New Mixtape - Reflection Eternal

Mixtapes have been more of the rage than actual LP's in the past year, with projects from artist such as Gucci Mane, Lil Wayne, and even Trey Songz. Next up added to the large roster is the classic Hip-Hop duo Reflection Eternal (Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek) with the new Mixtape Reflection Eternal - The Re:Union.

The N.Y. and Ohio Natives are back at it again. For the true Hip-Hop lovers/feens this will bring you back to a place when Hip-Hop was organic, rugged, and real. The first single from the tape, which started surfacing about a month ago, is "Just Begun" ft. J. Cole, Jay Electronica, and Mos Def. This track is soo classic, right after listening to it I got into my Talib and Hi-Tek mood and throw on one of my fav. records from them "The Blast". That's how it makes you feel. Its like they pushed the pause button on their music remotes and when they pushed play it was the same classic feel just sped up to today.

The Mixtape is a combination of new records, popular old joints from the two, and freestyles. The tape is sure to be a complete Smash and so is their upcoming album "Revolutions Per Mintue". These two lyrical meisters together can do no harm if you ask me.

Well, with that said definitely go check the Mixtape out and be on the look out for the LP.

P.S. This is the official last post on blogspot. We stepped our game up and were currently working on HollyHoodConnect.com lol, but definitely Stay Tuned! Peace & God Bless...

It looks like Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox are engaged again. The former star of 'Beverly Hills, 90210' responded to a fan's question about his marital status on his Twitter account by tweeting, "engaged and have a son from my previous relationship." Green and Fox were previously set to be married, but reportedly called off the engagement last February. However, the two rekindled their romance shortly after and have been spotted together frequently ever since.

BREAKiNG NEWS!!!

Thousands of people are feared dead after a massive earthquake measuring 7.3 on the Richter scale hit the impoverished Caribbean island of Haiti. The earthquake's size and proximity to populated Port-Au-Prince likely caused widespread casualties and structural damage.

Minor earthquakes are common in the Caribbean, but there has not been a major one in Haiti in 16 years. The country of about 9 million people, most of them desperately poor, has struggled with political instability and has no real construction standards.Please keep Haiti and Surroundings in your Prayers.

What In The World?

Weave Eyebrows?
Please ladies, dont follow this trend.

Horrible;

I'm not sure of the whole Story behind the Video, World Star quotes it as an angry Customer; but to me it seems like MUCH MORE. To me it seems like an angry husband/boyfriend, or shit someone who that poor lady made very upset. Watching this video made my skin crawl and actually in all honesty made me cry, how can a man be such a coward as to BEAT THE SHIT out of a WOMAN like that? Especially when not once did she fight back, or make a gesture as to trying to cause harm to him, I also don't understand why NO ONE AT ALL TRIED TO HELP HER, then for him to embarrass her at her place of work. Wow. Just Horrible.

Special Edition: Boo'd up!

With a constant on-the-go lifestyle, pressure to be successful, & infamous groupies, its no wonder that celebrities sometimes struggle to settle down with that "special someone" & make it last. Let's face it, its hard enough to make a relationship work on your own, imagine if the world was watching!  The HHC thought it would be dope to honor the celeb couples that are makin' it work & looking good while they're doin it! :). So we present to you a new category here @ HollyHood Connect where we'll be showcasing the hottest celeb couples in the game spotted being... Boo'd Up!

Beyonce & Jay-Z - The Power Couple

Say what you want about Jay & Bey, but you can't knock their hustles! From clothing lines to record labels, number one songs to snaggin' all the awards, these two run sh*t! Many people dislike the fact that they don't show affection in public, or discuss their relationship in interviews, but I respect their decision.  They say that they keep their relationship sacred by keeping it between them... Whatever makes it work hunnies! :)  I wonder when there will be some baby Jay's & Bey's runnin' around tho! :-X

Lala Vazquez & Carmelo Anthony - The Highschool Sweethearts

Okay, not literally.  But I feel like LaLa & Melo are the couple that has been together forever.  Married or not, eveyone knows that these two are in love & happy with their situation.  They have an adorably handsome son, Kiyan, together & LaLa says that their wedding is in the works.  With two busy schedules, i'm sure its nearly impossible to find time to plan a wedding, but I'm sure their love will hold them over until they tie the knot :-p

Kim Kardashian & Reggie Bush - The Break Up to Make Up Couple

Again, not literally.  However Kim & Reggie give me that passionate, break-up-to-have-make-up-sex vibe! hahaha. I know alotta people don't like that Reggie is dating Kim, but from what i've seen in interviews & the Kardashian's show on E!, I think they are very much in love & will probably get married sometime soon.  It will be a sad day for single people if these two get married 'cause Lord knows  both of them are gorgeous!

Jada Pinkett-Smith & Will Smith - The Classic Couple

Let me start by saying I ADORE Will & Jada.  I mean, I love the other couples too (or I wouldn't have blogged about them! lol) but Will & Jada are the icon for a successful marriage to me.  Even with the rumors of them being swingers, I give them props for keeping the fire alive in their marriage!  They've been married for quite a while & they still manage to have a youthful spirit about them.  Not to mention their beautiful & talented kids!  What a beautiful family :)

Paula Patton & Robin Thicke - The Sexy Couple

I honestly don't know what it is about these two, but they give off such a sensual vibe! Well, if my hubby was talkin' about "Sex Therapy" I guess I'd be sensual too :-p Maybe its all the PDA, but you can't help but notice how in love Robin & Paula are.  I love seeing them out & about because they always look so happy to be with eachother.  These two are also expecting a little one soon!  Can't wait til Paula gets a huge belly... I love the prego glow :) hahaha.

til next time babes,

Congrats KeyKey & Boobie!

MC betta "blame it"...

I was over at Necole Bitchie's site and spotted this video of Mariah Carey accepting an International Film Award for Breakthrough Actress in the powerful 2009 film "Precious".  Baby girl was definitely WASTED! hahaha. I'm not even mad though because she gave fair warning before she began her speech, "Please forgive me, because I'm a little bit, um ..". LMAO!  I'm sure her hubby Nick Cannon will have something to say in her defense :-p  Check out the video below:

Drama At Its BEST!

Just when I thought that this Crazy ass HollyWood World could get no worse; they shock me again. This morning Via good ol' Twitter, Perez Hilton & Tila Tequila were having a full on Twitter-Argument. The two were at first arguing back and forth with little petty remarks, then it got heated by Perez bringing Tilas Late Fiance Casey and her child into the loop, to even More HOT shit Perez suggested that he hopes Rihanna gets Tila "even tho he's not a fan of violence". I'm pretty sure It wont stop there, so we shall stay tuned..

Rumors are Speculating AGAIN!

Now months back, when Souljah Boy and Trina were spotted in Jamaica, they were saying that they were a Couple. Now in 2010..... Rumor is that the Two are ENGAGED!! I'm hoping this is just some horrible rumor lol. I guess in due time, the truth will come to light.

No more "JoeMaya"... Twitter goin' HAM!

If you follow rapper Joe Budden (@mousebudden) or actress/singer Somaya Reece (@Somaya_Reece) on Twitter, you already know what this blog is about.  Earlier this week, Shade 45 radio host Angela Yee interviewed Joey after his show at SOBs.  During the interview, sheasked him about his "girlfriend" Somaya Reece.  Joey & Somaya were rumored to be dating shortly after Joe & Tahiry broke up.  Joe, however, says that Somaya wasn't his chick, but rather just a friend.  In his interview with Angela Yee, he didn't disrespect Somaya, but Somaya teamed up with video vixen Gloria Velez (@GloriaVelez) and fired back at Joey retweeting people going in on Joe & tweeting messages like:

Only a HURT man would rant emotionally about a woman LIVE on a wshh webcam. No1 "secure" or "unfazed" would. Think about it! - God bless :)

This sh*t is about to get messy!  & We'll keep you updated one blog at a time!

Video: Trey Songz ft. Fabolous "Say Aah" [FULL]

Trey has released the full video to his latest single "Say Aah". I'm glad this version was released because I can't stand when videos end with "To Be Continued..." & they never continue! Anyways, heres the video hunnies, what do you guys think? Ya'll know I love me some Tremaine & Fab so i'm biased, but I'll voice my opinion anyway :-p I think the video is dope! It looks like they had lots of fun filming it & I think that it is a very cohesive transition into "I Invented Sex". Check it out & judge for yourself!



& take a look at this dope rendition of "Say Aah".  Shout Out to Eric Stanley, a very talented college student who is gettin' it IN on his violin.

Video: So Stupid, It's Funny!

I came across this parody of Young Money's Bedrock Video and this shit was so stupid and outlandish it made me laugh. Ha-Ha hope you all like it!!

Not Another One...

Its so sad, another Music Artist arrested for Domestic Violence. A few days ago Jarell Houston aka J-Boog was arrested for beating up his Longtime girlfriend/Baby Mother Jondelle Michelle Lee over a heated argument flamed by Money and "other Women". Reports are saying that JBoog and Jondelle argued for about an hour until the Police were called to their Los Angeles home and all this was happening in front of their two children. Im not sure what was running through this mans mind when all of this went down, but I wish people that are doing something with their life will think twice before they do dumb shit.

On 2 The NEXT 1 !

Could it be? If my prayers have been answered, the media will finally have to let the Chrianna scandal die as the incident happened over a year ago, and both parties have been spotted recently bringing in 2010 all Boo'd up!

Rihanna is rumored to be dating MLB cutie Matt Kemp.  Kemp is baseball player for the Los Angeles Dodgers.  The pair was spotted lookin' airport ready in on their way to Mexico shortly after the New Year.  More pics from their trip are flooding the media, & they look like they're gettin' real lovey dovey!  Props hunnie, he's a catch & he's caked up? Get it!

Chris Breezy was spotted in Miami with a new piece. She's a pretty girl, no idea whether she's in the industry or not though. From the looks of the pics, Chris didn't want her to be the next victim of the paps... but what can ya do?  It's been reported that the couple attended every party together down in MIA.  The couple is spotted to the right shopping, droppin' stacks!

I'm glad to see these two moving on! Honestly, its long overdue. Both RihRih & Breezy are young & need to be enjoying life! Hopefully, these relationships bring them true happiness... either way, we'll be bloggin about it! ;)

til next time hunnies...

R.I.P Casey Johnson

So there's sad news to report, yet again. The body of Tila Tequila's supposed Fiance Casey Johnson was found early this Moday morning, 01/04/10, in L.A. The cause of Johnson's death is unknown at this point. The name Johnson sound familiar?! Well Casey Johnson is the heir to the popular hygienic empire Johnson&Johnson.

Casey, 30, has been on the scene as a socialite for some time now. Just last month she and Tila Tequila announced their engagement via Ustream. But apparently Ms. Casey had a bit of a problem with controlled substances and was just arrested on theft charges last month also.

Casey leaves behind an adopted daughter, being cared for by her mother. We are extremely saddened by this news esp. since Brittany Murphy also just passed away. If these two deaths don't wake Young Hollywood up, we have no clue as to what will and if anything will. Straighten Up & Wake Up people. You young actresses, actors, musicians, and socialites all have bright futures don't dim your lights over something soo little but soo powerful.

 Peace & Love
