HAPPY 54TH BIRTHDAY TO THE KING OF POP!
Be sure to tune in tonight at 8:45PM to watch the Pepsi/Billboard Summer Beats concert celebrating the classic ‘Bad’ album featuring performances by Melanie Fiona, Swizz Beats, Ne-Yo and more!
August 20: Swizz Beatz, Rick Ross and Tyga hangs out with ballers Allen Iverson and Dominique Wilkins durung the Reebok Classics press conference in Las Vegas.
Before Eve hit the stage at Rock the Bells in San Bernardino this past Saturday at the tour’s kickoff, the rapper promised Rolling Stone she was there to make an impression. “If you weren’t my fan, I’m gonna make you a fan once I leave the stage,” she told us. “That, to me, is exciting.”
She performed a few new songs, including “She Bad Bad,” from her forthcoming Lip Lock album, her first since 2002’s Eve-Olution, which at the time was her third straight top 10 album. After a decade’s absence from recording, during which she focused on acting (including her own sitcom, Eve), she views this new album as a rejuvenation of her career.
“I’ve been telling people – and this is the truth – I almost feel like a new artist myself,” she said. “I’m so excited about my new music. I love performing anyway, I feel comfortable on stage. It does feel like a rebirth.”

![With Swizz Beatz’ Haute Living album on hold, the “One Man Band Man” will be delivering new music in the form of a mixtape. While a release date or title has yet to be revealed, Swizzy tells MTV News that the first single will feature Harlem’s A$AP Rocky. You can also expect guest appearances from Nas, The Lox, DMX, and Rick Ross. Speaking of Ross, Swizz explains how the boss’ Rich Forever was the inspiration behind the upcoming project.
“When the Rick Ross mixtape [Rich Forever] came out that inspired me to do a mixtape because sometimes people need to get back into the element of what you do, since they see you doing so many different ventures. My first single is with me and A$AP Rocky. People have to know that you can take it back to the basics and keep it hip-hop and keep it fun and just do what made you the person that you are. That’s why I think this mixtape is important. I’m vibing with Nas on it, Rick Ross, DMX, The Lox, people that everybody’s like ‘Man, when are you guys gonna do a track together?’ and ‘When is this happening? I thought the mix tape was a great way to bring that to life. I know that everybody was looking for a whole album. But I’m a perfectionist and I felt like I just wanted to put some more finishing touches on it and figured I don’t have to rush anything.”
