Preview of NaS’ What It Is Produced by DJ Khalil
The Carter III Preview
“Lollipop”
“I’m not a lollipop rapper,” Wayne told us, by way of introducing this song as the radio single, “but this track is cold.” It’s one of many new Wayne songs to feature T-Pain/Roger Troutman vocoder singing effects and it transcends its boner-as-blow-pop conceit on the force of its strangeness: Wayne’s singing isn’t just a run through the T-Wayne ProTools patch, it’s chopped up and layered over itself in a dense, alien collage. It actually de-naturalizes the vocoder gimmick, which is as common as high-hats nowadays. “Dudes are gonna hate this one,” he said. “Ugly dudes, that is.”
Hopefully all his tracks won’t leak.

McFadden created a major buzz at the NFL scouting combine when he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.27 seconds on Sunday.

Dozens hurt in Georgia sugar refinery explosion
CNN Reports dozens of people were injured — many of them critically — in an explosion at a sugar refinery near Savannah, Georgia, Thursday evening, law enforcement and medical officials said.
The blast, at Imperial Sugar in Port Wentworth, happened shortly after 7 p.m.
Georgia Emergency Management Agency spokesman Buzz Weiss said hospitals were told to prepare for as many as 100 casualties from the explosion.
By just after 11 p.m., about 40 workers from the plant were being treated at area hospitals, according to Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department Chief Michael Berkow.
Search efforts were ongoing for another 6 workers believe to be still missing inside the plant, he said.
There were no immediate reports of fatalities.
“It was like walking into hell,” said Joyce Baker, who was with her husband, a Port Wentworth police officer, at a meeting at nearby City Hall, at the time of the explosion.
Savannah Fire Department officials said they were still fighting the fire at the plant after 11 p.m. — using a tug boat to blast water onto the blaze from the Savannah River.

The “Mary J. Blige & JAY-Z: Heart of the City” tour is the pinnacle of Mary and Jay’s long-time collaboration which began in 1996 with the classic “Can’t Knock The Hustle.” The multi-Grammy award winning powerhouses are two of the most successful artists of our time whose influence stretch far beyond any musical borders.
This will be JAY-Z’s first arena tour since his successful JAY-Z and Friends Tour in 2004 and the first to feature material from his 2006 Kingdom Come album and 2007’s critically acclaimed American Gangster album. A multiple Grammy, American Music Award and VMA award winner, JAY-Z has continued to set the bar for all artists and entrepreneurs. Co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records, he currently is the president of Rocawear, part owner of the New Jersey Nets and co-owner of the successful 40/40 chain. Most recently, Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter held the title of President of Def Jam Records where he helped guide the careers of superstar artists and multiple Grammy nominees such as Rihanna, Ne-Yo, NAS, Kanye West and Young Jeezy.
Mary J. Blige is a truly iconic artist whose longevity in the music business is a rarity. Her 8th and current studio album, Growing Pains (released 12/18 on Matriarch/Geffen), reached platinum in three weeks and is grabbing the hearts of the critics and fans alike. People magazine says, “There are three things you can count on: death, taxes and good Mary J. Blige albums.”
A six-time Grammy Award winner, Mary has won more than 25 awards in all, including NAACP Awards, American Music Awards, Billboard Awards, BET Awards, MTV’s Video Music Awards, Soul Train Awards and more. Over the span of her 15-year career, Mary has blessed us with 8 platinum and multi-platinum studio albums (she released a live album in 1998 and a greatest hits album in 2005 both to critical acclaim and incredible sales) selling more than 40 million copies worldwide. With every album she has proven that hers is a voice of healing; a voice of reckoning.
