Drake Sued By ‘Ex’ Over “Marvin’s Room”

The Urban Daily — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 19:19:08 +0000

Drake had the internet going nuts over the summer with his hit, “Marvin’s Room.” The track might be the source of a big headache. The Canadian rapper is being sued by a woman named Ericka Lee. She claims she is the female voice on “Marvin’s Room” and hasn’t been compensated for her contribution. According to Lee, Drake acknowledged her part through text messages. The alleged messages read “U basically made that song” and “It’s sh*t without you.” Ericka Lee filed a claim back in July.

We all know about Cash Money’s track record with paying contributors, so good luck getting that money!

Azealia Banks Comes Out The Closet As Bisexual!

The Urban Daily — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:11:38 +0000

Hip-Hop is an arena where homophobia is commonplace. There hasn’t been a rapper with wide mainstream success to come out as gay or bisexual. It looks like the gay community might have a hip-hop representative in Azealia Banks. She has been hailed as The Next Big Thing and in a recent interview with The New York Times, Banks was quoted saying:

“Ms. Banks considers herself bisexual, but, she said: “I’m not trying to be, like, the bisexual, lesbian rapper. I don’t live on other people’s terms.’”

Although Azealia Banks doesn’t want to be the poster child for bisexuality in hip-hop, if she blows up the way tastemakers are predicting, she just might be thrust into the role. The question is will she be able to handle it? Only time will tell.

FACT OF THE DAY: Nas Was Born In Brooklyn

Atlanta's Hottest Hip Hop — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:08:14 +0000

When you think about MCs from Queens,NY one of the first names that comes to mind is Nasir Jones. His style and lyrics were cultivated in the famous Queens Bridge Housing projects and for years he as served as a proud ambassador of the Q-Boro. Nas even returned to his old stomping grounds to record is latest video, “Nasty.” However, Nas wasn’t actually born in Queens.

Take A Tour Of Nas’ Birthplace

The prolific Virgo was born in Brooklyn Jewish Hospital on September 14, 1973. According to his father, Olu Dara, a young Nas cut his musical chops on the streets of BK.

“I thought that he would become a great trumpeter because he was playing to audiences in the streets of Brooklyn when he was three or four,” he told The Source magazine in an August 2004 cover story. “He used to draw a lot of crowds [on Eastern Parkway]. It was fascinating to me. But his lip was becoming distorted so I made him quit. I remember him being very disappointed when I told him to stop playing.”

Needless to say Nas has done ok without the trumpet. But maybe it’s something he’ll pass it down to his son, Knight.

Maria More — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:57:34 +0000

I’m sure lots of folks would agree that we have Denver Broncos QB, Tim Tebow to thank for the heightened awareness of spirituality in football. Well, add NY Giants Defensive Tackle, Chris Canty to the list of “believers.” His previous injuries had his status to play in the Super Bowl questionable but the DL insists he has been “healed.”

Chris Canty said:

“We understand that God gave us these tremendous talents and abilities to glorify his name on the biggest stage of sports in the world. We have an opportunity to perform at a high level and give God all the glory to bless us with that platform. I’m tremendously honored, and I feel blessed to have the pastor pray for me.”

“He Out That Ring On It, & Then I Put That Thang On It”- Tamar “BFV” [RECAP]

Hello Beautiful — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:30:36 +0000

Marriage problems. Those two words pretty much sum up last night’s entire episode of “Braxton Family Values”. Ironically, Tamar and Vince head to Chicago to speak at a relationship seminar, but argue the whole way there. They both get on each other’s nerves as Vince tells Tamar that they’re moving in a few weeks which leaves Tamar in a frenzy with no time to plan…well..anything. Vince tells Tamar to let him handle everything and not to worry about it. “He’s in the dog house,” Tamar tells cameras.

Back in Atlanta, Trina and her band go out for a couple drinks but with Trina, a couple drinks always turns into a drunken night. Trina feels like she’s had one too many, and decides to get a hotel room for the night, so she doesn’t have to drive home drunk and risk getting another DUI. I guess calling her husband, Gabe, was out of the question because when she returned home the next morning, there was Gabe sitting at the kitchen table waiting for her to return. He questioned her whereabouts (like any normal husband would) and Trina snaps back at him like he had no business asking her those rediculous questions. This marriage needs serious help!

Trina and Tamar aren’t the only ones going through problems with their men, Towanda and Andre are still rocky and now that Trina has asked Towanda to move out of her house, things are even more shaky. Towanda has enough money to put a down payment on a new house and Andre asks Towanda if he can move back in with her and the kids. “If I move back in, are we going to go back to making love regularly?” Andre asks Towanda on their coffee date. Was I the only one a little grossed out by that question? Towanda wants Andre to go to therapy and suggests that he go and live with his grandmother until he gets some help. Lord have mercy.. this is a mess!

Back in Chicago, Tamar and Vince are getting ready for their speaking engagement which turns out to be at a speed dating event. They talk about how important it is to build a foundation in a relationship and how blessed they are to be in each other’s lives. It’s at this moment that we finally see the softer side to Tamar, and see just why they fell in love with each other in the first place. Tamar then gives the quote of the night to all the ladies out there, “Ladies, if you’re on your 8th date and he’s trying to sleep with you, he is not the one. When he out that ring on it, then I put that thang on it!” Amen sista! At least one of the sister’s is having a great marriage.

Trina and Gabe go visit Dr. Sherry in hopes that she can fix their relationship. We learn that Gabe has still been communicating with other females in an inappropriate manner through social networks and embarrassing Trina. You can see in Trina’s face that she’s had enough, and she doesn’t even wear her wedding ring again. The couple agree to try one last time to make things work, with Gabe moving out of their bedroom and into the guest room. Hopefully this time they’ll fix everything.

The episode ends with Towanda moving into her new home and the sisters and Mama Ev visiting for the first time. They notice that Towanda’s closest is a “his and her” closet, meaning that she’s allowed Andre to move in with her and give their relationship another try. “I mean, he IS the father of my children” Towanda tells cameras. Hey, no shade being thrown here!
