Video After The Jump

At a birthday celebration for 38 Spesh his older brother, Bryan Harrell Sr. aka Loverboy, gave a Rochester history lesson to all in attendance. Loverboy recounts how he and Spesh got their start in the rap game and in the streets. This candid account details the influence Loverboy had on Spesh’s life and business endeavors and accounts for Spesh’s rise to success as a recording artist and business man.

Sadly, Loverboy was shot and killed October 1, 2022 on his home turf of Chili Ave. in Rochester, NY.

R.I.P. Loverboy

My condolences to 38 Spesh and his family.

This song was intended to reunite the whole Slum Village group (T3, J Dilla, Baatin and added Elzhi), therefore the track was titled “Reunion”. Baatin had an encounter with a mental illness and that is why he is not on the track. Elzhi’s verse explains his “unlawful demons” and refers to his schizophrenia.

Produced by Black Milk

Report via TMZ -- Drake is leaving behind one of his biggest songs featuring Michael Jackson as he heads across the pond to tour -- and it's all because of "Leaving Neverland." 

Sources tell TMZ Drizzy's removed the song "Don't Matter to Me" -- a "Scorpion" track featuring MJ's vocals -- from his setlist on the UK leg of his international tour. His first show went down Sunday, and the omission didn't go unnoticed. 

Drake was performing at Manchester Arena ... he started with the same opening and closing songs that he picked for his North America tour, with one big exception ... the Jackson track, which he'd performed in the USA throughout 2018.

Of course, that was all before HBO aired the explosive documentary about MJ, in which Wade Robson and James Safechuck accuse him of sexually abusing them as children in extremely graphic detail.

The Manchester show was the first of about a dozen more shows across the pond. Drake will make stops in London, Birmingham and Dublin before it's all said and done. 

No word on whether Drake actually believes the allegations against Michael -- our sources didn't speak on that one way or another. Regardless, Drake's move to mute MJ speaks volumes.

Video After The Jump

The issue of skin color is is a constant topic in America amongst amongst all races, but none more so than in the black community where skin tones can range from very light to very dark. Things like who has "good hair" vs nappy hair are often joked about in school. Most of the time it's not until we reach adulthood that we realize how much we are affected by these comparisons.

In the hip hop community we need to look no further than music videos to see that often dark skinned girls are shunned in favor of lighter skinned women. Why is that the case?

Directors Bill Duke and D. Channsin Berry have put together a powerful new documentary titled 'Dark Girls' that takes a look at the "deep-seated biases and attitudes about skin color...particularly dark skinned women, outside of and within the Black American culture."

In the preview we see several women talk about issues, ranging from being picked on in school because of their darker skin color, to problems finding a mate.

Maybe the most heartbreaking scene shows a small girl who is asked to point out the smart, pretty girl on a sheet of paper. She consistently points to the white one as being smart and more attractive, while saying just the opposite about the dark skinned girl.

Check out the preview below, it's certain to make you think.

'Dark Girls' is expected to be released in Fall/Winter 2011.

You can "like" their facebook page to keep updated on the exact release date.

HipHopWired Reports Super producer turned movie director QD3 is gearing to unleash a barrage of DVD projects in the next few months. Taking a break from the highly successful Beef DVD series, QD3 told Hip-Hop Wired exclusively: “We got a Lil' Wayne film that we just finished that we took to Sundance that'll be coming out real soon and then we have two other films. One that's about urban skateboarding called Concrete Jungle with guys like T.K. (Terry Kennedy) blowing up. We did a documentary on that because we felt like the whole skate movement is a real nice alternative to see another opportunity for inner city kids. Just like basketball and Hip-Hop, it's another lane for us to take now. We want to help accelerate that movement in a big way and urban skateboarding is huge in California for sure.” QD3 also connected with Hip-Hop stars including Young Buck, Mobb Deep's Prodigy, Fat Joe and Mos Def for another shocking documentary. He stated to Hip-Hop Wired: "We did another one called Number One With A Bullet which is about gun violence in the Hip-Hop community. It's done from a different perspective. In this movie… a lot of time rappers will act like it didn't hurt when they got shot and its a lot of bravado involved especially when they show it in music videos so in this film we're trying to show the other side. We have artist tell the real story and talk about the recovery. We have doctors and psychologists and artists themselves telling the story of what really happened in an effort to sort of deglamorize gun violence. By the time you get finish watching this movie, you're not gonna want to see guns at all. After talking with the artists you'll definitely get the message that there's another side to gun violence than what you hear in the songs a lot of times. It humanizes it and CNN came to one of the screenings and said, "They've never seen Hip-Hop artist speak in this way before.” It was a completely different look. We spoke with a lot of the guys from G-Unit. We got B-Real in the movie, Ice Cube, Obie Trice and a whole bunch of other people.”

QD3 also made headlines several months back after legal battles over his authorized feature documentary The Carter, which focuses on the life of Lil' Wayne. After the film was completed, Wayne filed a lawsuit over “scandalous portrayal” and stated that he was supposed to receive final approval over the film before its showing and that some footage could be detrimental to his reputation and career…in particular him sipping syrup throughout the film. The case eventually was rejected. Not focusing on the negative, QD3 maintained, “I can't really speak on that but I think a lot of that was just miscommunication.” He further added to Hip-Hop Wired: “The main thing that the documentary shows… I think a lot of people would imagine that Wayne is hanging out in clubs with a bunch of women and drinking champagne and that sort of thing. But I would say the main thing you learn when you watch the film is that Wayne is a workaholic. Straight up. After seeing this I think a lot of people will respect his process a lot more. We were with him like 7 or 8 months before he went platinum and then maybe two months after. That's the period we were shooting him for and I remember one day when he got a text from Sylvia Rhone that he went platinum, he was like, “O.K.” He didn't even flinch. He was “O.K., cool” and “get off my bus, I gotta record.” His whole thing is he's like tireless worker and a lot of people will be very surprised how he's 100% dedicated to his craft and he's also daring like when he's on stage and in the studio, like there's no boundaries for him creatively. I think when people see it they're gonna have a whole different type of respect for him seeing him so young and successful yet staying truly focused on being good and becoming better. That's the main thing and it's not a whole lot of ego or fanfare about who he is as a star in the film at all. Wayne stays on his bus and he's got a recording studio up there and that's his life. So even if he pulls up at a hotel, sometimes he'll be on the bus just to record. I really gained a lot of respect for him in that regard in terms of how he approaches his records and then how hard he works. I would have to say…I worked with Tupac a lot and I feel like he may end up with a bigger catalogue than Tupac if he hasn't already. That kid works, he's a hard worker, super focused and doesn't get caught up in the industry like that. He just stays in the studio all the time.” Check out the trailers below for The Carter and Number One With A Bullet.
