Ms. Hill Says It All..
But you'd rather make it hard
Loving you is like a battle
and we both end up with scars
Tell me, who i have to be
To get some reciprocity
No one loves you more than me
and no one ever will
Is this just a silly game?
That forces you to act this way
Forces you to scream my name
Then pretend that you can't stay
Tell me, who i have to be
To get some reciprocity
See no one loves you more than me and no one ever will.
No matter how i think we grow
You always seem to let me know
It ain't workin'
It ain't workin'
and when i try to walk away
You hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy
This is crazy
I keep letting you back in
How can i explain myself
As painful as this thing has been
I just can't be with no one else
See i know what we have got to do
You let go and i'll let go too
Cause no one's hurt me more than you
and no one ever will
No matter how I think we grow
You always seem to let me know
It ain't workin'
It ain't workin'
And when i try to walk away
You hurt yourself to make me stay...

1 beer turned into 100... OOPS.
A phone listing for Kobierowski could not be found, and he did not have a lawyer in court Tuesday. Kobierowski, 34, of North Providence, was arrested after he drove into a highway message board on Interstate 95 in Providence, O'Donnell said.
After police arrived, Kobierowski had trouble getting out of the car, then grabbed it and refused to move, forcing troopers to carry him to the breakdown lane before taking him back to their barracks, O'Donnell said.
A breath test showed blood alcohol readings of 0.489 percent, followed by 0.491, O'Donnell said, the highest readings state officials could remember for someone who didn't end up dead.The legal limit in Rhode Island is 0.08. A level of 0.30 is classified as stupor, 0.4 is comatose and 0.5 is considered fatal, according to the health department.

Illa & Dilla...
“Dilla was twelve years older than me,” Illa J explained to AllHipHop.com. “So back in the day in Detroit I was just a little kid, sitting on the stairs in our house, watching him make those first beats for Slum Village. So I always felt my brother’s tracks and had an instinct for what I wanted to do over them.”
J Dilla passed away in February 2006 due to complications from lupus, leaving behind an extraordinary collection of unused beats. The unreleased tracks date from Dilla’s time working on Pharcyde’s sophomore LP Labcabincalifornia in 1995 through 1998. Delicious Vinyl founder Michael Ross elaborated on how the pieces came into Illa J’s possession.
“From ’95 through ’98 Jay Dee was my go-to guy for hot beats and remixes. He was always making beats, always,” Ross detailed. “So there was a select amount of tracks that he composed for me during that time, only they never got used. When I finally met Illa J last year, I gave him a CD containing those unreleased beats.”
The timing worked in Illa’s favor, as the fledgling musician had just relocated to Los Angeles and built his own studio. With his older brother’s lost recordings, he began crafting his own unique sound with Dilla’s recording equipment. Through this process, Illa J feels his brother has imparted more life lessons to him from beyond the grave.
“One of the things I learned from my brother is that you don’t get that much time, so make the most of it,” Illa Jay reflected. “That’s why I’ve decided to dedicate my life to doing what I love: music. To work with Mike and Delicious Vinyl, that label that released those hits my brother made with The Pharcyde [‘Runnin’,’ ‘Drop‘] is really special.” Ross wholeheartedly agrees, and further elaborates on a spiritual, higher purpose he sees in the musical legacy of Jay Dee and Illa J’s potential as a new artist.
“Illa J can write, sing, play and rap. Not just a little bit of each-he’s really the total package, Ross stated excitedly. “And anyone who loves Jay Dee’s music is going to flip out when they hear what his younger brother’s been laying down. For over a decade these beats have been waiting in the vault for this moment. It’s like Jay Dee made these tracks with an extrasensory purpose, so that Illa J could make this album. There is no question that is exactly what they were meant for. These beats belong to Illa J, they’re his birthright, and I really believe Jay Dee would be proud of what his brother is doing.”
A set release date has not been confirmed at press time.

Cant Wait For This.. Haha
Peekaboo, a company that specializes in temporary at-home stripper polls, including one endorsed by Carmen Electra, announced this week that it's developing a strip aerobics game for the Wii.
"Peekaboo is pleased to confirm that it is in talks to develop a game for the Nintendo Wii that meets mainstream demand for the fun and fitness benefits of pole dancing," the company said in an e-mailed statement. "Peekaboo and its partners are focused on using Wii-friendly hardware to make aerobic pole dancing instantly accessible just as 'Guitar Hero' did for rock'n'roll."
Electra will not be involved in the game, according to the company.
"It would be natural for the platform. … That's the Wii's strength," said Rob Enderle, a Silicon Valley analyst. "If you wanted to create a stripper poll game, this would be the system you'd target."

M.I.A Retiring? Say It Aint So..
After cancelling her European tour last week (beg09Jun08) due to exhaustion, the Galang hitmaker took to the stage at the Bonnaroo Music + Arts Festival on Friday (13Jun08) and told fans it was her final show.
Three times during her set at the Tennessee festival, M.I.A. said "This is my last show," adding at one point, "... and I'm glad that I'm spending it with all my hippies!"
Midway through her high-energy set, fans climbed over barriers at the front of the audience to join M.I.A. onstage, where they stayed for much of the rest of her set.
After the devotees were kicked off, M.I.A. closed her gig with hit Paper Planes and ended her performance by stating, "Thanks for coming to my last gig."
M.I.A., real name Mathangi Arulpragasam, has been a cult live act since 2004 when her first releases turned her into a controversial star.
She has put out two critically acclaimed albums, Arular and Kala - which was named Album of 2007 by both Rolling Stone and Blender. M.I.A. has been nominated for two Shortlist Music Prize honours and was on the shortlist for the 2005 Mercury Music Prize in her native Britain.

Weezy Has A Penis On His Forehead..
Tha Carter III is easily the best selling first week of the year, according to Nielsen SoundScan figures. Even Kanye West's Graduation didn't eclipse that mark in its first week last year (though it was only about 50,000 copies short).
A prolific rapper who's been ubiquitous on the mixtape scene and on other acts' records, Lil Wayne is generally regarded as one of rap's most gifted performers — but he's never had a multiplatinum album. His last two albums, Tha Carter and Tha Carter II, sold 1.1 million and 1.4 million copies, respectively. Tha Carter III was anticipated as the CD that would send the New Orleans rapper into superstardom.
Already, he's had a No. 1 smash for several weeks — the sexually explicit Lollipop— and has been featured on numerous hits over the past year, including the recent remix to Usher's Love in This Club.
In a slumping industry where selling 200,000 albums in one week is becoming a rare feat, Lil Wayne's achievement is not only a triumph but a much-needed boost — the last CD to sell 1 million or more in its first week was 50 Cent's The Massacre in 2005.
