Letoya Luckett is a natural beauty on the set of Essence Magazine’s latest photoshoot which I am very familiar with being that Lettice Graham, my first interview guest at Disilgold SOUL Magazine,  filled us in on the gracious hospitality of the magazine when Susan Taylor of Editor-in-Chief. Since then she’s graced the cover of Michael Cunningham’s beauty guide, Queens and is a Golden Image Award Winner. If I am not mistaken you can check out Lettice Graham in the January 2006 Issue of Essence featuring Angela Bassette on the Cover. The cover is also, featured in the Kennedy Center in Harlem so that children will always  have a role model like Lettice Graham who is now 84.

Yes, Disilgold SOUL founder Heather Covington met Aaliyah in Manhattan before she tragically passed away in an overloaded flight while filming a Hype Williams video for “Don’t Rock the Boat.” Her entire crew was consumed in the accident that left many people friends, family and fans shocked because she was just on her way to releasing one of her best albums to date and working on Ann Rice’s  film adaptation of her book, Queen of the Damned. Some say the makings of this movie was a jinx, but in actuality Aaliyah wanted to get back early to the side of her mother who was not feeling well at the time and she was overly tired.

What Barack Obama Wore on the View

Barack Obama made history today as the 1st president to ever visit a day time talk show during presidency. Dressed like a president in casual attire,  his presence illuminated the audience and had the very chatty, out spoken hosts blushing like little highschool girls. I am sure  First Lady Michelle Obama was checking those femme fatale mamas.

Literary Dishcom Reviews Power Video featuring Kanye West

icon1 Posted by prqueen in BREAKING NEWS, CELEBRITY DISH, MOVIE DISH, MUSIC DISH on 07 27th, 2010 | 43 Comments

Today Kanye West debuted his new video, POWER, on MTV which received mixed reviews. On one spectrum, the video seems to idolize self-glorification and retribution among angels mixed with sensuality and beautification amid  gravitating female nudity, while others may argue that his still life portrait in motion is nothing more than coveted exploitation of  the female anatomy draped in borderline pornography.

I personally, believe it is one of those dreams young thugs have growing up and Kanye gets to live out his fantasies of being adorned by  dozens of women in a video.I doubt Kanye’ will ever live up to that fantasy in real life because Hip Hop artists often sing about what they wish they could have, but can’t have, but it’s a pretty good song an I would say among the top ten out there.

The scorned Hip Hop star nearly ruined his career to the point of no return at several award shows so it seems, but simultaneously made daily headlines, thus gaining POWER as the most discussed topic of the year. He masterfully built momentum with a iron clad website showcasing his depiction of the world, and  now sheepishly returns as the bad seed of Hip Hop  with an over-sized doped chain dressed in classic everyday hood wear, and exerting his authority in the industry on top of extreme  masculinity without apologies.

“POWER,” is a song everyone thought was just a fly-by -night experiment and reintroduction of a Hip Hop icon fallen from disgrace that has regained its momentum as the undisputed anthem of indeed, HIP HOP POWER. Here’s to Kanye West who’s self-inflicting shrine of POWER may very well be his destiny if he plays his cards right, maintains discipline with his new emergence onto the Twitter community that was dying a slow death of immorality, and if he can continue to give people what they want… and that’s powerful HIP HOP music. Kanye is certainly back and indeed, never left, but this is one of those big comebacks you can’t deny. It’s up to Kanye to handle the power he’s been dealt and people have already started a countdown clock to Kanye’s next  meltdown. I have faith that he is indeed going to claim Elvis’s reign. Do you believe in Kanye?

by Heather Covington

www.disilgold.com

A universal legend, Roberta Flack arrived on the set of my first television show and I was amazed by her grace, confidence and poise. A beautiful spirit, she wanted to make sure her hair was in tact and  chuckled over her blouse being cut too low for a family channel, but we let Roberta be herself. She mentioned how she felt about Lauryn Hill doing a remake of her song, but actually it was a song that she helped popularize as well.

New Video Review: The Little Drummer Boy featuring Steph Jones

icon1 Posted by prqueen in BREAKING NEWS on 07 21st, 2010 | 67 Comments

Just a day ago we featured Steph Jones new song, BEA utiful, which struck a striking similarity to A HA’s ‘Take on Me’ single from way back. A lot of his fans said there is no correlation, just a simple chord that is the same on all recorders that you can either speed up or slow down. I took out my old recorder and was able to get a classic Public Enemy beat, so I do see what folks are talking about, and sobeit, I stand accused.

Ask Heather- Does Steph Jones BEAUTIFUL sounds similar to another song?

icon1 Posted by prqueen in BREAKING NEWS on 07 20th, 2010 | 74 Comments

 

 

You got me.  Steph Jones new song, Beautiful does sound very familiar and since you asked, I hear a little of the group, A HA, from their hit way back called Take on Me. Here are both songs. Listen and decide for yourself if I found that correlation. Know I am too young to call myself a MUSIC MAVEN, but all good music was passed on to me. Thanks for the question. More than likely whomever rearranged this song got clearance.

Thanks to MYSPACE everyone is a beat maker, but often take snippets of other songs and think young music listeners don’t know their music.

While there is nothing wrong for the new to reinvent the old, or rather recreate the wheel since if it ain’t broke don’t fix it, but total originality will earn you more respect. Once people find out that one’s whole album has been sampled, they get pissed off. Anyway,this week Disilgold.com features “Hard Times” by John Legend featuring the Roots on the music review. Nothing, but pure instrumentation. Already, the collaboration is rating well with the Disilgold.com community.

When I first heard Trey Songz music from his debut album, there was something about the voice that just gravitated my attention like no other singer out at that time that I would actually listen to his lyrics. His music and lyrics are like a story embellished with real emotions, vibes, tenors and alto melodic grunts and grinds all mixed into one that listeners can feel from the heart. It’s like he’s trying to find his voice, but already has and just keeps pushing for his own sound as evident when he sang a rendition of Prince’s ‘Purple Reign’ for the BET 2010 AWARDS. i mean he just killed it. Prince’s face  even scrunched up because he really “Treyed” out Prince’s song.

Oh No, Kitty Kelly Tell All Oprah Biography Inks Movie Deal

icon1 Posted by prqueen in BREAKING NEWS on 07 18th, 2010 | 91 Comments

oprah

 According to  EOnline.com, Oprah’s  rival Kitty Kelly has inked a movie deal  for her unauthorized biography about Oprah Winfrey called, Oprah, but not so fast. Oprah has trademarked her name so she will be receiving royalties off the film.  What’s worse is that some of Oprah’s best friends in Hollywood are being considered as this Dream Cast team which is ridiculous. 

 

 What’s more insulting, the producer, Larry Thompson want’s to premiere the movie as Oprah Winfrey sings off from her talk show according to POPEATER.com, because it will have a bigger  buzz when she’s gone. What a shame for a close confidant to ruin this great woman’s illustrious career as has been done to all black stars. Have you been keeping track? The only person who has made it unscathed is her friend, Maya Angelou, god bless here, but I won’t be surprised if there is a scene tainting their friendship. With all of Oprah’s money I wonder why che cannot stop this movie from airing. I guess it all comes with the territory and will leave viewers for many years with something to talk about.

Here are pics of www.Popeater.com dream cast suggestions, but can you guess which role each dream cast member is suggested to play? So obvious, but I guess  Zoe might have to gain weight to play Gayle King. It’s a trap. Don’t do it Zoe!

Keri Hilson and The Clutch in Bitter Battle over Mary J. Blige Track Law Suit

According to Lee Bailey’s EURWEB.COM it is being reported that “The Clutch” of which singer Keri Hilson is a member of is being sued for use of  track for mega song  hit, “Take Me As I Am.”  It’s amazing how karma creeps on artists just as they make it, but equally disturbing how tracks get passed through music mills on multiple recordings. I sure do hope Keri’s songs and The Clutch don’t have any more mega hits using copyrighted tracks because that would be the downfall of a lot of artists with songs written by this tsuper songwriting team. One thing about being a member of SGA,BMI, ASCAP, one should have lawyers that understand how to acquie consent for changes in composition as well as reversion clauses, and so all past affiliated parties, songwriters, track producers and singers  can’t come back to bite these talented song writers in the ass. Keri Hilson will get through this, too.

The article mentions,

*Mary J. Blige and production crew “The Clutch,” which includes R&B singer Keri Hilson, are being sued for copyright infringement over Blige’s hit single “Take Me As I Am.”

In the lawsuit filed in US District Court in the Central District of Californi, songwriters Jay Ballard and Kim Jones claim Blige and The Clutch stole their track, which was released in 1995, and used it for her hit 2005 song of the same name.” -SOURCE: EURWEB.COM

Big birthday wishes to New York’s homegrown diva, Wendy Williams. Her guests every now and then stir up a grand buzz across the internet. One guest was T.I. who got an early departure from his prison sentence for good behavior after getting mixed up in a gun custody dispute over a hail of bullets shot and killing a friend. T.I. did not pardon his possession of a gun for defense, but did mention that many homes in the ATL had been robbed.
