President Obama has come under a lot of scrutiny from Donald Trump recently regarding his birth certificate and his acceptance into Harvard Law School. Yesterday (May 30) at the White House Correspondents Dinner, Obama got to fire a few comedic jabs at "the Donald", who was in attendance.
"Donald Trump is here tonight," the comedian in chief said. "Now, I know that he's taken some flack lately, but no one is prouder to put this birth certificate to rest than The Donald. Now he can get to focusing on the issues that matter. Like, did we fake the moon landing? What really happened at Roswell? And where are Biggie and Tupac?"
The President then took Trump apart regarding his lack of political experience.
"All kidding aside, we all know about your credentials and breadth of experience," Obama continued. "For example; in an episode of Celebrity Apprentice - the men's cooking team did not impress the judges from Omaha steaks, but you recognized that this was a lack of leadership, so ultimately you didn't blame Lil Jon or Meatloaf... you fired Gary Busey. These are the kinds of decisions that would keep me up at night."
Pure pwnage right there.

They say everything is big in Texas, and the people in the town of Allen wouldn't argue with that statement.
The town is building a new state of the art, $60 million dollar palace for a high school team, all at the taxpayer's expense.
Citizens approved a $119 bond to build the stadium in 2009, by a wide margin.
The stadium is scheduled to open in late 2012 and will feature a video scoreboard, four concession stands, 12 restrooms, and 18,000 seats.
"Certainly we did not expect the cost to be $60 million dollars when we were going down this road," explains Ken Helvy, the Superintendent for the Allen, Texas school district "We weren't going for some type of record, but 18,000 seats is an unusual project for a high school."
Clearly this town isn't feeling the affect of the recession.

The twins, a baby girl (weighing 5-pound, 3-ounces), and baby boy (weighing in at 5 pounds, 6 ounces) were born via c-section.
Cannon, 30, drove Carey, 41, to the hospital Thursday night, thinking it was a false alarm. Once at the hospital they realized it was the real deal.
The babies are the first for the couple who got married in May 2008.

In an interview published this week, Soulja said Baby and his brother Slim had already met with him face to face to talk business.
“I met with Baby and Slim down in Miami. He’s trying to get me to come over to Cash Money," Soulja said at the time. “I’ve been a fan of Cash Money since I was young. I’ve been listening to Birdman’s music since I was growing up. I would have never thought”
A huge stumbling to any new record deal for Soulja, would be the fact he is still legally obligated to Interscope Records for two more albums.
Birdman says he has never tried to sign Soulja Boy, and wouldn't be attempting to while he is under contract.
"YMCMB busine$$ real talk.I neva tried 2 sign n0b0dy thts already sign 2 s0meb0dy.we d0nt r0ck like tht.I neva tried 2 sign s0ulja.but I respect tha lil h0mey wrk keep getn it$$$$," Birdman wrote in a tweet.
Whose story do you believe? Soulja Boy or Baby's?

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are the proud parents of twins. The pop diva went into labor on Saturday at 12:07 p.m. EST at an undisclosed Los Angeles hospital, Mariah’s publicist Cindi Berger confirmed to The Associated Press.
The baby girl was born first, weighing 5 pounds, 3 ounces, and was 18 inches long, with her brother following at 5 pounds 6 ounces, and was 19 inches.
The couple has not disclosed the babies’ names yet. Nick drove his wife to the hospital in their Rolls-Royce Phantom, added Berger. Mariah, 41, thought she was experiencing false labor pains, but remained calm.
Nick, 30, was so nervous that he went to the wrong department at the hospital, and was led to the maternity ward by a nurse. They were reportedly listening to Mariah’s hit single “We Belong Together” after the children were born.
“My wife just gave me the most incredible anniversary gift ever in life! I won’t ever be able to top this!” tweeted the new dad following his children’s birth.
Mariah and Nick are expected to celebrate their third anniversary by renewing their wedding vows on Sunday. The singer announced her pregnancy last fall after previously suffering a miscarriage.

Upcoming singer/songwriter Frank Ocean, of the rap group Odd Future ran into some trouble with the law yesterday, when he was arrested in L.A. (April 29).
Details are unclear as to why LAPD picked Ocean up, but he took to his twitter account to vent about what happened.

While a guest on Big Boy's Neighborhood recently, Nicki Minaj had a no holds barred conversation about the dos and don'ts of sleeping in the nude.
What does Nicki Minaj sleep in?
Thongs and a t-shirt
Isn't that uncomfortable, you never just go commando?
Oh no, that's very uncomfortable for me. Like I don't know how women do that, I have some questions about girls who can do that. I have to ask them some questions like 'how are you able to do that?' because I can't.
You can ask me I've slept naked.
I have to have something around my vagina
You worried somebody might come around and steal it?
No (laughs), I can't say right now.
Doctors say you're actually supposed to, you're supposed to let it breathe
You're supposed to let it breathe? Your p*ssy must be really dry if you can just let it breathe for eight hours, I can't do that.
What's your opinion on this subject? Let it breathe or air it out?

Kanye West’s and Jay-Z’s Watch The Throne: We all know it’s coming, or at least we hope, but today The DOTR comes through with some news on one of the tracks that we can expect on hear on the disc. The track is titled “Lift Off” and will supposedly be the first track on the album. Production is handled by Jeff Bhasker and will feature two big name artists by the names of Beyonce and Bruno Mars. This news is most likely true, but we’ll keep it marked as rumor until we get confirmation. Look out for Watch The Throne when it drops later this year.

Fool me once, shame on you: fool me twice shame on me.
That's got to be what producer Bangladesh is thinking today, after admitting that he hasn't been compensated for constructing the "6'7" track for Lil Wayne's upcoming 'Tha Carter IV' album.
Mind you, this is the same producer who has complained in the past that he was never paid for the "A Milli" beat either.
"I f*ck with Wayne man. I had the opportunity to give him more music," Bang told MTV. "It's just hard to do. It's just hard to keep working for free. Aint got nothing to do with royalties, but you do work, you expect to get paid for the work and sh*t. You keep getting the run around so it's like you can't just keep giving somebody your best sh*t... it's hard to do."
Bangledesh had to know what he was walking into, and did it anyway. He wanted to the chance to work with Lil Wayne again after crafting 'Tha Carter III' banger, "A Milli." He took a leap of faith and may have struck out again.
He says there are several ways he could have been compensated.
"Producers get paid several ways - like there's different monies," Bang explained. "This aint got nothing to do with the royalties, it's just the fee what I charge for the beat and it hasn't been handled properly."
"6'7" will appear on on Wayne's upcoming 'Tha Carter IV' album.
Should we feel sorry for Bangledesh given the fact he wasn't paid before, and knew the risk going in?

Soulja told Rap-Up the two have already met face to face to face to discuss the possible move.
“I met with Baby and Slim down in Miami,” Soulja said. “He’s trying to get me to come over to Cash Money.”
It would be an interesting move for Soulja, who already has his own label, Stacks on Deck Entertainment. The allure of working with someone he has been a fan is compelling to Soulja though.
“I’ve been a fan of Cash Money since I was young. I’ve been listening to Birdman’s music since I was growing up. I would have never thought” Soulja added.
There is the issue of Soulja's contract with Interscope that would obviously have to be dealt with. The rapper owes them 2 more albums.
“I still got paperwork with Interscope Records, so I’m just trying to figure out what I’ma do. I got a lot of great options on the table,” he said.
What do you think of Soulja's possible move to Cash Money?

Fans had hoped to hear a J. Cole album by the end of 2010, that obviously didn't happen but there's reason to believe that this year we'll finally get his debut.
The Roc Nation artist says he feels his fans pain and assures them a release date is coming soon.
"I know my fans are frustrated with me, because I won't give a date," Cole said."I only gave a date one time in my career last year, and I smacked myself in the face because it was so unrealistic. Now I say it's coming soon, and it's really true, because we're in the final stages right now."
When Jay-Z signed Cole a couple of years ago it was assumed his album would be fast tracked, similar to what happened with Drake. Now it's possible Drake will be dropping his sophomore album by that time.
The Drake association is something Cole won't be able to shake, at least for now. The two are always compared by fans in a genre always looking for the next competitive battle.
In the end, Cole just needs to deliver on his potential and drops a great album.

Nardwuar the Human Serviette caught up with Lil Wayne during an 'I Am Music II' tour stop in Vancouncer, B.C..
As per his usual, Nardwuar had tons of gifts related to Weezy's hometown of New Orleans and his personal life.
Wayne reveals his first rap name was Shrimp Daddy, which I guess isn't all that unusual when you're from the N.O.. The question is do you think he would he have been as successful if he had kept the name?

Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer fired shots at Donald Trump during his appearance on the CBS Evening News yesterday (April 27).
Schieffer took Trump to task for questioning whether or not President Obama's grades were good enough to get into Harvard Law School.
"I have friends who have smart sons with great marks, great boards, great everything and they can't get into Harvard. We don't know a thing about this guy. There are a lot of questions that are unanswered about our President." Trump said.
Schieffer was quick to fire back at Trump.
"That's just code for saying he got into law school because he's black," Schieffer said. "This is an ugly strain of racism that's running through this whole thing."
The controversy comes right on the heels of Obama producing his long-form birth certificate after being hounded by Trump and other right wingers, who had claimed he wasn't born in the United States.
Trump said recently that he has always gotten along with "the blacks". Another remark some saw as racist.
Bottom line, do you think Donald Trump is racist for his recent remarks about Obama?

Freddie Gibbs is no fan of the based god movement.
At a recent concert at South Paw in Brooklyn, New York, Gangsta Gibbs, who recently signed with Young Jeezy's CTE imprint went in on Lil B.
"No f*ck shit, this aint no Lil B based god or no f*ggot ass sh*t like that up here," Gibbs told the crowd. "What the f*ck you thought this was? N*gga this is real rap. Based god get the f*ck outta here n*gga."
B has become a target for some rappers and fans alike after announcing he was naming his next album 'I'm Gay.'
Besides the diss track he released going at Joe Budden last year, B really isn't known to be a battle rapper. But in the spirit of competition I'd hope he would respond to Freddie.
Peep the video below, Gibbs starts dissing B at around 3:08 in.
