Future Abandons Lil Wayne’s America’s Most Wanted Tour
When Lil Wayne hits the road on July 9th with rappers T.I. and 2 Chainz for the 40-city ‘America’s Most Wanted’ tour, rapper Future will not be with them.
“I haven’t been on the road in a minute,” Weezy told MTV News on May 3. “I’m ready to get back out there and I’m going out there with Future and ‘em, and they’re going to obviously take over; I’m just playing the back field,” he said.
That same day, PepsiCo announced it was dropping Lil Wayne (and the tour) from a sponsorship contract due to offensive lyrics in one of his songs.
Brad Paisley and LL Cool J’s “Accidental Racist” Song Misfires
Country music star Brad Paisley calls his song, “Accidental Racist”, one of his proudest moments as a songwriter. But the single, off his new album Wheelhouse, is misfiring badly with some music critics.
Paisley’s song, featuring rapper LL Cool J, is causing controversy due to its lyrics which were intended to promote racial harmony between blacks and whites.
In Case You Missed It: Grammy 2013 Performances
If you missed the 55th Annual Grammy Awards last night, you were not alone. I stopped watching the Grammys snooze fest when it became a popularity contest. Instead of showcasing and rewarding real talent such as Monica Brown and Ledisi, they award non-talented narcissists such as Beyonce, Rihanna, Wiz Khalifa (picture above left) and Frank Ocean.
The Grammys has always been less about talent and more about whoever kisses their butts the longest.
Sorry I have no recap. Thankfully, I’m not paid to watch this mess or report on it.
Watch the performances after the break.

Did Beyonce’s Super Bowl Halftime Extravaganza Cause Power Outage? (Video)
Beyonce’s Super Bowl halftime performance was so hot she caused a power surge that knocked out half the lights in the Superdome!
Okay, I’m kidding. But the lights did go out for about 30 minutes at the start of the 3rd quarter of the Super Bowl in New Orleans. With the Baltimore Ravens leading the hapless San Francisco 49ers 21-6, Jacoby Jones of the Ravens returned a kickoff for 109 yards and a touchdown to give the Ravens a 27-6 lead over the 49ers. That’s when the lights went out. The stadium was still buzzing from Beyonce’s halftime performance that left everyone gasping for more!
Watch the performance after the break!
Compare Beyonce’s Lip Syncing and A Capella National Anthem Versions
The NY Post put together this video clip comparing Beyonce’s tragic lip sync fail at President Obama’s 2nd Inauguration to her live a capella version at a scheduled press conference in New Orleans on Thursday (Jan. 31).
Many wonder why Beyonce thought it was necessary to prove she can sing the National Anthem. From what I hear, Beyonce was unhappy that people thought she sang to a prerecorded track because she couldn’t remember the words.
Beyonce also promised to perform live during halftime of Super Bowl 47 at the Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday.
New Music: Jay Z and Justin Timberlake – Suit & Tie
Rapper Jay Z continues his quest to stay relevant by hopping on singer Justin Timberlake new track titled “Suit and Tie”, off JT’s upcoming album. The intro sucks though the beat is catchy. Justin is the track’s saving grace. But Jay Z’s raps are forgettable — like his recording career if he doesn’t throw in the towel while he’s still kinda on top.
Judge for yourself.
