Blueprint 3 Pushed Back Till 09
The last few months of this year (the 4th quarter) is expected to be huge for the music industry. With releases from Kanye West, 50 Cent, Ludacris and maybe Eminem, there is huge competition. Well, it seems like the competition might be a little less as it looks like Jay-Z’s new album “The Blueprint 3″ wont be hitting stores this year.
After releases the single “Jockin Jay-Z (Dope Boys Fresh” more than two months ago, there still isn’t a video for the song, let alone any news on the album itself. The only confirmed information on the album is that Jigga and Kanye have done a bunch of songs together, it was even rumored that Kanye would be producing the entire album. Well even that rumor seems to be false as when asked if he is working on Jigga’s new album, Pharrell Williams told MTV “Of course,” continuing with only “He don’t like for you to say so much.”

Stat Quo To Leak 400 Dr. Dre and 100 Eminem Tracks!!!
It's been three and a half years since Stat Quo first signed to Eminem's Shady Records and Dr. Dre's Aftermath, yet he still hasn't released an album. Frustrated at waiting added to disagreements over singles, Stat Quo finally decided to leave. Now the Atlanta rapper plans to release all the music he did with Eminem and Dr. Dre.
“All that shit coming out,” he told HipHopDX. “Everything that I done rapped on, everybody gonna hear it. You can quote me on that. Everything that I done rapped on, I don’t care who did the beat…Everything that my voice on that I’ve done over these years with them, everybody gonna hear it. I’m just waiting on the right time to put it out…I’m talking about 300, 400 Dre [tracks]. I’m talking about 100 Em beats I’m spittin’ on…”
Stat Quo recently put out a two part song called "Dear Summer" to explain his Shady/Aftermath story..

Diddy Buys Enyce
Sean “Diddy” Combs added another asset to his expanding clothing empire today (October 21), with the purchase of fashion brand Enyce from Liz Claiborne, Inc.
Enyce, which was founded in 1996, is a denim sportswear line specializing in wovens, knits, outerwear, and graphic tees for men and boys.
Recently, the company also found success through its “Big and Tall” line. Liz Claiborne purchased the brand in 2003.
In an exclusive interview with AllHipHop.com, Combs detailed his plans to expand Enyce’s popularity through the cutting-edge marketing that’s made his various brands a success.
“I remember when Enyce was sold back in 2003 for $114 million,” Combs told AllHipHop.com exclusively. “I was always a fan of the brand from when [founders] Evan Davis, Lando Felix, and Tony Shellman owned it. About a year ago I heard that Liz Claiborne was considering selling it because it wasn’t a good fit for their portfolio. I knew it would be a great opportunity so we began negotiations which took about six months.”
Both Liz Claiborne and Combs have agreed to work extensively with employees, retail partners, and vendors to ensure a smooth transition period.
“We’re going to retool and make it completely different from our Sean John line, which is still the mothership brand,” Combs stated. “But with respect to the economic conditions many face, this offers us the opportunity to supply a quality fashion brand at a lower price point.”
The sale was partly fueled by economic concerns, as Liz Claiborne Chief Executive Officer William McComb revealed that his organization was unable to provide the financial resources to properly market Enyce.
“I’m extremely excited about this purchase, and since my boy Tony Shellman used to own it gives me more motivation to do right by it,” Combs told AllHipHop.com. “And above all, as a black businessman I want to keep inspiring the African-American community to keep moving forward and pursuing opportunities in business. Black entrepreneurship and wealth building is very important to me and I want the youth and everyone to know these goals are attainable to them as well.”
Undeterred by the nation’s recession woes, Combs views the acquisition as another opportunity to be an industry leader in licensing and marketing expansion.
“When we did our field research, we found a lot of people were aware of Enyce and it had a lot of the name recognition that’s missing from most of the brands out there,” Combs revealed. “But what happened was it stopped being marketed, and it fell out of the limelight. It’s our challenge to be innovative in our marketing to reintroduce the brand to the public.”
At press time, the exact sale amount of the Enyce acquisition has not been disclosed.
“When it comes to diversifying our business portfolio, this acquisition is a perfect fit,” Combs disclosed. “Compare it to music where they call me the King of the Remix, we’re going to apply that same approach to the band: ‘remixing’ the sales approach, the brand marketing, and how the product is distributed globally and domestically.”
And Im Just Getting Used To The New Macs
When asked about netbooks during his "special guest" appearance on Apple's quarterly earnings call, at first Steve Jobs seemed pretty down on the whole category, saying that there are "not a lot of them getting sold," and Apple's "entrance into that category" is the iPhone. But then he admitted that Apple is going to "wait and see" how the category evolves and "we've got some pretty interesting ideas if it does evolve." MacBook touch tablet? Wild speculation, go!

Jay Sean Signs With Cash Money!!
Last night, British R&B artist Jay Sean announced that he had inked a deal with Cash Money Records, the label home of Lil' Wayne.
While Sean didn't pick up any honors at last night's MOBOs (Music of Black Origin) -the biggest award show in British urban music - he did have some good news to share backstage. The UK R&B star announced that he had signed a deal with Cash Money/Universal.
During a recent trip to Miami, Jay officially signed with the label and met Wayne and the rest of the Cash Money family. As a result of the deal, Cash Money has exclusive rights to release Jay Sean's most recent album, My Own Way in the United States. His forthcoming albums will also be released by the imprint.
"It's always been a dream for me to sign to an American label," Jay wrote in a blog posted on his official myspace page. "And it's great to be accepted by the best in the game."
Jay Sean already has a collabo with his label mate Weezy in the works and the self-proclaimed "best rapper alive" will be also be dropping a verse on a remix of Jay's upcoming single, "Tonight," which will be featured on a repackaged version of My Own Way.
My Own Way will be released in the United States during the spring of 2009.

Simmons Sisters Get Reality Show
The Sisters-Simmons are getting their own reality show:
They may have moved out of their father’s house, but ‘Run’s House’ fans can expect to see more of the lovely older daughters of Run-DMC rapper Reverend Run when their own reality series gets underway. Angela and Vanessa Simmons revealed to that the new MTV spin-off, will be called ‘Daddy’s Girls,’ and will follow their “lives in L.A. and what’s going on with us,” since making the bi-coastal move from The Big Apple. Expect the new series to showcase the sisters as they evolve their popular ‘Pastry’ shoe and clothing line into another more grown-up brand, in addition to embarking upon other exciting ventures.Over the past few years, MTV viewers have watched Vanessa go from ‘Ford’ model to ‘The Guiding Light’ soap star. She tells us, “[I'm] still doing acting and I’m moving along…I appreciate my process because that’s going to make me stronger in the end and the best talent that I can possibly give the world.” She just began filming a new movie opposite Marques Houston last week. And, while Vanessa locks down the acting roles between the duo, Angela, who serves as executive editor of her own magazine, ‘Angela’s Rundown,’ has her eye on music. She recently dropped a Gwen Stefani-esque song called ‘Center of Attention’ and premiered the video on the official Pastry website. Coincidentally, Angela’s love life has been the center of a lot of her fans attention. People buzzed that she was seeing rapper Bow Wow after appearing in his video for ‘Shortie Like Mine,’ but Angela put all those rumors to rest when she began publicly dating pro skateboarder Terry Kennedy.

Macbook And Macbook Air Gets Love Too
Following the introduction of the juicy new MacBook Pro, Mr. Jobs went on to cover the MacBook Air and MacBook. Firstly, the MacBook Air will be getting the exact treatment we told you about earlier today - with the addition of a mini display port. The 9400M will be in there and two versions will be available; a 120 GB HDD for $1799 and a 128 GB SSD for $2499. More importantly, Stevo dropped the new MacBook on us as expected. Just like the MacBook Pro, the new MacBook will feature the juiced up NVIDIA GPU, the glass trackpad, the backlit keyboard and about 5 hours of battery life.
$999 - Old white plastic model, whatever
$1299 - 13.3-inch display, 2GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB of RAM, 160GB HDD, Superdrive
$1599 - 13.3-inch display, 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB of RAM, 250GB HDD, Superdrive
The new MacBooks are shipping out today and should be in stores tomorrow. Recession be damned, get your credit cards ready people.
And Here It Is!!!!!!!!! The New Macbook Pro
Precision aluminum. The new gold standard.
Carved from a single block of aluminum, the new MacBook Pro unibody enclosure is slim and streamlined with a soft-brushed surface and stunning contours. But it’s not all about beauty. The unibody also makes MacBook Pro more durable than ever. You can throw it in your briefcase or messenger bag and pull it out at an airport, in a hotel room, or on location without a second thought. So wherever you go, you have everything you need to edit, compose, design, and create
Brilliant brilliance.
The moment you open your MacBook Pro you’re greeted by glorious, full screen brightness. But that’s only one gleaming quality of the glossy LED-backlit widescreen display. The picture is brilliant and sharp from corner to corner. And anything you view — including the ultrathin display itself — is a spectacular experience. The seamless glass enclosure makes this display stronger and more durable. It’s more power efficient and mercury- and arsenic-free, so it’s greener than ever.
Graphics in full force.
The new MacBook Pro reaches a new level of high-speed, high-end game-playing power. Not to mention pure performance for graphics-intensive applications like Aperture and Motion. Use the new NVIDIA GeForce 9400M integrated graphics processor for great everyday performance with up to five hours of battery life.1 Or switch to the discrete NVIDIA 9600M GT graphics processor for the fastest, smoothest, clearest graphics yet.
Even the keyboard is advanced.
The rigid aluminum keyboard webbing has been cut precisely to hold the keys. And the keys are curved to perfectly fit fingers. The result? Pure typing bliss. The keyboard is also illuminated, so when you’re in low-light settings, such as airplanes or conference rooms, you can always see what you’re typing.
It all just clicks.
The first thing you might notice — or not notice — is the missing click button. Now the entire trackpad is the button, so you can click anywhere. Without a separate button, your hands have 39 percent more room to move on the large, silky glass surface. Use two fingers to scroll up and down a page. Pinch to zoom in and out. Rotate an image with your fingertips. Swipe with three fingers to flip through your photo libraries. Swipe with four fingers to show your desktop, view all open windows, or switch applications. If you’re coming from a right-click world, you can right-click with two fingers or configure a right-click area on the trackpad. The more you use the Multi-Touch trackpad, the more you’ll wonder what you ever did without it.
Everything fits.
MacBook Pro has a hard drive up to 320GB2 and up to 4GB of RAM. So there’s plenty of room for your photo libraries, video projects, and files. With faster 1066MHz DDR3 memory, you can run more applications at once and instantly access even more of your stuff. Burn everything you watch, listen to, or create onto DVDs using the ultrafast 8x SuperDrive.
Ports with possibilities.
MacBook Pro is iPod, iPhone, digital camera, and external hard drive ready. If it has a cable, there’s a place for it. You’ll find two USB 2.0 ports and a FireWire 800 port for connecting faster peripherals. The Mini DisplayPort is a perfect fit for the new Apple LED Cinema Display. MacBook Pro even understands what you plug in, so you don’t have to install new drivers.
Think fast.
Inside the new MacBook Pro is the latest Intel Core 2 Duo processor running at speeds up to 2.8GHz. It’s based on groundbreaking 45-nm process technology and advanced Core microarchitecture. With the 1066MHz frontside bus and up to 6MB of shared L2 cache, MacBook Pro runs applications faster and more efficiently than ever before.

Jim Jones Talks Greasy Again
So, Cam selling Juelz contract for $2 million is false?
He made some money off the transaction. But this ain’t slavery. Ain’t nobody sell nobody. That’s the difference.
A lot of people were surprised with your comments to Complex regarding T.I.
People took it the wrong way. I wasn’t really deliberately doing nothing to knock T.I. I was just saying what I felt regarding swagger and who sets the precedent for it. I know for sure that people have said, "Yo, you looking like Jim Jones. I’m trying to get that 'Jim Jones' look." But I haven’t heard people saying you’re looking like T.I. or whoever. Where I’m from, n****s don’t run to go look like no Kanye. I don’t hear n****s in the ‘hood like I need to get that jacket Jay had on.
Have you seen T.I.’s clothing line, AKOO?
I haven’t seen it. I seen an ad and his jeans look like some Pepe Jeans. But that’s another story. I ain’t mad at nobody in this bulls**t game.
Do you think the press misconstrued your comments regarding T.I.?
I don’t care what the press did. They misconstrued it or they got it right. You can take it how the f*ck n*gg*s wanna take it. I suggest they take it in f*ck*ng stride.
News On 50 Cent's Movie Before I Self Destruct
New York-based rapper 50 Cent will wear two hats as he prepares to give fans something to hear and see with his forthcoming album and DVD, both titled Before I Self Destruct.
The Shady/Aftermath/Interscope CD will include the Scott Storch-produced lead single “Get Up” as well as contributions from Dr. Dre and Eminem, who will serve as producers and guests on the project.
According to 50 Cent, he wrote much of the material found on the Before I Self Destruct album, which is described as a darker and harder musical offering than 50 Cent’s previous effort, Curtis.
The 2007 release, which included the hit singles “I Get Money” and “Ayo Technology,” reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts, selling more than five million copies worldwide.
In addition to new music, fans will be treated to a Before I Self Destruct DVD helmed by 50 Cent that will be included with the CD.
The rapper wrote, directed and starred in the 90-minute original feature-length film, which is a coming of age story centering on an inner city youth raised by a hardworking single mother.
“There will be some who will greatly identify with the characters and the situations presented and then there will be others who may be shocked at the struggles that go on in the inner city,” 50 Cent said of the feature, which marks his directorial debut. "I made the film for both groups."
50 Cent portrays Clarence, an aspiring basketball player who ends up working in a supermarket after his dreams of playing basketball fail to come to fruition.
After his mother is tragically gunned down, Clarence becomes consumed by revenge and takes up a life of crime to support his younger brother.
According to 50 Cent, the film version of Before I Self Destruct “captures the harsh realities that reflect so many communities today.”
The Before I Self Destruct movie follows 50 Cent’s previous movie outing with Hollywood icons Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino in Righteous Kill as well as his 2005 film debut in the semi-autobiographical Get Rich Or Die Tryin.’
50 Cent’s Before I Self Destruct album and DVD are slated to hit stores Dec. 9.
New Macbook Being Announced Today
Here is pics and details from a few sites that claim they have inside info.
Engadget posts two photos of what appears to be the new MacBook Pro. The new Macbook Pro has a black bezel similar to the iMac. Also, of note is that there are no buttons on the MacBook Pro trackpad, indicating the use of a "tap" system instead.
Here are the part numbers and prices into what we believe is the most likely breakdown, though we are adding our own speculation into the raw numbers:
- K29, MB382LL/A $899.00 - MacBook? LED Apple Display?
- M97, MB466LL/A $1,299.00 - MacBook
- M97, MB467LL/A $1,599.00 - MacBook
- M96, MB543LL/A $1,799.00 - MacBook Air
- M96, MB940LL/A $2,499.00 - MacBook Air
- M98, MB470LL/A $1,999.00 - 15" MacBook Pro
- M98, MB471LL/A $2,499.00 - 15" MacBook Pro
- M88, MB766LL/A $2,799.00 - 17" MacBook Pro
Specifically, Gruber confirms that the new MacBook Pros will have "buttonless" trackpad which is made of glass. However, it appears the entire trackpad is one large button:
The new trackpad is similar to the Air’s, in that it is bigger and supports additional multi-touch gestures. But unlike the Air’s, the MacBook Pro’s new trackpad is made of glass, and is a button itself. You just press and it clicks.

LIL' KIM & FOXY BROWN DROPPING ALBUMS ON THE SAME DAY?
Info from Sohh.com
Remember this picture from ten years ago? It's one of a small few back when Fox and Kim were friends. The two dueling rappers have been bitter enemies for quite some time now, but could their be a reunion -esque situation developing between the former "Queens" of hip-hop?
The rap rivals could be taking a cue from Kanye West and 50 Cent. There's a new rumor out that both rappers are mulling over the idea of dropping both their highly anticipated albums on the same day to drum up sales.
While no details have been revealed about the idea, my source is telling me that the notion hasn't been rejected by either camps.
Both artists are feverishly at work on their respective projects so this might not be such a bad idea. They both need publicity and this seems as good of a time as any to get it.

R.I.P. Alton Ellis
Reggae star Alton Ellis, known as "the Godfather of rocksteady", has died at the age of 70.
The Jamaican-born singer, who moved to Britain in the 1970s, achieved fame with a number of hits, including I'm Still in Love and I'm Just a Guy.
He was a leading pioneer of the more laid-back "rocksteady" sound, which came out of Jamaica in the 1960s.
Ellis was still performing until August this year, when he collapsed after a concert in central London.
His manager and agent Trish De Rosa described him as "my guiding star and my inspiration".
"His life was the music and the stage," she said. "He was getting a tremendous amount of work right up to the end - it was very difficult to get him to slow down."
The Jamaican authorities are considering giving Ellis a state funeral, Ms De Rosa added.
The prolific singer, who began his career in the 1950s and fronted vocal group The Flames, was diagnosed with cancer in 2007.
Ellis underwent chemotherapy before returning to the stage, but died in London's Hammersmith hospital on Friday night.
He leaves more than 20 children.

Likely Feature List of New MacBooks
This is guesswork, but here’s the likely feature list of the new MacBooks due October 14:
* Penryn Core 2 Duo chips: 2.4GHz, 2.66GHz, 2.8GHz, and 3.06GHz.
* 2GB of RAM (MacBook); 4GB of RAM (MacBook Pro).
* Hard drives: 160GB — 320GB.
* Glossy widescreen TFT screens. On the MacBook: 13.3-inch (1,280×800 resolution); MacBook Pro: 13.8-inch (1,366×768).
* Integrated NVIDIA graphics system.
* New, all-aluminum enclosures, white, black and silver. (Would love to see multiple colors, but think its unlikely — it’s an inventory nightmare, especially for high-priced products).
* Enclosure is tapered: very thin at the sides, thicker inthe middle, like the iPhone 3G and MacBook Air.
* Magnetic lid latch on all models (replacing mechanical clasps on the MacBook Pro).
* All ports on left side — including FireWire 800.
* Slot-loading optical drive on right (no Blu-ray).
* Extra-large battery pack running full width of computer at the front, under the touchpad.
* Recessed keypad like MacBook Air. Keys are Chicklet style on MacBooks, black and backlight on Pros.
* Price: Starting at $800. This is the mysterious “product transition” that Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer said in July would impact Apple’s gross margins.
“We will be delivering state-of-the-art new products that I cannot discuss today that our competitors will not be able to match,” Oppenheimer said during the Q308 conference call.

I KNEW IT!!!!
Well, it looks like those who have been skeptical with regards to a new breed of Apple laptops coming next week are now silenced. Whether or not the flurry of leaked Brick images are real, Apple has indeed sent out a round of press invites to a special Town Hall event that will be held in San Francisco on Tuesday, October 14. “The spotlight turns to notebooks,” as stated in the invitation, pretty much eliminates any mystery as to the subject of next Tuesday’s event and solidifies the rumor that a refresh is coming. Will the new MacBook cases be constructed of aluminum like the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air? Will a new fourth Apple notebook model be introduced? Will we really see an entry price point of $800? Will Jobs have gained some weight back? Will the phrase “my Mac is bricked” no longer have a negative connotation? We shall see…
Beyonce FINALLY Speaks About The Wedding
After remaining tight-lipped about her marriage, Beyonce is at last speaking out about her wedding to Jay-Z.
"What Jay and I have is real. It's not about interviews or getting the right photo op. It's real," Beyonce told Essence magazine in its November issue.
The singer says she did not want an engagement ring.
"People put too much emphasis on that," she told the mag. "It's just material and it's just silly to me."
According to Essence, the R&B superstar wears a band over a tattoo of the Roman numeral IV, which is significant because both Beyonce and Jay-Z were born on the fourth day of the month and they were married on April 4.
The couple chose to have a small ceremony because Beyonce said she is not a "traditional woman."
"It's been my day so many days already," she added.
I Guess She Is Not That Good At Dodge Ball Lol!!!!!

Travis Barker Gives His FIRST Interview Since His Plane Crash
Here’s what the rocker recently told US Weekly in an interview he gave while still in the hospital after the private jet crash that left Pilot Sarah Lemmon (31), co-pilot James Bland (52), security guard Charles Still (25), of Los Angeles, and Barker’s assistant Chris ‘Lil Chris’ Baker (29) dead:
“I hate planes…My biggest fear ever is to be involved in a plane crash, so when that happened… well, I’m just thankful to be alive. I’m just grateful to be here at all. I’m so anxious to get out of here…I’ve just been in surgery after surgery. I have third degree burns basically from my feet up to my waist and both hands. One of my hands was second degree burns and one was third degree burns…I’m trying to have a quick recovery and play the drums again and be able to hold my kids again.”
And on stopping being a vegetarian after 25 years:
“I need protein from food rather than just protein supplements. I changed my diet…I would do anything I possibly could if they said like ‘There’s a possibility you might heal faster if you do eat meat or just change your eating habits.’ So I did. I don’t regret it at all.”

Eminem Voted Best Rapper Alive
VIBE has today announced Eminem as the winner of the Best Rapper Alive competition. The Detroit native beat out New York’s rap king Jay-Z in the Final Round with 69 percent of the votes, crowning him as the people’s choice for the true king of hip hop. The results of the contest are detailed in VIBE’s November 2008 issue hitting newsstands October 21st.
“It’s obviously an honor to have won the fans’ support by being voted the Best Rapper Alive,” says Eminem in response to his victory. “I don’t think that there is any one rapper that is simply the best though. Everyone who was in consideration and many others are the best at certain things, and at what they do. But since Vibe’s offering the distinction, hell yeah I’ll accept!”
World's 4th Richest Man Loses $28 Billion OUCH!!!
Indian steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal, 58, the richest man in Europe and the 4th richest man in the world, can now be known as the world's biggest loser after his net worth plummeted by a whopping $28 billion over the last four months due to the global financial crisis.
Mittal, a London resident who paid a record $200 million for a Georgian mansion in Kensington Palace Gardens earlier this year, still has $17 billion left, the London Times reports.
We don't yet know how Mittal's stunning loss - which equates to $240 million / day or nearly $10 million per hour - re-positions him on the world's rich list as several other plutocrats have also suffered reversals, but it's safe to say he'll end up much further down unless the stock market recovers soon.
Man Shot In London For Wearing Obama T-Shirt
A man told today how he was shot three times in a London street for wearing a Barack Obama T-shirt.
Dube Egwuatu was buying a mobile telephone top-up card in an off-licence when the gunman confronted him and glared at the top, which carries an image of the Democrat US presidential candidate underneath the legend 'Believe'.
The man then launched into a tirade of racist slurs, shouting 'I f***ing hate n*****s' and urging 36-year-old Mr Egwuatu to leave the shop with him
The man then left the shop but when Mr Egwuatu re-emerged, the attacker was waiting for him in broad daylight with a threatening-looking dog and holding a gun behind his back.
Realising what had sparked the increasingly violent assault, the terrified Mr Egwuatu zipped up his jacket to cover the image of Mr Obama and walked to his car.
But the shaven-headed man, who was white, followed Mr Egwuatu and after pulling open the passenger door pointed the gun at him.
After pleading with the man to leave him alone, the married former street warden put the keys in the ignition and turned the engine on.
The attacker then fired the gas-powered ball-bearing pistol three times, hitting the civil servant in the face, hand and shoulder.
Fearing for his life and bleeding heavily, Mr Egwuatu raced away in his car and found somewhere safe to call for help.
He was taken to hospital and later sent to have a piece of metal removed from his jaw.
Mr Egwuatu, a data analyst with Croydon Council, said: 'The venom in his voice was frightening.
'He was telling me that he was going to kill me.
'I couldn't believe it was happening - and just because I was wearing an Obama T-shirt. He was trying to make me walk somewhere quieter, saying: 'I've got something for you,' and 'I'm going to kill you.'
He added: 'Obama inspires me, his educational track record alone is quite unbelievable - that is why I was wearing the T-shirt.
'I did not think for one minute it could stir up such powerful feelings of hatred and I never said a word to him.'
Mr Egwuatu's wife, Angela, 35, said neither of them had experienced anything like it during their childhood in Nigeria.
Police searched a nearby house - the attack took place in South Norwood - which the attacker was seen going into.
No one has been arrested.

Beyonce, who has been giving us a little information about her new project, dropping on the 18th of November, has already begun plans for a tour in 2009 for the new album. The artist will play international dates next spring, followed by a North American tour in early summer.
Beyonce has yet to release her singles, “If I Were A Boy” and “Single Ladies,” but she’s shot videos for both - and both were directed by Jake Nava. The songs will impact radio October 14th, while the videos will finally premiere later on in the month.
The artist will perform one of the new singles Nov. 6 as part of the MTV Europe Music Awards in Liverpool, England.
Also in the works is a Beyonce AOL Sessions and a deluxe edition of the album, also due Nov. 18, featuring as-yet-unannounced bonus tracks.

According to his blog on ESPN.com, the rapper is in the studio working on the new project, as well as a new mixtape. The new mixtape, Dedication 3, will fall under DJ Drama’s “Gangsta Grillz” series and “you can expect it real soon,” Wayne says.
He also says that he’ll rerelease it with 20 extra songs for free on his website.
In addition, Lil’ Wayne is also collaborating with T-Pain for a highly anticipated duet album, T-Wayne” which is slated for 2009 release.

Akon Wants to Break Dizzy In The U.S.
It seems Akon is on a one- man mission to promote grime around the world.
The Senegalese star recently signed Sway to his Kon Live record label and now he’s been talking about another UK rapper.
He told the Daily Star: “Dizzee is dope. I really like him. I think that whole grime sound, if it ever breaks outside the UK, is going to be huge, it’s so new and fresh.”
Akon added: “I want to be the one to bring it over to the US and one way would be to get Dizzee on my album. Give him my number!”
That the Locked Up singer wants to launch the ‘Rascal in the US will be news to his stateside label Def Jux.
They released Maths And English in April this year. At least UK artists are getting the recognition they deserve though!
