Brand Nubian emcee Lord Jamar is not a Macklemore fan. He's criticized him in the past for the pro-gay song "Same Love." In his latest interview with Vlad TV, Jamar takes issue with the Seattle rapper for his four Grammy wins and not being a real hip hop artist.
"How the f*ck are you going to circumvent the creators of the genre? I don't know any black people that have Macklemore's album. Not one" Jamar told DJ Vlad. "Nobody that you would call a real hip hop... what I know to be a true hip hop fan, or a hip hop enthusiast, or where hip hop truly comes from. Nobody has a Macklemore album. We're in a climate where we have the Macklemore's and the Pussywolf (Yelawolf) and all these other motherf*ckers, who black people have never heard of. Never heard one song. At least we've heard Eminem songs before. We never even heard these motherf*ckers. But their going on tours. They got millions of fans. They making money. And it's no longer saying, 'We have to come through the channels of real hip hop to be accepted.' They're like: 'F*ck y'all motherf*ckers. I got all these white ass fans. I don't need y'all black motherf*ckers.'
Jamar was much more positive when speaking about Eminem.
"Eminem is a different kind of story," Jamar said. "He came up worshiping black emcees. He was the first one that white people were able to look up to and worship. But you gotta look at the alter he initially worshiped at. He did the study. Putting in that time to do the knowledge to the history that you're coming into. Eminem is one of those dudes that's why I can respect him."

Written by Vladimir Isachenkov for the Associated Press
KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia's parliament approved a motion to use the country's military in Ukraine after a request from President Vladimir Putin as protests in Russian-speaking cities turned violent Saturday, sparking fears of a wide-scale invasion.
Russian President Vladimir Putin
The motion follows President Barack Obama's warning Friday "there will be costs" if Russia intervenes militarily, sharply raising the stakes in the conflict over Ukraine's future and evoking memories of Cold War brinkmanship.
"I'm submitting a request for using the armed forces of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine pending the normalization of the socio-political situation in that country," Putin said in his request sent to parliament.
Russia's upper house also recommended that Moscow recalls its ambassador from Washington over Obama's comments.
Ukraine had already accused Russia on Friday of a "military invasion and occupation" in the strategic peninsula of Crimea where Russia's Black Sea fleet is based. Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk called on Moscow "to recall their forces, and to return them to their stations," according to the Interfax news agency. "Russian partners, stop provoking civil and military resistance in Ukraine."
The crisis was sparked when Ukraine's deposed president, Victor Yanukovych, ditched a deal for closer ties to the European Union and instead turned toward Moscow. Months of protests followed, culminating in security forces killing dozens of protesters and Yanukovych fleeing to Russia.
Ignoring Obama's warning, Putin said the "extraordinary situation in Ukraine" was putting at risk the lives of Russian citizens and military personnel stationed at a naval base that Moscow has maintained in the Black Sea peninsula since the Soviet collapse.
Putin's call came as pro-Russian demonstrations broke out in Ukraine's Russian-speaking east, where protesters raised Russian flags and beat up supporters of the new Ukrainian government.
Putin's motion loosely refers to the "territory of Ukraine" rather than specifically to Crimea, raising the possibility that Moscow could use military force in other Russian-speaking provinces in eastern and southern Ukraine, where many oppose the new authorities in Kiev. Pro-Russian protests were reported in the eastern cities of Kharkiv, Donetsk and Luhansk and the southern port of Odessa.
Ukraine's population is divided in loyalties between Russia and Europe, with much of western Ukraine advocating closer ties with the European Union while eastern and southern regions look to Russia for support. Crimea, a semi-autonomous region of Ukraine, is mainly Russian-speaking.
In Saturday's parliamentary session in Moscow, a deputy house speaker said Obama had insulted Russia and crossed a "red line," and the upper house recommended the Russian ambassador in Washington be recalled. It will be up to Putin to decide whether that happens.
In Crimea, the pro-Russian prime minister who took office after gunmen seized the regional Parliament claimed control of the military and police there and asked Putin for help in keeping peace, sharpening the discord between the two neighboring Slavic countries.
Ukraine's acting president, Oleksandr Turchynov, said the election of Sergei Aksyonov as prime minister of Crimea was invalid.
Ukrainian officials and some Western diplomats said that a Russian military intervention is already well underway after heavily armed gunmen in unmarked military uniforms seized control of local government buildings, airports and other strategic facilities in Crimea in recent days.
Crimea only became part of Ukraine in 1954 when Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev transferred jurisdiction from Russia, a move that was a mere formality when both Ukraine and Russia were part of the Soviet Union. The Soviet breakup in 1991 meant Crimea landed in an independent Ukraine.
Russia put pressure on Ukraine from another direction when a spokesman for state gas company Gazprom said that Ukraine owed $1.59 billion in overdue bills for imported gas. Sergei Kuprianov was quoted by the RIA-Novosti agency as saying the gas arrears would endanger a recent discount granted by Russia. The discount lowered the price to $268.50 per thousand from other $400. The Russian payment demand and loss of the discount would accelerate Ukraine's financial crisis. The county is almost broke and seeking emergency credit from the International Monetary Fund.
Russia has taken a confrontational stance toward its southern neighbor after Yanukovych fled the country. Yanukovych was voted out of office by parliament after weeks of protests ended in violence that left more than 80 people dead.
Aksyonov, the Crimea leader, appealed to Putin "for assistance in guaranteeing peace and calmness on the territory of the autonomous republic of Crimea." Aksyonov was voted in by the Crimean parliament on Thursday after pro-Russia gunmen seized the building and as tensions soared over Crimea's resistance to the new authorities in Kiev, who took office this week.
Obama called on Russia to respect the independence and territory of Ukraine and not try to take advantage of its neighbor, which is undergoing political upheaval.
He said such action by Russia would represent a "profound interference" in matters he said must be decided by the Ukrainian people.
"The United States will stand with the international community in affirming that there will be costs for any military intervention in Ukraine," he said. Obama did not say what those costs might be.
Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt wrote on Twitter that it was "obvious that there is Russian military intervention in Ukraine. Likely immediate aim is to set up puppet pro-Russian semi-state in Crimea."

At the United Nations, the Ukrainian ambassador, Yuriy Sergeyev, said Friday that Russian transport aircraft and 11 attack helicopters had arrived in Crimea illegally, and that Russian troops had taken control of two airports in Crimea.

He described the gunmen posted outside the two airports as Russian armed forces as well as "unspecified" units.
Russia has kept silent on claims of military intervention and has said any troop movements are within agreed rules, even as it maintained its hard-line stance on protecting ethnic Russians in Crimea.

Meanwhile, flights remained halted from Simferopol's airport. Dozens of armed men in military uniforms without markings patrolled the area. They didn't stop or search people leaving or entering the airport, and refused to talk to journalists.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman's exact cause of death has been revealed.
The New York City medical examiner ruled Friday that the critically acclaimed actor died from taking cocaine, heroin, amphetamines and benzodiazepines. He was found on February 2nd in his New York City apartment with a needle still stuck in his arm. Hoffman was 46-years old.
Because the blood levels in Hoffman's system were not disclosed it's impossible to know which drug was the primary reason for his death.
Dr. Charles McKay, a spokesman for the American College of Medical Toxicology and a medical toxicologist for Hartford Hospital in Connecticut, spoke about the autopsy results.
"There's a difference between a stimulant death, which would be cocaine and the amphetamines, and a narcotic death, like heroin," he said, according to the Associated Press.
Heroin slows your heart and breathing rate, suppresses your emotions, causes depression, lack of appetite and can cause brain damage.
Once addicted to heroin, a users single mission in life is to consume the drug. Severe withdrawal symptoms like restlessness, muscle and bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea, vomiting, cold flashes with goose bumps (“cold turkey”) and leg movements.
Cocaine is a stimulant that can cause an irregular heartbeat, paranoia, constrict blood to the brain and cause lung and liver damage.

Chris Brown has been dealing with several medical issues that have been at the root of his angry outbursts, according to the anger management facility he's been in for the last month and a half.
The singer has been diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, bipolar II disorder and severe sleep deprivation. The weed smoking habit Chris picked up was one way he was improperly self medicating
TMZ obtained a report from the facility that details Chris' diagnosis.
"Mr. Brown became aggressive and acted out physically due to his untreated mental health disorder, severe sleep deprivation, inappropriate self-medicating and untreated PTSD."
Chris has responded well to treatment, medication prescribed for his conditions and relaxation exercises. He has tested negative for weed during his stay at the facility and is working hard to complete his court ordered community service.
"Mr. Brown's attitude has been beyond exemplary in regard to his community service responsibilities."
The National Institute of Mental Health writes there are several causes for PTSD.
PTSD develops after a terrifying ordeal that involved physical harm or the threat of physical harm. The person who develops PTSD may have been the one who was harmed, the harm may have happened to a loved one, or the person may have witnessed a harmful event that happened to loved ones or strangers.
Chris Brown and his mother Joyce Hawkins
The treatment facility didn't disclose how Chris got PTSD, but in 2009 he told MTV that he witnessed his mother, Joyce Hawkins, being physically abused by his stepfather when he was "7 or 8" years old.

Da Brat freely admits she was wrong for hitting Shayla Stevens with a bottle of run during a 2007 altercation and believes the victim is entitled to some compensation, but the for So So Def rapper was stunned when a Cobb County Superior Court civil jury awarded Stevens $6.4 million.
"That was a hell of a shock. I was baffled," Brat told TMZ Live. "I knew I shouldn't have did what I did. And I knew she was entitled to something, but $6.4 million... hello no. They had all of her doctor bills and they said it came to about $60,000. They didn't even have a neurologist there. A true neurologist or a neurological surgeon or anything like that to show proof that there was neurological damage."
When asked if she could afford to pay the judgement Da Brat, real name Shawntae Harris, was brutally honest.
"Pffft, hell no [I can't pay it]," she said. "I'm just gonna do what I do. Work and whatever ever money I get, I guess she's entitled to some of it, but I owe a lot of people. She gotta stand in line."
Here are some photos of Stevens after the attack, via Dennis Byron and TMZ.

On Thursday (February 27), President Obama introduced his "My Brother's Keeper" initiative aimed at helping young men of color.
This wasn't just another speech to push across some other hidden agenda. The President is putting millions of dollars behind this initiative.
$350 million from private funds and corporate leaders will be spent over the next five years to fund programs that are the most successful in helping young men of color. Those programs will then be used in communities all over the U.S.
President Obama also signed a presidential memorandum directing the federal government to determine the best methods to improve the odds for young men of color.
[I]n this effort, government cannot play the only -- or even the primary -- role. We can help give every child access to quality preschool and help them start learning from an early age, but we can’t replace the power of a parent who’s reading to that child. We can reform our criminal justice system to ensure that it's not infected with bias, but nothing keeps a young man out of trouble like a father who takes an active role in his son’s life.
In other words, broadening the horizons for our young men and giving them the tools they need to succeed will require a sustained effort from all of us. Parents will have to parent -- and turn off the television, and help with homework. Teachers will need to do their part to make sure our kids don’t fall behind and that we're setting high expectations for those children and not giving up on them. Business leaders will need to create more mentorships and apprenticeships to show more young people what careers are out there. Tech leaders will need to open young eyes to fields like computer science and engineering. Faith leaders will need to help our young men develop the values and ethical framework that is the foundation for a good and productive life.
So we all have a job to do. And we can do it together -- black and white, urban and rural, Democrat and Republican.
Bill O'Reilly of Fox News was at the White House to hear the plan laid out in person. Afterwards he and Senior Advisor to President Obama, Valerie B. Jarrett, clashed on The O'Reilly Factor when discussing the influence of "gangsta rap" culture on our youth.
"You have to attack the fundamental disease if you want to cure it," O'Reilly said. "Now I submit to you that you're going to have to get people like Jay Z, Kanye West... All of these gangsta rappers to knock it off. Listen to me, you gotta get them where they live. They idolize these guys with their hats on backwards, and the terrible rap lyrics, and the drugs and all of that. You gotta get these guys. And I think President Obama can do it."
Are West and Jay Z are part of what's wrong with America's African American and Latino youths? Listen to the full discussion below and let us know what you think.
