Kanye West Is Taking Care Of Business..Back from proposed to His Girl Kim

 

Kanye West proposed to Kim Kardashian in San Francisco on Monday night in quite the spectacular fashion. To get a better sense of how Yeezus was feeling before he popped the big question, we turn to this interview which occurred just hours before the main event.

In the clip, compliments of local radio station 106 KMEL, West gushed about his reality star girlfriend stating, “I have never loved any girl, other than my mother, as much as I love my girlfriend.” Then in true Kanye fashion, the never humble "Black Skinhead" rapper went on to proclaim the couple's mass influence they have on pop culture ("This girl [kim] is one of the number one designers in the world.")

But perhaps the most refreshing part of the interview was how egotistical Kanye turned into nothing more than a bashful, smiling guy in love with his best friend when asked by the radio hosts if he was going to marry Kardashian. "I’m not answering those questions,” he said coyly. Of course, later on in the evening, he did. 

 

 Recently engaged rapper Kanye West arrives to a business meeting in his black Lamborghini on October 24, 2013 in Los Angeles, California.

 

After returning from his trip to San Francisco where he proposed to girlfriend Kim Kardashian, Kanye West is seen leaving a business meeting before heading over to the Hollywood Center Studios in Beverly Hills, California on October 24, 2013.

 

Why Wasn't Bruce Jenner Invited to Kim and Kanye's Engagement Party?

 The latest in Kimye engagement news: Bruce Jenner was clearly missing from Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's proposal party at AT&T Park in San Francisco. Why?

According to Daxx Cruz, Jenner and West never had a "real conversation" about the engagement, and didin't even know the rapper was planning a big celebration in San Francisco. The website also notes that it's unclear whether Jenner wasn't at the engagement because Kris Jenner didn't want him there (despite reports that the two are on good terms after the split), or West didn't want to invite him.

However, Kardashian's first phone call was apparently to Jenner to share her happy news.

Robin Thicke Gets His Groove on with T.I. and Pharrell During 2013 BET Awards Performance

Chris Brown might have a ton of drama going on in his personal life, but if there’s one thing that remains constant in his life it’s his dedication to performing.

As the promo for his next album, X, continues to ramp up, Chris Brown pulled off a coup by securing the opening spot for the 2013 BET Awards. Opening with his lead single “Fine China,” Breezy does his usual theezy with the over-the-top choreography and the lip synching.
While some people might complain about the pre-recorded vocals, trust me, he did y’all a favor. I don’t know if it’s the crack or his weed habit, but that boy’s live vocals are shot.
After “Fine China,” Chris transitioned to his Aaliyah-assisted single “Don’t Think They Know.” He threw images of the late R&B star up on the screen as he vibed during the track. That whole anti-gang violence message he’s trying to shoehorn into the song still doesn’t make an iota of sense, but the track is smooth. So I’m with it.
In a made-for-TV moment, Chris closed with a surprise appearance from Nicki Minaj for “Love More,” a new track from his album. The guest appearance was nice, but they stuck Nicki in a damn prop so she wasn’t able to unleash her kinetic energy.

In the race for “White Boy of the Year,” Robin Thicke is doing quite well for himself with his hit single “Blurred Lines.”

Robin Thicke has never been bigger than he is at this moment and he knows it. So he staged a monster of a performance for the 2013 BET Awards and he invited Pharrell, T.I. and a bevvy of beauties to tag along for the show.
With a whip-sharp falsetto, Robin played to his strengths and avoided any awkward dance moves. Robin might believe his music is more “black” than Justin, but he moves like the awkward white boy that he is.
But the groove to “Blurred Lines” is undeniable and Robin owns it. Although it was kind of awkward when Pharrell proclaimed that he loved black music while standing next to Robin Thicke. Isn’t that a bit like saying you love big women while standing next to Zoe Saldana?

Ciara Turns Up at the 2013 BET Awards with “I’m Out” (feat. Nicki Minaj) and “Body Party”

Forget what ya heard. It’s totally possible for a man band to work and Charlie Wilson, Pharrell Williams and Justin Timberlake proved this with their spectacular showing at the 2013 BET Awards.

Charlie Wilson, or “Uncle Charlie,” as he’s affectionately known, has held it down for soul music for more than 30 years as the leader of the GAP Band. But he’s not been absent from the modern music scene thanks to his relationship with Pharrell, who put him on blazing hot tracks from the 2000′s like Snoop Dogg’s “Beautiful” and “Signs.”
After accepting his legendary award, Uncle Charlie hit the stage and ran through his a catalog of his hits and features, but things really turned up a notch when Pharrell, Justin and Uncle Charlie got into the groove and just lit the stage on fire. Snoop Dogg/Lion, for whatever reason, stood around and largely observed the magnificence going on in front of him.
Prior to Uncle Charlie hitting the stage, India Arie and Jamie Foxx tributed the R&B legend with their own performances. India’s glittered bell bottom jumpsuit was a perplexing fashion choice, but at least she stepped away from her Mother Earth image… a lil’ bit.

Dressed like a Fabulous Freebird from the days of the NWA and WCW, Miguel performed his latest single, the creepy, date-rapeish “How Many Drinks” featuring Kendrick Lamar at the 2013 BET Awards. If you like jackets that look like they get regular perms, lots of screams and falsetto, and splits galor, this performance is for you.

You’ve gotta give it to Ciara. Even though she’s essentially been doing the same five to six steps since 2004, she damn sure looked good throughout her set at the 2013 BET Awards.

I’m all for Super C when she’s doing Magic City inspired R&B — particularly when it comes with a good prerecorded live vocal. Bless her for knowing when to sing live and when to not even bother torturing herself or the rest of us. Learn, Chris Brown. Learn.
That said, get into CiCi’s performance of her new single, “I’m Out” featuring Nicki Minaj as well as her big R&B hit, “Body Party.”
It’s really, really good and hopefully she continues to perform “Body Party” everywhere she can. I can go without hearing “I’m Out.” Yeah, just do “Super Turnt Up” or “Sophomore.”

R. Kelly Relives His Greatest Hits During 2013 BET Awards Performance

 

Do you believe you can fly? Even if you don’t, R. Kelly‘s heavenly hit song probably made you feel like you did back when you were in middle school.

Seeking to cement his “legendary” status, R. Kelly decided to tribute himself in a way that only R. Kelly could. He opened his performance at the BET Awards by trotting out a line out of male and female actors to lipsynch and re-enact some of his hit songs like “Half on a Baby” and “Contagious.” It was like, “What if Glee covered R. Kelly?”
After that, Robert popped up onstage in a spike studded leather cap and biker’s jacket. He looked like a walking meat tenderizer, to be honest, but I guess he thought he looked butch and intimidating. Maybe he wanted to make Trey Songz quiver in his boots?

While there’s no doubting Robert’s catalog of hits, the selection and transition between them in this medley was bizarre, messy and chaotic. But that’s exactly what R. Kelly usually delivers in a live show anyway. So I guess I shouldn’t have expected anything else .

 

 2 Chainz, the uncle of Hip-Hop, took the stage during the final hour of the 2013 BET Awards. Wearing an all-black fringe jacket that made him look like he was straight out of the wild wild west, Uncle 2 Chainz debuted his new Pharrell-produced single “Feds Watching” and also caused a few “Fuckin Problems” with A$AP Rocky and Kendrick Lamar.

For his 2013 BET Awards performance, rap newcomer J. Cole — fresh off the release of his sophomore album ‘Born Sinner’ — went on a “Power Trip” with Miguel, and showed off his “Crooked Smile,” the latter being his latest single featuring TLC, who, for some reason, didn’t show up to sing the song’s infectious hook live. Bummer.

 

 

Why Didn’t Drake Show Up at the BET Awards?

Drake was a no-show at this year’s BET Awards, despite him nabbing at least a dozen nominations and being the recipient of the Viewer’s Choice Award and the award for Best Collaboration (for A$AP Rocky’s “F**kin Problem”).
The rumor leading up to the show (thanks, Twitter) was that Drake did in fact plan to attend the show, but decided to skip out at the last minute because he wanted to avoid running into Chris Brown. But Drake took to Twitter after the show to quell the rumors and thank fans for his award.

: 2013 BET Awards Red Carpet Photos

 The biggest night in urban music and entertainment also saw red carpet appearances from Kevin Hart, Nelly, French Montana, Mya, Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas, Kenya Moore (from “RHOA“), Janelle Monae, Jamie Foxx, Pharrell, Brandy, Jordin Sparks, Michelle Williams and plenty others, including that overly sassy, but still cute, little girl Quvenzhané Wallis.

 It was a family affair at the BET Awards as well, with Snoop Dogg/Lion (whatever he’s calling himself right now) arriving with his family, Robert Townsend posing with his daughter Skye Townsend and Nick Cannon showing up with his grandfather.

The stars were out and shining bright as they descended upon the 2013 BET Awards in Los Angeles Sunday night (Jun 30). Tons of celebs arrived in style at the annual event, which was held at the Staples Center this year, including Miguel, Chris Brown, T.I., Ashanti, Ciara, Kendrick Lamar, Big Sean, J. Cole and 2 Chainz.

.

The couples also showed up too — Robin Thicke and Paula Patton arrived together, as did Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa, and Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union.

Lil’ Wayne Tries to Clear Up Flag Controversy: “I Didn’t Step on the Flag on Purpose!”

Because pissing off Black people the world over via a tasteless rap lyric about Emmett Till was not enough, Lil Wayne has continued his “Let me make the public mad as hell at me” campaign. This time, Weezy’s been catching heat over the video for his upcoming single “God Bless Amerika.”

On the track, Wayne raps,

My country ’tis of thee / Sweet land of kill ‘em all and let ‘em die / God bless Amerika / This ole’ godless Amerika.

That’s one thing, but the real issue centers on behind the scenes footage which shows Wayne rapping in front of the flag before it falls to the ground. You see, it’s a faux pas for the flag to fall to the ground, but it’s even worse when you actually walk over the flag.

In a tweet, Wayne tried to explain the situation:

The Girl Who Said Chris Brown Pushed Her Down the Stairs at a Nightclub Lied

Yesterday, TMZ reported that Chris Brown had been accused of “badly injuring” a 24-year-old girl at a nightclub in California over the weekend. The girl had claimed that she was so “badly” injured that she might need surgery.

Well, guess what? All of it was a lie, this according to owners of the Heat Ultra Lounge in Anaheim, California, who told TMZ:

The accuser Deanna Gines’ side of the story goes as follows. She was in the VIP section with Chris at the club where he had just performed, and when the bar was about to close, she says Chris, for whatever reason, shoved her to the ground deliberately, causing her to fall hard on her knees.

 

Deanna even sent TMZ this picture of her on crutches — apparently after she was treated at the hospital for “torn ligaments” — wearing a leg brace and one of the saddest faces ever. She’s really playing up the “victim” role here, but one question. Why is she “standing” on her injured knee? Why is she dressed like that? Why is her room messy?

Why is she lying?!?

Chris Brown defended himself and his innocence on Twitter Monday, insisting that he “didn’t do anything” and that he had a “positive” night at the club, and according to TMZ, the owner of the club is backing him up.

Also backing up Chris’ side of the story were eyewitnesses who told Gossip Cop that Deanna “spent all night trying to get on stage” during the Grammy winner’s performance, in addition to trying to enter his VIP area later.

His security managed to keep her safely away, but as Brown left the venue, she claimed that he had “pushed her down the stairs.” But what really happened is Gines actually “tripped and fell” long after Brown had left the building, witnesses said.

Here’s Showing 2 Chainz Being Robbed at Gunpoint & Running Like Hell Read more: Here’s the Video Showing 2 Chainz Being Robbed at Gunpoint & Running Like Hell

Now that it’s been proven that 2 Chainz was indeed jacked at gunpoint in San Francisco, the debate has shifted to whether or not Uncle Tity Boi should’ve ran like hell when someone pulled a gun on him and his crew.

Clearly, the people leading this debate are folks who’ve never had a gun pointed at their face. Well, I have, so let me just say while I didn’t have the opportunity to run when I was being robbed at gunpoint, if I did I would’ve somersaulted into the sky.

When you ain’t holding, you haul ass. That’s a rule of thumb. I don’t know who raised you folks — I presume 1990′s rap lyrics and BET Black Star Cinema — but your faux-hard stances will have you sliding right into an early grave.

Did Jay-Z Intentionally Try to Outshine Kanye West with His Samsung Album Deal?

 

In “OMG, why won’t you just let me shine!” news, a few people seem to take offense on behalf of Kanye West as it relates to “big brother” Jay-Z announcing his new Samsung deal — which includes the phone provider pre-purchasing a million units of his new album — the week of Kanye’s anticipated new release, ‘Yeezus.’
After all, Jay-Z’s second best talent is attention whoring, so naturally I’m sure he was well aware of the reality that news of ‘Magna Carta Holy Grail,’ due next month, might take away from ‘Ye’s attention, even if for a lil’ bit.
Some people have been far more verbal about Hov’s timing of the announcement than others:

He may have served as tour DJ for Kanye West, known to be a good pal of Jay-Z, but the close association did not stop DJ A-Trak from making some unflattering comments about the Roc Nation mogul’s recent Samsung TV commercial. The Fool’s Gold Records founder/producer thought it was all too “corny.”
“That Samsung sh** is corny,” A-Trak tweeted Monday morning, June 17, about the way Jay-Z announced his new album’s release through a Samsung smartphone commercial. The DJ seemed to disagree with other Twitter account users, mostly rappers too, who commented rather favorably on Hov’s latest move, like Soulja Boy who thought “that Jay-Z commercial was dope.”
Perhaps DJ A-Trak got irked with Jay-Z’s timing, if morning show host Peter Rosenberg’s tweet got it right, that “JayZ has managed to overshadow the biggest week of hiphop releases of the year and his album doesn’t come out til mid July,” that album being West’s “Yeezus”. Jay-Z’s Samsung commercial came out at halftime of the NBA Finals game on Sunday night, on the eve of Yeezy’s new album debut.
Record producer Polow da Don may have summarized the sentiments of Jay-Z’s bashers, putting it rather bluntly by tweeting, “Roc*Nation is greatness…the rest of these ni**az are scared and steady kissin these crackaz a**…”

Eh. Between Kanye getting rave reviews, headlines for pissing off victims of Parkinson’s disease with new lyrics from the album, and you know, having a baby with the biggest media whore on planet Earth, I think he’ll be okay regardless of suspicions about Hov’s intentions.

This is How Kanye West Knows Kim Kardashian Loves Him

 

It's no secret: Kim and Kanye have a very unique relationship, mostly thanks to the fact that Yeezy is, well, Yeezy. But, it still might surprise you that Mr. West seems to measure Kim's love through her wardrobe.

When asked by W magazine (before Nori's birth) about controlling his gal's fashion choices, he said: "Nobody can tell my girl what to do. She just needed to be given some platforms of information to work from."

Then here's where it gets good. He continued about Kim's new high-fashion wardrobe: "One beautiful thing is that as she discovers it, the world discovers it. For her to take that risk in front of the world, it just shows you how much she loves me."

But, he'll have you know, love is a two-way street. He shows his love by dealing with all of the reality TV nonsense. The interviewer asked if he had any misgivings over appearing on Keeping Up with the Kardashians and he explained: "Oh, that's just all for love. It's simply that. At a certain point, or always, love is more important than any branding, or any set of cool people, or attempting to impress anyone. Because true love is just the way you feel . . .Thoughts and feelings can disagree sometimes."

The Rock is Eating 14 Eggs, 3 Pounds of Meat Per Day for 'Hercules' Role

 

 In case you were wondering, The Rock's muscles do not look like this by accident. In fact, it takes 7 meals a day, 3 pounds of meat, 14 egg whites, a ton of veggies, and some lion blood (plus a whole lot of time at the gym) to look like this.

The action star just tweeted a picture of his diet plan for playing the title character in the upcoming movie Hercules and it's mind-blowing.

Halibut twice a day. Steak twice a day. So much broccoli.

Worth noting: He's not actually drinking lion's blood. If you remember back to Greek mythology, Hercules is charged by King Eurystheus with slaying of the Nemean Lion. It's a part of the movie, guys.

We're going to go feel bad about our pizza lunch now.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's newborn daughter finally has a name

 

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's newborn daughter finally has a name — and it's just as unique as you would expect it to be.

 Sources have confirmed that the couple has named their new daughter North West. As in, the direction and/or the airline. TMZ has obtained a copy of the birth certificate from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center that confirms the big name news.

Back in March, Kim denied the rumors that she was considering the name North, telling Jay Leno, "I do like Easton, Easton West."

What do you think of the name North for a little girl? Unique and cool? Just plain weird? Hit the comments below with your thoughts!

Update: According to E!, Kim and Kanye plan on calling little North by the nickname "Nori."

 

 

Jay-Z can now add another title to his increasingly long resume, as he is now a fully, licensed NBA and MLB sports agent; and Juan Perez, the president of Roc Nation Sports, has also reportedly been licensed by the NBA.

Jay-Z and Perez launched Roc Nation Sports back in April and signed New York Yankees’ Robinson Cano as their first client. Kevin Durant is reportedly set to be the first NBA player to sign with Roc Nation Sports.
“Because of my love of sports, it was a natural progression to form a company where we can help top athletes in various sports the same way we have been helping artists in the music industry for years,” Jay-Z said at the time.
Well you know what Jay-Z said, “I’m not a businessman, I’m a business man, let me handle my business, damn.”

Here we go again. Lil’ Mama is out on the corner begging for a handout from more relevant and famous rappers.

In an interview with The Hollie Wood and Friends Show on Blog Talk Radio, Lil’ Mama spilled her guts about landing the role of Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes in the upcoming TLC biopic. The topic inevitably moved on to Lil’ Mama’s take on the state of female rappers. And whenever we talk about female rappers these days, Nicki Minaj’s name MUST be mentioned.
Necole Bitchie got the transcript from the interview, and according to Lil’ Mama, Nicki owes it to other female rappers to “put them on.”

It’s a lot of underground women who are trying to break through, but on a mainstream level the only person that I really hear on radio is Nicki Minaj. A lot of times I hear her say, “I do this for women” and “I’m doing this for all of us” while she’s accepting a BET Award, but other than that I don’t see her putting any other women on. I don’t see her on tracks with other women that are current. I don’t see her embracing any other women. I feel like its time for female MC’s to really start sticking together and start putting out some music.

Uh huh. Truth be told, it’s true that Nicki doesn’t rock with other female rappers on wax, but the truth should also be told that Lil’ Mama spent a good chunk of her time throwing shade at Nicki Minaj too.
Back in 2011, after Nicki Minaj made a guest appearance on Lil’ Mama’s last paying gig as host of MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew, Lil’ Mama ran her mouth and accused the Young Money femcee of stealing her style in an interview with VIBE.

Yeah, she was a guest on America’s Best Dance Crew and immediately afterwards, everywhere she went, she was wearing the haircut, the same exact way. But that doesn’t make me feel like ‘Oh she’s trying to be down’ like how I said about our culture. I’m actually flattered because she imitated me and it felt like something that I was doing was cute and in time for the fashion and for the season, so it’s like let’s live, let’s do it.

Right. So before Lil’ Mama begs for some of Nicki Minaj’s spotlight, she should try to cut down on her shade.
