Kanye West Booed at Home Game




The always controversial, Kanye West arrived fashionably late to the Chicago Bulls-Miami Heat game last night in his hometown of Chicago. He was later introduced by the announcer and the crowd booed him. It’s hard to determine whether they were unhappy with his tardiness to the game or if it was a few recent incidents that landed him in the press.
For instance, yesterday he made news after sending out a tweet that read, “an abortion can cost a ballin’ n*gga up to 50gs maybe a 100. Gold diggin’ b*tches be getting pregnant on purpose. #STRAPUP my n*ggas!”. British singer Lily Allen, who recently suffered two miscarriages,  was so disgusted by the comments she tweeted, “Never has a tweet put me in such a bad mood. This is wrong on so many levels.
This isn’t Kanye’s first time getting booed either. He was reportedly booed at the 2008 Bonnaroo Festival in Tennessee, at the 2009 VMAs when he interrupted Taylor Swift, and the 2010 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
So many people seem to dislike him, however he’s still selling millions of records. So, who’s really mad?

Foxy Brown Has A Lot To Say About Lil Kim & Nicki Minaj




Last week rumors began circulating that rapper Foxy Brown had found herself in a bit of trouble during an after-party for Fashion week. According to reports, she showed up intoxicated, locked herself in the bathroom and had to be escorted out by security. Although Foxy claims the story is untrue, it gave her enough buzz to begin promoting her new double album “Black Roses”.
She recently sat down with Billboard and not only gave up the goods on what really happened at that after-party, but weighed in, heavily, on Black Friday and Lil Kim’s hostility towards Nicki Minaj.
On Lil Kim’s Animosity Towards Nicki
Had she let the people say, “Oh [Nicki], you’re trying to be Kim, you’re a fake Kim,” then it doesn’t come directly from her. But when you’re using that as a platform to bring your new album out, that’s like, “Oh my God, wait a minute.” I don’t condone it at all; I don’t think it’s cute.
Nicki clearly drew from both Kim and me. And she hasn’t been disrespectfulto me in any way — I haven’t heard her be disrespectful toward anybody else but Kim. And at some point, it’s like, O.K., Kim, you’ve had a problem with Foxy, you’ve had a problem with Nicki, you’ve had a problem with Faith [Evans], with Charli [Baltimore], with everybody. It’s like, enough already. I choose to stay out of it. Put out great music, and that’s that.
Of course, people everywhere clearly are saying, “She wants to be Foxy, she wants to be Kim.” Everybody’s going to say that. But do I think she’s doing an incredible job at branding herself? Yes, I do. When you’re an icon in the music business…like Mary J. Blige. Keyshia Cole came out after her, [but] you didn’t hear Mary J. Blige starting a beef with her just because they compared [Keyshia to] her. Mary J. Blige stayed clean. She does what she does, and I do what I do.
On the Fashion After-Party Rumors
I don’t know how any rumors got started. Indashio is a personal friend of mine — I’m his biggest supporter, he’s my biggest supporter…It was all about me coming to support one of my closest friends in fashion. They’re saying I was physically escorted out of the building by security, that I had this huge fight, I was intoxicated, falling all over. And there’s not one picture, one photo from any of the club-goers, nothing. Not only that — it took six days for this quote-unquote “breaking story” to surface? Does that make sense?
On Her New Album
The new album! “Black Roses.” I’m in the studio every night, slaving. It’s going to be the first double CD from any female rapper in history, so it’s going to be really big. One side is going to be straight hip-hop and hardcore records, and a couple big radio joints, and then the other side is dancehall rock… I personally want it to drop around August or September.
In my humble opinion, Foxy going at Lil Kim on the “Massacre” was just as foolish as the whole Lil Kim/ Nicki Minaj beef. I hope these girls straighten up and start putting out some good music.

I feel like I’m still dreaming right now. It was a dream come true for myself and I’m ready to get down to business right now.

Kanye West "All Of The Lights" Video Removed From Youtube For Causing Seizures




Kanye West's "All Of the Lights" video  has been taken down off of youtube because it is said to cause seizures.
Epilepsy Action, a UK based epilepsy group, sent Kanye's video to be analyzed by Cambridge Research Systems, which analyzed the video using the "HardingFPA" machine.
The research found that the rate at which the lights flash could trigger seizures, prompting Epilepsy Action to condemn the "All of the Lights" video.
"This machine looks at whether video footage is likely to cause seizures," Epilepsy Action said in a statement. "We have today had confirmation that it contains material that may cause seizures in some people with photosensitive epilepsy."
According to Epilepsy Action representatives, the video has been pulled from YouTube.com and will be banned from television, particularly in the United Kingdom.
"Ofcom regulations mean that this video should not be broadcast on UK television," Epilepsy Action warned. "However, it is available online in a number of places.
We are in the process of trying to contact Kanye West's agent, YouTube and other online sources of the video to ask that they take it down. We have also contacted MTV and other TV stations to make them aware of the issue."

Kanye Accused Of Copying French Film In "All Of The Lights" Video




Kanye Accused Of Stealing "All Of The Lights" Concept
The premiere of Kanye's new video for “All Of The Lights” is stirring up controversy now that the G.O.O.D. Music head is being accused of stealing the idea from a French film.
Kanye's new video features the rapper alongside Kid Cudi and Rihanna in black and white scenes before colorful words flash across the screen.
According to some viewers however, the visual is strikingly similar to French Film “Enter The Void.”
Linda Sharp, a writer for TheStirBlog.com, pointed out the similarities saying,
Either it's a deliberate homage to the film, or… well, maybe nobody thought Kanye's fans would know anything about relatively obscure French melodramas. Hard to say."
Ye has yet to respond.

Ray J Says He "Created Kim Kardashian"




Ray J has created some controversy after saying in an interview that he made Kim Kardashian what she is today.
The interview came from the series "Sex, Cameras, and Hip-Hop," as Ray J told the reporter:
"I don't hang with stars I create stars! Kim was created cocktail was created and now I'm off to a new project.  I wish them well, I hope they have major success in life and I hope they are successful."
Unless you have been living under a rock, most of the world knows that Kim Kardashian really became a household name when her sextape with the R&B singer was released.
Since the release of the tape, Kim has had her own show, clothing line, and has been on numerous magazine covers.  So do you feel that Ray J has a point?

Although we agree that Kim needs to stop using Nicki for publicity, do you feel that Nicki is the "hottest thing" in the game?
