Ice T’s album cover too sexy for record stores? |

Music shops across America are refusing to stock Ice-T’s new album because of the raunchy image on the cover. The 48-year-old rapper poses nude with his stripper wife Coco draped over him, barely covering his usually concealed weapon. Unless his record label places stickers over the album – which is titled Gangsta Rap and is his first in seven years – the legendary rapper faces a boycott by stores. He said: "What can I say, I have been doing these kinds of things for years. You should see the picture when Coco’s leg is not there."

Did Atlantic kill Weird Al’s “You’re Pitiful”? |

Bosses at Atlantic records put the kibosh on Weird Al Yankovic’s send-up of James Blunt’s runaway hit “You’re Beautiful.” Yankovic says he actually got permission from Blunt to sing the parody “You’re Pitiful” — but the suits at Blunt’s label wouldn’t hear of it. “It was originally supposed to be the lead single on [his new album] ‘Straight Outta Lynwood’,” Yankovic told Ain’tItCoolNews.com. “James had given it his blessing and we had a release date set, and then his label found out about it and told me that I couldn’t release the parody on my album under any circumstances. Now, I always respect the wishes of artists, but since it was just a bunch of suits — who were going against their own artist’s wishes, mind you — I had no problem offering the song as a free download on weirdal.com. It was a viral worldwide hit within a few days.”
Scoop
That is so wrong, that is song is one of the most annoying songs of the year and so deserves to parodied. If you want to hear Weird Al’s version, you can do so at his MySpace!

NME
It is so sad to think this place is closing. It is a music landmark where so many greats got their start.
