Mary J. Blige and Drake join Jay Z at Yankee stadium
Sep 17th
Jay-Z went out with a bang on the second night of his historical co-headlining gig with Eminem at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday (Sept. 14), bringing out guests including Mary J. Blige, Drake, and Nicki Minaj to assist him on some of his biggest hits. The Queen of Hip-Hop Soul sang the hook on Jigga’s “Heart of the City (Ain’t No Love),” while Young Money’s favorite fake couple Drake and Nicki gave a rendition of Drizzy’s “Up All Night.” Even if you weren’t there, you can relive the moment by watching the clips here.
Some unions are pre-ordained and, following Jay-Z and Eminem‘s Home and Home finale at New York’s Yankee Stadium this week, fans shared their hopes of hearing an album from the two legends. Even Mrs. MJB, who performed at the concert during Jay’s set, weighed in.”I think that’s great,” said Mary. “I think Jay-Z and Eminem doing an album together is very very historic, exactly like the concert was.”
The concert was historic because it marked the first time Yankee Stadium allowed hip-hop to take over their grounds, but a Hov and Shady LP would be special because it would be the first collaboration the Detroit champ’s ever done, barring his D-12 albums. On the other hand, Jay-Z has released collaborations with Best of Both Worlds with R.Kelly in 2002 and Collision Course with Linkin Park in 2004.
At press time, there were no reports of either MC seriously considering a project together but fans can dream, right? ”Jay-Z and Eminem together? What a phenomenal duo,” said Kaylyn Schenieder.”If Jay and Em did a record together it’d be off the hook,” said Dontae S. “It would be amazing.” Another gentleman essentially said the collaboration would be the generous act of a higher power. ”If God could only bless this earth with Jay-Z and Eminem doing an album together, all hell would break loose,” said Armaan Torado. “It would be impossible to find that CD, trust me.” ”They’re two of the greatest artists of our generation,” said Eddie Blackmon. “If they got together, it would sell millions and millions of records.” Read the rest of this entry »

The curvaceous diva headlined the Festa Do Peão de Boiadeiros (Cowboy Festival) in Barretos, São Paulo, Brazil on Saturday (Aug. 21), performing a 15-song set that included “Dreamlover,” “My All,” “Obsessed,” and “I Want to Know What Love Is,” which was No. 1 in the country for a record-breaking 27 weeks. She changed multiple times from a black princess-like dress with matching tiara to a leather jacket and T-shirt that read, “If you like fun, you’ll love me.” – Typical of Mariah Carey.
A grateful Mimi thanked her Brazilian fans for their support following the show, fueling pregnancy rumors with her comment. “Thank you SO much 2 everybody in Brazil @ the show 2nite!

Drake announces welcome home concert for Lil Wayne
Aug 22nd
A fitting homecoming is already being planned for Lil Wayne. The day after he is expected to be released from jail, the Cash Money rapper will celebrate by throwing a welcome home concert.
Drake made the announcement during his Ustream session on Thursday, saying it would take place on November 5, but an exact location was not disclosed. Drizzy has a show the day before in Los Angeles and the day after in Las Vegas. Lil Wayne is serving his time at Rikers Island in New York.
“Undisclosed location, November 5, the Welcome Home Weezy concert,” said Wayne’s protégé while sipping on Pinot Grigio in his Toronto crib. “You might as well camp out at all different locations. That’s gonna be crazy.” – Saying that i’m still wondering when Drake will begin his world wide arena tour? – Although announced by his label there was no follow up!
Lil Wayne has been serving time for weapons charges since March. He is expected to be released on November 4. His EP, “I Am Not a Human Being“, will arrive on his 28th birthday on September 27. I’m sure that this private concert for Lil Wayne will be the crème of the crème and I’m sure that Drake will line up everyone across the land to turn up to this…now let just hope no get arrested again!
