Snoop Dogg’s Amy inspiration

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

Snoop Dogg's new album is inspired by Amy Winehouse.

The rapper is a huge fan of the troubled singer's worldwide hit record 'Back to Black' and admits her honest and heartfelt lyrics made him want to make his forthcoming LP on his own.

He said: "When I'm listening to it, I'm learning who she is. It's like when you listen to James Brown, he did it by himself, and Curtis Mayfield, all by himself."

Snoop is turning his back on his usual superstar collaborators and is planning on baring his soul on the hotly-anticipated album.

He explained: "I'm going to do the whole record by myself.

"I don't want no guest rappers this time round, no singers, nothing. Just Snoop Dogg! I want you to feel me."

Snoop has previously recorded with Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams, 50 Cent and Dr Dre.

The new album is expected to be out by the end of the year.

On 'Back to Black' Amy sings about her painful break-up from now husband Blake Fielder-Civil.

The 23-year-old singer and her spouse have checked in and out of rehab twice this month, and have both been branded drug addicts by their parents.

Justin Timberlake’s Britney snub

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

Justin Timberlake has refused to duet with Britney Spears at the MTV Video mp3 music Awards.

The 'Toxic' singer - who experienced a 'meltdown' earlier this year following her divorce - is to debut her comeback single at the awards ceremony and was also rumoured to be teaming up with her ex-boyfriend.

But a source close to Timberlake told Us Weekly magazine: "That's totally, patently false."

Britney, 25, reportedly showed off her upcoming awards performance - in which she has collaborated with Las Vegas illusionist Criss Angel - to MTV bosses on August 27.

A source said: "She's planning it to be a big comeback performance and she wants it to be shocking."

Britney is, At all, said to have axed plans to sing 'My Prerogative' along with a medley of her greatest hits, as images of ex-lovers Justin Timberlake, 26, and Kevin Federline, 29, and scandalous gossip about her flashed on a screen during her performance.

Meanwhile, singer-songwriter Ne-Yo revealed yesterday (29.08.07) he has written material for Britney's fifth album - rumoured to be released next month - but lost touch with her after she went into rehab.

Ne-Yo told KIIS-FM radio host Ryan Seacrest: "Her new mp3 music is definitely up-tempo. She's got to remind people why they love her in the first place. She's got to get their minds off her personal life and back on the mp3 music.

"I have no idea what's going on with Britney Spears right now. The last thing I heard is she was mad at me over some songs that were supposed to go to her.

"I wrote six to eight songs for Britney Spears, working really closely with her people. Then she goes and shaves her head and goes into rehab - and when that happened I lost all contact with her and the people at her label.

"I think it's possible she can make a comeback. I heard a lot of the mp3 music. I definitely think she can do it."

Britney Spears’ desertion song

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

Britney Spears has bared her soul in a new song in which she sings about her "baby boy" deserting her.

The track - which has been leaked on the internet - features the 25-year-old divorced mother-of-two singing a ballad over a slow beat to the sound of toy chimes.

In what appears to be a plea to ex-husband Kevin Federline, Britney sings: "Everyday, I'm in a daze/Looking for that someone

"And everyday, I sit and kneel and pray/Oh, sweet love, can I get some?

"So why do you desert me, baby boy? I need your love right now!"

The song then breaks and Britney is heard on the phone saying: "Hey baby, what time you gonna get home?"

The song ends with Britney singing: "So why did you desert me, baby boy?/I thought that you, you were the one.

"So if you preferred the other one/She won't bring you the sun."

A source said: "This is obviously just a demo and not a finished or official release in any way. It is a shame someone would leak unfinished, unmastered and incomplete work."

Britney is currently facing a custody battle with Kevin for 23-month-old Sean Preston and 11-month-old Jayden James.

The singer is rumoured to be planning to flee to London with her sons.

Junkyard Prophet’s new album hits store shelves

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

Junkyard Prophet’s new album ‘The Price’ is set to hit store shelves on August 28th. The album features 14 songs including 6 new bonus tracks.
Junkyard Prophet is a Rap-Core Metal band based out of “The Land of 10,000 Lakes.” For nearly a decade, the band’s primary focus has been the future of the youth; so much so that the band turned down major label offers, knowing that the mainstream mp3 music machine might ask them to water down their message.

Bradlee Dean, drummer and no-holds barred mouthpiece for the group says, "We chose kids over the labels (money), because if we had chosen the label, we know that it wouldn't have been about the kids!"

On ‘The Price,’ Junkyard Prophet’s Rap-Core style has the ferocity and musical chops of Dragon Force with the crunch, melody and pop sensibility of Linkin Park. They fit every rock playlist and make a habit of staying in your face, with original style and a message that demands movement. Even former drummer of Megadeth, Nick Menza, says "I love the mp3 music, powerful tracks..."

Junkyard Prophet to date has played countless shows and has been able to reach over 500,000 young people all over America. Without distribution, or record company assistance, the band has sold over 25,000 CD’s in the Midwest alone.
