In this clip Krayzie Bone talks about Eazy-E, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's rise to fame, and the beef between Ruthless and Death Row Records. While discussing the latter Krayzie Bone says everyone on both sides got caught up in the moment, and these days the Bone members and guys like Daz Dillinger and Kurupt remain in good standing with one another.
Though everything is good and well these days, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's pathway to success wasn't an easy one. While at Ruthless the Cleveland group dealt with various contract issues, but Krayzie Bone says he would have done it regardless. "Look man, I tell people this all the time. We was [sic] young cats. I don't care if he would've put the words in there plain as day. 'We finna rob y'all.' We still would've signed those damn contracts, man," he explained to DJ Vlad.
Listen as Krayzie Bone discusses the "crazy visions" Eazy-E had for the label, what was "the last straw" for the group, and the autoimmune disease that's affected his lungs in another engaging exclusive.

FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — President Barack Obama mocked conspiracy theorists and tore into the National Rifle Association for pushing "imaginary fiction," as he described his plans to tighten gun control rules as modest first steps toward tackling gun violence in America.
In a prime-time, televised town hall meeting Thursday, Obama fielded tough questions from high-profile gun control opponents and supporters alike, often answering with sympathy and without confrontation as he tried to reassure Americans there is a middle ground on a fiercely divisive issue.
But Obama didn't hold back when asked by CNN moderator Anderson Cooper about the notion that the federal government — and Obama in particular — wants to seize all firearms as a precursor to imposing martial law. He blamed that notion on the NRA and like-minded groups that convince its members that "somebody's going to come grab your guns."
"Yes, that is a conspiracy," Obama said. "I'm only going to be here for another year. When would I have started on this enterprise?" Obama defended his support for the constitutional right to gun ownership while arguing it was consistent with his efforts to curb mass shootings. He said the NRA refused to acknowledge the government's responsibility to make legal products safer, citing seatbelts and child-proof medicine bottles as examples.
Taking the stage at George Mason University, Obama accused the NRA of refusing to participate in the town hall despite having its headquarters nearby.
"Since this is a main reason they exist, you'd think that they'd be prepared to have a debate with the president," Obama said.
NRA spokesman Andrew Arulanandam said beforehand that the group saw "no reason to participate in a public relations spectacle orchestrated by the White House." Several NRA members were in the audience for the event, which was organized and hosted by CNN. And the NRA pushed back on Twitter in real time, noting at one point "none of the president's orders would have stopped any of the recent mass shootings."
The White House has sought to portray the NRA, the nation's largest gun group, as possessing a disproportionate influence over lawmakers that has prevented new gun laws despite polls that show broad U.S. support for measures like universal background checks. Last year, following a series of mass shootings, Obama pledged to "politicize" the issue in an attempt to level the playing field for gun control supporters.
The American Firearms Retailers Association, another lobby group that represents gun dealers, did participate Thursday. Asked how business had been since Obama took office, Kris Jacob, vice president of the group, replied: "It's been busy."
"There's a very serious concern in this country about personal security," he added.
Obama's actions on guns have drawn major attention in the presidential campaign, with the Democratic candidates backing Obama and the Republicans unanimously voicing opposition. Donald Trump, addressing a rally in Vermont just as Obama was holding the town hall, said he would eliminate gun-free zones in schools on his first day if elected to the White House.
"You know what a gun-free zone is for a sicko? That's bait," Trump told the crowd.
Obama's broadside against the NRA came two days after his unveiling of a package of executive actions aimed at keeping guns from people who shouldn't have them. The centerpiece is new federal guidance that seeks to clarify who is "in the business" of selling firearms, triggering a requirement to get a license and conduct background checks on all prospective buyers.
The plan has drawn intense criticism from gun rights groups that have accused the president of trampling on the Second Amendment and railroading Congress by taking action on his own without new laws. Just after his 2012 re-election, Obama pushed hard for a bipartisan gun control bill that collapsed in the Senate, ending any realistic prospects for a legislative solution in the near term.
The town hall featured several well-known figures in the gun debate. Former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in 2011, stood as her husband, Mark Kelly, asked Obama about confiscation theories. Taya Kyle, whose late husband was depicted in the film "American Sniper," asked the president about why he doesn't highlight falling murder rates. Cleo Pendleton, whose daughter was shot and killed near Obama's Chicago home, asked about his proposals to stop gun trafficking across state lines.

Kimberly Corban, an NRA supporter, told Obama she'd been raped by an intruder and now feels that owning a gun "seems like my basic responsibility as a parent ... I refuse to let that happen again."
Ahead of the town hall, Obama put political candidates on notice that he would refuse to support or campaign for anyone who "does not support common-sense gun reform" — including Democrats.
All the candidates running for the Democratic presidential nomination support stricter gun laws, so Obama's declaration in a New York Times op-ed isn't likely to have an impact on the race to replace him. Instead, it appeared aimed at Democratic congressional candidates from competitive districts who might want Obama's support on the campaign trail this year.

Prior to debuting his new song, "Untitled 2," on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Kendrick Lamar sat down with the host for a conversation.
Jimmy reminded him that his album "To Pimp a Butterfly" has the most Grammy nominations ever for a rapper with eleven. He asked Kendrick if he wanted to surpass the late, great Michael Jackson's record setting 1984 twelve nods for "Thriller." (Michael won eight that year).
"I can't fathom being as great as Michael without putting out the work," Kendrick said. "Eleven is perfect. He's the legendary. I'm glad it's at twelve."
He later listens to a fan-made K. Dot mash-up.

The women of "The Talk" (Sharon Osbourne, Julie Chen, Sheryl Underwood, Aisha Tyler and Sara Gilbert) were accepting their award for the Favorite Daytime Hosting Team at People's Choice Awards 2016, Wednesday, January 6, when some dude ran up on stage, grabbed the mic and shouted out Kevin Gates' forthcoming debut album titled "Islah."
The ladies weren't having it though.
Underwood snatched the mic back from the intruder, while Osbourne kicked him in the butt as he left the stage.
"You ain't gonna pull no Steve Harvey up in here," Underwood said.
Osbourne gave him the middle finger and said, "get the fuck off my stage."
The whole thing is pretty funny. And of course Twitter reacted.

Two weeks ago Janet Jackson announced via her website and Instagram page that she had to call a halt to her "Unbreakable" world tour to undergo surgery.
"Hey you guys… Happy Holidays to each and every one of you. I need you to know, I learned today, from my doctors that I must have surgery soon. It breaks my heart to tell you that I am forced to postpone the Unbreakable Tour until the spring," she wrote. "Every date will be rescheduled. Please hold on to your tickets. They will be honored in a special way when the new schedule is announced. Please pray for me, my family and our entire company during this difficult time. There will be no further comment. I love you all so much and am ever grateful for your understanding and your love. Gon’ b alright."
RadarOnline reports that doctors had to operate on the singer's vocal chords after finding a tumor that could be cancerous.
“Doctors found a growth on Janet’s vocal cords that could be serious,” a source told Radar. “It’s a medical condition that has to be taken care of immediately.”
Dr. Stuart Fischer told Radar that cancer could end Janet's career.
“God forbid that this should be cancer of the larynx," he said. “That would abruptly end her ability to ever perform again.”
The younger sister of Michael Jackson's catalog is full of hit songs, including "Control," "Alright," "Someone to Call My Lover," "Nasty," "If," "What Have You Done For Me Lately" and many more.
Janet is also known for her high energy concerts and innovative dance moves.
We wish the music icon the very best and hope she will recover successfully and be able to continue her legendary career.
**UPDATE** January 7
Janet Jackson has addressed the rumors that she has cancer. She released a clip via YouTube that features the song “The Great Forever” from her new album, "Unbreakable."
At the end of it was a message to her fans:
"Remember ... believe it when you hear it from my lips," the message reads. "The rumors are untrue. I do not have cancer. I'm recovering. My doctors have approved my concerts as scheduled in Europe, and as I promised, the postponed shows will be rescheduled. Thank you for your prayers and love."
