Rapper Answers Destiny's Child's 'Bills'

Detroit hip-hop artist E-Dub is making some national noise with his rebuttal to Destiny's Child's female anthem "Bills, Bills, Bills." In the tradition of Sporty Thievz' "No Pigeons," the answer-back to TLC's "No Scrubs," E-Dub's "No Bills Reply" warns, "I can't pay your bills, I can't pay your rent, and I can't take care of your son!"

Calling his take "just a reply, nothing personal," E-Dub says he's currently negotiating with several companies to secure a national deal. The song is presently out on self-distributed label Hundred Grand Entertainment.

Speaking of Destiny's Child, the group will be wrapping up the seven-city Minute Maid Soda Style Jam tour. A collective effort of Minute Maid, Russell Simmons, Source magazine, and others, the tour gives local youth the chance to audition as openers for the Columbia quartet with a dance routine and a fashion show. The free event stops next in Philadelphia (Aug. 31), with final dates in New York (Sept. 2) and Chattanooga, Tenn. (Sept. 12).
