Mariah was at Jay-Z's concert.
For the ones who come read the news in our HipHop,Rap,RnB crib, you have noticed we reported some problems with R. Kelly at Friday's concert, here's other news:
Feud Leaves One Performer Onstage and Other Barred From the Tour
The Best of Both Worlds tour, starring the R & B singer R. Kelly and the rapper Jay-Z, came to a crashing end yesterday afternoon, one day after a member of Jay-Z's entourage was said to have attacked Mr. Kelly with pepper spray. The singer was dumped from the show yesterday after Jay-Z said he would not share the stage with him.
"That situation was not salvageable, and now we're moving forward," said Jeff Sharp, the tour's promoter. There was no word yet on whether Jay-Z would complete the 17 remaining tour dates on his own. "By Tuesday, there will be a statement regarding the balance of the tour," said Mr. Sharp. 
Mr. Kelly abruptly left the show at Madison Square Garden on Friday evening, claiming two members of the audience were waving guns at him. No guns were found. 
Allan Mayer, a spokesman for Mr. Kelly, said the singer had received death threats in recent weeks. "That's why he decided to leave, this didn't just come out of nowhere." Nevertheless, it was the breaking point for Jay-Z in what has been a rocky tour from its start four weeks ago.
In a preconcert interview yesterday afternoon, Jay-Z called Mr. Kelly unreliable. "Can you perform with someone who might leave you onstage at any given moment?"
Mr. Kelly had still hoped to finish the tour. In a statement issued yesterday, he said: "The fans deserve better than this. I'd like the show to go on. It's really disappointing that Jay-Z and the promoter don't." 
A refund has been offered to those who were interested in seeing Mr. Kelly. Lawyers for the singer are filing a criminal complaint against his assailant, said Mr. Mayer, and are also considering legal action over the decision to boot Mr. Kelly.
Last night at the Garden, Jay-Z performed to a sold-out crowd, rounding up industry friends to take Mr. Kelly's place, including P. Diddy, Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Busta Rhymes, Method Man and Red Man. "I want you to know that one monkey don't stop the show," Jay-Z told the cheering crowd. 
On Friday, the rapper had only minutes to cobble together a show, inviting the likes of Ms. Blige, Ja Rule, T. I. and the R & B singer Usher to join him onstage after Mr. Kelly bolted. "I'm happy things worked out," Jay-Z said. "It could have ended a number of ways. There could have been a riot. People might have been scared and started trampling each other when he said that stuff about a gun.
"That was really like screaming fire in a movie theater."
Just last week, Mr. Kelly, unhappy with the lighting crew, stormed off the stage at a show in St. Louis. He spent the rest of the evening hanging out at a local McDonald's. Several tour dates have been canceled. "He just keeps leaving us out there," said Jay-Z. "Everyone's sick of it."
Shortly after Friday's concert, Jay-Z went on the radio and lambasted his partner for being unprofessional. As of yesterday, the two artists had not spoken. "What's he going to tell me," Jay-Z asked, "another excuse?"
Mr. Kelly's decision to cut the show short on Friday was not well received by audience members, some of them having paid more than $100 for a ticket. "I went in the bathroom and cried," said Dee Dee Duncan, a single mother of two from Harlem and an R. Kelly fan. "I worked hard for that $102."
Natalie Hodgson, who attended last night's show, said she did not miss Mr. Kelly. "I'm glad he didn't come," she said. "I got a lot more for my money this way."

Carey makes another attempt at acting
Mariah Carey is planning to star in another movie - undeterred by her 2001 all-round flop Glitter.
The Honey star, whose '80s-themed movie was panned by critics and avoided by fans, is planning to team up with fellow singers Patti LaBelle, Missy Elliot, Alicia Keys and Macy Gray, as well as comedienne Mo'nique for independent film Ladie's' Night.
The story will follow a group of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, women who spend the night on the town discussing sex, weight, careers and love.
The low-budget movie, a project of Monster's Ball producer Lee Daniels, has also attracted interest from Beyonce Knowles, who's inquired about participating.

Kinou's comment: Huh, mister Contactmusic (as you don't sign your articles), did you saw Glitter?  Or did you only read the bad reviews by critics who didn't saw the movie?  You also say: "avoided by fans", which ones?  The same ones who criticize Mariah's voice, Mariah's outfit, Mariah's collabs with rappers, let me tell you, these are not her true fans.  And to close my comment, do you want I send you a copy of "Wise Girls", apparently you missed this one.

U Make Me Wanna update in the US
After weeks of bulleted, upward movement "U Make Me Wanna" seems to have hit a stumbling block. It does reach a new peak on the R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart (#40) but it does so without a bullet. It holds its #8 position on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart. However on the R&B airplay chart it retains its bullet with a jump to #39.

Heroes note: Nacho sent an e-mail to Radio and Records and was told that the Jadakiss/Mariah Carey record has moved it's "Add date" to Nov. 9 at urban radio.

Puffy bash style frenzy
Sean Combs jettisoned the "Gone With the Wind" theme for his Nov. 4 birthday party in favor of "The Royal Birthday Ball" at Cipriani Wall Street, where he marked his 30th five years ago with a jam-packed, star- studded soiree. The dress code is stricter than strict, if somewhat vague. The invite advises: "Throw caution, conservatism, and trend to the wind. You must show your assets. . . Be a style icon . . . Dress as you have never dressed before. Marvel in the spectacle that is fashion. Your code of dress shall begin with silk, velvet and other luxurious fabrics and end beautifully in hand-tailored suits and gorgeous dresses flown in from the fashion houses of Paris. Blazers and bland outfits do not exist in this land. Instead, three-piece suits, tux edos and ascots for the gentlemen rule alongside the sexy elegance of the women." He then lists 11 clothiers — including Saks, Prada, Valentino, Versace, Oscar de la Renta, Jean Paul Gaultier and Givenchy — who can dress his guests, plus Tiffany and Bulgari to supply the bling and three salon/spas for hair and makeup. The super-tight, secret guest list is said to include Mariah Carey and Bruce Willis.

Mariah's Fantasy brought Morales a Grammy
Grammy award winning DJ, remixer and producer, David Morales dropped out of school aged fourteen, working as a cook by day and DJ by night by 1983 he was selling out the legendary Paradise Garage aged just 21. It was the establishment of Def Mix Productions, however, with partner Judy Weinstein in 1987 that cemented Morales' role within club culture. Their management arm acts as the watchful eye for the careers of Frankie Knuckles, Satoshi Tomiie, Hector Romero and Bobby d'Ambrosio and has brought Morales Grammy success after he produced Mariah Carey's 'Fantasy' album.

Mariah And Jadakiss Unveil New Video
Her last rap collaboration, with Busta Rhymes, resulting in one of the r’n’b anthems of last summer, I Know What You Want. No doubt Mariah Carey is hoping for a similarly positive reaction to her guest appearance with  New Yorker Jadakiss on the smoochy slow jam U Make Me Wanna. Just to remove any doubt, Mariah and Jadakiss this week unveiled a suitably sexy video to accompany the track, which is already making an impact on the US Billboard Rnb chart on airplay alone. Filmed in LA’s Prey Club it features Ms Carey in a suitably eye catching little black dress sure to get pulses everywhere racing. The track, taken from Jadakiss’ no.1 US album should be following his previous smash hits Kiss Of Death and Why? into charts worldwide shortly, and serves as a taster of Mariah’s new studio project, which is apparently set for release early next year. Mariah has been working on the project, which includes collaborations with the likes of Damizza, Twista, Nelly and Kanye West, since completing her critically acclaimed Charmbracelet Tour earlier this year.
What’s more it seems we’ll be seeing rather a lot of Mariah next year. Manager Benny Medina, the man who took Jennifer Lopez from ghetto to stardom, recently talked of his excitement about the forthcoming album, which he declared will "hit all the marks," and also revealed  that Mariah is currently looking at movie scripts, and, demonstrating her determination to build on the kudos she gained for her performance in mobster drama Wisegirls, is currently taking acting lessons. With other rumoured projects including her newly launched Automatic Princess brand jewellery and a series of children’s book under the same name, Carey obviously intends 2005 to be another busy year.
Still, with all that hard work ahead, every diva needs a little time to let her head down and Mariah apparently found the perfect opportunity this week at superstar singer Usher's lavish 26th brithday party, where the birthday boy's gifts included a $40,000 Audemars Piguet watch. Guests at the bash, held at New York's Rainbow Room included Jay-Z, P. Diddy, Pharell, L.A.Reid and Patti labelle. But despite the presence of the woman rumoured to be Usher's new girlfriend, supermodel Naomi Campbell, most of the male attention in the room was apparently focused on Mariah, who attended dressed in full flapper style, complete with headress. Reports suggest Mariah, who is a long term friend of RnB heartthrob Usher, was the centre of attention on the dancefloor thanks to the likes of  Sean (P. Diddy) Combs, Jay-Z and Jermaine Dupri surrounding Ms Carey.
Sounds like she should have her options open if current beau Mark Sudack doesn't come up to standards...

Finally some compliments for Mariah
Roger Friedman wrote an article today about the lip-synching of Ashlee Simpson at "Saturday Night Live".
He credits most of the young artists as pure creations and karaoke acts.
But, here's what he wrote:
"Let's put it this way: In the last five years, though they've often been present, I've never heard Britney Spears or Jennifer Lopez even so much as hum out loud without a full stage set-up, dancers swirling about and lots of back-up singers.
But I have been lucky enough to see Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Alicia Keys, Julia Fordham, Joss Stone, Carla Thomas, Ann Peebles, Natalie Cole, Mary Wilson, Cher, Cyndi Lauper, Valerie Simpson of Ashford and Simpson fame (no relation to Jessica and Ashlee) and many others rise to the occasion without a tape or a computer disk in sight.
So here's a reality show guaranteed to get ratings: All of today's pop stars "unplugged," with just a microphone and an accompanist. We'll do a "sing-off" and see who really has the pipes and who has been faking it."
Read the entire article here.
Heroes comment: Thanks Roger, this time, I totally agree with you .

Nore talk about his new album
Roc-A-Fella news Noreaga’s latest album One Fan a Day will land in stores December 21, just in time for the Christmas holiday.
Noreaga, one half of the Queens duo Capone N Noreaga (CNN) and newly signed Roc-A-Fella artist, is enjoying the success of the hit single "Oye Mi Canto,” featuring Nina Sky, Daddy Yankee, GemStar and Big Mato.
Noreaga said he discovered the new sound by chance, at an all-Spanish club in New York.
"I discovered this music called Reggaeton that actually represented the young, inner-city Latino,” Nore revealed. “It's not Merengue, it's not Salsa, you can be sexy and still be [and] gangsta with it. I figured I saw all my Latinos doing it, and I'm Latino as well, so I'm gonna represent for Reggaeton.”
The Rap/Reggaeton hybrid has been embraced by pop radio and proof can be measured by the impact the single has had at radio. It has enjoyed thousands of spins nationwide and is #8 on Billboard's Rap singles chart and #16 on the Hot 100 singles chart.
While the single has yet to impact that Latin singles chart, Nore remained optimistic about the new sound.
"Reggaeton is going to be around for a long time,” Nore predicted. “It's gonna be as big as dancehall is, for sure. And when Reggaeton becomes bilingual, that's when it will be as big as Hip-Hop is. It's the future."
One Fan a Day features production from Timbaland, The Neptunes, Green Lantern and newcomer SPK, as well as guest appearances from Mariah Carey, Kanye West, Beanie Sigel, David Banner, Lil' Scrappy and an unreleased verse from Big Pun.

Free Speech or Free Exploitation
It is patently unfair that The Hilltop cloaks its support for Eminem's "expression" in Michael Jackson's status as a public figure, ignoring Eminem's same status. Presumably, if one public figure can criticize another, the latter can rightly recriminate. How can this label conveniently work so unilaterally? 
Also worth noting is that Jackson is not yet a "public" criminal. Exactly what is Eminem trying to express, defamation? I am a strong artistic expression advocate, but do not quite subscribe to the apparent notion that suggesting unproven criminality on film, as well as using evidentiary imagery from a pending case, merits a valid form. 
The hypocrisy therein displayed casts doubt on all Eminem's hard-core gangster beefs with thugs like Mariah Carey, Britney Spears, Will Smith, Moby, Justin Timberlake, N' Sync, Christina Aguilera and those fearsome Backstreet Boys (I suppose it would be unwise to suspect that Suge Knight be next). 
If Eminem is so resistant to his own criticism, yet so willing to unleash it on others, perhaps artistic expression is not his motive. Perhaps it's just a massive, desperate gimmick to rivet public attention and sell records, much like a series of cartoonish songs and attendant videos that suit playing dress-up and donning drag without fail. Maybe not.

As we already reported it on September the 4th. and October the 14th., Jay-Z could be named president of Def Jam . We discussed it already in our forum and more infos were posted in our HipHop,Rap,RnB crib
Today, here are some more infos.
Jay-Z drink challenges Dash
The long and profitable partnership between Jay-Z and Damon Dash is about to crash and burn. 
When it was announced this past summer that Jay-Z was ending his involvement in Roc-A-Fella Records and the Rocawear clothing line, there were whispers of a strained relationship. Now Jay-Z is about to take the next step by going into business on his own with a brand of booze to compete against Dash's Armandale vodka. 
"Jay is about to launch his own line of cognac with Grey Goose," said our source. "This seems innocuous, but it is his first real venture without Damon. He does not want Damon to be a part of it." 
Jay-Z's cognac will have some competition from Roc-A-Fella rapper Cam'ron, who told Women's Wear Daily he's also launching a cognac: "It's called Sizzurp. You know, like, syrup with an izzurp." It is not known whether Dash is partners with Cam'ron in the hip-hop hooch.
The relationship between Jay-Z and Dash will be strained further in the next "seven to 10 days," music industry sources say, when Jay-Z is named president of Def Jam — which effectively will make him Dash's boss. 
"This is going to be an issue," the source said. "Damon and Jay were always partners — equals. Now, Jay has the final say." 
Jay-Z is apparently taking center stage because "he is tired of Damon piggybacking off of him. Damon used his name and his talent to become famous." 
Indeed, another inside source says that when Roc-A-Fella first started, Dash hired a personal publicist with the directive: "Make me famous." Dash would attend events and make sure he was in every photo with Jay-Z. 
While Jay-Z was "very patient for a long time," one source said, "he has lost his patience now. He wants to let go." 
Since the two have split, Dash tried but failed to launch Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham in her comeback bid. The album barely made the charts in England and was non-existent on our shores.
Dash's rep, Amanda Silverman, challenged the idea that Dash will be working for Jay-Z. "Def Jam and Roc have a 50/50 joint venture. No one will be anyone's boss," she said. As for their deteriorating relationship? "They started a business together and they hope each other's deals go really well. There is no animosity." 
Jay-Z's rep didn't return calls

Vote or Die
Le festival de musique CMJ, qui attire des groupes alternatifs des quatre coins du globe, bat son plein dans un New York en pleine campagne électorale. Étrangement, les rues de la Grosse Pomme n'ont rien d'une exposition de clichés de Kerry ou de Bush. Les affiches électorales qui parsèment la ville mettent plutôt en vedette les Usher, 50 Cent, Mariah Carey et Mary J. Blige, vêtus de chandails arborant le slogan Vote or Die, nom de la campagne orchestrée par Puff Daddy visant à faire sortir le vote chez les jeunes électeurs.

Celebrating 30 years of Hello Kitty 
Whoever said you can't be everything to everyone clearly never said it to Hello Kitty.
As the cute little kitty with the bow on her ear turns 30, she is everywhere, all the time, in every style or setting imaginable.
Hello Kitty is a pencil, a computer, a toaster. She is a Happy Meal toy, a taxicab in Japan, and a theme park there, too.
Even celebrities sport the cute cat. There are Paris and Nicky Hilton, Cameron Diaz, Mariah Carey, Sarah Jessica Parker, Gwen Stefani and on and on, wearing Hello Kitty T-shirts and jewelry, making Hello Kitty waffles and toast.

Mariah scheduled for some show in Las Vegas?
In the October 25th. issue of The National Enquirer you can read the following article:
"Mariah Carey's huddling in hush-hush talks with execs at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas, Who are betting big buck$$ that the voluptuous thrush will entice roaring crowds back to the still empty theater that once rang with the roars of Siegfried & Roy's jungle cats! A-list acts are jockeying for the job, but insiders say Mariah's a shoo-in!"
Thanks to McboyAz for the info.
Also, Scarleth heard yesterday on the radio "92.3" in CA, that Mariah might be planning a performance at the Mirage in Las Vegas.
Two sources from two different medias are probably more than a rumor.  But..... as usual wait and see.
You can from time to time take a little look at the Mirage's site, just in case .

Finally, Mariah recognized as a pioneer
Five or ten years ago it was a rarity for an R&B singer to feature a hip-hop artist on a single--especially when the single was not a remix. Mariah Carey has to be given a lot of credit for merging the R&B and Hip-Hop genres. Mariah set off her 1995 single "Fantasy" by putting ODB on the track. Mariah went on to feature artists such as Jay-Z, P. Diddy, and Mase on singles.
Years later, merging hip-hop and R&B is commonplace and some of the artist out of the Dirty South are calling their new sound Crunk nB. Usher's "Yeah" is considered the first Crunk N'B single and Ciara's "Goodies" is considered the first female Crunk N B single. Nivea and Ciara are both back with new singles that feature hip-hop/rap artists. Nivea's new single "Okay" features Lil Jon and the Youngbloodz and Ciara's new single "1-2 Step" features Missy Elliott.

Mariah and Patti Labelle at Usher's Birthday party at the Rainbow

Usher-ing out the execs
Usher had a ton of fun at his 1920s-theme birthday party Sunday night - unlike some record-industry execs.
As a 16-piece band played, the 26-year-old R&B star could be found on the Rainbow Room dance floor, where he, Sean (P. Diddy) Combs, Jay-Z and Jermaine Dupri (looking like successful bootleggers) surrounded their "moll," Mariah Carey, as she did some flapper moves.
Some Josephine Baker-style dancers with pasties on their chests and bananas on their hips were also there to keep the joint jumping. Savion Glover tap-danced. Patti LaBelle sang "Happy Birthday." And Usher, sporting his new $40,000 Audemars Piguet watch, always seemed to have a glass full of Moet Nectar Rosé. 
Naomi Campbell's NC Connect organized the retro evening. Despite some problems with seating, our spies say Usher showed his gratitude to the supermodel by buying her a big ring at Fred Leighton. But, knocking down rumors of romance, a witness says: "They didn't seem to be a couple."
Also there were Denzel Washington, Donald Trump and Melania Knauss, Steve Stoute and Penny Marshall. 
Insiders say Warner Music chairman Lyor Cohen was disinvited at the last minute. That might have had something to do with co-host L.A. Reid, who replaced Cohen as chairman of Island Def Jam. (The other co-hosts were BMG North America CEO Clive Davis and Zomba Records chairman Barry Weiss.)
Making the briefest of appearances was Tommy Mottola, the former Sony Music chief who has been co-managing Usher with the singer's mother, Jonnetta Patton. Patton is said to want to Mottola off the team, but nobody is commenting.

Who can save Tommy Mottola? Here's an extract from an article published by Roger Friedman
"Life after being king is never easy. Former Sony Music chief Tommy Mottola is finding that out right now. On Friday, R&B sensation Usher dumped Mottola as his manager. Reportedly Usher's mother, who was co-managing her son, did not see eye to eye with Mottola on how best to navigate this burgeoning career.
Mottola couldn't have been too surprised, though. Of the nine producers listed for Usher's next movie project at Dimension/Miramax Films, his does not appear. Artist's managers usually get a credit somewhere on their clients' movies. Usher's mother, Jonnetta Patton, for example, is listed as a producer.
For Mottola, who once ruled the world as Mariah Carey's husband and head of Sony, the Usher news was the latest in a series of disappointments. His other job, which was supposed to be reviving Casablanca Records at Universal Music Group, has not produced much success."

Where’s The Beef: Infamous Hip Hop Battles
50 Cent vs. Ja Rule
Things really got hot with this one. 50 called out Ja for being a fake and wimp, calling him gay, soft and everything a rapper doesn’t wanna see in print next to their name. Ja dedicated a whole album to fighting back (Blood in My Eye)…. To bad it stiffed. 50 did the same and it went multi-platinum. Ja took aim via a slew of mixtape disses. However, 50 and his entire G-Unit crew did the same, and the sheer different in numbers made G-G-G-Unit the winners with tracks likje “Hail Mary,” and a slew of freestyles. Plus, it’s hard to fight back about being a fake gangsta when your singing love songs with Mariah Carey.

Jermaine Dupri about Mariah
Here's a quick Mariah Mention in the latest edition of the U.K Blues & Soul magazine from their interview with Jermaine Dupri:
Who have been your favourite Artists over the years?
"People that have taught me things like Usher, Jay-Z and Mariah Carey. All the people I've named I've learned a little something from. So I take that on board and learn and pass it on when I'm in the studio to teach younger, inxeperienced artists. All the established artists I've learned a lot from but those three in particular."

Mariah on Extra last evening
They basicly informed viewers about the new song, and showed a sort videoclip of the U Make Me Wanna video. Mariah was in sitting in the middle of a big group of people, singing. She had the black dress that we saw her wear at the nightclub, most likely where it was shot.
Then they also had an interview with Benny, and let me tell you it was a great piece. He was telling everyone how Mariah is a living star, that she's been working on her new album and also that she has been reading scripts and even taking acting lessons. Although he didn't reveal much, Benny did an excellent job, giving Mariah a very positive spin.
Then the reporter from Extra said that Mariah is getting ready to star in her own sitcom, and that they will surely give us more updates when more news about it is available.

Where's 'U Make Me Wanna' this week in the US?
The answer is that it is #54 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart and one notch higher on the corresponding R&B airplay chart. It has now surpassed Mariah's previous R&B entry, "What Would You Do". So what will it take for this song to make the Hot 100? Well as of now the song is only getting R&B airplay and not enough to even bubble under the Hot 100. It could begin to bubble under next week. 
Unlike previous weeks though this isn't the only Mariah single charting. As you might have guessed by now Mariah's other appearance is once again from "Through the Rain" which reenters the Hot Dance Singles Sales chart at #24 in its 70th week.

My deepest sympathy to Mariah
Mariah Seen in Chicago

Frank Jeffery sent in an email, recounting his meeting with Mariah at the O’Hare Airport in Chicago last night, October 12th. Here’s what Frank wrote:
A friend of mine who must remain anonymous tipped me off that Mariah was arriving with her manager, personal assistant, and body guard at Chicago's O’Hare airport Tuesday night. I was the only fan waiting for her as she exited the escalator leaving the arrival gate. 
When she was comfortably paused, I approached her. She was very cool with me as she filled my request for an autograph and picture. This was my second time meeting Mariah (first at Harpo studio's Oprah Show pre-tape rehearsal for the "Heartbreaker" performance with DaBrat and Missy). I asked her if she would remember the instance of us meeting but cut my story short and concluded "of course you don't remember me....", she giggled.  She said "the new stuff will be out soon", I then told her I've been a fan since I saw her on 'Apollo' fourteen years ago. She then said "well don't say that too loud... we don't want anyone knowin' about no fourteen years ago" then snickered.
There was a limo for Mariah and her manager, etc., and an S.U.V. just for her luggage! I asked if she was in town on business and she said that a close family member had passed away. I later learned that her Grandmother has passed on and she was in fact here for that reason. My condolences to Mariah and her family.

Tidbits from Sammy
Sammy is the fan who met Trey on Labor Day, here's what he wrote on FOMM:
"The songs sounded midtempo in the vein of "The One" or "Breakdown".  At the time I didn't question the title 'cause I coudn't believe Trey Lorenz was standing in front of me singing exclusive tracks.
First off I had to prove that I was a real fan, by quoting obscure tracks and such, then I realized how nice he was and it made me fall back a little and when he sang to me, I melted.  The cutest thing he said before he sang "Stay The Night" was: "ok, now imagine this in a higher pitch."

Some infos about the album
On Labor Day weekend, Sammy from NYC attended a barbecue where Trey Lorenz was also a guest. When he asked Trey about the album, he sang parts of two songs: "Stay the Night" and "If I Should Be Your Girl", which might be the same song "Yur Girl" that everyone has been talking about recently. Trey said that many of the songs are featuring live instrumentals like "Subtle Invitation" and that many of the songs are a similar tempo to "Subtle Invitation" as well. He couldn't say when the album was going to be released, he just said it was up to the label.

Sram Jones' interview: what Blues & Soul Magazine really wrote.
Scram Jones: Renaissance Man
Blues & Soul: "What’s the story behind you working with Mariah Carey on her new album?" 
Scram Jones: "I still don’t believe that. Until I hear the song on the radio, the album’s out and I see some of that Mariah money I still don’t believe that shit (laughs)." 
"I was in Nore’s studio and she walked in with Damon Dash and everybody was just socialising. So I popped in my beat CD and was just jumping through that until something finally caught her ear. After that I had some leverage to call her management and say 'Yo, Mariah liked my beats, let me send you a CD.’ Nore jumped on the track too and in turn she did the chorus for a track on his album with Big Pun that Green Lantern produced. But Mariah’s working with big producers like R. Kelly and Kanye West, so it’s definitely good to be put amongst names like that.' Now we’re just all waiting to see what’s gonna be the single (laughs)."

Williams Desperate To Apologise To Aguilera
British chart-topper Robbie Williams is desperate to make peace with Christina Aguilera after slamming her in his autobiography.
The Rock DJ star made some less that complimentary remarks about the Dirrty singer in his book Feel and now regrets allowing them to be published.
The 30-year-old wrote in his book, "She looks like a cross between someone in a gay club at six in the morning and someone's who's trying to save trees."
Now that he spends most of his time in America, Williams is trying to make amends, "I deeply regret criticising her. I hope a personal letter can mend bridges between us."
Williams may have been bearing a slight grudge against Aguilera at the time of writing because she turned down the opportunity to duet with him.
Aguilera said of the offer, "I find him charming but our styles are too different. It wouldn't work. He should try Mariah Carey - she likes duets."

In this week Room 101 Paul Merton interviewed Ronan Keating. When talking about Ronan Keating's pet peeves, Mariah was mentioned. Ronan said he hated people with large entourages, and one of the examples he used was Mariah & Whitney at the MTV Europe Awards a few years back when they were held in Ireland. He said one demanded a red room & the other a white room to out do each other.
Paul Merton also mentioned that "Mariah doesn't do stairs" and that one of her backstage ryders was that she stroked a kitten before she went on stage.
Ronan Keating himself said that Mariah was probably a nice person, but with the large number of people she had around her, who made her decisions for her, made her look bad. He even went on to say that in some cases her own crew might say that Mariah “wouldn't do that” even before asking Mariah or not telling her at all.

Medina works hard for Mariah
Original American Idol runner-up Justin Guarini has decided to part ways with Benny Medina - because the manager was more focused on taking care of Mariah Carey's needs.
Guarini, who has struggled to stay in the spotlight since losing out to Kelly Clarkson in 2002's first season of the talent contest, had been working with Medina, former manager of Jennifer Lopez, but later decided it was better to part ways.
He says, "Originally Benny and I had tried a bit of a tentative working relationship, but at the end of day it didn't work out.
"He had his priorities, and he's been focusing a lot on Mariah.
"It was one of those mutual things were it was like, 'Look, this isn't quite the right fit,' but we parted amicably."
Guarini, who is now with a consultant group in Washington, DC, adds, "(I'm) currently in negotiations for a new Broadway show. There are also a lot of film and television projects under the pipeline, so there is a lot of cool stuff happening."

Breaking through the color barrier
Today's multiracial teens strike freelance journalist John DiConsiglio, who has interviewed them for a Scholastic Choices article, as comfortable and confident. He credits their acceptance to multiracial celebrities like actor Keanu Reeves, singer Mariah Carey and golf legend Tiger Woods. Climbing interracial marriage rates also come into play, pushing multiracial families to define themselves, grow and become models for society, says Shore.

Who's Scram Jones?
People don't know him very well, sadly he's not that popular in Belgium, except in some selected Hip Hop clubs.
Scram Jones is one of Hip Hop's fastest rising producers (he is best known for producing Terror Squad's smash hit "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Lloyd Banks' "Work Magic" and is currently producing tracks for Xzibit and Mariah Carey's upcoming LP's) and was recently profiled for his production prowess by XXL Magazine.
Scram's uncanny ability to effectively hold down all three elements puts him in a truly elite class, as a lyricist his rhymes are packed with metaphor after metaphor, as he constantly manipulates the English language with intricate rhymes schemes.
His rhymes are so chock full of word play that it's virtually impossible to catch of all his puns with a cursory listen.
But Scram's talents don't end there, as he is also a DJ, but not a mixtape or party DJ, but a turntablist! Scram uses the turntables as an instrument of itself and his combination of futuristic scratches, complex lyricism and powerful production represents a true Hip Hop Evolution in its purest form. Scram Jones is literally a "Hip Hop one man band."
Scram puts all of these talents on display with Loose Cannon's which features guest appearances from Saigon, Havoc, Noreaga, Jim Jones, Cam'Ron, Terror Squad, Sadat X, T.I., Tragedy Khadafi, Jae Millz, Drag-On, Sean Price and Nature. 
For the ones who have the "Whatup 2 Da Hood" album/DVD, you can see him talking and joking with friends, N.O.R.E, Dame Dash and of course Mariah .  You may have noticed that Mariah is not only RnB, Hip Hop, Urban, but also very Ghetto .  If you don't own it yet, you missed a few good Mariah moments .  You can still order it here.

soooooo.....it's a good day today, as U Make Me Wanna is climbing in the US charts, we need to be a little patient, before it hits the Belgian radios and to buy it in stores, as "Why" from Jadakiss still receive a lot of airplay. So, let's be patient .  Anyway, we don't have the choice .
Posted on September the 7th.
U Make Me Wanna airplay 
Audience: 10.134 - Spins: 337 -
" in POP: 6 [Yesterday was the first day that the song got airplay from Pop stations]
" in URBAN: 233
" in RYTHMIC: 98
To debute in Hot 100, a song (without a commercial release, i.e., CD-single, download single, vinyl, etc.) needs, more or less, about 15 million of airplay.
Remember the stations are playing it unofficially since the official debut is 26th October in Urban & Rythmic (no word about POP), so it's about to debut in the Hot 100 in the week of the 26th or the next if things works like now:-)
And the video hasn't debut yet...
AIRPLAY AUDIENCE BY WEEK:
15/9: 5.32
22/9: 5.957
29/9: 7.442
6/10: 10.134

Important: Regarding the Death of a Dynasty DVD
There's something strange with the Death of a Dynasty DVD, if you didn't already order it, wait a few days, until this mystery is solved.
Camaroprincess24 received the DVD yesterday and watched it last night, and... Mariah doesn't appear in the movie, also not only Mariah disappeared but a lot of the cameo appearances too.
There are several possibilities:
- The fan missed Mariah (which is almost impossible).
- IMDB messed up almost the entire cast credit (wich is almost impossible too).
- There has been legal issues with the record companies of the celebrities featured in the movie for the DVD release (which is possible).
- IF there has been legal issues, then the UK distributor of the DVD (ILC Prime) messed up by forgetting to sent the infos to the stores and on-line stores (which is possible too).
- And certainly others I can't think to right now.
I'll keep you updated if I have some new infos about that mystery.

Fans thoughts about the meaning of  "Yur" in "Yur Girl"
Here's what Donnie sent me:
"I just think it's something similar to how Christina Aguilera put "Dirrty" and Nelly put "Hot in Herre" and how people say "dont be scurred" instead of "dont be scared" lol  I just think it's the Pop/RnB/Hip-Hop vernacular of the moment."
Here's what tryfoundme posted on FOMM:
"Yur is an abbreviation for Yurok. Mariah may be exploring this dying dialect by telling the story of a Yur girl!
Yurok: a language of USA - Population: 10 or fewer speakers out of a possible 3,000 to 4,500 population. - Region:Northwestern California. - Classification: Algic, Yurok. - Comments: Bilingualism in English. Few if any full bloods younger than 20 years old. Nearly extinct. - Source: here."

The meaning of  "Yur" in "Yur Girl"
Some of you e-mailed me , asking if "Yur", the way it's written in this new track was a mistake or another way to write "Your" or "You're", which if you ask me guys, makes no sense.  I'm not really an expert in Rap/Urban vocabulary, but as I'm more and more involved in this kind of music, I know it means either, "yes" or "sup" in the Urban world.
But hey, I have no proof that "Yur" has this meaning on this track. It's just my thoughts .

Vote or Die
A week in I receive a letter from Harold Bloom and another letter from Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, which is how he signs it, is a week to remember. 
Sean (I will not call a grown man P. Diddy!) wanted to tell me today how passionate he is about the coming presidential election and the fact that while 42 million youngsters of voting age represent 25 percent of the voting population, only half of these were registered to vote in 2000. This accounts for Sean's new motto, "Vote or Die!" 
So a salute to Sean Combs, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx, Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, Ellen DeGeneres, Ashton Kutcher and their fellow performers in the Citizen Change campaign. Register to vote! Your country needs you to participate.

Mariah on "Street Movement" benefit album.
Before I explain the details, you need to know if you are among the ones who download instead of buying, you will not only steal the artists work and time, but this time, you will also steal a charity and the future of the young people who put their hopes in this program.
Jim Brown’s charity, Amer-I-Can, is an human development program designed to help anyone regardless of race, age, religion, gender or socio-economic conditions. It allows individuals to experience success by equipping them with the tools to overcome obstacles and achieve full potential.
Now that you know this, I'll give you the infos:
"Street Movement" will normally be available in January 2005. CD Universe listed it for an October the 26th. release, but don't pre-order it yet as they didn't updated the new date, this album will also be sold in some retail stores across the US.  The album will feature Mariah Carey, Nate Dogg, Kurupt, Snoop Dogg, Jayo Felony, among others.  Damizza helped Jim Brown and his Amer-I-Can program by adding his concepts and ideas and help save lives and educate many children.  At this moment, we may not reveal the tracklist, but in any case, it's a good charity to support .

Only The Best For Diva Mariah

Every self-respecting diva needs her expensive accessories and soul diva Mariah Carey is of course no exception. And when it comes to accessories, there can be few items more luxurious and expensive than Ms Carey's latest purchase, the new Maybach limo from Mercedes Benz. The car, which boasts a DVD player, two flat screens, a refrigerator and automatic climate control, would have cost the singer approximately $380,000, although optional features including solar panels cost extra. The car is so exclusive that potential purchasers have to wait to be approached by Mercedes and invited to purchase the car.
With a price ticket that bars all but the super-rich, it’s not surprising to hear that Carey's not the only superstar entertainer said to have taken delivery of this exclusive vehicle. Madonna and Arnold Schwazernegger are among other star names said to have purchased Maybachs, while Jennifer Lopez reportedly gave one to new husband, Latino crooner Marc Anthony as a birthday present. 
With such luxurious features the car should meet every diva's needs though Carey, who has been known to stop traffic in order to reapply her make-up before a show, is reported to have found the vanity mirrors a little small for her requirements. 
Still with such an expensive purchase, even a multi-million dollar diva may need to bring in a little cash.  So it's just as well that we can report Mariah is keeping busy. She reportedly picked up her new toy in LA, having travelled there to film the video for her next smash hit. The track, U Make Me Wanna, is a duet with rapper Jadakiss, taken from his US No.1 album Kiss Of Death. No doubt the superstar paring will be hoping the slow jam, which apparently has a suitably sexy video, will emulate last year's summer smash Carey duet, I Know What You Want, with Busta Rhymes. 
Clearly a lady who likes to keep busy, Carey, who has almost completed work on her next album, is apparently venturing into the world of acting again. Having redeemed herself after less than credible reviews for film debut Glitter, with a critically acclaimed appearance in mobster drama Wisegirls, Carey is reportedly in talks to launch her own US sitcom. Described by studio bosses as very 'funny' Carey is said to be on the lookout for a British man to costar after saying how much she enjoys the British sense of humour.  Let's hope they like hers.

The dumbness of some people is out of limit
It's been a while ago that a fan made a so called instrumental version of "Stay The Night".  He posted it first on FOMM (if Kinou remember it correctly it was Dom ), then a fan site posted it, then another messageboard and so on.  Now, another fan site posted it as an official promo track.  I didn't listened to it, as I never download commercial stuffs or stuffs from an upcoming single or album, but I have been told it's the same track which was made up by the fan on FOMM and suddenly became an instrumental promo on a fan site a week later.  When will we see this very rare promo on eBay? .  Yes, the dumbness of some people is out of limit .
