J. Cole Rocks Zink Magazine’s April Issue

J. Cole rocks the April 2013 issue of Zink magazine. He gets dapper in a suit and tie, and also poses in a black leather vest and jacket in a couple of his snapshots.

A little over a week ago, the Roc Nation rapper dropped the accompanying visuals to his Miguel-assisted “Power Trip” – which may have surprised fans with the ending, when it comes out that he’d murdered Miguel. In an interview with MTV News, he revealed that his team was a little hesitant about casting the singer as a victim in the clip – and after no one else pitched the idea to Miguel, he decided to ask him himself. He said:

A week goes by, and I’m like, ‘What’s up with Miguel? I haven’t heard nothing back, we’re tryna move on the video, get the location, get the dates,’ and everybody’s real hesitant, like, ‘Oh we haven’t gotten a chance to pitch it to him,’ and I finally realize what’s happening … nobody has the balls to go to Miguel and tell him.” At this point, Cole figured he had to take matters into his own hands if anything was going to be accomplished, so he called Miguel.

I was really hype explaining it to him, and after I tell him the concept I say, ‘I want you to be the boyfriend, getting murdered,’ and he was just like ‘It’s crazy you say that because right as you were telling me the story, [I] thought I should be the boyfriend, I should be the one getting killed.’ So he was down for it, but it just took me to have that creative conversation with him.

BUSTED: Big Sean SNAPPED Partying With A CLIQUE Of STRIPPERS

As G.O.O.D. Music rapper Big Sean puts the final touches on his sophomore disc, Hall Of Fame, he was busted blowing off some steam at a private party with a "Clique" of strippers.

Since his "Dance (A$$)" track became an anthem for many ladies who work the pole, it's not surprising that Big Sean would enjoy a lap dance every now and then.  But since he just went public with his relationship with "Glee" star Naya Rivera, we just thought he'd curb his behavior...a little. Or at least be smart enough to not let your homies Instagram the ish.

In the pic, which was snapped at a private party and posted on Instagram yesterday, he seems to be indulging in skripper behavior with his hands are all over the stripper's genitalia.

It doesn't mean he's cheating though...it could just be a case of boys beings boys.

The Real Rick Ross Addresses Rapper Rick Ross' Date Rape Lyrics

Rapper Rick Ross created quite the controversy when his date rape lyrics caused him to lose his Reebok deal. Many wondered what Rick Ross was thinking when he put out that verse, but I know things sometimes happen.

Now, in an effort to save his name, the real Freeway Rick Ross has commented on the issue and says the rapper Rick Ross is dragging his name through the mud.

You can check out the real Freeway Rick Ross' statement about the rapper Rick Ross' date rape lyrics when you click on that "Read below:

When we are young we make mistakes and some can be life altering. I made my mistakes, paid for it and have since lived my life to help the youth to not make those same mistakes I made. So while the real Freeway Ricky Ross is telling the youth not to sell drugs "the rapper Rick Ross" is glorifying it and reprogramming those young men and women I am trying to save.

It saddens me to listen to the lyrics to that "Date-Rape Song". I want everyone to know the real Freeway Ricky Ross doesn't rap or would never speak that way. "The Rapper" has taken my name and old lifestyle to make millions without any regards for anything he says that can hurt the positive I am trying to do in the community. This is the reason why I filed the lawsuit. To recover my name!

I'm stuck in a real life "CB4" situation and it really isn't funny to me. Rape is never a positive thing and on behalf of my name, I want to say "this whole situation saddens me".

So what do you guys think about this?

NOT AGAIN! VOGUE Netherlands Uses "Blackface" For CONTROVERSIAL Editorial

VOGUE Netherlands has joined the growing list of European publications putting non-Black models in blackface.   As the "blackface" craze continues, it's beginning to look like European fashion editors and photographers are under the assumption that the world is lacking beautiful BLACK models worthy of their editorials.  Or that there's no harm in painting non-black faces black for "creative" purposes.

We told you a while ago about French fashion magazine Numéro using a white model to pay tribute to African Queens and now, Vogue Netherlands has used a white model to pay tribute to Grace Jones and Josephine Baker!

In the editorial, which was intended to honor Marc Jacobs' 2008 and 2009 seasons (which took inspiration from Grace and Josephine), Vogue Netherlands painted model Querelle Jansen's face black and used wigs to mimic the texture of black hair.  This follows a long list of other fashion mags (Vogue Paris, L'Officiel Hommes, V) that have all used blackface in recent years.  We have to ask....were all the Black chicks booked for other gigs?

It's no wonder the winner of "The Face" , Devyn Abdullah, didn't want to be identified as "Black" since European mags don't seem to hire Black models....even when the editorial is tributing someone of African descent!

Should Black readers (around the world) be outraged at this outright refusal to use Black models?  Or do we just say anyone of any color should be able to portray black figures...in black face...

SPEAK ON IT!

Jay-Z Covers TIME Magazine’s 100 Most Influential!

Jay-Z covers one of TIME’s seven “100 Most Influential People in the World” issue.  Jay’s piece in the magazine was written by the Mayor of New York City, Michael Bloomberg.

Check out what the Mayor had to say:

Jay Z embodies so much of what makes New York New York. A kid from a tough neighborhood who grows up in public housing, overcomes lots of bad influences on the street, never lets go of his dream, makes it to the top — and then keeps going, pursuing new outlets for his creativity and ambition. When no one would sign him to a record contract, he created his own label and built a music empire — before going on to design clothing lines, open sports bars and, most recently, represent professional athletes. He’s an artist-entrepreneur who stands at the center of culture and commerce in 21st century America, and his influence stretches across races, religions and regions. He’s never forgotten his roots — “Empire State of Mind” was a love song to our city — and as a co-owner of the NBA Nets, he helped bring a major league sports team back to Brooklyn, not far from his old neighborhood. In nearly everything he’s tried, he’s found success. (He even put a ring on Beyoncé.) And in doing so, he’s proved that the American Dream is alive and well.

Gossip Game’s Ms.Drama Calls Cast Members Snakes, ‘I Am Queen & Will Be Respected’

Hands down, Candice “Ms.Drama” Williams, is making a name for herself on VH1’s latest reality show, ‘The Gossip Game’. Just into the third episode of the season, Ms. Drama, possibly staying true to her pen name, has been making a few enemies thus far. In an interesting twist, the Spelman alum’s recent blog for VH1 about the latest episode focuses on positivity, how she’s growing her brand, and the drama surrounding her cast mates. Peep the excerpts below.

The photo shoot in essence was my first test. I knew that going into the shoot there would likely be more people interested in seeing me fail then succeed, but if you never show up to take the test – then how can you expect to pass it and move forward?

Throughout this episode my focus and energy is on my business, my career and enhancing my brand. Yet, sadly there seems to be a constant shift towards the negativity – whether it’s from the girls or even El Racheto, who apparently can only use her words (however limited they are) when I am not around.

Nevertheless, I manage to press on through my photo shoot and into my revealing party where I naively invite snakes into my private affair. They slither in the back of me making faces; they squirm in the corner cackling at their lewd and offensive jokes, all this while I must play hostess to my special invited guests.

Fortunately, I can read between the lines, and I offer a thorough READING to those at the event who manage to slither in: “I am a Queen and I Shall Be Respected”.

Peep pics from her photo shoot below.

Gossip Game airs Monday nights on VH1 at 9 PM.

Lauryn Hill EVICTED For Not Paying Rent!

As she prepares for her sentencing next week for tax fraud, Lauryn's landlord is pissed she skipped out on paying rent last month. 

Lauryn's been renting a mansion in South Orange, NJ since 2009.  TMZ reports her landlord filed court documents demanding her to pay up or GET OUT!  Apparently, she didn't come off any dollars, so the lawsuit for eviction is a GO.  Right now, she's technically a squatter.

And if she gets sentenced to prison for tax fraud next week, she'll be moving out that house anyway and into the other big house.

Jason Derulo Strips Off For New Promo Shot

Jason Derulo has been working up a sweat in the gym and, with a new music on the horizon, seems keen to share the fruits of his labor. Case, point, this freshly unwrapped promo snap.

The revealing shot comes on the heels of the premiere of the 22-year-old’s latest single ‘The Other Side’ – which serves as the lead release from his third studio album (due later this year).

We imagine girlfriend Jordin Sparks has a lot to smile about.

Karrine Explains Relationship with Lil Wayne

Bad news for all of Lil Wayne's other bitches. Your relationship will always include Karrin Superhead Steffans...

Karrine writes on her Karrine and Co blog

People always ask me why I don't just leave him. He'll never be with me.

I'd never be with him. I'm married. He's everywhere.

He said this about me in that song and this song. Why am I still here?

Because no matter what we've done, no matter where we've been, no matter where we'll end up, we are connected by one thing and one thing only.

Unconditional love.

I depend on that love when someone breaks my heart. It is to him I run. And I know he depends on me and, when he does, I am there.

Never a question, never a denial.

I don't care where he's been and he cares nothing of where I was the second before I fall into his arms. I don't share in his world and he doesn't participate in mine. We create our own where only we live, love, and know.

And when I am broken into a million f**king pieces, it is he who makes me whole, who picks me up from the floor and reminds me he provides a greater love than that of any other man.

He never leaves me.

He never leaves me.

So, the world doesn't have to understand as long as I understand and he knows that there are no amount of miles, no amount of arguments, lovers, or lies that could make me turn my back on him or force him to walk away from me.

It's not easy.

It's not perfect.

It just is.

WHATEVER!

NFL Player Ray Lewis Covers Sports Illustrated Magazine

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis graces the cover of this weeks Sports Illustrated with the controversial headline “Does God Care Who Wins The Superbowl”.  I’m sure the title and cover alone is sure to spark controversy from the press, what do you think.

Miley Cyrus Covers March Cosmopolitan

Fierce, Bra-less and in love! Miley Cyrus talks about her music comeback and says she values her romance with husband Liam above all else.

Miley Cyrus “I’m just not a girlie girl”

Cosmo: Do you think they ever really did? When pictures from your personal life would leak, they presented a very different image than Hannah Montana.

Miley: Some of the worst things that have happened in my career, like things getting leaked, have actually been what’s best for me, because people knew when I was on that show that I was really growing up. I never faked anything. I never played the Disney game of smiling and being a princess and then suddenly having a hard time, saying, “That isn’t who I really am.”

Cosmo: You collaborate with many unexpected names on this record. Safe to say you have a new sound?

Miley: I wrote this song with Mary J. Blige, and Tyler the Creator heard it and said, “I am obsessed with this song, and I will guest on it if you promise me that you will keep it on the album.” And he killed it! I really didn’t want to make a hip-hop record, and I’m not trying at all to be a Rihanna or a Nicki [Minaj]….That’s not my vibe. When I was growing up, my older brother would sneak me Nelly CDs, my dad had me listening to Dolly [Parton] and Johnny [Cash], and my mom is a complete metal head. So this record is a weird mixture of all that.

Cosmo: Unlike a lot of musicians, you celebrate your competition.

Miley: Katy Perry’s been my friend for fucking five years, and I’m not ever gonna let our work get between that relationship. If Katy sticks with being Katy, and Ke$ha is Ke$ha, and Rihanna is Rihanna, and I’m me, there’s room for everybody. The problem is when people look at Gaga and say, “Oh, that works; I’m going to be like that.”

Cosmo: What are you listening to?

Miley: Frank Ocean’s record is so good. And I like that he came out and admitted he was gay, because that still affects people’s careers. If you don’t think it does, it fucking does, and he did not care. I think it’s going to make him even bigger.

Cosmo: Let’s talk about Liam. Do you ever have these moments when you’re still struck by how hot he is?

Miley: Yeah, all the time! I’ll literally look at him and be like “You are hot, dear god!” The other day, I turned on the pool heater and it was steaming, and he walked outside and took off his clothes and jumped in the pool. I was like, “I’m gonna faint–the hottest guy of my life is in a steaming pool. This looks like a Playgirl shoot.” So I took a photo and made it the background on my phone. My best friend grabbed my phone and was like, “Who’s that? He is so hot!” That’s my hubby!

MEETING OF THE DONS: Nas, Mark Zuckerberg & Billionaire Investor Ben Horowitz Have Dinner Together

Oh, to be a fly on THAT billion dollar wall.  Nasty Nas may be making some serious social media moves after pics surfaced from a random yet intriguing dinner last night with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg & MAJOR investor Ben Horowitz.

39-year-old "The Don" rapper Nas broke bread last night with a couple of the most powerful men in the tech game--28-year-old billionaire CEO Mark Zuckerberg (with his wife Priscilla) and 46-year-old hi-tech entrepreneur/billionaire venture capitalist Ben Horowitz.

And if you're wining and dining with billionaires, we can only assume (at least we HOPE) that at least one person was talking money at that table.

Pics surfaced on Instagram from a private dinner that took place last night with the interesting trio.  Details of their convo have yet to be released, but we do conclude it has something to do with Nas' involvement in Facebook, which Mark owns and Ben has invested in via his filthy rich firm Andreessen Horowitz.

Another random fact we've noticed, Ben has often referenced on his Twitter account his recent investment in the hip hop lyric decoder site Rap Genius.  He posted an article about how the sensemaking of internet information--i.e. rap lyrics (like the Rap Genius site)--is one of his firm's investment focuses.  Interestingly, Ben posted a pic with Nas at a Rap Genius function last July.  So the two are not total strangers.

Also, Ben already has a close relationship with Jay-Z & Steve Stoute.  So he's not a complete stranger to the hip hop world.

Will Nas be investing some dollars of his own into Facebook, Inc?  Is he cutting some type of major money making social media deal with the head honchos?  Or both?

Time will tell, but we're guessing Mr. Jones is gearing up to cash out on a deal either way...Nice.

Rick Ross Allegedly Crashes Into Building, After shots Reportedly Fired @ His Car

A Rolls-Royce crashed into a building on Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale early Monday. Police are on the scene of the accident, which also reportedly involved a shooting. Florida TV station, WSVN-Channel 7, is reporting that shots were fired at the Rolls in which a “famous rapper” was riding before the car went into the building. Reportedly, the ‘famous rapper’ is Rick Ross (real name William Leonard Roberts II). So what happened? The Miami Herald reports that

At around 5 a.m., several people in the neighborhood overheard shots fired, said Fort Lauderdale Detective DeAnna Garcia. Witnesses at the nearby Floridian diner said that South Florida rapper Rick Ross was in the car. The morning breakfast crowd at the Floridian ate their eggs near a shot-up window at the restaurant, with the bullet entering a cooler. Witnesses said about 15 shots were fired.

No one was injured in the shooting or crash, Garcia said. Police declined to say who was in the car. The rapper, according to reports, talked to investigators at the diner. Currently, Rick Ross’ camp has not released a statement confirming or denying his involvement. What we do know at this point is that Ricky partied in Atlanta over the weekend, in Atlanta, and Sunday night, partied at LIV night club, alongside his girlfriend (Shateria), French Montana, Diddy and a few other celebs. 

Rihanna Politely Cusses Out Paparazzi When Asked For Free Tickets

New York TOWER OF HATE: Bathrooms at World Trade Center are filled offensive slurs.

Welcome to the 1,776-foot tower of hate. Shocking Daily News photos show bathrooms throughout 1 World Trade Center rife with repugnant graffiti appalling scrawls that range from the N-word to sexist slurs and ethnic insults.

 “Whites only,” reads a Jim Crow-era taunt over the urinals in one bathroom of the 104-story building.

Other anonymous offenders target President Obama — who visited the construction site just last June: “Where’s Obama’s birth certificate!!!!”

Racist scrawl at W.T.C. bathroom reads," SAND N----" to insult people from the Middle East.

The soaring symbol of American resilience now bears the markings of lowlifes.

 “It’s filthy, it’s shocking,” said Marie-Anne Sanchez, 37, who was visiting from Paris with her fiancé. “This is a holy place. People died here. I don’t like this. It makes me sad.”

A worker at the site told The News it’s difficult to walk into 1 WTC, commonly known by its previous name, Freedom Tower.

 “We’re all supposed to be there as one, the whole 9/11 thing,” the worker said. “When you walk through the gate, you get a strong sense of pride.

One of the most offensive scrawl insults African-American women.

 “And then this is what you see. It’s so negative. It shouldn’t be on these walls.”

The plywood men’s rooms, spaced every five floors in the $3.8 billion building, bring racism and sexism to new heights — and lows.

Edgar Aguilar’s jaw literally dropped when a News reporter showed him photos of the filthy language.

This is crazy. Totally unacceptable,” said the 20-year-old from Ozone Park, Queens. “It’s disrespectful to the whole memorial. I can’t even believe this. So immature.”

The most vile comments are near the top of the gleaming structure that will have 15,000 window panels when it opens in 2014. There, the breathtaking view is tempered by the vile commentary, the insider told The News.

 “Most of it’s racial,” said the insider. “Most of it — I mean, there’s a lot of stuff with the N-word. But pretty much every race is covered: Spanish people, Irish people, Jewish people, women.”

The N-word, he added, “is written all over the place, to be honest with you. That’s a big deal. It’s there.”

Bathrooms at World Trade Center are filled offensive slurs. This one take insults President Obama.

One screed says that the Irish need to take baths.

The graffiti looms over the 16-acre site in lower Manhattan where more than 2,800 people of all colors and creeds died — victims of an attack directed at the heart of American ideals.

Politicians have never shied away from the symbolism of the building that has been under construction since 2006.

Alison Joyce for New York Daily News/for New York Daily News

 “The new World Trade Center is more than just a skyscraper,” said Gov. Cuomo, hailing the moment when the building surpassed the Empire State Building in height in April of last year. “It is a symbol of the enduring spirit of the city and state of New York, representing our commitment to rebuilding stronger than before.”

But the metaphors become much more unsettling given the craven messages out of public view.

Typically, workers at 1 WTC hail the job as the most significant of their careers.

 “I’ve been on many difficult and challenging projects, but this one transcends anything I could ever think of,” Steve Plate, the director of construction, said in December.

Graffiti at W.T.C. bathroom says, "NONE WHITE ONLY."

But behind the scenes, some workers treat the world’s most high profile work site as if it were a truck stop on Interstate 95.

While some effort is made to paint over the vitriol, neither Tishman Construction nor the Port Authority make it a priority, the insider said. And the racist writers are relentless.

The insider recalled a staircase where somebody wrote “Lame n----- be quiet.”

Racist scrawl at W.T.C. bathroom reads, " THEME: People who annoy you... N----RS."

Once it was painted over, the word “n-----” was quickly written three times in its place.

During his visit last June, Obama signed a steel beam with his own upbeat message: “We remember. We rebuild. We come back stronger!”

But his words were lost on some of the site’s 1,000 workers — especially in the leadup to last year’s presidential election.

On the 22nd floor, where the President and First Lady visited, someone had written, “Obama was here.”

Offensive racist and sexist slurs are scrawled all over World Trade Center bathrooms.

The message was altered to read, “Obama was s---.”

Scribbles in the building about female workers reflect a level of sexism unheard of in most developed nations. Filthy messages suggest they have no business on a construction site — unless they’re providing sexual favors for male colleagues.

 “Woman don’t belong in construction!” one sexist rant read. “Maybe painting, that’s it. Then who’s gonna (perform a sex act on) us?”

Marie-Anne Sanchez, from Paris, was outraged when she learned about the scrawls.

The anti-women remarks include graphic insults. A vulgar four-letter word for the female anatomy was written in orange spray paint on the 35th floor, the insider said.

But the graffiti isn’t limited to personal attacks inside the building that will soon be the tallest in the Western Hemisphere.

One twisted worker asked colleagues to supply their guesses for the age of Penn State pedophile Jerry Sandusky’s youngest victim. Several co-workers offered responses.

 “This is pretty bad stuff,” the insider said. “Some guys write things like ‘Pride’ and ‘God bless America.’ That’s 1% of what’s written. The other 99% is all negative s---.”

The nasty comments are usually scrawled with permanent black markers that are common at the construction site.

According to the insider, the subject of graffiti has been raised several times during weekly meetings with officials at Tishman Construction Corp.

Their response is tepid at best, the insider said.

 “They might come and paint the wall, and a week later it’s covered in graffiti again,” the insider said.

Of All People T.I. & Larry King Talk Gun Control

T.I. sat down with Larry King for “Larry King Now“ and wanted to share his opinion on the new proposed laws President Obama would like to put in place about gun control. 

T.I. shared his thought and views about gun control with King. He sent all his thoughts and prayers out for those who were victims in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, but he does not believe that banning firearms is the solution.  He believes that taking away guns will leave the citizens vulnerable to those who are willing to break the law.

Check out the full interview :

T.I. doesn’t think guns should be completely banned he does believe their needs to be a better process in purchasing guns. A mental exam should be part of the process and it should be evaluated each year.

White is definitely her color as the singer accessorized with silver sparkling jewels on her wrist and on her earrings. 

 

Great look for her.

"The Game" actor Carl Payne hit the carpet on his preppy tip.
