Alicia Keys comes between Swizz Beatz and Mashonda?
Swizz's latest beats are not the hip hop kind that make you bounce bounce on the dance floor. They are rife with tabloid scandal and controversy! The latest rumor says that Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz (sometimes misspelled as Swiss Beats) are having an affair, and that their relationship led to Swizz' separation with his wife Mashonda. But this can be expected of always glamorous, always naughty entertainment industry.
Is it true?
"I can no longer ignore the harmful rumors, that my friend Alicia Keys is in any way linked to my marital circumstances or to the decision that [my wife] Mashonda and I have made to separate," Beatz, Grammy Award-winning producer, tells Us Magazine.
So there you have it ...

T.I. Gives You Whatever You Like
T.I.'s hit, Whatever You Like was produced by Jim Jonsin, the producer of Lil' Wayne's recent hit single Lollipop. Jonsin uses similar synthesizers, drum patterns, and a straightforward beat in both hits. I guess his formula works, and it doesn't hurt that both Lollipop and Whatever You Like have sexy lyrics too!
And we can pop bottles all night
Baby you can have whatever you like
I said you can have whatever you like
Yeah
... then the song goes on to describe some interesting things that can be done late at night :)

Looking for Nas' Hero
The first single from Nas' upcoming "Untitled" LP is out: 'Hero,' featuring Keri Hilson, and produced by Polow Da Don.
If you check out the chorus, you'll see that once again Nas is sticking with more thought provoking subjects ... setting him apart from his more playful colleague and hitmaker, Lil Wayne.
Chain gleaming
Switching lanes
Two-seating
Hate him or love him
For the same reason (wish)
Can't leave it
The games needs him
Plus the people need someone to believe in (this)
So in God's Son we trust
'Cause they know I'm gonna give 'em what they want
They looking for . . . a hero
I guess that makes me . . . a hero

Pop Divas
Since the birth of popular music, female artists have maintained a constant prescence in the music world. Throughout the decades, there are those special few that come along to help change the face of music, inspiring future generations.Aretha Franklin emerged as what many people consider to be the 'First Diva’. She was a pioneer who defined soul music. Also, leading the way were Motown artists like Diana Ross and The Supremes. Dionne Warwick also enjoyed a good amount of success.
In the 70's, a young Ann Wilson with her band Heart emerged onto the rock scene. Ann’s voice was so strong that she was often compared to Led Zeppelin front man, Robert Plant. She paved the way for the many female rock bands that would soon follow.
Whitney Houston and Janet Jackson dominated the 80's with numerous Top 40 radio hits. In this decade, many Divas from the past, re-vived their careers in the form of duets. Patti LaBelle, Diana Ross, Aretha and Cher all scored duets with the top males artists of the time. Tina Turner also returned to sell millions of copies of her solo album "Private Dancer" .
The early 90's brought two of the hottest Pop/R&B Divas of all-time, Mary J. Blige and Mariah Carey. With mentors Andre Harrell and Sean “Puffy” Combs helping to mold her sound, Mary was off to a stellar start. She released five smash hits in the first two years of her career and was deemed the "Queen of Hip-Hop Soul". Mariah Carey achieved the most number one hits for any female artist. She has had success as a singer, an actress and remains one of the top voices in music.
Today, Nelly Furtado, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera and Fergie all dominate the radio airwaves, video markets and the fashion industry. With the advent of Ringtones and digital sales now coming into play, the new media has catapulted their status to new measures and has helped to broaden their fan base.
