Damn You Usher!, T.I. Banned From Cobb And Fulton County Schools? Plus, 9th Ward Wants To Bowl With You!
Posted on April 24, 2008 10:01 AM
I mean damn, here I was completely comfortable in my judgment of Usher "damn" Raymond. The overly sensitive pop star who I had internally written off as a "has been" seems to be pulling out all the stops on his new CD. And I'll be damned if his new remix of "Love In Da Club" with Beyonce and Lil' Wayne is HOT AS HELL! Have a listen below.
[doesn't it sound a little like "Lovers and Friends"?]
Now I got to be honest the biggest reason why I love this remix is because it's an actual remix. Don't y'all remember back in the day when artists would drop a remix and it would be a completely different song? R.Kelly's child molesting ass was the King of the remix. But now-a-days when people drop a remix it's just the same damn song with a rapper added to it.
I think this song is hot, and now I'm suddenly interested in seeing what Usher can do with Here I Stand. Y'all already know that I was going to try and get an interview out of homie, but his camp is being extra tight with media access. I hear that Usher isn't a fan of the blogs ever since we [yes, all bloggers] clowned on him and his new wife Tameka hard last year. I don't know when these artists are going to get it. New Media is the way to go if you want to get some major attention on your project. Some learn that lesson faster than others.
Mad props to Low Key over at You Heard That New. I don't know how you be getting the exclusive sh*t first, but you starting to get into a league of your own.
Is T.I. banned from all Cobb County schools? That's what I'm hearing. Apparently the embattled rapper, who is still trying to complete his 1000 hours of community service, tried to reach out to Pebblebrook High School students but was brutally rebuffed. From what I could ascertain the Cobb County School district has nixed the idea.
Community Activist, Gerald Rose, says that he received confirmation that it was OK for Clifford Harris, AKA Tip, to speak to students about staying out of trouble, but when one last phone call was made to the principal of Pebblebrook it seems the offer was reneged.
Of course when confronted about the districts abrupt decision, they reportedly said that its just not a good time to have T.I. at their schools due to heavy gang violence and tension surrounding the death of a student in the area.
But I'm confused. If T.I. is coming to talk to the students to discuss the downfalls of criminal actions and violence then does their excuse measure up?
And if that news isn't shocking enough, Cobb County is not the only district banning T.I. either. From what I heard Fulton County is also banning the self-proclaimed "King Of The South" as well due to criminal charges he still faces. But at least there's a glimmer of good news coming out of this because Dekalb County has said that they have no problem with T.I. talking to its students. I hear he has several engagements scheduled for next week talking to Dekalb students.
My girl Dorma at So So Def wanted me to let all y'all know that its going down this Sunday with 9th Ward, and Nitti Beat out at 300 Bowling Alley. I'm sure everybody already knows that Sunday's are off the chain at 300. And if you don't know you better ask somebody.
Talk to y'all lata,

Hot ....and Bee just no words!! Summer hit.
I agree, the remix has become dying breed, that remix is hot and not only that all the verses are relevant to the song thats mad rare nowadays, that sh*ts crack...the thing about TI is that if he goes niggas fenda act up and famous or not TI fenda go there get hit wit a bottle or suttin and make TIP come out.
thats remix is aight...Weezy spoiled it
T.I should not be let anywhere near a school,..we all know hes doing this "talkin 2 the kids" thing as a good beavaiour gimmick
Good look on the new music.
man his new single sounds just like "yeah". music is going out of style.
Big up to 9th Ward, that "Supermodel" is a club banger.
Honestly dawg do you think Usher needs promotion from your lil' blog to help his album sell? He's fuckin USHER!!!! Get over your self. He's the biggest artist in R&B next to only MJB and Alicia Keys, and Mariah if you consider her shit R&B. He don't really need promotion, his music and spot in the game speaks for itself...
here is a copy without wayne

Weezy with all these sound effects on his voice is not a good look! Sounds like he has pubic hair stuck in his throat!
USHER' ASS...HE CAN'T BE MAD PEOPLE CLOWNED THA CHICK. FIRST OFF, PEOPLE KNOW HOW THEY CAME ABOUT...SHADY USHER..SHADY. DON'T TRY TO PAINT HER AS SOME WHOLESOME CHICK...PLEEZE!! JUST GIVE ME THE MUSIC...I CAN CARE LESS ABOUT HIM AND HIS OL' LADY!!
The remix is tight! Wayne did o.k. I'm kind of tired of his T-Pain imitation. If he would have just rap regular it could have been a lot tighter verse.
R kelly IS the king of the remix,and gyant is a gyant FAGGET.Sohh needs to get rid of you your opinion is not taken serious.I agree T.I dont need to be saying nothin to any kid he needs to stay out of the schools.He is just tryin to get that community service done.They should make him go pick up shit on the side of the road or clean garbage trucks for those hours.
Thank you atlanta school system keeping it real and not allowing and stupid felon talk to our children. Kids see how he got off real easily and don't need that type of mixed signal.
C.I. is a con artist/actor. Wha has he accomplished or done since his or arrest or plea to show a complete 180 in less than a year? Don't fall for that BS. Only thing that has changed is C.I. is a cooperating tool for the FEDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
And don't ask that stupid question who he snitched on cause I didn't say snitch I said COOPERATING TOOL!!!!!!!!!!!
That remix is garbage.................................
Get off LowKey's dick....he dont fucks with SOHH
Well, if Usher is salty over blogs talkin about ol' girl then that's just too bad. That means that Usher doesn't like hearing the truth! Nicca's like him have to learn the heard way.
I like the remix and the original version. I'm an Usher fan forever and wish him much success with the new album.
Fuck all that shit about that nigga and his broad, THIS SHIT IS HOTT. He shoulda made this the original and shot a video for it (minus the Fur-Mongoose Gremlin)....
OG MATT HERB IS A GUATEMALAN BALL SUCKER WHO STALKS BLOGGERS TO SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DRINK MAN MILK.
HERBZ YOU IS A BITCH MADE WETBACK HOME DEPOT HOE.

Damn Gyant, maybe i don't have that female trait that allows me to hate a man because he gets married and is unavailble like u possess, but i do agree with u on one thing.
That 'Love in the Club' Remix is straight FIRE!! I'm about sick of all those remixes where niggas through 8 rappers on the same beat. I don't know who is better at the remixes, Kells or Diddy, but what they do i missed in this monotomous urban music game.
I wouldn't want a convicted felon giving "do what i say, not what i do" speaches at my school neithor. That nigga got a long ways to go before his image is clean a putting out another album of crack tunes isn't gonna help.

I have a teenager in Atlanta Public Schools and I do not want TI speaking to my child about anything. What the hell kind of message is he sending. Dekalb County already screwed up with teenagers getting shot and the gang violence so of course they would let this convicted felon come speak to their students. The sad part is, TI was not interested in speaking to these kids BEFORE his got in trouble. I would rather they hear a speech from Michael Vick- someone who truly suffered and lost because of his actions- rather than a rapper who got a slap on the wrist and is getting off easy. WRONG MESSAGE!
