Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: "A Bay Bay" is the 2007 debut single from Shreveport, Louisiana rapper Hurricane Chris on his debut album 51/50 Ratchet. The single has garnered national airplay thanks in part to being featured on numerous mixtapes. Hurricane Chris goes so far as saying on his MySpace page, "I bet that its gonna be a babys first word because its so catchy. It gets stuck in your head the first time you hear it." The voice in the beginning is Baby 3, son of Shreveport, Louisiana rapper 3 Feet. Baby 3's line is "This Baby 3, everybody say, A Bay Bay." Hurricane got the idea of the hook from DJ Hollyhood Bay Bay. Whenever he would enter a club, onlookers would shout, "Hey, Bay, Bay." The song debuted on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 at #95 in June 2007, rising in the next week to #85 before jumping sharply to #24 in its third week on the chart. The single ended up reaching #7. The video was #3 on BET's top 100 videos of 2007. The song samples parts of MC Ren's "Forget What Ya Heard". The video for "A Bay Bay" was shot in the Cedar Grove neighborhood, and features local landmarks and crowds singing along to the song. It also peaked at #1 on the popular music video show 106 & Park. According to Billboard, the phrase "A Bay Bay" is heard in this song a total of 69 times. There are several official remixes, one of which featuring The Game, Lil Boosie, Birdman, Angie Locc, Jadakiss, & E-40. The music video for this remix features all of the previously mentioned artists, except for E-40, but still makes a cameo in there, followed by Pitbull, Lil Jon & Lil Wayne.

Excerpt: Madonna (born Madonna Louise Ciccone; August 16, 1958) is an American recording artist, actress and entrepreneur. Born in Bay City, Michigan, and raised in Rochester Hills, Michigan, she moved to New York City in 1977, for a career in modern dance. After performing as a member of the pop groups Breakfast Club and Emmy, she released her debut album, Madonna, in 1983 on Sire Records. A series of hit singles from her next studio albums, Like a Virgin (1984) and True Blue (1986), established her as a pop icon. She pushed the boundaries of lyrical content in mainstream popular music and imagery in her music videos, which became a fixture on MTV. Her recognition was further raised by the film Desperately Seeking Susan (1985) which was widely seen as a Madonna vehicle despite her not playing the lead. Utilizing religious imagery in her fourth studio album Like a Prayer (1989), Madonna was praised by critics for her diverse musical productions while at the same time religious conservatives and the Vatican criticized her. In 1992, Madonna founded the Maverick corporation as a joint venture with Time Warner. The same year, she incorporated sexually explicit material in her work, with the studio album Erotica, the coffee table book Sex and the erotic thriller film Body of Evidence, all of which received negative responses from conservatives and liberals alike. 1996 saw Madonna play the starring role in the fil...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=142056 ...
