@AmberRose Say "@ChrisBrown GF Not Making Him Happy"

Well this might explain why Ms. Rose decided it was a good idea to back that a** up on Breezy. May be she was trying to cheer him up.

HollywoodLife is reporting that the model doesn’t think Karrueche is a good match for Brown:

“Amber is, “not trying to come between Chris and Karrueche. That’s not her business,” but she still wants to make it clear to Chris that he should “snap out of the misery that Karrueche has put him through.” Ouch!

Plus, Amber is skeptical of the fellow model.

“Amber thinks Karrueche is conniving. She feels Karrueche puts added pressures on Chris and demands too much of his time,” reveals the insider.

As HollywoodLife.com previously reported, Breezy and Amber got quite cozy at an L.A. nightclub on Dec. 19.

The model and the singer were seen grinding on each other, while Karrueche was disgusted after seeing a video, which showed Amber twerking on Chris.

Perhaps this is Amber’s way of cheering Chris up?

After all, Amber “thinks Karrueche could do more to help Chris in his time of need,” adds our source.

“She wants to lend her ear to him. She knows deep down he’s going through stuff and is in pain and seeing as how she cares abut him, she doesn’t want to see him hurt,” explains the insider.

“Their vibe and connection is great and Amber does want to develop that friendship further. But as far as being with him, only time will tell,” an EXCLUSIVE source tells us. “

Don’t you think you should get your own household in order first before trying to wreck someone else’s….?

@WizKhalifa Didn't Drop His Sextape ! WHY?

Hip-Hop Rumors: Wiz Didn’t Drop Sextape Because Of What?

A couple of weeks back rumors were flying that Wiz Khalifa and porn star Carla Howe had a sextuple floating around and it would soon be released.

A few days later the rumors were put to rest when Wiz refused to sign off on the deal, but according to Perez Hilton the was reasoning behind the decision:

“Wiz’s performance in the tape wasn’t great and that’s the main thing which had him against putting the tape out. The low porn offer was down to his performance, and I guarantee he will be trying to release something in the future.”

The source also confirms that it was Carla who axed the tape’s release, because she can do so much better (partner-wise and money-wise).”

@YG Get Put On Blast By GF

Khloe Kardashian has finally shed some light into her on again, off again relationship with artist French Montana, who she began dating shortly after her split from estranged husband Lamar Odom. 

According to Khloe, “It’s nothing against French. I just think I don’t want a boyfriend,” she explained. “I jumped into something because I was just, like, lonely and destructive. But now I’m like, I just want to be alone.”

After admitting that the “Don’t Panic” rapper was highly entertaining, she also revealed that some of his behavior was a bit more harder for her to handle.  She shared, “There’s highs and lows in every relationship…. I have no idea why French calls me 5,000 times a day.”

@Beyonce Spends Time With @JayZ On His 45th Bday



JAY Z CELEBRATES HIS 45TH BIRTHDAY WITH BEYONCÉ IN ICELAND


In honor of Jay Z’s 45th birthday earlier this month, BeyoncĂ© and Jay Z traveled to Iceland for a celebration in the snow. Mr. and Mrs. Carter bared the freezing temps, but still looked like they were having a blast in the wintery wonderland.

Donning orange ski suits, they rode snowmobiles through the arctic tundra and honored Mike Brown by posing for a photo with their hands up. The couple took a helicopter ride (we see you, Blue), sipped champagne in the snow, and warmed up with a swim in the hot springs (check out a bikini-clad Bey throwing up the Roc).

Bey was all smiles as she rolled around in the white powder, and presented her hubby with a cake during an intimate dinner.

The Carters are currently in Phuket, Thailand for the holidays.

Berkeley,MO Officer Shoots A 18 Y.O

A police officer in Berkeley, Mo. fatally shot a black man who reportedly pointed a gun at him last night, authorities say. 

According to the Associated Press, St. Louis County Police Department spokesman Sgt. Brian Schellman said the officer was checking on a gas station in the St. Louis suburb just after 11 p.m. when he was approached by two men. When one of them allegedly brandished a handgun, the officer opened fire, killing him. 

In his statement, Schellman said the other man fled, noting that police recovered the weapon. While police declined to release the victim's name, a woman who identified herself to the media as Toni Martin said he was her 18-year-old son, Antonio Martin. Martin told NBC News that her son had only gone out to see his girlfriend: 

He only just left the house to go see his girlfriend. Maybe he started to run and they got shooting, she said, adding that she did not think her son was carrying a gun. Toni Martin — who said her son's girlfriend had told her about the shooting and brought her to the scene — told reporters Antonio had turned 18 in September and used to attend nearby Jennings High School.

Pharrell Made Only $2,700 In Songwriter Royalties From 43 Million Plays Of 'Happy' On Pandora

Pharrell is sad about his royalties.

This past year was great for singer Pharrell Williams. His song "Happy" secured him Grammy nominations for Best Music Video and Best Pop Solo Performance.

Despite Pharrell's ubiquity, "Happy" made $2,700 in publisher and songwriter royalties from 43 million Pandora streams in the first quarter of 2014, according to an email from music publisher Sony/ATV CEO Marty Bandier obtained by Digital Music News.

In the letter, Bandier said a million streams of a song on Pandora yields roughly just $60 in royalties. “This is a totally unacceptable situation and one that cannot be allowed to continue,” Bandier wrote.

Fusion's Rob Wile points out that these numbers aren't all inclusive and don't include performance rights royalty rates, so Pharrell likely earned more than the paltry $2,700 figure.

"According to industry analyst Michael DeGusta, Pharrell would likely have earned approximately $25,000 from the 43 million plays," Wile says. 

Bandier added: "We at Sony/ATV want these digital music services to be successful because they are a great way for music fans to listen to music and have the potential to generate significant new revenues for everyone. However, this success should not come at the expense of songwriters whose songs are essential for these services to exist and thrive." 

Pandora is the most used streaming service, which paints an ugly picture for artists looking to make a living off of their craft. Taylor Swift recently spoke out about how little artists make from streaming, claiming that services like Spotify don't value her art. Swiftpulled her entire catalog from Spotifyin protest.

Given how little he's making, it comes as no surprise that Pharrell is among a group of artists demanding that YouTube take down thousands of songs it doesn't have permission to share. If YouTube doesn't remove the 20,000 songs, a legal group called Global Music Rights — which represents artists including Pharrell, the Eagles, John Lennon, and Smokey Robinson — says it will bring a $1 billion lawsuit against Google, YouTube's parent company.

Who Failed @BobbySmurda? XXL Story



My friend Sowmya Krishnamurthy interviewed Bobby over the summer for theVillage Voice and asked him about his past. His answer was interesting and truthful.

You mention selling crack since the 5th grade on “Hot N*gga.” What does selling crack mean to a 10-year-old? I was watching Nickelodeon at that age.

That’s the thing. I was never chilling with kids my age. I was chilling with older kids. In school, I was always bad. I was either in the suspension room or with the deans and them and they was talking to me all day. I was one of those kids. When I leave school, I was hanging with the older dudes. I was hard-headed. A lot of people tried to tell me to stay out of it but I wanted to do it myself. It was fun money. Like, I could go buy $100 of weed, shoes, without asking nobody.

You were smoking weed at 10 yshe could and it simply wasn’t enough. Then I want to talk to the OG’s (Older Gods, Original Gangsters, Etc) in the East Flatbush area that reared Bobby into the man he is today. The way Bobby was allegedly moving shows there were huge gaps in communication acommon knowledge. Perhaps, Ice-T could have schooled him, because Ice always has awesome advice for getting out of the game when a rap career takes charge.

Lastly, I think about the music industry.

Sha Money XL, an executive,  is somebody I consider a friend. He was present when the arrest occurred and subsequently released. He’s also a guy – a long running industry dude – I know to be professional, reasonable...and he cares. It just wasn’t enough. The police are here. The DA is here. The media is on this like ants at a picnic. I feel for Bobby, because I believe we are seeing his rap career careening into an abyss.

Blah. Maybe he just failed himself, but I don’t subscribe to that.

Generally, Black boys grow up without any sort of older figure to help them navigate through the trials of life. A parent doesn’t constitute a mentor.  Bobby needed guidance. He grew up misguided, possibly aimless.  There are Bobby Shmurda’s all over the nation and they need constant coaching. A moment can change your life. That moment is now. The authorities are fiending to make yet another example of Bobby Shmurda.

Part of me is mad at Bobby. I was quietly rooting for him. I was interviewed by Sowmya for medium.com and I gave Bobby a good shot at success in our chat (most of which didn’t make the edit). At some point, you just want to see people find a way to change their lives. Those choices and options are limited for a certain segment of the population, a fact lost in convoluted rhetoric about the so-called American Dream.

I wanted him to win, because he deserves to get his piece of the American Apple Pie like ever other race, creed and color. This is America, ain’t it?

Like it or not, admit it or not, the odds are stacked against the Bobby Shmurda’s of the world.

I only hope we can get to them before they are all lost in the system, only to morph into completely non-productive hood automatons. There is something special about Bobby Shmurda.  Beyonce, Drake and even I enjoyed his silly “Shmoney dance.” Now, “The rest is up to God,” as his mother said to reporters in the hours after he was arrested.

The beginning, however – before the arrests and the weed and the guns – that is up to us.

He is us.


The odds were stacked against Bobby Shmurda from the very beginning.

Bobby, real name Ackquille Jean Pollard, is a 20-year-old man that faces a myriad of serious charges after he was arrested earlier this week. Last week, Bobby was on his way. He had one of the biggest songs of 2014, got signed by Epic Records, was recording for his upcoming album in New York. Somehow, the world became Bobby’s oyster and then he lost it. When the police descended upon the young rapper and 15 of his cohorts, the authorities had lined up a litany of charges against them – gang-related shootings, drug trafficking and even murder. Bobby was charged specifically with conspiracy, reckless endangerment, criminal possession of a weapon and criminally using drug paraphernalia. The infractions are serious, but they were not the beginning.

At an early age, his mother moved Bobby and his older brother to East Flatbush Brooklyn after his father was incarcerated. He would spend 15 months in a detention center and caught gun-related cases before “Hot Nigga” swept the nation. When Bobby was coming up, East Flatbush was about 91% Black or African American (U.S. Census Bureau). The population of the area was working class immigrants coming from various isnds like his mother and father, who are Jamaican and Trinidadian.

Jay Z And Russell Simmons Press N.Y. Governor Cuomo About Criminal Justice System Reform

ay Z and Russell Simmons are used to things going their way; this time, they’re hoping history is on their side. The pair of moguls met with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo Wednesday (Dec. 10) to discuss changes to the criminal justice system in New York in light of Eric Garner’s murder and the subsequent non-indictment for the police officer who killed him.
While a Cuomo aid was non-committal on the substantive points of the meeting, Simmons suggested that Cuomo pledged to have special prosecutors handle cases where police brutality is alleged.
Cuomo, the former New York State Attorney General and the Secretary Of Housing And Urban Development under President Clinton, will seek to pass a sweeping set of criminal justice reforms in 2015.

@Lil'Wayne Wants To Leave @CashMoney

Lil Wayne’s days with Cash Money are numbered. Following his shocking tweets earlier in the week, the rapper addressed his fallout with the label during a live appearance.

On Thursday, Weezy tweeted that he wants out of his deal, and that his album Tha Carter V won’t be released because Birdman and Cash Money refuse to put it out.

I want off this label and nothing to do with these people but unfortunately it ain't that easy

— Lil Wayne WEEZY F (@LilTunechi) December 4, 2014

But it looks like Weezy will soon be parting ways with Cash Money.

“It’s a fucked up situation, but I will be out of it soon, and I do it for ya’ll,” he said while performing at Vice’s 20th anniversary party in Brooklyn on Friday (via Lil Wayne HQ).

Just a day ago, his manager Cortez Bryant acted like everything was fine.

“We good,” he told TMZ. “I’m smiling. I wouldn’t be out at the club right now.”

He later tweeted, “Sarcasm at an all time high.”
.....

Sarcasm at an all time high

It’s unclear what Wayne’s next moves are, but the door is open at G.O.O.D. Music. Pusha T has invited him to join Kanye West’s label.
