  • Jay-Z’s not releasing Foxy Brown’s new album? Page Six is reporting that Hova is “furious at Foxy’s lack of productivity on her album Black Roses.The Post’s source goes on to say: “He is also mad because Foxy was talking out of school about him and Rihanna and saying things that weren’t true.”
  • Beanie Sigel had to take a break from recording new album The Bad Guy to have a double hernia repaired at a Philadelphia hospital.
  • Backstreet Boy A.J. McLean reportedly says we all have to wait a tad bit longer for the new album. In the meantime McLean is working on his solo record partially about his lack of relationship with his father.

If Em’s going to make more half-assed albums like Encore, he should stay retired.

So long as Albert’s solo career doesn’t forestall the release of future Strokes CDs I’m all for him continuing his solo career — “Yours to Keep” is an excellent album.

It’s sad to see how Hov and Foxy’s chemistry is unbalance.You know,this is the one of the most successful,genuine duos in the music business(besides individually)and some inconvienent controversy zaps them both on the spot.And how long have we’ve been waiting for Fox Boogie’s long-awaited album after her share of bullcrap has settled in the dust?I didn’t want to believe it at first-the fact that people claim Roc-A-Fella is no more-but as we all know
it’s still alive well,it’s just that half a chunk was taken by Dame Dash(fairly)and it feels sort of different.Each artist from both Roc-A-Fella(half of it) and Dame Dash Music Group was super-talented and charismatic in their own right,which is what made all of Roc-A-Fella at that time one of the most elite teams before the Jay/Dame/Def Jam negotiation(by the way critics,stop jonin’ on Memphis).So I guess it would be fitting if you guys have a sit down meeting(specifically covering egos,negotiations,envy,and other unecessary parts of controversy that divided Roc-A-Fella).More so,a mixtape with both the current lineup of Roc-A-Fella and Dame Dash music group would be great and make the PERMANENT reunion of Roc-A-Fella official.Think about it,y’all-sky’s the limit(puts Roc sign up).By the way,get well soon Beans-Willtown,DE got your back.

gosh, foxy’s been talking about me. and rihanna is saying stuff that isn’t true. teacher, may i have a hall pass? i wonder where little billy and jimmy are today? home sick? golly, i wonder if we’ll win the basketball game tomorrow night? suzy sure does look good in her cheerleader uniform. will you tell foxy that rihanna thinks jay-z is cute?

what is this? third grade? or a major label? what the fuck?

Mike | 11/6/2006, 1:25 pm EST

Gee, thanks for the disertation Chuck. To bad nobody gives a shit about Foxy Brown or Roc-a-fella. I like Leopold’s comments. More Strokes.

Whateva | 11/6/2006, 1:36 pm EST

I agree with Aaron D.

Encore | 11/6/2006, 5:03 pm EST

If u really appreciated Em’s Work u wouldnt be talking down on his Encore album….He still can make good music and will bring out a bad ass album next…just u watch!!!

idioteque | 11/6/2006, 9:12 pm EST

Eminem used to be so good…but you could really tell he was mailing it in with Encore. There were like 5 good songs on that album. And his Akon collaboration blows almost as badly as My Humps.

Maybe Proof’s death and his remarriage will inspire him to recapture his pre-Encore heights. Just no more club bangers, no Fiddy guest spots, no stupid sex raps. Eminem is always better doing songs like Stan and Lose Yourself than garbage like Ass Like That and the Akon song.

everything EM touches is gold! i’ve never heard him say a bad rhyme!

NOMIS | 11/6/2006, 10:26 pm EST

EM IS #1 ALL HIS ALBUMS WERE GOOD STARTING WITH INFINITE, SLIMSHADY EP, LP MAR4SHALL MATHERS LP, 8 MILE SOUNDTRACK, THE EMINEM SHOW, ENCORE AND CURTAIN CALL THE HITS SO ALL ENCORE HATERS CAN KISS MY A** LET’S SEE THEM MAKE A RAP ALBUM. EMINEM IS AWESOME HE SHOULD NEVER BE RETIRED UNLESS HE ANNOUNC’S IT. I CAN FEEL RE-UP WILL BE AS GOOD AS ALL HIS ALBUMS A TRUE EMINEM FAN WOULD LIKE EVRYTHING HE DOE’S UNLESS HE’S JUDGEING HIS OWN FANS BUT WHAT HE SAYS IS THE TRUTH. I THINK HE’S A VERY TALENTED PERSON AND HE GOT TO WHERE HE’S AT TODAY BECAUSE OF HIS TALENT. AND I WISH I COULD THANK AKON IN PERSON FOR CONVINCING EMINEM TO NOT RETIRE KEEP DOING GOOD EMINEM AND THANKS AKON!

Aaron D. | 11/7/2006, 9:47 am EST

Hey NOMIS. TYPE LOUDER. I CAN’T HEAR YOU! Man I hate caps lock.

Anyway, I’m not some hopelessly devoted Eminem fan. I’m a fan of good music, which is why I personally disliked Encore. Like someone said before, it sounded like he was mailing it in. Have you heard “Ass Like That?” Ugh, that song was vomit.

SATAN | 11/7/2006, 10:20 am EST

VOTE REPUBLICAN

charliemapleton | 11/7/2006, 1:25 pm EST

By the way Jay(or in this day in age,Mr.Carter)it wouldn’t hurt to reorganize that supposed “Roc Army Tour”(smiles).

gerri | 11/7/2006, 8:04 pm EST

Im eminems #1 fan bigtime but 2 be honest i get sick of hearin some of his songs , but lots of his songs mean alot 2 me. But i like smack that n stuff cuz dat brings a bit of life 2 him in stead of singin slow songs all da time.

Em is talented and retirement for him is a joke. His collab with Akon is great.
