Asher Roth's April Fools Joke

Good sense of humor! Even better spoof

Jadakiss and Styles P Rocked Austin!

In case you're completely oblivious to music news, this past weekend the South by Southwest entertainment conference in Austin, TX...it featured live performances and cyphers from such artists like Asher Roth, Bobby Ray (the artist formerly known as B.O.B), Wale, Playboy Tre, Solange Knowles, and more! Many people were Tweeting about the shows and performances...the consensus came out that if you love music (not just hip hop), this is an event you must attend once in your life!

I was able to find a truly amazing performance by Jadakiss...he brought it back w/ some old school favorites...I know ya'll remember when "Wild Out" was THE CLUB SONG! I had forgotten that "Get High" was a LOX song...this was classic!

I wanna be Ciara!

She may not have the strongest voice, but hands-down Ciara is the best dancer in the r&b genre...whether it's using a chair or a guy as a prop, Ciara does it effortlessly and so sexy...I love this video! Oh and Justin looks good too

This kid is ONLY 10!

So it's 3am and I just got in from a crazy party @ Eros (big ups to the Glenn Twins and Eva Pigford, I had a blast, sick and all lolol)...I logged into Twitter just to see what worthwhile tweets I missed throughout the day...and I come across this, courtesy of TJ Chapman (of TJsDJs)



Now there are so many things wrong w/ this video...I don't even know where to begin...the 1st is as a parent why do you have your child out in the street like that? I understand preaching the Word and teaching religion from an early age, but protesting at the age of 10? Religious people always say the God calls on children to spread his word and I'm willing to buy into that ideology...but this is just way too much

Secondly, a 10 year old should not even know what the word "whore" means...if you wanna teach your child that certain types of behavior are wrong, you can say it's unpleasing to God or it's not in agreement w/ the faith...but watching this boy spew such foul language, it blew me...it's disappointing actually...even though I could see the intent was in the right place, his ignorant parents are teaching him the wrong methods...and what's so sad is that he'll grow up to be 1 of the radicals that are out there delivering a good message but going about it completely wrong...putting his own life and the lives of others at risk...and people wonder how people grow up to be terrorists...this is how

Videos This Week

I haven't been following American Idol the past couple seasons and I'm so upset that I missed this episode b/c 'Ye was on there...but in case you missed it, check it out! Hopefully he's getting his mind together b/c that 808 and Heartbreak is killing me...smh

Videos You'll Love

Finally Chrisette Michelle is back...w/ a special cameo from Drake



Somethin very different from The-Dream, but I like where it was going (he has every right to be confident, but let's hope he doesn't turn into the 'Ye of R&B)



I LOVE so many things about Jazmine Sullivan's video...I love that it was done in blk/white (gives it an artistic edge most videos lack)...I love that a story is infused w/ her live performance...how many women can relate to choosing the bad boy, when we know daggone well the good guy is the right choice? and her voice is so...poweful (that's an understatement, but I can't think of the right word)

Call him P Twitty!!!

How can you not love Sean Combs!?! This is another reason why you need to get on Twitter...he was buggin out last night eating KFC and Popeye's chicken @ like 6 in the am...he's broadcasting all while he records his new album "Last Train to Paris"...but I don't know about the OG Diddy drink...love him, hate him, he's an amazing marketing genius!

And we got some drops, courtesy of his late-night vlogs

Abuse against women has to STOP!

It amazes me at how many bloggers were all over the Chris Brown/Rihanna situation, but they're sorta quick to post this...violence against a woman is unacceptable, rather she's rich or another young lady on the street...and what these officers did was BULLSH!T! It's disgusting and it's amazing that #1 these officers would be so aggressive w/ a woman and #2 w/ a child...b/c the young lady is a minor...please tell me, how does a shoe being kicked at you render a threat?

SEATTLE -- A teenage girl who was kicked, hit and slammed to the floor of a jail cell by a King County sheriff's deputy says she screamed that she was not resisting but couldn't get him to stop.

Malika Calhoun, 16, said Monday on CBS' "The Early Show" the attack that began after she kicked off a shoe in the direction of the deputy was "horrible."

"I was yelling. I was like, `This isn't - I'm not resisting, I'm not resisting,' and he said, `Whether you're resisting or not, that was assault,"' Calhoun said. "Then he just kept doing it and kept going and going."

The attack was recorded by a surveillance camera in November and was released by prosecutors last week in the case against Deputy Paul Schene, who is accused of using excessive force. Schene, 31, pleaded innocent Thursday to fourth-degree assault.

According to Superior Court documents, Calhoun, 15 at the time, and a second girl were taken into custody in an auto theft investigation. Video images show that after Calhoun entered a cell at suburban SeaTac City Hall, she kicked off one of her shoes toward the deputy.

Calhoun denied that the shoe hit Schene.

Even so, she said he told her that kicking the shoe at an officer constituted assault and burst into the cell. Calhoun said she kicked the shoe at Schene because she was upset. Court documents say the shoe struck Schene below the knee. (Watch the video clip.)

Before the attack, Calhoun said, she and Schene had been arguing all night. She accused him of being rude.

The video "was very disturbing," her father Curtiss said in the CBS interview.

"I didn't know it was this severe of an assault," he said. "As far as what happens to him, I wouldn't like to see him work as a police officer. I don't think that's the job for him, based on the way he reacted."

The video showed a deputy kicking the girl, pushing her strongly back against the wall, grabbing her hair and slamming her to the floor.

A second deputy was then shown entering the holding cell as the first deputy held the girl face down to the floor. The first deputy appeared to hit the girl with his hands. She was then lifted up and led out of the cell while the first deputy held her hair.

"It was horrible, like my head hit the wall when he first came in and kicked me," Calhoun said.

According to court documents, Calhoun complained of breathing problems after the episode and medics were called to check her. A short time later, she was taken to a youth detention center and booked for investigation of auto theft and third-degree assault, the latter accusation concerning the confrontation with the deputy. Calhoun has pleaded innocent to taking a motor vehicle without permission. She was never formally charged with assault.

Schene told investigators through an e-mail conversation with his lawyer that once the girl kicked her shoe at him, he entered the cell to "prevent another assault," according to court documents. Schene also said the girl refused to comply with instructions in the holding area.

Prosecutors said Schene did not explain why he apparently struck the girl after he had her in a holding position on the floor.
