Machine Gun Kelly is known for saying whatever is on his mind and he did just that in an interview with BallerAlert.com on the red carpet of the 2012 BET Awards. The Cleveland rapper was asked about his love for black women when he let it be known they top it off the best in his opinion.
"I'mma tell you like this - my child is black - black girls give the best head 100%," MGK said.
MGK went on to explain to the interviewer (who was a black woman), that black women either give the best dome or say they don't give it at all.
"This is what y'all do," he continued. "Y'all either give the best head or say you don't give head. White girls just give it. Most of y'all say 'I don't do that unless you're my man.' Whereas you just need to show your skills because black girls give the best head 100%."
A black woman that was standing nearby gets offended by what MGK is saying and walks off. After sending a few curse words her way the rapper continued the raunchy discussion. Check it out below.

After months of anticipation, 50 Cent fans are going to have to wait a few months longer for the rapper's next official LP. Despite previous plans to release his next album on Tuesday (July 3), Fif announced early this morning that he'll release Street King Immortal in November, with or without the support of his longtime label home, Interscope Records.
"My official Interscope album is called STREET KING IMMORTAL due out in nov," the G-Unit CEO, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, tweeted early Tuesday.
5 (Murder By Numbers), which was widely believed to be his fifth official album, will now be offered to fans on Friday for free — as what he called an "appetizer" — instead of being released for sale as planned.
MTV News has obtained an exclusive snippet from one of the songs off 5 (Murder By Numbers — a reggae-tinged, New York-flavored number called "You Will Never Take My Crown." "Gram after gram, time after time, I got the grind/ I can't help it, I got the shine," he raps on the drum-heavy track.
Claiming that he was receiving little marketing or support from Interscope, 50 recently lashed out at his label and the industry, saying it will be the last in his turbulent deal with the label.
"I said I was gonna put a record out that was completely up to album standard, and I'm gonna do that. I worked on this album for a long time," he said in a June interview with Philadelphia's Hot 107.9 radio station. "It's been three years."

Wiz Khalifa has very strong opinions when it comes to who the best female MC is. He picks Taylor Gang member Lola Monroe over all others.
"Lola Monroe, she's the first lady of Taylor Gang. She's the only chick that raps in Taylor Gang," Wiz told DropOutUK.com. "She's iller than any female artist I've ever heard in my life. She's so much better than any female because... just her lyrical ability."
Wiz said Lola has a story to tell that has yet to be heard in female rap.
"She's from D.C. and nobody has heard that story before," he added. "Nobody's heard that story before from a female. You've heard all these other stories, but you haven't heard her yet. I feel like she's different, she's better."
What do you think of Wiz's comments?

Frank Ocean's debut album Channel Orange is one of the most anticipated on the R&B scene in 2012. The singer has been holding listening sessions for it all over the world. His most recent listening party in London was attended by BBC 1 radio personality Max, who reported back on some of the lyrics that suggest the Odd Future singer is gay.
"Frank has also opened up about his sexuality on the album, we think it's brave and admire him for being so honest and sharing such a personal aspect of his life through his music," Max said. "On the songs 'Bad Religion' 'Pink Matter and 'Forrest Gump' you can hear him sing about being in love and their are quite obvious words used like 'him' and not 'her.'
"In the world we live in now we can't see this being an issue or why it should be?" she added. "But we do commend him for not continuing a facade and conforming to what a Hip Hop so called rule book expects, we say live your life and be yourself."
Would this change your opinion about Frank's music if he turns out to be gay?

**UPDATE**
With rumors of his sexuality swirling around the internet, Frank Ocean has decided to open up and reveal to the world that he is gay. The singer posted an open letter to his fans on his Tumblr page last night detailing falling in love with a man at the age of 19 and how it has affected his life. The 24-year old singer wrote that he now feels like a "free man" after coming out.
Frank's Odd Future band mate Tyler, The Creator gave him props on Twitter. "My Big Brother Finally F*cking Did That. Proud Of That N*gga Cause I Know That Sh*t Is Difficult Or Whatever."
His manager Kelly Clancy agreed with Tyler. “ive had a million proud moments in my career…this one falls at the top…”
Read Frank's full letter below.
“Whoever you are, wherever you are… I’m starting to think we are a lot alike. Human beings spinning on blackness. All wanting to be seen, touched, heard, paid attention to. My loved ones are everything to me here. In the last year or 3, I’ve screamed at my creator. Screamed at clouds in the sky. For some explanation. Mercy maybe. For peace of mind to rain like manna somehow. 4 Summers ago, I met somebody. I was 19 years old. He was too. We spent that Summer and the Summer after, together. Everyday almost. And on the days we were together, time would glide. Most of the day I’d see him, and his smile. I’d hear his conversation and his silence.. Until it was time to sleep. Sleep I would often share with him. By the time I realized I was in love, it was malignant. It was hopeless. There was no escaping. No negotiating with the feeling. No choice. It was my first love. It changed my life. Back then, my mind would wander to the women I had been with. The ones I cared for and thought I was in love with. I reminisced about the sentimental songs I enjoyed when I was a teenager. The ones I played when I experienced a girl too quickly. Imagine being thrown from a plane. I wasn’t in a plane though. I was in a Nissan Maxima. The same car I packed up with bags and drove to Los Angeles in. I sat there and told my friend how I felt. I wept as the words left my mouth. I grieved for them, know I could never take them back for myself. He patted my back. He said kind things. He did his best, but he wouldn’t admit the same. He had to go back inside soon. I was late and his girlfriend was waiting for him upstairs. He wouldn’t tell me the truth about his feelings for me for another 3 years. I felt like I’d only imagined reciprocity for years. Now imagine being thrown from a cliff. No. I wasn’t on a cliff. I was still in my car telling myself it was gonna be fine and to take deep breaths. I took the breaths and carried on. I kept up a peculiar friendship with him because I couldn’t imagine keeping up my life without him. I struggled to master myself and my emotions. I wasn’t always successful.
The dance went on.. I kept the rhythm for several Summers after. It’s Winter now. I’m typing this on a plane back to Los Angeles from New Orleans. I flew home for another marred Christmas. I have a windowseat. It’s December 27, 2011. By now, I’ve written two albums. This being the second. I wrote to keep myself busy and sane. I wanted to create worlds that were rosier than mine. I tried to channel overwhelming emotions. I’m surprised at how far all of it has taken me. Before writing this, I’d told some people my story. I’m sure these people kept me alive. Kept me safe… sincerely. These are the folks I wanna thank from the floor of my heart. Everyone of you knows who you are.. Great humans. Probably angels. I don’t know what happens now, and that’s alright. I don’t have any secrets I need kept anymore. There’s probably some small shit still, but you know what I mean. I was never alone, as much as I felt like it..As much as I still do sometimes. I never was. I don’t think I ever could be. Thanks. To my first love, I’m grateful for you. Grateful that even though it wasn’t what I had hoped for and even though it was never enough, it was. Some things never are…And we were. I won’t forget you. I won’t forget the Summer..I’ll remember who I was when I met you. I’ll remember who you were and how we both changed and stayed the same. I’ve never had more respect for life and living than I have right now. Maybe it takes a near death experience to feel alive. Thanks. To my mother, you raised me strong. I know I’m only brave because you were first…So thank you. All of you. For everything good. I feel like a free man. If I listen closely, I can hear the sky falling too.”

Lil Wayne has shown the ability to make many different styles of music throughout his career. He's done rock, ballads and hip hop so nobody is quite sure what to expect from his upcoming album, 'I Am Not A Human Being 2.' But according to his boss it might be his best work yet.
MTV recently caught up with Cash Money CEO Birdman to get his take on the album.
"It's something totally different from Wayne," Birdman said. "Really, for me, I'm a fan of him, but he really goes so hard in so many different ways, it's like magic for me to watch him put his mindset together."
Stunna took it a step further by saying the album is flawless.
"What he created with this I Am Not a Human [Being] II is a perfect work of art, and he's just being Tunechi," Baby continued. "Really though, he's one of the greatest artists ever, and his work ethic and body of work gonna show that. It's an incredible album."
Are you believing the Birdman hype about Wayne's new album? Sound off in the comment section below.
