Rihanna speaks to Glamour Magazine
Jul 28th
Rihanna on hating drama…and perfection…
“I hate drama. But at the same time, nothing bothers me more than when life’s perfect.
And that’s the sick part. I just love a challenge, whether it’s a relationship, my career, clothing…”
Rihanna on her attention-getting sense of style…
“Getting dressed, I want to pick the most bizarre pair of shorts so I can figure out how to make it look right,
or work an outfit that will make people go, “What the hell is she wearing?”
Rihanna on dealing with how messy life can get…
“I think honesty is the ultimate liberation in life. People want to shy away from the truth and keep sweeping
it under the rug. But after a while, you pick up the rug and there’s just way too much dirt, so you might as well just be up front about it.”
Rihanna on being a role model for young girls…
“In the beginning of my career, it was really strict for me. I couldn’t wear pink or red lipstick; it was just bizarre. We had a young fan base, and they were trying to keep me fresh. But I just really wanted to be myself. I wanted to be sassy, the attitude, all these things that I am.”
Rihanna on being a role model for young girls…
“I want to set the right example and, at the same time, live my life….
I feel like pop stars can’t be rock stars anymore because they have to be role models, and it takes the fun out of it for us,
because we just want to have fun with art.”
Rihanna on liking dominant guys in the bedroom…
“I play a very dominant role in my life, in every aspect of it. And I like to feel like a lady still, at some point.
I feel like that’s the time when a guy really gets to be a man, and I get to be a woman.
And if I’m being a man in the bedroom too, there’s nothing really in it for me.”
Rihanna on her fellow female musicians…
“There’s a pack. It’s me, Gaga, Katy Perry, Beyoncé…who else? Ke$ha, for sure.
Women are definitely dominating music right now, and that’s because we are competitive beings.
I feel like music hasn’t been this exciting in a while.”
Rihanna on her friendship with Katy Perry…
“All my friends are guys, to be completely honest. But when I met her, it was such a breath of fresh air. I just couldn’t believe this chick had no edit button…. Katy and Lady Gaga came out of the gate exactly the way they think, the way they wanna dress, the way they wanna speak.”
50 Cent speaks to Vibe Magazine
Mar 24th
50 Cent, is on the cover of the latest issue of Vibe Magazine. Inside VIBE’s upcoming International issue, 50 shares his thoughts on rappers getting face tattoos,
his relationship with Chelsea Handler, his beef with Dr. Dre about his Sleek Headphones, and more.
Check it out :
ON DR. DRE’S REACTION TO HIS SLEEK HEADPHONES:
“I have a strong personality, a strong character. And I can be difficult to deal with at certain points because I’m vocal. If you upset Em, he’s just gonna not talk to you. You’re not going to get him in the next room you wanna get him in. With Dre, the same. He’s not comfortable with friction. That [tweet] is, “Hey look, I’m here. Is everybody still paying attention?” So they go, “Why he say that? Why he say we mad?” Then the meeting happens.”50 ON HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH CHELSEA HANDLER:
“Chelsea is confident. I think confidence is the sexiest thing about a person. She’s the kind of person that if you’re blessed with the opportunity to hang out with her, you’ll enjoy it. I’m not sure you’ll look at her and actually want to jump over the table and fuck her, but you might. You would leave after talking with her feeling that she is a cool person.”50 ON BEST NEW ARTIST GRAMMY RESULT:
“I think Drake got robbed. He should have got artist of the year last year [ laughs], to be real with you… He did a lot, man. I don’t believe that Drake would have been as successful or his project would have been as successful if Lil’ Wayne was home. That point where Wayne had to sit down provided a complete focus on Drake.”50 ON RAPPERS WITH FACE TATTOOS:
“That’s the craziest thing. Not necessarily Gucci, but to tattoo your face says that there’s not a possibility that you can actually walk into a legitimate establishment without makeup covering your face every day. That does not work. It creates a separation. It says, “I’m an artist.” That’s it. That’s the statement you make when you go and tattoo your face…But know that the public will not have interest in you as an artist for life. You have to be phenomenal. Talk to the best that do it and they will tell you that it will take more than you being an artist. It takes marketing, maneuvering to generate for that long. When you got 40-year-old rappers in thegame, those guys have maneuvered and survived.”50 ON HIS INTERNATIONAL APPEAL:
I did the groundwork. I traveled. To them I’m not a myth. I’m a real person. They’ve seen me live in performances in Croatia, Kosovo, India…The same way they feel about me in New York, they feel about me in Africa and they feel about me in India. You can spin the globe and stop it wherever you want and say 50 Cent, and they know exactly who you’re talking about and they know the material. It is what it is. I don’t have the trophy case to reflect that, but I can’t eat trophies.

waka flocka speaks
Jul 24th
Waka Flocka Flame sat down recently to do an interview with Real Talk NY.
Waka states that anger and a need to express himself, is what drove him to Hip-Hop.
In addition to discussing his motivation for jumping into the game,
Waka Flocka also reveals that people have misconception when it comes to his intelligence.
“I think the biggest misconception people have about me is the fact they think I’m stupid,” Waka continued. “They look at me and think I am the typical down south rapper and you know what that’s good because then they are surprised when I bust they ass.”
He also says if you don’t like him Fu*k you!
lol I guess he just dissed over 90% of the real hip hop fans right there.
oh well *kanyeshrug* ….

Eminem speaks
Jun 18th
Eminem sat down with The New York Times he talks about his broken relationship with his mother, his support for gay marriage, the current state of hip-hop, and why he doesn’t want to go back to rehab, check it out.
Does Slim Shady, your raping and killing alter ego, still exist? Or have you split with him?
Shady still exists. But I don’t think the subjects on this record call for, you know, bring the chainsaws and axes out and murder everyone on this record. There was so much stuff like that off the last record that I felt like I was starting to run it into the ground. I think consciously I went in a different direction with this record.
Even your mother sued you for defamation. Is she still in Detroit, where she raised you as a single mom?
I’m not sure, to be honest. It’d be very hard to repair that relationship.
You’ve been accused of writing gay-bashing lyrics in the past. Would you like to see gay marriage approved in Michigan, where you live?
I think if two people love each other, then what the hell? I think that everyone should have the chance to be equally miserable, if they want.
Is this the new, 37-year-old tolerant you?
It’s the new tolerant me!
Compared with other rappers, you are often praised for your complex rhyme schemes. Do you read poetry?
I don’t think I’ve ever read poetry, ever. I’m not really book-smart.
Where did you go to rehab?
The first time I went it was in Brighton, Mich. The second time I didn’t go to rehab. I just went to a regular hospital. I detoxed in the hospital, and then I came home. I couldn’t go back to rehab. I felt like I was Bugs Bunny in rehab.
What does that mean?
When Bugs Bunny walks into rehab, people are going to turn and look. People at rehab were stealing my hats and pens and notebooks and asking for autographs. I couldn’t concentrate on my problem.
Billboard magazine has ranked you as the best-selling artist of the past decade. What do you do with all your money?
Save it. I save a lot of money by not buying drugs anymore. I invest. I always try to be smart. I try to treat all the money I’m making like it’s the last time I’m going to make it.
Do you think rap has peaked creatively?
No. Hip-hop right now—there are certain artists who put hip-hop in a good state. There are a lot of talented people, and there’s a lot of young talent coming up, like B.o.B, Jay Electronica, Lupe Fiasco and Drake.
How do you stay sober?
My kids, and also I see a rehab counselor once a week. I’ve been clean for two years
