Gucci Mane Covers The Source

12348817860?profile=original


Gucci Mane shows his grill for the cover of The Source’s annual Green Issue. The feature is written by moi and hits newsstands March 22nd. Below is an excerpt of La Flare making the Forbes list last year.


Source: You don’t make Forbes by being stupid. Do you feel like people doubt your intelligence?

Gucci: Yeah. The critics and bloggers ridicule and scrutinize [but] it fuels my fire. I can’t say I want to enjoy all the

spoils of the game without being criticized. I actually welcome it as a part of success. I don’t want everybody to like me. So many people feel like I don’t deserve the things I got. I know I worked so hard for ‘em, so [criticism] makes me work even harder.

On a personal note, this is technically my first cover story. No (disrespect Lil’ Boosie). Shouts to Bonsu Thompson and the countless others along the way (Tiffany Chiles, Jack Erwin, Vanessa Satten, Rachelle Gauthier, Datwon Thomas, etc.) that have helped make this moment possible. You are appreciated.

Move over Michael Jackson, Eminem is now the most popular artist on Facebook; alive or dead.

AOL News reports that the Detroit lyricist officially claimed the title over the weekend when he surpassed the King of Pop with the most likes on the social networking site. As of press time Em has 30,339,050 likes, while MJ has 29,889,0268.

Last month, the Detroit bred superstar made headlines after he exceeded Lady Gaga’s stats on Facebook. She is currently in second place with 30,150,676 likes. This battle is sure to be ongoing, as both Gaga and Jackson are known to have very supportive fanbases.

In related news, Em’s third solo album for Interscope, The Eminem Show, was recently certified diamond by the the Recording Institute Association of America (RIAA). This isn’t the first time he shipped over 10,000,000 copies of one of his discs. 2001’s The Marshall Mathers LP also earned the Em a diamond plaque.

It was a family affair as G.O.O.D. Music helped Common celebrate his 39th birthday with a surprise party at The Redbury Hotel in Hollywood on Sunday night (March 13). Kanye West and Kid Cudi stuck close by the Chi-town rapper as he blew out the candles on his movie-themed cake inscribed with “Happy Born Day Rash.” The birthday boy mingled with actors Meagan Good and Erik Fellows before heading over to a nearby bowling alley to keep the celebration going until the early hours of Monday.

In related news, Kanye is scheduled to perform on March 19 at VEVO’s Power Station during the SXSW Film Conference and Festival in Austin, Texas.

Lil Boosie’s Mom Urges Fans for Support


While Lil Boosie sits behind bars and awaits trial on first degree murder charges, his mother, Connie Hatch released a video online today (March 14), asking fans for their help.

As XXLMag.com previously reported, the Baton Rouge, LA rapper, born Torrence Hatch, was indicted on a first-degree murder charge for his alleged involvement in a shooting incident from last October that left one man dead. That particular charge, in the state of Louisiana, carries a maximum sentence of the death penalty.

In an effort to rally support, Boosie’s family has created a Web site, www.boosiejustice.com, as an outlet for fans to speak out against the charges as well as donate money to his family. “[Lil Boosie] and his family ask that you to please take action now,” the site states. “Let yourself be heard. If you are part of a civil rights organization we want to hear from you.”

Ms. Hatch also sent a message to supporters via Lil Boosie’s latest video “Green Light Special.” “Torrence Hatch is innocent,” she said in the clip [Watch above]. “We want to make sure he gets a fair trial. The site contains info from Torrence attorney and family on how you can help us fight this charge. The charge has placed a huge emotional and financial burden on the family. We need your support.”

Boosie is currently serving a two year sentence for a separate drug and weapons case stemming from a 2008 arrest.

Stay tuned to XXLMag.com as more on the story develops.

Rihanna creates an event no matter where she is. So here we check her out leaving Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica. Ca yesterday (February 13).

Looking a bit buzzed or perhaps tired, the singer showed lots of cleavage as she walked to her vehicle outside one of her favorite restaurants.

What do you think of RiRi's curly do?

12348801685?profile=originalUsher's not too recent past may be coming back to haunt him.

There's a reported sex tape being shopped around Hollywood, featuring the R&B singer and ex wife Tameka Foster.

Having viewed a couple of scenes from the skin flick, TMZ is confirming that it's authentic and that the two are both "givers." 

Neither Usher or Tameka have commented since this information leaked. I would imagine Usher is scrambling to stop the tape from coming out. He and Tameka have 2 kids together, plus he has a good image to uphold.

Hard to imagine some porn company won't pay for this though and mass produce it

Getting a role in a blockbuster movie is a great way to start your movie career.

Starring alongside Michelle Rodriguez and Aaron Eckhart, Ne-Yo plays Cpl. Kevin Harris in the alien invasion flick 'Battle: Los Angeles' which pulled in $36 million in it's opening weekend to nab the # 1 spot at the box office.

 

Ne-Yo says his 1st movie role was physically demanding.

"It was some of the most difficult stuff I've ever been through in my life,' Ne-yo told AP regarding doing his own stunts. "They put us through boot camp with real live marines to make sure we actually looked and acted the part."

Rounding out the top 5 are 'Rango' (23 mil), 'Red Riding Hood' ($13 mil), The Adjustment Bureau ($11 Mil) and 'Mars Needs Moms' ($6.8 mil).

The UFC Buys Strikeforce [Video]

12348820688?profile=originalVideo After The Jump

Zuffa, the parent company who owns UFC, bought Strikeforce, the UFC's biggest competitor. This isn't their first acquisition, as Zuffa purchased and absorbed Pride Fighting Championships as well as World Extreme Cagefighting. However, the plan is to continue operating as two, separate promotions.

UFC president Dana White did an extensive interview with MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani on the subject.

White mentions several times that business will continue as usual. That means that Strikeforce's April 9 event will go on without any changes. Much like before the WEC merged with the UFC, fighters won't fight for both promotions, and Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker will continue to run that promotion.

Strikeforce has contracts with Showtime to provide fights. White has mocked Showtime's involvement in MMA, and has contentious relationships with Strikeforce fighters like Paul Daley and Josh Barnett, as well as other employees like commentator Frank Shamrock. Because of that, White says he doubts that he will visit a Strikeforce show any time soon. He also has kept his hard line against co-promoting shows, so don't expect to see Fedor Emelianenko in the Octagon. The Russian superstar only appears at shows co-promoted by his company, M-1, and that stance isn't likely to change.

It's too early to say exactly what this means for MMA's future, but rest assured that it's a game changer. Things changed so quickly that just hours after the story broke, the UFC's official twitter promoted that tickets were on sale for Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley.

Jennifer Lopez hit the floor with Pitbull and now she’s got another rapper waiting in the wings. The sexy superstar has enlisted her current favorite MC Lil Wayne for her next single.

The “American Idol” judge revealed that the Young Money boss is featured on the follow-up to her smash “On the Floor.” “My next single I believe will be a song called ‘I’m Into You’ and it’s gonna feature Lil Wayne, so look out for that,” she told fans during a chat for Saturday Night Online.

She went on to share why Weezy took the place of Nas as her favorite rapper. “To me just the things he says and the way he says it is very unique, and I feel like he has a fresh new voice,” she said, previously telling Angie Martinez that she works out to his music. “He might be one of the best out there right now. He might be the best.”

While her seventh studio album Love? is currently slated for April 19, J.Lo says it will likely be released in late May after two or three singles.

Also on the busy diva’s agenda are Spanish versions to her songs from Love? followed by another full-length Spanish album and a greatest hits package. In addition, she is contemplating a world tour for later this year.

Video After The Jump

 

When Yelawolf talks about his crew being the best, that's classic hip hop right there.

That's throwing down the gauntlet right off the bat, letting other n*ggas know they really don't want it. Is he right though?

"There might be some underground crews that are coming close, but these dudes don't want it man," Yelawolf says "Artistically and creativlely, we got the hardest crew."

The 2.0 crew of Yelawolf, Slaughterhouse (Royce Da 5'9, Joe Budden, Crooked I, Joell Ortiz) and Eminem are formidable, but there are other really good crews out there.

G-Unit, D-Block, The Diplomats, 1017 Brick Squad, Young Money, Militia, G.O.O.D Music, Square Off are just a few off the top.

What crews do you think could go toe to toe with Yela and company in a battle?
