Happy Mothers Day – Dear Mama – by 2Pac
Happy Mothers Day – Dear Mama – by 2Pac
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, cherish this special day and acknowledge the person that brought you into this world. Put aside the anger (if there’s any) and replace it with love. If there is nothing but love for her, make sure you express it today with at least simple phone call or visit. Sometimes the smallest things mean so much. Happy Mothers Day to all of the lovely, caring mothers living and dead.
Check out one of my favorite mother songs by the late 2Pac Shakir entitled “Dear Moma”.

Spike Lee directed Michael Jackson Bad 25th anniversary special (video)
It’s been 25 years since the making of the one of the greatest pop albums of all time (Bad) and perhaps 25 years later, it would still be considered as one of the ultimate classic albums. To many, Thriller may have been Michael Jackson’s best selling album; however, it was Bad that gave MJ the King of Pop title. Michael Jackson was not only a musical influence to many; furthermore. he influenced choreography, dance, fashion, etc.
In this short documentary, Bad 25, directed by the great Spike Lee, fans get to witness unseen footage of Michael’s recording process for his 1987 iconic Bad album as well as be surprised to which songs nearly didn’t make the final cut for the album. Guest appearances includes people who Michael worked with as well as admired, from Martin Scorsese, who directed the Bad video, Siedah Garrett (Man In The Mirror, I Just Can’t Stop Loving You), Quincy Jones (executive producer for Off The Wall, Thriller and Bad), Cee-lo Green, Kanye West, Chris Brown, Questlove, Sheryl Crow (actress and former background vocalist for Michael Jackson), Greg Phillinganes (Michael’s keyboardist), Tatiana Thumbtzen and a list of others.

Game brings in the No Limit boss Master P to remake the classic Heaven for a Gangsta (audio)
Game’s upcoming Jesus Piece album may be one of the greatest hip hop albums of 2012. He compares Jesus Piece to the iconic Dr. Dre’s ‘The Chronic’ album. Is that fair game? Maybe so, maybe not; however, Game got a hell of a lot of collaborations on the album, minus Game’s good friend, Snoop Dogg aka Snoop Lion. In my opinion, that’s the only collaboration missing, because when those two blue and red rappers (Crip & Blood) rappers get together, they MURDER tracks. Yet certain collaborations will indeed stand out, such as “HVN4AGNGSTA,” to which Game called on No Limit Forever Record’s founder and CEO, Master P. to do his infamous Uhhhhh crooning as well as drop a verse on the joint. But get this, the original track is entitled ‘Heaven For a Gangster’, which surfaced on P’s 1997 album entitled Tru Da 2 Game.
“The thing about Game is he’s a hard worker and redoing ‘Heaven for a Gangster’ is magical,” explained P to AllHipHop.com. “He’s from the streets and rededicated his life and I definitely love working with him.”
Below, check out both versions of Heaven for a Gangster (HVN4AGANGSTA).

Rapper Shyne should have thought twice before going on a twitter rant about Kendrick Lamar’s g.o.o.d. kid, m.A.A.d city album, calling it trash because now, them boys in killa Cali got their eye on him saying that he better not step foot on California soil. The first to speak was Nipsey Hussle. Hussle via twitter had these words to say to the now Orthodox Jewish, former Bad Boy Records (Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs) eMcee.
“If Shyne ever make it bac to the states…somebody tell cuz his west coast pass is revoked.,” he tweeted. (Nipsey Hussle’s Twitter)
And if that wasn’t enough, Curren$y of New Orleans jumped in to spit his piece by saying these words: “What did shyne do? I was Watching American dad …. Missed errthang,” Spitta tweeted.
“F*ck no man….. Kendrick sh*t is slappin….”
“Definitely gonna think about that when I ride to those old shyne albums… Bummer man … I like all music that jams” (Curren$y’s Twitter)

“@OriginalSHyne ok mobster/jewisH man ima b quite” (Schoolboy Q’s Twitter)

Lil Kim is ready to Make History: Plastic Surgery Talk
VH1 preparing for the airing of their Behind The Music with Lil Kim aka Queen Bee. The Bed-Stuy Brooklyn, New York feMcee is ready to drop the scoop on her run with plastic surgery that had many fans like WT@#$%. Guessing Behind The Music wouldn’t be worth watching if this matter wasn’t the center of the show, as the world has heard about other things before, such as her relationship with the late Notorious B.I.G., whom was leader of their Junior Mafia crew until Biggie’s March 9, 1997 demise.
See Lil Kim ft. Lil Cease before the plastic surgery make-over in her Crush On You video.

Maybe the trend for 2012 is for rappers to sign LEGENDS to their labels, as Baby & Slim signed Busta Rhymes and Mystikal to their Cash Money Records label and now, Kanye West has signed A Tribe Called Quest’s, Q-Tip. Q-Tip did some production on both Ye’s ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Family’ album as well as the ‘Watch The Throne’ album to which Ye collaborated with Jay Z.

Madonna and Nicki Minaj to share the Super Bowl Halftime Stage with each other
To be quite honest, since the late great King of Pop Michael Jackson rocked the halftime show at Super Bowl XXVII (1993), there has yet to be any other Super Bowl halftime performance that great or have come even close. There has been some good ones and with Madonna rocking the crowd at this years Super Bowl XLVII, the expectations are high. Though she’s the queen, the diva has a lot to prove. And with Nicki Minaj joining her for the 12 minute halftime performance, it gots to be right.
“Super Bowl rehearsals w/the Queen 
—-> RT @HumbleNika: @NICKIMINAJ what does your agenda contain today Nic? 
,” she tweeted January 27th. (Nicki Minaj’s Twitter)
Though Madonna in a recent interview has claimed that there will be no wardrobe malfunction (sans Janet Jackson at XXXVIII), expect for it to be one HOT halftime performance. Whether it will be good or mediocre (which is bad for someone like Madonna), it will be one talked about event.

Snoop Dogg Co-host The Price Is Right
Who would have ever thought in a miillion years that a rapper would be a co-host on one of the most popular game shows of all times? Either the show is dropping in ratings, in jeopardy of getting the boot after 56 years on on air time, or it’s getting cooler. Perhaps the latter is the reason. And guess who it is? Tha Doggfather himself, Bigg Snoop Dogg. That’s right, Snoop joined comedic host Drew Carey to create what is the greatest hip hop-daytime TV collaborations in history. (Huffington Post) Certainly starting the year 20/12 off right. Fo shizzle Dizzle!

Funk legend Sly Stone ‘living in a van’
The economy is jacked up for millions all across America, as many have lost jobs, houses, and even marriages have been destroyed. Particularly African Americans are sufffering the most due to the growing recession of this economy. Yet this doesn’t seems to be the case of funk legend, Sly Slone who is living in a van.
Stone’s matter is possibly due to a state of mind, as he last lost so much money from ‘lavish’ living and not managering his dollars. He also has a history of drug problems.
Despite his housing situation, Stone is still recording music in his van via laptop.
“My music is a format that will encourage you to have a song you won’t forget. That’s why I got so much money, that there are so many people around, and that’s why I am in court. Millions of dollars!” Stone told the Post.
Lets be in prayer for Stone. In the meantime, check out one of Stone’s greatest classic, which was also redid by famous hip hop/neo-soul group, Arrested Development (People Everyday), which version will also appear below.

Tupac Shakur Acting Career
In addition to rapping and hip hop music, Shakur acted did a little acting. He made his first film appearance in the motion picture Nothing But Trouble, as part of a cameo by the Digital Underground. His first starring role was in the film Juice inwhich he played the character Bishop, a trigger happy teen, for which he was hailed by Rolling Stone‘s Peter Travers as “the film’s most magnetic figure.” He went on to star with Janet Jackson in Poetic Justice (for which he was nominated outstanding actor in 1994, but did not win) and with Duane Martin in Above the Rim. After his death, three of Shakur’s completed films, Bullet, Gridlock’d and Gang Related, were released.
He had also been slated to star in the Hughes brothers’ film Menace II Society but was replaced by Larenz Tate after assaulting Allen Hughes as a result of a quarrel. Director John Singleton mentioned that he wrote the script for Baby Boy with Shakur in mind for the leading role. It was eventually filmed with Tyrese Gibson in his place and released in 2001, five years after Shakur’s death. The film features a mural of Shakur in the protagonist‘s bedroom as well as featuring the song “Hail Mary” in the film’s score
