J. Cole Speaks On Album Leak & Freestyles Over "Otis" and "Ima Boss"

If you haven't heard already, J. Cole's Cole World: The Sideline Story leaked on the Internet last night. Noooo, I'm not going to give you a link.  In a recent interview with Vibe, J. Cole addressed his feelings on regarding a link prophetic sort of way, since the interview is a week old.  He made some good points, and seems to have a positive outlook on the leak.

Got Beef? Ray J vs. Fabolous

What a day, what a day.  When I arose from the Otis yell alarm clock on my Macbook, I had no idea that Twitter was going to bless Black America this morning with a jewel as precious as this.  Rumors of an altercation between Ray J and Fabolous in Vegas circulated last night, and I had to follow the story so that I could this spread foolishness and f*ckery to all of those who enter the world of Gangstas Use Emoticons.  I decided to wait until both Ray J and Fabolous spoke their peace so I could recap everything all at once.

Apparently, Ray J didn't take it lightly when Fabolous and Kevin Hart made a few jokes on Twitter about Ray J's cameo on Floyd Mayweather's recent documentary that premiered on HBO.  Read Fab's tweets and get the rest of the recap after the jump!

New Music: Miranda Brooke - Hater

New Music Video: Musiq Soulchild - Yes

Musiq Soulchild always knows how to make a video that makes my sensitive a*s cry.  In the music video to "Yes," Musiq stands by his girlfriend (portrayed by Jasmine Burke) after learning that she has breast cancer.  Watch further as Musiq, the real life ambassador for Susan G. Komen for the Cure Circle of Promise, takes things a step further and walks down the aisle. Gotta love music with a message.



Musiq Soulchild's sixth album, MUSIQINTHEMAGIQ, is in stores NOW.
