Raekwon: "RZA Is Not On The Album"
It seemed a little unusual for a Raekwon album to be missing a collaboration with one of the biggest Wu-Tang emcees, but that appeared to be the case when the track list of Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang had no mention of a RZA track. Now Raekwon has confirmed that RZA will not appear on the album, citing RZA's scheduling conflicts and hardcore allegiance to Wu-Tang as reasons for his absence.

Nicki Minaj Takes Over SNL
Nicki Minaj took to SNL last night to perform and take a stab at her comedic skills. The "Moment 4 Life" rapper performed her two hits "Right Thru Me" and "Moment 4 Life" and the latter performance had Minaj with a the Bride of Frankenstein black and white wig. The highlight of the show was the comedy short in which Nicki joined Andy Samberg and The Lonely Island crew in a creeping music video.

REVIEW: "S&M" by Rihanna
Rihanna has emerged as the modern sex symbol of today's pop music and with that distinction comes a responsibility to produce music that projects sexuality in new and innovative ways. Thus, the new single from Rihanna's album Loud aims to do just that, highlighting the naughtiness and effervescent quality of the synth-centric pop track in attention-grabbing style.
The Bajan beauty struts herself through her vocals, sounding coy and subdued during the first verse before exploding into a thumping, pulsating chorus of "sticks and stones" and the smell of "sex in the air." She's bad and oh so good at it, and entices the listener by telling them to "come on, come on." It is a perfect dance track with just the right amount of sex to have the prudish pulling their hair out, while not going overboard with the sexual overtones to sound desperate.
Bruno Mars Accepts Plea Deal In Drug Case
With a number one song and an album on the verge of release, Bruno Mars was riding high (no pun intended) in September 2010. Unfortunately, with the good comes the bad and that's exactly what happened when police arrested the singer on cocaine possession charges. With no prior convictions, the singer was able to accept a plea bargain with the Clark County (Las Vegas) District Attorney to have the charges dismissed if the "Grenade" singer agrees to certain terms, which include a $2,000 fine, 200 hours of community service, and no other run-ins with the police for the next year.
