RE Bootylicious -
In an interview Rob said his money was cut 50% on Wild Wild West for using the Stevie Wonder sample and giving credit to Stevie, and that he told Matthew he wanted to play the guitar riff from Stevie Nicks' song, and use the sample, thus denying her credit. Matthew said no, he would just pay Stevie her royalties and give her credit. Fusari is the thief. Matthew and Beyonce were the honest ones, paying the original artist. In the article, he says his money was cut 50% because of Matthew's decision, which was the right thing to do.
Beyonce and Matthew done the right thing in this situation, but no one wants to give them credit for stopping Rob from cheating an artist out of her money.

both are in my top 5 female artists. What Madonna doesn't do, Beyonce makes up for

Not a huge fan of either's music but Beyonce wins the
Assalicious contest hands down. I may actually only bother
listening (if there's nothing else on the radio)to 4 songs
by each.

I was counting on some Madonna-fans to tell me what more could Beyonce do to get to that next level OR better.

Take a long vacation... btw she has a new single out a duet with Jeezy

lotusflower said:

Beyonce does have a real band behind her. And LOL at that being the one thing hindering her, like anyone from this generation really gives a shit what she does artistically so long as the cold hard classics keep coming.

Oh, and MJ adored Beyonce. Madonna, not so much.

purplesweat said:

We all love MJ, but he was a total idiot. He was only mad because Madonna was everything he was not. Smart. White. In control. A true DIVA. MJ could NEVA.

purplesweat said:

He was never the voice of reason.

purplesweat said:

Prince said that Beyonce can sing.

Just saying.

sleepyq said:

What the ever loving fuck? Please tell me you're joking. If not, you have serious issues. MJ is the best selling solo artist EVER with the best selling album EVER. Like he gave a shit what some upstart moron whose sales came from controversy thinks. Madonna was a slut and a bully towards him and only got nice once he passed away.

Oh, and don't say "white" like his vitiligo was some joke or myth. It runs in my family so shut the fuck up and educate yourself.

TonyVanDam said:

I swear people on Prince.org are the only ones who honestly believe Beyonce cannot sing. Unbelievable.

Prince is the same guy that assembled a girl group by the name of Vanity 6

purplesweat said:

See there, I knew THAT was going to wind you up. That is why I had to remind you what Prince said.

sleepyq said:

Girl...

You're joking, right?

MJ was a talented artist and performer. Madonna isn't.

purplesweat said:

I don't give a fuck about no fuckin vitiligo. I believe that he did have it, but that doesn't make him any less of a fucked up individual.

Madonna is a rich, glamorous, white woman in control of her career who demands respect for her accomplsihments. MJ was a successful, rich black man, and he could never be satisfied with that. People would have been so ready to forgive him for his bullshit and love him again, but he couldn't stop being such a disgraceful fuck up. Madonna is still here, on top of the world, raking in the dough. Where's ur boi at? He's roast beef. Don't be mad at ME.

sleepyq said:

@ the way you're rewriting history.

The only 2 problems Michael ever had with Madonna was her giving him hints that she was jealous of his success during the 1980's (according to Michael of course) and that incident during their last dinner date with Madonna taking Michael to a gay club.

midiscover said:

U also think Janet is more talented than MJ. U r in NO position to speak on talent. I never even said anything about Madonna having talent.

Now hush, boo.

TonyVanDam said:

Uh-huh, keep tellin urself that, boo.

Madonna was in control of her career and comfortable with her sexuality. She wasn't always trying to please this person or that person, trying to outsell this or outsell that. Doint eh same shit over and over again. I'm sure MJ wished his balls were as big as Madonna's. But then he would have to grow some first rite?

sleepyq said:

HAAAA!!

She IS more talented.

Who's gon' check me, boo?

sleepyq said:

To be very fair, Madonna NEVER rebelled against The Powers That Be like Michael OR 2pac did.



Just saying.

midiscover said:

U r a trip!

U think Janet is more talented than Michael, but Madonna has no talent?

Michael was more talented than Madonna and Janet combined. Fact. That doesn't make him any less of a fool, tho.

TonyVanDam said:

Oh, this again...

sleepyq said:

False.

Janet is more talented.

Get it together, sis. Writing about the shit you wrote about a decade ago, using the same dance moves and jacking the sound your little sister used before you doesn't make you more talented.

sleepyq said:

That is pure bull and you know it just as much as Mariah does. If Madonna wasn't sell enough albums, The WB Music Group would've drop her a long time ago.

sleepyq said:

You KNOW for a fact he wasn't satisfied? He told you that, did he? He may have been lonely and had serious trust issues but career-wise he seemed perfectly fine with where he was at until obviously the 2000s.

He's only a "fuck up" if you believe the tabloid bullshit going around, which you clearly do. So sad and pathetic.

Madonna has NOT been top of the world for at least ten years now, it's been 5 years since her last big hit, she is no longer garnering the excitement and controversy she once did, most either want her to retire or prefer to poke fun at her adopting children.

You must've missed the news that not only is Mike the best selling artist of 2009 (and made people WANT to buy CDs again) but This Is It is the best selling concert film of all time. Suck on that, Madonna.

sleepyq said:

Does it bother you when a few orgers keep posting that picture with the all-seeing eye on Madonna's back? The picture is just one of a few examples that she was down for the clause since day one.

Think about it.

TonyVanDam said:

And when did i ever say she did not crave fame and success? Madonna was the original famewhore!

But she took chances. Changed her look. Changed her sound. Changed her style. Evolved with the times. Does soemthing different every tour. She hit a slump in the early 90s and worked her way back up. She flopped in 2003 and came back with the biggest album of 2005. MJ fell off and could not understand the concept of flopping. Instead of trying to bounce back and win people back over, he just STOPPED and ALL the attention was on his personal life. Very stupid. But also typical MJ. The man had no common sense whatsoever.
