"I'm a Genious!" ... Kanye West states.

Kanye West has been vocal and through his vamping.. or.. in my opinion... EDUCATION of new perspectives that offend the normal way of thinking of how and what we should believe.. has not only created a more positive public relations appeal, but has revealed that he may indeed be the PICASSO,

"This is the one person I know, so I can go and let out everything that I feel about every single bogus Weekly cover. Every single bogus skit ... Every person who feels it's OK to treat celebrities like zoo animals," West said. HE IS NOT A FREAK!

"I'm totally weird. I'm totally honest and I'm totally inappropriate sometimes. For me to say I wasn't a genius -- I would just be lying to you and to myself!"

"I stood up to drug dealers in Chicago and said, 'You can’t have my publishing, come and kill me. Do whatever you’re gonna do, but you’re not gonna bully me. You’re not gonna stop me.' Because my mother made me believe in myself!"

"Media does everything they can to break creatives, to break artists, to break people’s spirits. And I do everything I can to break media."

“My grandfather loved Ali ’til he died and my grandmother hated Ali. So ya gonna love me, or ya gonna hate me but I’mma be me.”

"There’s no black guy at the end of the runway in Paris in all honesty {Kimmel: What about the Steve Harvey collection?} No! There’s no Steve Harvey collection. No extra buttons on jackets or anything like that.”

“It’s not about racism anymore, it’s classism. Like Paula Deen, she was old school with it. They like, we don’t do it like that anymore, that’s racist. We classist now. Classism is when they try to say, ‘You’re a rapper…your girl is on a reality show so you’re not up here with us. We’re old money.’ It’s snobbery and I’m not into all that snobbery, seriously. All we want to do is to make awesome stuff. All we want is a real shot.”

“I refuse to follow the rules that society has set up and the way that they control people with low self-esteem, with improper information, with branding, with marketing. I refuse to follow those rules. It’s about truth. It’s about information. It’s about awesomeness. And the only luxury is time, time that you spend with your family. That’s the only luxury, so the concept of luxury is improper to me.”

"Fashion is about emotion.. swag.. its not practical... club... style. We presented leather jogging pants that they did not go with.. now are a fit."

"I was told to stop giving million dollar ideas away!"

"Michael Jackson had to fight to get his videos on MTV... because he was black."

"I can't break those walls down, to have meetings with everyone, the real people that produce the clothes on our backs...they just sit and look at you!"

In a sometimes stream-of-consciousness delivery, West talked passionately about discrimination based on class, protecting his music publishing from covetous drug dealers, false humility and his thoughts on and experience with high fashion. He also ranted against the Hollywood Walk of Fame organization for denying his girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, a star and reflected on his recent negative interactions with paparazzi.

NIKE, APPLE, STEVE JOBS, WALT DISNEY, GIVENCHY, MICHAEL ANGELO, HOWARD HUGHES, DAVID STERN<----->tastes, culture, art... the quality of lyfe..This is the level of inspirational meaningful and lyfe changing creativity Kanye lives and breathes on.

To me, KANYE IS A CREATIVE GENIUS! An out-of-box and never fit in the square eccentric I can do and be ANYTHING I want yet am frustrated because YOU... THEM..dont' choose to understand me, won't let me in... individual!

So, Kanye creates out of his existence from his experience. A trendsetter! Not a replica! Yet, no matter how much money he has, how creatively genius he is, how truthfully boastful he speaks...THOSE THAT ARE IN CONTROL will create a NEW LEVEL that we, African Americans can NEVER BE A PART OF!

Kanye's "rant" as media wants us to believe to de-value and laugh away some real deep messages that may open our eyes... OPENED MINES!

Every step Kanye takes will be part of histories tales 50 years from now. He is the real reality show we watch but now let's watch to see what he see's. Hear what he hears. To really understand the indepth messages and meanings.

TLC's T-Boz and Chilli Exposes Epic Career, Pebbles & LA Reid in VH1's Biopic 'Crazy Sexy Cool' VIDEO/ PEBBLES RESPONDS

2013-10-15T21:20:00.001-07:00

TLC, the superstar girl group of the 1990s, is officially back with new music, a movie about them and plans to tour. However, the buzz is all over the internet bringing back years of old skeletons.

On The Breakfast Club in NYC, T-Boz and Chilli talk about the CrazySexyCool TLC biopic premiere next week, their 20th anniversary album, which is in stores now AND CONFIRMS the rumors now portrayed in the upcoming biopic about how LA Reid and Pebbles, who signed and created TLC, did them dirty, took their money, made them pay $1million per letter to own the rights to "TLC", their bankruptcy and more.

When VH-1 premieres "CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story" on October 21, a new generation of potential fans will learn about the groundbreaking trio. Chilli and T-Boz were closely involved from start to finish in developing the script, casting and preparing the actors, Chilli said. "This is our baby."

Actress-singer Keke Palmer plays Chilli, rapper Lil' Mama portrays Left Eye and Drew Sidora is T-Boz. "We basically took them under our wings and we shared a lot of stories with them," Chilli said in a CNN interview. "We spent a lot of time with them, and they were very observant when it came to looking at how Tionne and I interact with each other, the chemistry that we naturally have."

The girls told The Breakfast Club about their falling out with former manager, Perri 'Peebles' Reid, after she allegedly swindled their earnings, forcing them to later file for bankruptcy. T-Boz told the morning show that Peebles did not see the movie; however she could sue them for defamation, adding "She's ready to sue!" T-Boz explained, "She said if she sees one thing she doesn't like."

2013-07-20T10:12:00.000-07:00

KimiRhochelle Entertainment Publicist twitter/pinterest/instagram= @kimirhochelle +KimiRhochelle Porter

Brothers Robert and Julian plan on selling the family's multi-million dollar technology business, without the approval of partner Isaac. While all may seem well in business, their personal lives are full of betrayal and deceit. As a wicked tale of lies and backstabbing unfolds, the players fight for money and love. But who will end up rich, and who will end up dead?

"Deceitful", directed by Jason Horton, opens with a steamy sex scene and then it gets right to business. The business of lying, cheating, scheming and just about anything else you can imagine. The story is centered on Robert, his brother Julian and Isaac. The three men run a very successful software business that has made them all very rich but Robert thinks it is about time they sell it off and move on to other things. Julian does not seem bothered by it but their partner Isaac is very upset over the whole thing and he feels betrayed. Meantime Julian and his wife arranged a dinner party for the company as a way to celebrate selling it and becoming richer than they are now. They want the dinner to be nice but their normal housemaid is on vacation so they bring in her niece, Victoria to do the work and prepare the meal. As the film moves a long it becomes clear that everyone has some sort of scheme and motive, even the new housemaid.

"Deceitful" has an All-Star Cast consisting of Fredro Starr, Steve "Layzie Bone" Howse, Jackie Christie, Nancy Gomez, Jenn Pinto, Terry Savage, Kahlilah Harris, Sal Vance, Andre Boyer, Warren Watkins, Dorian Gregory and Veronica Rodriquez.

VIDEO: DMX Goes Off On "Iyanla: Fix My Life"

2013-03-07T14:10:00.000-08:00

DMX proves that it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks. The rapper recently sat down for a taping of :Iyanla: Fix My Life" on OWN and from a sneak preview, it seems that X flipped out on the TV self-help guru.

"Shut the f--- up man. You ain’t got to be intimidated man. Just stop running your mouth!" he yells at her in one scene.

But Iyanla isn't having it. "He don't get to roll up in our park and play his games," she tells her crew. After asking him if he's on drugs, Iyanla later barks back at the rapper, "You don't get to speak to me EVER AGAIN!" The explosive episode airs on April 13 on Oprah's OWN at 10pm ET.

DMX has faced a history of personal challenges including drug addiction and several arrests. Last year, the rapper visited "RapFix Live" and showed an array of emotions, from crying for his mother to calling out new rappers like Drake.

VIDEO/ BET'S The Real Husbands of Hollywood #RHOH A SMASH HIT!

2013-01-16T09:53:00.001-08:00

The "Real Husbands of Hollywood"(RHOH) premiered last night and the reviews are off the chain. It looks like RHOH is BET's NEW SMASH HIT comedy show!

With Kevin Hart as the lead character of a group of men which includes Nelly, Boris Kodjoe, Robin Thicke, Duane Martin, Nick Cannon, and J.B. Smoove, RHOH is shaping up to be the funniest UN-reality show that we've seen in a very long time.

Kevin Hart describes the show as “the first fake un-reality show.” And as the viewers watched... it was an ingenious concept!

RHOH begins with Kevin Hart lounging in the backseat of his luxury car, basking in his own success, and reveals: “Before my daddy got on drugs, he once told me that for every boss there’s a hundred wannabe bosses. I had no idea that those wannabe bosses would be my boys.”

Yep, the line was funny... but there were so many one liners that had twitter fans saying "LMBO"!

I gotta cop me a 'Break A Wear' suit!

MITCHES

I don't even know Nelly's real name.

You represent white people? It's the only way I can afford to represent you.

He arrives to a party at Cannon’s house with two sexy eye candy women on his arms only to realize that its a kid’s party. He later gets jumped by one of these kids over a pie which leads to a fall out with Cannon. We find out that Kevin has a crush on Nicole Ari Parker (Boris’ wife), Tisha Campbell-Martin (Duane’s wife) or rather she has a crush on him; and Paula Patton (Robin’s wife).

The ONLY NEGATIVE..... it was a 30 minute show... leaving the audience wanting more. Perhaps that was the goal. The show needs to be at least an hour!

RHOH is a spoof of many other reality shows except the focus is on a group of successful entertainers surrounded by constant skits that keep you laughing. A parody of how they see themselves.

Hart debuted his version of the concept as a series of mini-skits during the 2011 BET Awards. It was funny then and definitely funny now! The show’s cast poke fun at their public reputation: Kodjoe billed as the “pretty a** motherf**ker,” Cannon, who wears an “I Heart Mimi” apron, Dwayne Martin as the Hollywood Hustler and Hart with the Napoleon syndrome that talk big mess is "Mr. New Money.

The RHOH airs Tuesdays on BET and promises guest appearances from Shaq, Cedric the Entertainer and Jay Leno.

BIG SHOUT OUT TO THE PRODUCERS: Chris Spencer, Dave Becky, Jesse Collins, Kevin Hart, Ralph Farquhar, Stan Lathan, Stephen Hill, Tim Gibbons

SPIKE LEE "WON'T WATCH DJANGO" / VIDEO

2012-12-24T08:47:00.001-08:00

Director Spike Lee’s decades long feud with fellow filmmaker Quentin Tarantino appears to continue.
.

The Inside Man auteur slammed Tarantino’s latest movie, the slavery-themed revenge thriller Django Unchained, in a recent interview, even though he hasn’t see it.

“I cant speak on it cause I’m not gonna see it,” Lee told VIDE TV “All I’m going to say is that it’s disrespectful to my ancestors. That’s just me…I’m not speaking on behalf of anybody else.”
Lee continued his criticism of the potential Oscar nominee on Twitter.

“American Slavery Was Not A Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western. It Was A Holocaust. My Ancestors Are Slaves.Stolen From Africa. I Will Honor Them,” Lee tweeted.

THE LEE AND TARANTINO FEUD BEGAN in 1997 during the release of his cult classic Jackie Brown, because of that films ubiquitous use of the n-word.

“The problem with Jackie Brown,” Spike Lee said, “I will say it again and again. I have a definite problem with Quentin Tarantino’s excessive use of the n-word. And let the record show that I never said that he can not use that word — I’ve used that word in many of my films — but I think something is wrong with him. You look at Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs and even that thing with Christian Slater, True Romance. It’s just the n-word, the n-word, the n-word. He says he grew up on Blaxploitation films and that they were his favorite films but he has to realize that those films do not speak to the breadth of the entire African-American experience. I mean the guy’s just stupid.”

In his defense, Tarantino explained in a Playboy interview, “I am working with The English language. I am not just a film director who shoots movies. I’m an artist, and good, bad, or indifferent, I’m coming from that place. All my choices, the way I live my life, are about that.”
Despite scoring rave review, the high volume of n-words in Django Unchained has also been a source of some controversy.

Ck out MANOLOGY..Book by Tyrese Gibson and Rev Run

2012-11-21T17:57:00.000-08:00

Tyrese and Rev Run have joined forces to write a new book titled Manology, based on relationship advice. Below is more info on the book which can be pre-ordered on iTunes or Amazon. Available on February 5th, 2013.

Tyrese Gibson and Rev Run of Run DMC fame have formed a lasting friendship in the unlikeliest of ways. After an unexpected argument—Rev Run insisted that marriage is forever, Tyrese pushed that you could bail when the sex went bad—the oddest of odd couples decided not just to agree to disagree, but to team up and open their debate to a larger audience. Even though they’re at different points in their journey, Rev Run is married with two kids and Tyrese is a single dad still hesitant to settle down, both have been around the block a few times.

Manology presents no-nonsense, easy-to-use, and unconventional love advice for both understanding and handling the man in every woman’s life. Their teachings include: avoiding the MAN-ipulation of a noncommittal male, why 20 percent of a man’s happiness in a relationship is based on fantastic sex, and shutting down a man’s cheating radar. With Rev Run’s humor and goodwill, and Tyrese’s straight talk and sex appeal, Manology speaks to any woman looking to finally take control of her love life and snag the man of her dreams.
