The superstar singer gave fans a little more than they have bargained for, when she took the stage in a short gold dress…and accidentally flashed them during her performance at the Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival in Jamaica Friday night.
She said "Because normally when people are leveled the length is fine. But people were like this (looks up).... So it was like I didn't think of the people downstairs and me there." Share with us, tell us wat u all think

Khago Receives Death Threat
Emerging Dancehall/Reggae singjay, Ricardo Gayle aka Khago remains defiant despite receiving an unwelcome message to start the New Year.
On Sunday morning, the internationally acclaimed artiste received a chilling death threat, via phone, from an unknown caller. Khago’s management team intimated that they’re taking said threat very seriously; contacting law enforcement officials to investigate the matter.
Though startled by the threat, the Nah Sell Out singer insists that this incident won’t deter him from continuing his mission to showcase positive songs within what he calls a corrupt music industry.
"Mi get the phone call at about 9 a.m. and the caller say 'p****hole yuh a go dead later' and then hang up the phone,” Khago explained via press release.
He continued, “But dem caan intimidate me, mi ah go continue to do good work and sing songs for the people, too much corruption inna the music business but mi naa back down."

50 Cent Threatens Label To Release Another Mixtape
Fif takes to Twitter to voice his issues with Interscope Records.
Following a year of label woes made public, 50 Cent has taken to Twitter to threaten his label Interscope Records with the release another mixtape. In a series of Tweets, Fif asked his followers if anyone wanted to sign him to a record deal and that he works "harder than everybody in hiphop [sic]."
"I got 3,500,000 views in 3 day on hands up. Ok I need a record deal jimmy iovine , call me early tomorrow or I'm putting out another mix tape," he wrote. "Anybody want to sign me I'm a young hungry artist and I work harder then everybody in hiphop call me tomorrow. Street king energy."
The G-Unit leader has been at odds with Interscope over the delayed release of his untitled fifth album. He said that his longtime label promised to release his single today (Dec. 31st), but was frustrated as he assumed that it was a lie.
Top 10 Albums Of 2011
10. Raekwon - Shaolin Vs Wu-Tang
While not on the level of Cuban Linx, Shaolin Vs Wu-Tang was a dope chamber in Raekwon the Chef’s catalog. Feeling the momentum from Cuban Linx II the Wu-Tang Clan’s slang doctor headed back to the studio to cook up a dark kung-fu influenced album with a dash of 2011 flavor. Raekwon solidified his relevance and staying power with Shaolin Vs Wu-Tang almost twenty years after we first heard him rhyme on Protect Ya Neck.
9. J Cole - Cole World: The Sideline Story
Jay-Z protégé J Cole released his long awaited debut album Cole World: The Sideline Story in 2011. The album is a motivational listen about an emcee that believed and achieved. Playing the sideline for a couple of years Cole improved upon his craft and Cole World was the result. Lyrically, J Cole is the best of the bunch of the new era of emcees and he showcased various styles on his debut that made Cole World a cold album.
8. Joell Ortiz - Free Agent
While it leaked in 2010, Joell Ortiz’s sophomore album Free Agent was officially released in 2011. Free Agent is Joell Ortiz at his cocky-Brooklyn-sh*t talking best. On the flipside, Ortiz doesn’t take himself too seriously and isn’t afraid to take chances which makes him affable to listeners. Ortiz is one of the best lyricists on the planet and with help from the likes of Just Blaze, Frank Dukes, Sean C & LV, Large Professor, Nottz, and DJ Premier, Joell Ortiz made one of the best Hip-Hop albums of 2011.
7. Torae - For the Record
Torae’s debut album For the Record is about as solid as it gets. Torae does not spit a wack lyric on For the Record. Each rhyme is well thought out and delivered with precision. For the Record boasts the best cast of producers assembled for any album released in 2011. DJ Premier, Marco Polo, Nottz, Diamond D, Khrysis, Pete Rock, !llmind, Large Professor, and 9th Wonder provide the landscape for Torae to paint his pictures on.
6. Game - The R.E.D. Album
After receiving lackluster reviews for his third album LAX, Compton’s finest, Game came back with a vengeance for his fourth release, The R.E.D. Album. Narrated by Dr. Dre, The R.E.D. Album bangs for the first half of the album and mellows out near the end. Game invites entirely too many guests on The R.E.D. Album but that’s standard for Game. The production on The R.E.D. Album is incredible and lyrically Game sounds hungry like it was 2005.
5. Jay- Z and Kanye West - Watch the Throne
Two of Hip-Hop’s biggest ego’s joined forces in 2011 and warned everyone to watch the throne. Jay-Z and Kanye West put together an album that made listeners think, laugh, and dance. Watch the Throne is far from perfect but it’s an enjoyable listen from start to finish that has a little something for everybody. Boasting aside, Kanye West has a way of bringing out the vulnerable side to Jay-Z which we never get to hear enough of. On Watch the Throne Hov let it all hang out on tracks like Murder to Excellence, New Day, and No Church in the Wild. For the better part of ten years the Kanye West/Jay-Z combination has been money. In 2011 we thankfully got to hear Ye and Jay in all their glory on Watch the Throne.
4. The Roots - undun
One of the most creative acts in Hip-Hop got even more creative in 2011 with the concept album undun. undun is a short and not so sweet story of a hustler named Redford Stephens. Black Thought, ?uestlove and Co. invited a slew of guests to help out with undun and everyone sounds like crew. While undun is a somber listen you get the feeling that the recording of the album was fun. The vibe and flow of undun is undeniable. As always The Roots returned and made one of the best albums of the year.
3. Hassaan Mackey and Apollo Brown - Daily Bread
Producer Apollo Brown and emcee Hassaan Mackey collaborated on one of the best and most slept-on albums of 2011, Daily Bread. Mackey brings east coast lyricism to Brown’s soulful Midwest chopped samples making Daily Bread a unique listen. Don’t be mistaken, Daily Bread is boom bap at its best. Brown is becoming one of the best producers in Hip-Hop and Mackey’s vocal tone and delivery is on par with some of the best in the business. Daily Bread is the third best Hip-Hop album of 2011.
2. Saigon - The Greatest Story Never Told
Shelved for five years The Greatest Story Never Told was finally told in 2011. Produced by Just Blaze, The Greatest Story Never Told is a cohesive album that’s reminiscent of releases from the golden era of Hip-Hop. Saigon’s conscious street rhymes combined with Just Blaze’s crystal clear yet grimy production made for a perfect marriage. Saigon rhymed for his life on his official debut album, and that’s why The Greatest Story Never Told is one of 2011’s best albums.
1. Common - The Dreamer/The Believer
Coming in at number one on the top 10 Hip-Hop albums of 2011 is Common’s The Dreamer/The Believer. The ninth album from the Chicago native finds him reuniting with former producer and friend No I.D. The two men picked up where they left off in the mid-90’s and crafted a stellar album that combines soulful hooks and choruses with boom bap Hip-Hop beats. Lyrically Common reverted back to his mid-90’s form spitting harder than he’s spit in years. The Dreamer/The Believer is nearly flawless and is the best Hip-Hop album of 2011.
Top 10 Most Popular Hip Hop Singles of 2011
1. Jay-Z and Kanye West - Otis
Having this song top the singles for 2011 on HipHopDX right before New Year's Eve is befitting. After all, "Otis" was all about celebration. Jay and Kanye took an Otis Redding sample to new heights and paired it with a video, where they strip down a Maybach and do donuts in it in front of an American flag. How's that for a party? Despite the fact that "H.A.M." (look below) was our first real glimpse into the Watch the Throne project, it was "Otis" that really had the people excited about what Jay-Z and Kanye West collectively had coming.
2. Jay-Z and Kanye West - H.A.M.
Lex Luger brought some out-of-the-box production for Jay and Ye on this one. The song was arguably bigger than the sum of its parts, and succeeded largely based upon curiosity. People had no idea what to expect after this song dropped. However, throw that badboy on at the club and everyone goes "H.A.M. aka "hard as a muthaf**ker."
3. Drake - Marvin's Room
How many times this year have you read "I'm just sayin, you could do better" on social networking sites? This song sparked the "Drake is emo" movement, crafting a song about being drunk and calling his ex-girlfriend. The sobfest carried over into other versions and freestyles. We vote for Jojo's version as the best one.
4. Young Jeezy featuring Lil Wayne - Ballin
Many moons ago, people thought this track right here was the first look into Young Jeezy's Thug Motivation 103, as he and Lil Wayne stomped all over this track chanting that "ballin" mantra. It never did make it to the album, after it was pushed back so many times. That doesn't take away from its street anthemic value.
5. Dr. Dre featuring Eminem and Skylar Grey - I Need a Doctor
When this song hit the ground, it entered a marathon. Detox was 2010's big tease, but by 2011, it was really starting to look like a reality. Producer Alex Da Kid introduced his dark songstress Skylar Grey to the word, and her breathy vocals make this track so haunting, as Eminem is literally begging Dr. Dre to come back to music. Sorry, Em.
6. Maroon 5 featuring Mac Miller and Christina Aguilera - Moves Like Jagger Remix
"Moves Like Jagger" sans Mac Miller was one of 2011's big deal Pop anthems. However, getting Mac Miller on the remix shoved this cut into the faces of Hip Hop fans, and guess what? They liked it. It also contributed largely to Mac Miller's crossover appeal. That's the reason why your little sister is bumping Blue Slide Park. So, Mac Mill has moves like Jagger too?
7. Game featuring Lil Wayne - RED Nation
Game's The R.E.D. Album had quite a few high points. This song, however, was one of the highest. Taking the "Zombie Nation" techno chants and dropping Lil Wayne in the hook beckoning everyone to "Blood the fuck up" made "RED Nation" the kind of song to get violent to. After all, angry music makes everyone see "red."
8. Eminem - G.O.A.T. (Jay-Z and Kanye West Diss)
This track seemed like it came out of nowhere, and it did. It was pretty old, and for whatever reason, it circulated this past year. Even Eminem himself spoke on the song, stating it was old and just a big venting session about not getting the respect he deserved. That all changed this year, and thankfully nothing became of this quasi-war between three rap stalwarts.
9. Lupe Fiasco featuring Skylar Grey - Words I Never Said
Another win for Skylar Grey, as she added to the intensity of this Lupe Fiasco track. Lupe spent a good long while frustrated with his label, his career, and his music. However, this song off Lasers added to the mainstream value of the project as a whole and brought Lupe right to the top of the charts. Sometimes the words never said go a long way.
10. Dr. Dre featuring Eminem - Die Hard
Yet another floaty in the Detox pool, "Die Hard" paired Dre with Em again on this third look into the album that never was. By the time this track hit, Dre fans were really convinced that Detox was going to happen and Eminem was going to play a huge role in it. Dre is pretty lucky. His presence on this 2011 list shows just how many people still care about his music.
