Ciara - Basic Instinct (U Got Me) Video

Ciara goin hard? On this track she goes pretty gangsta and I actually like it.  I'm happy to see Ciara not follow Beyonce and Rihanna completely and take this different route, but let's wait and see what else she has in her arsenal..

Ciara feat Missy Elliot - Work

It's good to see Ciara working with Missy again, and it get's me thinking about if Missy's star power is dead. If you remember 5 years ago it was Missy who was on top of the game, and Ciara was trying to break through. Now its Ciara who has the celebrity status, and Missy has just disappeared from the spotlight. Comeback Missy!

50 Cent vs Southern Music

Ok while I was posting album sales for this week something hit me about 50 Cent. I remember in the past 50 has said that Southern music isn't Hip Hop or stuff along those lines, and also 50 has had a very volatile relationship when it comes to handling topics about the South. Throughout all this stuff 50 has made friends with Ludacris, Trick Daddy, David Banner, and other staples in Southern Hip Hop. So my question to those who hate on 50 because he so called hates the south is this. If 50 hates the south then why would he allow space on his website, Thisis50.com to have a background layout for Paul Wall. Earlier during the year Mike Jones, Ciara, and Bun B had spots in advertising on 50 Cent's website. The logical explaination to this can be that 50 is seeing advertising money from rappers to allow them some web space on his site, but what about those with small budgets? Honestly I think 50 Cent likes music from the South (he has had tracks with Ciara, Lil Flip, Lil Scrappy, and Ludacris) and its the dumbed down music he might hate. If he hates dumbed down music though, then why does he support Soulja Boy.......
