Snoop is already thinking ahead for the holidays on this one so get ready to hear it as the end of the year approaches. Can’t say I love the hook on this one but Snoop is a legend so go for yours.

–Reef

Lip Service was overflowing with guests last night, all who brought a little something different to the show. Houston’s Short Dawg, who recently signed to Young Money, came bearing a little something to sip on from the Big Star State.

The Cleopatra of Porn, Aryana Starr, was a lot of fun to have in the studio and gave us all plenty of tips to share with our loved ones. Sasha Delvalle who played Princess in 50 Cent’s Before I Self Destruct stopped by to tell us just how steamy it got in her completely nude scene with Fif in the shower.

Joell Ortiz and R&B sweetheart Novel also dropped in with a big ol’ bottle to talk about their latest work together and how they don’t like getting head. Yikes!

Here are the highlights:

Short Dawg explaining that Lil Wayne stopped sipping syrup:
“Wayne don’t sip no more…When you in your mode of sippin’ sometimes it makes you a little aggravated, so it was probably one of those little drank fits he was throwin’ cause I do the same thing.”

Sasha Delvalle on doing a nude scene with 50:

Joell Ortiz on his anal explorations:
“I don’t care if you shower too, you’re digging in somebody’s butt.”

Novel gets graphic:
“I’ve got two kids so I’ve tried some things”

Previously, we posted some of the behind the scenes from the video and now here’s the finished product. The song is featured on the soundtrack for Rik Cordero’s “Inside A Change” movie. Some people want to know why Novel is elbowing me in the head like that!

Over the weekend, I was at the video shoot for Novel’s song “F*ck With My Mind” that Rik Cordero directed. I have to admit, I was super nervous and flip-flopped on whether or not it was a good idea. But I do love the song and hey, it’s Rik Cordero!

I had a good time, thanks to glammgirl for the makeup and my friends for coming through to hang out and make sure I was drunk during the shoot (Heidi, Shari, Raushana and Jamile). I think the hardest part was trying not to laugh every time we had to shoot a scene. Between myself and Novel, we couldn’t stop cracking up.

So here’s some behind the scenes footage that Rik just posted. Be nice please! And thanks to Novel for having to remind me that this was his shoot and not mine :)

But be clear… I’ve been in one other video… Does that make me a video vixen :)

I’ve been waiting forever for Novel’s album to come out after going to his listening session months ago in NY, so I was excited to see this mixtape come out as the prelude. I spoke to the producer/singer/songwriter/rapper about what he’s been up to and what inspired him to put together “Suspended Animation.” Look for guest appearances by Ced Hughes, Ghostface, Joell Ortiz, Papoose, Spree Wilson and Colin Munroe.

On why he put out the Suspended Animation mixtape:
My album is on hold right now so I feel like I’m in suspension, so I’m just putting music out there for people to get for free just to be heard.

On his current label situation:
About to do a different deal, but I can’t say yet. Hopefully I’ll have the album out by the end of this year.

On changes in the album:
I might have to add a few new records but it will stay basically the same. But I’ll have to jump on the second album right after that.

What exactly does suspended animation mean?
I feel like I’m at a creative point in my life, real artistic but I can’t do anything about it because my record is on hold.

Suspended animation also means cryogenically frozen; when you freeze something but it’s still alive, it’s being preserved. That’s how I feel. I’m alive but I can’t really do much. I have all this creativity inside of me but I can’t get it out. All these different labels I’ve been on: Rawkus, Interscope, Capitol…

On being compared to Drake:
I think it’s just because there’s not a lot of rappers that sing. Our subject matters are a lot different. He has a better chance than I do because his songs are better geared toward radio. As they say I’m a backpacker and people don’t really buy backpacker records. If I could get past that I’ll be alright. I can write pop records for other artists but that’s not necessarily what I want to do for myself.

What Novel has been working on:
Leona Lewis’ second album, something for Beyonce earlier this year, Asher Roth who’s out right now, and India Arie’s new single.

What would be your ideal situation for yourself?
I’d be happy being on any independent label right now, I think I’m kind of done with major labels. It’s not as personable being on a major. When I was on Rawkus they treated me well, it was kind of like a family. I miss that feel.
