1Reebok drops Rick Ross Over Rape Lyric

 

 

“Put Molly [Ecstasy] all in the champagne.  She ain’t even know it.  I took her home and I enjoy that.  She ain’t even know it.” 

Reebok tells TMZ … “Reebok holds our partners to a high standard, and we expect them to live up to the values of our brand.  Unfortunately, Rick Ross has failed to do so.”

Reebok goes on:  “While we do not believe that Rick Ross condones sexual assault, we are very disappointed he has yet to display an understanding of the seriousness of this issue or an appropriate level of remorse.”

2Miguel and Kendrick Lamar Cover “Big List” Vibe

 

Westcoast connection!!!!  Kendrick Lamar and Miguel cover the April/May 20th anniversary issue of Vibe Magazine. Check out excerpts from their interview below.

 

On which artist puts them on their toes and to go harder:

KL: “My partner J. Cole is always keeping it to the point where you have to show and prove. My partner Drake kills it.”

Miguel: “What’s F*cked up about R&B is that that camaraderie doesn’t exist. I don’t really know why.”

When asked about the biggest risk they’ve taken artistically:

Miguel: “Overall it doesn’t sound like any other R&B album that’s been put out in the past decade…I remember having a conversation with Mark, my A&R like, “Man, I don’t know if they’re going to get this shit.””

KL: “The idea of a concept record has been lost for a long time – will that translate to 16-year-old kids in high school rather than the super energetic joint on the radio? I definitely had that in the back of my mind when I was creating this album.”

On Frank Ocean’s announcement:

Miguel: “In all reality, Frank Ocean took a big chance the way that artists are supposed to. Sonically and how he writes and what he’s writing about and how he chooses to express himself vocally, all his choices are very unique and I appreciate that about him. Not only did his announcement overshadow my music, but it overshadowed his as well.”

When asked if there was anything they didn’t get to do that they have in mind for next go-round?

KL: “I never got a chance to reach out to him (Nas). I was so wrapped up in getting the music done and samples cleared and mastered. I didn’t wanna rush the process; I actually wanted to sit in the studio and vibe with him. [It was] the only thing that I had a vision for that I sought out to accomplish, but in due time…”

On Their Impressions of Each Others Music
Miguel on Kendrick: I just like that it’s an honest perspective. Sometimes you listen to MCs and you’re like, This sh-t sounds cool, the verse and the cadence or whatever, but when you look at the artist, it just doesn’t translate. I don’t get that from Kendrick. Younger artists, we’re all striving to be ourselves. He’s one of the best examples of that.

6Diddy Tops Forbes Wealthiest Hip Hop Artists

 

 

Diddy tops Forbes Wealthiest Hip Hop Artist List  once again for the second year in a row mainly thanks to his Ciroc venture.

 

Here’s what Diddy had to say when he sat down with Jimmel Kimmel about his kids

“I moved out here! My son goes to UCLA, all my kids live out here now. I have six kids. Clap for my six kids and I would like for you to clap for me because I pay for all of their tuition. My oldest son [Quincy] works for my network, Revolt, and he’s an aspiring singer. My son below him, Justin, he is at UCLA red-shirted, so hopefully this year he will hit the field. And then I have a son, Christian, who is 14 and three girls who are 6, long story.”

“To be honest, I work very hard for my kids to enjoy a great life and I make no apologies for being able to provide them with experiences that I’ve worked hard to experience. For me, I’ve just started to grow up and it’s been a little late. When you grow up in entertainment and you’re not working on or not really following any rules, once you have kids, [that changes.] I think for me, it was having girls because the boys could fall down the stairs and everything is going to be alright but the girls, it’s like a whole different line of questioning and focus. It really just makes you face reality. It’s just been great for me”

2. Jay-Z – $475 million

3. Dr. Dre – $350 million

4. Birdman – $150 million

0Beyonce Partners with H&M for the Summer

“Beyoncé as Mrs Carter in H&M”.  The shoot took place in the Bahamas earlier this year. Perhaps around the time of Blue Ivy’s birthday.

Beyonce says

“I’ve always liked H&M’s focus on fun affordable fashion. I really loved the concept we collaborated on to explore the different emotions of women represented by the four elements – fire, water, earth and wind,” said Knowles. “It was a beautiful shoot on a tropical island. It felt more like making a video than a commercial.

 

 

0Nicki Minaj’s ELLE April Magazine Cover

American Idol judge  and rapper Nicki Minaj graces the cover of  ELLE.  She opens up about making the final decision to down play her look instead of looking like a cartoon character. As we reported a few weeks ago Nicki fired her entire style team

“When I saw myself with barely any makeup [on], it was such a… like, I’m so, so attached to my pink lipstick, it’s hard. I feel that it’s become a part of me…It was scary! So this photo shoot was a real accomplishment in my eyes.”

1Nicki Minaj Fires Entire Style to Team

 

 

Roman wants to be taken more seriously in the hiphop and business and has decided looking like Marge Simpson probably isn’t the best look.

 

A source revealed: ‘Nicki is desperate to be taken seriously as an artist.

‘She’s fired her long-standing hairdresser who has been responsible for some of her crazy hairstyles over the years. She’s also fired her stylist.

‘Nicki feels that now she’s done with American Idol she can finally be taken seriously and release a proper hip-hop album,’ the insider added to The Sun.

 

 

It’s very important that I’m not just slapping my name on something. It’s important that my fans are going to know that if Nicki is putting it in her line, then Nicki is going to be wearing it. That’s why on Shopyourway.com we are creating catalogs, and I get to see what my fans like, and say ‘Hey I like that too.’ Right now it’s very real time, it’s very personable.

 

I want to create looks like these [dresses]. I have been doing a lot of dresses lately, and I feel more confident when I wear dresses. It doesn’t have to be super over the top sexy. Some of the dresses that I have been doing lately have been completely covered like sweater dresses and my fans have really responded to it. My fans are like ‘Hey Nicki, we want the crazy leggings’ and stuff like that but we also want to have things that we can wear whether we are going to work or whatever. I’m really focused on the dresses! I’ve been feeling so romantic and sexy lately.Nicki is a brand new person stepping into this year, and we love it!

Nicki Minaj has launched a rather sophisticated line at Kmart.

She tweeted afterwards: ‘I truly thank the press n barbz for cmng out today. It means the world. #TheNickiMinaj collection @ Kmart… soon!!!’

 

Adding later: ‘Europe & everywhere else will be able to order online. I’m going to introduce a few pieces on the website very soon to get your thoughts!’
