The Daily Roundup for Mar 9



NEW Aaliyah CD coming Soon?
New Aaliyah Album To Be Released This Year, According to Producer
Aaliyah has been gone from the music industry for over a decade, but there’s been talks of a new album coming our way from the princess.
Jeffrey “J DUB” Walker is the producer on Aaliyah’s leaked track “Steady Ground’ that’s been circulating the internet for the past few days, and apparently there were previous lost vocals that have now been restored and will appear on a new album from the 90′s diva. He tweeted (though the tweet has since been removed).
“Just got great news today; the smash unreleased song called “Steady Ground” I produced on Aaliyah is gonna be on her upcoming album:)”
This is some of the first we’ve heard about this “new” album from the late singer, and there’s really no other word on whether or not Missy Elliott and/or Timbaland will be making their own respective appearances on the former versions of the music– and who knows, perhaps Drake will be featured on something and have his own sort of “collaboration” with the gorgeous R&B singer. Aslo here is a footnote her family has said they have NOTHING to do or give their blessings to this project!

Baby, Nipsy Hussle knows how to bring folks to a Party!
Arizona Nightclub Shooting: Gunfire at Nipsey Hussle Concert Leaves 13 Injured
An evening at a Tempe, Arizona nightclub turned into horror for thirteen people, who were shot in the parking lot of the popular music venue late Friday, according to local police.
Tempe Police spokesman Sergeant Steve Carbajal said officers responded to reports of shots fired at the Clubhouse Music Venue at 11:30pm local time.
Rapper Nippsy Hustle was scheduled to appear at the club, according to the venue’s web site. Local television news reported that gunfire erupted outside the club shortly before Hustle took to the stage.
“People stampeded over security. Not what I expected to be doing on a Friday night — dodging bullets,” said Paul Butler, who witnessed the shooting.
Authorities said that while there were no fatalities as of Saturday morning, at least two of the injured were in a serious condition in hospital, while the others were being treated for less severe injuries.
“People have reported that after the shooting, two black males wearing dark colored clothing fled the scene on foot,” Carbajal said. “Those individuals have not been located at this time.”
Carbajal didn’t have immediate details on the cause of the shooting, or on whether both of the men are suspected of firing weapons, or the type of guns used.
Reuters reports that cellphone video of the shooting aftermath taken by a concert goer showed a man taking off his t-shirt to use as a tourniquet on a shooting victim.

Hussle released a statement regarding the incident via his tumblr page:
“My deepest thoughts and sympathies go out to the victims and their families who were affected by the tragic event that took place last night in Arizona, and I pray for the speedy recovery for anyone involved.
Contrary to current media reports, it’s important note that these shootings did NOT happen inside a venue, concert, or show in which I was booked to perform, and at the time of the incident, I was in my hotel room.


I grew up on the streets of south central Los Angeles and have witnessed many tragedies in my lifetime. I never glorify any situation like this and think it is disgusting. Any fan of my music knows that I strongly oppose gun violence, and that I represent nothing but peace and progress through hard work… that anyone can overcome adversity no matter what your social status in life, which is clearly addressed on my latest release, “The Marathon Continues.”

Many people will wrongfully attribute this incident to the hip-hop culture, which is purely and simply false. The alleged shooters were not ticket holders for my performance. Regardless, this incident is a tragic reminder of the circumstances that face our community every day, and my heart and prayers go out to the victims of this, and all the other senseless acts of violence occurring every day in our communities.
- Nipsey”
Allhiphop reports the shooting may have been in retaliation for the unsolved 2007 slaying of Deron Gibson, 19, who was killed in front of the same club.
Jones is being held in lieu of $1 million dollars bail. Nipsey Hussle and a number of other popular rap artists have claimed allegiance to the either the Crips or the Bloods.
Rappers like Snoop Dogg, MC Eiht, Daz and Kurupt have all claimed to be Crips at one point or another.
Chart topping artists like Lil Wayne, Gucci Mane, DJ Quik and Game have all admitted to their affiliation with various sects of the Bloods street gang.

Kim Kardahsian and the Ever amazing BALD SPOT!
She is rarely seen without a perfectly manicured fingernail, flawlessly made-up face or a hair out of place.
But Kim Kardashian shocked onlookers at Charles De Gaulle airport when she arrived for Paris Fashion Week sporting a large bald spot.
The perennially groomed 31-year-old reality star was seen with a thinning patch at the side of her head.
Kim, who is known for shelling out thousands for her long brown hair extensions, appears to be paying a high price for her hair styling regime.
 Naomi Campbell, Alexandra Burke and Tamara Beckwith have all suffered from hair loss as a result of over-tight extensions and weaves - and just general hair abuse.
Trichologists say that quite often with celebrity hair thinning or loss nowadays, hair extensions are to blame.
The traction caused by wearing the hair pieces over long periods of time weakens the hair - which then isn't helped by chemical and heat treatments like dyes and straighteners.

Kim also appeared to be suffering from a bit of bed head as she waited for her luggage at the carousel, with tufts of her hair sticking up at the top of her mane.
Her make-up was slightly duller than normal and she was spotted itching her nose.
Kim did however look casual and cool in her arrival outfit.
The single star slipped her voluptuous figure into a pair of washout black denim jeans, a knitted sweater and a leather biker jacket.
Rather than opting to arrive in comfort, she once again tottered around in a pair of sky-high stilettos as she made her way through the terminal.

Kelly, labeled as the host of the event, stepped on stage and sing a small part from his classic single, “Bump n’ Grind.” However, Fantasia took offense and when the Charlotte native took the stage, told the crowd, “I come to give you your money’s worth.

What's wrong with The Game? He was recently caught spitting on some fans at the Bourbon Bar nightclub in Australia over the weekend. And then his crew groping a chick on stage at another concert stop overseas.
Well, a group of girls were trying to get his attention and when he approached the girls, he spit towards them.
Brydie McCreadie, 19, who filmed the video said,
"I was like, 'whoa'. At first I wasn't sure if he was spitting at me. He was sitting there drinking. We were all a bit drunk. I think they were just excited to see him."
She then said he took off his gold chain. "I think he was about to start a fight or look tough," Brydie said.


Peep the vid: 

Now, video has emerged of Game urging an unwilling female fan to show her breasts at a show in Adelaide before his friends grope her and eventually push her off stage.

VIDEO: 

Yes, some folks will ask why she put herself in the lion's den in the first place. But there's really no excuse for this. Whether she's black, white, or whatever...Need his ass whooped for that!

Inside RHOA's Marlo Hampton's POSH Birthday Dinner
"Real Housewives of Atlanta" co-star Marlo Hampton celebrated her birthday in the ATL with a posh dinner party. Chick may be certifiable on many-a-levels, but Marlo loves a posh party doesn't she? And she's looking great. The newest fashion loving friend of the ATL Housewives was in Europe last month for her actual birthday. So her good friend, interior designer Michel Boyd, hosted a fete in her honor at his luxe home. And the sweeties over at The ybf got some pics to share.
The sequined pants and SEX Louboutin pump wearing chick kicked it with her host Michel (above) and with friends like Lawrence Washington.
Looks like her sponsor hooked her up for her b-day with a fabulous all black and silver look for her big night. Her bestie NeNe must have been busy with work because we can't imagine why she would miss this otherwise. 
Marlo told Uptown magazine recently about her controversial friendship with Ms. Leakes saying "Team Smalls" was trying too hard to keep her away from NeNe:
I am only really close with NeNe, and I am cool with Cynthia. We don’t talk outside of NeNe. There are no hard feelings. At the end of the day, I don’t know them. I am going to kill them with kindness. In the beginning, I was hanging with the other girls and they were talking about NeNe so much. Me being Marlo, I think it is crazy how these women, excluding Cynthia, were talking about that one person. I said I was going to meet her myself. After I met NeNe we hit it off. We made some unhappy campers. They were praying that it didn’t work. We are both real and confident. When I am with NeNe, I have a great time. Whatever is on her mind she is going to tell me. NeNe has been honest and a friend to me. It was nothing like what I heard.
Marlo copped gifts from her friends and the dinner party enjoyed a gourmet dinner:
 
And the champagne filled decor:

Well isn't that special.
Happy birthday Marlo!

Thankfully, The Return of Maia Campbell
Actress Maia Campbell has had a rough couple of years but it seems things are getting better for the former child star. Maia seems to have regrouped and was recently spotted in a California Mall with her young daughter by her side.
Campbell, the daughter of late novelist Bebe Moore Campbell and former co-star of the television series “In The House,” became an internet sensation after she was caught on tape by an LA rapper who claimed she asked for crack cocaine in lieu of payment for appearing in his music video.
After the video went viral, it was soon revealed that the actress was suffering from mental illness in addition to her drug use.


Video: 

Maia has been speaking out lately and she stopped for a moment to discuss her new projects.
In a video interview with Get Noticed Media, Maia discussed her plans to release a book that she wrote based on her life titled, ‘Sagittarius.’ She also expressed her desire for Tyler Perry to direct a film based on her mother’s book ’72 Hour Hold’ and her new single, ‘Make em say oh,’ which is available on itunes.
Maia lost her mother in 2006 and recently lost her father as well, but she remains strong for her daughter. She wants everyone that was rooting for her to know that she’s on the road to recovery and she thanks well-wishers for their prayers.
‘I know the last time everyone saw me, I was way out there on the other stretch of the road. I got myself together, I’ve been sober for two years and I’ve been stable and very [aware] of how this industry works.
I’ve been in this industry since I was a little girl so I’m a professional. I am very able to jump back into these waters and swim deep and get it in. So let’s get it poppin’
I’m personally very happy that Maia is making her way back from the depths of addiction.

Nas Back With A Vengeance On New Album
Word has it; Nas is in rare form as he works on crafting his tenth solo LP, Life Is Good. According to Grammy nominated production duo Da Internz—Marcos “Kosine On Da Beat” Palacios and Ernest “Tuo” Clark—who have been entrenched in the studio with the “Nasty” rapper, it is a sight to see. The beat making team, who has crafted hits for Rihanna (“Birthday Cake Remix”) and Big Sean (“Dance (A$$)”), recently sat down with RapUpTV and talked about working with the Queensbridge rap legend on what will be is final album on Def Jam Records.

Despite being a legend in the game, the production duo says the Illmatic one is as humble as a new jack in the studio. “Nas is so cool, he's so down-to-earth, and he's so about allowing us to do our job as producers and let us put our vision on it,” said Kosine. “It's been a dream come true.”

When it comes to material, the track makers believe Mr. Jones is as hungry as ever, and said his bars are reminiscent of his early works. “This Nas album is not the Nas that is like, this is cool, this is cute,” added Tuo. “This is the Nas like really, ‘I'm trying to tear the skin off your face.' He's not playing around. Nas is taking you back to the lyrics and concepts like, It Was Written.”
