RIHANNA - RUSSIAN ROULETTE (VIDEO)

Even though you've probably seen this everywhere already, I still had to post it.

"Russian Roulette" > "The Wait Is Ova" ... imo

RIHANNA - RUSSIAN ROULETTE

Yep, so we waited for Ri-Ri's new single to make its debut and its here. What you think?

Written by Ne-Yo and produced by UK Dubstep/DnB duo Chase & Status. I'm hearing it is in fact produced by Ne-Yo's right hand man Chuck Harmony.

KERI HILSON FT KANYE & NE-YO - KNOCK YOU DOWN

Knock U Down
by BlakMusicFirst

I know I'm super late on this, but if I had of been around when this dropped, I would have posted it. So here goes...

Not a big fan of the song, I guess its one of those situations where three great artists collaborate and more is always expected.

NEYO AND WEEZY FOR ALBUM OF THE YEAR?

The official Grammy nominations have been unleashed and surprisingly they're pretty on-point.

Neyo's Year of The Gentleman and Lil Wayne's Carter III are two of the nominees for the Album Of The Year category, although I think this one will end up in the hands of Coldplay.

The most interesting category to me is the Producer Of The Year, which I'm serially confused by. Here are this years nominees:

Producer Of The Year, Non-Classical
(A Producer's Award. (Artists names appear in parentheses.))

• Danger Mouse
  
• Attack & Release (The Black Keys) (A)
  
• Modern Guilt (Beck) (A)
  
• The Odd Couple (Gnarls Barkley) (A)
  
  
  
• Nigel Godrich
  
  
• In Rainbows (Radiohead) (A)
  
  
  
• Johnny Karkazis (Johnny K)
  
  
• Big Bad World (Plain White T's) (A)
  
• The Illusion Of Progress (Staind) (A)
  
• Light From Above (Black Tide) (A)
  
• 3 Doors Down (3 Doors Down) (A)
  
  
  
• Rick Rubin
  
  
• Death Magnetic (Metallica) (A)
  
• Home Before Dark (Neil Diamond) (A)
  
• Mercy (Dancing For The Death Of An Imaginary Enemy) (Ours) (A)
  
• Seeing Things (Jakob Dylan) (A)
  
• Weezer (Red Album) (Weezer) (A)
  
  
  
• Will.I.Am
  
  
• American Boy (Estelle Featuring Kanye West) (T)
  
• Encanto (Sergio Mendes) (A)
  
• Funky Bahia (Sergio Mendes Featuring will.i.am & Siedah Garrett) (T)
  
• In The Ayer (Flo Rida Featuring will.i.am) (T)
  
• Pick It Up (Fergie) (T)
  
• Picture Perfect (Chris Brown Featuring will.i.am) (T)
  
• What's Your Name (Usher Featuring will.i.am) (T)

Don't get me wrong, I love Will.I.Am, he's amazing, but I feel like he is only nominated in support of the "American Boy" Song Of The Year nomination. Bar one, all the credits I see listed below his name are for tracks (not to mention only three of these were singles), so if that is the body of work they're judging by then why are producers such as Timbaland and Stargate and many others overlooked? Lets take a look:

Timbo may not have had as successful of a year as he did in 2007 but he still managed to produce a bulk of Madonna's album, an enormous hit with One Republic "Apologize", singles for Keri Hilson, Ashlee Simpson, Flo Rida & Matt Pakora, and a few tracks for Pussycat Dolls.

Stargate produced the first three singles from Neyo's Album Of The Year nominated Year Of The Gentleman, hit singles for Jennifer Hudson and Rihanna and album cuts for Usher, Michelle Williams, Nas, Jazmine Sullivan, Kelly Rowland, Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, Beyonce, David Archuleta and many others.

LEGAL $$$ MUST BE HURTIN KELLS POCKET

Remember last year when Ne-Yo was suspiciously removed from R Kelly's Double Up Tour? Well Rowe Entertainment, the tour promoter has now been ordered to fork out just over $700K in damages after losing the suit Ne-Yo's company filed last year.
