You didn't ask for it, but I'm gonna give it to you anyway ... It's my Monday Music Mumblings (Brought to you on Wednesday)...

Does Jay-Z require every song he rhymes on to have that big-band trumpet sound ... Has anyone else noticed this? And for pete's sake, what the heck does HOVA mean? How do you get a nickname like that?

I loved Nick Cannon in drumline, and I hear his show on Nickelodeon is pretty good too ... but Nick, you are not gangsta, and doin a song with Burger King - oops, I mean B2K ain't gonna make you gangsta. I guess it will get you a spot on TRL and 106 & Park though.

Lil' Kim had her bling bling snatched from her and promptly returned. Now if only someone would give her back her clothes ... PUT SOME CLOTHES ON, GIRL, YOU UGLY!!

Apparently, Clay's domination at the stores has caused J Records to call off the "record store" duel between Aiken and Studdard ... Their albums will drop separately in September.

Mandy Moore is dating Andy Roddick. "Now introducing, Andy and Mandy"

Is it me, or are hip hop artists smack dab in the middle of a feud to see who can come up with the best song using the fewest words?

That's all for now. I know it seems like I poked a lot of fun at hip hop, but let's be honest, it deserved it. Besides, there are plenty of quips to go around for other genres ... as long as there are the Fred Dursts, the Axl Roses and the Osbournes' dogs .. until next time.
