Highly anticipated upcoming album from T.I., Paper Trail, has been delayed yet again. Originally slated for a release in September, the album was moved to August 12. It did not stay there for long, however, as the date changed to September 2 and then September 9.
According to Billboard, Paper Trail has been pushed back to September 30. "We're not ready yet," said the rapper's publicist, who explained that that the video for the first official single, "Whatever You Like," "is being shot today and we need more time." The clip will be available in roughly two weeks.
T.I.'s current single, "No Matter What," has been out since April and reached 42 on Billboard's "Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs" chart.

Kelly Rowland Releases Another Solo Album
Kelly Rowland is putting out yet another album:
“I definitely want a new sound so I am jamming in the studio with amazing musicians who just love music.” Rowland also revealed that she is hoping her third LP will be “deeper” and more “inspiring” than her first two solo albums.
Kudos to Kelly keeping up that ‘never give up steez’, but baby girl has to draw the line somewhere. We wish her the best of luck with this project.
The Ban of Baggy Pants and Saggin
We are not a communist country ...we believe in freedom of speech and freedom of expression. Our country is brought up on Capitalism and freedom and for a county to ban something as clothing out right wrong. It is a $500.00 dollar fine is you are caught wearing your pants saggin'. This really needs to stop and American needs to wake up and see what is happening around the country, because if they are doing it there, it's only a matter of time before they gonna try and ban it in your area. Stand up for your believes, and believe it or not things in congress and politics tend to work best when people stand up on paper. Make a protest have 10,000.00 people sign what you believe and take it to congress or your community leader and stand your ground, you will get further.
Now as for saggin' just like back in the day it's OK if you can't do it at school. That's understandable. they did then and they gonna do it now, but for everyday. It's a free country and everyone is entitled to wear what they want, when they want, and how they want. It's called freedom of expression and baggy pants or saggin' is just another generations way of expression influenced by culture today and for the elders, well you have to recognize it. you don't have to understand it, just know and if it's not your thing then OK, fine you had your thing in your day now it's their time. It's called evolution people let people live it for now cause you only get it this one time and you better make the best use of your time no matter how long you are around. Finally, for those of you who just know better and you should have turned in the Hip Hop Card. Men this is you there comes a time when you grow up and the saggin' is for 11ish to mid 30's but past that you need to turn in the card. Same goes for throwbacks, and hip hop gear that is just to young for you. If you reaching trying to grasp that youth you once had, remember the key thing is the word had, so with that said realize your age you can still be young, you can still be stylish, but you need to be real with yourself.

JOHNNY CASH REMIXED SET FOR OCTOBER 14 RELEASE ON COMPADRE RECORDS
(Houston, TX) Compadre Records/Music World Music has announced the release of JOHNNY CASH REMIXED, featuring bold new interpretations of Johnny Cash classics from top music remixers and producers who were recruited to take the original master recordings and infuse them with the sounds and technology of modern music styles such as hip hop and dance music. The album, which includes a performance from Snoop Dogg, will be available in stores and online on October 14. A vinyl deluxe-edition will be available on September 23 in select independent record stores. Johnny Cash Remixed is a tribute to the legacy of an American music icon whose work has touched every contemporary genre, and has the blessing and support of the custodians of Johnny Cash’s legacy. “My father made his stead by defying the expected and accepted way of things” says John Carter Cash son of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash and Executive Producer of the Academy Award©-winning film Walk the Line. “He set the standard at the same time. He would have loved this remix record. While it stays true to the original recordings, this CD touches on undiscovered ground. This is what my father was about: staying true to tradition while creating groundbreaking new music.” Johnny Cash classics were licensed from Cash’s first record label, the legendary Sun Records, also the first record label home of luminaries such as Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Roy Orbison. The original tracks, recorded with Cash’s first band the Tennessee Two from 1956-1959, were pure and stark, with only the essentials; guitar, light percussion and Johnny Cash’s unmistakable voice and presence. The new mixes maintain this fantastic charm and personality while filing out the sound and creating daring re-interpretations. The remixed tracks (and remixers) include "I Walk The Line" featuring Snoop Dogg (QDT, the new production team led by Snoop Dogg – featuring Snoop, Teddy Riley and DJ Quik), “Country Boy” (Sonny J, whose album will be released in August on Astralwerks US), “Get Rhythm” (Philip Steir, the only remixer allowed to work with the Reprise Records Frank Sinatra collection), “Leave that Junk Alone” (Alabama 3, creators of The Sopranos theme song), “Folsom Prison Blues” (the legendary Pete Rock), “Hey Porter” (Mocean Worker, whose remix of Elvis Presley’s “Burnin’ Love” was used as a soundtrack to Honda’s Superbowl TV commercial), “Sugartime” (Kennedy, cornerstone of the new UK Dirty Pop movement), “Trail to Mexico (indie favorite Mexican Institute of Sound/MIS), “Doin’ My Time” (The Heavy, critically-acclaimed UK-based band) and “Wide Open Road” (Count de Money) among others. A documentary following the making on this album is also in production, produced by Phear Creative in NYC. This short film features interviews from select remixers, filmed in their home studios, including Snoop Dogg captured at the Cash Recording Cabin in Hendersonville, Tennessee. Johnny Cash Remixed is Executive Produced by John Carter Cash, Snoop Dogg, and Mathew Knowles for Music World Productions, Inc. and Co-Executive Produced by Brad Turcotte for Compadre Records/Music World Music and Gregg DeMammos for DeMammos Entertainment.
