RAPPER NELLY BLAMES LABEL FOR POOR ALBUM SALES

Rapper Nelly has blamed his label Motown Records for the poor sales of his latest album 5.0. The album has so far only sold 63,000 copies stateside. Nelly jumped on Twitter over the weekend and tweeted, A record deal is a 50/50 partnership! As an artist its your job to provide the record company with music that they can sell! Thing about the partnership is that in the public eye the responsibility is not 50/50! The artist is always the one who []

I tried my hardest not to laugh, but the comedian playing the Pres and the actresses drafted in to play Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey are just too much. This is so wrong!

UK MUSIC NEWS: GIGGS – FROM RAPPER TO CLOTHING DESIGNER

UK rapper and Peckham resident Giggs is turning in to a right little entrepreneur. Giggs has now entered into the world of fashion and has ‘created’ his own clothing line SN1 Wear. Check out the stunning photographs and video footage below… Via Ragggs.com The House of Sean John must be quaking in their boots right now. There’s nothing particularly special about the menswear.
