Now since JD was moving in silence in regards to the so called “termination”, I figured it was nothing to take serious; a mere disagreement amongst the high powers over on 49th St. But, when I saw this headline in an email blast yesterday, “I haven’t spoken to LA Reid in three months”, my “Ahhhhhhh sh*t” radar hit OVERDRIVE.

JD sat down with ESSENCE.com and briefly explained the break down, if you can even call it that, between him, and LA Reid,  “I haven’t spoken to L.A. [Reid] in three months. I don’t know if it’s amicable [considering] that they claim they put me out. I feel like it’s not amicable. Don’t lie, be real about the situation. It goes back to their having the attitude of let’s try and do something that’s going to hurt this person, because if it hurts us we have nowhere to go after this, but he does and has at least another 20 more years in this business. Again, if L.A. [Reid] gets fired, there will be at least another ten people who will also get fired and we’ll never see them again. Def Jam is like one big clique.”

“Def Jam is like one big clique”= ZING!!

Upping the mud slinging anty, JD even called L.A., get ready for this….JEALOUS, “I don’t know. I saw a side of him that I had never seen before and that to me was a jealous side. I don’t know if I should be around people who are jealous of me. Mariah Carey sold more records in that entire Def Jam building and all of that was through my singles; so I’m looking like the golden boy. I only started thinking about it after I left.”

Where. What. Who. Why. When. How………I want all those questions answered ASAP. Where did the communication break down? Was Reid jealous of his relationship with Mariah? Did he despise the little lucky charm for wifing Ms. Jackson? Did L.A.’s request to be in one of JD’s, “Living The Life” webisodes get turned down because he wasn’t hip enough? So many questions, so little information.

What do you guys think? What happen between JD and “The Clique” (The funniest thing JD’s ever said in his LIFE). Where does that leave his So So Def imprint? Go head……..SOUND OFF!!

Ummmm, WHAT????? Wait a god darn second…did Beyonce just unleash one of the most blasphemous statements against one of the families she probably studied during her “snooty” up bringing.

You know what, I’m going to give shorty the benefit of the doubt. I’m going to cease fire on this attack and assume her words were misquoted because there’s no way in the hottest day of Satan’s residence that she would be so quick to fly off at the mouth about this but wouldn’t utter Jay-Z’s name whenever someone said, “So, that guy you’re hanging out with, is that you’re love interest?”

On top of that, I heard Ms. Jackson isn’t too ecstatic about Bey’s illegitimate remarks. I’m sure Beyonce would love to have “Rhythm Nation” chasing that ass down. Anyway, what do you guys think? Did Beyonce step out of pocket with this one??????

P.S. Papa and Mama Knowles, please come get your child!

After suddenly falling ill hours before her Montreal concert the other night, Janet Jackson, 42, has been released from Royal Victoria Hospital, a rep confirmed with TMZ.com, earlier today. Two hours after being admitted to the facility Ms. Jackson caught the holy ghost and got the hell outta dodge (translation: she feels much better, now). Though details of Janet’s illness have yet to be revealed, she was treated for whatever it was that knocked her out.

Good to see Janet’s rhythm nation wasn’t derailed too long.

StarGate links with President Carter!  StarGate (Tor Erik Hermansen and Mikkel S. Eriksen) a Norwegian production duo whose responsible for countless amounts of R&B hits (more on that later) have linked up with Roc-A-Fella’s H.N.I.C., Jay-Z, to form a new recording imprint, StarRoc (get it, StarGate…Rocafella..). Though details are sketchy right now, the duo has since relocated to Jay-Z’s, Roc The Mic studios in Manhattan.

Now before you start with the, “Who in the HELL are these guys and why should I even CARE about what they’re doing” questions and inquiries, let me run down their credentials, well the short version, lol…….

Neyo: “So Sick”, “Let Go”, “Because of You”, “Go On Girl”, “Miss Independent”, “Closer”

Rihanna: “Unfaithful”, “We Ride”, “Don’t Stop The Music”, “Good Girl Gone Bad”,
“Hate That I Love You”, “Take A Bow”

Chris Brown: “With You”

Beyonce: “Irreplaceable”, “Beautfiul Liar”

Mario: “How Do I Breathe”

Trey Songz: “Can’t Help But Wait”

Jordin Sparks: “Tatto”, “Freeze”, “For The Record”

Usher: “His Mistakes”, “What’s a Man To Do”

Mariah Carey: “That Chick”, “Bye Bye”

Nas: “America”, “Not Going Back”

Janet Jackson: “Tonite”

Jennifer Hudson: “Spotlight”

And to honest, on their behalf, I’m being EXTREMELY modest because their production credits go on FOR DAYS! 

StarGate, Hova….good team???? SOUNDOFF!!

Looks like Janet and a bunch of her superfriends decided to remix her first single “FeedBack”. Busta and Ciara’s verse have been floating around for several weeks, but JD sprinkled some of his ad libs (I’m sure he was in the studio pointing at the microphone just like he points at the camera when he’s recording those foolish home movies) and Living Good Loso laid down some witty commentary like he normally does! You feeling this ish right here???? Let Low know what’s good……!!

 SOUNDOFFFFFF!!!!
