"You better lose yourself in the music, the moment/You own it, you better never let it go/You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow/This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo." - Eminem"Lose Yourself"
An aspiring rapper by the name of Cameron Grey got the chance of a lifetime Saturday, February 7, when he met Kanye West outside of the House of Blues in West Hollywood.
Cam begged Kanye to let him rap for him and the G.O.O.D. Music CEO obliged.
Cameron started with some freestyle bars before Yeezy asked him to spit a written. When it was over Kanye asked the young rapper if he would be willing to start as an assistant and exchanged contact information with him.
Peep Cameron's impromptu audition and let us know if you think he has what it takes.
The Mafia Dons share the story behind B.I.G.'s "Long Kiss Goodnight," where the legendary rapper spits a line about Lil Cease driving the car that permanently injured his leg, leaving him to permanently walk with a cane.
Lil Herb opened up about getting his big break in music after releasing "Kill Sh*t" featuring Lil Bibby, and the Chicago emcee believes it was their incredible bars that set them apart from the competition. He adds that the record opened a lot of doors for him in music, including "Chiraq" with Nicki Minaj, though Lil Herb admits that it took a while for him to "grow into the fame."
The conversation also touched on the Chicago spitter's projects, including his upcoming mixtape, "Ballin' Like I'm Kobe," which Lil Herb says he plans to heavily promote while going on the road for tons of shows.

Video After The Jump
There are things you can do to to alter your looks that you can never come back from. For 37-year old Henry Damon that's perfectly OK.
Damon wanted to look like Marvel super villain Red Skull. To achieve his goal he had part of his nose removed, implanted several subdermal implants into his forehead, dyed his eyes and topped that off with an assortment of tattoos.
The results were freakish to say the least. Check out a few photos of Damon's transformation above and below.

After a bit of a wait we finally get a look at Kanye West's Adidas Yeezy Boost sneakers.
According to GQ, only 3000 pairs will be sold at $350 apiece. The website called yeezy.supply, has a countdown clock indicating a countdown to February 12. The date coincides with the beginning of New York Fashion Week, where West is expected to officially unveil the shoes.
With only 3000 pairs being made available to the public demand will be high. Hopefully people will be civilized when they go on sale. We don't need or want to see the kind of madness associated with the sale ofMichael Jordanretro sneakers.
Police have opened a criminal investigation regarding possible foul play involved in the Bobbi Kristina Brown tragedy. Bobbi has been in a medically induced coma since being found face down and unresponsive in the bathtub of her Roswell, Georgia home on Saturday, January 31.
TMZ reports that cops are eyeing Bobbi's boyfriend Nick Gordon as they look into injuries found on the 21-year old daughter of Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston.
The initial story that came out is that Gordon discovered Bobbi along with her friendMax Lomaswhen they came to the home after Gordon became concerned following a conversation with Bobbi. The couple was living apart at the time of the incident.
Lomas is now telling a different story that includes explosive claims.

According to Lomas, he went to Bobbi's house at 9 a.m. on the morning in question. He hung out with Gordon. When he asked where Bobbi was Gordon told him she was in the bedroom.
At some point Nick wandered away. At 10 a.m. a cable guy showed up. Max let him inside the home. The worker told him he needed access to the bedroom. Lomas didn't know where Gordon was so he took the cable guy to the bedroom and found Bobbi in the bathtub.
He screamed for Nick who came in and administered CPR. Lomas claims that Gordon cleaned up blood stains prior to police arriving.
Gordon reportedly has a history of violence involving Bobbi.
Over the last several years Jennifer Lawrence has become one of the most sought after actresses in Hollywood. At only 24-years old she has already won an Oscar for her role in Silver Lining's Playbook.
Her star has continued to shine even brighter with her critically acclaimed turn in American Hustle and her role in The Hunger Games movie series.
Lawrence suffered the embarrassment of having private naked photos of her leaked onto the internet by a hacker late last year.
"I started to write an apology, but I don’t have anything to say I’m sorry for. I was in a loving, healthy, great relationship for four years. It was long distance, and either your boyfriend is going to look at porn or he’s going to look at you. It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime,” she told Vanity Fair in October 2014. “It is a sexual violation. It’s disgusting. The law needs to be changed, and we need to change. That’s why these Web sites are responsible. Just the fact that somebody can be sexually exploited and violated, and the first thought that crosses somebody’s mind is to make a profit from it. It’s so beyond me. I just can’t imagine being that detached from humanity. I can’t imagine being that thoughtless and careless and so empty inside.”
Lawrence seems to have put the bad experience behind her and grown stronger from it. She decided to strip naked on her own terms for Vanity Fair. Check out the photo up top and let us know what you think in the comment section below.
Sports Illustrated's 2015 Swimsuit Edition will feature it's first plus size model, Robyn Lawley. At size 12 she certainly qualifies as the curviest model to grace the pages of S.I., but when the average American woman is a size 14 does Robyn really qualify as plus size?
“I don’t know if I consider myself as a plus-size model or not,” Lawley said via TIME. “I just consider myself a model because I’m trying to help women in general accept their bodies.”
With the announcement social media exploded with critics who don't think Robyn qualifies as plus size.
Robyn explained to the TODAY Show that even though she doesn't consider herself to be plus size she's struggled with her body image.
"When I first started I really had an immense hate for my body. I hold it really accountable for holding me back," the 25-year old Australian model said. "I just felt disappointed. I was like, 'what didn't I get a skinny body?' It's just such a feat. I'm really happy and I'm so thrilled with Sports Illustrated for using me."
Do you think Sports Illustrated dropped the ball with this one and should have picked someone the average American woman can relate to as plus size? Plus there are millions of men who like their women a little thicker.
