Bey' Is Back To Business

Jay Z is a ride or die for his Boo Bey. Just over a month after Beyonce gave birth to Blue Ivy she says "I'm ready to get back to what I was born to do". So the Jigga man went to work for his number one client and wife. Beyonce is managed by Roc Nation/Live Nation. Jay is in the process of lining up a tour for Bey worth $150 Million, that sh*t cray! Shouts out to Beyonce for bouncing back so quickly and already going in. What I want to see next is a new DC album and tour including Latoya Luckett just like New Edition is doing. That would be dope!! Beyonce is already confirmed to perform 2 shows in Atlantic City at the Revel beachfront resort on Memorial Day weekend.

Bow Wow Broke???

Now just last week, we reported that BW is being sued for not paying his tour bus bill and his taxes. How in the hell is he on camera bragging about having stacks and eating but he got all of these money problems. To make matters worse, he is on one hell of a tour bus and we can only wonder if that company got paid either. I'm glad to see my people get money but we do the most ridiculous things and act like the victim when it all goes wrong. I fault bad parenting. You gotta give them a foundation and some common sense to leave the nest with. Check out Bow Wizzle in his webisode.

Comedy Concert of The Decade

This could simply be a rumor but it's so hot we have to talk about it. This has been the year of the super groups The Throne (Kanye & Jay), Nas & Com (Nas.Com), The Bedrock Boyz (Red Cafe & Fabolous) and potentially Drake & Wayne by years end. Now comedy is possibly picking up on the super group concept. It is a big rumor that Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock are going on tour together. That would be amazing and sold out everywhere they'd go. I don't wanna get too excited because it all seems like rumors right now. What would you call their group Rock Chappelle, CNR, DNC? What could be better Eddie Murphy and the Wayans Clan?

Oh Me So ...Healthy?

Did I hear this right? The man once banned from the radio, and from performing in several venues has been asked to be a spokesman for a medical product? WTH is that? Mr. Pop That Coochie is promoting a medical product. What. medical marijuana? What does Luther Campbell know about anything medicinal and legal? It seems to me like a wrong fit but the company says they feel he is the right candidate for the Executive Spokesman for Progressive Care Inc. Luke has been involved with HIV/AIDS activism in the Southern Florida region. Progressive Care will be opening new care facilities in Opa Locka and Miami with a focus on HIV/AIDS treatment and care. Maybe he'll do better than we think. Although, Uncle Luke is not exactly the first person most people would think of as serious advocate for any medical company. Hopefully it's all for the right reasons. 2 Live Crew just announced that they are back together and will be touring this year. Seriously, I am glad he is stepping up to the call. Salute Uncle Luke. #PopThatPrescription
