This song will never get old. Ice Cube stopped by Late Night With Jimmy Fallon last night to perform the classic #1 record ‘It Was A Good Day’ with some help from The Roots. The song was released back in February, 1993 as the second single from his third album The Predator. It was also [...]

Dear Bossip, I have been reading your blog forever and I love it. You give very good and meaningful advice. I thought that maybe I should ask a few questions myself. First, I am in a relationship with a man who I have loved since I was in high school because he was so cute to me. Well, we recently have gotten back into each other’s lives and have been together since then. He has two kids by two different women who are nowhere near us. They are in two different states. One of his kids got taken away because the mother abused the child and the other is living with the mother who goes from man to man and moves around a lot following a man. Now, we have a baby and we live together. He’s a good father to my son and takes care of all his needs like a father should. His other kids he doesn’t get to see because the moms kept them away. But, now one of the mothers wants him to take his child for the summer all of a sudden. I feel it’s because the man has another kid, and she doesn’t want to keep the child so she can go be with a man. Also, she has never really raised the child her mother has, and the kid doesn’t really know him either. Also, he pays child support and she has full custody of the child. He’s said that me and our baby is his family and that is what he is focused on, what is in front of him, and he can’t change what happened in the past he can only focus on right now, our family. He also said that he couldn’t take the child, who is 10-years old, because he works at night and I work during the day. Who would watch him? It would be impossible. Also, not to mention the boy hasn’t seen him in five years and let alone doesn’t really have a connection with him. My question is why does his exes bother me so much even though it has been years since they have been together and he is faithful to me, but I keep bringing up his past relationships?  I keep thinking about what he did for them or why was he with such ratchet women. Also, should I leave the situation alone about his son because I have my own child to raise and let whatever is going to happen, happen, because I feel that the only one hurt in this situation is the child, and the situation all in all was before me? When I bring up his past women that he has been with he says why does it matter, I’m with you. Not to mention he doesn’t care about my past. Also, I have to confess that I recently seen one of the mothers on Facebook, and I looked at her pictures, which made me question things even more. Am I creating all of this drama on my own in my head or am I justified to be bothered by the other moms? – Where Do We Go From Here Dear Ms. Where Do We Go From Here, SMDH! You women who think you’re better than the other women your man has been with, and all this comparing yourselves is trite and pointless. Why do you think you are better than the other two baby mommas? You are baby momma number three! HELLO! So, is it because he is telling you things you want to hear, and you live together, and he downplays his relationships with them by telling you that you’re his one and only, and he really wants to be a family with you. Yet, you’re not married, and you’re playing house just like he did with the other two women. (Looks and sounds familiar?) Then, you rant about how the other mother’s are not letting him see his kids, but, by your man’s own admission he hasn’t been involved with his children because they are a part of his past, and he doesn’t want anything to do with the mothers, yet, the children are suffering because of his sad, trifling, and no-good for nothing a**! What does the children has to do with him not being a father? What does the children has to do with him not being involved in their lives? They are the innocent victims in this situation, and they are being penalized, punished, and abused because he doesn’t want to be a man and own up to his responsibilities. Get the freak out of here with that –ish! And, no, you don’t need to be involved with the affairs of his

Superproducer Mike Dean, who has worked extensively with Kanye West both in the past and on West’s new album Yeezus, took to Reddit yesterday for an AMA (Ask Me Anything), where he offered details on Kanye’s next moves since dropping the most highly-anticipated album of the year so far. Dean—who is also well-known as a producer for much of the early-to-mid-1990s Houston hip-hop sound pioneered by UGK and Scarface, among others—was asked about Yeezy’s recent headlining performance at Governors Ball in New York City, and when prompted about a potential tour for Yeezus, he confirmed that one was in the works and that he would be a part of Kanye’s performance crew. Yeezy has turned in a handful of performances of his new material, most notably at Gov Ball and on a recent appearance on “Saturday Night Live,” where he premiered both “New Slaves” and “Black Skinhead” from the new album. Yeezus dropped yesterday. The post Mike Dean Hints At Kanye West ‘Yeezus’ Tour appeared first on XXL.

Last night was the best game in Heat history thus far of the franchise with a do-or-die Game Six win against the Spurs in overtime. The final score was 100 – 103. When you look back years from now, this is the one you’re going to remember. Its going to be dubbed as the “LeBron Headband” game, and will also be dubbed as Ray Allen justifying the reason why he put on a  jersey in the summer of 2012. Also, the Mike Miller shoe moment was another oddity. But the entire game and the entire season was saved by Allen’s game winning three. Above, we have “the shot” from so many freakin’ angles. It will live on as one of the best moments in the career of Ray Allen, and of Heat history. The game took a lot out of many people who cheered in excitement and just couldn’t sleep. Hell, I couldn’t even post this post last night after the game as I usually do it minutes after the final buzzer. The other people who got a rush of reality, and not a so comforting one, is all the people that left the arena within the last minute of the 4th quarter thinking the Heat had lost for good (and were not let back in once they stepped out the arena). ESPN and tons of sports announcers are destroying Heat fans for that. All in all, the game was incredible, draining and will be remembered for a long time whether or not the Heat win on Thursday night. Game Seven ya’ll.The post The Shot by Ray Allen appeared first on The 305.

Nabisco Introduces Watermelon Oreos Ever wondered what it would taste like if you combined Oreos and watermelon. Yeah, we never did either. But Nabisco thought it would be a great idea. via THG Nabisco has launched a limited edition Watermelon Oreo flavor for this summer, and the flavor isn’t even the first fruit-flavored edition of the cookie. They’ve also come out with banana split, coconut, chocolate berry burst, ice cream rainbow sherbet and strawberry milkshake varieties … who knew? “We chose Watermelon because it is a fun, summer flavor that goes great with the Golden Oreo cookie,” spokesperson Kimberly Fontes said. There are no actual watermelons in the ingredients, of course … just food dyes, sugar, high fructose corn syrup and “artificial and natural flavors.” We think the original swirly oreo was just fine as it is. At this rat, the chicken waffles-flavored oreo release is just around the corner.

The grind never stops for Davetta Sherwood, who juggles producing, acting and rapping, so it comes as no surprise that the New York transplant is starring in Fuse's first scripted series The Hustle as Cecile, a sassy wardrobe stylist and single mother. The laid-back go-getter chatted with VIBE to discuss her first acting gig, production company and more. —Ashley M. Travers Her first acting role: My first starring role ever was on the show Platinum, a UPN show. I shot the pilot, and I was one of the only two cast members they kept when the show picked up. It was an hour-long series and my first experience really [seeing] my face on the side of a bus or a billboard. I was hype. On her character in The Hustle: Now I’m doing this show called The Hustle, which is about the music business. The show, written by Prentice Penny, is about two guys trying to get a record deal by way of their aspiring A&R friend/ home girl from the hood, Yaya. She’s determined to get them a deal. They have a trusty sidekick, Rashad played by Clinton Lowe, who is a really funny dude. He’s from the Bronx in real life and the guy that sort of keeps it all together. I play Kutta's (one of the rappers) baby mom. I kind of helped him get on. I start dating somebody on the show and trying to pursue my career as a celebrity stylist. On her personal aspirations: I have my own production company. I love producing. I love being behind the camera and directing with my company. We’re producing television now and a stage play. That’s the biggest thing I’m doing. I also have Boiling Pot, a movie that I’m extremely proud of. In the end, I want to be directing and doing my own television shows. That’s a dream to me. A bigger dream is having a family. I want to be a soccer mom, a MILF and have family trips. On her music: My mother says she thinks I like music more. I rap and have have a new song called "I Feel Like." I just performed At Gay Pride Festival in Los Angeles in front of hundreds of people. That was phenomenal. That was my second time doing a big show. I was signing boobs and dollar bills for people. On her motivation: I want people to be like, "I remember her when she did that interview with VIBE. She was so dope." That’s what motivates me.
