Eve Says Lil Kim Needs to Stop Beefin with Nicki Minaj
by: PatriceJohnson, Your Black World
Eve talks about Lil’ Kim & Nicki Minaj Beef…
After all of the success that Eve has earned and much more success to come on her new album, she has no reason to hate on or have beef with the next big female artist.
Just today in an interview, Eve spoke on the matters between rappers, Lil’ Kim and Nicki Minaj. Eve claims that it's not a good look for Lil' Kim to beef with Nicki. As far as Eve is concerned, she is glad that more women are embracing Hip-Hop and Nicki Minaj is definitely a woman that can hold her own in this game.
I totally agree with what Eve was trying to say. She was basically saying that women need to stop hating on each other and just do themselves… Don’t try to be like Nicki Minaj, Lil’ Kim, Queen Latifah, Foxie Brown, MC Lyte, Remi Ma, Diamond, Trina or Keys… Just be you, rap in your own way and make it as fresh as you can… BUT always accept others for what they do as well.
It is so good to see a woman who is openly embracing other women in the Hip-Hop industry, she is allowing room for more than one female rapper at the top and that is what sister hood should be all about…

Chad Ochocinco, wide reciever for the Cincinnati Bengals…
I thought that I’d heard it all but this just had to be posted… Chad “85” Ochocinco wants to be a Snake Wrangler according to his posts via Twitter!!! Either he really does not have anything to do while waiting on a response from the NFL or he is taking Cincinnati Bengals owner, Mike Brown’s advice a little too seriously…
After Mike Brown said that Ocho should become a snake wrangler just so that we could all watch to see if he would get bit Ocho decided to take matters into his own hands and partnered up with Snake Jungle to be the first black snake wrangler…

PatriceJohnson: Your Environment Doesn’t Make You, You Choose to Make Yourself
by: PatriceJohnson, Your Black World
Joseph “JoJo” Simmons Jr.
People always say that your environment is what inspires you to make the decisions that you make. Whether it be good or bad. Some people believe that if you are brought up in a stable home with a mother and father, for females, they are less likely to end up pregnant, more likely to go to college and less likely to end up on welfare. As for males, they are less likely to end up as dead beat dads, more likely to go to college and less likely to end up in prison.
PatriceJohnson: A Deeper Look at the Relationship Between Rapper Cory Gunz and His Father
by: PatriceJohnson, Your Black World
Cory Gunz (23 years old) standing next to his father, Peter Gunz (early 40’s)
After watching the reality T.V. show “Son of a Gun” there were 5 things that I noticed right off the bat:
1.) Cory Gunz is a talent that is so unique and raw. He is an amazing rapper, and it would take a very special person to even be able to get close to where his talent level is.
2.) Nick Cannon and Cory have a great relationship that is not seen in a lot of the music industry. Nick Cannon does not seem like the type of man that just wants to take his cut of Cory’s money and run away, he cares about Cory’s well-being and that is what all managers should be about.

Ice-T Expresses Objections to Soulja Boy Playing Tupac in Juice Remake
Brook Griffin, Your Black World
It seems that the rapper Ice-T has a serious problem with Soulja Boy being chosen to remake the film “Juice.” The original filmed starred the late Tupac Shakur, who gave an unforgettable performance. During an interview on Shade 45 Satellite Radio, Ice-T had this to say:
“At some point somebody gotta stop it, I came out I made some statements….maaan, I don't know. Do you dude, do you. If the masses accept it, it shows you the state we're in[…] Come on man, you think I'd try to remake Pac's movie?”

Russell Simmons’ Open Letter to President Obama: Don’t Forget Our Plight
Your Black World Reports
I listened to your speech last week at Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network's 20th anniversary dinner, talking among friends and close supporters. This was an annual African American dinner, a very important one. While I know that any Democrat would have fulfilled their promise to come back if they had won the '08 election, I also know the significance, and the special burden it poses on you, as the first African American President, at the same time.
Still, I woke up the next day feeling uneasy, not because you didn't take issues of direct significance to the black community head-on -- like the fact that one in three black children go to jail once in their lifetime or that black people have an unemployment rate double the amount of white people -- but because nowhere in your deep and thoughtful remarks did you talk about the elephant in the room that affects ALL Americans, irrespective of color: the growing ranks of poor Americans, Americans struggling not just to meet their mortgage payments but to eat, sleep under a roof, educate their kids and pay their basic bills.

HBCU Student Not Allowed to Graduate Because of Facebook Post
by Dr. Boyce Watkins, YourBlackWorld.com – Scholarship in Action
Roman Caple is a senior at St. Augustine’s College. He was set to graduate this weekend until he was informed by the school that he wouldn’t be allowed to walk with his classmates. Caple says that his punishment was due to a Facebook post that allegedly "jeopardized the integrity of the college."
Caple argues that the reaction of school administrators came as a result of his posts following a tornado that hit Raleigh, NC two weeks ago. But he says that most of his comments were meant to be uplifting. One of his posts said the following:
"We all need to set our differences aside and help one another. Falcons we will continue to fly high because that's what we do. Help your neighbor, if need be, Falcons are one."

Detroit’s NAACP Honors Kid Rock and His Confederate Flag
by Dr. Boyce Watkins, Your Black World – Scholarship in Action
The NAACP of Detroit has committed what appears to be an incredibly sad act by giving it's Great Expectations Award to Kid Rock during it's annual Fight for Freedom Fund Dinner. It's ironic that the NAACP is giving an award to someone who regularly uses the Confederate flag during his concerts. The civil rights supporter in me doesn't understand the NAACP's actions, but the Finance Professor in me understands their actions perfectly.
Here are some questions for the NAACP as they honor one of their greatest heroes, Kid Rock:
1) If Kid Rock were not a donor to your organization, would you have given him this award? Probably not.

Luther Campbell Raises Just $250 for His Mayoral Campaign
Your Black World Reports
It looks like the phrase “Too legit to quit” doesn’t quite apply to Luther Campbell. The former leader of “2 Live Crew” has raised a reported $250 for his campaign to run for Mayor of Miami. Campbell was hoping that a recent fundraiser would bring him $5,000 to $10,000, but he was wrong. Campbell is now $150,000 behind the fourth-highest fundraiser, Jose "Pepe" Cancio.
NY Mayor Goes Nuts After Finding Out that Diddy Got a Police Motorcade
Your Black World Reports
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg went on a tirade after finding out that the NYPD gave the rapper Sean “Diddy”Combs a police motorcade to make a $75,000 event in New Jersey. The mayor launched a probe into the incident, stating that it is unacceptable for anyone to receive police assistance with taxpayer dollars. Officers from NYPD internal affairs went to the Midtown South precinct to go through logs, records and work schedules to find out who was responsible for what happened. They are also reviewing videotapes from 35th Street and Times Square to find out more information.
Students Fight to Save HBCU in Louisiana
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Eye-level watermarks, gutted buildings and rows of mobile classrooms linger as reminders of the flooding from Hurricane Katrina that nearly wiped out Southern University at New Orleans in 2005.
Now the predominantly African-American university faces what students and administrators view as a new threat: Gov. Bobby Jindal's proposal to consolidate the school with the nearby, mostly white University of New Orleans.
Famous Athletes Who Went Broke
In 2008, the NBA Players’ Association claimed that 60 percent of pro basketball players go broke within five years of retirement. It’s not hard to see why. In the annals of “easy come, easy go,” few people see it come and go like professional athletes.
While it’s true that many take their salaries and invest them in sensible and enduring business ventures, many others squander their multimillion-dollar salaries on expensive cars, jewelry and mansions, and when the checks stop coming in, they have little to show for it.

Nicki Minaj to Attend the Royal Wedding
Your Black World reports
Hip hop star Nicki Minaj has reportedly rented a spot near Westminster Abbey, where the royal wedding is set to take place. The problem is that she wasn’t actually invited to the wedding, but just wants to be there to see it. Prince William and Kate Middleton are going to be married on April 29, and despite being on tour with Britney Spears, Minaj has rented a private jet to take her across the world to check out the events.
I guess this refutes the notion that hip-hop stars don’t believe in fairy tales.

Donald Trump Says Obama Was Not Qualified for the Ivy Leagues
by Dr. Boyce Watkins, Your Black World – Scholarship in Action
It appears that Donald Trump just won’t give up. In an interview this week with the Associated Press, “The Donald” said that President Obama was a poor student who didn’t deserve to be admitted to Harvard University. Trump doesn’t actually have proof of his assertions, but that’s never stopped him before.
"I heard he was a terrible student, terrible. How does a bad student go to Columbia and then to Harvard?" Trump said to the Associated Press. "I'm thinking about it, I'm certainly looking into it. Let him show his records."
MC Hammer Reinvents Himself in Silicon Valley
Is it possible for the music industry to learn something from an artist who hasn't had a hit song since the mid-'90s?
In the case of MC Hammer, it just might.
To many in the music industry, Hammer is a has-been rapper who squandered a fortune and eventually faded into musical irrelevancy. But in Silicon Valley, he's a respected entrepreneur, investor and adviser with a reputation as a savvy early adopter of new technology.
That's quite an achievement in a region that views most celebrities with suspicion.
