Let it Marinate...

Ah-mazing!

Day 26 Stan Reporting

So according to http://www.hiphopwired.com/, Day 26 has left Bad Boy Records, but remain on Atlantic. Willie had this to say.

“Bad Boy is always our family, but we're with Atlantic right now…we really want to get people focused on the artistry, on the music. I think a lot of people lost it with the entertainment of the show. So now, we really want to show people what we're all about, that we do our thing whether it's on stage, in the studio, writing and producing -- we do it all.”

I'm hoping this is a good move for my boys. Unlike 112 and nem, they really have talent.

HipHopWired also states that, "The group isn't looking to put an album out until sometime next year, but in the meantime, ladies can invest in their women's shoe line. Released in September, Eight2Six shoes coincided with the groups single, “Your Heels.” The line's first product was the “Swagga Heel” featured in three different colors and priced at $99.99."

I've seen the shoes and they are whack, but Will and his hustla wife are hocking I Love Will tee shirts. Gotta be some change in that, right?

Confessions Part I

I have some confessions to make and I would appreciate not being judged.

1. I have a Pretty Ricky CD, Late Night Special, and I like it.

2. I have a twitter page, but I only use it to stalk, um, I mean keep up to date on my favorite celebs and ghetto celebs.

3. I follow Lauren Conrad, Amanda Bynes and Khloe Kardashian

4. I luv The Hills and The City I even catch missed episodes ON DEMAND

5. I like to shop. I thought I didn’t but I really really like it. I like Target, the grocery store, The Home Depot anything!

6. I heart the song “You’re a Jerk” and I dance in my kitchen. I like swag surfin too.

7. I have a thing for ugly guys (i.e. Chamillionaire and Hurricane Chris). His song with Mario is kinda hot too.

8. I’m really not that outraged over the recent ‘black face’ scandals.

9. I bought the new Rihanna album Rated R and it is fire.

10. I am dying to wear black tights with denim hot pants!

Stomp the Yard 2: Homecoming

Word is filming for Stomp the Yard 2: Homecoming started earlier this month. Stomp the Yard was a hood hit, bringing in 67 million at the box office in 2007. I saw it twice. The movie is about a kid from the hood who just wanted to dance and in his selfishness and arrogance indirectly gets his little brother killed after winning a dance battle with some ruthless monsters. In the aftermath the kid, DJ, played by sexy muthfoya Columbus Short is sent to live with his aunt and uncle in Atlanta and attend Truth University. He finds love and brotherhood yadda, yadda, yadda. The plot wasn’t very complex and we’ve seen it before but the dancing was a-mazing. The cast didn’t look too bad either.

The film also starred Meagan Good, Darrin Henson, Brian White, Laz Alonso, and Valerie Pettiford, Harry Lennix and, in their film debuts, Ne-Yo and Chris Brown. The movie was filmed in Atlanta, Georgia on the campuses of Morris Brown College, Georgia Institute of Technology, Morehouse College and Clark Atlanta University, and in the MAK Historic District of Decatur, Georgia. The filming is back in the ATL. The plot for the sequel hasn’t been revealed, but I don’t think it’s even relevant. The cast makes pretty good eye candy and I’m sure the dancing/stepping will be nice too.

Terrence J of 106 and Park has been added to the new cast along with former Cheetah Girl Kiely Williams, Pooch Hall of The Game fame and singer/rapper Teyana Taylor. The big question is if Columbus Short will return. Last month when asked about rejoining the cast he told The Hollywood Reporter “No.Come on! Some things are better left alone. I've learned that. I had my share of a sequel. I was in the "Save the Last Dance" sequel. That was cool. You've got to work your way up. (Laughs)” Since then there have been rumors of him reprising the role. Is Laz Alsonso coming back too? He is fione! Other casting is under way.

I ain’t fan of sequels, but I’ll go see this just for the eye candy. It may be out be February 2010.
