Ne-Yo posted up a MySpace blog about the heavy hoopla surrounding many critical comments/actions that he has endured in the past year or so. (Personally Erykah Badu held it down for best celebrity blog rant!) Ne-Yo sure did give his critics plenty of feedback. The blog has since been taken down but read for yourself what Ne-Yo had to say.

“One rule of being a gentleman is to keep your cool and composure at all cost, but right about now I gotta loosen up this tie and take off this expensive suit jacket and talk to the people for a minute. The haters especially.

Pardon my french, but what the fuck is wrong with y’all!?! Are you so desperate for an R&B bad guy that you gotta find a way to create one in me??

Okay, the comment about light skinned babies…….an obvious joke, maybe not a good joke, but clearly a joke. Y’all REALLY took that serious!?!

I understand that a hater’s job is to hate, clearly. But it’s when people start feeding in to what a hater is saying that something must be addressed.

The whole gay thing. For goodness sake it’s been 4 years!!!! Y’all still on that huh?

The whole “boys” song, and the song “go over there”. See this is what happens when people steal. These songs were clearly written for women.

Had you been patient, you would have heard them the way they were supposed to be heard, with the voice of the intended artist on em’. But noooo, someone gets a hold of these demos and suddenly everybody forgets that I write songs for women. Riiight.

I tell People Magazine that Young Jeezy’s crib is right next to mine and that once I saw him in there from across the way. I then make a JOKE about him maybe not wanting to walk around naked in his crib with the shades up because the buildings are THAT close to each other, and that AIN’T something I care to see. Suddenly, everybody thinks I said I saw Young Jeezy in his crib naked when, NEVER ONCE did I say anything like that.

I mean come on people. Is this really what you’re gonna spend time on??

Will you not be satisfied until I truly become this asshole you so desperately want me to look like?? Here’s my stand on the whole thing: I’m NOT gay, I’m NOT prejudice to anyone, I DID NOT get stomped out by Jim Jones or anyone else, I’m NOT engaged, I’M NOT STUPID.

And to anyone that INSISTS on thinking that any of these things are true……FUCK YOU. To the haters….find some new material please!!! It’s 2009, our president is black!!! Time for change. To everyone else……I love you to death, thanx for all your support. WE PLATINUM ROUND HERE!!!!!

Much love, and see you at the Grammy’s. Check the suit…..it’s going to be TROUBLE!!!”

Faith Evans gave her feedback on Lil' Kim's casting displeasure/opinion on the upcoming Biggie biopic "Notorious." I love how Faith wrapped up the whole ordeal. As Faith explained to MTV News...

"It's just sad. I don't know Kim's story like that. The part of my life that she was a part of, that what was in my book. This movie is not relative to my book other than that there are certain things in there. This is not my movie. I didn't write the script. I got four kids, and I definitely don't have time for this type of shi*!"

Biggie's mother Voletta Wallace already addressed Kim. For the record the film was based on the Cheo Hodari Coker novel, "Unbelievable: The Life, Death, and Afterlife of the Notorious B.I.G." What do you think of this Lil' Kim/Voletta/Faith situation?

The long awaited New York premiere of Biggie's biopic, "Notorious" was held last night at AMC Loews Lincoln Square. Many of Bad Boy artists and supporters were at the event except for Total, Mase, Lil' Kim and 112. Would you go see this film when it opens on January 16th?



Naturi, formerly of 3LW, talked about her Lil' Kim portrayal to Black Tree Media. Naturi said she hoped that Kim would be proud of what she did. Kim is said to be upset and disappointed with the casting as reported by Baller Status.



UPDATE: Voletta has since spoke out on Lil' Kim's remarks to Essence magazine.

“I saw a side of my son that I heard of but I haven’t accepted. I’m angered by certain things, disappointed and shocked. So this film taught me tolerance and to be less critical. I would love to speak to Lil’ Kim, because I need to ask more about this love relationship because I really didn’t like the way he treated her and I’m praying that that’s not it. Only she can answer those questions. She’s a sweet girl and I didn’t think she deserved to be treated the way he treated her, if that’s the case.”

At least no hard feelings were meant...

Lil' Kim recently did a live (and quite interesting) remake of Rihanna's song, "Disturbia" in Amsterdam. (Somewhere Rihanna will be amazed.) Kim flipped her hair in full blatant confidence all over the stage but do you think she pulled it off?



Kim collaborated with Jamie Foxx on his new song, "Cover Girl" - a iTunes bonus track lifted from his new album, "Intuition." Loves it...



With these two latest developments from the Notorious K.I.M. and the upcoming Biggie film, will you be looking out for her in 2009?

Labels: Jamie Foxx, Lil' Kim, Music Hoopla, New Music, Rihanna, things that make me go hmm

Lil' Kim collaborated with T-Pain on her new leaked track called, "Download" which samples "Computer Love."



Remember Kim's last leaked song, "Respirator"?! Well it looks like Kim is taking the same auto-tone/singing on the entire track route that has dominated the urban music world in the past few years. Give the new Kim track a quick listen...



Rumor has it this new single is taken from Kim's upcoming album, "Vintage" due out January 2009. Anyhow it's always great to have a new Lil' Kim track back on the scene.

So do you like this new Lil' Kim song or not?

Lil' Kim on her new mixtape, "Ms. G.O.A.T": This mixtape is special to me because I do a lot of female-rapper songs over, and it’s almost a tribute to them and a thank-you and a shout-out. If no one else is gonna recognize them, I’m gonna recognize the women I looked up to and respect and love. I also got a lot of new songs on there, like the one with me and 50 Cent...[SUCKER FREE BLOG]

On-again/off-again couple Lil' Kim and Ray J enjoyed a quiet dinner. I guess these two are just friends as Ray supposedly proposed to Whitney Houston. Kim just released a new single called, "Respirator".

Check out this new single from Lil' Kim, which leaked on VIBE.COM recently, called "Respirator". She seems to be using the same vocal tool that T-Pain simply cannot get enough of. Anyhow the track would be a perfect match for the summer club going crowd.
