New Music: Tinashe - Checks In / In The Meantime

FNG fave Tinashe gets freaky on her two newest releases.

The first tune comes from DJ Mustard's 10 Summers album in which only a snippet of "Tinashe Checks In" was featured in an interlude. Now the extended version is available for your eargasmic pleasure.

"We just do the nasty
That way we make a family
Used to love to see my nigga happy even though you brought baggage
Did everything you asked me but you was gettin' ratchet
Now we got damage, you let these other bitches have it"

Tinashe's second freaky leak "In the Meantime" is a bass heavy hookup song produced by T-Minus and may be included on her highly anticipated Aquarius album. In her typical falsetto fashion, the "2 On" songstress croons over the phone to a lover that keeps her satisfied while she's in-between relationships.

“Late night, late night, ay
Late night on a weekday
Ridin’ ’round town smokin’ loud with my windows down, ho,”

Aaliyah Biopic Casts No Name Actors for Missy and Timbaland Roles

Whether Aaliyah's family likes it or not, Lifetime's Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B biopic is well underway.  And it looks like they've casted their Missy Elliot and Timbaland:

Via Power 105

Producers of the upcoming Aaliyah biopic have found their Timbaland and Missy Elliott in two relatively unknown actors. 

Lifetime Television execs tell TheWrap.com, Izaak Smith and Chattrisse Dolabaille will play the hitmaking producer and rapper who were instrumental in shaping Aaliyah's sound as part of their "Super Friends" network.  They join Alexandra Shipp who will play the late R&B singer in Aaliyah: Princess of R&B. Shipman took over the role after Disney Channel star Zendaya Coleman dropped out of the project.

Aaliyah's family has voiced its opposition to the TV movie, saying the singer's life story should be headed to the big screen.  Now some fans are speaking out about the casting of Dolabaille as Elliott. According to The Urban Daily, they're concerned that the Canadian actress looks nothing like the hitmaking rapper.  

Although Chattrisse doesn't look as big as Missy may have back in the day, she looks like she could be molded into the resemblance. Izaak may not be a perfect fit either but who is? Unless they cast identical twins, it seems like many fans will not be satisfied. But isn't the acting what's more important? You tell us.

BTS: Nicki Minaj Teases Drake Will Make a Cameo in "Anaconda"

Nicki Minaj is really pumping up the promo for her next single "Anaconda". In this behind the scenes clip, she shows how the video's coming along for each scene, and shows off her sexy assets along the way. At the end, an inebriated Nicki flips into her Jamaican patois language and banters with her crew and even hints at having a familiar YMCMB artist make a cameo on set. They both switched up their voices, but there's only one Toronto native she'd joke around with like that. ;-)

The song may not be a hit or best lyrically, but rest assured the video will surely be bootylicious.
