R.I.P. Gary Coleman
February 8, 1968 – May 28, 2010Former child star Gary Coleman, who rose to fame as the wisecracking youngster Arnold Jackson on the TV sitcom “Diff’rent Strokes” but grew up to grapple with a troubled adulthood, has died. He was 42.
Coleman died of a brain hemorrhage at a Provo, Utah hospital, Friday afternoon, according to a hospital spokeswoman. The actor fell ill at his Santaquin, Utah, home Wednesday evening and was rushed by ambulance to a hospital, Coleman’s spokesman had said in a statement earlier Friday.
He was then taken to another hospital — Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo — later Wednesday night.
In the late ’70s and early ’80s, Coleman was one of television’s brightest stars, the personality around which NBC’s “Strokes” — the story of two inner-city children who are taken in by a wealthy businessman, his daughter and their housekeeper — was built.
His natural charm and way with a line — the frequently uttered “Whatchoo talkin’ ’bout, Willis?”, directed at his older brother (played by Todd Bridges), became a catchphrase –helped make the show a breakout hit, a mainstay of the NBC schedule from 1978 to 1985 (and on ABC for a year afterward )[Source]soulcultureuk

J. COLE INTERVIEW by Jelisa for Clutch City Magazine
Jermaine Cole (born March 13, 1985), who is better known by his stage name J. Cole, is an American rapper and producer. He gained major attention when he became the first artist signed to Jay-Z's Roc Nation label. The following interview took place in Houston, Texas on January 23, 2010 at the SF2 clothing apparel store in the southwest section of the city. J. Cole was having a meet and greet session with many of the fans before his concert later that night at Warehouse Live. J. Cole has released two mixtapes. One called "The Come Up" (2007) and "The Warm Up" (2009). The former gained J. Cole exposure in the music industry as you will see soon in the questions below:
**NOTE FROM JELISA:** Clutch City Magazine. Everything highlighted is J.Cole 1. HOW DID YOU LINK UP WITH JAY (JAY-Z)?
Through Mark Pitts, who is my manager now. And ummm...he managed me back in the day and ummm...yeah he introduced me to Jay and he heard "Lights Please" and the rest is ummm...history really.
2. WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
I'm from North Carolina. Fayetteville, North Carolina.
3. WHAT TURN OF EVENTS MADE YOU SAY, "DAMN, I MADE IT?"
Umm I was always...naw naw when it actually felt real was probably when I was sitting in the room with Jay (Jay-Z) for the first time, or the first time I had like a big meeting. That’s when I was like, "Yeah I'm getting close." Ya know what I'm saying?
4. WHO ARE YOUR INFLUENCES AND WHY?
I gotta say Tupac just because of the passion that he had and the shit he used to rap about like real everyday topics. And with him it's like no matter where you from, you can relate I mean at least to the pain aspect. And lyrically the Nas’s, Jay’s, and the Eminem’s. Those are the guys that kind of molded my style.
5. WHO WOULD YOU LIKE TO COLLABORATE WITH IN THE FUTURE?
Umm Alicia Keys - and Jay did that - so now I gotta wait now cuz it's gon seem kinda corny. I always wanted to work with her though. And like Rich Boy and every time I say that people be like, "Rich Boy?'
NOW HOLD ON NOW, RICH BOY GOES KINDA HARD. I BOUGHT HIS ALBUM! AND WHEN I ACTUALLY LISTENED TO IT, I SAW THAT THIS GUY IS A GREAT LYRICIST AND PEOPLE WAS LOOKIING AT ME LIKE, "WHY IS YOU BUYING THAT?" LOL!
I like him man. He be talking about some shit, he got a message on the low, and shit I'm a fan. And when I tell people they be like, "What? Rich Boy?" But yeah like ummm...Rich Boy and Mos Def, and yo! You know who I like!? I like that nigga Z-Ro!!! I haven’t heard too much, but what I have is so ill!
YEAH YOU GOTTA GET UP ON YOUR Z-RO MAN. THAT GUY IS DEEP...HE IS REALLY DEEP.
He got this song I like that I always play. It goes (busts out into song), “Haters gooot me wroooongs.” I be playing the shit outta that song, but yeah I like people that are not the most obvious. I don’t want the obvious 'go to' guys you know like Jeezy. (He) is the obvious. He’s great, and I do want to do a song with Jeezy, but it's like everybody got a Jeezy song.
6. SO WHEN IS YOUR ALBUM DROPPING? THE J. COLE ALBUM?
It’ll be like early summer...late April early May. But I'm not gon rush it. If it's not ready to go, then it’ll be later.
7. WHAT'S THE BEST WAY FOR FANS TO KEEP UP WITH YOU?
Ummm...best way for fans to keep up with me is (by) these girls (that) got this fansite man. It's so good that it's what my mom checks to keep up with me and that’s how good they are. It's jcolefans.com. Like they even knew about this Texas tour and I don’t even be telling them...they just be knowing. They know everything...it's even better than my own website.
WHAT ABOUT YOUR TWITTER? YOU DON’T BE ON THERE?
I don’t really just be on there, but you can still follow me (@JColeNC) because occasionally every couple days I'll say some random shit.
8. WHAT OTHER FORMS OF ART ARE YOU INSPIRED BY?
I would say maybe film, even though I don’t watch as many movies as I wish I did. But yeah sometimes I might watch a movie and come up with a concept or an idea. Just because certain emotions and thoughts will pop up and inspire me. And I'd probably say movies are the other form that inspire me the most. And I'ma start reading more books.
9. SO WHAT'S NEXT FOR YOU? WHAT YOU GOT GOING ON?
I got finishing the album of course. And I got like this great little marketing scheme (that) I'm not even gonna let it out. (It's) like a plan and a strategy of how I'ma come out with the album and I'm not gonna even say the name of the album yet. And people be like, "Oh this nigga not gon say the name of the album," but shit it's small to y'all, but it's major to me. I don’t wanna get on Twitter and just tell the name of the album because it just fucking ruins it.
10. SO HOW YOU LIKE THE H SO FAR?
Well, I mean I ain't been here but like a couple days.
AND YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING AND DONE NOTHING?
I mean naw. I came here when I was like 16 because I got family here and it was fun! I went to this lil teen club and shit...lol...it was fun.
MAN YOU GOTTA COME BACK. H-TOWN IS A REAL REAL NICE PLACE.
I mean yeah I like what I see. Just by looking at how the city looks and mingling with the people...it's pretty dope.
MAKE SURE YOU CHECK OUT J. COLE'S SITE THAT WAS LISTED IN THE INTERVIEW (JCOLEFANS.COM) AND FOLLOW HIM ON TWITTER (TWIITER.COM/JCOLENC) TO KEEP UP WITH AS WELL. IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY, DOWNLOAD THIS GUY'S MIXTAPE ("THE WARM UP"). YOU WON'T BE SORRY!

Free Lil Tunechi ft Nicki Minaj "Knockout" teaser
___
"Knockout" is one of nine videos Wayne shot during Super Bowl weekend in Miami in anticipation of his current yearlong prison sentence, which started in March. Minaj said Weezy's work ethic is amazing and should be emulated.
"To not have him here, it's like a life lesson for all of us — always work as if we have no one else to depend on — and that's what he teaches us," Nicki said during the mtvU Spring Break festivities. "He did, like, 1,000 videos before he went in, knowing that he had to go to jail. A lot of us wouldn't do that. A lot of us would be curled up on a ball like, 'Oh my God, my life is about to be over.' So shout-out to Lil Wayne. We're honored that he chose each and every one of us, handpicked us. And we love him."

Mr. Scarface is not attending the "Dirty South" Awards
By Maurice Garland • May 13th, 2010 •
Seems like the closer we get to VH1’s “Dirty South” Hip Hop Honors, the more voices of dissent we hear about the event. Adding his two cents, legendary Hip Hop artist Scarface sent Ozone an exclusive statement regarding his feelings on this year’s show and how its being handled.
I was nominated [to be honored at the Dirty South Hip Hop Honors] but I declined to accept because I don’t wanna be classified as just “Dirty South.” I’m Hip Hop, man. I’m not going because I feel slighted. Even though it was a nice gesture, I feel like it’s just a pacifier. They’re like, “Let’s give these niggas down there a pacifier so they can stop feeling left out. We’ll make Luke and all these niggas down there look funny,” you know? “Let’s put a plate of fried chicken and some watermelon and let’s just do some nigga-ass shit.” (laughs) Quote, end quote. “Some nigga-ass shit.” Fried chicken and watermelon. “Shit, the faster we get this over with, the better.”
Honoring [Uncle] Luke and James [Prince] and [Master] P and Timbaland and JD and Dungeon Family is a good thing. I don’t wanna fuck their Honors up. They helped lay the foundation. More power to ‘em. I respect what they do and I respect what they’ve done for Hip Hop, but to put us in a category is disrespectful. Why would you categorize us as “Dirty South”? Why can’t you just honor some muthafuckers from down here and leave it like that? You ain’t gotta make us look extra country. We know where we’re from and we know where you’re from. We know where Hip Hop came from, man. We’re cool with that. I’m proud to be from Houston but don’t make a mockery of my accomplishments. We’re not “dirty” down here in the South anyway. This shit down here probably cleaner than the rest of the country, cause we got grandmas down here. Our grandmas don’t play that shit.
I was a part of the Slick Rick and De La Soul and Too $hort and Public Enemy [Hip Hop Honors]. I felt good about being a part of that. I went [to Hip Hop Honors] when they honored Def Jam because I wanted to be a part of that. I felt honored that they would even call me to do it. But this year, I totally disagree with how they’re trying to categorize us. You know how they make us look on TV? Like we live on the front porch with flies and shit flying around us, with our stomachs all big eating watermelon rinds? That ain’t us, man. Don’t fuckin’ make a mockery of us because we come from down here and you have no fuckin’ idea what it looks like. They’re gonna try to put us with some cows and just make us look fucked up, man, like we don’t know what the fuck we doin’ down here. We’re smart, man. Our life is slowed down so we don’t miss nothing. When shit gets moving too fast you miss everything. Shit’s slowed down here so we see it all.
I come from the era when New York and L.A. had the only Hip Hop, and they weren’t fuckin’ with us, at all. If you think I’m lyin’, check the history of Hip Hop. Try to pull up some footage from the 1989/1990 New Music Seminar. That’s what I base my whole fuckin’ life on: the New Music Seminar 1989/1990. They was NOT fuckin’ with us. We sold records all over the fuckin’ country and New York made a mockery of it. They fuckin’ booed the Geto Boys in New York. They sure did.
Back when Luke had Skywalker Records and J had Rap-A-Lot Records, they weren’t tryin’ to do no South shit. “It didn’t come from New York, son, so fuck that.” That was their attitude. Just because a TV was made in Japan, is it a Japanese TV? Or is it just a fucking TV? If a lightbulb was made in China is it a Chinese lightbulb?
It was hard breaking through. It was hard getting respect from the East Coast. We didn’t get no fuckin’ love from nobody. Fab Five Freddy came down here early in our career to see what we were really about, and I respected and appreciated that. But we been having money down here. We been rollin’ fuckin’ Bentleys and Ferraris down here since the 80s. Muthafuckers ain’t just started rockin’ gold and platinum chains. We had that shit in high school. Shit, we just now started running out of money. (laughs) That’s how long we been had money down here.
Everybody throws up a fuckin’ smokescreen to make the picture look how they want it to look, but I know shit stank. I ain’t no goddamn fool. I was there in the beginning. We were fighting the power for real. Our raps were considered negative rap, and we got a lot of fuckin’ flak behind that shit. And we were just telling the truth. We were under immense scrutiny, from politicians to radio stations to the media. Luke got up there talkin’ about “Pop That Pussy” and had naked hoes on the stage; they were going to jail and shit. The Geto Boys were talkin’ this politicially-charged, racist-ass, system-ran, gangsta-ass dope-dealing whoopin’-ass shit, and it wasn’t accepted in New York.
Eventually New York came around and started fuckin’ with us. But for an East Coast-based show to call themselves showing some fuckin’ love by making a Southern watered-down version of what the show is supposed to be or what Hip Hop really is, man, I feel fucked up about that shit. Because we fought harder than a muthafucker. When [Ice] Cube was on Hip Hop Honors, it wasn’t the “Hip Hop West Coast Honors.” Every part of the ghetto is the same mu’fuckin’ story. Hip Hop is one machine, regardless if you come from New York or Bareback, Africa. It’s fuckin’ Hip Hop.
But that’s just [my opinion], and fuck me. I don’t mean nothing. I’m just a nigga who fought harder than a muthafucker to get our records played in New York and on the East Coast period. And now all a nigga needs to do is fart on a record and it gets played. So it’s fine by me. I’m cool with that. I’m not mad about it, I just feel disrespected. Whoever goes [to Hip Hop Honors], it’s fine and dandy by me. But if you wanted to do a Southern-based show you shoulda got a nigga DOWN SOUTH to do it in theSouth. @darealscarface << on Twitter Follow Him
