“Although we argued none of the rest of it is true. I definitely did not did not say I would not have gotten married if it wasn’t for Hennessy. I wasn’t kicked out, the party had been over and the footage of what I actually said is on youtube….†– Talib Kweli

Its time for joy and blessing, just stop with all the negative talk and energy….we all need to be more thankful†– DJ Eque
Nick Minaj Covers KING (March/April 2011)
King finally got the queen of hip-hop, as she will pose for the magazine’s March/April issue. An except from the issue below:
KING: History has shown that acting is the likeliest transition for rappers. Considering your background, do you want to dabble in Hollywood?
NICKI MINAJ: Of course.
What would be your dream role?
I’d like to play someone in a Tim Burton movie, where I get dressed up and painted and crazy.
You kind of do that now.
Then I want to be able to do some action stuff, like Angelina Jolie.
Like in Salt?
Yes! And then I’d like to just play a regular girl who, you know, is facing the world. Something really sentimental and organic, that girls all around the world can identify with. You know, how Jada Pinkett Smith did in Jason’s Lyric.
Classic film. You did mention earlier how everything has been time consuming. But when that time frees up, what kind of guy do you look for to be sentimental and organic with?
Um, I look for someone who is calm, someone who is strong enough to not have to win every argument, someone who allows a woman to be her crazy self and someone with a conscience not to feel less of a man. You know, someone who is able to honor his woman but also bring out the freak in his woman.
How should your Ken bring out the freak in you, Barbie?
Just being super aggressive when the time is right.
Are we talking about Mortal Kombat–style “Come here†aggression?
Just something that makes me feel like they’re in control, when we are behind closed doors.
Foxy Brown On Christmas Eve Absence
Foxy turned to her Twitter account explained why she was a no-show at a Christmas Eve party at Club Jelani in Brooklyn. It was was rumored that she was going to debut a Lil’ Kim diss record, “Christmas Eve Massacreâ€.

I’d like to personally apologize for the confusion and venue changing of the beautiful “Christmas In Brooklyn†party. Although the confusion fell far beyond my control, my responsibility and concern is to my fans and family; my priority. As I always say…the Devil’s at his busiest when ur about to get busy. My baby sis Wanda Fox, FOX Boyz, Ferrari, GT Nick, Sha, Britney Fox, Team FOX and all my die hard FOX fans… from my heart, I luv yall. Pray for ur girl. Something bigger’s going on. But GOD got me covered in his blood.
DMX Moved To Mental Health Unit
After he violated his probation a couple weeks ago he was sentence to a year in prision. December 20, it was reported he was moved Flamenco Mental Health Unit at Alhambra.
At his sentencing, Judge Christine Mulleneaux told him she believes he has “an undiagnosed mental condition,†possibly bi-polar disorder. DMX’s manager, Nakia Walker, wouldn’t comment specifically on whether DMX might have a mental disorder, but she says she wasn’t surprised when he was moved to a mental-health unit. The rapper himself always has refused to comment on speculation about his mental state.

Waka Flocka’s Mother’s Pink Friday Review
I can’t say I agree (I liked the album), but in no way can I be mad at Deb Antney’s opinion of Nicki’s first effort (spotted in VIBE):
It’s terrible. I like some stuff, but she went too left. I don’t think people were ready for her to come [out with pop]. When I had Nicki, I really wanted her to sing. That’s why I took her for training cause Nicki loves singing, but she kept saying to me, ‘Deb, I can’t do it yet because people won’t understand.’ And that’s why the [rap] mixture was done to introduce them to all of Nicki. I think [Pink Friday] was very disappointing to a lot of her fans. She didn’t need a lot of [the] features. That was one of the biggest things like… you gave people so many features, give them you now. Nicki could be so much better because—outside of anything that people say—she’s very multi-talented. I really wish that she would learn to be more of an artist.
I didn’t particularly care for [“Roman’s Revenge”], but when Eminem came in I liked it. He made the song. [Nicki] didn’t have to go there with [Lil’ Kim]. My views on that is that she came too far to go back that route. And Kim does not even have to go there. There are no comparisons to them. Some things are best left unsaid. The whole things is stupid. I’m very disappointed that she would go that route. ‘Cause I know all that she was taught. She don’t have to go there with anybody. That was the stuff we always discussed. People had to learn to love Nicki— that’s how the door opened up. It wasn’t about Kim or Foxy or any of the rest of them. So I was just a little disappointed [by her album], but If she likes it, I love itâ€.
G. Dep Confesses To Murder
From MTV News:
Former Bad Boy MC G. Dep admitted this week to fatally shooting a man nearly 20 years ago.
The New York Post reports that on Wednesday, the 36-year-old rapper, born Trevell Coleman, walked into the 25th precinct in Harlem and confessed to killing a man way back in 1993.
“I shot and killed someone 17 years ago,” he reportedly told an officer at the precinct.
Read more after the jump.
According to the Post report, Dep told police that he was riding a bike when he approached his victim, 32-year-old John Henkel, on Park Avenue and East 114th street near the James Weldon Johnson housing projects. Dep, just 18 years old at the time, was planning to rob Henkel, but when he resisted, shot him three times in the chest with a .40-caliber hand gun. He then fled from the crime scene and threw the gun into the East River. Henkel was pronounced dead at St. Luke’s hospital.
The crime took place in the 23rd precinct, so investigators from that station house were contacted. William Dunn, a detective at the 23rd precinct, reportedly reviewed the case, which had gone cold, and found that the rapper’s story went hand-in-hand with what was on file.
G. Dep was charged with murder for the 1993 shooting, and is being held without bail.
A police source, in an attempt to explain why Dep would suddenly confess to the crime, said “It was just eating away at him.”
“My client is presumed innocent, and the case is going to grand jury,” said G-Dep’s lawyer, Michael Alperstein.
G. Dep came to hip-hop’s attention in 1998 with a guest appearance on “The Mall,” from Gang Starr’s Moment of Truth LP. He signed to Diddy’s Bad Boy Records the same year, and released his debut LP, Child of the Ghetto, in 2001. Despite two well-regarded singles, “Let’s Get It” and “Special Delivery,” the album was heavily bootlegged and failed to move many units. He later split with Bad Boy Records, and in 2004 dropped a mixtape, The Deputy: The Sheriff Is Back in Town Volume 1. But since 2003, he’s racked up 25 arrests for crimes ranging from drugs to burglary to grand larceny.
Charles Hamilton Arrested For Assault…

Teddy Riley Responds To will.i.am’s Comments On Upcoming Michael Jackson’s Album
What will.i.am said:
“Whoever put it out and is profiting off of it, I want to see how cold they are, to say that what [Michael] contributed during his life wasn’t enough. He just wasn’t any ordinary artist. He was a hands-on person. To me it’s disrespectful. There’s no honoring. Michael Jackson songs are finished when Michael says they’re finished. Maybe if I never worked with him I wouldn’t have this perspective. He was very particular about how he wanted his vocals, the reverb he used…he was that hands-on.â€
