Last night, my date and I headed over to Universal Citywalk to have some shrimp at “Bubba Shrimp’s” and since we had nothing to do after dinner, we decided to head to Gibson Amphitheatre to catch a show…

The show began at 8:15 p.m. and we got there just in time to see After 7 perform their last two songs.  The old women over 40 loved when the group ended their set with their 90′s hit “Ready Or Not.”  After 7 didn’t have a band — their music was pre-recorded. I believe the group should start performing on cruise ships.

About 15-minutes later Teddy Riley, Aaron Hall and Damon Hall hit the stage. I was surprised.  Know why? Because they were fucking good mane.  I loved it most when Aaron Hall dissed Trey Songs and Chris Brown.  Aaron said they’re good because they’re using his style, but asked if these newbies could hold up another 20-years and look like him? Ouch!!!! Continue Reading…

The Long Island Music Hall Of Fame is set to induct Eric B & Rakim, November 16th. The legendary rap group will be joining the ranks of past inductees like Public Enemy, Billy Joel, Joan Jett, Alec Baldwin, LL Cool J, Paul Scaeffer and Grandmaster Flash.

In light of the great news, I reached out to hip hop rap mogul Russell Simmons to ask him his thoughts on the matter. Simmons said:

“Eric B is one of the coolest guys…everybody wanted to be like Eric…. him and Flash were the coolest DJ’s ever. As for Rakim he changed the way how people rap they all rhyme like Rakim today he represented the Gods. I’ll like to congratulate Eric & Rakim on being inducted.”

HSK Exclusive - Not long before Ike Turner passed away, he gave me a bunch of DVD’s and VHS tapes containing some of his countless performances over the years– it’s some of the best footage I’ve ever seen of Ike and Tina Turner.

Tina is truly a great singer — they don’t make them like that anymore, and to see Sammy Davis join the pair on stage is nothing less than legendary.

Don’t you agree?

Will.I.Am is a Straight Thief…Another Set of Artists Fall Victim to His Game

**UPDATE**

Music executive Jerry Heller is speaking out about his connection, or rather lack thereof, to Will.I.Am’s scam on the J.J. Fad girls.

I spoke with Heller today. He told me that he sold his share of Ruthless Records back in 1999, and has since had nothing to do with the label. And, just after I mentioned Will.I.Am’s remake of J.J. Fad’s 80′s hit “Supersonic” generated five million units to be sold, Heller abruptly ended our phone call by hanging up on me.

I’ll keep you all updated as this story unfolds…

————————————-

A trio of female recording artists have received the shit end of the stick after receiving NOTHING for a song which sold five million units worldwide.

Rialto, California natives, MC JB aka Juana Burns, Baby -D aka Dania Birks and Sassy C. aka Michelle Franklin, collectively known as “J.J. Fad”, have yet to see any up front cash for the remake of their 80′s hit song “Supersonic”, let alone royalties.

Back in 2006, Fergie released her solo album “The Dutchess”, with her second single off the album “Fergalicious”, a remake of J.J. Fad’s 1988 hit single “Supersonic.”

Apparently Will.I.Am disregarded J.J. Fad and went straight to their former label, Ruthless Records before striking a deal with the company. Continue Reading…
