They year 2010 is halfway over and is a mark of a whole new decade and as we turn from the 2000s and even further from the 1990s it is always a good idea to take a look back. Do you all remember the Rap City Freestyles that kicked off during BET afternoon series that everyone used to tune in to. It was great to catch your favorite rappers in the "booth", and catch them making raw music. In this featured Rap City booth session the Cash Money Miilionaires are highlghted and this was from the early in year 2000.
Lil Wayne, Baby, and Juvenile all go hard on the beat in this Rap City In The Basement Freestyle.
And since the Atlanta Brave are on a tear in the MLB right now, it only takes true Braves fans back to the 1990s. Back then when the city of Atlanta had Deion Sanders playing for both the Atlanta Braves and Atlanta Falcons. It was only right for "PrimeTime" to be signed to Nike, release dope sneakers, and make classic commercials with jewelry on. This commercial dates back 1993... God I miss the 90s. These Nike Air Diamond Turf Trainers are releasing this June so stay tuned...
And of course its only right to show where sneaker commercials are heading in 2010 and the years to come. So check out the latest commercial from Sneaker Me Stupid featuring the Air Jordan VI - InfraRed Pack.
LIFE OF A LOVER. Saturday Sneaker Releases from Sneaker Me Stupid on Vimeo.
Enjoy, all three videos !! Just a little flashback...Posted: 2010-07-03 14:09:55

tyler perry, I'm not suing the boondocks
Tuesday, 06 July 2010 16:34
Looks like there is not going to be a Tyler Perry – Aaron McGruder standoff in court. Darn. 'The Boondocks' episode that everyone is STILL talking about attempted to demolish Perry’s image by highlighting every rumor and negative nuance that surrounds his work in theatre and film. Entertainment Weekly gave a pretty good description of the episode in case you missed it:
The “Pause” episode’s Ma Duke character was clearly Madea, and it stands to reason that the Winston Jerome character was Tyler Perry (neither Perry’s office nor Turner Networks would comment on the episode). Jerome’s works were portrayed as poorly written and almost buffoonish and set him up as a closeted, cultish leader, who created his Ma Duke empire as a way to solicit sex with men. In the episode, Huey and Riley’s grandpa gets cast in Jerome’s new play, “Ma Duke Gets a Man.” First he’s asked to kiss Ma Duke on stage, then Jerome asks him straight out for sex.

serena williams excepting her massive butt & her break up with common
Tuesday, 06 July 2010 16:34
It’s hard to imagine Serena Williams not absolutely loving her strong, curvy body, but in the August issue of Harper's Bazaar, she reveals that she’s a regular woman just like the rest of us. She admits to the mag, which hits stands on July 20th, she used to covet her sister’s (Venus) model-esque body shape. "I'm super-curvy. I have big boobs and this massive butt. She's tall and she's like a model and she fits everything. I was growing up, wanting to be her, wanting to look like her, and I was always fitting in her clothes, but then one day I couldn’t. But it’s fine. Now I’m obviously good, but it’s a weird thing. . . . To this day, I don’t love my arms. People want more fit arms, but my arms are too fit. But I’m not complaining. They pay my bills."

hipcouple:reggie bush and amber rose ?!
Tuesday, 06 July 2010 16:34
Lawd have mercy! Reggie Bush was spotted “hanging out” with Amber Rose (Yes, ‘Ye’s Amber) over the weekend, and you know all hell has broke loose over the sighting. Kanye and Amber allegedly broke up some time ago, but have still been seen canoodling all over the globe. We all already know that Reggie is no longer with Kim Kardashian, so the question on everyone’s mind was a frantic, ‘What’s going on here!?’ The pair was seen “getting cozy” at AXE lounge in Southhampton over the weekend. It is even alleged that they took “bathroom breaks” together. You’ve got to be kidding me!

Katherine Jackson -- The Buck Stops Here
Katherine Jackson -- The Buck Stops Here
Originally posted Jun 28th 2010 12:50 AM PDT by TMZ Staff
Katherine Jackson has a problem she may not realize -- while she's raking money in from various Michael Jackson businesses, the judge in the MJ estate case could shut her out of a huge monthly allowance the MJ estate has been providing.
TMZ first reported ... Katherine and Joe Jackson sponsored a ritzy Michael Jackson event at the Beverly Hilton Hotel Saturday night -- with tickets going as high as $500 a pop -- and if there are profits, we're told some of that will line her pocket.
And then there's the book she's hawking -- "Never Can Say Goodbye" -- co-authored by Howard Mann, who made a fortune off of nude online gambling.
Mann tells us he's going into other businesses with Katherine as well. Roger Friedman from Showbiz411.com says he's seen a contract between Mann and Katherine which guarantees her $10,000 a month for promoting a book in the works, "The Katherine Jackson Story." Mann claims Katherine will net $10 mil from the book.
Now here's the problem ... When the judge in the Michael Jackson estate case signed off on Katherine getting more than $26,000 a month, it was based on need. If she's making money on the side -- especially making money off her late son -- it's likely the judge will no longer see the need to fill Katherine's wallet.
So it's coming down to a "Let's Make a Deal" decision. Katherine, do you want door #1 or door #2?
BREAKING DOWN: Kanye West's BET AWARDS Performance Look
Last night, one of music's most controversial men stood atop a mountain and professed "No one man should have all this POWER," wearing a red fitted Dior suit and a HUGE chain around his bare chest.
Opening the 10th annual BET Awards, fans and colleagues sung along as Kanye West resurfaced and further proved his lasting ability and star power. As I sang along to the "Power" anthem I was in awe that the 5 foot 8inch Kanye West was able to remain rooted in his position without toppling over due to the massive neck adornment he wore. But as I watched the performance which seemed to lack a climax, I became obsessed with the chain and huge pyramid double finger ring he wore! Determine to find out WHO, WHAT, and WHERE, I found the inside track on the neck piece/ring by HORACE and decided to share it with you all!
Lindsay Lohan's Ex Assistants -- They're Baaaaack!
Sources close to Lindsay Lohan tell TMZ her new assistant just didn't cut it -- and not one, but two of her ex assistants are angling to come back.
We're told the new guy "couldn't keep up" and he (pictured 2nd) and LiLo have already parted ways. We're told Eleonore (pictured 3rd), the assistant who quit two weeks ago, wants her gig back because she needs to pay her bills and can't afford to be sidelined any longer.
But get this -- Lindsay's assistant from her glory days, Jenni (pictured 4th), is also interested in an encore. We're told the job pays waaaaaaaaaay less than it did back in the day, but Jenni is also in dire need of work.
Oh ... Jenni and Eleonore happen to be roommates. Awk-ward!
Unofficial MJ Memorial -- Katherine in the House!
The Forever Michael Memorial that went down last night didn't have the blessing of Michael Jackson's estate or his brother Randy, but it did have the support of his mother Katherine.
The matriarch of the Jackson clan was in attendance at the Beverly Hilton last night -- our spies say Katherine, Tito Jackson and one of Randy's daughters were the only Jackson family members that were there.
We're told the place looked about "half empty" and the only celebs our sources saw were Mickey Rooney, Corey Feldman and Eddie Griffin.
As for food and drinks -- the menu consisted of a choice of salmon or steak and domestic beer could be purchased for $8.50, wine for $10.
Not exactly fit for a King.
Oksana: Mel Gibson Knocked My Teeth Out

Sources close to Oksana Grigorieva tell TMZ ... Mel Gibson punched her in the face and knocked out her teeth in a fit of rage.
Sources connected with Gibson have told TMZ the actor did not get violent with Oksana during their January 6 confrontation, although they admit things did get physical. A source connected with Oksana, however, says, "Mel and his camp are spinning the facts in a desperate attempt to protect his reputation."
Sources in Oksana's camp say Mel's people are lying when they say she shook the baby. Instead, the sources say, "She tried to protect the baby during one of Gibson's violent episodes when he punched Oksana in the face two times, breaking her teeth and giving her a concussion."
As one source put it, "She tried to protect his reputation, depsite her fears of him and his verbal and physical abuse." And the source goes on, "She regrets having believed in his empty promises to obtain professional help to control his violent nature."
TMZ broke the story ... Oksana obtained a restraining order against Gibson last Monday, which prohibits him from coming within 100 yards of her.
Oksana's attorneys would not comment about the case, but did say, "The true facts will be brought out in a court of law. Oksana will continue to abide by the ethical obligations and rules arising from a confidential paternity action and will let the court decide the issue in this matter."

Better Late Than Never? Oprah To Finally Receive Star On Walk Of Fame
Better Late Than Never? Oprah To Finally Receive Star On Walk Of Fame |
Sunday, 20 June 2010 18:33 |
Wow, after almost 25 years of hosting a top talk show, creating a magazine, starring in and producing films and helping to get the first African-American President elected to office, Oprah Winfrey is finally receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! While congratulations are in order, I'm more inclined to say "it's about time!" And Oprah isn't the only one being honored, will.i.am, Bebe and Cece Winans and Tina Fey are among the 30 celebrities to receive stars on the "Walk". “It was not an easy job to winnow down the extra large number of nominations this year to reach these 30 names,” said John Pavlik, chair of the Hollywood Walk of Fame Committee, “and many deserving names were left for future consideration. But the placement of stars for these famous celebrities will give fans and tourists some fun and exciting close encounters next year." After the jump, check out the Walk of Fame's full list of 2011 recipients... |

Posted by: Drew Sidora Yes it's none other than wonderful me again my Global Grindkateers!!! I can't help but notice a trend that is starting to take place in the media, in my personal adventures, and even in my business life. For some reason it seems that it is becoming "ok" for these dudes to put their hands on women! When a man openly films himself assaulting a woman or even when we watch something like the esteemed Angela Basset play Tina Turner in "What's Love Got to Do With It", we need to remind not only these men but OURSELVES that this type of behavior is not ok in any way shape or form. I recently visited women that reside in a Battered Women's Home. Ladies, I was crushed listening to their stories about the ongoing mental and physical abuse and how hard they are now fighting to put their lives back together. Number ONE - no woman should ever feel that she "deserved" to be hit. I don't care how far we push, how much we might yell, or how much taunting we might do in a situation. A real man that loves you will walk away from you before he puts his hands on you. Period. And I'm not saying that it's ok for us to hit a man either, remember ladies unless you are weight training, boxing, or studying martial arts - plain and simple most men are just physically stronger. I need us as women to develop our emotional and mental self esteem to the point that we KNOW we have VALUE and if he cheats, lies, is dis-respectful or makes us feel any less than our worth - WE ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO WALK AWAY. ::PAGE:: I am so tired of watching these men be protective over their cars, or their shoes, their jewelry, even their dogs!! And yet they will blatantly act as though we aren't worthy of protecting. We let them get away with not realizing our true value and its time we stop devaluing ourselves. Ladies I am worth so much that a man better not even raise his voice at me, even if we are having a disagreement AND I'm in the wrong. We can have a disagreement - we can be mad but as soon as I feel disrespected it's a wrap. And no, I'm not crazy I just know I HAVE VALUE and I will accept nothing less!! - Drew Sidora - Click Here to Follow Me on Twitter! Posted: 2010-06-15 16:26:03 |
Luke Campbell Publicly Disowns Children
Luke Campbell Publicly Disowns Children |
Thursday, 24 June 2010 17:06 |
Luke “Uncle Luke Campbell is an extraordinary example of a father. He’s publicly disowned all but one of his five children via a radio show. Daughter Lecretia Campbell had some harsh words for her father earlier this month, when she blasted the Miami rapper for physically abusing her mother, being a deadbeat and not claiming the rest of his children. If you remember, Lecretia was featured on Luke’s Parental Advisory reality show (along with the rest of his kids). He recently spoke to Nnete and Mad Hatta from Houston's 97.9 The Box and openly referred to his remaining four children as “sperm donating kids”. *blank stare* The only child he claimed was Blake Campbell, his son with his current wife. Blake appears to be no older than one. Of course he’ll still claim him. He’s not old enough to put your antics on blast, huh? He went on to refer to his daughter as a “devil.” Ugh, it’s just too much. Flip it to listen to the ridiculous interview. |
Lady Gaga Shows Soft Side In Rolling Stone
Lady Gaga Shows Soft Side In Rolling Stone |
Thursday, 24 June 2010 17:26 |
Posted by: LaLaLauren Lady Gaga appears on the cover of the newest of Rolling Stone, wearing her usual uniform of a black bra and panties, with a pair of machine guns slung over her shoulders. In her interview she reveals a softer, less theatrical Gaga, showing her fans her vulnerable side.She said, “When I wake up in the morning, I feel just like any other insecure 24-year-old girl. Then I say, ‘B*tch, you’re Lady Gaga, you get up and walk the walk today.’” It’s amazing to believe that Lady Gaga, the woman who feels comfortable leaving the house wearing nothing but a Yankees shirt over her underwear, wakes up in the morning feeling anything less than confident. That underneath all of the fake blood, crazy headdresses, and Alexander McQueen shoes, Lady Gaga is still just a 21st century girl. ::PAGE:: The plight of the 21st century girl has been a topic of discussion for years now. She battles with unrealistic expectations of beauty, constantly comparing herself to photoshopped images of models and actresses, while still striving for financial success. Her life is an open book that anyone can read via Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr, making even her most embarrassing moments public, rather she likes it or not. She wants to be Lady Gaga, Michelle Obama and Taylor Swift, all rolled into one. She has it hard. Lady Gaga receives a lot of criticism for her avant-garde, Madonna-esque videos, and her habit of walking around in public, wearing next to nothing. However, this one quote, that brings both her fans and critics back to reality, that she is still just an “insecure 24-year-old girl,” could be the perfect thing to grow her fan base. ::PAGE:: Although her stage antics may cause some people to judge her harshly, Lady Gaga is devoted to giving her fans a fantasy. She said, “If I were to ever, God forbid, get hurt onstage and my fans were screaming outside of the hospital, waiting for me to come out, I’d come out as Gaga.” “Michael got burned, and he lifted that glittered glove so damn high so his fans could see him, because he was in the art of show business. That’s what we do. I don’t even drink water onstage in front of anybody, because I want them to focus on the fantasy of the music,” says Lady Gaga, citing the late Michael Jackson as her inspiration for giving her fans what they want. The knowledge that Lady Gaga, the woman whose latest outrageous act is seen everywhere, has moments of weakness is reassuring. It gives that 21st century girl hope. Posted: 2010-06-22 09:36:50 |

We're pretty sure Will.I.Am let out a little more than an "O.M.G" when he discovered his insanely priced sportscar...a Bentley to be exact, was jacked late last night in Hollywood. According to TMZ, the hitmaker was on his way home from shaking his groove thang and was surprised to find his car had been broken into and over $10,000 worth of jewelry was stolen. Lucky for Will, most of his possessions have been retrieved from the bad guys but let this be a lesson to you uber rich folks out there...get a driver! And to you crappy criminals, I have a tune for you..."Bad Boys, Bad Boys. What ya gonna do? What ya gonna do when they come for you?!" |

Jamie Foxx Comes to Drake's Rescue! |
Saturday, 26 June 2010 21:23 |
Jamie Foxx has it in for sound engineers. After Drake’s Better Than Good Enough documentary highlighted a horrible performance in Atlanta (due to horrible sound), he had some bad luck in front of a much more important audience. The Thank Me Later rapper recently performed (or tried to) at Bao Steakhouse in L.A. as part of a promotional event. Among the star-studded crowd were Jamie Foxx and Zoe Saldana. Halfway through Drake’s performance, the sound faded , leaving Drake in silence and halting the entire show. Jamie Foxx stomped over to the sound engineer to find out what happened and sources confirm that he "went nuts on the guy working in the sound booth". It just reminded us of when we attended Jamie’s ‘Unpredictable’ tour in Chicago. His sound was distorted during certain parts of the show and he was livid! The sound guys got an earful of angry expletives backstage. Jamie doesn’t play when it comes to sound! But look at Drake having Academy Award winning folks coming to his rescue! If you remember, Drake is featured on Jamie Foxx's 'Digital Girl' remix. The two are music buds. |

Nicki Minaj is "Showin You B*tches How To Do It" |
Tuesday, 20 April 2010 02:38 |
Posted by: ImGlobalNow From Eve, to Khia and even Jackie-O, so many women in the game have some interesting things to say about rap’s new “it” girl Nicki Minaj. Call it love, confusion or just plain hate there are more opinions about this MC than a little bit and VIBE.com has featured them all (see “Related Stories” below). Vibe recently caught up with Nicki Minaj who had some interesting advice for the non-Nicki fans, what she loved about her “Massive Attack” video and her plan to focus more on her music: “I work hard but I feel like I have a lot of work to do. Right now, I’m about to sit back and focus on my music.” “When people there is one person getting shine it makes them feel unhappy with themselves, the small minded people feel unhappy. The intelligent girls take the things that they like from me and my journey and apply it to their journey. If I had it my way that’s what they’d all do.” |
DIDDY DROPS IN ON LIL WAYNE
Monday, 03 May 2010 16:37 |
Posted by: ImGlobalNow Lil Wayne may be doing some time in prison, but that doesn't mean he can't make big things happen. He's allowed to have visitors while in jail, and it looks like one of the biggest names in music and entertainment took some time out to visit him. According to the New York Daily News, Bad Boy Records CEO and Sean John founder, Diddy, took to Riker's to visit the Young Money general. Puff apparently got in the public bus like everyone else to go visit Weezy, and the two chopped it up for an hour. With the rumors of Nicki Minaj being managed by Diddy, I'm sure Diddy told Weezy he was holding Nicki down. Hopefully when Weezy gets out, him and Puff will have some big things planned.
