On a cold and rainy Saturday morning, rubyhornet.com’s EIC, Alexander Fruchter, sat down for coffee with The Rza. The two discussed Rza’s new movie, “The Man With The Iron Fist” and how his years with Wu-Tang prepared him for his directorial debut.
RudeBoy (@SSE_Rude) – Do My Thing (Video)
Real talk: it’s difficult to avoid the infectious sound of RudeBoy in you happen to be in the D.C. area. Definitely interesting to see what he has to offer on upcoming projects. The above track is produced by Shelomon “Shai” Graves.
Ne-Yo (@NeYoCompound) Performs On @TheEllenShow
Above, Ne-Yo performs his platinum R&B sellout hit ‘Let Me Love You’ on The Ellen Show.
Ne-Yo is really trying to push his new sound to the masses, though possibly with some setback; his new album R.E.D. is project to sell about 60,000 copies in its first week, which is about half as Libra Scale. Another theory is possible: that the idiot decided to name is album R.E.D., which obviously holds similarites to The Game’s The R.E.D. Album and current competitor Taylor Swift’s Red, which has already sold well over a million copies in two weeks.

K. Michelle (@KMichelle) Spazzes On Twitter Follower In The Crowd During Concert
When keeping it real goes wrong. During a concert, an attendee decided to badmouth K. Michelle on Twitter while she was performing. K. Michelle, who apparently isn’t big enough to overlook it, took her phone out during the performance and to single out and address the fan. Interesting day for both parties I’d imagine.
Listen up. It’s a motha f–kin’ ratchet queen in here talking s–t to me on Twitter.[…]I don’t care how much money I make [or] how much money I get, I still don’t do no disrespect. I’ll snatch off my heels and take off my lacefront and whoop yo’ azz. So, if you gonna talk s–t Mr. [Twitter name] with that wack a– side cut you got going on, you come down in my face I swear to god[…]that’s just who the f–k I am.[…]I don’t play that bulls–t. I super don’t play that bulls–t. So wherever your punk azz is in the corner, bring your azz out here. I don’t do that, okay. I continue to have fun with everybody I love, but I don’t f–k with ratchet queens.
