Lil? Kim Slams Nicki Minaj with "Black Friday"

It appears that a fierce battle is bubbling up and about to boil over between Nicki Minaj and Lil’ Kim. Minaj has openly praised Lil’ Kim in the past, even going so far as to sample a song that Kim produced years ago. Most people would see this as flattery in the largest sense, as Minaj has since gone on to do her own thing, yet Lil’ Kim seems to be just a bit irked.

Kim released a long-delayed mixtape yesterday, titled Black Friday – a take on Minaj’s recently released full-length record, Pink Friday.

The cover of said mixtape shows Kim in a Kill-Bill-esque scene, with Minaj’s body bloodied in the background, and Minaj’s beheaded, well, head, in the foreground. Kim is seen holding a sword. Pretty obvious what’s going on here.

While most hip-hop mixtapes are released as a free download (asking for an e-mail address at most), Kim’s mixtape is available only for a purchase price of $9.99. The move comes as a surprise; while not all mixtapes are free, initial reports were that Black Friday would be.

Trent Clark, managing editor of The Smoking Section, weighs in: “She’s been out of jail for over five years and…she failed to realize the game has changed. No one is going to (or should be willing to) pay for a tape featuring her taking shots at Nicki Minaj over beats that were around when people bought CD singles.”

Karen Civil, of KarenCivil.com, agrees. “She is beyond delusional, the choices she’s making to get her ‘comeback’ going isn’t working. She needs to spend less time worrying about Nicki and more time finding a ghostwriter to get her got again. She hasn’t released anything relevant or hot in the last few years, so the nerve of this chick to try and charge people $9.99 for her mixtape. If I wanted to buy a whole mixtape about Nicki Minaj, I would just buy the Pink Friday LP again.” Zing!

Check out the two covers: Left is Minaj's Pink Friday, right is Lil Kim's Black Friday.

[ Politics ] Open Question : Does Hawaii have the right idea?

Hawaii lawmakers gave final approval to civil unions Wednesday and sent the legislation to Democratic Gov. Neil Abercrombie, who plans to sign it into law within 10 business days. Civil unions would begin Jan. 1, 2012, making the state the seventh in the nation to grant virtually the same rights of marriage to same-sex couples without authorizing marriage itself. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2011-02-17-hawaii-civil-unions_N.htm I think so. This way everyone can be quiet about the issue. Homosexuals will get their rights and responsibilities and be taxed just the same as married couples but will not be considered married, rather they are considered unionized by the state, thus civil union.

The Secret To Aretha Franklin's Weight Loss

When a vision in ethereal pink magically appeared on the Grammys Sunday night, it took me a few blinks to realize it was actually Aretha Franklin and not a hologram visiting us from her Freeway of Love days. Aretha is now as skinny as one of her old chichi nipples. Aretha continues to deny the pancreatic cancer rumors and tells the Associated Press that the chunk melted off her body the old fashioned way: from diet and exercise. Aretha is no longer catching pigs and chewing their feet off with her bare teeth. Aretha is now getting all her nourishment from Whole Foods.

Wilbur, Tiny and Babe can crawl out of their hiding places, because Aretha says that she has sworn off chitterlings, pig's feet and ham hocks. Aretha puts it like this: "They're off my diet. They just really don't fit with Whole Foods. I had it for enough years that I don't miss it. You can't continue to eat things that are not good for you. When you come off (a high-energy concert), a carrot or some celery just isn't going to work. "I've gotta do a fresh fruit thing ... and come up with some tasty and satisfying recipes that are going to work for me after concerts."

Aretha will triumphantly return to her throne on the stage this May at a concert in Buffalo, NY.

I see you thinking you're a member of the Bionic Six by using your x-ray eyes to look at the girdle band around Aretha's stomach organ. It's not there! If Aretha says she lost an Olsen from nibbling on organic grains and celery leaves, then I believe her (or do I?)! And I'm happier than John Travolta with a hairy ass in front of him that Aretha has her health back, but is she really off ham hocks for good good?! Damn. I guess we'll have to abort our plan of pushing Kim Kardashian in front of Aretha.

Flavor Flav to Head Back to High School in New Reality Show?

Rapper turned reality TV star Flavor Flav is pitching a new project. The 51-year-old high school dropout hopes to star in a new reality show depicting his return to school and the challenges that come with earning a high school diploma later in life. Unlike Flav’s previous reality TV shows, the new program, tentatively titled Flavor Flav Goes Back to High School, is meant to be inspirational.

"I want this show to be able to influence people my age, that if you dropped out of high school when you were young it's never too late to go back to get your diploma" Flav said.

According to various media reports, the former member of Public Enemy approached officials in Clinton, Iowa about shooting the show at the town’s high school. Flav even offered to pay students after class to film the show and promised to encourage kids to stay in school. However, Radio Iowa reports that Clinton educators turned Flavor Flav down.

“He’s very articulate and very bright but at this time and in the future, we will not have Flavor Flav at our high school,” Clinton Schools Superintendent Deb Olson said. “It would cause substantial disruption for our education.”

Flavor Flav recently opened a new fried chicken restaurant in Clinton in case you're wondering why he selected the small town in Iowa.

Fans shouldn't write Flavor Flav’s show off just yet. The rapper is determined to see the project through.

"If not Clinton, it will have to be another school if they let me shoot it there," Flav said. "I'm just looking for a high school to shoot my show in."

Would you watch Flav go back to school?

Milli Vanilli Movie Gains Momentum

The famous lip-synching scandal of 1989 is creeping its way closer to the silver screen. Universal Pictures first announced that a Milli Vanilli movie was being developed back in 2007, but now a new production company and German filmmaker have signed on to move the biopic forward.

The Kennedy/Marshall Company is working with Florian Gallenberger to rewrite and direct the film, which will tell the story of the 80’s pop duo that tumbled from the top after being taunted as talentless frauds.

The story begins in Germany, 1988, when young models / dancers Fabrice Morvan and Robert Pilatus were approached in a club by music producer Frank Farian. He had a pop album ready to be released, but wanted Morvan and Pilatus to be the faces of the group, rather than the real singers themselves.

When the Milli Vanilli album quickly began making musical waves in Europe, Arista Records brought the act to America.

European fans claim it was always well known that Morvan and Pilatus weren’t the actual singers of the group and their lip synching wasn’t shocking. Many still don’t understand why it became such a media frenzy in the States.

Apparently, the international release of the album noted Morvan and Pilatus as visual performers, while the American version credited them for the vocals.

The friends were found to be frauds and never fully recovered. It hit Pilatus the hardest as he struggled with substance abuse and served three months in jail for assault, vandalism, and attempted robbery. On the eve of a potential comeback tour in 1998, Pilatus was found dead in a Frankfurt hotel of a drug overdose.

Jeff Nathanson, screenwriter from Catch Me If You Can, originally secured the cooperation of both Morvan and the estate of Pilatus, and plans to still help produce the film.

Who do you think should be cast as Milli Vanilli? Here's a refresher of some of their greatest hits!
