Chris Brown's Journey To Washed Up Celebrity Status!

If you're trying your best at being a famed R&B/rapper/pop star, what on earth is this young man doing?

Is Chris Brown trying to be the famed pop star?

Nah. He's trying to be the bad boy of music!

Nearly three years ago, Chris Brown assaulted his former girlfriend, now pop rival Rihanna. He was sentenced to community service and anger management therapy.

This didn't work for him. Seeing he's a borderline felon, he and rapper Drake get into a heated argument in which bottle flew across a New York nightclub injuring models and NBA star Tony Parker.

Brown, Drake (Aubrey Graham) and rapper Meek Mill denies ever starting the fight that lead to mulitple injuries. It's almost a shame that hip-hop music is marred with controversy. Besides the sexism, violence, drug themes, homophobia, and reckless spending by these entertainers, many of the suburban youth are buying into it.

Brown is at the verge of being look upon as a washed up celebrity. Although he still maintains himself as a successful musician and entertainer, the 6'3" entertainer enters his 23rd birthday being a blonde version of washed up celebrity Sisqo of Dru Hill.

The Huffington Post's gossip and Mediaite's Gossip Cop acknowledges a tattoo on the neck of the entertainer. Many feel that it's a picture of Rihanna. Brown's representatives deny this. But the talk of the nation is what's the entertainer plans are now since the MTV Music Awards. See the photo of the kiss. Rihanna not only gets her butt grabbed by newcomer rapper A$AP Rocky but now the kiss from Brown.


 Songstress Rihanna locked lips with hotheaded ex Chris Brown after her performance at Thursday night's Video Music Awards, prompting speculation rumors about their rekindled romance.
A big one on his former girl. Chris Brown and Rihanna are marred with controversy.
The tat, which the "Don't Wake Me Up" singer debuted on Sept. 1, features a line-drawing of a woman's face half-embellished by flora and fauna-esque things. The whole thing looks more like "Avatar" than RiRi, to be honest, but we guess if we squint our eyes reeaaally hard, love can be found in a hopeless place. Or something like that. For the record: Brown's rep told GossipCop that his new ink “is not Rihanna.”

Rihanna is born Robin Fentry. She is a Barbados born entertainer who rose to fame as signed artist on Def Jam to release her debut album Music Of The Sun. So far five albums and world tours made her one the top sellers of the year.

Rihanna contributes her success as not only a famed pop singer, but an R & B and reggae singer. She is also marred with controversy over her appearances and her reckless behavior.


The pair embraced and went in for a quick lip smack as Rihanna, 24, left the stage at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, after accepting the award for Video of the Year for her song “We Found Love.”


Footage verifying the lip lock prompted speculation there is truth to rumors about the couple’s rekindled romance, despite Brown’s relationship with model Karreuche Tran.

Rihanna called Brown, “the love of her life” in an emotional interview with Oprah Winfrey revealed last month.

“We love each other and we probably always will, and that’s not anything that we’re going to try to change,” she said.



11 In September!

The world changed on September 11, 2001.

The country's worst tragedy. September 11, 2001. Of course, we'll never forget.

Tuesday September 11, 2001 a clear day. Four airliners crash into the World Trade Center, The Pentagon and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The United States was caught off guard by men who hijacked planes and managed to cause one of the world's most deadliest attacks on soil.

September 11, 2001 was the day that George W. Bush was thrust into a war against a foreign terrorist organization that many barely known. Bill Clinton had dealt with this organization during the first attack at the World Trade Center, the Kenya and Tanzania embassy bombing, USS Cole, the attacks on American citizens in Saudi Arabia.

The organization al-Qaeda claimed responsibility for this mission in which apparently over a dozen individuals left their families and decided to join a conservative Sunni fundamental Islamic extremist group for a suicide mission.

Al-Qaeda was led by a Saudi Arabian man who was an heir to successful construction company. This gentleman, aided by an Egyptian doctor/activist, and a Kuwaiti engineer managed to plot a mass attack on the United States.

Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed were the backers of terrorist attack.

They saw lapses at American airports. They found that an opportunity was born when the United States lets their guard down after an election.

This tragedy brought together America.

When George W. Bush took office, many were fuming at the Supreme Court decision that allowed Florida's electoral votes go to him and the popular vote go to Al Gore, the Vice President of the United States at the time. The Texas governor's brother was John Ellis Bush (Jeb), and he was then governor of Florida at the time. Some questioned that tactics by Katherine Harris, then secretary of state and later congresswoman purging Black and Hispanic voters off the rolls. Voter irregularities and shady tactics at the polling booths.

Between all the partisan bickering and finger pointing our nation came to grips with a tragedy. Over 3,000 lives were lost that day alone. Counting the numerous injuries and property damages in New York, Washington D.C. and the rural countryside of Pennsylvania.

Bush led the nation into an endless war in Afghanistan and a now finished war in Iraq. At the time Fox News led the way to help the Bush Administration get its message out that Saddam Hussein was the bad guy and Osama bin Laden was harboring terrorism here and abroad.

When Barack Obama ran for president, he promised that he wouldn't rest until the leaders of al-Qaeda were captured or killed. His political rivals thought he was naive and foolish at the time. They were wrong.

After a landslide election, Barack Obama was elected to be president. As the successor of George W. Bush, Barack Obama inherited two wars, an economic crisis and congressional gridlock.

Osama bin Laden was killed in May 2011.
President Barack Obama managed to end the war in Iraq and is on the verge of ending the war in Afghanistan. The president is still trying to get a stubborn Congress to pass legislation that could spark growth in the economy.

And of course, the president kept his promise. May 2011, the president announced to the world that the leader of al-Qaeda was killed by the United States Military Special Operatives in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

President Barack Obama has been really aggressive on disrupting al-Qaeda and its affiliates.

The president's political foes in the Republican Party wish Osama bin Laden was still alive. They refuse to credit the president for giving the orders to take out the world's most wanted terrorist

The Republicans could never take responsibility for a tragedy. They'll blame the Democrats for every domestic or international incident whenever there's a Republican president.

George W. Bush ignored the Richard Clarke warnings. He ignored the Clinton memos. He wanted to chart his own goals.

Republicans claim that if it wasn't for Bill Clinton, the 9/11 attacks would of never happened. They claim that if it wasn't for George W. Bush, Osama bin Laden would of never been taken out. If it wasn't for the Democratic leaders of Louisiana, Hurricane Katrina's impact would of never destroyed New Orleans. If it wasn't for the Democrats and Barack Obama, we would of never had such a terrible economy. George W. Bush could never do anything wrong!

I have to admit that every year this will be a theme among the political leaders. They'll spent a few moments with families of the 9/11 victims.

CNN is the first news organization in the world to report of an airliner crashing into the World Trade Center in New York. This led to the 9/11 attacks. Carol Lin can claim credit for interrupting a Dietech commercial with the words:
"This just in. You are looking at obviously a very disturbing live shot there. That is the World Trade Center, and we have unconfirmed reports this morning that a plane has crashed into one of the towers of the World Trade Center. CNN Center right now is just beginning to work on this story, obviously calling our sources and trying to figure out exactly what happened, but clearly something relatively devastating happening this morning there on the south end of the island of Manhattan. That is once again, a picture of one of the towers of the World Trade Center."


Rush Limbaugh: End Of Days If They Elect Obama!

The end of days if they lose! Conservatives are expressing panic! They fear the Romney/Ryan Ticket is going to lose to the Obama/Biden ticket. President Barack Obama is leading in national polls after weeks of being in practically a tie.
Now you know how desperate the conservative media is, right? If you're not aware of this, then you're out of the loop. Fox News, The Drudge Report, The Daily Caller, The Blaze, Breitbart News, conservative talk radio, and the politicos around Washington are getting the feeling that their sworn enemy Barack Obama is winning the battle for the White House.

Listen to how they're predicting the end of days if they reelect Barack Obama for president. The Republicans and their conservative allies are anxious about the state of this election. The state of Ohio is leaning towards the president and Mitt Romney's campaign is starting to panic.

The Democratic Party outraised the Republican Party for the first time in three months. The post convention bump is doing President Barack Obama well.

The big voice on the right has finally snapped. He's really fearing the end of days if the American public reelects the president.

Justified outrage is aimed at Mitt Romney. Earlier this year, Rush Limbaugh declared that Mitt Romney isn't a conservative. He stated that Romney's endorsement of healthcare reform and his stance on social issues like abortion has sealed his deal as a lackluster candidate.

Romney declared that he's a "seriously conservative" candidate. Rush Limbaugh was frustrated with Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, and Rick Perry. He felt that their attacks on Rick Santorum, Michele Bachmann and Herman Cain were giveaway to President Barack Obama.

Limbaugh kind of admits that the 2012 Republicans candidates were weak! He knew each of them had serious flaws. Limbaugh would rather have one of them than the president, though.

He didn't endorse the candidates for the 2012 Republican primaries.

Now that the president's getting his groove back, the conservatives are trying to rehash Ronald Reagan again! They're trying to compare this to failed Democratic candidates, former president Jimmy Carter, Michael Dukakis and Walter Mondale as an excuse to undermine the president's rise in the national polls.

Not since John F. Kennedy, has a candidate from Massachusetts ever won the presidency.

Dead Beat Congressman Knocks Sandra Fluke!

Rep. Joe Walsh in a file photo speaking in Washington, D.C. in May 2012.
Congressman Joe Walsh (R-Illinois) makes light of the Sandra Fluke controversy. He knocks her for making an appearance at the Democratic National Convention.

Congressman Joe Walsh (R-Illinois) never ceases to amaze me. He and a portion of the Republican House members are so far in the extreme, they don't even care who they attack. They're not concerned about the repercussions of their harsh words. They are welcomed with open arms with groups such as the John Birch Society, the National Rifle Association, The Heritage Foundation, Brotherhood Of A New Destiny (BOND), VDare and Family Research Council.

The Republicans are knee toed to radical extremists. They dog whistle the angry White male who is likely to cause a mass shooting in a town somewhere. And of course, Walsh, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota), Congressman Todd Akin (R-Missouri), Congressman Allen West (R-Florida), Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and even vice presidential nominee Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) pander to the most asinine human beings to ever exist in this country.

Women's rights activist Sandra Fluke
Sandra Fluke, the featured speaker at the Democratic National Convention is once again a target of conservative ire. The Tea Party endorsed candidate for reelection is trying to win a seat that's competitive.

Republicans are trying to eliminate the negativity.

Congresswoman Bachmann, Congressman West and of course Congressman Walsh are going to be written off based on how the redistricting kind of put them in heavier Democratic districts.

Fluke was attacked by Rush Limbaugh, Monica Crowley and Bill O'Reilly based on her advocacy for birth control being paid by private companies.

Fluke is engaged to her boyfriend and is a legal assistance attorney.

Walsh is a first term Congressman who won in 2010. Marred with controversy, Walsh has said themes that come off as extreme. He recently settled his legal woes with his former wife and mother of his children. He was ordered to pay $110,000 in child support. Also Citizens for Responsible and Ethics in Washington (CREW) calls Walsh one of the most corrupt politicians to be elected to office.

Walsh speaks at a gathering in Addison, Illinois. He knocks Fluke for being an "entittled" 31 years old college student. He told her to "get a job" and "stop taking from those hardworking Americans!"

This buffoon criticized Black voters for their overwhelming support for President Barack Obama over former governor and perennial candidate Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee.



A Little Bounce In His Step!

The bounce is here. An owner of a Florida pizzeria gives President Barack Obama a lift!

President Barack Obama got a good bump in the Gallup Poll.

As predicted the president managed to get above the watermark of 50% in his job approval. The conservatives are trying to rehash the Ronald Reagan legacy yet again to undermine the president's rise in the polls. The Drudge Report and The Gateway Pundit, are bitter about Mitt Romney not getting the bounce after his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention.

This race is a toss up and leans likely for President Obama. The pollsters are conceding that Mitt Romney's speech in which he forgotten to mention the ongoing war in Afghanistan and his inability to lay out a proper economic plan didn't do him any good. The Republican nominee's running mate Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) hasn't done any better. He works his self into a pretzel over his failed legislation and his role in defense cuts that he's denying he's voted for.

Mitt Romney goes on Meet The Press and practically put his big foot in his mouth once again when the host David Gregory asked him about his policies.

This post convention bump will fall back soon. The high gasoline prices, the unemployment numbers and of course the return of the U.S. Congress will hit the president where it hurts! The voters matter!

The debates will begin in October.

As of today by electoral college standings, President Barack Obama 247 and Mitt Romney 191.

If President Barack Obama wins Ohio or Florida, it's over! The president laid out groundwork for an election victory in which he can lose Ohio and Florida and yet still win.

The state I reside in is Ohio. The state is a most important of all elections. This state can make or break a candidate. The incumbents Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush both lost the state of Ohio.

They were elected to be the president when they carried Ohio, but went on to lost the state in their reelection  bid. Therefore they've lost the election.

The most present day presidents.

Jimmy Carter beats incumbent Gerald Ford in 1976 with 297 over 240 (Carter carried Florida and Ohio).

Ronald Reagan beats incumbent Jimmy Carter in 1980 with 489 over 49 (Reagan carried Florida and Ohio).

Ronald Reagan won reelection against Walter Mondale in 1984 with 525 over 13 (Reagan carried Florida and Ohio).

George H.W. Bush beats Michael Dukakis in 1988 with 426 over 111 (Bush carried Florida and Ohio).

Bill Clinton beats George H.W. Bush in 1992 with 370 over 168 (Clinton lost Florida but carried Ohio).

Bill Clinton won reelection against Bob Dole in 1996 with 379 over 159 (Clinton carried Florida and Ohio).

George W. Bush beats Al Gore in 2000 with 271 over 266 (Bush carried Florida and Ohio)*.

George W. Bush won reelection over John Kerry in 2004 with 286 over 251 (Bush carried Florida and Ohio).

Barack Obama beats John McCain in 2008 with 365 over 173 (Obama carried Florida and Ohio).

Before I go, I want to share an opportunity to explain why Mitt Romney can't win. For starters, this guy can't deliver a message that reasons with the American people. David Gregory gave Mitt Romney the softball interview on Meet The Press and yet this guy couldn't even answer a simple question without throwing a word salad together with a side of Obama name drops.

So [Conservatives] Are Mad That Snoop Dogg Endorsed Barack Obama?

Snoop Dogg endorses Barack Obama. Took on the name Snoop Lion for a new album.
Snoop Dogg, the world famous rapper and advocate for the legalization of marijuana, has endorsed President Barack Obama for reelection. Reinventing himself as the reggae singer Snoop Lion, the entertainer has been in the crosshairs of conservative ire. The rapper has a long history of arrest records for possession of his "sticky icky" and disorderly conduct. In 1994, he managed to beat a murder rap. After releasing two successful albums, Snoop left the controversial rap label Death Row Records in 1998.

Death Row Records was the home of Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Tha Dogg Pound, Lady Of Rage, and a newly freed Tupac Shakur. The rap label was founded by Dr. Dre and Marion "Suge" Knight. The label dissolved in 2010 after Knight failed to pay for its past debts. Big Suge has been feuding with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg for years. He felt that Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg sold out when Death Row was at its peak of success.

The Drudge Report has worked itself into a frenzy when the rapper stated his interest in Barack Obama being the choice for fixing the struggling economy.

Where was Matt Drudge when the rapper endorsed Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas)?

Last year, the rapper was in favor of the Republican congressman and perennial candidate for president.

Congressman Paul's controversial stances including deregulating to marijuana and cocaine laws and mandatory pull out of U.S. military from the war in Afghanistan, and repealing laws that could hurt the middle and lower class.

While in Canada, the endorsement was made, the controversy ensued.



"[Former President George W.] Bush fucked up for eight years so you at least gotta give (Obama) eight years. He cleaned up half the shit in four years realistically,' the rapper said on Friday.

'It ain't like you gave him a clean house. Y'all gave him a house with a TV that didn't work, the toilet was stuffed up; everything was wrong with the house.'

Americans "need to give Obama four more years," Snoop added during a press conference at the Toronto International Film Festival, where he premiered a documentary on his turn to reggae under the moniker Snoop Lion.

"Then he went and knocked down the most hated, most wanted, the one who had our terror alert on Orange or Red, whatever color it was on," Snoop said. "He went and found him, the one that Bush couldn't seem to find, that seemed to fly away the day of 9/11. Remember all that? He went and found him and knocked him down, so don't forget about that. Now everybody is peaceful and able to move and have a good time -- it's because he made that happen."

Like most Americans, it seems, Snoop has evidently been paying attention to the Democratic National Convention. "You heard what Clinton said. You loved Clinton, didn't you?" he said. "Give [Obama] four more years to get his thang together and finish his deal out."

Snoop Dogg aged 40, who appeared in an all-white outfit with a white rastacap over his long hair, was asked numerous times whether he would continue to play his rap songs in the wake of his transformation. "One thing about me as a performer, I understand the business," he said. "A lot of my fans want Snoop Dogg, and I'm gonna give it to them. I can give you a little bit of both, or I can give you one or the other -- it depends on what the people want. And whatever the people want, I'm gonna give it to em, up close and personal."

He also cleared away any confusion over whether he will continue to use the name Snoop Dogg or switch entirely to Snoop Lion, the moniker imprinted on his name tag during the press event. "I'm Snoop motherfuckin' Dogg till the day I die, but at the same time when I'm making my reggae music I'm in the light of the Lion. But if you disrespect me or get out of pocket, you will get the motherfucking dog."


Drudge be lion, dogg!

The Drudge Report post stories that paint President Barack Obama and the Black community in a negative light.
The race-baiting gay conservative agitator is strongly in favor of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. The conservative agitator's website The Drudge Report zeroed in on the rap legend's endorsement of Barack Obama for president. He knows that Romney isn't going to win any of the Black vote. So in order to rile up people who think Snoop Dogg is a "natural born criminal" and President Barack Obama is a "racist", Drudge put this on his website.

The conservatives want to rile up White voters who have bigoted views towards race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, political and economic standings.

Besides Snoop Dogg, many other entertainers endorse the president.

Jay-Z, Chris Rock, Madonna, Kerry Washington, Eva Longoria, Kanye West, Scarlett Johannson, Denzel Washington, and Samuel L. Jackson been in the crosshairs of conservative ire for endorsing the president.

Dr. Dre Tops Forbes Richest Rappers!


 Rappers Dr. Dre (L) and Snoop Dogg may be together on stage, but the Dr. is the only one on the Forbes’ annual list of Cash Kings — not that Snoop is hurting for green.
Mighty D.R.E. Is Still Beating The Boards And Packing In The Millions. Rapper/producer Dr. Dre is Forbes Magazine's richest rappers. His estimated earnings top over $110 million in 2011. Beats By Dre are the successful headphones from the rapper. He attended the 2012 Coachella Festival with Snoop Dogg. Big Snoop is releasing a reggae album under the moniker Snoop Lion.
We're still waiting on the comeback of Andre Young, 47, professionally known as Dr. Dre. The famed album producer and original gangsta has crafted the works of Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent and newcomer Kendrick Lamar.

Andre Romelle Young (born February 18, 1965), is an American rapper, record producer, record executive, entrepreneur, bodybuilder and occasional actor. He is the founder and current CEO of Aftermath Entertainment and a former co-owner and artist of Death Row Records.

The Mighty Mighty D.R.E. is the world's richest rapper. He beats out media mogul/rapper Jay-Z, Kanye West, Sean "Puffy" Combs, Lil' Wayne and Eminem.

The good doctor hasn't released an album since his masterpiece [Chronic] 2001 in 1999.

Dr. Dre was working on the long awaited Detox album. The album is slated for release in 2013. The album was scrapped this year after numerous tracks failed to bring mainstream buzz. The first single "Kush" with Akon and Snoop Dogg was released last year. The second single was a leftover from Eminem but it was released. "I Need A Doctor" was released a few weeks later. He decided to focus on Eminem, Kendrick Lamar and 50 Cent's album releases.

The Beats By Dre headphones are a factor to the riches. Besides the royalties and the rap label Aftermath Entertainment, Dr. Dre is a self-made man.

Dre began his career in music as a member of the World Class Wreckin' Cru and he later found fame with the influential gangsta rap group N.W.A with Eazy-E, Ice Cube, MC Ren, and DJ Yella which popularized the use of explicit lyrics in rap to detail the violence of street life which lead to the controversial albums Straight Outta Compton and Niggaz4Life.

Dr. Dre is credited to the success of Eminem (right) and 50 Cent (center).
Since the days of co-founding the gangsta rap label Death Row with former business partner Marion "Suge" Knight, Dre had released the classic Tha Chronic. The mix of g-funk, weed smokin', soul friendly and truly gangsta classics.

He produced Snoop Dogg's debut album Doggystyle, produced the hit single "California Love" off Tupac Shakur's All Eyez On Me and made notable contributions to Tha Dogg Pound.

Dr. Dre has made enemies in his time reaching the top.

The feud with Suge Knight is an ongoing saga. Dr. Dre has sued the media mogul for royalties of the albums he produced and played a role in having his old label shut down. Dre left Death Row in 1994 after the label got involved with the Bloods street gang. Even Tupac Shakur released singles targeting Dre for selling out.

Dr. Dre got involved in the conflicts with Atlanta producer/rapper Jermaine Dupri. Dupri declared his production skills was bigger than Dr. Dre and Timbaland. Dre, Eminem and West Coast rapper Xzibit sent Dupri numerous responses about his "obsession with little boys!" They ended the feud in 2001.

When Dr. Dre signed 50 Cent to the label, he and Eminem were engaged in a feud with Murder, Inc. Records and their main act Ja Rule. Ja Rule claims that 50 Cent's rise to fame was a sham. Ja Rule warned Eminem and Dr. Dre not to side with 50 Cent in this feud. This lead to a major feud which elevated to near violence. Ja Rule allied with The Source Magazine co-owner rapper Raymond Scott (known as Benzino) in a public boycott campaign of 50 Cent and Eminem. Dr. Dre's longtime mentor Jimmy Iovine decided to pull advertising from the magazine and move revenue to The Source's rival magazine XXL.

Dr. Dre has engaged in a minor conflict with 50 Cent. When 50 Cent decided to ditch Beats By Dre to jump onto Sleek Audio for his own headphones, he made Dr. Dre angry. The rapper threaten to leave after the conflict and Dr. Dre's lack of attention on his follow up albums. The conflict was resolved and Dr. Dre will produce a fraction of 50 Cent's album which is slated for Winter 2013.

Dre has produced albums for Jay-Z, Game, Nas, Ice Cube, Eve, Gwen Stefani, T.I., Rick Ross, half-brother Warren G, Nate Dogg, Lil' Wayne, Mary J. Blige, The D.O.C., Busta Rhymes, Raekwon, Slimm Tha Mobster, Xzibit, and Obie Trice.

The World's Richest Rappers
  • Dr. Dre (Aftermath Entertainment)
  • Sean "Puffy" Combs (Diddy) (Bad Boy Records)
  • Jay-Z (Roc-A-Fella Records/Roc Nation)
  • Kanye West (Roc-A-Fella Records)

  • 50 Cent (Shady Records/Aftermath Entertainment)
  • Drake (Cash Money Records)

  • Ludacris (Disturbing Tha Peace/Def Jam Records)

Most of these entertainers comes from Universal Music Group. The home of Def Jam, Motown, and Interscope Records.

* UPDATE: The Drudge Report is making light of Snoop Dogg's endorsement of Barack Obama. Again the race baiting gay conservative agitator is trying to find reasons to dog whistle white voters. Mitt Romney and his campaign are desperate. They're in the process of throwing everything including the kitchen sink at President Barack Obama. I will cover the Snoop Dogg (Snoop Lion) endorsement of Barack Obama in the next day!
