Jay-Z is probably the most well known rapper to proclaim that he doesn't usually write down his lyrics before recording them. Kanye West has worked closely with Hova since the beginning of his career and it seems he learned a lot from watching his Roc-A-Fella Records boss. In an outtake from Ice-T's documentary Something From Nothing: The Art Of Rap, Yeezy says he didn't write his lyrics down for his first four albums.
"I didn't write my raps down for my first four albums. I did it from the head straight to the booth," Kanye said. "But on this last album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, I wrote it because I really put myself in the zone that my life was dependent on the success of this album. With that being the case, I said, 'You know what? No matter what anybody says about me, I can write something that can make someone that hates me the most have to really respect or love the song.' So even a song like 'Power,' Like we spent 5,000 hours writing it, and it's really psychology behind the lyrics too. It's not just blatantly, 'Hey I got all the powers.' [It's] 'No one man should have all that power.' And It's wording it in a really sensitive way that opens it up for everyone."

Rihanna had a very difficult time discussing her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown and his 2009 assault on her during a new interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Rihanna becomes very emotional while describing how despite how angry she was at Brown for hitting her, she still felt sorry for him.
"I lost my best friend," Rihanna said. "Everything I knew switched in a night and I couldn't control that. I had to deal with that and it's not east for me to understand on interpret. And it's not east to interpret on camera. Not with the world watching."
The singer goes on to explain how confused and devastated she was.
"It was hard for me to even pay attention to my mind and figuring things out because now I became a circus," she explains. "And I felt protective [of Brown]. I felt like the only person they hate right now is him. It was a weird, confusing space to be in. Because as angry as I was, as angry and hurt and betrayed, I just felt like he made that mistake because he needed help ... and who's going to help him? Nobody's going to say he needs help. Everybody's going to say he's a monster without looking at the source. And I was more concerned about him."

R&B singer Chris Brown and his rival Drake were socked with a $16 million lawsuit Wednesday over the glass-flying brawl at a popular SoHo nightclub.
Greenhouse, on Vandam Street, shares space, owners and a liquor license with W.i.P. — the bar where the fight occurred June 14.
Owners of the Greenhouse trademark claim in court papers that the melee, which left at least seven people injured — including hoops star Tony Parker — cost them a $4 million licensing deal that they’d recently brokered.
Publicists for Drake and Brown have tried to distance the men from the fight over their former flame, Rihanna.
But the lawsuit, brought by Entertainment Enterprises Ltd., which owns the Greenhouse name, alleges they were directly involved.
Brown and Drake “began to fight violently with each other,” according to papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court. “Each ordered his security personnel, bodyguards, friends and entourage to join the fight.”
Witnesses said bottles were shattered so they could be used as weapons, and patrons started throwing glasses full of booze. The brouhaha started after Brown sent Drake a bottle of champagne — and Drake sent it back, prompting someone to start tossing ice cubes.
Members of each singer’s posse were also listed as defendants in the lawsuit, identified only as John Does.
“Defendants overran the nightclub's extensive security measures and the brawl overtook the entire space. Terrorized patrons ran for cover...most were unable to protect themselves,” the lawsuit states.
Among those injured was Parker, whose left eye was hit by flying glass. He has filed a $20 millionlawsuit against the club. Others injured also have filed suits.
Brown and Drake “should have foreseen that their notoriety and celebrity would ensure that their acts had far reaching and devastating effects,” the trademark owners contend.
The bar was shut down by police and temporarily stripped of its liquor license by the State Liquor Authority.
Club owners went to court to win the license back on a temporary basis, and made a pact with the city to reopen with beefed-up security.
Police and the Manhattan District Attorney’s office are still investigating the incident. So far, no criminal charges have been brought.

Chris Rock recently stopped by Sway in the Morning to let the world know what he's been up to lately. Chris surprised Sway when he told him that he is kicking around the idea of directing a new "CB4" movie.
"Me and Nelson [George] have been talking about 'CB4.' Because when we made it we never thought rappers would be old," Chris said. "We never dreamed... you know 'CB4' is like twenty something years ago. And I know like a bunch of senior rappers. Rakim and Big Daddy Kane. So I think I might want to do something from that perspective. To be like a grown man rapper."

Azealia Banks found herself in the middle of another Twitter beef last night. This time the 21-year old Harlem rapper went at Funkmaster Flex after the Hot 97 DJ said on air that she should chill with her many beefs at this early stage of her career.
While Azealia threw out diss after diss towards him, Funk Flex tried to calm her down by asking her to call the radio station so they could settle things, but she wasn't having it.
For those keeping count Azealia has beefed with Kreayshawn, Iggy Azalea, T.I., Elliot Wilson, Jim Jones and now Funkmaster Flex.
Azealia deleted many of her tweets from last night's tirade, but InFlexWeTrust managed to catch them all. Check out the exchange below.
