Hip Hop News: Kanye and Amber
Looks like Kanye and Amber are back together. They were seen on the scene at the BET Awards.
Michael Jackson news update from www.mediatakeout.com
Here is what Mediatakeout.com is reporting
MediaTakeOut.com just got hold of the pathology results from Michael Jackson’s SECOND autopsy – performed by the family’s doctor. Here’s what was found – courtesy of the UK’s Sun:
Pathologists found his stomach empty aside from partially-dissolved pills he took before the painkiller injection which stopped his heart. Samples were sent for toxicology tests.
LOST virtually all his hair. The pop pin-up was wearing a wig when he died and pathologists said little more than “peach fuzz” covered his scalp.
A scarred section of skin above his left ear was entirely bald — apparently the result of a 1984 accident when his hair caught fire as he filmed an ad for Pepsi.
SUFFERED several broken ribs as frantic rescuers pumped his chest after he collapsed in cardiac arrest. Four injection sites were found above or near to Jacko’s heart.
All appeared to result from attempts to pump adrenaline directly into the organ in a failed bit to restart it.
Three of the injections had penetrated the heart wall — causing damage — but a fourth missed and hit one of the 50-year-old star’s ribs.
The autopsy also found unexplained BRUISING on Jackson’s knees and on the fronts of both shins. And there were CUTS on his back, indicating a recent fall.
And more:
His hips, thighs and shoulders were riddled with needle wounds — believed to be the result of injections of narcotic painkillers, given three times a day for years.
Questions arise in MJ death
With the death of Michael Jackson so many unanswered questions arise. How did a healthy MJ just have a heart attack. There are rumors now that there was a total of 8 medications in his system. MJ has had long history of using prescription drugs for depression and pain. Was that the cause of his death? Combined with him being underweight many believe this may be true. We will keep you updated when we get more information about the death of MJ.
Hip Hop News: 50 Cent introduces new cologne
Now 50 cent joins the long line of stars that have fragrances, Donald Trump, Beyonce, Michael Jordan and more. 50 cents new fragrance is called "The Power of 50 cent".
Hip Hop News; 50 Cent says his album is almost perfect
"I feel like my album is as close to perfect as it's gonna get," he told MTV. "I'm reaching the point to where if I have to continue to write it, I'll be overkilling it."
While he has previously worked with Timbaland, he added that it's definitely interesting to collab with him. In explaining Timbo's methods, he said Tim would sometimes go in the booth and mumble a melody to which 50 had to rhyme to. This presented an interesting change for his writing process.
"I could put lyrics to any melody. I can write a Rap song, I can write an R&B song, I can write whatever type of song. If you put a note on it where I can hear it, man, I can write that. We did that, and that's how I came up with that new cadence for 'Ayo Technology.' We did that a couple of times while we was on there working [on Before I Self Destruct]. It's fun that way to have him participate with me...Even if you ain't got the words. You're up there, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.' Tim will be like, 'I can't believe that. He was able to make everything I just made a noise into a real cadence.' I seen him take pens or pencils into a cup and put it into a shaker. I'm sure nobody else has shaker sounds like that. ... I seen some interesting things from Timbaland."

Hip Hop News: Is hip hop in a good place right now?
Can you do the Stanky Leg? Well this is where hip hop is right now love it or leave it.
Well, I wanted to basically give my readers a good idea of who actually buys hip hop and why its where it is today. I would have to start by saying that the US population is 72% white, 13% African American and 11% hispanic. The reason why this matters is because music sales will basically be based on population because obviously if there are more white people then they will buy more music than others. Why does this matter to the music biz? Well, since whites are the major consumers of the music then it would be smart from a sales point of view to basically be appealing to young white americans. This is the reason that most of the popular hip hop you hear is becoming less and less gangster. Hip Hop is basically trying to cater to a young white audience. This could be bad for hip hop though because hip hop was the generation that attracted the listeners on its own, we never had to appearl to no one because we brought the audience to us. The marketing strategy changed because hip hop became so commercial. The amount of money hip hop makes today is far greater than years ago but the quality of the music has be changed because now hip hop is so commercial that its presented to kids. Where does the artist that doesn't target kids go, how will they sell records? I think by using variety in the way an artist is marketed will be the best bet for hip hop to survive.
Artists that struggle for attention like Joell Ortiz should get involved with childrens programs and that will bring attention to a younger audience. This will give them the young eyeballs that they need because its all about how many eyeballs are watching you. There are other ways to get a young audience, you don't have to sacrifice your sound for it.
Hip Hop News: Random 50 cent quote
Like everyone else 50 cent is not happy with Interscope. This is what he said about how they are marketing him.
"50 Cent"
"If you don't make a record that can actually play to a certain amount of audience, there is no possibly way you're going to get the marketing dollars necessary from your system to promote the project to the point that you have the huge successful records that I've had. Now I've made enough street material prior to Get Rich Or Die Tryin' for you to forget 'In Da Club' was 'In Da Club.' And then the Curtis album, I didn't make any of that music prior to that album and while other artists chose to sing their entire record, I chose to collaborate with other singers and they said that was the weakest album for me because the hip-hop community feels it's up to me to give them the aggressive content. They don't believe the other guys have experienced any portion of that lifestyle."
Hip Hop News: Luda launching new liquor
Ludacris extends his portfolio to liquor. The custom line, entitled Conjure, will be a joint venture with Kim Hartmann, owner of the Birkedal Hartmann Cognac brand. I love the way hip hop has become such a business and commercial. I think its great for the young people to see rappers like Luda, 50 cent, Jay Z, Diddy and Kanye West work so hard and become so powerful in the business world. I am a student to their accomplishments and work very hard to beat them at every aspect of the game.....lol

Morgan Freeman allegedly gets it in with his granddaughter
www.mediatakeout.com Is reporting that Morgan Freeman was allegedly having sex with his step granddaughter. They are not related by blood but Freeman new her all of her life. Here is some clips of the story.
From www.mediatakeout.com
June 17, 2009. MediaTakeOut.com just caught wind of a STUNNING report. According to the National Enquirer, Morgan Freeman carried on a long-term affair with his step granddaughter (who, while isn’t blood related – has known Morgan all her life). The granddaughter is named E'Dena Hines and she’s 27 now. But according to the report E’Dena and Morgan were having an affair since she was a teenager.
This is crazy – here’s an excerpt:
”[Morgan’s ex-wife] Myrna said E’Dena told her that when she was a teenager, she and Morgan went to dinner at a friend’s house one evening. Both had been drinking, and when they returned home, Morgan attempted to have sex with her.
They stopped just short of having intercourse … E’Dena explained to Myrna that she stopped Morgan from going any further.”
According to the report, which MediaTakeOut.com just got this morning, Myrna confronted Morgan about the affair – and he promised that it wouldn’t happen again. But the affair continued for many years. Here’s more:
E’Dena called Myrna [one day] in tears and “freaking out,” then allegedly blurted:
We had sex when I was in California in his hotel room, and I just can’t handle it anymore.”
E’Dena told Myrna that she’d given Morgan sexy photos of herself as a substitute for his needing to be intimate with her, but that was not enough for Morgan, according to the insider. “Edina said she was trying to get him back to being her grandpa and not her lover.”
Morgan sounds like a very SICK man. But the report goes on – apparently he and his wife Myrna had an open marriage. Here’s what they’re saying about that:
Myrna has admitted that she and Morgan had an “open marriage” and she accepted his relationship with [his mistress] Mary Joyce – until she started to become serious.
“[Myrna] had spoken with Mary Joyce and actually gave her permission to have an affair with her husband” … [Myrna] also admitted to having affairs during the marriage, claiming they were “condoned” and “encouraged” by Morgan.
This is just too much … we’re SPEECHLESS!!!
