Did Nelly have a 'Tip Drill' Flashback?

Nelly was recently seen in Atlanta strip club Magic City recently (along with "the inventor" Trey Songz and Jermaine Dupri) with 1s "raining" from his hands. No word on whether he whipped out the plastic. But if you remember, Nelly got in a whole gang of trouble in 2003 when his video "Tip Drill" depicted him sliding a credit card between a woman's nether parts. The uproar came to a head at Atlanta womens' college, Spelman, in which an event sponsored by Nelly raising awareness of the need for bone marrow donors was protested. What made matters worse, Nelly's own sister later died from sickle and he attributed the protest to a case of misdirected anger.
Has Nelly reverted to his former self? Is Ashanti no longer involved? What's up?

R. Kelly Releases Mixtape: Do We Care?

Seems like the Pied Piper has done this summer what a major R&B artist has never done (No, not that, he was aquitted, remember?). Kelly has released a mixtape, called "The Demo."
"I been in the stands watching the music scene for a minute, just chillin'," Kelly recently told MTV.
We all know 'chillin' is not in Kells' vocab, but we understand a brother needs to lay low, especially with his reputation. "I said, 'If I'm gonna do a mixtape, I feel like I'm starting over in a way.' I said, 'I'm gonna act like this is my first time as an artist. I'mma do a demo and hope the world sign me.' "
Question: Who really wants a "demo" from R. Kelly though?
Isn't Trey Songz the new Kells? Just sayin.
