LADY GAGA "BORN THIS WAY" ALBUM IDEAS IMPRESSED BEYONCE
Lady Gaga announced her new album title "Born This Way" this past week on the MTV Video Music Awards. She even gave us a preview of the song "Born This Way" which I can tell is already a smash. Lady Gaga sat down for a interview with RWD Magazine to talk about the new album and it seems even Beyonce aka Honey Bee was impressed with the ideas she came up with. Check below for quotes from the interview.
"The album is my absolute greatest work I’ve ever done and I’m so excited about it," she told RWD Magazine.
"The message, the melodies, the direction, the meaning, what it will mean to my fans and what it will mean in my own life - it’s utter liberation.
"I knew I had an ability to change the world when I started to receive letters from fans: ‘You saved my life...’ ‘I’m gay and my parents threw me out...’
"My fans have related to me as a human being and as a non-human being - as a super-human person that I truly am."
The 'Alejandro' star also said that she is not arrogant, insisting that music is the only thing she feels confident about.
She continued: "Everyone tells me I’m arrogant but my music’s the only thing I’ve got, so you’ll have to let me be confident about one thing. I suppose that’s what you can expect from the album: a lot of hit records that will piss people off.
"BeyoncĂ© said: ‘Where the f**k do you get these ideas from?’ And I was like: ‘I don’t know Bee, it was just the way I was born'."

CHRIS BROWN ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM TITLE
Chris Brown has announced his upcoming 4th studio album. The title is "F.A.M.E" which stands for "Forgiving All My Enemies". The first single of the new LP is "Yeah 3x" which will serve as his pop single and there will be another single released soon for the urban market. I wonder if the album being titled "F.A.M.E" is like some sort of subliminal message. Thoughts?! S/O THATGRAPEJUICE

TWITTER REPORT: WALE SAYS KID CUDI GOT A COCAINE BATTERY IN HIS BACK
Kid Cudi and Wale now have a small beef since the interview from Complex magazine has leaked. Kid Cudi made a few remarks about Wale being a wack rapper in his cover story with Complex Magazine that hit the blogs along with his cover. Now the hip hop community is waiting to see how this one will unfold. I thought these two were cool at one point. I guess it was not too smart of Kid Cudi to throw shots after talking about his cocaine addiction. Check below for the comments from Kid Cudi Complex Magazine cover story. S/O MeetThaDealer
You’re big on not having your music compared to anyone else’s.
Kid Cudi: Did you see that Wale interview that he just did, comparing us to sports? Let me clear this up: I’m incomparable to anybody. I don’t care how people take that. No one can compete with me. I’m unfuckwittable; no one can knock me off my shit. I’m an unstoppable force, I’m a bullet. My trajectory is to the sky. Niggas got to do something really spectacular to fuck with me and my realm, and niggas be so bitter that you hear it in their voice.
Speaking of Wale, when you hit that fan at your show last December, he came out with a line about it ["Throwin' 'round wallets like the dude that Kid Cudi hit," from "Thank You Freestyle"].
Kid Cudi: It wasn’t a shot, it’s just a simple-ass rhyme by a simple-ass rapper. You can’t let that shit faze you. That’s one of those raps that just shows the world that you wack. Why would you even use that as a metaphor? Everybody think they Hov. Niggas ain’t got the magic like they think they do; there’s only a couple of wizards in this game. I’m a wizard and I know it.
How heavy did the drug use get?
Kid Cudi: I started doing cocaine to get through interviews, ’cause people wanted to know a lot about my personal life and I wasn’t prepared for a 60 Minutes interview every time. Doing bumps I was able to get through the day, but then I would smoke weed to calm me down—it was the only way I could get through the day without people noticing I was doing it.
LINDSAY LOHAN FAILS DRUG TEST
I guess Lindsay Lohan did not learn her lesson and turn her life around. The young actress has failed her drug test in her criminal case. According to TMZ. The court-mandated drug test in question occurred last week. According to the terms of Lindsay's probation, she will get 30 days in jail for a positive drug test.
One source connected with Lindsay tells TMZ ... "People with addiction problems don't get better magically, and she's really been making an effort to make herself better."

RIHANNA "WHO'S THAT CHICK" (MUSIC VIDEO)
New music video from Rihanna "Who's That Chick". I know right this music video is mad random. As I stated before looks like Rihanna is going totally pop with this "LOUD" album. I think this will be good because she will be on her fun shit this time around and not so dark all the time. Rihanna spent the first half of single from "Rated R" being dark and then she put the fun singles out at the end which those seem to do better on the charts. Check the "Who's That Chick" music video out and let us know what you think.

NEW MUSIC: CAM'RON & JIM JONES "TOAST" JAY-Z & KANYE DISS (LISTEN & DOWNLOAD)
Jim Jones and Cam'ron Toast Freestyle
New music from Dipset Cam'ron and Jim Jones "Toast" freestyle. Basically Cam and JimJones took the beat to Kanye West "Runaway" featuring Pusha T which he performed on the MTV Video Music Awards this past Sunday. The made their own version and threw a few jabs in at Jay-Z and Kanye West due to the fact that Dame Dash is fam. This is the mp3 to the video of the track Cam and Jim were in the studio making I posted earlier today. I personally feel this is a cry for attention for the Dipset reunion. Cam'ron is dropping dope music right now so I do not see the need for this on his part but we all know Jim Jones is lacking in the music area and needs a major. This sounds like the work of Jim Jones if you ask me. Listen and download "Toast" freestyle and let us know your thoughts.
