Dr. Dre Says "F**k Rush Limbaugh"

By Roman Wolfe

Hip-Hop super producer Dr. Dre has weighed in on controversial talk show host Rush Limbaugh. The Hip-Hop producer is world famous for his work with rappers like Tupac Shakur, Snoop Dogg, Eminem and 50 Cent in addition to selling millions of records as a member of N.W.A. and as a solo artist.

Limbaugh was dropped from a group of investors who were attempting to bid for the

NFL's St. Louis Rams, due to his controversial views on race and politics.

When TMZ cameras caught Dre leaving an event in Hollywood, he replied "man f**k Rush Limbaugh."

A number of others have already spoke out against Limbaugh and his involvement with the SCP Worldwide investment group. Dr. Dre joins the list of Limbaugh critics, including Reverend Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and others. Last week SCP Worldwide chairman Dave Checketts dropped Limbaugh from the group's attempt to bid for the Rams, labeling his involvement "a complication and a distraction." "As such, we have decided to move forward without him and hope it will eventually lead us to a successful conclusion," Checketts said. When quizzed on the release of his long delayed album Detox, Dre was equally curt. "We doing it," Dre said.

IS THERE TOO MUCH HATERATION IN THE DMV?

CAN INDEPENDENT ARTIST GO MAINSTREAM WITHOUT A CHANGE OF LOCATION? There are many discussions throughout social networks asking whether or not being an independent artist from Washington, DC or the DMV is an advantage or disadvantage when trying to make it in mainstream entertainment. The question that seems to be the hot topic in most forums is “Do you have to leave the DMV to be successful?” Being passionate myself about the grind that must be put forth by any artist, I immediately said “no”. Why would an artist have to leave the DMV to peruse their dreams? Why can’t this feat be accomplished without relocating? This question is not just for musicians, but for poets, painters, writers, actors, and producers. Maybe I find the idea of having to uproot yourself unwillingly to fulfill your dreams, especially when so many successful names in the entertainment industry today represent the DMV to the fullest. Did these artist leave before or after they were discovered? R&B LIVE DC - Keyonte - Black Alley http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2ikzq4jW2Q Was it the high demand these artists generated as a rising star the reason to bounce to New York, Atlanta, or California, or was it because there is no love at home for lack of a better world? Let us not stop there. Let us talk about the resources available to independent artists to cross over to the mainstream. Is there any major record labels home to the DMV area? Aside from Duke Ellington School of the Arts and Howard University, there are not many forums for instruction of the arts. . Musical artist complain that there is no outlet for their music to be heard because of lack of radio play and format. You have to grease the palm of a disk jockey to get one spin at 3:00am when no one is listening. Some may say it is a daily hustle. If you stay on your grind, you will be successful. Others may argue that there is too much “HATIN” going on in the DMV. Now there is a bigger picture ladies and gentlemen. While the question of whether independent artist in the DMV area can make it to stardom without leaving home is a double-edged sword, here is a list of artists that still reside in the area despite the odds. Hip-Hop Producers Salaam Remi and Chucky Thompson share their experiences working with hip hop artists like NAS. To watch the complete interview, visit ThinkTalk.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Alk_lWHKpQ 1. Taby Bonney 2. Wale 3. Chucky Thompson 4. Raheem Devaughn 5. Keyonte’ 6. Michael Epps 7. Dave Chapelle 8. Jada Pinkette 9. Toni Braxton 10. Taraj P Henson 11. David Edwards 12. Maya 13. Royale Watkins Tabi Bonney http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_aP5X1VgWo Although some of the artists listed above may not currently reside in the DMV area, they remained on their own geographical soil as they were discovered into the mainstream. It took Wale to go to Canada and then return to DC building up a large following. Now you can find him plastered over MTV and other networks with Pop Star Lady Gaga. Taby Bonney has had success overseas as well and has brought it home to DC. I can tell you for a fact that they hate on Taby. No one can argue the fact that Taby Boney is one of the few if not only independent unsigned artist to appear on MTV’s $2 Dollar Bill Tour, as well as the “Rock the Vote” tour. Raheem Devaughn has had a Grammy nomination as well as Keyonte for songwriting. Chucky Thompson is a major producer who produced Biggie, Mary J Blidge, Amerie, and many more. Discussion on this topic can go on until infinity with positive and negative feedback, but while these artists flourished in their hometown and continue on with their daily grind, other artist did in fact seek other horizons to manifest their dreams into reality. David Edwards, a native Washingtonian is now in California fulfilling his dream as a director. You may remember him in his famous role playing himself on the Real World, roles in Half Baked, and House Party 3. Royale Watkins http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyzUbE2v2VU Royale Watkins shinned on Def Comedy Jam and is currently hosting Comedy Mixtape Tour along -side the very talented Anthony Anderson. These two gentlemen alone had to pack their bags and head to the big city to pursue their careers. Was it hateration that caused these two artists to leave their hometown or was it due to a lack of resources? The DMV is a small city which turns the target market of artists into one big melting pot of competition so I have come to say that it is a double edged sword when answering the question which lingers in so many people’s mind. One thing is for certain, and two things are for sure. Artist born and raised in the DMV area always come home some time or another, and when they do, DC is represented to the fullest. Whether artist stop on the heads of other artist in order to get noticed or signed is a question that many can answer, with many different answers. My question to you is, are you going to let this stop you from your dreams and will you leave your hometown to escape the hate? Written by InTheMixWithTre'

Lebron Jame's Nike Air Max Lebron VII

A few weeks ago we took a look at our first preview of the Nike Air Max LeBron VII (7), the seventh signature sneaker from Lebron James. Now that the pictures have made their way around the internet a lot of people are speculating on the fact that the early photos to surface are fakes. Whether or not that is the issue we arent quite sure, but we have come across some newer photos or another Air Max LeBron VII which are expected to be official.

From what we know about the Lebron VII so far we understand that they will be the lightest Lebron James signature sneakers ever produced and will be even lighter then his regular playoff sneakers, the Nike Zoom Solider. Other key elements in the design include the use of a 360 Air Unit and various materials used throughout the upper including Flywire like we saw in the last preview or like in this case mesh.

No official release details have been announced at this time for the Nike Air Max LeBron VII (7) so we will be sure to keep you posted on any further details. Via: NLB

Beyonce, ordered papparazi not dare take photographs of her booty.

Beyonce has reportedly ordered snappers not to photograph her from behind on her current world tour because she sweats so much.

The singer is wowing crowds on her I Am … Sasha Fierce global jaunt, but her dance routines are so energetic she is left dripping wet afterward.

So she has demanded photographers only shoot from certain angles to preserve her modesty, according to the New York Daily News.

A source tells the publication, “Beyonce’s costumes are so tiny and her choreography is so complicated that inevitably she sweats. It looks pretty gross, so no one is allowed to shoot her from that particular angle any more.”

TMZ: Debbie Rowe & Michael Jackson Are Not The Biological Parents

According to TMZ.com, the three children raised by Michael Jackson as his own are not his biologicals. It should have been obvious just by looking at them, but I guess some people need a lot more convincing.

Surprisingly, Debbie Rowe is not the biological mother of the children either. All three children were conceived in vitro — outside the w

Michael Jackson was not the biological father of any of his children. And Debbie Rowe is not the biological mother of the two kids she bore for Michael. All three children were conceived in vitro — outside the womb.

Multiple sources deeply connected to the births tell us Michael was not the sperm donor for any of his kids. Debbie’s eggs were not used. She was merely the surrogate, and paid well for her services in the births of Michael Jr. and Paris.

In the case of Prince Michael II (the youngest), we’re told the surrogate was never told of the identity of the “receiving parent” — Michael Jackson. Three days after Prince was born at Grossmont Hospital in San Diego County, Jackson’s lawyer came to the hospital to pick the baby up and deliver him to Michael.

WHO IS BARACK OBAMA WORKING FOR?

The Obama Deception is a hard-hitting film that completely destroys the myth that Barack Obama is working for the best interests of the American people. The Obama phenomenon is a hoax carefully crafted by the captains of the New World Order. He is being pushed as savior in an attempt to con the American people into accepting global slavery. We have reached a critical juncture in the New World Order's plans. It's not about Left or Right: it's about a One World Government. The international banks plan to loot the people of the United States and turn them into slaves on a Global Plantation. Covered in this film: who Obama works for, what lies he has told, and his real agenda. If you want to know the facts and cut through all the hype, this is the film for you. Watch the Obama Deception and learn how: - Obama is continuing the process of transforming America into something that resembles Nazi Germany, with forced National Service, domestic civilian spies, warrantless wiretaps, the destruction of the Second Amendment, FEMA camps and Martial Law. - Obama's handlers are openly announcing the creation of a new Bank of the World that will dominate every nation on earth through carbon taxes and military force. - International bankers purposefully engineered the worldwide financial meltdown to bankrupt the nations of the planet and bring in World Government. - Obama plans to loot the middle class, destroy pensions and federalize the states so that the population is completely dependent on the Central Government. - The Elite are using Obama to pacify the public so they can usher in the North American Union by stealth, launch a new Cold War and continue the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. The information contained in this film is vital to the future of the Republic and to freedom worldwide. President Barack Obama is only the tool of a larger agenda. Until all are made aware, humanity will remain captive to the masters of the New World Order. Posted by Joe Traxx
