In the clip below, Janelle Monae gives away a painting she had just completed on stage, to a member of the audience.

Here's the brand new music video for Dirty Money's "A** on the Floor" featuring Swizz Beatz.

After performing in front of the military at Fort Hood for NBC's upcoming special dedicated to the troops, Diddy recorded the video below, thanking the troops for their service and apologizing for not giving them their due earlier. D-Roc and Diddy's son Quincy Brown are also featured in the clip.

Diddy stopped by DofatTV, music producer Tony Dofat's streaming video chat network, to chat late last night.

Unfortunately, technical issues hampered the appearance, but they still managed to have some fun. Check out a compilation clip below.

Dr. Dre's "Detox," an album that has been in development for so long that it has approached mythic status, may finally be on the way in February.

AllMusic has revealed the vast majority the album credits for Dirty Money's "Last Train to Paris" (see the detailed credits page). It's a long list to parse, however and the precise production credits for every record cannot be discerned simply from a big list like this. But, it goes a long way.

Here are some interesting things that I noted:

Aubrey Graham, better known as rapper Drake, receives a songwriting credit on "Yesterday."

Leroy Watson, better known as Bad Boy rapper Aasim, receives songwriting credits on "Yeah Yeah You Would," "A** on the Floor" and "Someone to Love Me."

Both Mario Winans and Harve Pierre receive executive producer credit while Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins receives an associate executive producer credit. Diddy is not listed as an executive producer, just a producer - but that may not be accurate.
