Michael Jackson and Akon Holding Hands

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


Michael Jackson and AkonNot really, but that’s the way it sounds. Akon joined forces with pop legend Michael Jackson in a song titled “Hold My Hand.” The song will be released on Akon’s third album, which at this point is untitled. Akon told MTV News that working with MJ was, “A dream come true.” He also went on to say:

“Just to be in the same room, I felt everything I wanted to accomplish in life has been achieved,” Akon said. “That aura … that’s how incredible that aura is. We about to shake the world up, man. You know how you be with somebody and you can’t even explain? I used to sit and think, ‘How does somebody sell so many records and dominate a whole business genre to a point nobody can’t be a part of that without associating with you?’ The way he thinks … some artists think regional, some think national, I was thinking international. He thinks planets. It’s on another level.”

We are not insinuating anything, but given Jackson’s past we are getting a giggle out of this. With lyrics like: “We’re better off being together than being miserable alone” and “Nothing can come between us if you just hold my hand,” can you blame us? Both entertainers have a questionable past when it comes to underage sexual acts, so if they are holding hands at least they’re both of age. We’re just playing, but they could have come up with a better title.

Paying For Death Row

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


Death Row Suge KnightLegendary Death Row Records has been auctioned to Susan Berg for a cool $24 million. This came after Suge Knight was forced to file for bankruptcy in 2005 after a lawsuit required him to pay former partner Lydia Harris $107 million in profits owed. Berg now controls all recordings from Death Row including artists like Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and the late great Tupac Shakur. She also acquired 20 unreleased Tupac songs. Lucky!!

Dr. Dre and Afeni Shakur were in fights for the rights of songs by Dre and Tupac, but have yet to comment on the way things will go with new owner Berg. Death Row Records has been home to some of hip hop’s greatest albums like Dr. Dre’s The Chronic, Snoop Dogg’s Doggystyle. Great music came from Death Row and hopefully with Suge out of the way it can get back to where it was.
