And with that, the song is OFFICIALLY KILLED! DEAD!
I mean my grandfather who is visiting from overseas just came back from the studio where he dropped 60 bars over the beat. Then my oldest son rapped about his toys over it. He was talkin’ about how he got “A Milli” more toys than all them bust it babies in daycare. Then my newborn just drooled on the mic for HIS version of it.
Last I heard Osama Bin Laden was rapping over the beat with Kim Jong Il about how they got “A Milli” bombs and bullets for us.
He has some interesting stuff like the kind of car he drives and stuff like that! If you are a Ne-Yo fan, then head over to his blog Year of the Gentleman!
The Black Darkwing Duck Ne-Yo says he’s over R&B music. Check it out:
For his June 24 release of “Year of the Gentleman” via Def Jam, the 28-year-old, real name Shaffer Smith, is venturing into “more worldly” territory.
“There’s some stuff on there that sounds like something the Beatles might’ve done,” Ne-Yo told Billboard. “There’s some stuff on there that sounds like something Billy Joel might’ve done. I can’t do just straight urban music no more, because to be completely honest with you, I’m a little bored with it. I’m just moving with what music excites me now.”
I wonder if this has anything to do with Usher coming back out to rule on cats the way Tameka rules his ass.
For the last few weeks rumors were running rampant that Ne-Yo was suing Beyonce over royalties from her hit single “Irreplaceable.” He was also supposedly suing her because she was backing out on a deal to work with him on his next album.
Ne-Yo tells Singersroom.com that these rumors aren’t true, so there won’t be any dance-offs or sing-offs in a courtroom somewhere.
I’m kind of saddened. I was looking to see who would out-zest and out-queen the other.
Ne-Yo recently sat down with Essence to discuss his projects, rumors about him being gay and the beef with the self-proclaimed piss Pied Piper of R&B, R. Kelly.
Check it out:
Essence.com: It’s been reported that you were asked to leave the tour because you upstaged him. Is that simply speculation?
N.Y.: Well, I’m the one who made that statement. I only did two shows in Columbus and Georgia. It was only the next day after the first two reviews came out and they gave me great reviews and his were not so positive.
Essence.com: Wow—so did you ever speak to R. Kelly about your dismissal?
N.Y.: Nope. That was another thing—as a man he showed me blatant disrespect. He never tried to come and speak to me, but he wouldn’t even have to come to me, I would have been willing to talk to him about it, but that never happened.
Kidding………. Anyway Ne-Yo has sued R. Kelly’s Double Up tour promoter for firing him after just two shows where he was the opening act. This is serious, they’re going to make you delirious….
R&B singer Ne-Yo sued the promoter of the R. Kelly Double Up tour for firing him after two shows as the opening act, claiming that the audience and the critics liked him better, according to court papers obtained on Wednesday.
Ne-Yo, whose real name is Shaffer Smith, and Compound Touring Inc. filed the suit Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court against Georgia-based Rowe Entertainment Inc., alleging breach of contract and violation of the right of publicity.
Compound Touring and Smith are seeking unspecified damages, but the suit maintains he was to be paid $785,000 for 25 shows opening for Kelly’s “Double-Up Tour” that began Nov. 14 and is still owed $735,000.
I hope Ne-Yo gets him JUST for contributing such f*ckery as “I’m a Flirt” and “Same Girl.” Hell if I was the judge, I’d sentence him to death by firing squad.
Ne-Yo performed last night with his usual zestful swagger. Usher called from way back in 1999. Yeah he wants his style sent back to him. Thanks…………
Missy Elliott showed up to show her newest “girl” some love. I swear she is looking at her like she’s a plate of neckbones or something….*suspect*
Although I think of Reynold’s foil just a little bit, Keyshia looks like she means business with her performance stance. Her hair is looking mad right too, even though Kelis had that style in the bag last year. Loves it regardless!!
P.S. Am I the ONLY one that thinks she looks like a background singer for Parliament Funkadelic with the silver????
This was Ne-Yo at his Birthday party at the Tribeca Rooftop last night. Either Ne-Yo was: a) Impressed by her singing b) Passing gas c) Blowing out the candles with his behind d) Fantasizing about Chris Brown in a chocolate-sauce reduction e) all of the above………….
I’m going with all of the above. I don’t know why……….
I really need to take my ass to bed so I’m doing a best of the worst. Why? Because it’s easy to find the weak ones in the bunch then feast on them. Kind of like baby zebras and lions! Here we go:
Ciara needs to know that we GET that she’s skinny, but feminine she is not. My brother could wear this dress better than her, and he’s built like a linebacker. Oddly enough with his pecs he has bigger tits than her. LOW BLOW!!! Her husky shoulders make me think young, transsexual male. Perhaps EATING would bring some MUCH needed female curves????
Coco is it too much to ask that you put on a dress with no animal prints? Is it really?
Okay damn it. Who the HELL are you pointing at, Ne-Yo? Me? Why me? WTF did I do to you? Pointing past me? Is there some axe murderer about to sashimi my ass? I NEED ANSWERS!!! Get his Black Koi Fish ass on ANTM so Tyra and Miss Jay can teach him how to pose and give different looks. I suggest the “I’m really not gay, I promise” look.
I get it! Your old but you worked the hell out of your body. Now get a shirt on. Everytime I see this cat, he is shirtless. Why???
Ahhh T-Pain. I thought that in the presence of some true hip hop greats that he would have a reaction similiar to Damien in “The Omen” as he neared the church. Alas, he was unaffected. I see his lips were also on “extra chapped” mode. That’s sexy. Really it is. I bet his breath smells like poontang and cheese sandwiches.
Atlanta rapper Young Jeezy celebrated his 100th birthday over the weekend and it was well….it just was.
I HIGHLY suggest he get a toupe or wear a hat because right about now he looks like a black vibrator with sunglasses on. He looks like a real d-ck.
Excellent fashion sense Zoe!!! Honestly I would ask him who he’s wearing and by that I would be referring to WHOSE ASS IS PLASTERED ON HIS SHIRT………..
The black Doodlebops were there. I mean T.I. and Tiny. I think they are short enough for me to rest my titties on their heads. Pregnant tits are heavy….
Ne-Yo aka The Black Darkwing Duck was there. Everytime I see him I think of a Black Koi Fish………
Are you still relevant Chingy? I’m waiting for him to write a book along the lines of “Talent Are You There? It’s Me Chingy!”
My dream isn’t to interview George Bush or Prince William or even Tavis Smiley or Cornel West. No! Those are whack interviews. If you want a real good interview with an articulate speaker who makes sense, you need a little Pimp C in your life!!!
Such nuggets of wisdom on……….
Having protected sex?
You’ve conducted some interviews recently that expressed some pretty offensive opinions, but you only apologized for your “Atlanta ain’t the South” statement. Any other apologies you wanna make? Let me say this: That statement about Russell Simmons had nothing to do with his sexual orientation. It had more to do with a disagreement [we had]. I don’t know if the man likes Martians, squirrels or whatever, so I ain’t gonna speak on something that I didn’t see. It’s no gay-bashing with me. It’s just, be proud of what you are, instead of hidin’ in the closet. And if ya fuck boys in the ass, then don’t be tryna fuck with the girls, too, poisoning the pussy population wit’ ya shitty ol’ dirty-ass dick.
On who’s real in rap and who’s not….
Do you ever feel any compassion for Bun B, for being in a group with a man like yourself, who is unfiltered and can be bullheaded in his ways? You been programmed to think I’m bullheaded. I just know what the fuck goin’ on. I know who’s a faggot (Let me guess Ne-yo? T.I? KANYE? I need answers! I know! Souljah Boy?????), I know who lettin’ them girls fuck ’em in the ass with them dildos (Oh that’s 50 Cent for SURE!!!), I know who really sold dope (Ummm NONE OF ‘EM *lol), I know who didn’t (Jeezy for sure!). I be in Houston. The only nigga I see [in Houston] goin’ to the mall by himself is Slim Thug. Other niggas, when I see ’em, they got bodyguards around ’em. How you gonna be scared of the neighborhood you supposed to be reppin’? All them [Houston rappers] that think they stars, guess what, bitch? Ain’t no stars down here. Only stars is in the muthafuckin’ sky!

Ne-Yo on being outsung by J-Hud on “Leaving Tonight”:
That’s a song where I know I’m being outsung. But it doesn’t matter, because it’s Jennifer, and it’s an honor. Any critic who says she killed me vocally, I’ll say, “You’re damn right!” I don’t have the voice she has.
That happened to me once. I was recording for my cd “Don’t Butta Up My Grits” and I invited MoKenStef on the track……blew my a$$ RIGHT out the water….it was a wrap. They pulled a Beyonce on me……*rolls eyes*
