Mediaite picks up a story about a man being shot in Quincy, Illinois. He actually talks to a junk food media reporter about his ordeal. Devon Hawkins speaks directly to KHQA's Reyna Harvey on live TV about what happened.
The shooting, which took place in the very early hours of this morning, came as a surprise to DeVon, who simply shrugged and said some people “probably want [him] dead” and are “on some other stuff.” A bullet flew through the window of the room he was “chillin’, kickin'” in and his first thought was to get his son out of the room rather than tend to his wound.
He lifted his shirt to showcase his bloody bandages, but the best part of the video might just be when Harvey kicks it back to the studio and an almost unfazed-looking Chad Douglas deadpans that the event was “incredible.”
Again, gun violence is the number one threat in the United States.
Republicans and some squishy Democrats fear the wrath of the National Rifle Association.
If you're looking for another hip-hop feud, tune into Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa. They'll entertain you!
An old feud is reignited. This started over a misunderstanding. But given the controversy that follows Chicago's very own Kanye West, everything is big and his ego drives in cruise control.
He and Wiz Khalifa are back at it again.
And it started over of all things "Kim". Really, it wasn't about Kim, but to Kanye, anything KK is his.

What’s sad is I love Wiz and I love all all my brothers and all people
It seems like in the middle of the Twitter rant, he took a dig at Wiz's ex-wife Amber Rose and their son Sebastian Taylor. Kanye is still bitter about the break up with Amber. So he clapped at her.
What he also did was bring Wiz and Amber's son in this rant. And that's when Amber clapped at him.
Amber Rose basically said that Kanye loves to take it in the butt. She basically saying that he's into the fingers in the anal cavity.
Kanye denied this on social media before he deleted that as well.
"Exes can be mad but just know I never let them play with my ass," West wrote late Thursday. "I don't do that... I stay away from that area all together."
One minute later, West elaborated: "I'm not into that kind of shit," he tweeted. "I like pictures and videos Me and my wife got the kind of love that can turn exes into best friends."
Amber Rose discussed the ordeal in an interview to be released Friday. "I wouldn't have said anything if it was just between him and Wiz," she said on the Allegedly podcast. "That's two grown men hashing it out. That's their business. I would have kept it cute and just minded my business, but you don't bring in my baby. That's so corny."
Wiz while on tour basically said to his audience "fuck Kanye". He said that when you talk about his son, you're an enemy! "You better run, NIGGA!" says Wiz Khalifa.
Kanye is preparing for his seventh album titled Waves. It's going to be highly anticipated.
Wiz is also dropping Khalifa in February 4th. The album comes out a week before Waves comes out on February 11th.
It seems like Kim Kardashian is everywhere. The media loves her and her family. E! Entertainment is making her and her family very rich. Her mother Kris, the ex-wife of then Bruce (now Caitlyn) Jenner, her brothers and sisters roll deep with cameras in tow.
Kanye West, Tyga, Blac Chyna, Lamar Odom, Reggie Bush, Kris Humphries, Ray J, and French Montana got caught into the spin and they're being rinsed.
Kim Kardashian's popularity brings a curse. There are some in the junk food media who believe that Kim's impact on the nation has "dumb down" America.
Video vixen and reality television star Blac Chyna spends the night in lockup after acting a fool on a plane.
Reality turd Tyga's baby mama Blac Chyna was busted in Austin, Texas.
Blac Chyna (known as Angela Renee White) is a model, entertainer and reality turd like the struggling rapper.
Apparently, she was totally drunk and belligerent when she was on flight to foreign soil.
She was flying from Los Angeles to London for personal appearance at Beorma Club.
Blac Chyna got into diva mode while on the plane.The plane had to divert to Austin and the law came on board and placed her in custody.
Here's how weird things get.
Blac Chyna is currently dating Rob Kardashian, the brother of Kim Kardashian-West and half brother of Kylie Jenner. Kylie is currently dating Tyga. Blac Chyna sparked a feud with Kim because of this relationship with her brother. She's best friends with rival Amber Rose.
Kim is feuding with Amber Rose. Rose once dated Kanye West.
Gucci Mane is currently in federal time out in Terre Haute, Indiana. While he's in federal time out, his management company releases music. The most recent release is East Atlanta Santa 2: The Night GuWop Stole X-Mas.
Those in the hip-hop community are relying on releasing mixtapes to stay relevant.
This month alone brought a slew of hip-hop releases.
DatPiff.com is the leading mixtape website. They get the exclusive releases from many known and soon to be known acts.
Fabolous, Lil' Wayne, Chris Brown, Project Pat, Juicy J, Wiz Khalifa, Rick Ross, 50 Cent, Young Buck, Young Thug, Yo Gotti, Busta Rhymes, Bankroll Fresh, Gucci Mane, Waka Flocka, Timbaland, and Trey Songz dropped a mixtape this month.
Canadian rapper/singer Tory Lanez is rising in popularity. He released two mixtapes at the same time this month. He's becoming a buzz on the hip-hop community.
So far this year has been a great year for Kendrick Lamar. The Compton rapper has been nominated for 11 Grammy nominations. His album To Pimp a Butterfly.
Atlanta's king of the trap is Radric Davis (known as the Gucci Mane). Gucci Mane while serving time in ADX Terre Haute has released his 18th mixtape/album. He has been the most active rapper so far this year.
The East Atlanta Santa 2 mixtape was released yesterday.
Meek Mill heading to the iron college. He broke the fourth wall by telling the judge he's no gangsta rapper.
Philadelphia Michael Nutter had knocked Donald Trump for being an asshole. I'm guessing he's going to knock Meek Mill for being in the same league as the billionaire running for the Republican nomination.
Many in the entertainment industry mocked the rapper for being ignorant. I guess he's truly lived to the standard of being an ignorant entertainer.
The court system told Meek Mill to appear to his P.O.. He failed to do it. The court system told him to make frequent drug tests. He failed to do that. The court system told him to report his locations when he was leaving Philadelphia. He didn't. I guess he was so obsessed with being a part of "his girl's tour".
Now in the courtroom, a tearful Meek Mill tells Judge that he's no gangsta. He said that his girl [Queen] Nicki Minaj turned his life over. He apologized for taking shots at the district attorney on his now panned sophomore album "Dreams Worth More Than Money".
The judge said "No mas". You're going to....well you know!
Philly.com reports that Common Pleas Court Judge Genece E. Brinkley hinted that the North Philadelphia rapper's next out-of-town tour - after he is sentenced Feb. 5 - could be the iron college.
"I bent over backward to give him every opportunity to grow his career," Brinkley told defense lawyer Frank DeSimone at the end of the 51/2-hour, virtually nonstop hearing.
Mill, born Robert Williams, and a courtroom packed with his supporters and entourage, including superstar girlfriend Nicki Minaj, seemed stunned by the judge's words.
His girl's tour.... Meek Mill dating Nicki Minaj. She appeared in court with Meek as he faces a bid.
"I know the people who support you really want you to get probation," Brinkley told Mill. "I don't know that would be appropriate because you and I have been around the block a few times."
"I know, your honor," he quietly replied.
Though Mill will not be sentenced for seven weeks, the judge's interim restrictions ended his ability to earn money in the music business.
Brinkley barred Mill from performing anywhere, and limited his travel to the five counties of Southeastern Pennsylvania. He may not even commute to New Jersey to visit his mother, who underwent spine surgery in October.
The judge did permit Mill to do charity work that does not involve performing.
Mill's entertainment management company, Roc Nation, presented the judge with a package of charity and philanthropic ventures - most involving inner-city schools and prison outreach -* in which Mill had expressed interest.
Rapper and singer Nicki Minaj.
Mill testified for about an hour, assuring the judge that he had not purposely defied his probation.
Sounding contrite, Mill praised Brinkley for helping him turn his life around, and said he holds her in the same esteem as his mother, grandmother, sister, and girlfriend.
"I would never dishonor and disrespect you knowing that you are the person who gave me the shot to change my life," he told Brinkley.
After the hearing, Mill quickly doffed his black suit jacket and gray necktie. Court security officers escorted Mill, Minaj - who wore a plum jacket and black skirt - and their entourage to a restricted area containing elevators used by judges and court officials to exit the building.
Neither Mill nor Minaj said a word to reporters.
The case was a routine drug and gun matter in 2008. Mill was convicted, served eight months in the iron college, and then began five years' probation in the fall of 2009.
Since then, his problems following the rules for all probationers - reporting to a probation officer and getting prior approval for out-of-town travel - got him sentenced to an additional five months in the iron college back in 2013.
Assistant District Attorney Noel Ann DeSantis and Probation Officer Treas Underwood outlined a series of alleged probation violations since July, most involving Mill's travels to cities not on his court-approved itinerary or without notifying Underwood.
DeSantis also cited a November urine sample that a technician alleged Mill either diluted with cold water or used another substance to mask illegal drug use. Mill denied doing either, and said the technician threw out the sample and would not permit him to provide another.
Meek Mill's mentor Rick Ross took shots at Drake. Meek and Rozay are members of the Maybach Music mafia.
As in 2013, much of Mill's problems seemed to involve problems in communication among him, his entourage and management, and the probation and court system.
And, as in 2013, Mill on Thursday had an impressive list of supporters vowing to work with him to improve the North Philadelphia community: music legend Kenny Gamble, who said he wanted Mill to work with his charter schools and community projects; Jimmie Moore, a former Municipal Court judge now working with residents and youths in North Philadelphia; and Philadelphia music manager Shawn Gee, who has worked with Minaj and offered to help teach Mill how to manage life in the entertainment business.
Gee warned that Mill's earning ability could be dramatically harmed by any break in his career. Gee said most rap musicians earn the bulk of their revenue through short-notice, one-shot appearances, not recordings.
Gee said Mill's impact on Philadelphia could be immense: "One of the things I noticed is that it's not just the kids in the 'hood, it's kids from Lower Merion. The impact he can have because of the power of his voice can be tremendous."
Meek Mill fucked up. I mean he just about as dumb as Tyga.
In July, Meek Mill took to social media to blast former collaborator Drake for having ghostwriters. Drake nailed his ass to the wall. Meek Mill haven't been able to rebound from this.
The famed tough guy Robert Loggia passed away on Friday.
Robert (born Salvatore), was an American actor and director. He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for Jagged Edge (1985).
Loggia’s most notable film credits included “An Officer and a Gentleman,” “Prizzi’s Honor,” “Independence Day,” David Lynch’s “Lost Highway” and “Big,” in which he played a toy company owner and performed a memorable duet on a giant foot-operated piano with Tom Hanks. He played Miami drug lord Frank Lopez in “Scarface.”
Loggia was nominated for an Emmy in 1989 for his portrayal of FBI agent Nick Mancuso in the series “Mancuso FBI” — which has a spin-off of the character he created in the “Favorite Son” miniseries starring Harry Hamlin — and again in 2000 for his guest star role in “Malcolm in the Middle.”
Loggia was a versatile supporting actor, assembling credits on three different episodes of “The Rockford Files” as three different characters. He also appeared in three different “Pink Panther” movies with three different character names.
Loggia played Anwar Sadat in the 1982 TV movie “A Woman Called Golda” opposite Ingrid Bergman. He also portrayed fearsome mobster-bakery owner Feech La Manna on several episodes of “The Sopranos.”
Loggia was a native of Staten Island, born to Italian immigrants. He received a football scholarship to Wagner College and transferred to the University of Missouri. After serving two years in the U.S. Army, he began classes with Stella Adler and at the Actors Studio.
“He loved being an actor,” his widow told Variety. “He used to say that he never had to work. He never had to wait tables.”
“I loved Bob like a father,” Lionsgate Vice Chairman Michael Burns told Variety. “I will miss him tremendously.”
Loggia played drug lord Frank Lopez.
He broke into the entertainment business performing in stage plays in New York. His first film credit came in 1957 in the noirish “The Garment Jungle.” His first TV credits came in 1958 in “The Nine Lives of Elfego Baca” in a series of Walt Disney TV shows. He starred in the 1966-67 series “T.H.E. Cat” as a former circus aerialist and cat burglar turned professional bodyguard who would introduce himself as “T. Hewitt Edward Cat.”
Loggia’s TV credits included “The Untouchables,” “Columbo,” “Gunsmoke,” “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea,” “The Big Valley,” “Rawhide,” “Little House on the Prairie,” “Starsky and Hutch,” “Charlie’s Angels,” “Magnum, P.I.,” “Kojak,” “Hawaii Five-0,” “The Bionic Woman,” “Frasier” and “Monk.”
His other film roles include “Revenge of the Pink Panther,” “Trail of the Pink Panther,” “Curse of the Pink Panther,” “Over The Top,” “Necessary Roughness,” “Return to Me” and “Armed and Dangerous.”
Loggia is survived by his widow and four children, Tracy, John, Kristina and Cynthia.
His family has asked that donations be made to the Motion Picture and Television Fund. Loggia was an active supporter of the fund.
Funeral services will be private.
Loggia was married to Marjorie Sloan from 1954 to 1981, with whom he had three children: Tracey (an actress), John (a production designer), and Kristina (an actress)
Loggia and Sloan were divorced in 1981.
In 1982, Loggia married Audrey O'Brien, a business executive and the mother of his stepdaughter Cynthia Marlette. Loggia and O'Brien remained married until his death in 2015.
Loggia had been battling Alzheimer’s Disease for the past five years, according to his widow. They had been married for 33 years.
The Chicago Police are determined to find out why the person who filmed this.
A young boy wearing only a diaper takes two hits off what appears to be a joint or a blunt under the guidance of a man whose voice can be heard in the 16-second video.
The New York Daily News reports that the video is disturbing.
“Smoke, bro,” the man, who isn’t seen, said. “Inhale it.”
He added, “Do this” before showing the boy how to inhale.
The boy held the apparent weed in front of him for a moment, nearly burning himself.
“Let me hit that,” the man said. The video then ends.
Investigators with the Area South Special Victims unit are looking into where the footage was filmed, a Chicago police spokesman said. Community activist Andrew Holmes alerted cops after someone sent him the video on social media, he told WMAQ-TV.
“This is sickening,” Holmes said. “This child needs help ASAP if he hasn’t had help already. It’s disturbing to hear the adult that was in the background to let them hit it and they’re telling the child to inhale.”
Future's successful year. There's talk about him dating Blac Chyna. She's the ex-wife of washed up rapper Tyga.
After the past comes the present and then the future.
What A Time To Be Alive from Drake and Future came Number 1 on the Billboard Top 200. It pushing over 500,000 copies. It's well on its way to be platinum. The collaboration mixtape/album is the second Number 1 this year for both Drake and Future. This may be the first time Future scores a platinum album.
Drake release If You're Reading This It's Too Late in February and Future released Dirty Sprite 2 (titled DS2) in July.
Future is seeing endless possibilities. Last year, his high profile relationship with Ciara ended. Ciara gave birth to Future's son. Future has five children. He had one of his daughters from my closest cousin.
Rumors are swirling about his love life. There's talk about him dating Tyga's former girl Blac Chyna. The rapper isn't telling the world what he's doing but surely TMZ is agitating the possibility of this happening.
Amber Rose with Blac Chyna
Tyga is having a bad year. He is blowing money fast. He is dating Kylie Jenner, the now 18-year old celebrity agitator and her demands are seriously breaking him. He is apparently no longer on Young Money/Cash Money.
Tyga is feuding with former labelmate Drake. Last year, Tyga called Drake "fake" and "weirdo".
Drake rip him a new one. The boss Bryan "Birdman" Williams had him blackballed.
Blac Chyna is the mother of Tyga's son. She was pissed at Tyga for dumping her for the celebrity agitator. She called Kylie, an underage brat. Now she devotes her time trashing on him online and public. She says that he's a very desperate man who can't even take care of their son.
She and Amber Rose dog on Tyga for being foolish.
Rumor or fact? Future spotted with Blac Chyna.
To add insult to injury, Future may have gotten his girl. Tyga will likely address this relationship.
Future is a notorious cheater. The reason for the Ciara and Future break up was the allegations of cheating.
Future was pissed at Ciara for hitting him up on child support. Ciara started dating Russell Wilson, the NFL quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks. She is allowing their son around Wilson and Future is none too happy about that.
Taylor Gang CEO and pro-marijuana advocate Cameron Thomaz (best known as Wiz Khalifa) couldn't fly the friendly skies. He was busted at LAX (Los Angeles International Airport) for riding a hoverboard through the lobby.
What kind of bullshit led up to the famed rapper's detainment?
He got restrained by the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agency after he was told to get off the hoverboard.
I guess they didn't realize he was an entertainer.
They slammed him face first into the ground and took the hoverboard.
Many figured that the CBP and Los Angeles Port Authority took it a little too far.
The CBP released a statement in regards to the event.
"CBP officers are conducting their critical national security mission while facilitating the entry of legitimate travelers. An uncompliant passenger or any disruptive behavior could put many at risk in this highly secure area. Privacy laws prevent CBP from discussing specific cases."
So Wiz went to social media to let the public know that police brutality exist. It affects him.
Haven't been slammed and cuffed in a while. That was fun.
Bobbi Kristina was laid to rest over the weekend. Her family got into a heated feud.
The Houston and Brown family pay their last respects to the celebrity agitator Bobbi Kristina Brown.
Her funeral was held in suburban Atlanta. The family decided to have her buried next to her mother, the late pop singer Whitney Houston.
Bobbi Kristina will be buried with her mom.
Brown died in hospice care July 26, six months after being found face down and unresponsive in a bathtub at her suburban Atlanta home. She never regained consciousness after the incident, and her months of medical care exposed family rifts that never seemed to heal.
Brown's partner Nick Gordon, who discovered her in the bathtub, repeatedly said on social media that he was not allowed to see her in the hospital. Entertainment Tonight and People magazine reported Gordon was absent from the funeral.
In June, a civil lawsuit was filed against Gordon in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, alleging that he accessed Brown's bank accounts and stole more than $11,000.
But the funeral didn't go peacefully as many would have thought.
CNN reports that there were also reports the family was fighting over her care, though Bobby Brown said in June the family was working together on his daughter's behalf.
The family drama continued even at the funeral. In the middle of the service, Brown's aunt, Leolah Brown, walked over to the media gathered outside the church and said she had just been kicked out for shouting at Pat Houston, Whitney's sister-in-law.
"It went wonderful until Pat started speaking, and I didn't like that," Leolah Brown said.
Whatever dispute the two women have "is going to be a long, drawn-out thing," Brown promised. "Trust me. It's not over."
Bobbi Kristina Brown's body will be flown to New Jersey, where a private burial is scheduled for Monday next to her mother's grave, CNN affiliate WSB reported.
Future pour up another one. The rapper releases DS2 on Epic Records.
Future announced a surprise album. The album originally a mixtape will be released on July 17.
Coincidence?
The NASA New Horizon's space probe enters the dwarf planet Pluto's orbit. It comes timely around the time of Future's release album date.
Friday is now the official album release date for many musicians. With record sales in the toilet, many entertainers are trying to save grace. They want to help motivate buyers by moving album releases from Tuesday to Friday.
The Friday releases offer buyers an opportunity to spend their paycheck on albums that they couldn't afford on Tuesday. Drake proved to be the one hip-hop artist capable of shaking up music sales. He released his fourth album without notice on Friday in February.
Most Americans receive a paycheck on Friday.
It seems to be working a little bit. Drake's If You're Reading This It's Too Late went platinum.
Could the same work for Lil' Wayne and Future?
Many albums are now based on digital sales. Many entertainers are aware that in order to stay relevant, promote, promote, promote!
Nayvadius DeMon Wilburn got to feed them children. He is the father of five children. One of them children came from India J, one of my closest cousins. She had dated Future when he was an underground rapper.
He's been a big player in his rise to the A game. Future has been performing at clubs and releasing mixtapes around 2009. His style uses autotune, fast lyrics and harmony soul.
He often talks about his obsession with codeine flavored drinks along with a sack of skunk.
When he released his Dirty Sprite mixtape, it landed on Billboard with the hit single Racks (with YC). That would begin a career into the mainstream.
Then came the mixtapes True Story, Streetz Calling and Astronaut Status.
True Story featured the smash singles Magic, Tony Montana, and Ain't No Way Around It.
Streetz Calling featured the smash singles Same Damn Time, Go To The Moon and Word To My Muva.
Astronaut Status featured the hit singles Itchin', Blow, Nunbout, and Transform.
The mixtapes helped Future gain momentum. He would become a featured player.
Songs with Lil' Wayne, Rihanna, Rick Ross, Ludacris, Flo Rida, Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, and Miley Cyrus would make Future an in-demand rapper. And about that time, Future released his debut album Pluto.
His album was certified gold and it didn't stop. He created the Freebandz Gang and helped promote his crew through a couple of mixtapes and top-tier features.
Then he went forth to release the second album Honest. The album was long delayed but it came forth with the smash single Karate Chop which was altered after Lil' Wayne said an offensive statement towards Emmitt Til.
He was doing tours with Drake, Big Sean and Lil' Wayne. He would gain international acclaim. He would find another beau and this one was a high profile pop singer.
The rapper released DS2 (Double Sprite 2). The rapper album will be released on July 17,
His most high profile relationship was with Ciara Harris. The pop singer dated the rapper despite pleas from my cousin and the three other women. They warned her that he's Never Satisfied.
Ciara was knocked up last year and Future was going to put a ring on it. But after the junk food media released his personal business out there, they broke up. The junk food media had told tales of Future getting cozy with the groupies and doing the nasty backstage.
Ciara now raising his son Future Zahir. She revisit the religion and is now dating Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.
Wilson is a devout to the religion and is Honest. Ciara's promise payback. Especially when it comes to child support.
Future ain't mad. He wishes his formers well.
Future kept the fans pleased with the Future Hendrix mixtape series. He released Monster (with Metro Boomin), Beast Mode (with Zaytoven), 56 Nights (with The 808 Mafia) and told the social media folks that DS2 is coming. The mixtape Ape Shit (with Mike Will Made It) will come in late Summer.
Future's newest album will feature longtime collaborating with Drake.
In an interview with Dr. Marc Lamont Hill of Huffington Post, the rapper details his biggest accomplishments and what he's doing since his breakup with the pop singer.
Future kept it honest. He said that the music clears his mind. He loves his children. He got a strategy for the future. He ain't worried about the haterswho say his music destroys hip-hop.
DS2 (Dirty Sprite 2) is the third album release from Atlanta based rapper. The album tracklisting and singles leaked over the past 24 hours and it was quickly scrubbed from Wikipedia and iTunes.
From what I've seen on the tracklisting, the album will feature the major acts Lil' Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Gucci Mane, Ty Dolla $ign, and Drake. Future had collaborated with these entertainers.
Production will likely come from Mike Will Made It, Metro Boomin', 808 Mafia, and Zaytoven.
His longtime collaborator Young Scooter will appear on the album too. Scooter is a part of the Freebandz Gang alongside his affiliations with 1017 Brick Squad and his Black Migo Gang.
Lil' Wayne drops a surprise album last night and it's already driven over 5 million streams on TIDAL.
Dwayne Carter released it solely on Young Money Entertainment. The rapper is pissed with Cash Money Records delaying Tha Carter V album.
Lil' Wayne (aka Lil' Tunchi, Birdman Jr., Weezy F. Baby, Free Weezy).
Weezy announced a Free Weezy Album, would be released prior to the fifth installment in his popular series.
In June 2015, Wayne joined Jay-Z's TIDAL, as an artist owner, kicking off the partnership by exclusively releasing a single on the service titled "Glory."
He's also announced plans on his own TIDAL X concert series.
Weezy released Free Weezy Album, exclusively through TIDAL, under Young Money and Republic Records.
In this latest bout of frustration with his label, Weezy took Cash Money to court. He is suing for $51 million for royalties and back pay.
Drake who is affiliated with Cash Money and Young Money has partnered with Apple to launch his next album. "Focus on your body of work," Drake said. "Instead of having to post your stuff on these different and sometimes confusing places, it's all in one place: Connect."
Weezy has also address concerns about Drake and Nicki Minaj leaving both labels because of incompetent management by Birdman and their feud with ex-labelmate Tyga.
Drake and Nicki both have frustrations with Birdman and Tyga.
They have subliminally diss them on albums.
Drake has signaled his intentions to jump ship. He released his fourth album through Apple without acknowledgement from Young Money or Cash Money. His fifth album which may be dropped on a surprise date could signal the end of Drake's run with the labels.
Tyga also released his long delayed album. The Gold Album 18th Dynasty was released quietly on June 23 with very few features. Notable features include Weezy and Boozie Badazz. This release is considered Tyga's official departure from Cash Money and Young Money.
Straight out of the LBC, Snoop Dogg has already brought his star power to the presidential election.
As he was talking to the junk food media about his album release and his potential role in the N.W.A. bio-pic. He decided to roll one up for Hillary Clinton.
He's not the only rapper to endorse the former Secretary of State.
You got Atlanta's wild man Waka Flocka. I believe he's the first rapper to publicly come out in support of Hillary Clinton.
You got 50 and his old rival Ja Rule endorsing her. These two put aside their differences in 2013.
Conservatives are as usual pissed off that she's getting a fair share of endorsements from "THUGS".
Thug is the new NIGGER for the racist right. They can't fathom being called racist. They believe that if you twist NIGGER to THUG, then its "not racist". It's basically saying these entertainers are criminals or potential criminals. So according to them, it's not really racist.
The conservatives despise the hip-hop community. They believe that the music endorses sexism, violence and anti-cop rhetoric.
Things that make conservative cry hypocrisy towards Hillary Clinton. They believe that she's using her position as a woman to win "feminist" votes. The conservatives believe Blacks are slaves to the Democratic Party. In their mindsets, they believe Blacks are poor, lazy, uneducated and potential criminals. They think that every police shooting of an unarmed suspect is justified. No matter what the situation.
Hip-hop celebs endorse Hillary. 50 Cent, Ja Rule, Snoop Dogg and Waka Flocka have came out for her.
And since the Republican Party embraces conservatism, the party suffers a lack of votes because in the minds of Black voters, they're too ideology rigid. They have no place for Black voters.
Yeah, there may be some Black, Hispanic and other races who embrace conservatism and the Republicans, but there considered "tone deaf" or the "crazy uncle" at the family reunion.
We don't call Black Republicans "UNCLE TOMS". We call them that "CRAZY FAMILY MEMBER" who we try not to engage conversation with.
As black-ish explained it: Republicans, we just don't do that!
Damn, Stallmigo Marco Rubio (R-FL) is running too. He's a big fan of hip-hop. He loves Big Snoop, 50 Cent, Lil' Wayne and Wiz Khalifa. But I guess that "R" on his chest keep the rappers away from him.
Hillary Clinton is still not inspiring to me. I don't know why?
Hillary grinding when she was Secretary of State.
I think she's a great candidate for the Democrats. But somehow, whenever they run perennial candidates against a newcomer, I believe the newcomer will always win.
Nonetheless, the obsession with her is too much for me to stomach. We know a majority of Republicans and conservatives hate her and Bill Clinton. All this talk about everyone and anyone associated with her, Benghazi and her emails are distractions. They are not issues about the economy, national security and infrastructure.
The Republican candidates suck so much, they're hoping that they can murky the waters so much they'll make Hillary uninspiring. They know she's the only potential threat to Republicans. If they can bitch and whine so much about her, they'll try to keep Democrats away from the ballot box.
They hate President Barack Obama way more than her. So you know they're going to use him as a weapon like the Democrats used George W. Bush.
Snoop Dogg endorsed perennial loser Ron Paul for president. Then he switched gears and went with a real winner Barack Obama.
This endorsement of Hillary Clinton could benefit her with young voters.
Famed model Amber Rose spotted with rapper Machine Gun Kelly.
Cleveland rapper and producer Machine Gun Kelly confirms he's dating model Amber Rose. They've been dating for a few months now and the junk food media is talking about it.
Despite her ex-husband Wiz Khalifa pleading to get back together, the marriage is over and Amber Rose wants someone who can be there for her and her son.
Enter Machine Gun Kelly. The Cleveland rapper who had collaborated with Wiz Khalifa is now budding a romance with his ex-wife.
They spent Mother's Day together.
Machine Gun Kelly (born Richard Baker and is most commonly referred as MGK or Kellz) has been a rising figure in the hip-hop game. He signed to Bad Boy Records and recorded his national debut Lace Up. He's working on his second album on Bad Boy and his EST19XX label.
Sharing the bud....and the woman.
This comes as no surprise that Wiz had recorded Mind of a Stoner with Kellz. Damn it's like the bro code is broken. They worked together, smoke together, fuck the same woman.
I see how Kanye West felt when he and Wiz beefed over Amber. Now I am guessing Kellz and Wiz will smoke a joint and diss each other.
Rose filed divorce papers in September 2014 after a little more than a year of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences.
IBT reports that Wiz and Amber spent time together with their two-year-old son Sebastian as a family over Easter, many believed the married couple were back on track.
Now, Wiz is said to have released a song detailing his heartbreak following the end of their marriage, with lyrics including: "Thought I had it, all the magic I could imagine, then it all went tragic, automatically I'm the bad one, I was only doing us.
"I gave you everything, a kid and a house, and a wedding ring, and now you talkin' 'bout how you could do better things."
Kellz has a daughter with his former girl. The rapper expressed his love for his child, Cassie.
So do you believe in the bro code?
The bro code is a pop theme created by How I Met Your Mother. Cater Bays and Craig Thomas created the term for Neil Patrick Harris who played womanizer Barney Stinson.
The code is an etiquette for men to follow. It's similar to M.O.B. (Money over Bitches).
The insurgents want DC mayor Muriel Bowser locked up for advocating weed in her town.
Two insurgent lawmakers are pissed that District of Columbia residents passed a legislation allowing marijuana use in the nation's capital.
The District of Columbia and Alaska joins Colorado and Washington as places where you can light up some ounces of weed. The marijuana is legal in three and one federal district now.
Some lawmakers aren't keen on it. DC is technically ran by Congress. They control the spending and ordinances in the district.
Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) and Andy Harris (R-MD) have threatened to take Washington, DC Mayor to the federal time out for advocating it.
Insurgent lawmaker Jason Chaffetz (R-UT)
Muriel Bowser, the Democratic mayor (semi-governor) has ignored the threats. The Nation reports that Bowser and the District’s police chief announced earlier in the day that the city would move on the legalization measure, despite Congress’s disapproval. Voters approved Initiative 71 by a huge margin in November, but a month later federal lawmakers inserted a rider into the budget bill intended to prevent the city from using any funds to implement it or to set up a system for taxing and regulating marijuana sales. Doing so would be a violation of the Anti-Deficiency Act, which forbids DC from spending money that was not appropriated by Congress.
City officials, including Attorney General Karl Racine, argue that the rider doesn’t actually bar them from implementing Initiative 71, because the ballot measure was already certified by the time Congress voted. According to their interpretation, the rider does prevent the District from loosing drug laws any further. Based on this understanding, the City council canceled a hearing on taxing and regulating marijuana earlier in February, after Racine warned that council members and their staff could face fines and jail time if they took part.
Go Green.
Chaffetz’s threat, on the other hand, is hot air. Violating the Anti-Deficiency Act does carry civil and criminal penalties but, sadly for them, lawmakers like Chaffetz have little power to enforce it. (Chaffetz’s office did not return a request to clarify how implementing Initiative 71 could lead to jail time for city officials.) The Obama administration—specifically, the Department of Justice—would have to initiate prosecution. That’s hard to imagine, in light of the president’s statements in support of the legalization initiative—although it’s possible that a anti-marijuana presidential candidate could be elected in 2016 and initiate legal action against the city at that point. Chaffetz played coy when asked if he might sue the city— “It’s in the law; it’s crystal clear,” is all he told the Post— but Representative Mark Meadows, one of the other Republicans trying to block the measure, said “there’s no talk of litigation.” Instead, he issued a vague threat having to do with the District’s ability to get congressional approval for future, unrelated measures
Pimp My Ride may come back to MTV. The Huffington Post opens up some of the secrets of this once successful show.
The MTV show featuring rapper Xzibit was one popular show back then. Long after it's been pulled off the roster, many accusations come forth that the reality show is actually fake.
Wow. Should I be surprised?
The Huffington Post has a report about some of the contestants of Pimp My Ride being ringers.
Not saying that most of the contestants are fake, but a few of them came forth to thank MTV and Xzibit for giving them an opportunity to promote their companies and their new whips.
Never discredit a show for what it does. It's reality television. Often you should expect this.
I wouldn't think much of this if I didn't think I could get a chance to "pimp my ride".
Chris Brown and Tyga had to cancel concerts in Canada. Brown was denied entry to Canada. I'll betcha they'll blame Drake and Bryan "Birdman" Williams of Cash Money Records for their shortcomings.
Breezy was denied entry into the neighbor of the North. He must obtain special clearance if he is to perform in Canada. Unfortunately, this string of bad luck continues to plague the troubled, nearly washed up pop singer, rapper, celebrity agitator.
The singer tweeted yesterday, "The good people of the Canadian government wouldn't allow me entry," the New York Daily News reports, though that tweet has since been deleted. Concert promoter Live Nation later announced that "due to immigration issues," Brown's concerts (last night in Montreal and tonight in Toronto) have been canceled, the AP reports. Canada Border Services wouldn't comment on Brown's case specifically, but a spokesman said immigration officials use several factors to decide whether to allow entry, and criminal activity is one of those factors. Brown, of course, spent almost three months in jail last year for violating his probation, which he was on after assaulting Rihanna in 2009.
The Canadian government says Brown can apply to enter the country at a later date, and in his tweet, Brown noted that he has plans to return this summer. Brown's criminal record has previously gotten him barred from the UK, a snafu that forced him to cancel four concerts.
He and his best buddy Tyga (Michael Nyguen Stevenson) are promoting their collaboration album Fan of a Fan. They are also promoting their feud with native Canadian rapper/singer/entertainer Aubrey "Drake" Graham. They openly dissed Drake on albums and mixtapes.
Drake released his fourth album and addressed his feud with Tyga and Brown.
Tyga (left) and Chris Brown (right) release their debut collaboration album.
Since late October, the Cash Money/Young Money family has seen an internal feud spill out into the junk food media. It began when Tyga went on record to call Drake "fake" and says that he doesn't give two fucks about him and Nicki Minaj. Then Bryan "Birdman" Williams got fed up with the business being put out on the streets. He decided to put Tyga's album out to pasture and move Nicki Minaj's album to December.
Then in November, the hancho of Young Money Lil' Wayne took to Twitter to vent off frustration with Cash Money delaying his latest album. The album's release date is right now in the unknown, and Weezy F Baby openly went forth to say that he'll sue the label for delaying his album.
Williams, the CEO of Cash Money/Rich Gang has taken interest in Chris Brown, newcomers Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug. He wants to promote these three acts on the Rich Gang label, ignoring the Cash Money roster and putting his top act to the back burner.
Them days of freedom for Big Suge are over. The gruesome hit-and-run of a person may be the media mogul's undoing.
Not only facing felonious assault for smacking up a female photographer but now add an alleged fatal hit and run. The legal woes continues for former Death Row Records co-founder Marion "Suge" Knight. The media mogul who formerly was a member of the domestic terrorist group The Bloods has been in and out of the iron college. But now this time, I think he's at his third strike and he's going to be out.
If the charges are proven, he's going to the iron college for LIFE.
The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department responded to a hit and run crash Thursday afternoon in Compton that multiple reports said involved Suge Knight .
Two people were hit, and one later died at a hospital, authorities said. According to Fox 11 and TMZ, Suge Knight was in the car that fled the scene.
Apparently Knight was trying to stalk Dr. Dre, Game and Ice Cube. They were at publicity shoot in the suburb of Compton. I guess Knight and his crew were going to be bystanders. Of course, some one shouted some offensive words at that's what lead to a huge fight. During the fight, someone got into a car and ran over a person. The fingers are pointed at Knight.
Knight and the good doc have an ongoing feud over the doc's departure from Death Row. Big Suge accuses the doc of being a sellout and snitch. Big Suge believes Dre betrayed the label. Dr. Dre was the other co-founder of Death Row.
After Dre's departure, he went forth to start up Aftermath Entertainment and Beats Audio.
Dr. Dre has a restraining order against Suge Knight. Knight has mocked it and questioned the sexuality of Dre in retaliation. He also sparked a major fight in 2004 after an associate of Knight sucker punched Dre and lead to former Aftermath rapper Young Buck to stab the guy.
The LAPD said that Knight has turned himself in. We don't have any new updates to this, but expect it be a story that me and S. Baldwin will continue to follow. We send our condolences to the victim who was killed in this senseless tragedy.
For publicity purposes, Atlanta based rapper 2 Chainz is considering a run for mayor in the nearby suburb of College Park. The rapper proving to the world that he's more than an entertainer, but an informed individual who believes in doing something good for the public.
After the latest bout with Nancy Grace, the Atlanta Constitution Journal is reporting that Tauheed Epps (aka 2 Chainz/Tity Boi) is testing the water.
“I am looking forward to running at the end of this year or next year. [I’m] waiting to see if I meet all of the qualifications!” the “Mercy” rapper told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Monday.
Word of 2 Chainz’s political ambitions initially surfaced in an interview with XXLMag.com.
“I’m supposed to be running for mayor in College Park. I got everybody wishing,” he told the site.
But the 37-year-old also has a few arrests for narcotics possession on his resume. His quest for mayoral supremacy would pit him against Jack Longino, who has served as College Park’s mayor since 1996.
Earlier this month, 2 Chainz announced the creation of his own record label, The Real University (aka The Real U, aka T.R.U.), which he plans to use as a platform for rising talent.
Is the Feds Watching?
2 Chainz is an artist on Def Jam. He was a part of Ludacris' label Disturbing Tha Peace for fifteen years. He left the label in 2011 to strike it on his own. He released two albums Based on a TRU Story and BOATS II: Me Time on Def Jam.
I'll bet you that if he intends on running, expect the racist right to make noise about it!
This must be one of the most desperate attempts for courtroom agitator Nancy Grace.
She would host rapper 2 Chainz on her program to discuss marijuana and the children.
Don't forget that you must be 17 years old to purchase an album with the parental advisory label.
So I don't see the point in saying the children when you have to be an adult to buy a 2 Chainz album?
HLN is dying and I guess to siphon off those age 25 -54 demo from Loserville, they'll host a A-list rapper who frequently talks about hip-hop and weed.
Since I don't have the cable news, I often look at the websites such as Mediaite and The Huffington Post for the most outrageous moments in cable news.
The last time I've mentioned 2 Chainz was the fact he was shot at in San Francisco. Yeah, don't forget that appearance on the CBS sitcom 2 Broke Girls.
Yeah, he preparing for his third album on Def Jam and releasing his newest mixtape T.R.U. Jack City in late January. He also launched his own imprint called T.R.U. - The Real University (or The Real U).
