September 28, 2006
T.I. has the music industry on smash and is now fittin’ to do the same for the movie industry.

Don’t call it a comeback. Bobby Brown’s been here for years (view his music video gallery). But is the "King of Stage" really ready to reclaim his realm? While his wife struggles with drug addiction and he tries to work his issues out onstage, one painful question remains: can Bobby and Whitney face the music—together?

Keyshia Cole: Golden Touch
What is it about R&B; chicks? Is sexiness simply a part of their DNA? They tend to ooze sensuality in a way that feels effortless, which is probably why Biggie devoted a whole song to them. And he’s not alone in his infatuation. Whether they’re showcasing their curves or simply belting out tunes, they compel athletes to chase them, make high school boys study them, and entice rappers to dream about them.
Outkast: Back to the Future
With their new film, Idlewild, and accompanying album, OUTKAST journeys to the past to write their own version of black history. Along the way Big Boi defends their honor and Andre 3000 finds reason to rap again. Karen R. Good gets the big picture.
Busta Rhymes: Mouth Almighty
It’s a drizzly Friday afternoon in Los Angeles. Workers clock overtime hours in front of the Kodak Theatre, sprucing up the red carpet for the Oscars on Sunday. A few blocks away on the second level of the Hollywood Gym, Busta Rhymes is equally hard at work.
