Chris Brown Completes Yearlong Domestic Violence Course.
Chris Brown completed his domestic violence course on Monday, and the proud graduate posted a picture of his certificate on Twitter to share with his followers.
The singer was sentenced to a domestic violence course in August 2009 after he reached a plea deal with Beverly Hills prosecutors in the wake of his conviction on charges of assault against then girlfriend Rihanna. Brown was required to take the once-a-week class for one year. The "Deuces" star was also sentenced to 180 days of community labor, placed on five years probation and issued a stay-away order from Rihanna.

2010 In 60 Seconds: Comebacks By Kanye, Eminem And More.
Well, 2010 is nearly in the books, and if you're a fan of octogenarians on the comeback trail, then congratulations on the best year of your life!
Yes, it was quite a ride ... Kanye West returned to top form, Eminem recaptured his old magic, Rihanna proved to be unstoppable, Weezy went away, and a host of new stars — everyone from Drake to --— stepped up to the plate.
And all of that was just the tip of a rather sizeable iceberg. It's pretty difficult to sum up 2010 in any way, so let's just say it was the "most" year in recent memory. The most stars, the most scandals, the most use of the word "vuvuzela." There were more shake-ups, breakups and comebacks than we can even remember ....

Wiz Khalifa Taps Snoop Dogg For New ‘Black and Yellow’ Remix.
Roll down the windows — Wiz Khalifa has recruited Snoop Dogg, along with Juicy J and T-Pain, for the official "G-mix" remix to his breakout hit, "Black & Yellow."
The two smokers trade Willie Nelson-approved lines on the blue collar number.
"Big Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa," the Left Coast veteran raps. "See on the West Coast I'm the Big Chief-a."
Meanwhile, the "Hottest Breakthrough MC of 2010" more than holds his own on the cloudy tune.
"Black and yellow, ahh, black and yellow/ See me now they treating me like I'm somebody special," Wiz spits. "Smoking on that good, know it's me soon as they smell it/ You can chill I'm the one who get it, not the one who sell it/ I grind every day, I'm balling, I can't help it/ N----s on that bullsh--, my pockets full of Celtics."

Omarion “Speedin” is VIBES FM #16 on R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart 2010.
"Speedin'" is the second single from Omarion's third studio album, Ollusion. The song, produced by 253, debuted at number 73 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.
The foundation of Speedin is its dynamic production, a simultaneously pounding and symphonic affair courtesy of frequent collaborator 253, who mercifully keeps the car-related sound effects to a minimum, but far more important to the track’s success is Omarion himself, who turns in the kind of emotional, wide-ranging vocal performance he first hinted he was capable of on Ice Box. In other words, if you thought Omarion was only capable of dance friendly r&b-pop tunes, Speedin should help put that myth to rest. ....

T.I. Thanks Fans For Supporting No Mercy.
"What up world? First off I'd like to thank everybody again for going out and supporting the 'Hustle' yet again with No Mercy last week. I can't say enough on how much I appreciate the support and all the positive feedback.

I put so much of myself into what I do," he said.

I love hearing your opinions on what songs you like most for the next singles. We are taking all of them into consideration as we decide right now on which direction to head in."...

T.I. ‘Might Feel Disappointed’ In Album Debut, DJ Drama Says.
T.I. is sitting behind bars, but if the rapper can take any solace from his situation, it's that his latest effort No Mercy had a strong debut, landing at #4 on next week's Billboard 200.
But T.I. associate DJ Drama, thinks the rapper probably has mixed feelings about the news that his album pushed nearly 160,000 units last week.
"Tip is the type of guy that, I'm sure, no matter how high it debuted, he might feel disappointed, because he's not here, [and he might] feel like he could have done better," Drama said. "If it does whatever numbers it does, with him being here, it might have done double that. I think this [release] is the toughest one for him. I been a part of his career for the last 10 years, and I seen him in and out of legal problems. But I think this one is a little bit different. Hopefully, this one is the most life-changing one for him.....
