Ciara's Third Album Has Some Goodies
How come they never showed this picture in the video?
After taking two years off since her sophomore album Ciara: The Evolution, Ciara is back in the studio working on her newest release Fantasy Ride. The title itself explores an innovative process Ciara has taken in developing her latest project, in where she plans to have three separate discs, each with different themes.
The first disc, Groove City, will provide slower songs with intimacy in mind. On Crunktown, Ciara has expressed the vibe as more club-conscious to the former. On the last disc, entitled Kingdom Of Dance, she will feature up-tempo records that give her more creative freedom. All together, the album itself will be between 15-18 tracks long.
Along with her albums’ tentative fall release, Ciara will also be making her theater debut in the off-Broadway now-turned movie Mama I Want To Sing! Co-starring alongside Lynn Whitfield and Patti LaBelle, Ciara plays the character Amara Winter, a young aspiring singer who finds herself split between the gospel of her family and the success of mainstream celeb-life. The movie hits theaters October 10th through 20th Century Fox.
Fantasy Ride is looking at a September release on Jive Records.

Papoose Accused Of Trying To Break Remy Out Of Prison
According to the New York Daily News, rapper Papoose attempted to break future wife Remy Ma out of prison with a small key.
"A wedding was scheduled today and a visitor to that wedding service was found to be in possession of jail contraband so the wedding was canceled," said a correction officer from Rikers Island.
"The key that was found today easily opened handcuffs that we and other law enforcement officials use," the official said.
Miss Info clarified certain details about this situation on her site, explaining that Papoose had with him an old skeleton key that he had on his keychain for a long time - which he visited Rikers on numerous occasions with, never having a problem.
According to Miss Info, Papoose subsequently gave up the keys once he was informed he could not enter with them. As the rapper was about to get onto the bus to visit Remy, along with Remy Ma's mother and three unidentified guests, he was thrown into a jail cell, and later taken to the warden.
At that point, Papoose was accused of trying to break Remy out of prison with the skeleton key.
Papoose was not charged, but cannot visit the prison for six months.
Remy Ma is due to be sentenced today for the shooting of former friend Makeda Barnes-Joseph. She faces up to 25 years.

Bill O'Reilly Flips Out! [Back In His Younger Reporter Days]
Hip Hop fans who watch Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor” know that host, Bill O’Reilly has a bit of a temper. His outburst against many of his guests and various topics have been discussed on news shows and message boards alike, but a new video shows that “the culture warrior” can take it to his staff as well.
A video showing old footage from O’Reilly’s “Inside Edition” days show the pundit going on a tirade over jumbled writing on the studio teleprompter.
After failing to read the copy, O’Reilly drops the “the F bomb” on the staffer who previously tried to walk him through the text.
Aside from the antics, which could easily be described as childish, the language O’Reilly uses is similar to the language of the “gangster rappers” he readily decries.

Damon Dash Calls Jim Jones' Major Label Debut ''Classic''
Former Jay-Z business partner Damon Dash believes Harlem rapper Jim Jones has a hit on his hands with this next solo album.
Jones inked a lucrative deal with Columbia Records last year and longtime associate and Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder Damon Dash believes the Dipset Capo's major label debut may just be a "classic."
"He actually put together a pretty decent album, I think, better than the average and what people expected," Dame told Hot 97 personality Peter Rosenberg in a recent interview. "He's a pretty respected dude and he has a lot of swagger. I'ma be helping my man Jim out trying to take him as a brand and making sure he gets to capitalize off that."
Dash grew up with Jones and said he's known the Byrd Gang front man since Jimmy was six years old. But he hasn't always been so supportive of Jim's career.
"I told Jim not to rap because he's not a rapper," Dash admitted. "I looked at him like a business man. But he has enough swagger and personality to pull it off."
Jim Jones is currently working on his fourth studio album, the follow up to 2006's Hustler's P.O.M.E (Product of My Environment) which scored with the infectious hit single "Ballin."
"Through his practice and his relentless assault on making music, a record every day, he actually got pretty good," Dame said. "So his new album, I think he might have come up with a classic, and that's me saying that."
According to Dame, Jim has two movies in the works, a book and a Byrd Gang album coming out in June, in addition to his solo project on the way.
"I'm proud of him, for real," Dame said.

MTV Puts Best Emcee List Up To Viewer Vote
If you remember from last years’ MTV’s Hottest Emcee’s In The Game list, Lil Wayne took the crown, leaving the competition in the dust. The conservation, however, was far from over.
After the rankings were revealed, many displeased viewers (as they always are with these lists) and artists alike sounded off on the list. 50 Cent let it be known he deserved a higher spot than #8. “I’m #8, and I got a CD going on sale. Fuck MTV,” 50 stated. On the other hand, Snoop Dogg was disgusted by the fact he wasn’t even on the list. “To the people of 2007 for leaving me off the list, fuck y'all.”
Now, the judging crew is getting back together to figure out this year’s list of Hip Hop’s hottest emcees. This past year has brought amazing accomplishments from some, but has also featured disappointing decline in other artists, so it will be interesting to see how the judges accommodate these issues in putting together their new top ten list.
Though it won’t necessarily influence the judge’s decisions on their final list, MTV has implemented a fan-vote poll for people to vote for their favorite Hip Hop emcee. Among the candidates are seasoned veterans (Andre 3000, Jay-Z), '00s contemporaries (Ludacris, 50 Cent), and delegates of the ringtone generation (Shawty Lo, Rocko).
Will Lil Wayne keep his crown with an upcoming CD in his own right? Did Kanye have enough success and clout in 2007 to woo the judges? Is Soulja Boy even relevant to the discussion? Find out on MTV May 16th.
