DOWNLOAD M.O.P. - Stick To Ya Gunz (MP3)


Since this is a Hip Hop NEWS blog I generally stay away from old stuff, but I felt really odd and soiled after that last post. So I'm doing the blogging equivalent of washing out my mouth after cursing. Here's two of the hardest songs I could think of off the top of my head. The Ice Cube/Chuck D. track is off of the oft forgotten, but excellent Kill At Will EP. The M.O.P. track is of course produced by DJ Premier.

NEWS: JR Rotem Impregnates Britney Spears

I don't do the gossip reporting thing usually, but it involves a Hip Hop producer and c'mon J.R. Rotem! Why'd you go and do that? In Touch Weekly reports that he has impregnated Britney Spears.


On November 14, Britney Spears confided to her friends in e-mails that she was four weeks pregnant — and that she was sure the father was J.R. Rotem, a music producer she's been seeing on and off since she separated from ex-husband Kevin Federline in 2006. JR Rotem has confirmed .
UPDATE: Perez says that Britney says it's not true. Good. Thanks Rachael for the tip. Readers: Go to Hip Hop detox here.

LISTEN: Britney Spears - Sugarfalls + Stupid Things

Another sideways post featuring Britney Spears. This time because The Neptunes produced two new tracks off of her upcoming album Blackout. That titling process seems to have been a little misguided with an eye on her recent activities. Speaking of recent activities,'Stupid Things' is actually not about Britney's actions, but seems to be about K-fed, magazines, and other things. Both tracks feature Pharrell crooning on the hook and are unfortunately more in the vein of the sugary drab the Neptunes have been releasing in the past two years, rather than their return to awesome with Clipse and Jay-Z's 'Blue Magic'.

A sideways post. What kind of a world are we living in when Britney Spears records a song with the same title as J-Ro, and kind of outdoes him. Guest rapper AC asks Britney if she "still got that schoolgirl skirt" and announcing that he is "with Brit, while K-Fed is watching the kids" Hope they don't play that one during the custody hearings.

LISTEN: Britney Spears - Gimme More (Produced by Nate 'Danja' Hills)

A 'sideways' post': My excuse for posting this is that this new Britney Spears track is produced by Timbaland protege Nate Hills aka Danja. It sounds like it could've been on Justin Timberlake or Nelly Furtado's last album. Danja inserts a boastie talk outro to the song in which he calls Britney 'legendary'. I'm not sure if Nate is concerned with his cred level, but he's not winning any points with that one. But he did craft a catchy tune. Britney starts this one off at her gulliest with "It's Britney, bitch." Sort of as gangsta as when JD started throwing diss tracks towards the aforementioned Timbaland and Dr. Dre. Same height too.
