want to quote what u “think” Kanye said about Rihanna being the best thing for Beyonce, let me clarify the comment by posting what was actually said…
“This is a wakeup call … people in music get comfortable … Rappers get comfortable…Rihanna was the best thing to happen to Beyonce”, referring to Rihanna’s rise to stardom suggesting Beyonce had to set the musical bar higher. Kanye believed that Beyonce did this with her new video “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)”. He expressed his respect and love for it, while saying it was a concept that he never would have come up with. The Hip Hop Chronicle UK
U kno its amazing how people only see and read what they want to read, don’t get me wrong Rihanna is doing her thing and in a few years she may b an amazing artist, but as of rite now she’s just the “it Girl”, Beyonce is the holding it down, don’t act like “o beyonve uses her looks to sell to”,which is true, but we all kno that B has more talent bottled up in her pinky, than Rih has in her whole body.Rihanna is the Pop Princess, I’m not gon deny that she’s not good competition But Beyonce Is the Queen of this game, she’s worked for her crown, and its not going to b takin away that easy, @ least no time soon…So cmon, stop hating, kuz yall can say that’s what its not but that’s all it is is HATING, Be Real…

Love Keyshia! Can’t wait for the new album! Her voice is one of the best in the industry.
I’m so sick of Rihanna and this album. All these songs sound the same.
Glad Jay is waiting to release his new music. American Gangster was such a DOPE album, he needs to make sure his new effort can stand on its own. I’m still bumping Party Life.

Rihanna’s video, in the desert with the weird psychedelic lights is supposed to evoke conceptual representations of “feigning”…It’s 100% conceptual…

How many songs are on Good Girl Gone Bad? This is like her 6th or 7th video already. It’s time for her to go work on another album, and stop spending money on videos for this album. She’s already sold as much as she’s going to sell for this album.

Why do you Americans always bring race into everything. Damn, you need to get over yourselves. Why can’t you just say Jay Z is a successful man, why did you have to mention his race?! That categorization was not needed.

Rihanna is a joke and still purshing this tired ass album. They rereleased it because it wasn’t selling and now Sasha Fierce is almost caught up to what is her best album (mind you her best did the same #’s as B-Day which was FIRE but considered B’s worse - go figure.)
I’m just tired of seeing her copying Beyonce’s move and posing like their hers.
Even if she stapled Beyonce’s picture to her forehead, she’ll never be Beyonce.
