Hip-hop hasn’t been the same since the Notorious B.I.G. passed away on March 9, 1997. So many questions arise, like what if he were still alive today how different would the game be? B.I.G. made me feel a sense of pride about my hometown, hell he had the world screaming “Where Brooklyn at?”.

BK Stand up!


What are you favorite memorable B.I.G. moments or songs?!

Let me get this straight…so your mega-star brother dies and you run off and get a reality show. Really?

Wonder how Janet feels about this mess?!

I’m convinced Michael’s death was all a plot to generate more money for his has-been siblings. When it comes to money…somebody’s gotta lose.

kanyepic2

What’s really good with all this internet buzz about Kanye being “dead”?! First Kanye debuts a short film where he sorta kills himself by stabbing himself an unleashing his demon, then he deletes the post from his site, and now there’s a trending topic on twitter called #RIPKanyeWest. Did the fairytale come to life? Well according to his down ass bitch, Amber Rose…it’s all a LIE!

ambertweet

The fake trending topic inspired ARose to reboot Kanye back to life with #LongLiveYeezy topic.

I get the feeling Kanye is behind all this frenzy!

janetfashion1janetfashion3

Looks like Ms. Janet is pulling a Jay-Z and rockin’ all black everything…for an entire year. And no not to jump on the bandwagon, but rather to mourn the death of her brother, Michael Jackson. A source explained to Britain’s The Sun newspaper:

“Janet, like the rest of the Jackson family, has been left bereft by Michael’s passing.

“As a mark of respect she has decided to only wear black clothes to express her grief, and she has had to go on a number of shopping trips to find suitable items to wear.

“She has resolved to mourn Michael’s death for 12 months, and in June next year – on the anniversary of Michael’s passing-her time of reflection will come to an end.”

Not to mention Black is very slimming.

Janet Jackson made an appearance at the amFAR charity gala for AIDS research during Milan’s Fashion Week…looking FABOLOUS!

Check out this exclusive never before seen interview courtesy VIBE of Tupac talking about getting shot in NYC and his belief of Diddy’s involvement.

After hearing many witnesses discuss their dealings with Diddy and just how grimmey dude gets down…I can’t help but wonder and question Diddy’s involvement in Tupac’s death. Sure they maybe haters and whatnot…but think about it.

Something else to think about: Ya know Biggie & Tupac were tight, where one went, the other was sure to follow. So why wasn’t Diddy with Biggie the night he got shot…did he somehow knew what was about to go down? I wonder…
