Let me start off by saying this. To be the best, you have to take yourself to the grounds where only few have walked. Tolerance levels have heightened with every year that has gone by. The envelope has been pushed by many. But to walk among the famed, you have to take elements that create controversy.

How far are you willing to go to have everyone talking about you? You have to take a topic in which masses of people have an opinion. The main topics are Race, Religion and Homosexuality. If you screw with any of those 3 topics and bring a negative light to them; you will be talked about.

Let’s get it right. Lucifer/Satan/The Devil, was the creator of music. Now that I said that, some of you already have an opinion. Because I made a statement that might have went against your belief. To make it worse, before the opinionated statement I said “Let’s get it right”. Meaning that I feel very strong about the statement I made.

There are plenty of artists that used religion as a medium of controversy. To create publicity and turning that widespread publicity into fame. When you are a praised and famous being on this earth and have been for a long period of time. You don’t want more fame, you want power.

fame < money < power

No one will ever know what goes on behind closed doors unless they come forth with the truth. No one will ever know who sold their spirit to the devil. Only those that were present during the ceremony or ritual would be the ones who testify.

As long as Race, Religion, and Homosexuality are highly opinionated topics. Then the power of controversy won’t leave them.

Diddy, Rick Ross, Janelle Monae, Dawn, Kalenna, Cassie & Red Cafe cover the new August/September issue of Vibe. The females of Bad Boy look pretty good repping the androgynous style.

Here are a few excerpts from the Q&A:

Dr. Dre said that the last beat that floored him was “All About the Benjamins.” How does that make you feel?
It’s humbling. I was in the studio with Dre the other day. He started working on a record for me. Watching him as a producer is watching greatness. We had a lot of similar traits. It was like looking in the mirror. He would ask questions like, “How you feel about this?” People don’t really understand true producers want to know how you feel about things. We are some of the most observant people on the planet.

What happened during the Martin Bashir interview on Nightline?
There were times in the interview when I had to give him an ultimatum. The questions weren’t being handled the right way. In hindsight, when I saw him I shouldn’t had done the interview because I know the style of interview that he does . . . The whole thing about giving a Maybach to my son, that’s really like a racist question. You don’t ask White people what they buy their kids. And they buy ‘em Porsches and convertible Bentleys and it ain’t no question. It’s really a racist question and put things back in perspective with money and the way that people still look at you. And I’m not saying that consciously he’s a racist. But he probably don’t even realize that he would not ask Steve Jobs that. He would be like Steve Jobs has that money and that’s the gift his kid is supposed to get.

Are the comments from Lil’ Kim about Nicki disheartening?
When I heard her say what she said, it didn’t really affect me. I didn’t get mad at her or anything like that. I knew how she felt. I ain’t agree with it. But also I know the motivation. I know that people say, “Oh, he’s trying to get a new Lil’ Kim.” I guess people will see in time. Yeah, Nicki’s had flavored wigs on, but besides that it ain’t even the same approach to the writing.

I’m back. From this long break and hiatus. I have changed my format. I don’t feel like talking about already established celebrities with rehashed info from every other site.

I am going to be publishing content from the music industry. Indie R&B/HipHop/Rap tracks & videos of my likings. There will also be tracks popular artists. I am refraining from posting pictures from paparazzi. Shxt like Ciara walking down the street and Beyonce walking in the airport. You know…that pointless stuff.

So if you have my email. Mainly entertainment companies and what not. Hit up my box bpflive@gmail.com

Definition: A “Nicki Minaj” – To copy and or steal an idea

Uses: “OMG this bxtch just Nicki Minaj’d my whole outfit”

Sad if you know what it actually means. That means it’s true. Or is your mind just attaching to false accusations and blinding yourself with pure stan-ism? You never know. Look deep inside yourself. Oh yea, don’t Nicki Minaj this post either.

Have you noticed that Nicki is switching up how she raps now. She doesn’t feel like hearing all that “Lil Kim” in her voice anymore.
