Justin Bieber talks about Lil Wayne

May 7th, 2012 | By love not hate

When Justin Bieber was photographed with Lil Wayne back in February, fans got an insider look at the pair’s shared love for skateboarding. The singer and the Young Money MC were snapped standing on a half-pipe, skateboards in hand, chatting.

On Thursday, Bieber sat down with MTV News to premiere his video for “Boyfriend,” and he shared just how deep the rapper’s love for skating goes.

Justin Bieber Compares His Skateboarding Skills To Lil Wayne’s

“He just hit me the other night,” Bieber said. “I was going to go to his video shoot he had. He was skating here [in Los Angeles]. I was gonna go skate with him, but it was like 4:30 in morning [when] he called me. So it was really too late for that. He’s into skating, like that’s his life.”

When asked to rate his own skills versus Weezy’s, Bieber explained that it’s more complex than that. “I mean, it’s different,” he said. “I like more street stuff. He does a lot of vert stuff. Vert is like ramps and street is like rails and kick flips. [They're] different in their own right.”

After that initial photo of the pair leaked, many fans wondered if it means that Wayne will be spitting some rhymes on Bieber’s new album, Believe, out June 19. “No, he didn’t get the chance to work on the album,” he said. “He’s been super-busy and we just haven’t got the chance to connect in the studio. I was in the studio in Miami for a minute, but we never got the chance to do anything.”

2Chainz Named Spokesman For 2012 “Respect My Vote!” Campaign

May 2nd, 2012 | By love not hate

(AllHipHop News) Atlanta rapper 2 Chainz is teaming with the Hip Hop Caucus for the 2012 2012 “Respect My Vote!” campaign.

The Hip Hop Caucus’ non-partisan effort is aimed at mobilizing young voters between the ages of 18 and 40, registering new voter, and teaching felons about their voting rights.

“It meant so much to me when I learned that I had the right to vote, because I’m an ex-felon, who has been blessed with the opportunity to completely turn my life around and become a positive influence to my family and community. It’s very important that once disenfranchised men and women know they can be a part of American democracy again, they have second chance,“ said 2 Chainz. “I’m honored to be a spokesperson for the 2012 ‘Respect My Vote!’ campaign, and to be a part of a movement where celebrities and the community can work together to promote empowerment through political participation.”

According to Reverend Lennox Yearwood of the Hip Hop Caucus, 2 Chainz was specifically selected for his ability to speak to the “Respect My Vote!” target audience, in an authentic manner.

A broad, national coalition of civic engagement organizations are backing the campaign, which will work to counter misinformation disseminated about felons’ and their rights.

The issue disproportionately impacts over 1.4 African-American males.

“Lives will be changed and lives will be saved because 2 Chainz is using his voice to speak authentically to those who have been disenfranchised,” said Rev. Lennox Yearwood Jr., President and CEO of the Hip Hop Caucus. “2 Chainz is serious about empowering ex-felons to exercise their right to vote, and I’m so sincerely and deeply proud to be able to show the world that this is what democracy looks like.”

Jennifer Hudson’s sister’s ex-husband threatened her family AT LEAST 10 times before

April 27th, 2012 | By love not hate

Another witness agrees with Jennifer Hudson’s testimony that her sister’s jealous ex-husband threatened to kill her whole family.

A friend of Julia Hudson, the slain sister of Oscar-winning actress Jennifer, told a Chicago court that William Balfour confided that he though Julia was cheating on him.

‘If I find out she’s cheating on me, I’m gonna (expletive) her and him up,’ Balfour allegedly told Julia Hudson’s friend Robbin Myers.

Trial: William Balfour is on trial accused of murdering Jennifer Hudson’s mother Darnell Donerson, older brother Jason and nephew Julian King

This is not the first time that he had threatened to kill members of the Hudson family, and prosecutors today said that he had done so at least 10 times in this single conversation with Ms Myers.

In October 2008, Hudson’s mother Darnell Hudson Donerson, her brother Jason Hudson, and Julia’s seven-year-old son Julian were all found murdered.

Sisters Julia and Jennifer Hudson have been in the courtroom since the trial started on Monday.

Ms Myers’ said that when he told her this plan, at an August 2008 birthday party, he raised his arms in agitation and she saw a gun held at his waist.

Lawyers argue that Balfour had stolen the gun from Jason Hudson, who he went on to call ‘that fat ass’.

Burden: Michele Davis-Balfour, mother of William Balfour, is seen during a break in her son’s trial at the Cook County Criminal Courthouse today

The Chicago Tribune detailed the testimony of Ms Myers, giving more insight into the mind of Balfour. Ms Meyers recalled seeing him lying in wait outside of the bus company office where she and Julia Hudson worked just days before the murders.

When Ms Myers saw him walking into the office with the handgun strapped to his waist, she repeatedly honked her car horn effectively stopping ‘what he was about to do’.

Given their prior conversations, Ms Myer was convinced that Balfour was on the hunt for a co-worker with whom he suspected Julia was having a relationship.

The story was just one of many disparaging character portrayals of Balfour in court on Thursday, as the jury learned about a number of his infidelities during his marriage to Julia.

One of his former girlfriends, Diana Grant, told the court how she began dating Balfour in 2007, and carried on doing so even after she learned that he had a wife and at least one other girlfriend on the side.

Ms Grant told how she had spent the night before the murders with Balfour but he left the apartment around 6am.

Prosecutors believe that is when he went to the Hudson home and allegedly killed Julia’s mother and brother in an effort to hurt her, from whom he was separated from at the time.

He then took Julia’s son Julian with him when he supposedly left the house, drove from the home in Chicago’s notorious South Side over to the West Side before allegedly shooting the boy.

Balfour was arrested later that night at the apartment of a different girlfriend, who Ms Grant denied knowing about at the time.

Ms Myers’ testimony was echoed by what Julia has previously told the court, when she described Balfour as extremely jealous.

‘He said, ”If you leave me, you will be the last to die. l’ll kill your family first,”‘ Julia told the court.

During Jennifer Hudson’s testimony earlier this week, she shared her negative views of her sister’s ex, saying that she had always tried to dissuade Julia from ever being involved with Balfour, who Jennifer had known since middle school.

‘None of us wanted her to marry him,’ she said, her voice cracking and struggling to hold back tears.

‘None of us – myself, my mother, or my brother  – we did not like how he treated her, and I didn’t like how he treated my nephew.

‘I would tell her (Julia) over and over again not to marry William.’

Pitbull is back! New single for Men IN Black 3

April 27th, 2012 | By love not hate

The blockbuster-to-be “Men in Black III” hits theaters May     25, but fans already have a theme song to the movie in      Pitbull‘s single “Back in     Time.” The superstar told us at the      Billboard Latin Music Conference that he     has embraced the opportunity to be a part of the film, and is     looking to Will Smith as a “blueprint” on how to transition     from music to the big screen and beyond.

“It’s an honor, it’s a blessing. More than a movie, it’s a     business, it’s a franchise,” Pitbull told Billboard. “So to be     able to study what they’ve got going on… I was down in     Cancun for the upfront, with Will (Smith), Josh (Brolin), with     Tommy (Lee Jones) being an amazing actor. I’m not only studying     the franchise, I’m also studying Will.”

Pitbull goes on, calling Will the “blueprint of being     someone who went from music to movies, and movies to being an     entrepreneur.”

“Back in Time” is fast climbing the Hot 100, ratcheting up     to No. 65 from 83 last week and landing at No. 23 on Pop Songs.     “It looks like it’ll be a top 10 record within a couple weeks,     with God’s help,” he said.

After “Back in Time” runs its course, Pitbull tells us he’ll     release “Get It Started,” a collaboration with Shakira. This     summer, he’ll unleash his seventh album, “Global Warming,” a     title he explains is because “we’ve been here for years, which     is the same thing” as climate change.

Earlier at the Billboard Latin Music Conference, Pitbull     touched on legal battles with former label TVT, his multiple     branding deals, and his ascent to becoming the global superstar     that he is today, based on the premise that the music industry     is “90 percent business, 10 percent talent.”

Nicki Minaj’s ‘Roman Reloaded’ Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200

April 12th, 2012 | By love not hate

Nicki Minaj scores her     second No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 as “Pink Friday: Roman     Reloaded” debuts atop the list with 253,000 copies sold,     according to Nielsen SoundScan. That’s a slightly     better-than-expected sales figure, as industry sources had     suggested last week that the album was on course for a launch     somewhere in the 215,000 to 235,000 range.

 

It follows her debut studio set, “Pink Friday,” which     climbed to No. 1 on the Feb. 19, 2011 chart, just as her “Super     Bass” single was taking off. “Pink Friday” bowed at No. 2 on     the chart dated Dec. 11, 2010 with 375,000 sold according to     Nielsen SoundScan. (Its big debut was fueled by Christmas     shopping as the album bowed during Thanksgiving week.)

“Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded” is not a reissue of the     original “Pink Friday” album — despite its confusing title.     It’s an all-new release, led by its official first single     “Starships.” The track has already sailed to No. 5 on the     Billboard Hot 100.

 

The album that “Roman Reloaded” replaces,      Madonna‘s “MDNA,” falls to     No. 8 with 48,000 (down 86.7%) It debuted at No. 1 last week     with 359,000. Its steep drop is the largest second-week     percentage decline for a No. 1-debuting album since Nielsen     SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991.
It surpasses the record set by      Lady Gaga‘s “Born This     Way,” when it fell 84.27% in its second week on the chart dated     June 18, 2011. “Born This Way” bowed the previous frame at No.     1 with 1.11 million, and then sold 174,000 in its second week     at the top of the chart.
Focusing our attention on the rest of the top 10 this week,     Minaj’s “Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded” is one of four debuts in     the region. Next up in terms of debuts is      Rascal Flatts‘     “Changed,” which starts in the No. 3 slot with 130,000. It’s     the country group’s eighth top 10 on the Billboard 200 and     seventh No. 1 on the Country Albums chart. Their last album,     2010′s “Nothing Like This” (its Big Machine debut after a     career on Lyric Street), bowed at No. 6 with 165,000.

 

Rascal Flatts Turn Around ‘Marriage Gone Bad,’         Emerge ‘Changed’

 

Sandwiched between Minaj and Rascal Flatts is      Adele‘s “21″ album, which     rises one spot to No. 2 with 153,000 (up 26%).      Lionel Richie‘s     “Tuskegee” falls two rungs to No. 4 with 95,000 (down 52%) and      One Direction‘s “Up     All Night” is up one to No. 5 with 92,000 (up 98%). Credit the     latter’s big gain to their performances on “Saturday Night     Live” (April 7) and Nickelodeon’s “Kids’ Choice Awards” (Apr.     1), plus gift-giving sales generated the Easter holiday (Apr.     8).
At No. 6, rock band      Of Monsters and     Men‘s debut album “My Head Is An Animal” starts with     55,000. The set’s single “Little Talks” rises 11-6 on the     Alternative Songs airplay chart this week.
“The Hunger Games” soundtrack slips 5-7 with 50,000 (down 22%)     and      Shinedown‘s “Amaryllis”     slides 4-10 with 36,000 (down 66%).
Gospel singer      Marvin Sapp is the     final bow in the top 10, debuting at No. 9 with “I Win”     (37,000). His last studio set, 2010′s “Here I Am,” debuted and     peaked at No. 2 with 76,000.
Over on the Digital Songs chart,      fun.‘s “We Are Young”     (featuring      Janelle Monae)     regains the No. 1 slot (up one) with 390,000 (up 7%) while last     week’s leader,      Justin Bieber‘s     “Boyfriend,” falls to No. 3 with a still-big 295,000 (down     43%).
Meanwhile,      Gotye‘s “Somebody That I Used     to Know” (featuring Kimbra) climbs 3-2 (311,000; up 28%).
Thanks to a red-hot song in “We Are Young,” Bieber’s huge     debut last week, and then Easter weekend sales, the Digital     Songs chart’s top two both sell 300,000 for the first time in     successive weeks outside of the Christmas season.
One Direction’s “What Makes You Beautiful” is up one to No. 4     (294,000; up 48%) and Nicki Minaj’s “Starships” slips 4-5     despite a gain (232,000; up 14%).
Carly Rae     Jepsen‘s “Call Me Maybe” moves 7-6 (216,000; up 19%), the      Wanted‘s “Glad You Came”     climbs 8-7 (209,000; up 24%) and      Flo Rida‘s “Wild Ones”     (featuring Sia) falls 6-8 (198,000; up 8%).
Katy Perry‘s “Part Of     Me” is up one to No. 9 (138,000; up 13%) and      Kelly Clarkson‘s     “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)” slips one to No. 10     (137,000; up less than 1%).
Overall album sales in this past chart week (ending April 8)     totaled 6.40 million units, up 4% compared to the sum last week     (6.16 million) and up 9% compared to the comparable sales week     of 2011 (5.87 million). Year to date album sales stand at 84.23     million, up 1% compared to the same total at this point last     year (83.69 million).
Digital track sales this past week totaled 29.12 million     downloads, up 9% compared to last week (26.68 million) and up     26% stacked next to the comparable week of 2011 (23.17     million). Year to date track sales are at 390.44 million, up 8%     compared to the same total at this point last year (362.28     million).
Next week’s Billboard 200 competes with the same week in 2011     when:      Foo Fighters‘ “Wasting     Light” gave the band its first No. 1 album, debuting in the top     slot with 235,000. The previous week’s leader, Adele’s “21,”     fell to No. 2 with 93,000 (up 5%).
