Jeezy & Clipse Cover Complex...

Clipse X Kaws cover Complex magazine (1 out of 3). If it looks familiar from you is because Kaws did the album artwork for Kanye West's 808's & Heartbeak. Yummy stuff.
And here's Young Jeezy X ESPO covering the second cover out of the 3. ESPO is somewhat the kingpin grafitti artist from Philly. This issue will hit stand October 6th. Might have to cop this one. =)

RANDOM GIGGLES!


This is soooooooooo hilarious! Affion Crockett made a spoof of Jay-Z's song "Run This Town". This guy is so on point with his impersonations. Freakin' funny, check it out!

Who Is Eva Simons?

I'm not even sure who Eva Simons is, but she sure does look interesting (and familiar). Well, Eva is a Dutch singer who is best known for winning the Dutch version of Popstars where she was apart of the short-lived girlband, Raffish. She is now on her solo ish, and her song "Silly Boy" has gotten a lot of attention. Now, the name of the song definitely sounded familiar to me because a while back that song was supposedly from Rihanna featuring Lady Gaga. However, I knew it was them, totally didn't even sound like it.

So, not only did people think she sounded like Rihanna and Lady Gaga, but they think she is definitely ripping off their look or (lack of a better word) "swag". I mean I can see why they think that. The edgy look, daring personality, I get that. But you ever wondered why Riri went from a Good Girl Gone Bad? Or where she could have gotten her style from? *cough* (Fefe Dobson) *coughs*. But anyway, I don't think Eva stole anything but some people's attention. Give her some time to shine. I'm gonna keep an eye out for this lady.





Mama, I Want To Sing...


I've been hearing about this movie for the longest and finally there's a trailer. Mama, I Want To Sing stars singer Ciara, and Emmy award winning actress, Lynn Whitfield. It will premiere at 13th Annual Urbanworld Film Festival. This actually looks kinda good. Reminds me of a Tyler Perry movie. He should have did this, it would have came out LONG time ago. Word is that the movie isn't fully finished, but they are still gonna screen it. Hmph. Check it.

Just In Case You Cared...

Here's Antonia "Toya" Carter in this new shoot photographed by Robort Ector, who is the protege of Derek Blanks. If you don't know who she is, she is most known for being the ex-wife of rapper Lil Wayne, and her show with T.I.'s woman, Tiny, in Tiny & Toya. I think she looks great in this shoot. I always thought she was pretty. Not drop dead gorgeous, but she's not ugly. She has braces, yes, but at least she's getting her teeth fixed LOL. She's supposedly coming out with a book about her life and is dating NFL player James Hardy. In other interesting news, her shoes are BOD!





All in Your Ear...

Anyone who knows me knows I can't stand Mariah Carey (nowadays). She used to be my shorty back in the day then she started shedding her clothes and got whack to me. However recently, with the success (and controversy surrounding it) of "Obsessed", I think I might like her again. That song is catchy as hell. A couple of songs has leaked from her upcoming 12th album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. I heard the demo for one of them. The-Dream sang it, and I said to myself, "I don't even wanna hear Mariah scream on this". But I must admit, "H.A.T.E.U." does sound a lot better with Mrs. Cannon on it. I even deleted The-Dream's version. So, take a listen meng!


Young Money is one of hip-hop's hottest labels right now. Even though they sign people then they drop, under the power of Lil Wayne, it has staying power with Drake & Nicki Minaj, just to name a few, on that team. Welp, if you wanted to hear them all in one song, here's you chance. "Bedrock" featuring Lloyd is a cute little song. The original one featured Omarion (>_>). Wonder why they replaced him. ANYWAY, I like it so, tell me what you think. =)

(BTW, that is the latest issue of The Source on stands now!)

Amber Rose From The Concrete...

I knew I liked this girl for some reason. Amber Rose proved to all the haters that she's more than just her beau's, Kanye West, arm candy. She is now the new face of Boadiciea The Victorious perfume by Michael Bodi. This was pictured in London this past Friday. At least she's doing something with those looks of hers, besides stripping. =)



NEW VIDEOS!


Sooooo, Drake has a new video for "Forever (Remix)" featuring Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Eminem. Honestly, I didn't bother watching the whole thing. It's quite apparent that Drizzy has no swaggy (which I like weirdly enough). I honestly think the original was better but that's just me. I'm guessing from the clips that this will be on the More Than A Game soundtrack. You guys can watch this video and tell me how it is. =)


Nasty boy Plies released a video for his single "Becky" off his upcoming album, Goon Affiliated. I knew the song was dirty from the first time I heard. Idk, anything I think that Plies says is naughty. If he talked about diapers, he would make it naughty, I swear. This song is kinda catchy. The girls in the video are WASHED but it's not really a real video so hey, (Kanye shrug). I don't know why I watched this whole video before I did Drake's but hey, it was entertaining.

Beyonce's Little Halo...



Beyonce always know how to make a tearjerker moment. Here she is singing to a little girl name Chealsea who has Cancer. This was in Sydney this past weekend. I would have fainted if B sang to me, I'm just saying. This was real adorable. Check it.

RIP Patrick Swayze...

Darn, another great celebrity gone. Patrick Swayze passed away yesterday after his almost 2-year battle with cancer. He was 57 years old. The last picture I seen of Swayze clearly shows he was fighting for his life. He was best known for his heart-stealing roles in movies like Dirty Dancing and Ghost. I swear heaven has to be too poppin right now with all this talent leaving us this year. At least, he's finally resting.
