CHAKA KHAN IS DISRESPECTFUL TO MARY J!

Chaka Khan Disrespectful (feat. Mary J. Blige)

...

Yes! I know this may have leaked a while back but I have not seen it on ANY other blog, NOTHING has leaked today and it is such a great tune that I could not keep it from all you guys! The woman with the voice is back, 29 years after she started! It is of course... Chaka Khan and this is the lead single from her upcoming album 'Funk This' and the single 'Disrespectful' features the mighty vocals of Mary J. Blige! I love it when a track like this comes around, two massive strong black women vocals on one track! My ideal track! I first heard this track on BBC 1Xtra a few weeks back and only now have I found it to put on my iPod! I hope you guys enjoy this track as much as I do and if this track is anything to go by, I definitly recommend buying the album when it's released September 25! Have you always been a fan of her music or is this track the first thing you've heard of her? What do you make of this mighty mighty track? I really really want to hear what you think of this track! So please make a little comment as I appreciate it a lot!

UK REP'S MUSIC NEWS - 21 AUGUST!

There is hardly anything happening in the world of music today! Hence no downloads! But, UK Rep always finds the news that you should hear! So here we go and enjoy the news! So please comment on your fave stories!

Kanye West has said that Justin Timberlake is his "biggest inspiraton and his biggest competition"! Kanye is quoted in the October issue of 'XXL' as saying "He's the only other person that gets an across-the-board response and respect level black radio, white radio. If Justin hadn't come out and killed the game, I can't say that my album, singles and videos would be on the same level that they're on. We push each other. I look at me and Justin like Prince and Michael Jackson in their day." Despite being number 1 in the UK at the moment he claims that he's "never cared about being No. 1." and prefers his music to connect with people rather than compete for record sales! Is Kanye getting a bit too big for his boots? Or is it just a slight dig at 50 Cent, saying that they are on the same level and getting to number 1 does not determine success! What's your opinion on Kanye? I'd love to hear it!

In an exclusive interview for BBC 1Xtra recently, R. Kelly revealed that he has made thirty... yes THIRTY chapters for his 'Trapped In The Closet' series! Is he going a bit over the top now with this story, at first there were only six, ten it reached twelve and he is now releasing Chapters 13-22 but it seems he is not content wth just 22 and has done more!!! I mean seriously, how much more can this story go on for? I am still eager to hear them all but I would also like the mp3's of the chapters to be released on a CD and not just on DVD! So Kels, if you're listening (lol) please release all thirty or so chapters on a CD! Are you looking forward to his next chapters?

Amy Winehouse has left rehab for a second time on Sunday (August 19)! This is not a good sign! I was really happy that she went back to rehab because I do fear for her health and do not want to lose her music and I want her to be healthy enough to record new material! Winehouse walked out of 'The Causeway Clinic' in Britain on on following a series of screaming matches with her husband Blake! I really urge Amy to go BACK into rehab and I don't wanna hear her say 'No! No! No!' (lol)! What do you think Amy should do? What do you think about the news that she has left rehab again?

Is Mary J. Blige pregnant? Well, acording to some reports the answer is yes!!! It seems that Mary who is 36 years old, and her husband/manager Kendu Isaacs are expecting their first child as early as early 2008! A close family member has revealed that they have been trying for a baby for nearly a year, having got married in December 2003, and have finally succeeded! Mary is already stepmother to Kendu's three kids from a previous relationship! I am really happy to hear this news and cannot wait to see te first pics of what I'm sure will be a great looking child! I was hoping that she wuld release an album later this year as planned but I think that her new album has to be pushed back for the sake of her unborn child! Congrats Mary!

T.I. Big Things Poppin'

...

OK, so now you've seen the better$ performances, I would like to know what you think please! I personally think that Beyonce looked, danced and sang amazingly in a stunning gold outfit, Kelly did a good job as well but the cream was put on the cake when Michelle and Solange joined Kelly & Beyonce on stage and Eve making an appearance was great as well! Moving on to Robin Thicke, this guy is making a big name for himself now in the UK and this performance was heartfelt, I like it! Then we got Ciara who unfortunately looked better than she sounded, I feel that whenever CiCi performs this is the case, but she gave a great performance and it was good to see my fave song 'That's Right' performed with Lil' Jon! Then we end wiv T.I. who in my book can't do a thing wrong recently! Major propz to T.I.!

I think it was an amazing night for music and in particular for Black artists! Remember your opinions count as much as mine, so be sure to make some below!
