Drake released his fourth album. Drake aimed at labelmate Tyga after the rapper called him "fake".
The YMCMB family is having some major issues. The tipping point happened back in December when Lil' Wayne expressed frustration with Birdman and the label delaying his albums. Lil' Wayne openly blasted the label and complained that Cash Money is pushing him and his acts to the side for the newer acts.
Tyga who is one of the members of the Cash Money label is affiliated with Young Money Entertainment. His third album is shelved because of the tension brewing between him and Drake.
Tyga and his best buddy Chris Brown appear on radio to trash the Canadian entertainer. They are working on a collaboration album called Fan of a Fan. They both acknowledged that Drake's "fake" and can't live up to the standards they offer. They don't want to give him the fame...
Drake is one of the world's most recognizable entertainers. He and Nicki Minaj are often nominated for Grammy's while Tyga is nominated for....nothing!
Tyga is jealous of Drake for one thing.
Obviously, being a second stringer isn't one of the things Tyga's capable of understanding.
Common and John Legend won an Oscar. They join Eminem and Three Six Mafia as Oscar award winning hip-hop entertainers. Their song for the hit movie Selma took home an Oscar. It also defies the little controversy ensuing nominees being mostly White performers.
Congratulations to Common and John Legend. Glory won the Oscar for the Best Score in a Motion Picture.
Wikipedia give a brief summary of both entertainers.
Common debuted in 1992 with the album Can I Borrow a Dollar? and maintained a significant underground following into the late 1990s, after which he gained notable mainstream success through his work with the Soulquarians.
In 2011, Common launched Think Common Entertainment, his own record label imprint and in the past has released music under various other labels such as Relativity, Geffen and GOOD Music, among others.
Common's first major-label album, Like Water for Chocolate, received widespread critical acclaim and tremendous commercial success.
His first Grammy Award was in 2003, winning Best R&B Song for "Love of My Life", with Erykah Badu.
Its popularity was matched by May 2005's Be, which was nominated for Best Rap Album, at the 2006 Grammy Awards. Common was awarded his second Grammy for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group, for "Southside" (featuring Kanye West), from his July 2007 album Finding Forever. His best-of album, Thisisme Then: The Best of Common, was released on November 27, 2007.
Common won the 2015 Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song, and the 2015 Academy Award for Best Original Song, for his song "Glory" from the 2014 film Selma, in which he co-starred as 1960s Civil Rights Movement leader James Bevel.
Common's acting career also includes starring significant roles in the films Smokin' Aces, Street Kings, American Gangster, Wanted, Terminator Salvation, Date Night, Just Wright, Happy Feet Two, and New Year's Eve. He also narrated the award-winning documentary Bouncing Cats, about one man's efforts to improve the lives of children in Uganda through hip-hop/b-boy culture.
He starred as Elam Ferguson on the AMC western television series Hell on Wheels.
John Legend was born in Springfield, Ohio. He is one of four children of Phyllis Elaine (née Lloyd), a seamstress, and Ronald Lamar Stephens, a factory worker and former National Guardsman.
Throughout his childhood, Legend was homeschooled on and off by his mother. At age four, he performed with his church choir. He began playing the piano at age seven. In 1987, when he was nine, his parents divorced. At the age of twelve, Legend attended North High School, from which he graduated four years later. Upon his salutatorian graduation, Legend was offered admission to Harvard University and scholarships to Georgetown University and Morehouse College. He attended the University of Pennsylvania, where he studied English with an emphasis on African American literature.
While in college, Legend served as president and musical director of a co-ed jazz and pop a cappella group called Counterparts. His lead vocals on the group's recording of Joan Osborne's "One of Us" received critical acclaim landing the song on the track list of the 1998 Best of Collegiate a Cappella compilation CD.
Legend was also a member of the prestigious senior societies Sphinx Senior Society and Onyx Senior Honor Society while an undergraduate at Penn. While in college, Legend was introduced to Lauryn Hill by a friend. Hill hired him to play piano on "Everything Is Everything", a song from her album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.
During this period, he began to hold a number of shows around Philadelphia, eventually expanding his audience base to New York, Boston, Atlanta, and Washington, D.C. He finished college in 1999, and thereafter began producing, writing, and recording his own music. He released two albums independently; his self-titled demo (2000) and Live at Jimmy's Uptown (2001), which he sold at his shows. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, Legend began working as a management consultant for the Boston Consulting Group.
During this time, he began working on his demo and began sending his work to various record labels.
In 2001, Devo Springsteen introduced Legend to then up-and-coming hip-hop artist Kanye West; Legend was hired to sing during the hooks of West's music. After signing to West's label, he chose his stage name from an idea that was given to him by poet J. Ivy, due to what he perceived "old-school sound". J. Ivy stated, "I heard your music and it reminds me of that music from the old school.
You sound like one of the legends. As a matter of fact, that's what I'm going to call you from now on!
I'm going to call you John Legend." After J. Ivy continued to call him by the new moniker "John Legend," others quickly caught on, including Kanye West, and the name stuck. Despite Legend's reluctance to change his stage name, he eventually announced his new artist name as John Legend.
Common (Lonnie Lynn) and John Legend (John Stevens) are affiliated with Kanye West and his label G.O.O.D. Music. Common is a signed artist on Def Jam and John Legend is a signed artist on Sony Urban Music.
The conservative agitators aren't going to love this. Common and John Legend are friends with Barack and Michelle Obama.
A few years back, Common was invited to the White House for a poetic session and that annoying conservative agitator went bonkers over it.
Also the conservative agitators hated the fact that John Legend and Common both express concern about Black men being profiled by police.
Common currently attends Trinity United Church of Christ. The church was the scapegoat in the Jeremiah Wright controversy.
Another toy for the racist right to exploit. Another I'm not a "racist" but I think Black people are.... Or perhaps, I'm not a "racist" but I think Barack Obama is.... Who obviously would link a Black middle school student trashing the president to the online media.
The conservative Craigslist of racial agitation.... Never a dull moment for the reclusive racial arsonist.
The smart people believe that President Obama doesn't love America. All because he won't say "radical Islam" and many other divisive phrases.
The first Black president who won two landslide elections by motivating a strong turnout of Black voters and newly registered younger voters hates this country. A man who grew up in Hawaii traveled overseas and had an opportunity to move the bar forward in American history hates this country.
Instead of having a normal life, this Black teen is posting on YouTube his political opinions. He's spewing extremist rhetoric.
A man who is married with two children and dedicated his whole life to service really hates this country.
This is the reasons to why I seriously believe that the Republican Party is doomed to failure. They may have won Congress for the time being, but the changing demographics and the constant overreacting to everything or anything the president does will seriously doom their chances at winning the White House.
I didn't expect the Obama obsession to go this far.
This turd from Georgia goes right after the president and defended that simpleton Rudy Giuliani.
CJ Pearson posted a YouTube video yesterday in which he seeks to “applaud Mayor Rudy Giuliani for his comments about President Barack Obama.”
“Here’s the truth of the matter: I don’t want to be politically correct. I don’t care about being politically correct at this point.
“President Obama, You don’t love America. If you really did love America, you would call ISIS what it really is: an assault on Christianity, an assault on America and downright hate for the American values that our country holds. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion and every single thing that our country stands for.”
He adds, “I hope that one day people will get enough guts to speak out against your downright hatred for this nation.”
This boy has some balls to say that the president doesn't love America?
Kind of funny that these idiots claim the president hates America when in reality they're the ones who actually hate America. They're so blinded with this stupid obsession to attack the president no matter what he does.
By the way, the president ignores the carnival barkers. This kid and the Craigslist of the racist right are the masters of carnival barking.
Oh, CJ Pearson will likely get death threats for his freedom of speech. So don't be surprised, you'll find him on Loserville bitching about it.
It's pathetic I got to tell thousands of workers protecting our country, they're not getting paid.
The stalemate in Congress is over the president's executive orders over immigration reform has the Department of Homeland Security on the ropes.
Jeh Johnson the first African American to be secretary of the DHS is pissed that Congress is playing Russian Roulette with the national security. The junk food media spooked the Americans into believing terrorism is coming to America. The DHS is pushing its only hopes to get funding, push the blame game onto the political partisans who were elected to do nothing but agitate.
The insurgents want to fund the DHS but they want the president's executive orders repealed.
The Democrats want the DHS funded, but they want this to be a "clean" bill.
The old geezers of GOP Sundays are barking about the latest online video by those extremists. The soft target Mall of America is mentioned by these boogeymen. Now the Republican senators and the current Homeland Security chief Jeh Johnson are barking on GOP Sundays about it.
The Congress is coming back from vacation. They have four days to get their act in order or the DHS will start issuing furloughs and back pay for thousands of workers.
It would be nice to have a paycheck for the 24/7 operation called the Transportation Security Administration. It would be nice to have paycheck for the 24/7 operation called the U.S. Customs and Borders Protection Agency. It would be nice to see the 24/7 federal agencies such as the Secret Service, Immigration and Customs Enforcement workers get their paychecks.
Talk about the Federal Emergency and Management Agency. You know those people who help aid Americans in the wake of a disaster. Do you think they should get a paycheck?
Even the U.S. Coast Guard is a 24/7 operation that is funded by the DHS. Do you think these men and women who work our seas deserve a paycheck?
Wow, the DHS anchors more than these organizations, but what about the people who cleans those toilets, fixes the food, parks their cars, and landscaping?
The Republican leadership is concerned that "all their talk about being the grown ups in the room" is being squandered. The Republicans must have Democrats support their bills. They can't pass them without some jumping to the other side.
The Republicans got the blame for the 2013 government shutdown. They sat on their knees claiming that the president didn't want the government running. They will be blamed if DHS runs out of funds.
Outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder is never shy from talking about the disparaging disconnect between Blacks and law enforcement. He, his son, President Barack Obama and other Black men were subjected to racial profiling. It's a notorious practice where those in law enforcement makes a call on suspicious activity. They assume that the individual is likely committing a crime. So the law will make a bullshit excuse to pull over the individual and force a search and seizure of property without a warrant. The law will actually lie to make a justifiable arrest.
As you know, I am very familiar with the situation with Blacks and the law.
Black males are often seen as violent by those in law enforcement and those in the junk food media.
The U.S. Justice Department is going to shake up the way Ferguson, Missouri's police handles situations in which they require deadly force.
After the August 2014 shooting of unarmed teen Michael Brown, Ferguson leaders and the police are trying to patch up things. The junk food media left and went on to the next shiny coin. They left a mess of division and mistrust among the law and those they are supposed to protect.
Ferguson is the focal point of America's racial unrest. When former officer Darren Wilson got off, the city went into a full fledged riot. Businesses were damaged, people were injured and the law exhausted as much as they could.
CNN reports that Brown's shooting death at the hands of Officer Darren Wilson has thrust Ferguson into the center of a nationwide debate over police tactics and race relations. The Justice Department is expected to announce it won't charge Wilson for the shooting, but it's also expected to outline findings that allege a pattern of discriminatory tactics used by the Ferguson police.
If they don't agree to review and revise those tactics, sources say, the Justice Department would sue to force changes in the department.
Asked to comment, Ferguson police Chief Thomas Jackson told CNN's Sara Sidner, "I have received nothing new.
Things aren't getting better in America.
"Everything they suggested in the past has been reasonable and we have tried to comply."
Among the issues expected to be part of the Justice Department's lawsuit are allegations made in a recent lawsuit filed by a group of low-income people who claimed officers in Ferguson and nearby Jennings targeted minorities with minor traffic infractions and then jailed them when they couldn't pay fines.
The Justice Department action would ask for court supervision of changes at the Ferguson Police Department to improve how police deal with the minority communities they are supposed to protect.
Holder hinted at plans to announce the outcome of the dual investigations during an appearance at the National Press Club on Tuesday.
"I think everybody will see when we announce our results that the process that we have engaged in is, as I said back at the time when I went to Ferguson, independent, thorough and based on all the facts," he said. "And I am confident that people will be satisfied with the results that will be announced."
Still a simpleton, Giuliani continues to dig himself even further in the shit.
It's kind of funny this agitator has the audacity to claim that he's getting death threats for his unpatriotic and down right stupid comments. Mr. 9/11 goes to the junk food media for soft interviews defending his outrageous comments about President Barack Obama.
Rudy Giuliani is a simpleton. He's legacy is based on racial profiling and adultery. He also brought himself to fame being America's mayor in the wake of the terrorist attack in 2001.
Nevertheless, the former mayor shares his disgust for not only the president, but Attorney General Eric Holder and current mayor Bill de Blasio. During the Eric Garner stranglehold, Giuliani and many other agitators claim that Garner's health was the reason to why he died and not the stranglehold placed on his neck.
To make it worse, Giuliani continued his rant and claims that Obama's hatred for America is due to White people. Mr. 9/11 claims that Obama hatred for White people inspires his disdain for America.
The racist right rehashing Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers again in their continuous war against the president.
The former mayor isn't shying away from this nonsense. He's knee deep in the shit.
By the way, his press secretary for his media firm claim that he's gotten death threats after this controversy ensued.
Piss poor Rudy..... If you're going to say such treasonous things about our president, maybe you may get a dose of the hate.
Stupidity continues to plague the Republican Party.
Geraldo Rivera is more destructive to Black and Latino youths
The mustached ambulance chaser is notorious for being a trash talking agitator. From his days in syndication to his gig on Loserville. The most annoying talk show host since that annoying conservative agitator, Geraldo Rivera has decided to go after the hip-hop community.
Understanding that hip-hop music may contain explicit lyrics. The lyrics are assured for adults. I don't understand why O'Loofus, that annoying conservative agitator, that old fart King Hippo and this mustached ambulance chaser concerned about the children?
Or is this another attempt to smear the president. Or maybe Jay-Z and Beyonce? Or maybe Common?
After all John Legend and Common are nominated for an Oscar for best motion picture song.
Anyway, this controversy brewed when Geraldo appeared on Loserville to talk trash about young minorities who listening to Lil' Wayne, Drake, Gucci Mane, Future, 2 Chainz and even Eminem.
He talks to Huff Post Live and went off claiming that hip-hop music done more harm to Blacks and Latinos then racism alone.
Rivera said he believes that “hip-hop has done more damage to black and brown people than racism in the last ten years.”
And it’s not just hip-hop, it’s fashion, because he challenged people to find “a Puerto Rican from the South Bronx or a black kid from Harlem who has succeeded in life… walking around with his pants around his ass and with visible tattoos.”
To keep the courts off his back for owed child support, Shad Moss (aka Bow Wow) is joining CSI: Cyber.
The writers for CSI: Cyber found a place for the nearly washed up rapper Bow Wow (aka Shad Moss). He and Patricia Arquette are going to be featured on this program. I guess the Cash Money bid is history. He was patiently waiting on that album release. It didn't happen. He bounced.
Also with Viacom canceling 106 & Park on BET, it's pretty much a wrap for the one time pop idol.
The FBI's team of cyber crime investigators, headed by Special Agent Avery Ryan (Patricia Arquette), works to solve cases involving the darknet and deep web. Avery, an esteemed Ph.D. cyber-psychologist, is in charge of the Cyber Crime Division at Quantico, Virginia.
The team she leads, which also includes Senior Special Agent Elijah Mundo, is tasked with solving Internet-related murders, cyber-theft, hacking, sex offenses and blackmail.
Back in 1998, Bow Wow released his debut album Beware of Dog on So So Def Recordings.
Bow Wow plays a character called Brody Nelson. Nelson is an FBI special agent. He is a former hacking savant who is trying to keep his hands out of the dark net to become a successful agent at the FBI's cyber crime division.
This is a midseason replacement for the cancellation of Stalker. CBS has put the ax on The Millers, The McCarthys and Stalker.
Are you going to watch CSI?
CSI is the goldmine for the CBS network. Most of the spin-offs have done reasonably well.
Last time they were upset he didn't say terrorism.
I fear no man, woman, machine or beast. I fear failure and rejection more than a foreign terrorist.
Terrorism is terrorism. There's no label to it. There's nothing more that could be said about it. A terrorist wants to invoke fear and paranoia. They want the junk food media to legitimize their efforts to exploit their criminal acts.
The conservative media is outraged (as usual) over the president for some perceived reason. The president is taking criticism over not saying the words "radical Islam".
The latest outrage deals with the conference addressing extremism. The White House is trying to determine the primary causes to why some are becoming terrorists. It's not about what religion this person holds it's about the actions that are performed in the suspicion of a criminal act.
The United States isn't at war with Islam. It's at war with terrorism (ahem).
Look, here's the honest opinion of this. In war, there's no good or bad guys. There's no evil and righteous. All it is...is basically conflict. Conflict that kills people. People die. War doesn't produce winners, it creates a whole lot of dead bodies and a lot of post traumatic stress.
The arm chair agitators think that President Barack Obama refuses to acknowledge radical Islam as the cause for extremism. Of course, ignoring the extremism from White and Black radicals, the racist right obviously are trying to give the terrorists a reason to hate the U.S.
The United States is unapologetic in its killing of human beings. The country has the most gun violence in the world. We still define rape as "a bunch of dumb girls getting drunk" and "god's will".
We sale more guns in the United States. Congress refused to pass a comprehensive gun control law that prevents the mentally insane and potential terrorists from obtaining firearms. It was going to preserve the freedom of bearing arms but eliminate stupid owners from selling their firearms to some nut job.
We had mass murders this year alone. There were incidents in Las Vegas where a woman who got into a road rage incident gunned down after it was revealed that she may have instigated the fight by stalking the suspected shooter with her armed son. More on this story later.
In Monroeville, PA, a man shot at a shoppers at a mall. The Pittsburgh area was shocked that a teen was shooting at mall goers over an apparent dispute. A teen was arrested in this incident.
The Islamic State is the junk food media's boogeyman. The extremists are fighting in Syria and Iraq.
The battle is over there, not here in the United States. We are being told constantly to be vigilant. We are told to report suspicious activity. We already have initiated counter measures to prevent individuals from blowing up soft targets. So why are the agitators and Republicans still playing on the fear card?
Didn't the president order the Navy SEALS to take Osama bin Laden out?
Didn't the president shake up the Islamic State and al Qaeda with drone strikes and CIA-hits?
I mean if a terrorist shakes up the daily routine of Americans, it's obviously going to be an event where the rejected (aka NICE GUY) snaps. The rejected will carry out a mass murder in an area where people are unaware of the situation.
DO NOT FEAR THE UNKNOWN. BE BOLD! BE COURAGEOUS! DON'T ALLOW THE JUNK FOOD MEDIA TO SPOOK US INTO ANOTHER WAR OVER A FIGHT WE HAVE NO BUSINESS IN.
The failed presidential candidate from the 2008 Republican primaries comes out swing his wig at the president. Mr. 9/11 himself, Rudy Giuliani comes out saying that President Barack Obama hates America.
In fact, he doesn't love America. A common theme among the racist right when it comes to their crazed obsession with the president.
For someone who advocated police brutality, profiling of Muslim residents and dressing in drag, Mr. 9/11 is trying his hardest to garnish attention. Long faded from the spotlight, this agitator emerges out of the cesspool to claim the most ridiculous things about the president.
Speaking at a rally for potential clown Scott Walker, the former New York mayor made the remarks at a gathering of donors who support this narrative that the president hates America.
“I do not believe, and I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America,” Giuliani said during the dinner at the 21 Club, a former Prohibition-era speakeasy in midtown Manhattan. “He doesn’t love you. And he doesn’t love me. He wasn’t brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up through love of this country.”
With Walker sitting just a few seats away, Giuliani continued by saying that “with all our flaws we’re the most exceptional country in the world. I’m looking for a presidential candidate who can express that, do that and carry it out.”
The roots of his radical outrage. Diensh D'Souza gets on the internet and talks ignorant.
And the convicted felon writer and conservative agitator Dinesh D'Souza compares President Barack Obama to what now!
The junk food media and of course the agitators of the racist right will not give this man a break. The president goes to social media to push his final two year agenda. Vox and Buzzfeed got an opportunity to interview the president.
The agitators are pissed that he's avoiding them and heading to a bunch of nerds sitting in their underwear blogging about stupid stuff.
D'Souza went to the social media to vent off about the president. Of course some brought up pending time in federal time out for fraud. See D'Souza committed a federal felony and he's going to get some time out. And he

Aw, shit! I kind of wished he would have exercised his freedom of speech to say that his imprisonment is going to ruin his reputation.
Despite all this agitation, he's getting ready to serve his eight month bid. Hopefully, he'll learn how the federal time out isn't a country club. Hope they lock his ass up for 23 hours with no access to communication. But that's too harsh.
