Just check the song out.....

Jeezy is infamous for bringing out the hottest of the hot during his Birthday Bash set (think back to last year when he brought out Jigga); and this year is no different. Not only did he kill it with Usher, he brought out Kanye to Put On for His City!!!! Peep the footage..do I heat Mr. Lo -Lo himself coming to the stage; yup coming down from the ceiling!!! Keep it locked!

1. Congratulations to Lil Wayne, who moved 423,000 copies of The Carter III in the FIRST DAY. Who says hip-hop is dead? This is just a lesson in that hard work and passion for your craft can bring new life to any "dying" art form. Who can argue that he is not the greatest rapper today other than Kanye? He told us he was the best and we didn't believe him and he stepped up, worked harder, and showed and proved! I wonder how DJ Chuck T (who famously leaked this album to the internet 2 weeks before it was released) feels now? Where are all the people who say music sales are on the decline? Maybe, it's just that great music is GREAT MUSIC. Leave it at that. Check out a great article on SOHH.com where the producers of this album talk about each track HERE.
2. Stop hating on Usher! It is always hard to accept unexpected change in others when we may not be changing in the same ways, however Here I Stand is a MASTERPIECE of vocal ability and demonstration. Before you get caught up in the hate, actually take some time and LISTEN to the album. Usher is growing up (as we all should be doing in our 20s and 30s) and his music is reflecting his growth. We would call him FAKE if he came out talking about the subject matter of 8701 or Confessions at this point in his life because we know he is not living that? So, what's a man to do? Take your stand, Usher.
3. My advice to Janet Jackson is to reinvent yourself like you did for your classics Control, Rhythm Nation 1814, and Janet. We haven't seen a new side of Janet since then!
4. Britney Spears' last album Blackout, was her BEST ALBUM TO DATE. Go buy it. The drama in her personal life overshadowed the great album that is a credit to her and all those who worked to produce it.

The person in this post wrote "Usher paid thousands of dollars for a beat that was already created all Polow did was add a baseline." Wow. Watch the video. Mac users you may not know what you have! Thanks to http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/ for the clip!

The video isn't officially dropping until Monday, but here's a 30-sec clip of Usher's latest #1 hit, "Love In This Club." Have a great weekend!

Shouts out to new Def Jam recording artist Rocko cause I gotta steal his line! My BRiSON motto for the day is "Umma Do Me!" lol It's so important to let your OWN spirit shine through in everything you do cause that's how you leave your mark.

Okay, let me stop with the philosophical here is the music that WILL NOT LEAVE OUR iPODS, laptops, or car CD players this week:



DAY 26 "SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE" - Go get these boys' new CD in stores TODAY! Day 26 honestly has made compelling music that certainly displays their artistry. Vocally, these boys make great songs for this to be their first album. With Danity Kane's SMASH album last week and now this, is this the return of the Bad Boy Empire?





USHER "MOVIN MOUNTAINS" - from his upcoming CD titled "Here I Stand" in June 2008 Usher has, in my opinion, a Grammy nominated track in this song. Certainly produced by C. Tricky Stewart and The-Dream (though many report Timbaland as the producer, which is certainly possible, though I am certain the Dream has vocals on the bridge) all involved have created a masterpiece!





DANITY KANE "PRETTY BOY" - Produced by , Danity Kane has created an amazing album! Most of the songs are excellent singles and sure to be hits in nightclubs and parties across the country. They may have created the best Dance/Pop Album of 2008.

People Magazine is reporting that Atlanta pop star Usher and his wife, Tameka Foster welcomed a baby boy on Monday night at an undisclosed Atlanta hospital. The magazine cited multiple anonymous sources.

People.com reported that the couple could head home as soon as Wednesday. Usher, 29, and Foster, 36, announced the pregnancy in June.

Before R&B Superstar Usher is scheduled to drop the follow up to his multi-platinum CONFESSIONS, Usher himself has given us this gem! Check it out!!!

Tameka Foster is finally speaking out about the swirl of rumors surrounding her cancelled nuptials to Usher this past Saturday. "No one knows why we canceled the wedding, but I can tell you that all of the reasons that everyone is speculating and writing about are completely untrue," Foster told PEOPLE Monday, but she declined to reveal more about why the nuptials were called off. Sources tell PEOPLE at issues were family matters (Usher's mother and former manager Jonetta Patton was against the wedding) and disagreements between the would-be-bride and groom over wedding details. Foster, 37, who is now in Atlanta (as is Usher, 28) does address one rumor that spread on local radio stations and blogs – that following Saturday's canceled ceremony, she checked into a local hospital and went into pre-term labor. "We had a scare," she says. "But, I am fine and the baby is fine.” The couple announced in June that they were expecting their first child together due this fall.

According to mediatakout.com (which can sometimes be take it or leave it), the Foster/Raymond wedding, which was scheduled for and cancelled on last Saturday, July 28th, may have been a scam all along. Reports claim that L.A. Reid, the supposed host of Usher's Gala, was confirmed to be doing non-profit work on the same day of the wedding, sitting as Chair for the Art for Life Fundraiser held at Russel Simmons' Hamptons estate. The source found it funny that L.A Reid would confirm for an event being held at the same time as Usher's wedding, but he in fact was confirmed. So does this mean that there was no "cold feet" involved? Do I smell a publicity stunt? Is that a young "stunter" she's pregant with? LOL OR...maybe they BOTH actually know about each other...
