Can you image a cat fight between two of RnB's biggest star's Rihanna & Ciara? all sweaty and tearing up each others clothes (Lol). Well Rihanna and Ciara seem to have had a lil feud this past week on Twitter
It all started, when Ciara said that Rihanna "wasn't the nicest" on Joan Rivers' fashion show.





Apparently they ended up apologizin to each other.

Lupe Fiasco To Move To Africa & Make Rock Music?

Lupe Fiasco's long awaited Laser's leaked on the net this past week and seems like people had alot of negative things to say bout it. In an interview with Kevin W. Reese from Hot 97, Lupe focused on the future.
When asked where he sees himself in five years, Lupe had a surprising answer. "Hopefully I'll be out of my traditional record deal, the record deal I'm in right now. Probably living in Africa somewhere, making rock music," he said. When pressed if he was serious Lupe laughed and said, "Who knows man? Who knows? I don't know."
The Chi-Town emcee then elaborated on his wish to be free of Atlantic Records. "Yeah, yeah. I would rather be independent, I would take that," he said, before adding that independence isn't the easy way out. "Independent comes with its own set of consequences, so that takes preparation. The same way you prepare to come into a record deal, you need to prepare to come into an indie situation because there is a lot of things you're going to lose taking that route."

Hip Hop Album Sales: The Week Ending 2/27/2011

Its that time again when artists find out by a show of album sales whether the public loves their music or if people think what they are doin is just a complete flop

The four top urban artists were within 4,000 units of each other, approximately speaking. Bruno Mars' Doo Wops & Hooligans fell one spot, to #6.
Eminem's Recovery also went down one spot. Earlier this week, a bunch of leaked material hit the Internet from the late '00s, recording by the Aftermath Entertainment superstar. Rihanna's Loud climbed two spots, returning to its #8 from two weeks ago. Nicki Minaj held strong at #9 with Pink Friday.
