THE BEAT: Salt 'n' Pepa, Thicke, more
As if reality television couldn't get more hood, we've now learned that the legendary female rap group, Salt 'N' Pepa, have teamed up with VH1 for their own show, called - GASP - "The Salt 'N' Pepa Show." The show will center around the ladies attempt at reuniting with one another, on a personal and professional level. With this theme in mind, we can probably expect more drama than "Flavor of Love." The show is expected to air in 2008.
Despite their shared status as white R&B singers, Robin Thicke maintains he's nothing like Justin Timberlake. In the July '07 issue of Elle, Thicke tells CNN correspondent (and former VIBE contrib.) Lola Ogunnaike, "[Timberlake] makes futuristic dance music, and I make old soul... Justin is more of a male Madonna. I'm like Al Green's distant white cousin." Thicke also details his success, his childhood, and meeting his wife, actress Paula Patton, at age 14, in a club, while outfitted entirely in Cross Colours. "I roll up on to her, and she's looking at me like, 'I know this white boy can't dance,'" he tells Ogunnaike. But that was just growing pains. Thicke won Patton over with his rendition of Jodeci's "Forever My Lady," and left the footwork to JT's blonde ambition.

Of course, here goes the media doing their typical bullcrap... Robin Thicke has NOTHING against Justin Timberlake, there is absolutely no BEEF! How are you gonna have beef with someone who's not in the same musical genre as you? That makes no sense. Robin is R&B, Justin is Pop. Plain and simple. I wish magazines like this would stop trying to START SOME BASELESS MESS...

Robin Thicke isn't full of himself like little Justin. Just ask his pimp daddy Timberlard. Blue-eyed soul singers should always give mad props to the makers of the genre. All I'ma say is that Justin dissed both Prince and Janet in the stupid song of his Poppa. If that ain't enough to boycott his monkeyface, I don't know what is. Prince could wipe the floor with that scruffy sack of boy band fluff. And I'm not over how he ripped a top open and JJ took the hit.

Robin Thicke is a true soul singer. I wish they would stop comparing him to Justin Fakerlake. He is a pop dude that jumped on the rnb bandwagon because it was popular.

Timberlake does plenty of r&b soul. Thicke is a bore compared to Timberlake.
