Kanye West in Robocop: Unreleased Music Video with Ex-Girlfriend Amber Rose

Apparently, a snippet of Ye's back in the day video recently surfaced online to many of his fans delight. 

Why? We don't know. Is there a hidden message being given by the Yeezus rapper? We don't know.

Because the video was to short for me to understand what he was talking about, I found the actual lyrics and posted them here for your viewing. I suggest reading the lyrics first and than watch the video, it makes more sense that way.

Another day in the life of Ye, using his relationships to inspire his creativeness.

Tiny and Tip Use Art to Communicate

The ongoing public feud between Mr. and Mrs. Harris, has carried over into art form -- where Tiny appears to be stepping up her game as if to show Tip, that he better recognize what he has before it leaves him. 

In Tiny's latest single WTFYGD, which has reached number one on the iTunes chart -- she kicks the real to her husband while facetiously telling him "I'm gon show you what it feel like to be on the other side of the gun."

The latter can be chalked up as a reference to the latest rumors that Mrs. Harris cheated on Tip with boxing champ Floyd Mayweather, as a way of getting back at him for all of his infidelities. 

Actually, Mayweather stated in an interview that he indeed slept with Tiny -- which in turn triggered a brawl between the rapper and heavyweight champion in a fast food restaurant in Las Vegas, Nevada. 

However, Tip obviously wants to reconcile the marital differences with his wife as he released a new track called Stay, with the name of the title alluding to the conclusion that he's hoping for?

Will Tiny take Tip back? And will the success of her new single embolden her to make a new album?

With regards to Tiny and Tip, #WhatIsYourHoodTalkingAbout?

Adrienne Bailon Hits Kim Kardashian Where It Hurts

Former 3LW singer, Disney Cheetah girl and actress, and now current co-host on The Real -- Adrienne Bailon, fired back at reality star Kim Kardashian for interjecting herself into a social media scuffle over comments made by Bailon, in the September issue of Latina magazine. 

Bailon made comments about a tattoo that she wishes to have removed which bares the name of her former beau, Rob Kardashian. While speaking on her tattoo issue she proceeded to talk about how Rob strategically cheated on her, which she found to be very disloyal and hurtful. Adding to her comment she stated that her career was even affected due to the "Kardashian label" that was bestowed upon her. 

Obviously, Kim K didn't appreciate the blow and replied via Tweeter, "Funny how she says being with a Kardashian hurt her career yet the only reason she has this article is bc she is talking about a Kardashian."

To which Bailon fired back stating, "Fame and a Career are two different things. I've always had a career. I have been working hard since I was 15 years old. Being someones "girlfriend" was never what I wanted to be famous for. What makes you "famous" isn't always what you want to be "labeled" as, or known for. If anyone should understand that...it should be you."

Bailon continued, "I also stated in the article that none of this would have stopped me from being in love and being in that relationship. I just would have gone about it differently. You can love someone just as much in private. We all learn from our first loves." #GodBless

As of late, Kim Kardashian has yet to respond.

On a side note: Kendall Jenner also stated that being related to the name "Kardashian" hurt her career as well, so why all the hoopla over Adrienne's comment?

Watching the latest Carls Jr. commercial as a model eats a huge bacon burger atop a sudsy sedan, which she occasionally washes before taking healthy bites of her sandwich -- threw me for a complete loop as socialite and actress Paris Hilton, arrives on the scene showcasing her well kept body in an all black bikini.

I literally was super excited to see her again since she's been missing in action -- choosing to keep a low profile these days. And when she entered the screen it was all FIYAH, as she strutted her stuff as if she were walking on the run way. 

The last Carls Jr. commercial Paris appeared in almost ten years ago, nearly broke the company's website due to the enormous traffic it received.

Yaaaaassssss Paris! Do your thang doll and you look amazing. Great job Carls Jr.

KimYe Finally Together Again

After weeks of not being seen together Kimye met up in Ibiza, Spain, to celebrate the 40th birthday of Givenchy fashion designer and friend, Riccardo Tisci.

Needless to say from the photographs, it didn't appear that the couple was over-the-moon about seeing each other. However, Kanye's outfit was super chic as his black shirt with white circle pendant perfectly matched that of his bff's, Riccardo Tisci. 

It was a star studded affair with models, singers, socialites and rappers, as they partied well into the night at club Amnesia, where the Yeezus rapper performed a few of his hit songs.

I'd say it was a joyful and successful night for the infamous designer.

Beyonce Spends 7 Million to House the Homeless in Houston

Queen Bey's philanthropic work never ends -- as she continues to give generously to her fellow man.

This past June she gave to Chime for Change -- a charity which empowers young women, last Christmas she gave out gift cards at a New Jersey Walmart, and now she's working to house homeless individuals in her native Houston, Texas.

This beautiful superstar continues to show her enormous heart and was even praised by her Houston Pastor, Rev. Rudy Rasmus who had this to say,

“She’s an incredible human being. Has an incredible heart and has been extremely helpful in our mission and our ministry here,” Rasmus said in a recent interview with KHOU.

“She has a global platform and is doing some amazing work and I’m glad she’s a friend of mine,” he continued.

Well said Pastor Rasmus, wonderful words for an extraordinary human being. Keep up the good work Queen Bey!

BET Awards 2014 Rocked the House

The BET awards never ceases to amaze me, as I am always ready for some 'good ole' authentic black soul music and I love to feed my political appetite as well, which was effectively done by this years host, comedian Chris Rock. 
Mr. Rock (seen above), always gives you the political realness for reality with a side of laughter to go with it and lets face it, with the political sphere being what it is today it helps to laugh when you really want to cry -- which is why I enjoyed his comedic skit at the Monster Truck rally where he quizzed white people on all things BET, it was absolutely hilarious!

Singer Pharrell and infamous rapper Missy Elliott opened up the show with 'Come Get It Bae', which seemed to get everyone in the mood for a good time. I was most impressed and excited to see Chris Brown perform his infamous hit 'These Hoes Ain't Loyal', and waited anxiously for him to bust out in one of his legendary dance routines which he did, and I was thoroughly entertained.

It was great to see rapper Lil Wayne again -- and in good health might I add, since he has been pretty much hidden

from site lately and I often missed his lively performances coupled with his poetic lyrics. And Hip Hop Queen Nicki Minaj, never disappoints as she meshed femininity with her at times hardcore lyrics during her 'Pills and Potion' theatrical segment, giving you rough and smooth all at the same time while flashing that fabulous body that keeps your eyes glued to the television set.

As Nicki (seen-r) accepted her fifth award for the Best Female Hip Hop Artist category, it was said that she threw slight shade at rapper Iggy Azalea who performed earlier in the show, as she calmly and facetiously stated "What I want the world to know about Nicki Minaj is when you hear Nicki Minaj spit, Nicki Minaj wrote it," and she went on to thank the CEO of BET Debra Lee, for rewarding "Authentic" artists. Calling out the carbon copies, Nicki? I ain't mad at you!

Singers John Legend, Ledisi and Yolanda Adams sang brilliantly their tributes to the legendary Lionel Richie, who received the BET Lifetime Achievement Award. Then Mr. Richie got on stage to remind us why we've followed him for so many years, as he performed hits like 'All Night Long' and 'Easy Like Sunday Morning'.

Then BET took it back to the 90's with hits like, 'All I Do is Think of You' by Troop, 'I Wanna Sex You Up' by Color Me Bad, and 'Freaky With You' by Silk.

Actress Phylicia Rashad walked out on stage looking timeless, graceful and womanly, as she delivered her speech on legendary artists who've recently passed on, Maya Angelou and Ruby Dee. 

Chairman and CEO of BET Debra Lee, gave the audience a history lesson as she took us down memory lane with her speech and background images to remind us of Freedom Summer 1964, using it as a symbol of the progress we've made thus far with Civil Rights Activist Myrlie Evers-Williams, accepting the BET Humanitarian Award as she eloquently stated that there's still more progress to be made and to keep up the good fight, as she expressed that there was a time when black people weren't allowed on television networks.

Which is why I was especially happy to see so many new black movie trailers during the commercial breaks, it was at least 4-5 new black films coming out with all black casts -- and that's something to be proud of for sure.

Towards the end of the show Robin Thicke pleaded his 'Forever Love' case through song once more to his estranged wife Paula Patton, as a means of trying to win her back after she left him due to his previous infidelities. 

But the highlight of the evening was the performance by Jay Z and Beyonce, which seemed like a bit of a trick as most people thought the duo was in the building and set to give a live show -- but no such luck. The married couple is still carrying out their 'On The Run' tour but allowed BET to show their 'Partition' performance via satellite, which was as equally entertaining, sexy and impressive even if it wasn't a live show.

Overall, the 2014 BET Awards rocked the house and I can't wait to see how next years show will top this one.
