THE REAL 'HEART OF THE CITY’
April 27, 2008 -- The question isn't why rap's reigning king, Jay-Z, would undertake a real, honest-to-goodness double-bill with Mary J. Blige in a year when his popularity is at an all-time high. It's why the two have never hooked up for a co-headlining tour before.
The two, who are sharing the stage in the most celebrated urban music tour of the year, will play their "Heart of the City" concert on home turf at Madison Square Garden for three nights, starting Friday.
The double bill is a natural because the pair has a long history. Jay's second chart single was a 1996 duet with fresh-faced Mary, then a rising talent who hadn't yet been crowned the queen of hip-hop soul.
So when Mr. Z and Ms. J. step onto the expansive stage at MSG and open the show with that song, "Can't Knock the Hustle," they're doing it to say this is where it all began. Meanwhile, years have passed and the musical flow is still there - as is their friendship.
It isn't the first time Jay-Z has attempted to merge his star power with another hip-hop juggernaut. Three years ago, he and Chicago R&B crooner R. Kelly mounted the "Best of Both Worlds" tour. But when Kelly and Jay-Z played the Garden, the tour imploded.
Kelly claimed concertgoers were waving guns at him while he was performing, making him fear for his life and prompting him to run off the stage, where he was pepper-sprayed.
Jay-Z saved the show by turning that performance into an all-star hip-hop extravaganza in which most of his Roc-A-Fella crew, as well as Foxy Brown and Usher (all there to watch), ended up performing. One of the guest stars who helped keep fans from rioting that night was Blige. That, Jay-Z said, was the genesis of this tour.

8 hair care tips
8 hair care tips
Keep it clean. Most scalp infections and hair problems can be prevented by simply keeping your hair clean.
Get to know your hair. Most people go day to day fighting and trying to tame their hair. Don’t fight it. Get to know it. Invest the time to see what products your hair reacts the best to and what feels right. See how it grows and work with it.
No DIY jobs (do it yourself). The party’s tonight, graduation tomorrow or job interview next week. No matter the occasion, no matter how desperate you get just don’t do it yourself. Most likely if you do it won’t come out the as good and you’ll create more work for your barber next time.
Stick to your barber. Jumping from chair to chair is not good for your hair. Once you find a good barber stick to him like white on rice. After a few cuts he will know your hair’s weaknesses and strengths making him able to do the best job.
Don’t be afraid to fire your barber. Sometimes barbers lose their inspiration after having been cutting you for a while. Always make sure the clippers are properly cleaned and disinfected. If he should use a razor make sure it’s a disposable one and that it was inserted in front of you.
Don’t burden your hair with chemicals. Science has come a long way when it comes to hair products but its not always good to use too many chemicals in your hair. Make sure the products you use are mostly natural and wont damage your hair.
Try something new Sometimes its hard to get out of our routine. Same schedule, same routine, same hairstyle. Try new hairstyles that you think might look good with your style. Trying different hairstyles gives you more options on what you look the best with. Try it and don’t regret it.

Shakira sex tape
A home-made tape could involve Spanish singer-songwriter Alejandro Sanz, Colombian pop diva Shakira and her boyfriend, Antonio de la Rúa, in sexual intercourse together aboard a yacht owned by Sanz. According to Internet portal Infobae.com, the tape is being held by the prosecutors evaluating the case against Carlos González and his wife, Sylvia Alzate, Sanz ex-employees who are accused of extortion against the artist. In a recent interview, Javier Ceriani, host of the radio show "Zona Cero", said "there's word of a private video taped in a yacht, which could involve Alejandro Sanz, Shakira and Antonio de la Rúa, but this material is in the prosecutors' hands". He stated that, according to the prosecutor, "if some of this tape's content would be made public, it could seriously threaten the singer and couple's private life".Vanilla Ice charged with domestic battery
Rapper turned rocker Vanilla Ice was charged with domestic battery for allegedly assaulting his wife last night (April 10).According to South Florida’s Sun-Sentinel, Vanilla Ice, born Robert Van Winkle was originally accused of striking and kicking his wife, Laura Van Winkle during an argument.
Vanilla Ice, 40, told police that he and his wife had been arguing since Wednesday, when he left there house to avoid an altercation.
He returned sometime last night and the married couple fought again.
By the time the police arrived at the Van Winkle’s home, the rapper’s wife told police she did not want any media attention and that he only pushed her.
Vanilla Ice was charged with domestic battery. He denied pushing or striking his wife.

AZ Undeniable
By Felicia J. Barclay
Special contributor to The Shop TV.
If you grew up an 80’s or 90’s baby, you are probably feeling the obvious creative slump in Hip-Hop. Luckily there are some talented newcomers from all markets keeping things fresh as well as those who have been rocking the mic since first day. Case in point Mr. Sosa himself, AZ.
The man behind the classic Nas collaboration “Life’s A Bitch” from Illmatic is back to nourish the game with more knowledge on his latest release Undeniable (Koch). Though he hasn’t earned as much notoriety as his once partner in crime and fellow Firm cohort, he has put out a number of slept on albums and his current project attests that he is very much loyal to his craft and not in it solely for fame and fortune.
The twelve track LP starts off with the laid back “The Game Don’t Stop” and AZ’s signature fluid verses are ever apparent (“The game won’t stop / ‘Til the player get knocked / Or the sh*t flip flop / And you sittin’ on top”). The piano and cymbals carrying the beat takes you back to his single “Pieces Of A (Black) Man” from the album of the same name back in 1998.
The premise of this album is typical for the MC. Laid back mellow beats with story-telling lyrics. On the old school sounding “Life On The Line,” he spits his autobiography and why he’s still in the game.
He makes reference to his former collaborator saying “Nas got rich ain’t reach back, I ain’t riff yet.” With the insinuation that he has no qualms of not being put on at the same level, it’s refreshing not to have to listen to an entire album overshadowed by throwing dirt on anyone else and allowing you to focus on his capacity.
Other notable mentions include the horn intense “What Would You Do” featuring Jay Rush, the melodic “Go Getta” featuring Ray J. Produced by Large Proffesor “The Hardest” featuring Styles P. transcends into a more up-tempo hidden track.
AZ certainly proves with this album, as with previous efforts, that he is very much deserving of the title of one of the greats who hasn’t made it to mainstream superstardom. The younger Hip-Hop generation may not be able to vibe with his choice of melancholy beats, but if they want to hear from an MC whose lexis actually makes a bit of sense, they should definitely take note.
