Adele Sells 10 Million Copies of "21"


As if Adele wasn't already putting everyone in the record industry to shame enough with her broad range of accomplishments, she crossed yet another plateau this week. Her ridiculously successful sophomore album "21" has officially reached diamond status in the U.S.. For some of you that ride a short bus, diamond status is indicative of an album that has sold 10 million copies. The album in total has sold 10,020,000 copies. This is nothing short of  incredible considering 21 was released just last February of 2011 and has already went diamond. On the day of it's release, 21 debuted at number one with 352,000 copies sold within its first week and has since then remained in the top ten albums of the Billboard 200 for a staggering 80 friggin weeks. It spent 24 non-consecutive weeks at number one, the most ever for an album in the Nielson Soundscan era. The only other albums that have went diamond in a shorter time span were "No Strings Attached" by N Sync's in just 43 weeks after their release and last but certainly not least, "Millennium" by "Backstreet Boys" in just 39 weeks after their release. Boy Bands were doing it big back in the days, folks! 21 has been the best selling album for two years, selling 5.82 million copies during 2011 and 4.2 million copies this year.

21 impressively spawned three #1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100, namely being "Rolling In The Deep", "Someone Like You", and "Set Fire To The Rain". All of which have also went multi platinum during their presence on the charts. "Rolling in the deep" sold the most, with 7 million copies, "Someone Like You" with 5 million copies and "Set Fire To The Rain" with 4 million copies. "Rumour Has It", being the final single from 21 was top 20 but still managed to sell 2 million copies of itself. I would say that Adele was kicking ass and taking names in regards to the success of this album, but even that description wont suffice. The endless success this album has garnered is beyond phenomenal.

I've never been a fan of the Grammys due to the mass corruption of that entire committee, but just for the sake of Adele and her raw talent I will mention them. Adele amazingly won a total of 6 Grammys in one night, which were Best Pop Vocal Album for 21, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Short Form Music Video for "Rolling In The Deep", Best Pop Solo Performance for "Someone Like You", and of course the highly prestigious, yet controversial Album of the Year. For once in the Grammy's history, an artist wasnt cheated and was actually well-deserving.  Adele is an awesome singer-songwriter and Im so glad that her hard work and immense talent has been widely recongnized. I've been a fan of her's since her debut album 19. I find everything that she does truly inspiring, provided that we were born in the same year. It seems that not all of my generation were a bunch of fuck ups.
 
Watch a tearful Adele accept the Grammy for Album of the Year below:

Fist Brown Deletes His twitter AGAIN!


UH OH!! Looks like Fist Brown has went off on the deep end again, ya'll! He recently deleted his twitter after a heated exchange of words with some ho named Jenny Johnson. This child really needs some professional help STAT! He always gets butthurt over the most miniscule of things and I think that its just hilarious as hell! Its literally like a formula now: Someone says something bad about Fist Brown, Fist Brown goes on a psychotic twitter rant, Fist Brown deletes his twitter, Fist Brown uppercuts his computer screen! If he showed as much dedication with his music as he does in publicly making an ass out of himself, then maybe he wouldnt have a flop album at the moment that refuses to go gold!
 
All of this started after Fist posted a picture of himself on his twitter with the following remark:"I look old as fuck! I'm only 23...". Yeah, no shit, Sherlock! When we look up the meaning to the term "rode hard and put up wet", a picture of your face is right next to it, you dumb fuck! Anyways, this person named Jenny Johnson followed up with a comment on his photo that said: "I know! Being a worthless piece of shit can really age a person." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I dont know who this woman is, but that really made me laugh my ass off for some reason. Anyways, Fist Brown then responded with the following rebuttal that everyone should use on someone who pisses them off: "Take them teeth out when u Sucking my dick HOE". Then she said:"It's 'HO' not 'HOE' you ignorant fuck." Yeah, it gets more pathetic, folks. here's the transcript of the rest of this stupid ass meaningless argument in its entirety:

Fist Brown: I look old as fuck! I'm only 23...

Jenny Whatsherface: I know! Being a worthless piece of shit can really age a person.

Fist Brown: Take them teeth out when u Sucking my dick HOE

Jenny Whatsherface: It's 'HO' not 'HOE' you ignorant fuck.

Fist Brown: I should fart while ur giving me top.

Jenny Whatsherface: Your mom must be so proud of you 

Fist Brown: Mom says hello... She told me not to shart in ur mouth, wanted me to shit right on the retina.

Jenny Whatsherface: YOU FLIRT!!!......Okay. I'm done. All I got from that exchange with Chris Brown is that he wants to shit and fart on me. I have zero respect for a person who seems unapologetic for the terrible crime he committed and shows no signs of changing.

Fist Brown: just ask Rihanna if she mad?????? 

Then, this unknown skank of whom I already cant remember the name of retweeted Fist Brown's last comment while adding "Get some help. Seriously"



Fist later on told his twitter followers: "To teambreezy... Know that I'm not upset. Just felt like entertaining the ignorance. These bitches crazy." Then he made hundreds of his pathetic fans go into seizures by deactivating his twitter account. There's a riot in a mental asylum somewhere. How the hell are you gonna turn into an immature hot ghetto mess on twitter, but then backpedal and say "Know that Im not upset"?? Could this guy get any more ridiculous?

Then came something that no one saw coming. Fist Brown's personal punching bag Rihanna inserted her own unwanted two cents by posting a photo of the timeline of comments along with the message:

"How does one find time? We gotta do better than this!!"

Oh really Rihanna? Now youre the immaculate star student and spokeswoman of the peer mediaton squad? You better shut up and get outta here before your man uppercuts your ass again! I guess she felt compelled to tweet that b.s. because that's her nigga, but whatever ho. Keep making your embarassingly stupid ass music. CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE!

Now its time for my two cents. I will begin by saying that this is utterly hilarious, yet sad and pathetic! Today we have realized that even people who dont exist can make Fist Brown angry and embarass himself by saying some of the most ratchet things that Ive ever heard. Fist Brown is about as immature as they come, but I will say this: I have never even heard of this Jenny Jackson or whatever her name is until today!!! She's not even worth me posting a picture of her to go in this article. Thats just how insignificant she is to me! To be honest, I couldnt even find any pictures of her irrelevant ass at all, so who is she to talk about someone?! My farts hold more worth than this bitch. Atleast my farts actually get people's attention even if the attention is only negative. If the worlds most used search engine of all time Google couldnt return any pictures of her ass, then that's saying something. How about you actually spend time trying to make a name for yourself instead of going at it with people younger than you on twitter? Youre not even worthy enough to be a wrinkle on Roseanne Barr's fat ass. Retire your sorry ass so called comedienne career immediately. 

Now in regards to Fist Brown, he is a fucking Grade-A idiot!! He's no better than these random dumbass niggas that you would find on the street who pop off at every little thing under the sun. I would've asked her if she was Natalee Hollway or somebody and then went on about my business, or better yet I wouldn't have responded to her at all. You know why? Because I wouldnt have even known who she was but the most important reason is that it doesnt matter. Fist Brown needs to realize that he willingly gives the world reasons to dislike him when he does stupid stuff like this. This is yet another one of his countless tirades and life events that categorizes his personality as vulgar, immature and ratchet. Congratulations, Fist Brown. You have embarassed my generation once again as well as set us black people back a couple of years. I really hope that youre happy with yourself.



The End Is Nigh, Folks!


Did you year those horns? Its the horns we're prompted to hear that signal the end of the friggin world! You know why? Because Rihanna has scored another number one single on the Billboard Hot 100 with her latest single called "Diamonds"! This makes it her 12th number one single, thus tying her with MANdonna and The Supremes. She has now officially surpassed Whitney Houston's 11 number ones. Rihanna currently stands at 4th place amongst artists with the most number one singles. Others that have more are The King of Pop Michael Jackson with 13, Elvis Presley with 17, The Queen of Pop Mariah Carey with 18 and The Beatles with 20. Rihanna and Carey stand as the only active artists with the possible oppurtunity to surpass The Beatles.

So what does this mean, folks? Will Rihanna eventually surpass Michael, Mariah and The Beatles? In all honesty, its quite possible (I hope not) but I will tell you this: Provided the many different types of media that we have access to in this highly technological age, its easy as hell to acquire a number one single. All you basically need is popularity, good looks, Itunes, Youtube, the willingness and lack of dignity to sell yourself out and then BAM! You've got yourself a number one hit! Before the advent of Itunes, Youtube and piracy, people actually ventured out of their houses to the store to buy an album, or most commonly at that time a single. When people like Michael, Mariah and Whitney were on the scene, they worked hard as hell to promote their music. Live appearances, the radio and a music video were the only forms of media provided as a means of promotion. Itunes didnt exist and singles usually existed physically in the stores. Some still do now, but not nearly much compared to the 90's. If folks went out of their way to purchase your album or single back then, it really meant something, and that particular accomplishment of acquiring a number single was highly praised and respected among the music industry folks. You know why? Because actual EFFORT was required the entertainer to promote, and the masses to buy. Nowadays, all you have to do is open your itunes to buy a particular song, wait until it leaks, or watch it on youtube.
 
For someone who sounds like an amputee goat with a horrible case of  gastritis when she sings, I must say that Im shocked as hell that this horrible ass song reached number one. Ive previewed the Diamonds song, and admittedly I can only sit through 30 seconds of it before my ears start screaming "TURN THAT SHIT OFF"! I have tried numerous times to listen to it in its entirety, but I just cant. Its nowhere near number one single material, but yet most of the songs that have went to the summit in this day and age are shit. Gangam Style, anyone? Dont even get me started on that bullshit. Anyways, let me also remind you kids that Rihanna has already released yet another album this year called Unapoligetic. It was the follow-up to Talk That Talk which was released last year. She's appearantly following the Mariah formula by releasing and album every year and obviously wants to keep the momentum going for herself. I honestly thought that Talk That Talk being the sorry hunk of shit that it is would end her career, but I guess not. It appears that the public is still not tired of her ass, but I know for damn sure that I am.

T-Boz Destroys Nicki Minaj


Boy I tell you, T-Boz is just full of friggin suprises, man! I had not heard a damn thing about her since dial up internet connections were the most optimal speed you could get! That is, until TMZ reported that story a couple of months ago claiming that some scary repo men were lurking in the shadows trying to get her ass for her 2005 Honda Oddysey that she was several months behind in payments! That Sounds like some scary and sad shit, doesnt it! Well we all know the story about LA Reid and Pebbles being responsible for TLC going broke, so therefore I will let T-Boz slide. After all, hos lie all the time so that may have been some fabricated shit. However, in the spirit of pure harmless comedy I'll assume that it did happen and I'll say the following about it: Either T-Boz is still checking around every corner for the scary repo men trying to repossess her car and soul, or she's successfully worked out some sort of payment arrangements. She appearently felt safe enough to do a one on one interview recently!

T-Boz touched on many subjects during her interview including her health, memories of Left Eye, her favorite music and her opinion on the latest tv talent shows. When asked if she would ever appear on the X-Factor or American Idol, she vehemently replied that she would decline such an offer. She basically said in so many words that these televised talent competitions no longer focus on the talent and are mainly focused on the judges. I couldnt agree more. This is why I dont even bother wasting my life watching that bullsh!t. These tv companies are all about the money and are only looking for the hottest people as judges to bring the ratings in! Its not rocket science, folks!
 
But that isnt the killer of this interview, folks! T-Boz then went on a rant about how Nicki Garbaj shouldnt be an authority on who's talented or not! Here's an excerpt of what she said:
 
“Just because you’re on TV gyrating and boning and sucking penises, it’s not talent, honey. Maybe in the porn industry, but over here, we entertain. I don’t respect half [of] the people I’ve seen lately. How the hell is she gon’ tell me what I should be doing when her azz can’t even sing. Why is she there? And then…now they’ve got rappers that don’t even sing judging? So, this is totally based off of popularity I guess. I mean, to each their own. Get your money, honey. All I’m saying is, I will never watch [your] shows again.”
 
All I have to say is....HA.................HA...................and...................HA!! T-Boz may be ducking and dodging the repo man but she was right about every friggin thing that she said! Anybody who thinks that a so-called rapper who sounds like an autistic squirrel getting strangled to death and possesed by Pazuzu the demon simultaneously is talented, they seriously need to re-evaluate their life and music choices. It truly just goes to show you the enormity of how delusional this new generation is! They wouldnt know good music if it bit them in their sorry asses! I mean, how else do you explain that shitty ass "Call Me Stupid" song being a number one for nine friggin weeks straight!?! I rest my case!
 
Anyways, catch the T-Boz interview below. Im really questioning the setting of this interview. One could argue that the setting was supposed to be intimate, or that T-Boz feels more comfortable hiding in the dark so that she doesnt risk the scary repo men seeing her and getting her! Yeah I know, Im gonna rot in hell laid out on a hot ass skillet.....

Keyshia Cole Debuts New Video For "Trust and Believe"


Keyshia Cole is not fucking around when it comes to making a comeback. Like most, she probably wants to treat "Calling All Flops" like an event that never happened. Its like someone that you swore looked hot as hell when you were drunk off your ass and ultimately slept with them, but when you wake up the next day, you discover that they actually look like Sloth from The Goonies. Man or woman, it doesnt matter. Anyways, In October, Cole released the second single to her upcoming album "Woman To Woman" called "Trust and Believe". This was a followup from the first strong single released called "Enough of No Love". Woman To Woman is scheduled to be released November 19th. This second single choice was undoubtedly as strong as the first, as It showcases Cole with her signature angst ridden vocals and flawless production again. Yesterday, she released the accompanying video to Trust and Believe which is as interesting and entertaining as the song itself. It features a story that most have probably unfortunately experienced which is a cheating lover. Keyshia, whom is bound to get revenge shows off her wrath and leaves us with a surprise ending sure to leave the watcher cheering for the protagonist.
 
Watch Keyshia's new video for Trust and Believe here:



Mariah Carey "Brings It On Home" With New Song!


As all of you already know, President Barack Obama has been reelected for a second term, equaling 8 years in the white house. The amazing feat will mark the first time a black president has been re-elected and the third time overall that a president has been re-elected at all. Many stars and musicians made their joy of this announcement public, including the Songbird Supreme, Mariah Carey. Months ago, Ms. Carey stated that she had wrote a song in support of Obama's campaign to become president again. She even performed it especially for him at a private ceremony. However she stated on twitter that she wouldnt publicly release the song unless Obama won the election. Since then, a small snippet video of Carey performing had surfaced online, but due to the extremely bad quality of the video, nothing was clearly audible or ascertainable. A day after Obama's re-election was announced, Troll Dupri debuted the song on his twitter. Since then, it was happily made its way to Youtube and garnered a significant amount of views literally just days after its release. The song showcases Carey going back to basics with nothing but instrumentation and vocals, which is what we've always wanted. Her voice is deeper this time around, but nonetheless powerful and capable of doing melismas and whistle notes like second nature.

Kings Of Leon Will Rescue The Music Industry, Yall!!


I am a HUGE Kings of Leon stan, so you folks can only imagine how elated I am to announce this exciting news! Kings Of Leon has resumed touring after a year hiatus! Last night on facebook, a status update was posted along with the above flyer confirming european tours for next year! This must mean that the group has worked out whatever drama they had going on behind the scenes and are ready to get back to touring and slaying these lame ass so called "musicians" of today.
 
For those of you who are slow and have a bad memory, Kings Of Leon cancelled their tour last year after the lead singer Caleb Followill had a "Mariah on TRL" moment onstage amidst performing. On July 29, 2011 while playing in Dallas Texas, Caleb was acting wasted as hell and started rambling about all kinds of irrelevant and crazy shit onstage. It went a little something like this: "Im married to the prettiest girl in the whole fucking world. You guys are the best fucking crowd that I have ever played for...These baldheaded motherfuckers cant keep quiet for shit...Im sorry ya'll but my voice is not working tonight... Im gonna go backstage and vomit, drink a beer and then Im gonna come back out here and try to sing". He then stormed off the stage and never came back, thus causing the band to end the show abruptly and apoligize to the crowd for Caleb's crazy ass rants. Immediately after the flop of a show, Jared Followill, brother of the lead singer and bassist of the band tweeted this:
 
"I cannot begin to tell you how sorry I am. There are internal sicknessess and problems that have needed to be addressed. No words. I love our fans so much. I know you guys aren't stupid. I cant lie. There are problems. There are problems in our band bigger than not drinking enough Gatorade."
 
Here's a video that caught Caleb's meltdown:



Days after that incident, the band confirmed through their website that the remainder of their U.S. tour would be canceled. Appearantly, Caleb needed to be in rehab indefintely until he stopped being a jick. Ever since that incident which was a year ago, the band had dropped out of the public eye and never made a peep until now. Everything seems fine now, provided that they have decided to tour again. You know, Im all for Caleb's crazy ass rants because at the end of the day, we're all human and shit happens. He's undoubtedly one of the most talented and soulful white singers in a long time, so Im sure that the pressure of the band's massive success just came too quickly for him to handle. Im just glad that all is well with him now. When you hear songs like "On Call", "Revelry", and "The End" there is an extremely heartfelt soulful wail that emerges from Caleb's mouth, instanteously captivating you. Its no question of whether or not he can sing because the answer is evident. He can belt, go into falsetto flawlessly and much much more. Needless to say that I will purchase whatever he puts out.


In other awesomely awesome news, the band also confirmed that they are working on a new album that should be out early next year. According to Jared, Caleb has been "writing alot lately, things are coming along pretty quickly" and that we'll get a new album "sooner than later." I cant tell you guys how excited I am to hear this!! Caleb never fails to "take us to church" with his vocals and Im sure that this new album will be twice as soulful provided that he was going through some things in his life. Im all on board for a new album and tour, as long as he doesnt waste my money!

Oh Lawd....Miguel is working with Beyoncé


Miguel is enjoying success off his latest album Keleidoscope Dream and it seems that news of the superior production and composing that is the album is spreading like a wildfire. Beyoncé must've been among the many people captivated by Miguel's latest effort because she's summoned him and his immense talent to the studio to work with her. On October 30, the "Adorn" singer tweeted the picture above along with a message that read "...whoa. creating for Virgo's all weekend". The picture has been deleted since then. According to an interview with MTV, his summoning to work with Beyoncé was very sudden and he was appearantly very shocked to hear the news. Miguel excitedly told MTV:
 
"I heard it from my team, and I was like, 'Are you serious?' 'Are you sure?' 'Are we talking about the Beyoncé? And after taking a second to confirm and double confirm and triple confirm, I'm excited to hear the direction of her new material, and hopefully come up with something that's really special and really showcases her perspective."
 
Admittedly, the news of this gives me a bittersweet kind of feeling. I have a bad feeling that this will end up being a Irreplaceable part 2. Miguel is gonna do the writing and producing, Beyonce's gonna add a couple of coos and stupidly try to convince someone that adding a coo to a song consititutes a full writing credit. Im not kidding, guys, Ne-Yo said this fuckery when he was approached with the question of whether or not Beyonce wrote any part of Irreplaceable. Its ok, Ne-Yo we all know you wrote that entire song and Bey paid your closet homo ass off good. She probably also threatened to expose your strange ass for the fruit we all know you are and he easily gave her a writing credit. I wonder how much she will pay Miguel to turn a blind eye and let her be recognized as a composer of whatever song that HE will create for her. :sigh: Im scared.

Floptina Openly Talks About SwagJacking Mariah Carey



We are 5 days away from X-Tuna releasing her 7th studio album "Lotus" to the public, so therefore she's been trying tell anyone who will listen willingly or not. Ever since Bionic broke records for flopping harder than her backfat, the straining chanteuse has been on the mend with her career. She recently sat down (with the help of a crane) for an interview with billboard to give us a well needed history lesson about her long since passed successful career, the concept of Lotus, and how she likes to steal Mariah Carey's vocal style.

During the interview, Ms. Aguilera decided to relive the initial conceptions for recording her universally popular hit song "Beautiful" for "Stripped", the album that caused her to have an identity crisis believing that she was black. Man, I will never forget that shit! Remember the 2002 VMA's with her strutting out on the stage with her newly augmented titties about to fall out any second? Then came one of the most horrible things I had ever heard in my life, her fake ass southern accent! "WUZ UP NEW YAWK CITY? IM HEEYA 2 PREZENT DA MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARD......AND DA WINNA IZ...HEHEHE..... INTERESTING..... EMINEM!" I was like, "who does this ho think she is? I would love to know who gave that ho a black card because I or any other black person in the world most certainly didnt approve of that mess!" The NAACP is NOT amuzed!! Whoops sorry ya'll, my crazy ass is rambling again. I get a little steamed everytime I think about transvestite Bozo The Clown thinking that she was black. Anyways, here's an excerpt from the article on what she had to say about recording "Beautiful".

“Linda Perry is raw, she’s real and she intimidates a lot of grown men. She’s amazing. I was having a really bad day. I came into her studio. It was at her house at the time. I was working with her on a bunch of stuff. She just kind of sat down at her piano in her dining room and started singing.
Don’t do all that Mariah shit’ — that was her, not me, I love that shit!” she clarified. “But she was like ‘don’t be doing all that acrobatic shit, just sing!’”

Listen ho, everybody already knows you have built your entire career from swag jacking the likes of Mariah Carey. Yes, you undoubtedly swag jacked Whitney Houston as well, but we all know that you most notably stole Mariah's vocal runs and melismas. Don't believe me, folks? Well then listen to the crescendo of Christina's song "I Turn To Food", or pretty much any other song from Strain-Tina's catalouge. Linda Scary's Uncle Fester lookin ass was in the right to admonish this ho about swag jacking somebody else's shit! There's a reason why Linda said "that MARIAH shit". Its because Mariah is a key pioneer in modernizing melisma (a group of notes sung into one syllable or context) within popular music, thus inspiring countless fourthcoming r&b and pop singers to implement it within their vocal styles. Unfortunately as the years passed, melisma became excessively overused  by people like Beyonce and Christina because they only see melisma as a show off tactic, in lieu of a tool to convey emotion like Mariah and Whitney did. 
 
Christina had been citing Mariah as an influence since she first appeared on the scene, that is until both women got into a fight at one of Mariah's huge parties that she showed up uninvited to and appearantly ended with Mariah escorting Sloptina out herself. DAAAAAAMN! Them Long Island ho's dont fuck around! On top of showing up uninvited, X-Tuna probably busted in the place speaking with that stupid ass fake southern accent that she used at the VMA's which I believe most certainly warrants getting thrown out on your ass or head! Mariah must've been mad as fuck to bypass her own security and get krunk with Pennywise! Oh shit, to have been a fly on that wall! Anyways, ever since that whole incident, PennywiseTina swears up and down that Whitney was always her biggest influence ever and not Mariah...until now. Sorry stupid ass, but the only one who's buying that bullshit is you if you dont think everyone is that stupid.

Now in regards to Floptina's new album, I've heard a couple of songs and Im still not sold on whether or not this will serve as true redemption from Flopionic. She's straining in some songs and that shit is grating to my ears!! Its like she's confused on whether or not she wants to sound like Mariah or Chester Bennington. Bitch seriously needs a voice coach pronto. She's been straining for years now and its NOT getting any better. Last time she performed "Fighter" live, she avoided every high note in the song like she avoids the treadmill. Im not sure it Lotus will be a make or break album for her, but if its the case of "break", theres always the Surreal Life.
