| Happy Birthday #HeavyD!!! [videos] Posted: 24 May 2014 08:00 PM PDT  Today we celebrate the life and TIMES of Heavy D!!!!! We will ALWAYS REMEMBER 'The OVERWEIGHT LOVER' Heavy D! Myers was born on May 24, 1967 in Mandeville, Jamaica, the son of Eulahlee Lee, a nurse, and Clifford Vincent Myers, a machine technician.[5] In the early 1970s his family moved to Mount Vernon, New York, where he was raised. Heavy D & the Boyz were the first group signed to Uptown Records, with Heavy D as the frontman and only rapper. Eddie F was his business partner in the group, DJ, and one of the producers. The other two members, T-Roy and G-Wiz were the dancers. Their debut, Living Large, was released in 1987. The album was a commercial success; Big Tyme was a breakthrough that included four hits. Dancer Troy "Trouble T. Roy" Dixon died at age 22 in a fall on July 15, 1990, in Indianapolis, Indiana. Dixon's death led to a tribute on the follow-up platinum album, Peaceful Journey. Pete Rock & CL Smooth created a tribute to Trouble T. Roy called "They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)" which is regarded as a hip hop classic.[4] Heavy D performed a guest rap on Janet Jackson's hit single single "Alright". It was notably the first pop single to feature a rapper, setting the trend for future hip-hop and pop collaborations.[8] It was also his highest peaking song on the Billboard Hot 100.[9] A year later, he appeared on Michael Jackson's single "Jam". He gained even more fame by singing the theme song for the television program In Living Color and also MADtv. 'Mr. Big Stuff' 'Now that we've found love'  www.TheGamutt.com |

Patti Labelle celebrates her 70th birthday today!!!  Patricia Louise Holte-Edwards (born May 24, 1944), better known under the stage name Patti LaBelle, is a renowned Grammy Award-winning American singer, author, and actress who has spent over 50 years in the music industry. LaBelle spent 16 years as lead singer of Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles, who changed their name to Labelle in the early 1970s and released the iconic disco song "Lady Marmalade". LaBelle started her solo career shortly after the group disbanded in 1977 and crossed over to pop music with "On My Own", "If You Asked Me To", "Stir It Up", and "New Attitude". She has also recorded R&B ballads such as "You Are My Friend", "If Only You Knew", and "Love, Need and Want You".  LaBelle possesses the vocal range of a soprano. Due to her musical legacy and influence, she has been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Apollo Hall of Fame, and the Songwriters' Hall of Fame. The World Music Awards presented her with the prestigious Legend Award. LaBelle has sold over 50 million records worldwide!!!

Get the DETAILS after the JUMP!  Patti has some ADVICE for her younger self-- she regrets PLASTIC SURGERY and wishes she could go back in time and never have gone under the KNIFE! Soul legend Patti LaBelle regrets her past cosmetic surgery, insisting she'd like to go back in time and tell her younger self not to touch her nose. The Lady Marmalade singer admits she went under the knife because she felt her nose was too big. She tells Access Hollywood, "I would tell my younger self not to have problems with the way I looked... not to worry about that nose. I had a bigger nose, so I had a nose job – that's the only surgery I've ever had on my face or my body. "I was beating up myself for the way my nose looked and my nose was fine before I changed it, but it was my way of thinking that once I got on TV it's gonna look bigger. "I would have said, 'Patti, back in the day you shouldn't have touched your nose. Be yourself'." WORD to LIVE BY!! Thank you Patti for all the years of HITS! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! www.TheGamutt.com  |

| Track By Track: Review of #MariahCarey's 'Me: I am Mariah- The Elusive Chanteuse' [videos] Posted: 23 May 2014 11:06 PM PDT  MARIAH is BACK, or something like that. Mariah drops, her 14th (YES 14th) studio album, 'Me: I Am Mariah...the Elusive Chanteuse' on Tuesday! A GRANDIOUSE title, right for a STELLAR CAREER to date--so it's fitting. It's UNDENIABLE that Mariah has an IMPRESSIVE track record and a CATALOG of MONSTER HITS that is UNMATCHED. I know I have given MC a hard time recently with some of her singles not charting well or performing as well as some of her past hits- but MARIAH is STILL a BEAST in the industry. Her IMPACT continues to reach new generations and she has that impressive 5-octave range! I've listened to the album and after a few false starts, single changes, title switch-ups... I think MC has GOT IT BACK! Here is a TRACK by TRACK review of the project! "Cry": Easing into her comeback, Mariah opens with a big ol' piano ballad. She wants to hold her lover until they both start bawling, and while that's hardly the sentiment you want to hear at the start of an album—particularly one released on the eve of beach season—it's probably the record's heaviest moment.  "Faded": Listen closely, and there are lots of Mariahs on this track. Some do percussive "oh" and "eh" scatting, while at least one goes into that super high glass-shatter register that Carey has been wowing the world with since her very first single. Can any of them solve the romantic quandary driving the lyrics? Probably not, but at least Mike Will Made It gives the chorus of Careys a cool beat to sing over."Dedicated": This is straight-up nostalgia—as Mariah and guest Nas discuss in the intro—and amid references to Heavy D, Slick Rick, the Wu-Tang Clan, and Run-D.M.C., the singer looks back on both the records and the romances that have shaped her life. While much of the world is stuck back in the '90s, she and Nas are chilling in '88 and having a ball.  "Cry": Easing into her comeback, Mariah opens with a big ol' piano ballad.

While much of the world is stuck back in the '90s, she and Nas are chilling in '88 and having a ball. "Beautiful": Mariah's always had a thing for the bad boys, and here, Miguel stars as the red-light-running biker dude who gets her motor going. They both tell each other that beauty is the thing driving their infatuation, and thanks to a retro-futuristic soul backing, the superficiality comes off as kind of sexy. It's like a modern "Stand by Me," only these two can't stand still. "Thirsty": Backed by Hit-Boy's sparse, spacey hip-hop beat, Mariah dresses down a celeb-whore paramour who only wants to piggyback on her fame. After four songs about love, heartbreak and nostalgia, it's nice to hear our girl get a little feisty. "Make It Look Good": Sometimes, you know you're getting played, but you decide to just go with it. That's what Mimi does here, and as she lets loose over what sounds like a skipping '80s-era Stevie Wonder record, it's clear she's willing to let this no-good lip-licking Romeo take her for the proverbial ride. Her laugh at the end shows how silly it's meant to be.  "Your Mine (Eternal)": With its simple piano lick, longing lyrics and skittering, minimal beat, the disc's third single harks back to "We Belong Together." Once again, Mariah admits she's powerless in the face of love. There's some of her mega-high-pitched singing toward the end of the track, but this one works because of a simple hook and sentiment. No gymnastics required. "You Don't Know What to Do": The album's first real chance to dance finds Carey and Wale in the disco, bumping butts like it's 1977. The string sounds are right out of Chic's "Good Times," and the only thing missing is a Nile Rodgers cameo. (Yeah, the guy's busy these days, but she had three years to book it.) "Supernatural": So begins the recording careers of "Dembabies," aka Mariah and husband Nick Cannon's fraternal twins, Monroe and Moroccan. "Got me lost in the clouds," she sings. "Slowly, keep me here always / You're the only thing that's true." The kiddies bring plenty of A-1 giggle game, making this sappy cut feel pretty damn cute. "Meteorite": Having professed her love for the twins, Carey hires a sitter and heads back to the club. This time, it's Q-Tip providing the disco beat, and as Mariah gets down, she offers up some commentary on celebrity culture, comparing a female star — perhaps herself — to the titular bit of flaming space rock. If she's talking about crashing and burning, she makes it sound pretty hot.  "Camouflage": For all her vocal skill, Mariah can't sell every earnest piano ballad, and this one simply falls flat. The lyrics are stock and the melody doesn't stick, and if anything, it's a breather between the preceding smooth groover and the absolute banger waiting on deck. "Money": Every R&B album needs a "money don't mean nothing" jam, and here, Mariah and Fabolous get anti-materialistic over a thumping Hit-Boy beat. How strong is this love Mariah and Fab are singing about? It evidently trumps "holidays" and "hollandaise," and that's saying something, 'cause eggs Benny is mad delicious. "One More Try": On her last album, Mariah covered Foreigner. She shows much better '80s taste with this update of George Michael's "One More Try." The production borders on schmaltzy, but at least this Long Island girl didn't go the Journey route or—worse yet—show some tri-state love with a Bon Jovi remake. "Heavenly (No Ways Tired / Can't Give Up Now)": With a full choir on board, Mariah gets behind the wheel of a gospel tour bus and floors it toward salvation. It's even schmaltzier than the George Michael cover, but hey, middle school glee clubs need songs to sing at graduation, so this thing serves at least one purpose.

| #LHHATL News: #KirkFrost NOT the only CHEATER!? Did #Rasheeda CHEAT as well!? [details] Posted: 23 May 2014 02:13 PM PDT  Kirk Frost's trepidation about the paternity of Baby Karter maybe WARRANTED after all. We saw in season 2 of 'Love and Hip Hop Atlanta', Kirk found himself in a hot tub with a bevy of beauties. This ULTIMATELY lead to his TRANSGRESSIONS that cause STRIFE in the marriage. But is he the ONLY one at fault. Rasheeda was asked if she had ever CHEATED on Kirk or gave him REASON to DOUBT the paternity of their child and she had an INTERESTING response. On Vh1.com Rasheeda TALKS about her current situation with Kirk: Although we have these bumps, it's been hella years of just really great times and beautiful marital bliss to a certain extent. I feel like I'll work on it until you ain't go no more fight, and even if a lot of times you might look crazy, it's all about your own heart. It ain't what the fuck everybody's opinion is about your marriage because people see those two minutes of a clip, and don't see everything else that happens. They don't know the mistakes the woman has made or anything like that and I'm not trying to take up for Kirk because we have been through it child! At the end of the day it's about the person's heart, and are you trying to pull things together and praying on your situation. The mistakes a woman has made? Have you cheated on Kirk? Not in our marriage I have not. But you have? I haven't in the marriage. Things aren't always perfect and people make mistakes. What I will say is I have not done anything in the marriage. [That's why] the paternity test situation I really feel like that shit was totally disrespectful and pissed me off to the utmost. You know men do stupid shit because of insecurities within them. Not because of me. I haven't done anything. When you talk to Kirk you ask him 'What has Rasheeda done to make you feel like you would need to do that?' The answer is nothing. So we are to ASSUME that Rasheeda may have cheated in the PAST--thus giving Kirk reason to doubt. Now we see things a little DIFFERENTLY, RIGHT!? Tune in for more of Kirk and Rasheeda's drama on Love & Hip Hop Atlanta on Monday night at 8PM ET/PT. www.TheGamutt.com  |
