Lil Snupe

I come to you guys with sadness. Addarren La'Keith Ross known by his rap name 'Lil Snupe', was shot and killed by Tony Holden on June 20th, 2013. Lil Snupe was from Jonesboro Louisiana and was signed to one of my favorite artists Meek Mills dream chaser label. Lil Snupe was known as a freestyle King with a flow and delivery that was not like any other. Snupe celebrated his last and final birthday on June 13th, 2013 where he turned 18 and lived for exactly a week. His untimely death touched me deeply because I am fan of his music. Although I can not identify with everything that he raps about, I can identify with the pain and the hunger that I hear in his music which I find to be amazing and powerful. Lil Snupe will be greatly missed by fans, family and friends. He may have not been an A list celebrity but he has touched the lives of many A list celebrities. For example P diddy, Currency, Meek Mill, Louie V Gutta, K'Smith DJ Khaled, Chief Keef, Ace hood, Rick Ross, Wale, ASAP Rocky, Chris Brown, Karen Civil and many others have tweeted respect and mourned his death. I can not imagine the feeling and the pain his mother and family endured throughout this process and time. I respect real music and real aritsts and will make sure his name lives on in some way.  Lil Snupe a protégé of Meek Mill, Mill said that Snupe reminded him of himself. More updates about Addarren Ross (Lil Snupe) to come with details surrounding his case. Snupes' mom stated on instagrams no RIPS just #longlivesnupe.

2013 Graduates

Graduation time is one of the best moments of someone's life. May 2013 & June 2013 many of you graduated from Middle School, High School, College, Grad School and many different technical schools. As a 2013 graduate myself I congratulate all of you. It has been a long haul through college and after four years I am done. Graduation time for college students is when you break out into the real world if you are not already out there. For High Schools students many of you are on your way to college and or trade school. You may feel as though you are an adult and finally on your own. But, pay attention to your freshman year and work hard. Work hard now so you can relax later. Make yourself proud by accomplishing the reason you are in college.

Ushers interview with Oprah

So Oprah had a sit down with Mr. Raymond on "The Next Chapter" talking about his custody battle, marriage with Tameka and his mom as his manager. Usher sugar coated and talked around each question barley answering it. Oprah had to keep asking the same question and rephrasing it to get a direct answer out of him. The whole picture he painted of how Tameka could not handle his lifestyle and that he should of listened to people when they told him not marry her. Hmm I was always told never regret something that once made you happy. Now don't get me wrong people change but there is a right and wrong way too handle things. A messy custody battle is never good for the kids l; children know both parents of they are around and in sane mind. My heart really goes out to Tameka after just loosing a son and then a judge granting primary custody to your ex husband. I know the pain must be there. Although I do not know all the details as of what happened in the marriage, I still feel as though it should not be talked about publicly. I am a firm believer in keep certain things to yourself. Usher states he never wanted to talk about it open but chose to do it this one time and he hopes his kids could look back and watch this someday. I think that is absolutely crazy problems between him and
Tameka should not be portrayed like that for the kids to one day see. I am a fan of Usher but after watching this interview I am in no way supportive of his lifestyle I look at him differently. His voice will always be beautiful and hopefully him and Tameka works out
a way for this all to go away for the sake of the kids.

Chris brown new tat

So Mr. Breezy got a new tattoo and everyone is speculating that it is the face of Rihanna. Maybe after being digitally enhanced , talked about and passed around it may look like Rihanna's once bruised face. But is everything Chris Brown does going to be under a microscope. I am not the biggest Breezy fan at all! But enough is enough. He can't control his anger and he does random shit that probably the average sane person wouldn't
do;but it's him. And if he is that stupid and that rude to tattoo her bruised face then he is as stupid and ridiculous as everyone makes him out too
be.

President Obama responds to Nicki Minaj

A couple weeks ago when the public got hold of Nicki Minaj line in "Mercy," featured labelmate Lil Wayne's new mixtape, Minaj states in her line "I'm a Republican voting for Mitt Romney/You lazy bitches is f---ing up the economy."

Of course a lot of people went crazy when they heard this they could not
believe that Minaj would endorse Romney. Many of us have our political views on who should vote or side with certain political parties. But in recent news the president addressed
Nicki Minaj's statement.

"I don't think [Sasha, 11, and Malia, 14] really listen to Nicki Minaj that much," he shared. He is not sure exactly what they listen to. "But let's face it, they are now hipper than me."
As for Minaj's rapped "endorsement", "Yeah, I'm not sure that's exactly what happened. She likes to play different characters," he explained.

Nicki Minaj and her Barbz were quick to respond to the president.
