Tyga's New Mixtape


It's Carlyle here and I got great news for underground hip hop fans! RnB sensation Chris Brown and rapper Tyga will be releasing another collaboration album, "Fan of a Fan 2."

You may not understand why this is such a big deal, but that's okay because that's why I'm here. For those who don't know Tyga is a great mixtape artist because he treats his mixtapes as if they're albums and always produces high quality music. He also has a way of reinventing himself without losing character.

The first mixtape he and Chris Brown released, "Fan of a Fan," came out in 2010 and it gave us hits like "Holla At Me" and many girls' favorite break-up song "Deuces." We don't know when this mixtape will drop, but Tyga announced via Twitter that it should be coming soon so be on the look out!
Signed,


Carlyle

The Cheat Sheet: "Celebrity Rundown"

Congratulations to Beyonce who was named by People Magazine as "The World's Most Beautiful Woman."  She told People, "I feel more beautiful than I've ever felt because I've given birth.  I have never felt so connected, never felt like I had such a purpose on this earth."

Motherhood Makes Beyoncé Feel 'More Beautiful Than Ever'


Good girl gone bad pop princess Rihanna was honored as Time Magazine’s Top 100 Influential People along with Jeremy Lin and President Barack Obama.  How much of an influence has Rihanna been in your life?


Guess who's back?  After getting into a Twitter battle with a fan site and subsequently deleting her Twitter account, rapper Nicki Minaj is back on Twitter after only a week long hiatus.  She also announced via Twitter that she and singer Chris Brown are currently filming a new video.

(We knew she'd be back!)


The 1990's hit girl group SWV recently dropped a new album titled "I Missed Us"
....but it seems as if no one really missed them since their album only sold 14,000 units its first week! Ouch!


Am I the only person who can't stand Roc Nation artist Rita Ora?  She's a wack, want-to-be version of Rihanna if you ask me!

The Real Gender Gap & The Truth Behind The Gas Price Surge



And join our conversations on...

The Real Gender Gap
Even in the year 2012, women still only make 77 cent for each $1 made by men and in the most common occupations women make less money than men doing the same job for an equal amount of hours.
Today political analyst and feminist writer Zerlina Maxwell and Ms. Magazine's Jessica Stites will help us debunk the myths about the gender wage gap and how far we are from closing it.


The Truth Behind The Surge In Gas & Oil Prices

The only thing higher than most people last Friday on 4/20 were gas prices.  
But while Democrats and Republicans continue arguing and pushing the blame, today the Director of the Energy Forum at the Baker Institute and Associate Director of the Rice Energy Program Amy Myers Jaffe will help us break down the facts and help us understand the real causes behind the increasing price of gas and oil.

Plus, the latest in news and media including...

Tennessee's Anti-Hand Holding Legislation
A new law in Tennessee warns students that holding hands "is a gateway sexual activity."  No, seriously.
And
Raising Taxes On The Poor

Republican Majority Congressional Leader Eric Cantor suggest that we raise taxes on those living under the poverty line. 



And lastly, for those who want to stay up-to-date with the latest celebrity news, tune into the
"Celebrity Rundown"
