Music Video: J. Cole - 'Lost Ones'
J. Cole drops a video for one of the most powerful and thought provoking tracks off of his debut album, Cole World: The Sideline Story. In the clip, Cole and his girlfriend are seen arguing about the fate of an unborn child. Apparently, this video was shot 3 years ago in 2008, before a lot of people even knew who he was. Awesome video, PLEASE WATCH.

Amber Rose Covers Urban Ink + Inked Magazines
Wiz' boo thang is looking extra aggressive on her cover for next month's issue of Urban Ink. On the flipside, the newly 30 year old gets a little sexier for Inked. In their article, Amber talks tats and also about her inspiration for her trademark hairstyle.
When I was a little girl I used to love Sinead O'Connor's video and song 'Nothing Compares 2 U'. I knew I wanted to look as beautiful as she did one day, so when I was old enough to make my own decisions, at 19, I cut it off...It's been over eight years now. Once I did it, I never went back.
Here are both covers:
Hotness.
Music Video: T-Pain - 'Drowning Again'
I don't think I've ever seen T-Pain like this before. Check out the clip for his track, 'Drowning Again' he released via Twitter yesterday. This is pretty somber in contrast to what we're usually accustomed to from the auto tuning singer/rapper. His album rEVOLVER is due out December 6th.
Latest On The NBA Lockout: No Resolutions In Sight
Sigh. So the NBA's powers that be gathered this week and this is what happened:
In short, nearly the worst kind of news. The NBA and NBPA met for another long mediated session Thursday. The result? At around 7:35 EST Adam Silver and Peter Holt held a press conference to announce that talks have broken down and no further meetings are scheduled.
Silver would not confirm any further cancelations of games, but the mood is extremely grim.
Silver did confirm that the issue that lead to the breakdown between the owners and union was back to BRI. There had been a significant amount of talk about the issues being systemic issues, particularly the luxury tax and revenue sharing. Silver revealed that the union had lowered its offer to 52.5 percent of BRI, with the owners holding the line at 50/50, still.
Ken Berger reported Monday that the owners’ 50/50 offer was back to a 49-51 range. The question is whether the concessions made in the systemic issues pushed the players back to a flat 50/50. Silver also said that the two sides were “far apart” on systemic issues.
Silver told reporters that the players in essence wanted a trade-off. In essence, if the players were conceding on BRI, they wanted more from the systemic issues.
SO in essence, we ain't gettin no damn season. :: sucks teeth ::

Video: CNN Interviews Wiz Khalifa On His Major Success
Let's face it. Wiz has come a long way from mixtape obscurity to mixtape staple, from 'Black & Yellow' to top selling artist. It's been a crazy 5 years for Wiz and CNN gets a chance to sit down with the rapper and clear the air (no pun).
"Of course I do rap music and Im a hip-hop artist but as an individual as a personality and what I give to the people, I see myself like the leader singer of a band or something. When I go out there, I'm a real performer."
Check out the interview here:

Soulja Boy Arrested For Weed Possession; He Had in $70, 000 Cash + Drugs!
SO WTF is going on with future Bobby Brown? TMZ reports that Soulja Boy was arrested in Temple, GA this morning. He was apparently being stopped for a routine traffic stop when the officer probably got a whiff of the air and searched the car. Here's the skinny:
...during the stop, cops found a "substantial amount" of marijuana and cash inside the vehicle." Soulja and the 4 other men were all arrested.
Law enforcement sources tell us officers also found guns inside the car -- though it's unclear if any of the men had the proper licenses to be in possession of the firearms.
One source with knowledge of the situation tells us there was roughly $70,000 in cash and drugs in the car.
Well I mean I can't say I'm shocked but Soulja has just GOT to do something more with his life. Lately its only been lack luster music and mixtapes, twitter beefs, fly by night girlfriends, drugs and tattoos. Jesus take the wheel. Someone pray for the boy.

Lil' Wayne Working On Sequels To 'I Am Not A Human Being' & 'Rebirth'
This man sure loves his sequels....in a recent interview Young Money's 2nd man in charge Mack Maine let the cat out of the bag about Weezy trying his hand at repeats of the two projects. Check out the scoop via Rap-Up.com:
Mack Maine revealed that Weezy is working on a follow-up to his rock albumRebirth and hip-hop project I Am Not a Human Being. “He’s, like, 12 songs in, and it’s crazy. He went left. He’s in Martian land right now,” the Young Moneypresident told MTV News of Human Being 2.
While both albums did not achieve as much commercial success as Tha Carterseries, Weezy uses them as an outlet to express his different tastes. “He gets to show his rock side, he gets to show the gangsta side and talk to the women on one side,” said Mack. “On I Am Not a Human Being, he is definitely showing some weirdo, left-brain, I’m-not-from-here type side. He can say what he wants. There’s no boundaries or limits.”
The diverse music will appeal to his various fan bases. “You have different audiences and different preferences, different demographics of people that like to hear different music,” he added. “He captures all those different audiences and then at a concert or a show, you bring all those different people together. You bring your Rebirth rock people, you bring your Carter people, and you bring your I Am Not a Human Being [crowd], and you have a great show. That’s why we sell out arenas every night.”
Not sure about this route for Weezy, but when you're a man of his status I guess you can do whatever you please musically, whether they're mistakes or not. What do you guys think? Are you looking forward to the sequels?

Rihanna Gets In Trouble For Grabbing Strippers Inappropriately?!
So the picture above is Katy Perry, not a stripper but we all know Rihanna is a fan of the ladies but this is just ridiculous. Peep the story here:
Rihanna got in trouble for “repeatedly touching” lap dancers in a strip club. The ‘S&M’ hitmaker allegedly angered security guards at Stringfellows in London during a visit with her ex-boyfriend Matt Kemp on Wednesday because she couldn’t keep her hands off the topless performers and even put her head between one of the dancers’ legs.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Rihanna couldn’t resist paying for a dance and loved watching the girls in action. But the guards weren’t happy as she was repeatedly touching them, ignoring all the warnings. “At one point she thrust her head between the legs of one of the dancers.”
The 23-year-old pop superstar and the baseball player partied until 2am in a private booth, where they were joined by celebrity hairdresser Adee Phelan and retired world heavyweight champion boxer David Haye.
Earlier in the night, Rihanna – who was named Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive 2011 earlier this week – sang Guns N’ Roses songs at the Nove Karaoke Bar in London’s West End.
The sexy singer – who is in the U.K. on tour – went to the bar with several of her staff to celebrate a crew member’s birthday and she treated the party to beers and vodka shots and food including pizza and garlic bread.
Rihanna couldn’t stop grabbing the microphone and also performed renditions of her own tracks and Kings of Leon’s ‘Sex on Fire’.
What are you guys thinking? Sexual deviant or girls just wanna have fun?

Beyonce just released a teaser for her upcoming music video to her single “Countdown” off her “4″ album, and the first clip you see of her it actually looks like her sister Solange.

The way she’s been handling her pregnancy in the public is just too adorable, I can’t wait to see the full video.

Rihanna Goes Blonde For The Cover Of Vogue
Barbadian beauty Rihanna looks like a beautiful statue on the cover of British Vogue magazine. She switches it up and instead of rocking her usual red wig she takes a page out of Beyonce’s book and goes blonde. I’m not too crazy about the blonde hair it kind of washes her out because her skin complexion is way too light, but regardless of what hair color Rihanna wears she still looks gorgeous. Now that Rihanna’s untitled 6th album is set to be released on November 21st this is the first of many promo projects that we will see from her.
