: Below are the people that MediaTakeOut.com thinks you should watch in 2008...
Jermaine Dupri - As the new head of Def Jam Records, all eyes in the industry will be squarely on him.Brandy - With the legal issues surrounding the car crash finally behind her and an album due in 2008, Brandy is poised for a Mariah-esque comeback.
Usher - His first hit Make Love In The Club (produced by Polow Da Don) is a certified banger. Expect Usher to reclaim his throne in 2008
Amy Winehouse – Call us crazy, but if this chick could ever clean herself up, she could actually become a mega-star.
MediaTakeOut.com - We started off 2007 just another Black gossip blog. But we ended it as the most visited Black Website in the world and only slightly behind TMZ and Perezhilton in terms of traffic and popularity. Expect even more in 2008 - we have 3 new original reality series in the works (all of which are COMPLETELY off the chains). And our editor Fred Mwangaguhunga will be making a bunch of TV appearances - dishing the dirt on all your favorite celebs.
Angel Lola Luv - She burst onto the scene in 2007 as the hottest video chick in the game. We can only imagine where that booty will take her this year
Barack Obama - This man deserves to be the next President Of The United States. And call us crazy, but we think it just might happen...
Miguel Cotto - Quite possibly the only man who can beat Floyd Mayweather. Look for the Mayweather-Cotto superfight to happen in 2008.
Wendy Williams - The Queen Of All Media makes her move into television in 2008. Given her track record, Tyra should be shaking in her boots...
Ciara - CiCi's starring in a film adaptation of Mama I Want To Sing which is scheduled to be released this Spring. And we're hearing that her performance was amazing.
How the *** can you toot your own horn? MTO is one *** *** site for being WRONG ABOUT 90% of the time! Fred you still look like a *** ninja turtle!! I say it to the DAY I D-I-E!!!!!!! I knew when I clicked the link it was going to say MTO. Getting just like Perez hating on celebs just to be one! Why do you need three shows?
right.... angel lola luv. sure...i see her future and wow.. its blank... watch out for her ma ***...better yet her *ass*
and as for that sasquatch beastly looking ugly thing called wendy williams. she needs to go back to the back of the dumpster in the projects and continue sucking lil ni**as off for pennies
WELL I'M NOT REALLY SURE ABOUT THE STATS OF BOXERS. . .
BUT FLOYD WAS ON THE RADIO HERE IN THE ATL. AND HE SOUNDS SOOOOOOOOOO ARROGANT AND SELF-CENTERED ! ! HE KEPT REFERRING TO HIMSELF AS "FLOYD MONEY MAYWHETHER". SAYING "YOU NAME IT I, GOT IT." I MEAN IT WAS SOMETHING YOU JUST HAD TO HEAR TO HEAR THE ARROGANCE.
HE ALSO SAID HE MADE $75 MIL THIS YEAR. AND THERE WILL BE NO FIGHTS FOR HIM NEXT YEAR ! !
DON'T GET ME WRONG I LOVE TO SEE ANY SUCCESSFUL BLACK PERSON BUT D/A/M/*** FLOYD ! ! ! TONE IT DOWN A BIT!
SO, I'M SAYING ALL THAT TO SAY . . I HOPE COTTO BEATS HIS A/S/S IF THEY DO FIGHT ! ! !
SO, I'M SAYING ALL THAT TO SAY . . I HOPE COTTO BEATS HIS A/S/S IF THEY DO FIGHT ! ! !
SO, I'M SAYING ALL THAT TO SAY . . I HOPE COTTO BEATS HIS A/S/S IF THEY DO FIGHT ! ! !
AND TO THINK I USED TO LIKE FLOYD UNTIL I HEARD HIM ON THE RADIO THIS WEEKEND !
Brandy, Usher and Amy Winehouse = their careers are all going down the tubes. BRITNEY has more of a chance at success than these guys
Bransy will just disappear, Usher will divorce Maneka and the *** will take half and Amy Winehouse will probably O.D.!
Wendy Williams = No comment on that ugly *** ***
Angel Lola Luv = Nothin but a walkin, (barely) talkin ***. All I'm watchin for in her future is a BABY MAMA DRAMA
Strike these *** OFF your list!
I agree with everything on this list. Except *** Ciara and Brandy I don't care what they do neither one of them can sing and they not drop dead gorgeous so unless they get with a plastic surgeon and look better than Riahnna or Beyonce in '08 I dont see them making any bigger ***.
FreshFromTheStreetz.blogspot.com
SO MANY PEOPLE JUST BE HATING ON MA GIRL BRANDY BUT I UNDERSTAND EVRYONE JUST HAVE THEIR HEAD IN BEYONCE *** THEY DONT WANNA GIVE ANY OTHER R&B CHICK A CHANCE.......SHE AN'T GOING TO BE ON TOP FOEVER.....REMEMBER BRANDY HAD A SUPER CAREER ON TOP LIKE BEYONCE. SO DONT THINK BEYONCE WILL LAST FOEVER.BESIDES BRANDY DESERVES 08 TO BE HER YEAR.
@ MOCCASIN1447 see what you don't know is that Angel Lola Luv actually is gorgeous in the face unlike Buffy who looks like McGruff in the face. So its gonna have to be an even more gorgeous girl facially with a bigger *** and chest to take Angel out. And everyone can buy themselves a bigger *** and chest but not a pretty face Lil Kim and Michael Jackson are prime examples that you can't buy a nice looking face it has to be natural.
this list is weak. i see usher, he is a definite, maybe obama, with some help ciara, i know everyone will not agree. she is a great dancer, but i can not stomach her singing sometimes. 50 appearing that video with her really gave her a push up the ladder. don't get me wrong, she will become great, but not over ***. she is 22 and that matrix move will soon become boring so she has to try something else. she needs a good hookup with an established rapper, singer or actor. someone who can give her a quick push to that status she is trying so hard to reach before she is 25. but all in all she is adorable.
@tjtrae1--you R so right...real talk that is really sad...she needs to put the pipe and the blow down and say no to drugs..she can still make paper because alot of people dig her even tho she's a head....no comment on FRED and we talked about WENDY yesterday....but @bigbootyboy1---no disrespect but can you please pull your pants up?...that looks bugged out...i don't think i have ever seen a man with a *** like that in life...wow..
jermaine dupri *** be able to file head of household on his taxes much less take the helm of def jam! wendy wont be going far as long as she has her dead weight donkey of a sidekick charlemagne on her side. lola luv will fade into obscurity as soon as someone finds a bigger jucier bionic booty. brandy had her chance a couple years ago with that full moon album. usher better come better than that piece of dookie song with luda and the other brick same girl if he wants to top confessions and be back on top and keep his pet wife in the closet too! mto: i rate mto but stop reaching! better sometimes to say nothing than to fill up space with garbage...miguel cotto is a ***...amy winehouse is gonna die and its sad because she is so dope(no pun intended) if barack obama wins, it will be sad because he will be the fall guy for the humongous recession thats about to hit due to your current presidents deficit spending on his wars...remember what happened when david dinkins won as mayor of nyc after 16 years of *** corruption? fall guy!! ciara sure can dance!
Bran Amy and Barack YES everybody else ESPECIALLY MTO and Wendy Williams NO. Usher I just think after being married with KIDSSS plural...He just aint gone be able to be the Usher he once was and that will dissapoint his younger fans. Maybe he will develop into a more laid back less dancing not so much a wanna be "*** symbol" usher. I could see him making some good r&b tho the last album was a classic I wanna see him make it happen again if not UP it!
Well I'm looking forward to Brandy new album and of course Barack winning the election! Now as far as this tranny coke *** Wendy Williams, didn't she have a bomb album, didn't her two tv shows bomb, and now a talk show?? And you say Tyra should be shaking in her boots??? lmaoooooooo! I give Wendy two episodes and she'll be cancelled!She needs to grow the *** up first and stop tryna be a grown *** thug, then maybe she'll earn the respect!
About Barack, I don't think so. I think he will be sucessful if he doesn't win presidency, which he likely won't. But I think he'll learn from his experience and stay under the rador untill the next election. Amy Wh., I think people won't listen to her because of her crazy antics, people I think will start to ignore her because of her antics no mater how talented she is. I think Lola Luv, well I think she will have the longest 'career' out of all the video vixens, but she still will have a shelf life. Everyone else on the else will be people to watch.
Oh, and Brandy, I doubt she can make a comeback, maybe moderate sucess at most. And Freddie boy, maybe your site is hot for the MOMENT. But to have longetivity you can't always make up lies or down black people. I use to visit B****p's webisite and I came to yours. But I just visit the forum section for the most part. Saying Akon's brother is too dark, well implying, calling all the black celebs *** or some other B.S. Keeping doing ish like that and see if it is true, see if this site will reamain the most visited bu Blacks. I just might go back to B-p's website or another.
blackdaddy1696 FRED LOOKS LIKE A BALD HEAD SPIKE LEE! ************************************************* LOL Yup!!
How can his self-hating *** approve some of those Dumb-*** post. It's OK to have fun, but some of these posts are like, Huh? I take the self-hatred comment back. I think it's all about the money, but no responsibility. So, yes he is someone to watch.
wow that is a wack list!! i am hoping Jermaine does his thing with Def Jam and Ciara makes some better music but other than that the list sucks! and who cares about brandy's comeback..she should be in jail because HELLO PEOPLE,she killed a woman!! so its ok to commit manslaughter because she's a celeb?? GET REAL!! someone is dead because of her! Amy Winehouse? i'm still trying to figure out who she is...
FOR THE RECORD MTO YOU HAD UNDER 1 MILLION HITS IN DECEMBER, TMZ HAD OVER 3.5 MILLION IN DECEMBER, I'M NOT GETTING INTO WHERE YOU RANK, BUT I GOT SOURCES, DON'T PLAY THE PUBLIC LIKE MILLI VANILLI... SO YOU NEED TO COME UP WITH SOME 1ST HAND, HARDCORE EVIDENCE & QUALITY *** TO BE IN THE ELITE FOR 2008!!! TO FLAG POST... GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT, THE FAULT WAS NOT BRANDY IT WAS THE DRIVER INFRONT OF THE LADY THAT DIED, READ THE POLICE RECORD, OH MY BAD THAT WAS ON TMZ, OOOPS MTO!
i know how to make mto a REAL hit. i take my foot and kick that spike-lee lookin,stupid,***, beyonce-lovin,ninja turtle donnetelo-lookin, uneducated,moronic,unreliable fred in his ugly,ashy,*** target azz so hard he actually manages to get off his own d*ck for more than two seconds.
i agree with err1 else on this list except cotto cuz prettyboi will tear that *** up.
@Thekute1
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE JUST AS STUPID AS THEY COME! WHY DON'T YOU DO SOME *** RESEARCH THN STATE YOUR OPINION!
YOU SAY MORE STRAIGHT PEOPLE HAVE HIV THAN *** PEOPLE... WELL YEAH... STRAIGHT WOMEN DO... BUT WHY?!?! BECAUSE OF *** THUG A$$ DUDES WHO GIVE IT TO THEM! HOW DARE YOU COME ON HERE AND START TALKIN ISH WHEN YO UDON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. ALL I CAN FIGURE IS THAT YOU ARE EITHER *** YOURSELF OR YOU ARE SOME SECLUDED WHITE *** THAT DON'T KNOW *** ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE HOOD! SO YOU *** THE HELL UP!
AND I DIDN'T SAY SPECIFICALLY THAT HE HAD HIV BUT WHAT I DID SAY WAS THAT TYPE OF BEHAVIOR IS WHY HIV IS ON THE RISE! IT'S NOT BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE BEING IRRESPONSIBLE. SOME WOMEN ARE MARRIED EVEN. AND IF PEOPLE LIKE YOU "KUTE1" WOULD LIVE LIFE THE RIGHT WAY WE WOULDNT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. CAUSE I KNOW ONE THING, IF SOME DOWN LOW DUDE EVER GAVE ME SOMETHING HE WOULDN'T EVEN GET THE CHANCE TO DIE FROM THE DISEASE HE WOULDNT LIVE THAT LONG!
AND THAT'S DIRECTED TO YOU AND NO ONE ELSE.. MY ISSUE IS WITH YOU ***!
FINALLY........THE MISSING PIECE OF THIS PUZZLE. NOW I SEE WHY MTO IS ALWAYS DOWNING OUR BLACK PEOPLE. THE EDITOR IS AFRICAN, AND AS WE ALL KNOW, MOST AFRICANS BELIEVE THAT BLACKS ARE "BENEATH" THEM. I HAVE HEARD AFRICANS IN PUBLIC PUTTING BLACKS DOWN. COMMENTS LIKE "I AM NOT DOWN WITH TUPAC", "I AM NOT A THUG OR YOUR BROTHER" RUN RAMPID IN THE AFRICAN COMMUNITY. PEOPLE, WAKE UP AND LISTEN TO AFRICANS WHEN THEY SPEAK BECAUSE MOST OF THE TIME THEY ARE SAYING NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT YOU!! CASE IN POINT, MTO AND FRED BAMBADA!!
@Big Booty Boy, You are Grosssssssss with that tainted ***. @ as for you Kute one it's guys like poison *** and maybe your self is the reason for the rise in HIV in our community because you go after straight men passing the poison in hopes of turn them out. So stop it please I work at the DOOR in NYC a school dedicated to *** and Bi teens as well as adult counseling for HIV and AIDS stats.
OBAMA SHOULD BE #1.
WE NEED SOMEONE TO RESTORE PRIDE IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY. IF MORE OF THE UNDERPRIVILEDGES AND LAZY BLACK MEN WOULD LOOK TO OBAMA AS INSPIRATION THINGS WOULD SURELY GET BETTER. OUR BLACK MEN NEED INSPIRATION AND I FEEL OBAMA IS AN EXCELLENT ROLE MODEL.
BLACK MEN PLEASE STEP UP IN 2008.
ACTUALLY BECAUSE FAITHFUL TO 1 CHICK.
IF NOT LET ALL CHICKS KNOW IF YOU WANT TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP OR NOT. THAT WAY THE GAMES CAN END AND YOU CAN CROSS TOWARDS BECOMING A MAN.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR CHILDREN!
GET A JOB. AND START PLANNING ON HAVING A CAREER. WHATS THE DIFFERENCE? A JOB IS JUST THAT. A CAREER IS LOOKING AND WORKING ON SOEMHTING THAT SOCIETY WILL ALWAYS NEED SO YOU CAN S-T-A-Y GAINFULLY EMPLOYED AND MAKE SMART STRATEGIC MOVES TO PROGRESS FROM ONE JOB TO THE NEXT. GET A CAREER!
GET A BLACK WOMAN. TAKE PRIDE AND HER. AND GET A A GOOD ONE NOT A HO.
1. Jermaine Dupri - No one's watching Def Jam so no one will be watching him. He's a safe yes man for LA Reid. Before you know it DJ will be a catalog label.
2. Brandy - She has lots of potential and is still very young. She has a good *** to dominate in this field of paper tigers.
3. Usher - His sound and style is too common. Might be time to put the Michael Jackson routine to the side and be a MAN star. No *** of lil boys pop locking all over the stage.
4. Amy Winehouse - I agree but most true talents are troubled souls for one reason or another. That may very well be part of what drives her creativity.
5. Mediatakeout - Good site but could be great with more balance. The *** topics are amusing and cater to the immaturity in us but it gets old fast. Step your game up and educate the people whenever the opportunity arises.
6. Angel Lola Luv? - That was a joke right?
7. Barack Obama - Wishful thinking. We'll see tap dancing turkeys before he gets to the white house.
8. Miguel Cotto - Strong figther but he have to be more than tuff to beat Mayweather. Mayweather may be an *** but his boxing IQ is insane! His speed will confound Cotto. I predict Mayweather by TKO.
9. Wendy Williams - Who's she gonna book? She's made her entire career attacking the people we'd like to see on her show. The only guest she has now are deperate and she punishes them. If I'm a manager my client isn't going on her show. She won't last one season. Tyra has nothing to worry about.
10. Ciara - Her youth is on her side. She's hot.
Well, I've been a Brandy fan since before she started singing. I'm talking about dating back to when she played Danesha on Thea back on 1993. Never Say Never is one of the best r&b albums of its time. It's a classic that put super producer Rodney Jerkins on the Map. She was young, he was young and they made history. I'm looking for Brocka to bounce back fully in 2008. 2008 is gonna be great, great, great for all who believe that they can achieve.
@ be real
GET real
why should obama be some kind of savior, he clearly is not first off. Secondly noone can make you do things you really dont want to do.
Ron Paul is about personal freedom, he wants the responsibility of saving money, protecting the family, income, on the individual, no income taxes, no unnecessary federal spending.
If you want more George bush globalism, vote for obama.
Prince keep on dreaming. Ciara can dance but everybody says that chick can't sing to save her life. Both Ciara's albums combined haven't sold as much as any of B albums. So B is in a league by herslef and I seriously doubt anyone could take her throne and even if someone did it wouldn't be Ciara.
Looking forward to Brandy and Usher new albums though. But I don't know Usher had so much success with his last album that it might be hard to top it.
BEREAL AGREED 100% GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!
OBAMA SHOULD BE #1.
