New Music: Dirty Money Ft T.I. "Hello Goodmorning"





The first thing that stands out MAJORLY on this song is the track! Bangin beat..this is the best song I've heard from Dirty Money and with T.I. goin' in on the track its undeniable Love it!! But is this enough to bring Dirty Money to the forefront SAU? The Dirty Money album is slated to finally be released June 22 and the video is rumored to premiere on CBS during the NCAA Championship game on April 5th at 9pm...

Ludacris Helps Promote The U.S. Census....


Rapper Ludacris has teamed up with the U.S. Census to help people fill out the form and mail it back...New York, Orlando, Atlanta, Dallas, Washington D.C. and New Orleans are the areas Luda will be operating in...Luda had very strong words to say in regards to this...

“I look at our communities now and I see many empty lots, closed clinics, dilapidated schools and an overall breakdown of social services for the poor and elderly,” he said. “It’s important that we all stand up and be counted so we can help create potential financial opportunities for our dying communities."

Luda seems like a rapper that really cares about the black community and is still in tune with it...Go Luda!

Erykah Badu Stops By 106&Park.....



The one and only Erykah Badu stopped by 106&Park to talk about her new album "New Amerykah PT2" (Which I love! SAU you gotta hear it) but in other Erykah news her new video has caused quite the controversy. The new video, "Window Seat," shows the R&B singer and Dallas native stripping down to nothing at the site of JFK's assassination. On her Twitter feed, Badu says the video "was shot guerrilla style, no crew, 1 take, no closed set, no warning, 2 min., downtown dallas, then ran like hell."

If you stand for nothing you fall for anything I say...but I swear I thought it was staged Erykah is gutta for this one..Check out the video...doesn't the song sound great though?

Uh Oh Now...Trey Songz Covers Vibe Magazine

SAU Acceptance Letter Sent To: Ms. Nikki Minaj



Now we can't front like Nikki Minaj isn't the reason all the female rappers are stepping their game up now a days...The "Feature Queen" has been on her grind for a long time, and with her flow on many of the records she's featured on there is no doubt in my mind that Ms.Minaj will be here for years to come... When speaking on the pressure Nikki states:

"I'm a perfectionist and I want this buzz to really meet/surpass everyone's expectation of the people that support me. You got so many people that don't support you, but to the one's that do, they look at me and they see big things and I don't wanna disappoint them. To say I don't have pressure, I'd be lying. I do. I feel it all the time. I feel like I have to make this a masterpiece"....SAU will surely be watching Ms.Minaj ;)...SAU whatcha thinking about Nikki Minaj and her "Massive Attack"?

New Music: Ciara Ft The Dream "Speechless"





Ok SAU, I don't know about you all but I don't think Ciara can afford a song that doesn't hit with that last album being how it was...How many chances can you get? This one again doesn't do it for me in anyway...ESPECIALLY that Hook.....you know what? IIIIIIIIII'm Speechless man...SAU whatcha think? (Real quick...Her song Ride ft Ludacris sounds nice so can't wait to see the full video..hopefully it can redeem her in some way...

New Music: Christina Aguilera "Not Myself Tonight"



This is Christina Aguilera's New single from her up and coming album "Bionic" called "Not Myself Tonight. While the beat is nice the lyrics to the song "I'm kissing all the boys and the girls"..Reeeeeaaallllyyy Christina? Not that believable but you can't deny her voice,makes the whole song come together with her vocals.... Kinda like it its very different for Christina.

Ricky Martin Swings The Closet Door OPEN!!!




The one and only Ricky Martin has come out the closet via his official website,saying:

“Today is my day, this is my time, and this is my moment … These years in
silence and reflection made me stronger and reminded me that acceptance has
to come from within and that this kind of truth gives me the power to
conquer emotions I didn’t even know existed…I am proud to say that I
am a fortunate
homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am.”

....is this a big shocker to you ladies and gentleman of SAU?

New Music: Evanescence "Together Again"





Huge fan of Evanescence but is there a such thing as music being too dark? Amy Lee's voice is un like any other I've heard but this puts me in the mind of Nightmare before Christmas Pt 5! Not a fan of the haunting beat but her vocals can bring tears to a thugs eye..

If You Didn't See.....WWE Wrestlemania Recap!!



Big Show& The Miz VS R.Truth & John Morrison...

so truthfully I was getting my popcorn ready and I didn't catch the entire match :)but I do know The Big Show and The Miz are still Champs..

Ted Dibiase Vs Cody Rhodes Vs Randy Orton



First, as Cody Rhodes walked down the ramp I noticed how significantly bigger he looked, In The beginning Randy makes sure to keep both Cody and Ted in his sight. His stares don't do much for the assault he endured for the next 2-3 minutes, Randy Tries to gain momentum only to get a close line from hell from Dibiase. Dibiase goes for the pin,but not before Cody breaks it up finally realizing its a triple threat match. A double RKO from Randy takes this match to a peak with a punt to the head of Rhodes only quick to follow by a submission to Orton By Dibiase quickly countered by a RKO to Dibiase. Randy pins for the Win!

Money In The Bank Match!!



Kofi Kingston,MVP,Evan Bourne,Jack Swagger,Shelton Benjamin,Matt Hardy,Dolph Ziggler,Kane,Cristian,And Drew Mcyntyre competed in this EPIC match. This one had many ups and downs, including everyone in this match at least getting to touch the money in the bank Briefcase once,Kofi Kingston stilt walking the broken ladder Christian giving the twist of fate to Matt from the top of a ladder to have it all win with Jack Swagger victorious! Didn't expect that to happen but what a great match!

Sheamus VS Triple H



Triple H of course dominated this match for the first half paying homage to his mentor Rick flair giving Sheamus the figure four leg lock.But with Sheamus not giving up he gave Triple H quite the competition for the next two pins. One who is never out done Triple H gives Sheamus his all for the rest of the match showing who is THE GAME capitalizing for the W!

Rey Mysterio VS CM PUNK



This one starts off with the straight Edge society playing mind games with Rey Mysterio who coincidentally looks like a character from Pandora with his outfit on (I loved it)starting this one off. At one point Mysterio gets on the top rope paying homage to the great Eddie Gurrerro. Mysterio hits the 619 beats CM Punk!

Mr.McMahon VS Bret Hart



This one was interesting....Vince comes out and announces Bret Deserves a "Wrestlemania size screwjob" turning this match into a lumberjack match with the Hart Family as the lumberjacks (Ouch)turning Bret's family against him. Stu Hart's second son Bruce shows that he is the Official of this match,Only to have Bret announce that the Hart family is stronger than ever and ready to go AGAINST Vince who thought he had this one in the bag and indeed they did! For about the next 6 minutes we see Brett Give Vince the beating of a life time with Chairs and other objects this one ended by sharp shooter submission to Vince Bret For the W!

Edge Vs Chris Jericho



Back and forth this match went from beginning, two superstars goping head to head wondering who would give first,But just when you think Edge has the W,Jericho counters with the Code Breaker the ref gets knocked out at one point giving Jericho the leeway to hit Edge with the belt pinning Edge for the 1,2,3....Of course we know Edge wouldn't go out with out a bang so what does he do? Spear Jericho off the announcers table.....

Batista VS John Cena



Cena announced himself with a tribute to the U.S Armed Forces very nice,Match starts out with Batista dominating,but after a DDT from Batista John Cena looked a bit dazed through the first half resulting in a slower match,until a top rope trick countered by a Batista Bomb countered by a STF....Your new champion John Cena

Undertaker VS Shawn Michaels



All us true WWE fans could appreciate a match this EPIC! For those of you that didn't watch..Shawn Michaels hit an astounding Backflip from the top rope to the announcers table on the Undertaker that reigned him King of Wrestlemania once again. The Undertaker Pile drived Shawn to his last career but Shawn Michaels gave us his all! At the end of the match getting helped up by the Undertaker you see Undertaker mouth the words "your the best" Michaels got a standing Ovation mouthing the words "thank you for a wonderful life" and "I'll drive my kids crazy in 3 weeks"...a once in a lifetime moment from the great Shawn Michaels...

All in all I think the Show was wonderful every entertaining and the fans were of course the best in the world!...WWE Universe what did you think about Wrestlemania?

T.I. Is Officially A Free Man....Kinda



T.I. is officially a free man. Mostly. On Friday (March 26), the rapper completed his prison sentence, stemming from a 2007 arrest. According to MTV.com His lawyer reportedly told TMZ that T.I. will now be placed under 23 days of "supervised release," meaning he'll have to be home by 11 p.m. unless he's performing, in which case his curfew is extended until 1 a.m.....Regardless Great to have T.I. Back...Now let's see what he can bring to the table of Hip-Hop!

New Music: Jeezy


Jeezy: "Momma Told Me"



As I always say when it comes to Jeezy we know him for his SMASH beats this one doesn't disappoint as far as the beat at all especially when it breaks on the second Hook. I say Ester should drop the auto tune because her voice sounds like she can handle the verse without masking it, and Jeezy should watch his tempo, sometimes he gets ahead of the beat but other than that I like it...A lot!

Erykah Badu Performs "Window Seat"




We could sit here and go on and on about Ms.Badu's Style but I like it...Its her own thing and she's most definitely a trend setter...New Amerykah, Part 2: Return of the Ankh drops March 29th

In other Ludacris News as you know Luda has been everywhere including MTV's Spring Break. Along With Pitbull I'm going to give it to Ludacris he shut it down.

Hmmmm is a Toni/A.Keys collaboration in the works? Welp according to Digitalspy there just might be...

"Me and Alicia Keys are talking about it - well, my people are talking to Alicia's people because I play piano and obviously she plays too," Braxton told Digital Spy.

"I've been playing since I was about 9 years old so I really can play. Maybe we could do something at an award show and people will see us collaborate that way? We'll see."

SAU..The first and only time I can remember Toni playing the piano was in her Video for "Yesterday"...If the collab is in the works we will sure see how good Toni can really play sitting next to Mozart's little sister Alicia Keys! we'll keep an eye out

Christina's New Single To Premiere Friday...



Christina Aguilera is back with her first single "Not Myself Tonight" produced by Polow Da Don and written by Ester Dean (Go Ester!) Bionic features songs co-written by Aguilera along with her much buzzed about collaborations including Sia, Tricky Stewart, Polow Da Don, Le Tigre, Hill & Switch, and Ladytron among others.

Aguilera notes, "Working on this album with so many talented artists and producers that I admire was really an amazing experience. The artists I chose to work with added so many unique sonic layers to Bionic. My intention was to step into their world and what they do combined with my own vision and sound. The results were magic." The album also features a ballad produced and written by Linda Perry titled "Lift Me Up". The title Bionic reflects Aguilera's ability to take her range to new levels and use her voice in various ways never heard before.

This should be an experiment.. I can't wait to hear what Christina has in store for us being that she's been gone for a nice minute now...SAU are you checking for a Christina Aguliera Album?

"Not Myself Tonight" will premiere on 3/30

Cassidy ft Ne-yo: "You got me open"



where has Cassidy been in regards to music? This is aight not perfect by any means...Ne-yo's acapella "What can I say" at the beginning is definitely sharp but I won't tell anyone ;) an aight song for Cassidy..



J.Holiday: "Got myself a gun" Ft B.I.G


ok J. let me first say I don't believe a true R&B singer should have a hook like this one regardless to if it was on a mixtape or not..your suppose to be an R&B singer! Where are the lovely melodies and "Bed"& "suffocate" like songs? Where are you trying to go with a song Ft B.I.G? he has to be depressed with a chorus like that. I'm at a total loss...and I hope this was just a jokingly experiment bud..

The Video in question (Above) features scantily clad women dancing in front of a statue of the Buddha. Sri Lanka's ethnic majority Sinhalese are primarily Buddhists...you can see the statue between 1:40-1:50...


this is one of the many signs promoting a hate campaign for Akon but as the story goes on the Sri Lanka minister says: "We were expecting about 5,000 to 6,000 tourist from India, Maldives and Malaysia to watch the show. The mileage we would have got would have been priceless," Achala Jagoda told reporters in Colombo.

After Vice President Biden introduced President Obama at the televised signing of the health care bill he leaned in to his pal and said "This is a big f---ing deal."...Everyone is going in on Biden for his choice of words but is the man lying?

Looking drunk out of her mind your favorite "It" girl Lindsay Lohan fell for no damn reason recently after partying the night away at Trousdale, a new hot-spot on Sunset Boulevard. SAU Why?

JLO For Russian Elle...



This mother-of-two isn’t afraid to show that she’s still red hot despite settling down and starting a family.

"Having just gone through my own experience of having babies for the first time it definitely ranked true to me. All the little jokes about what it is to be pregnant and being tired and being kind of hormonal and all those kind of weird things that happen to you. And, how hungry you are."
