Yung Berg claims he stole
Kanye West's "Jesus Walks" beat and recorded hot fire to it back in the day, but it was passed on by former Def Jam A&R
Rodney Jerkins. "
I stole the beat. Granted, the 'Jesus Walks' beat is exactly the way you hear it or [if] it's amplified to other sounds -- I recorded this song and 'Jesus Walks' was on my demo. Like, how crazy is that?...I played [Former Def Jam A&R] Rodney [Jerkins] a lot of my records, I was at like record number three...he ordered some food and I remember I was sitting there and
Rodney fell asleep while I was playing him 'Jesus Walks.' Dead a-s...Rodney Jerkins fell asleep while listening to 'Jesus Walks.' The beat, f--k what I was saying, the beat...I was 16 and that was on my demo.
He fell asleep and I watched 'Jesus Walks' come out with a Grammy." Ouch. Even with a Grammy-winning beat, Berg couldn't turn heads. [

Ke$ha recently issued a warning regarding her new video "We R Who We R." "This video is a little bit 'sexy time.' I'm not gonna lie:
It may induce a boner or two," she revealed. "I'm not sure, [you'll have to] report back.
But I'm hoping for at least one." Gross. [
