Ice Cube Rips Young Haters In The Industry: “I Ain’t Scared Of No N*^^@”

Don’t hate, just do your thing to see if he can be knocked off the block is basically the talk from Ice Cube’s way.  Honestly, Ice Cube can’t be knocked off because he is grounded and rooted in the rap game as well as getting ends off of the movie game.  There are some that do believe that Ice Cube needs to step aside because they consider him played and too old for the industry now.

Ice Cube
On that note, this is what Ice Cube has to say back to those who, as he calls it from his blog, “disrespects” him.  Trust that he didn’t hold his tongue.  Look out for I Am The West, his next album due for drop in July.

What’s up with these local MC’s in L.A. who keep disrespecting me? They’re just mad cause I don’t f*ck with they wack-*ss. They ain’t on my level, why should I waste my time. I don’t even remember ever meeting these clowns or even being in the same room with any of ‘em. They can’t make a name for themselves so they need help from the O/G’s. I refuse the throw’em a life line. F*ck’em. It ain’t my job to make nobody famous. And for the record, I ain’t scared of no n*^ga. Especially, no rappers….seriously people.

Age-ism in rap? Age-ism is everywhere folks. In the work place, in sports and of course in hip-hop. We are a out with the OLD in with the NEW world. But as we go through life we realize NEWER ain’t always better. We find ourselves saying, “Back in the day, bah, bah, bah….” All young MC’s should route for old MC’s to have long careers. If you play us out, what kind of future do you have in hip-hop when you get 40?

Advice for young rappers: You gotta be hot on your block first, then your city, then your state, then your country, then the world. If you can’t make your block notice you. The world is a tall task.

True that. True that.

Jesse James’ Mistress A Nazi Poser (Photos)

What the heck has Jesse James gotten himself into?  Turns out that sleeping with Sandra Bullock’s husband isn’t all Michelle McGee does for a living but she poses as a Nazi.  SMH.  Jesse sure can choose nazogood jump-offs.  Here is the photo from TMZ where you can see more photos.

Full out swastika and all.  Michelle “Bombshell” McGee is even reported to have a W and P on her legs, according to TMZ, that more than likely stand for “white power”.  SMH.  I know this is Tiger Woods’ lucky week as he is probably thinking someone just took my spot for down and dirty.

Sade Shoots Down A Colab With Drake

Well, it looks like Sade is remaining Sade which means she isn’t changing her style of music for anyone, including Drake.

Drake & Sade

Drake made it known that he wants to colab with Sade, a woman who has been around and stayed around and on top of the music game, even while things have changed.  This is obviously something that Drake adores about her music, but unfortunately, he won’t get the chance to work with her as Sade doesn’t move away from her type of groove.

Drake remains hopeful, especially after his next drop called Thank Me Later.  Don’t get this thing twisted though.  It wasn’t a diss on Drake, but more of a personal safety thing when it comes to the Sade sound that Sade is protecting.

Whitney Houston Talks Alicia Keys Colab & Criticizes Today’s Artists As “Characters” (Video)

Whitney Houston has come back on the scene and is as brutally honest as she can be in the interview below.  The best thing about the interview is the Whitney Houston is right.  After speaking about the Alicia Keys colab with  Million Dollar Bill, Whitney Houston expresses her own thoughts on the industry and music, how things have changed and the way singers are being more like characters instead of displaying their true talent. She even goes into calling some of the stuff soft porn and very dark.

Watch the interview.

Now, in the video, Whitney Houston didn’t drop any names, but I will for her.  Costume heaven goes to Lady Gaga.  Yes, sis has a talent, but the weird get ups…yes…this is possibly one that Whitney Houston was talking about.  Also, Rihanna and her talent went way dark everything, so that’s another talent that goes strip for the camera when she really doesn’t have to do so.  There are more, but just two of the biggest stars stand out right now.

If you watched the video closely, when Whitney Houston shrugged her shoulders after saying that “it’s not becoming at all”.  That shrug translated in diva terms means - yeah, I said it and it’s the truth…AND.  Whitney made it look good though!
