King Latifah Working on a New Album

Posted by Bossip Staff

King Latifah is back in the lab:

The new album, which Latifah told Rolling Stone was “banging,” was crafted with the help of legends LL Cool J and Dr. Dre. The rapper-turned-actress says the two did the majority of the record. “They pretty much did the whole album,” Latifah said. “My boy Kenny Flav did one track and I think might do two more. Missy [Elliott] and Swizz Beatz are the only two people I have left. But they’re mixing it right now.” Dre also helped her write some of the material, as well as Ludacris, but besides that she says she wrote “just about” all the rest.

We know our girl’s film career is on track, but we are excited to see if the Doc can bring her music career back to life when her album drops in December. If Dre’s resume is any indication of what we can expect, we should be in store for some hot sh*t. No, we do not think that the proposed title, “The L Word” has anything to do with her ummm…sexual orientation…and yes, we are trying to keep a straight face (no pun intended).

    So that means that she didnt right her own rhymes??? No harm in it as long as she isnt tryna front like the rest of these female rappers. Do your thing La, you’re a hip-hop legend

  16. "We talking bout practice man" AI

    I really wish Bossip would STOP calling my girl “KING” Latifah. It’s really not that funny to me. I will be purchasing this album. If it’s anything like “Black Reign” we’re in for a treat! Love you Tifah!!!

  17. Tito Jackson is my Baby Dad

    Has anyone noticed how Queen Latifah, Da Brat and MC Lyte all have that same assymetrical haircut? I wonder if there is a secret code underlying? Lol.

  18. Lady elle

    I heard her film was awesome….

  19. Nothing Nice: The officiating of games in the NFL is suspect.

    “check it while I wreck it. Check it while I wreck it. GIVE IT TO EM LA! Ok ,give me a few seconds..” naa babe its been more like a couple of yrs!! lol Can’t wait for the album drop I agree Black Reign was the SHIT. I still listen to that album and that was ‘93

  20. Penetrator

    Bossip you are way out of line for constantly referring to this young lady as “King.” You need to stop. You are racist and ignorant. It’s not even close to being funny.

  21. legalize the ganga/rude girl from jamdown

    she look really nice these days

    love me so queen la ….i hope her

    album is a hit

  22. Moreaces

    Bossip would you retards stop referring to her as a king, even if she is a lesbian,,,, let me clue you in, a lesbian is a woman, not a man.. dont get it twisted


  23. Why do you keep disrespecting La by calling her king? Did she do something to someone at Bossip?

  24. Lady elle

    @ Bird

    Because they think they’re funny……

  25. always knew

    Queen, gone and get paid. Gay or not, I am not mad at anyone who is doing their own damn thing and successful, at it too…Haterz gone hate anyway..I’m just glad another black female is getting hers…Go Latifah!!..

  26. azdelish

    never liked her………..

  27. azdelish

    she needs to stick to eating carpet

  28. Creole Baby Got Cone Bread on Love Lockdown

    wow

  29. bria

    Why do you all have to be so disrespectful of this woman. Name one historic female hip-hop artisist who is still out there doing there thing. If she is gay so what that is her business. But you can address her by her name. You don’t have to be rude.

  30. kenya

    bossip continues to be mad at her for being a lesbian and QUEEN continues to cash checks….bossip-0 QUEEN-1

  31. FURIOUZ STYLEZ

    I PROMISE TO LIMEWIRE ALL OF HER SHIT BEFORE IT OFFICIALLY DROP ONLY OUT OF RESPECT FOR THE QUEEN

    ….BUT SHE’S TOO MASCULINE THE FACE BLEACHING HER HAIR AIN’T “SOFTENIN’” HER UP ENOUGH

  32. fly_guy

    I’m not homophobic, but I get tired of

    “down low” women, just as you women hate

    some fakeass down low “dude” (like the

    punk who “played” Terri McMillan’s dumb ass).

    This woman eats pussy — she eats cat,

    she hangs out in lesbian bars, her ass

    has been caugnt over and over again in places

    where ONLY pussy eating women go.

    I know she knows that if she ever comes

    out, that CLAIROL money, any heterosexual

    roles (unlike Jody Foster’s like dyke ass,

    the women doesn’t even LOOK feminine), and

    probablyu her

  33. fly_guy

    whole career is OVER. Nobody gives a shit

    how much pussy she eats — but the damn

    HE/SHE eats PUSSY !!!!!

  34. keisha

    she is wack. just stick to acting.

  35. Monique

    Does anyone else see a coincidence that Latifah has worked on a movie with Alicia Keys recently and now is expecting work on her album from Swizz Beatz? This stuff isn’t a coincidence. Those two are in a full-fledged relationship.

    May I add AGAIN, he and his wife are not legally separated?

  36. crazychris

  37. Shockwave

    ok…….aren’t we supposed to be on a treadmill somewhere? Jenny Craig needs to get their money back from her. She ain’t losin no damn weight!
