Gabby "Precious" Sidibe On SNL

There was a big stink about Gabby "Precious" Sidibe being on Saturday Night Live. I thought the skit with Kenan Thompson was hilarious! The skit was about "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" with Steve Harvey (played by Kenan Thompson). All I'm going to say is this......if Kenan didn't play Steve Harvey, I don't know who did!!! Hilarious! Check it out for yourselves below:



By the way, I saw Kenan Thompson on Valentines Day over at Caroline's Comedy Club and he was with a white chick! They seemed very happy but I was soo happy to learn he wasn't playing for the other team....cuz that's what I had heard back in the day but I'm glad he proved me wrong! ;-)

New Video: Fat Joe ft. Jeezy - Slow Down

This is the video I've been waiting for! My Puerto Rican brother, Fat Joe, is killing the game with this joint called "Slow Down" featuring Young Jeezy. This joint is hard and definitely NEW YORK! Hip Hop needed a song like this for real. Well, enjoy the cameos by Diddy, French Montana, Tahiry and Al Harrington below:



Don't forget Fat Joe's album "Darkside" should be coming out in June!

New Video: Young Jeezy - Hood Politics

The video is nothing to write home to Momma about but it gets the job done. Check it out below:

Gloria Velez Thinks Nicki Minaj Is Wack

In an interview done with Major Moves DVD, Gloria Velez was asked about her opinion of Nicki Minaj and Gloria didn't have anything nice to say. I was a little bothered by the response only because I know Gloria to be an artist as well as a model. As a female artist in this game of male dominancy I would think chicks would stick together only because there are soo few of them but I'm guessing I was wrong. Gloria should know how hard it is to come up in this game and when someone finally does come up....negativity is what they receive? Where they do that at? I can agree with Gloria regarding the lyricism of Nicki's rhymes at times but that's what makes Nicki, Nicki. I do, however, want to pose a question....sort of like a devils advocate type question. Is Gloria feeling some type of way because Nicki Minaj came up in the rap game through Young Money and she didn't with Cash Money? Is there a gripe there? Please feel free to post your thoughts and check out what Gloria Velez had to say below:



Such a pretty girl. One of my own Puerto Rican sistas and not one nice thing to say. :( Come on ladies!!! Let's do better!!

Behind The Scenes: The Dream & Ludacris - Love King Remix

So "Love King" can't be left alone. The Dream went and made a remix. And not only did he make a remix featuring Ludacris but he is also making a video for said remix. I ain't mad at you Dream! Thankfully, we have some behind the scenes footage of that video below:



I'm wondering if that pretty little girl in the beginning was Ludacris' daughter? I'm sure it was but don't take my word for it. ;-) She was CUTE though!!

New Music: Trina ft. Lil Wayne & Rick Ross - Currency

I'm glad that both Trina and Lil Wayne were able to put their past issues aside and collab for a new joint called "Currency" which also features Rick Ross The Boss! I'm feeling the new joint. A friend of mine told me the other day that new music is never good but I beg to differ. In my opinion....as long as it's good music I don't care if it's new or old I'm good. Enjoy the new joint below and feel free to post your thoughts:

Porn Star, Mr. Marcus, Writes Sex Book

It's time for the fellas to start writing books and let the world know what women they have been dealing with. So it would only be right for porn star, Mr. Marcus, to come out with his own book and it's called "Porn Star Guide To Great Sex". The book will be out in stores on June 22nd and "Ozone" mag released an excerpt from the book in their new sex issue. Check out the excerpt below:

Some of the best sex induces a sense of vulnerability, a permissiveness that allows your lover unlimited access to your erogenous zones and G-spots and pressure points and nether regions. She’s spreading her legs, letting you lick her here, sucking you there, fondling and fingering and whispering your name. You are a part of her, and her you. She’s yours to do what you will—as long as you do it right.

This vulnerability gives you a certain power when making love, the power to manipulate, to compel her to act out her wildest, darkest fantasies. She wants to be filled, to be used, to be satisfied. Even as a teenager, I found a paradox in sex—that she’s giving you permission to violate her—that was in itself an aphrodisiac, an addiction that would quickly morph into my avocation….

I accidentally discovered porn in ’86. I used to borrow my step-dad’s socks. He always had brand-new clean socks, so I would sneak into his drawer and take a pair. One day as I was digging for a matching pair, I discovered his stash of hardcore adult magazines. No one was home, so I pulled out the stack and went through all of the magazines. There was a mixture of black and white photo spreads and a series of color photos all set to differently themed magazine titles. They immediately caught my attention. All of the magazines were hardcore, so there was a photo or two to establish a sort of story, followed by immediate action and ultimate penetration…

At the time of my discovery I was 17 with only a few sexual conquests in my life. I want to be in those magazines. But it was clear these porn models were much more experienced. So I did the next best thing, I masturbated twice a day to the images in my mind from the magazines. Both were vivid and explicit, creative and narrative. I had a running story, an established relationship with these pictures. I viewed them over and over sometimes forgetting to put them back where I found them. I couldn’t erase the impression they made on my mind. I became resolute in my decision to become a part of the adult industry.

I quickly sought out hardcore magazines, where the sex was real and I could see a real sexual connection. These magazines weren’t in the mainstream newsstands; they were in the sex shops. And they were expensive, so I’d have to read as much of them as I could absorb there. Then leave as discreetly as I came. Those early images left me with a hard on I could not escape. The twice masturbation sessions were not enough to squelch the desires I had. Pu$$y became my motivation. Getting into those magazines assured me there would be a constant stream of pu$$y.
By the time I turned 23, I not only knew I wanted to be a porn star, but I knew what porn models I wanted to fu*k and what lucky porn guys were lucky enough to fu*k them. I even knew the names of porn companies I wanted to work for. So I read up on the stars and the industry in L.A. Express, a very cheap and accessible magazine that informed the reader of what was going on in the porn industry. From what movies were being made to what parties they were going on, to what new starlet was making headlines. So when I read about the annual porn awards show in Las Vegas I made the 300 mile trip. Right place, right time, because before I knew it I was handed a card and told to call if I wanted to get in the business. A porn star was born…

My first adult porn set was out in Palm Springs. The girl who had brought me into the industry, Heather Lee, she was out there doing a shoot. She wanted me to drive out there to meet the director. If he liked me, he might hire me in the future. His name was Roy Brewington and he was actually a photographer who happened to also be a director. What I would learn later is a lot of the successful producers in porn were also very good photographers. He was one of the best. I drove down to Palm Springs and met up with Heather. She had talked highly of me, so when I showed up, Roy was very hospitable and professional. I felt comfortable, like I belonged.

Heather pulled me off into a room and asked how I was feeling. I was good, especially since I didn’t know what to expect, but I was game. Me and Heather had had sex a few times before at her place and mine, and she was already a successful porn star so it was her suggestion I get into porn. I guess she had been fu*king me just to make sure I was ready and up to the task. After a few minutes, she says, “Roy wants you to be in the scene”, I was like “Okay, no problem”. I was a 23 year old kid, and I had already said, “Okay, no problem,” to stealing, robbing, and driving without a license. Sh*t, what was going to stop me from fu*king on film? Nothing.

I was where I belonged and everyone knew it, but there was one catch. There would be another guy in the scene. “Huh? How’s that going to work?” I asked. Heather looked at me with a look that said, “Don’t worry I can handle it.” I realized that this was perfectly normal. 2 guys and 1 girl was normal in porn. The girls could handle it or in this business, they better be able to handle it, because it’s normal. I was still a young guy in a very mature business, naivety abound.

It wasn’t long before the other guy showed up, Mr. Sean Michaels. This guy was cool from top to bottom. He strolled in all suited up, clean as fu*k, and the first thing I noticed was how clean and pimped he was. One of a kind instantly. I couldn’t think of anyone like him, a very unique cat. I was also familiar with his work. I had been a fan of porn since I was 16 years old and I remembered all the black dudes I had seen. I wanted to be like them, and here was someone I had admired right there in front of me. He came over and shook my hand and said, “Wanna smoke?” Without hesitation I said, “Yeah”. I didn’t even know what we were going to be smoking, but I didn’t give a fu*k. I thought it was cool that he asked. Roy only hired the best and Sean was the best. 2 other guys arrived shortly after Sean, Marc Wallace and Peter North. More legends. I knew their faces and I had seen their work. I was in good company, and this solidified my feeling of belonging. I stood there thinking I couldn’t believe my luck. It was like meeting Big Daddy Kane, Doug E. Fresh and KRS-1, except this was 1 black guy and 2 white dudes and they made porn. These were the top 3 in the business. I had been placed squarely in line with distinction. If they were the porn version of celebrity, I was sure to be of significance . . .

I know that was alot to read but I'm still curious to know if you guys will run out and get yourself a copy? And just as a little FYI, Mr. Marcus has also slept with the likes of Karrine "Superhead" Steffans!! I wonder if there will be something about her in there......we will just have to see come June. ;-)

New Music: Black Buddafly - Can't "F" With Me

I received this new joint in my inbox, took a listen and couldn't decide if I liked it or not. The song is not bad and is by a group called "Black Buddafly". There's no denying the girls can blow but I think I might have to listen to this song a few more times before I can decide if I like it or not. The big homie Fingaz produced the track so I have to show love but check out the new joint for yourselves called "Can't Fuck With Me" below:

Rick Ross Speaks On The Lawsuit w/DJ Vlad

After about 2 years and some change the lawsuit is finally over between Rick Ross and DJ Vlad. The problem started when DJ Vlad was assaulted by someone in Rick Ross' camp. The dispute was over DJ Vlad putting Rick Ross on blast for being an officer of the law. Make a long story short Vlad was checked and a court trial proceeded. Unfortunately for Rick Ross, Vlad won the trial but was only granted $300,000 for the mishap instead of the $4 million he was originally asking for. I would say that's a victory in Rick Ross' favor but check out what Rick Ross had to say about the lawsuit below:



If I was Rick Ross I would be going for the appeal!! Times are hard and not everyone has $300,000 to be forking over just like that! I'm just saying! What would you do?

Trina Has Her Own Cosmetics Line

We all know that Trina will be releasing her 5th album called "Amazin" on May 4th so don't forget to run out and get yourself a copy. Trina has tracks on the album featuring Keri Hilson, P.

Trina's first product to be released from the cosmetic line will be the "Amazin" lip gloss which will be out in stores sometime after the release of her album! Can't wait to check out those lashes!!!

Sean Garrett Disses Video Vixen Jessenia Vice

I received this information in my inbox and found it rather interesting so I'm going to post it for you guys. Apparently, Sean Garrett was filming a video for his new joint called "Get It All" out in Florida and needed a beautiful girl as his lead. The lead that was chosen by 305 Films was Jessenia Vice. Pictures below of Jessenia:





Jessenia Vice won the Kim Kardashian look alike contest on the Tyra Banks show and was picked by Kim Kardashian herself! Jessenia was also the lead girl in the video "Part Time Lover" by Phar City. Peep Jessenia's cameo below:



305 Films booked Jessenia a first class flight to Florida which was to arrive at 10am. Photo of 1st class flight below:



It just so happens that call time for the videoshoot was 8am and the director of the video, Gil Green, couldn't wait for Jessenia to arrive. To make a long story short, the crew ended up not using Jessenia as the lead but used someone else. 305 Films realizing there was a screw up sent her a check in the amount of $1000 for her troubles. Picture of the check below:



Do you think she deserves an apology from Sean Garrett or does 305 owe her the apology? Would love to hear what you guys think about this. I hope everyone can just work it out! Enjoy the song that caused all this controversy below:

Throwback Joint: Floetry - Floetic

I had this song in my head all day today! I was in the car with my husband and he put this song on and I couldn't get it out of my head. So it's only right that I shared this throwback with you. ;-) Hope you guys enjoy this as much as I did. Check out Floetry's "Floetic" below:

Seems Like Someone Is Really Jealous

Where do I begin? Here we have a young, up and coming female MC by the name of Keys. As a lyricist I think the girl is nice but her claim to fame is hatin on Nicki Minaj? Wack move! Better yet....WHY? As a fan of Nicki Minaj I can tell you that Nicki Minaj didn't just pop onto the scene over night. Nicki has been grinding for a minute! Check her stats....she's been on tons of mixtapes, was on mad street DVD's but best known for being on "The Come UP" DVD. You have to admit a chick from Queens was original. She rapped in a London accent and just switched it up.

Now, I will agree with some of the things Keys is saying but one thing you can't deny is a person's GRIND! Where was all the competition when Nicki was putting in that work? No one mentioned her name when she was just a chick from Queens. But now that Nicki is with Young Money everybody seems to have her name in their mouth....I'm just curious, WHY? Is there that much hate? Or is it jealousy or envy? I'm all for giving someone shine and letting them show their talent but when you waste all of your talent on hatin and writing an entire song bashing someone else to make yourself look better.....I say you need to go back to the drawing board! That is too much hate for one person! Enjoy all the hate you want below:

MTV's Sway Interviews Solar About Guru

I had the honor of meeting Guru on a number of occasions and he was funny as hell and humble. He never gave off that vibe that he was anything more than just Keith Elam. Here it is I'm conversing with a legend in Hip Hop and he's acting like it's a normal day! I laugh about that sometimes. So when I heard of Guru's passing I was surprised, shocked and hurt. I didn't know what his cause of death was but all I knew was that it was a sad day for Hip Hop. Then when they said Guru left a statement for his fans I thought.....WOW! Guru's going to open up to us and let us know what happened. I was sick and disgusted with the statement I read because it didn't seem like a statement a dying man would write. What man on earth would write all these glorious things about their producer/manager (Solar) and not their own family and friends? I immediately thought to myself...Guru didn't write this! I was hoping someone would get their hands on Solar and have a one on one with the man. MTV's Sway did just that below, check it out:

MTV Shows

MTV Shows

MTV Shows

Now, one thing I observed from this interview is that Solar never once took off his shades. As a man, being interviewed in the magnitude that he was being interviewed should've let the world see his eyes so we can determine if he was sincere or not. It's just a respect thing. Secondly, if Guru was Solar's so-called brother then why not attend the funeral? I'm sure I know the answer to that one but Solar won't dare say it on MTV and that is......someone is surely going to kick his ass if they see him there! Just my opinion!

All this talk about Guru and I haven't heard anything about the homie Preemo! Well, check out Preemo's statement below:

IT WAS A SAD DAY FOR ME TO GET CONFIRMATION ON THE DEATH OF A MAN WHO I WILL CONTINUE TO CALL MY BROTHER, KEITH ELAM, BETTER KNOWN AS GURU OF THE LEGENDARY GANG STARR.

FROM 1988-2004, WE EXPERIENCED SO MUCH SUCCESS TOGETHER THAT WE WERE ABLE TO EXPAND OUR BUSINESSES INDEPENDENTLY AND GIVE EACH OTHER WHAT GURU CALLED “CREATIVE SPACE”, BEFORE PLANNING TO REUNITE FOR OUR 7TH LP WHEN THE TIME WAS RIGHT. TRAGICALLY, WE WILL NEVER REACH THAT DAY. I’VE BEEN ASKED TO COMMENT ON A LETTER SPEAKING ILL OF ME WHICH WAS SUPPOSEDLY WRITTEN BY GURU IN HIS DYING DAYS. ALL I WILL SAY ABOUT IT IS THAT OUR TIME TOGETHER WAS BEAUTIFUL, WE BUILT A HIP HOP LEGACY TOGETHER, AND NO ONE CAN RE-WRITE HISTORY OR TAKE AWAY MY LOVE FOR HIM. ONE THING I WOULD NEVER DO IS PLAY AROUND WITH THE TRUTH ABOUT HIS LIFE.I WILL CELEBRATE GURU’S LIFE… I WILL HONOR HIS MEMORY… I WILL GRIEVE WITH THE ELAM FAMILY OVER HIS UNTIMELY DEATH… I WILL REMEMBER THE GANG STARR FOUNDATION AND ALL OF THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS OF GANG STARR WHO CAME BEFORE ME – WE ALL KNOW EACH OTHER… MOSTLY, I WILL CHERISH EVERYTHING WE CREATED TOGETHER AS GANG STARR, FOREVER. I’M GONNA MISS HEARING HIS SIGNATURE MONOTONE VOICE WHEN HE WALKS IN THE ROOM, BUT THE SONGS WILL ALWAYS BRING IT BACK TO ME….HIS RHYME FLOWS WERE INSANE, AND I WILL NEVER REMOVE HIM FROM MY HEART AND SOUL…….REST IN PEACE TO THE MAN WHO FELT “SATISFACTION FROM THE STREET CROWD REACTION” … I LOVE YOU GOO…….DJ PREMIER

Enjoy a classic Gang Starr joint featuring Total called "Discipline" below:

Rapper Diamond Channels Ciara

Rapper Diamond took some time out from her busy schedule to give her own impression of Ciara's "Promise" joint. Not gonna front but Diamond looks like she can give Ciara a run for her money! Just kidding!

Diamond had me almost peeing in my pants when she hopped from one couch to the other and then twirling down the pole! She did a great impression and has a great sense of humor. I'm wondering if this little video was for Scrappy's eyes only? Check it out for yourselves below:

New Music: Trina, Nicki Minaj & Lady Saw - Dang A Lang

Trina is putting it down for me on this new joint called "Dang A Lang" featuring Nicki Minaj and Lady Saw.

Check out the new joint below:



Did you know you can also pre-order Trina's album on iTunes? Well if you didn't, now you do!

MC Breed's Wife Speaks Out On His Death

MC Breed was a rapper from the Midwest who was one of the first in the Midwest to go commercial and be successful. Breed passed away on November 22, 2008 and since his passing there has been no more mention of his name. For all the young heads who are probably not familiar with MC Breed or what he's accomplished let me school you. Breed started putting out solo projects since 1992, has worked with the likes of Tupac and Too Short and stayed in the studio working hard up until 2 days before his death! So why no memorial or mention of the brotha? Well, his wife, Natasha, has something to say about that....check out Part 1 of an interview Natasha did with Hip Hop News 24-7.com below:



Part 2 will be out tomorrow. I will be sure to keep you guys updated.

Chris Brown and Tyga have teamed up for a new joint called "Holla At Me". It might have to take me a few more listens to get into this but it is a great work out song. ;-) Both men are amped in the video so it gives me some motivation. The video was directed by Alex Nazari for blkdmnds.com and of course there is a special guest appearance by Teyana Taylor. Check it out below:



Did Tyga give a mention to Kat Stacks in his verse? Why give this slutbag anymore attention then she deserves? SMDH!
