A Lot of People are Very Unhappy with the XXL Freshmen Spread

I don't even want to comment on the new XXL Freshmen Cover but apparently upcoming rapper Azealia Banks is upset with the upcoming rapper Iggy Azalea's face being on the cover of the magazine and she took to Twitter to vent about it.
“Iggy Azalea on the XXL freshman list is all wrong,” remarked Banks on Twitter. “How can you endorse a white woman who called herself a ‘runaway slave master’?”

Of course Azalea responded not tweeting anyone in particular
“You can’t block my blessings! Today I’m celebrating! Get with it or kick rocks!” she tweeted. “First female freshman. Ever. Period. Thanks world! I used to stick XXL on my bedroom door, now I’m on the cover. Life is great.”
Azalea is anti-Nicki Minaj and isn't afraid to admit it claiming that we've all seen the boobs, the hair and the ass "What else can she do". It got really interesting when Kreyshawn put her two cents in the argument stating:
“You’re a dumb bitch. And you can’t rap. I’ll sit on your face. … Fall back slut,”
Azalea is the first woman MC on the XXL Freshman Spread. She shares this year's spread with the likes of Roscoe Dash,Future, Kid Ink and anyone else that was ready and willing to share the cover.  So much foolery I can't take it. Who do you think should've been on this year's cover?

Press Play: "Sex Tape"


I don't know much about Kanary Diamonds besides the fact that she seems like a sweet heart (I recently tweeted that I loved her music; didn't mention her or anything but she found it and retweeted it).

Rapper the Dream Weighs in On Chris Brown & Rihanna Collab & Forgiveness



Rapper and producer the Dream weighed in about Rihanna's "Cake" Remix and reunion with ex boyfriend Chris Brown. He also talked about how the world needs a little more forgiveness?
“It was Rih’s idea. Not only do we work together, but [Rihanna] is a friend of mine. I don’t know how she got the logistics and how it happened — maybe she’ll talk about it one day. I showed up at the studio, and it was like, ‘All right, cool, let’s finish this record.’”

“For me, it’s just music. Two talented people doing a record together, doing two records together, and that’s what it was. It wasn’t about an incident that happened. The true thing really is to forgive, and… you want to believe in people.”

“I think [the topic] that should be more on the tongues is: how do we proclaim to be a nation of forgiving, and we go by all of these rules and everything, but we can’t actually do it? It actually makes you look weaker than your adversary — if you don’t have the power to forgive, but you lie and say that you did.

“Because this is about her,” he continued. “If she can forgive, that’s where she is mentally. As a friend, it’s like, ‘Okay, cool. Let’s roll.’”

Word: Rihanna's Label Does Not Support Her "Birthday Cake" Remix


Word?: If you're a part of the population that pays for music and you actually wanted to buy Rihanna's "Birthday Cake" remix on iTunes you may be waiting for quite some time. Rumor has it that Rihanna's label Def Jam does not support the track and her decision to release the song even though they insisted she did not.Sources say Rihanna released the single against the label's wishes to prove a point. I was going to buy the song though it is very hawt track. Just too bad the label is afraid of controversy. I respect her "IDGF" attitude. What do you think?

Rewind: "My Baby"

Rewind: Today venturing around Youtube I kept getting a commercial promoting "Fred" the TV series & I couldn't help but to think of my childhood. These kids are getting duped. 90s Nick was awesome. One show in particular that I really loved was the Romeo Show. He was actually the first concert I ever attended. I also got his autograph when I was little and I've held on to it for like ever. So without further or due here is Lil Romeo's "My Baby" for all those like me who can recall this song from their childhood. He grew up to be a fine looking specimen I must say.

I just want to hear the finished version. Rihanna is currently rumored to be readying up a seventh studio album release.  She’s a hard working lady. Happy 24th birthday Rihanna.

Miranda Lambert & Chris Brown are Still at It




The controversial but always talented entertainer Chris Brown recently took to Twitter to address country star Miranda Lambert. Lambert was videotaped at a concert holding a sign reading “Take Notes Chris Brown”. Brown seemed to Kanye shrug it off before tweeting, “Using my name to get publicity? I love it! Perform your heart out!”  and “Go buy @miranda_lambert album! So motivational and ‘PERFECT’!”

The entertainer is currently working on his remix to “Turn up the Music” and is rumored to be featured on his ex-girlfriend’s newest single “Birthday Cake”. Speaking of cake today is her birthday and Brown recently tweeted her birthday wishes and earned himself a retweet from her. I guess all is well in Rihanna land.

Tyga Carless World Pushed Back Again?




While everyone is enjoying their weekend, my place of work doesn’t believe in accepting President’s Day as a holiday. So I’m at work hardly working as usual. The top story on my random list of celebrity news is Rack City related (I actually do make a list every day).

Rapper Tyga’s “Carless World: Rise of the Last King” was supposed to finally hit shelves tomorrow. That is no longer the case. The album was recalled and retailers were told to send all copies back to the label due to the use of an unauthorized Martin Luther King sample on the very first track. Seems like this kid can’t catch a break. The actual album is said to be available in two weeks now, rapper Tyga tends to think otherwise and tweeted that it will be available tomorrow.  Will you be snagging the album? I’m definitely going to buy it. I love to support my favorite artists and actually go out and buy the album.

Teyana Taylor Clears Up Rumors that She Leaked Her Own Photos

Sometime between yesterday and today naked pictures of Teyana Taylor leaked upon her Twitter page. Today she has taken it upon herself to address the issue via an open letter to her fans:

Look I’m human, & just like every girl in this world, I admire my body so i take pics just like EVERY other human being. However my phone that was stolen Witch my phone was also connected to my twitter. So i guess the hacker felt the need to have a field day and leaked personal photos, and also tweet mean & hurtful things about me.

I ain’t gone front It really hurt my feelings that someone would be so evil and mean. I would never leak photos like that of my self. I have so many blessings and opportunities ahead of me & I have way more class & respect for my self as a young woman. So there’s no need to seek attention. But I sincerely apologize to all my supporters and followers who had to witness the devil at work, and at what he does best. Karma is a $&@# but I’ll let God handle that. that’s it that’s all.

Teyana Taylor is very hurt but not even is going to stop her from making her music. Taylor's new single "DUI" features rappers Fabulous and Jadakiss. The track is lifted from her new EP "The Misunderstandings of Teyana Taylor", which is due for release on the 29th.
