In fact I'm surprised anybody thinks she has talent, who the hell decides that someone like that can break into the music industy? If it were as easy as that to break into the music industry my band would probably be new Linkin Park and my cat would replace the Crazy Frog (GIHTFT,God I hate That Fucking Thing)

Well, apparently Jay-Z saw something, seeing as he signed her.

I guess I can kind of understand why Mike or Jay would see something from her....but yeah, she really does sound like...cuh-rap. The beats aren't the worst ever, but i must admit, her voice is annoying the shit out of me lol. She is like, the female version of Eminem, in a way.

'The Rising Tied' has dropped out of the Billboard top 200 (albums).

Derek · Dec 9, 2005

Mike needs to stop following Jay-Z around and basing his career around what Jay suggests.

Mike's just about the only talented artist Jay has worked with in the past few years. That should be enough to send up a red flag about Jay's artist signing choices.

Linkin Inking New Deal

12/08/2005 2:50 PM, E! Online
Josh Grossberg

Linkin Park is ready to park the band's burgeoning beef with its label.
The rap-rockers lashed out at Warner Music Group in May, accusing the company of enriching investors at the expense of its artists, and threatened to delay their next release. Many music-biz observers thought the move was more a negotiating ploy than an altruistic stance.
In any case, Linkin Park is reportedly close to a new deal that will see the band back in the studio ASAP.
"We're resolving our differences and we're looking forward to putting out a record next year," guitarist Brad Delson told Billboard.com.
Back in May, Linkin Park claimed that since signing with Warner in 1999 the band had moved more than 35 million albums worldwide and accounted for approximately 10 percent of the label's music sales thanks to the multiplatinum Hybrid Theory, Meteora and last year's Collision Course<.
The SoCal outfit, which still has four albums left to go on its original contract, issued a statement saying Warner's business practices essentially screwed label artists out of proper compensation.
As an example, the group cited Warner Music's IPO after being spun off last year from Time Warner. The music company was snapped up by a consortium of private equity firms led by media mogul Edgar Bronfman Jr., who according to Linkin Park, stood to make $1.4 billion from the $2.6 billion stock offering, while noting that Linkin Park, Warner's biggest act, netted nothing.
The Grammy-winning sextet threatened to hold off recording its next album, initially scheduled for spring 2006, until it got a bigger slice of the pie.
Warner balked, accusing the band of using "fuzzy math" and dreaming up "fictitious numbers" as a ruse to score a better deal from the label, including a $50 million to $60 million advance and a 50-50 profit split.
While both sides at an impasse, the Linkin Parkers at least kept up the appearance that they were no longer writing tunes together, with various members embarking on solo projects.
Emcee Mike Shinoda is going out on tour with his hip-hop side project, Fort Minor, in early 2006 in support of the album The Rising Tied, which hit the Billboard charts at number 60 last week.
Linkin's deejay, Joseph Hahn, meanwhile is busy finishing The Seed, a short film about a veteran who goes crazy on the streets of Los Angeles. He hopes to premiere in January at one of the Sundane's side festivals.
And frontman Chester Bennington has been preoccupied with his divorce from his wife of nine years, Samantha. The split was amicable and the pair are said to be seeking joint custody of their three-year-old son, Draven.
But now that a new deal has been struck, Shinoda tells Billboard.com that the group has "been working on new stuff for at least a month" now. He'll also be credited as a producer on the new record, which he says will likely take Linkin Park in a new direction.
While the band has no intention of resting on its laurels, Linkin Park has plenty of success to savor. The group scored a Grammy nomination Thursday for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for the Jay-Z-aided "Numb/Encore." The 48th Annual Grammy Awards will air live from Los Angeles on CBS Feb. 8.

Snow White Tan Album Is Done

As many of you already know, we (JK) have also completed a solo record with Chester Bennington. We are calling the band Snow White Tan, until we decide to not call it that. As of now, the band consists of Amir, Chester and I. Because of Chester's Linkin Park obligations, we have no information regarding WHEN the record will be released- but it is done, and it will come out. We (JK) are planning on doing some un-announced dates in Southern California after the first of the year. We may post some of the dates on Myspace- but who knows.. it's alot more fun to just go out and play for strangers. RS

Numb/Encore in Miami Vice trailer

Head over to http://www.bacardilive.com/ to see the trailer for Miame Vice, which has Numb/Encore playing through it. The song is cut up to fit the trailer and sounds cool, the movie doesn't look too special though.

EDIT: The trailer is at a Bicardi website because they are sponsoring the movie, just in case anyone thought it was odd.

Dave Grohl vs. Linkin Park and Motley Crue (What do u think about this?)
Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has derided bands, including Linkin Park and Mötley Crüe, for using backing tracks when they perform live.

He explains, "We don't try to play perfect, like on the record. We don't use backing tracks. That's kind of a crutch other bands have up their sleeve.

"I'd rather sound awful and have the chance to change things at a whim than sound like Linkin Park or Mötley Crüe because of today's technology.
"They feel naked when it comes to playing live."
