Maybe no one saw the humour, or possibly they were distrait by the barely competent ponderous metal of the record album, just rapper Ice-T's heavy metal mathematical group launched a hurricane of publicity with their self-titled debut album, Consistence Count. Ice-T's music had been heavy as gravid alloy for a number of years, and on 1991's turning point OG Original Gangster, he recorded the speed metal/hip-hop fusion "Body Count" with his ring of the same name. Body Count's lineup included Ernie-C (guitar), D-Roe (guitar), Mooseman (bass), and Beatmaster V (drums), all of whom attended Crenshaw High School in South Central Los Angeles. On the 1991 Lollapalooza circuit, Ice-T performed with Body Count and earned a substantial quantity of fans and kudos. "Physical structure Count" was a high spot of OG and, not coincidentally, it was the most serious and charles Herbert Best song on their 1992 album. For the rest of Body Count, the band in use in heavy metallic element clichÃ©s and lyrics that were either humorously over the top or cringe-inducing.

Subsequently it was out for a match of months, frenzy over the song dynasty "Cop Killer" made the album a symbol for everything that was wrong with popular culture. After several months of invariant bad promotional material, Warner Brothers and Ice-T pulled the vocal from the album; several months afterwards, he parted slipway with the record company.

Body Count released their second album, Born Dead, on Ice-T's young record label, Priority, in 1994. The record failed to yield either argument or sales and disappeared shortly subsequently its fall release, after which Mooseman left the stria. Despite declining interest in Body Count, Ice-T stuck with the stria, recording the group's tierce album, Wild Demise: Last Days, in 1997; unhappily, Beatmaster V fell victim to leukemia early that year. Upon the release of Violent Demise, to the highest degree critics of a sudden got Body Count's mother wit of humor and, consequently, the album received clean good reviews, yet failed to sell. In 2005 the band was reanimated and hit the road. Three live DVDs and one alive CD were sourced from the tour.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Oscar-winning "American Idol" castoff Jennifer Hudson plans to release her self-titled debut album in September, with the first single, "Spotlight," hitting U.S. radio outlets in June, her label said on Monday.

Additional contributors on the album include Timbaland, Robin Thicke, the Underdogs, Diane Warren and Christopher "Tricky" Stewart.

Hudson's debut is being released through the SonyBMG label Arista Records, with "Spotlight" hitting the airwaves on June 9. The song will be made available for digital download the following day.

"I think people will be pleasantly surprised, because it shows a side of my work that no one has heard before," Hudson, a Chicago native, said in a statement issued by the label.

Mel Brooks not closing shop

Brooksfilms' next project is 'Pizzaman'

Mel Brooks isn't going anywhere.

The renowned funnyman said Friday that he's not shuttering his 30-year-old production shingle Brooksfilms, contrary to one New York gossip page report, and that he's developing a horror film with longtime writing collaborators Rudy De Luca and Steve Haberman.

"I'm not quitting," Brooks told The Hollywood Reporter. "Brooksfilms is still here and will be going on for a while. I'm not at all slowing down, and nobody has told me to stop."

The latest project, "Pizzaman," is a serious horror film that marks Brooksfilms' return to the genre. The company produced the successful "The Fly" and its not-so-successful "The Fly II."

Brooks said the project is in the script and rewrite stage and that he's hasn't shopped it to the studios yet.

De Luca's collaboration with Brooks goes back to 1976's "Silent Movie" and continued with "High Anxiety," "Life Stinks" and "Dracula: Dead and Loving It." Haberman worked with Brooks on the "Dracula" spoof as well as "Life Stinks."

Brooks formed Culver Studios-based Brooksfilms in 1980 when he became interested in producing the drama "The Elephant Man" and believed audiences would think the film was a comedy if it was labeled "A Mel Brooks Film."
