Congrats to Usher and Tameka! They welcomed a brand new baby boy yesterday in Atlanta.
"Usher and his wife, Tameka Foster, welcomed a baby boy at 9:55 p.m. Monday night, a representative for the singer has confirmed to MTV News. The baby weighed 7 pounds and 9 ounces and has been named Usher Raymond V.
Usher said in a statement released Wednesday (November 28), "We are so happy and proud of our beautiful son. What a blessing!"
Usher was with his wife and new son Tuesday at an Atlanta hospital, and the family is expected to head home on Wednesday, according to People.com."
So, I was browsing the web...stumbled on SNICKA.com, when I noticed something that surprised me--shocked, actually: a picture of Jay-Z, the "untouchable", Mr.Big Pimpin' sporting a hot pink hoodie at a recent concert. :straight face:
"American Gangster" and Beyonce's boo, Jay-Z is on the latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine. He looks ok on the cover... Also, be sure to check out Jigga in the new issue of BLENDER.
As you all have heard, hip-hop superstar Kanye West's mother passed last Saturday, November 10 at the age of 58 years-old due to a malfunction during a cosmetic procedure.

I know that there's a lot of fingers being pointed at the hip-hip community right now for various reasons. However, I was kind of surprised to hear that a Christian group out of the UK called out gangsta rapper 50 Cent "satanic", and demanded his retirement from rapping.
"London, Nov 8 - The Resistance, a Christian group, is asking rapper 50 Cent to retire because he is 'satanic'.
The group, which doesn't agree with the rapper's lifestyle and his lyrics, wants him to quit because he had said that he would do so himself if Kanye West's album 'Graduation' beat his album 'Curtis' on the album charts, contactmusic.com reports. The group is urging people to send requests to 50 Cent's MySpace.com asking him to quit music.
Mark Dice, group's spokesperson, said: 'It is time for 50 Cent to be a man of his word, and retire. The world will be a better place when this satanic piece of filth retires and stops making music."

I was really rooting for Britney Spears to come in at #1 on the Billboard's Hot 100 albums chart, but unfortunately, legendary band The Eagles beat her out, landing the top spot. Do you think she deserved second place?
