Amber Rose – Fame ft. Wiz Khalifa
If you waited all morning to hear the new Amber Rose single “Fame” you didn’t miss anything. The track is every bit as boring as you thought it would be. Amber’s carousel ride, Wiz Khalifa, jumps on the track with a forgettable verse. The single premiered on Perez Hilton’s blog this morning.
Here’s what the former stripper had to say about her first foray into the world of music:
I’m so excited to release my first song… It’s CRAZY! Working with Wiz is a dream come true; I am fortunate to have his support.
This is a very personal song to me that I wanted to record for my fans. I want people to see the world from my eyes, you know, from BEHIND MY SHADES! It’s my interpretation of what it means to be “FAMOUS,” which is not something superficial but instead being self-confident and happy with who you are.
You can feel famous everyday if you believe in yourself! Source

Jay Z – Glory ft. Blue Ivy
The baby is only 2 days old and already aging rapper Jay Z has featured the infant on this track entitled “Glory”. Even though he samples the late great Curtis Mayfield, this track doesn’t even compare to Stevie Wonder’s classic hit, “Isn’t She Lovely”, which also featured Wonder’s newborn daughter, Aisha – and which is obviously the inspiration for this song.
Jay Z shamefully tugs at the heart strings by claiming Beyonce miscarried his seed.
- You don’t yet know what swag is, but you was made in Paris, and Momma woke up the next day and shot her album package.
Last time, the miscarriage was so tragic. We was afraid you’d disappear but nah, Baby you magic!
So there you have it, shit happens, just make sure the plane you on is bigger than your carry-on baggage.

Common – Stay Schemin’ (Remix) ft. Drake, Rick Ross, French Montana & Beyonce
Supposedly, all of this beefing between two grown men — rap god Drake and lyricist Common — is over Serena Williams, whom both rappers are rumored to have tapped in the past. Since discovering they both had something in common (pun intended), the two men low key dissed each other on mixtapes and interviews.
Then Common dropped his single “Sweet” back in November. And with lyrics about “soft MCs” it wasn’t a stretch to figure out who he was referring to.
Then Drake responded with a soft lyrical lob on Rick Ross’ track “Stay Schemin” off his Rich Forever mixtape (“It bothers me when the gods get to actin’ like the broads”). But if there was any question about Drake’s intended target, Common left no such doubts. He remixed “Stay Schemin” leaving Drake’s verse intact. But he Photoshopped the single’s cover with the words “That Hoe Ass Nigg%” where Drake’s name was.
-
Don’t do it, ’cause every song you make Joe is really hoe music
I heard you said you wasn’t a bitch ’cause you sing
You a bitch ’cause you clean like the bitch that’s 18
Can’t say my name but rap about a nigga’s wife
You so black and white trying to live a nigga’s life
I’m taking too long wit this amateur guy
You ain’t wettin’ nobody, nigga
You Canada Dry

I love Drake like my son, but Common won this round. I mean, if you’re going to catch a body, let it be over a real hottie like Dania Ramirez, not a badly built broad who’s loaded up on steroids. 
New Music: Ciara – “Swim” & “Be Out”
Singer Ciara finds herself in the best position of her career. Rihanna’s latest studio effort bricked, and Beyonce had to fake a pregnancy to boost interest in her fading career. Those two vacancies leaves the door open for Ciara to reclaim her dominance in the R&B/pop scene. Today, the 26-year-old budding superstar dropped two tracks from her upcoming as-yet-untitled album on Epic records titled “Swim” and “Be Out”. The latter track is album filler, but “Swim” boasts a catchy, upbeat track that should appeal to her teeny bopper audience. Welcome back Ciara!

Mary J Blige ft. Beyonce – Love a Woman
The full version of the most talked about Mary J Blige track in recent memory hit the Internets yesterday. Love A Woman was originally recorded by Beyoncé, who decided she didn’t want it (for good reason) so she tossed it to Mary. It’s off her My Life II…The Journey Continues (Act I), which hits stores on November 21st.
“Love A Woman” is more disappointing drivel from an artist whose lengthy career is pretty much over. Even Beyonce couldn’t save this gloomy track. While the lyrics imploring men to love their women are meaningful, the track doesn’t quite hit the mark. Mary will always be considered a R&B legend, and she will remain in demand on the nightclub circuit, if that’s any consolation.

LEAKED: Rihanna – Talk That Talk
Rihanna’s much-anticipated 6th studio album, Talk That Talk, sprung a leak and flooded the Internet overnight. Her record label’s amateur plumbers immediately went to work trying to fix the leaks, but it was too late as thousands of eager Rihanna fans (and some Haters) already downloaded the full set.
We didn’t get a chance to listen to all of the songs, but here are the tracks that we’re feeling so far:
