Born as Calvin Broadus, the rapper says he was born again during the 35 day stay in Jamaica, in which he discovered the true Rastafarian self and claims he is like Bob Marley, born again, according to the NY Daily News and because of that life-changing trip snoop took, he will now be known as Snoop Lion. Can you picture yourself no longer saying, "I'm listening to Snoop Dogg" but better yet "I'm listening to Snoop Lion." "I didn't know that until I went to the temple, where the High Priest asked me what my name was, and I said, 'Snoop Dogg.' And he looked me in my eyes and said, 'No more. You are the light; you are the lion.' From that moment on, it's like I had started to understand why I was there," he explained at a press conference. Snoop says he always felt a connection to Marley. "I have always said I was Bob Marley reincarnated. I feel I have always been a Rastafarian. I just didn't have my third eye open, but it's wide open right now." Bob Marley's son Rohan attended the event that Snoop was speaking at about his name change and gave him his blessing, according to FOX News. Snoop didn't give an explanation as to why he was switching from "Dogg" to "Lion," but it's likely a reference to the Lion of Judah, a religious symbol popular in Rastafarian and Ethiopian culture. After being in the rap season sine the early 1990s, Snoop says that genre of music doesn't move him the same way it used to. Instead, this spiritual development is reviving his artistic and creative energy. "I've been on the top ever since I've been in it," he explained. "I got rap songs that will never die. And that ain't with no disrespect but I'm tired of rap." While in the studio, Snoop reportedly referred to his musical past in third person, saying, "F*** Snoop Dogg. Don't think about none of the s*** he rapped about: hustling and making money and drug-dealing and shooting. All that s***'ll be out of here." And now, he's ready to make music that his "kids and grandparents can listen to." In fact, he even performed a few songs at the event, one of which included a song titled, 'No Guns Allowed," which features his daughter. "I'm a wise man in the music industry," he said. "Not that I'll never do rap again because I'm always gonna do what I love, but right now I'm Snoop Lion and I'm having fun with this reggae movement so hopefully you guys will enjoy it as well." Snoop Lion is set to release a reggae album in the fall, which will be followed with a documentary that will feature his music and will include personal elements of his life. At 40 years old, Snoop says after discovering his inner Rastafarian, he feels much younger. "It feels like I'm 19 or 20 years old again," he said.

His dream was ended short this past Thursday, when Haynes, 22, was fatally shot Thursday afternoon while trying to stop a fight over a necklace not far from his South Side home. Haynes was struck in the wrist and back. It was one of five fatal shootings in the city over an especially violent 12 hours that stretched into Friday. "That was his way out of here," Haynes' uncle, Marvin Kimbrough, 52, said as he fought back tears. "Not just him, but for his brothers too." As a freshman in 2005-2006, he led Corliss High School with 20 points per game, then switched for the next two years to Washington High School. Haynes became a must-watch athlete during his sophomore and junior years at Chicago's Washington High. During that time, he played in the city championship game against Simeon High School and Derrick Rose at the United Center. Haynes transferred to Fenger High School for his senior year where he did not play basketball. "It is a big loss for the basketball family. You never know where it could have taken him. He had great potential. I don't know if he was going to the NBA, but he had the potential," said former coach Steve Dockery. "He just wanted to find himself, get a good fit and see what he wanted to do. He wanted to be successful." Haynes was also a mentor to young athletes in Morgan Park. Haynes, who was 6 feet 7 inches tall, attended Washington High School and graduated from Fenger High School. He attended the University of Texas at El Paso but left there to play basketball at Indian Hills Community College in Ottumwa, Iowa, said his cousin, Kandice Blouin. He played well enough last season at Indian Hills Community College in Ottumwa, Iowa, to earn his D-1 ride to Iona College in New Rochelle New York. D.J's Music Site CEO, Web Designer and Senior Editor, Demetrius Johnson Jr, 21, is also a Fenger High School Alum. He went to Twitter expressing his condolences:
D.J. Jr. (@CuzICan_DJ) July 28, 2012 DJ also released this statement: "I want D.J's Music Site and our fans involve to help the violence in Chicago. I know and understand we have violence all over the United States, but not like Chicago.It's getting out of hand and it's MUST come to a complete STOP. We are now going to take our D.J's Music Site Cares into effect, hope to have a petition set for people to sign and if we get enjoy people to sign, maybe the Government will see it and take action like they did for Philadelphia. I try of seeing incident people killed, not just every week BUT every day. I travel out on the CTA and pray for safety home and back because I live on the South Side of Chicago to and I went to Fenger High School all 4 years of my schooling and know what it like out there even though I not a street person. Fenger High School was announced as a Turnaround School in January 2009, and I was a part of a 6 or 7 student panel who got a chance to interview teachers who wanted to work with Fenger and help with the Turnaround. The student planel was through Mikva Challenge. Now I currently plan to go back to the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, I not transferring over haters trying to bring me down. I'm going to keep my head up high and keep stepping. Again, I am the one in debt and spending my money for my education and not some hater or administer who receiving a salary off my tuition. I heard about Haynes on Facebook, other Fenger Alums where posting a picture saying RIP Mike, and I like "What??", I seen him from somewhere and found the article online and is devastated by the lost of just a incident person who just want to suit his dream. I want D.J's Music Site to help stop the violence as well, even if I have to go down to City Hall and get the Major attention. Violence MUST stop! We are going to work on a page to add to our website call "D.J's Music Site Cares" and if you want like to be a part, you can. Have any ideas to help the youth and the young adult stop out of violence? Please e-mail us at djmusicsitesupport@djsmusicsite.com" |

According to the New York Daily News, Lucky Pavlovsky, 24, of Hoboken, N.J., might be added to the list. She claims she suffered two gashes on her arm from the melee that required 12 stitches to close. She's planning to make the wrongdoers pay. My plan is to sue anybody who threw a bottle, anybody who created that dangerous atmosphere, Pavlovsky said through her lawyer Javier Solano. On Saturday (June 16) 24-year-old Australian woman, Hollie C., showed off the injuries she recieved at the club via Youtube. The reason why I have 16 stitches on my head, on my face, is because of some stupid famous people having a fight over a girl, she said, referring to reports that the melee broke out because of Rihanna, to whom both Brown and Drake have been romantically linked. Model Ingrid Gutierrez, who sat at Chris Browns table when bottles flew, offered some insight into the Rihanna theory via her lawyer Sal Strazzullo. [Ingrid] was with Chris Brown and his entourage just having a good time, Strazzullo told E! News, she was at his tableright next to him when this occurred From what Ive heard from my clientthere was a note. A note passed by Drake to Chris Brown in regards to something with Rihanna. Strazzullo stopped short of giving details of what was written. The contents of those notes at this time, Im not going to be able to reveal because I dont know their authenticity. Last week a rep for the NYC police department confirmed to CBS Local according to them that the altercation occurred at around 4:00 a.m. at 34 Vandam street (club W.i.P.). There were five people injured, one male and four females. All suffered non life-threatening lacerations. While police say they responded to a 9-1-1 call about a disorderly group, other reports have identified the group as entourages of Brown and Drake, who allegedly got into an altercation at the club. It was like a war zone, Solano said, speaking for his client Lucy Pavlovsky. You had guys there 300 pounds, 6-foot-5, throwing these bottles as hard as they can. The fight happen last week on June 14th where punches and bottles were thrown last night at a New York City nightclub where the entourages of Chris Brown and Drake reportedly clashed. The after-hours melee left Brown with a deep gash on his chin and five other people injured. A source in the NYPD has confirmed to TMZ that the music stars crews did get into a fight at the Manhattan hotspot WIP. Police received a 911 call about the clash after 4 a.m., but when they arrived neither Breezy nor Drizzy was present on the scene. Along with Drake, other celebrities at the party included Ne-Yo, Wale, French Montana, Trey Songz, Meek Mill and Teyana Taylor. Brown tweeted a picture of his injury following the scuffle, along with a message calling out his combatant. "How u party wit a rich n---a that hate? LolThrowing bottles like girls? #shameonya! Brown tweeted. N---a is p---y. Bottles? Its nothing! Lol And Im the singer? N---a hiding in the bathroom b---h a-- n---a! Ok! N---a stand behind security!!! Ok! U dont pay them enough! N---a throwing bottles! Yall n----s weak!"No arrests were made at the scene.

"I feel that something is telling me that it's time to departure after two years. Last year was nothing but hell and I feel that I was back stabbed a lot by not just only people who I called friends but administration as well. I don't think I paid tuition to go thru stress like this. And I never went thru nothing like this in all of my years being in school NOT even back at home. It like I was being treated me like I'm such a bad person and all I did was try to promote UAPB to the top. I am entitle to my opinion even on my Twitter the University doesn't paid for it so they can't control what I can say, they only paid me for the job I did at the dorm as a student. When they start paying Twitter for my account then they can control what I can say. Throughout the year, people try to bring me down and all I tried to do is go to school, help people and be active on campus. I could not even do that. They was audit and had to fired four employee, which I feel was not my problem but the students took it out of portion. I also felt that student don't have voice at that school but yet paying tuition and the dorms are horrible. They were also secretive about everything. So why should I go back, get treated bad for two - three more years and paid tuition. Plus I was put in a major that they just struck me in, even thought I didn't decided of my major as undecided. To mean students are the MAIN priority, alumni are to but they are not attending the school anymore. With no students attending and paying tuition, where would the administer and instructor be today?? with no job right?. It was all about money. So I leaning towards pursuing my education some where else, if I have to go back to UAPB, I go back but I not giving up my energy and time representing the University. They lost all my pride I had for that school. Thank you for letting have a future at your University, I really appreciate because throughout all of bad there were good moments that I probably would had never experience. I also wish UAPB the best endeavors with the new Interim Chancellor and the new administration place in the places for replacement." D.J also states that It is NOT a bad school at all but it just need a lot and a lot more improvements. So if you are incoming freshmen go for it and strive for the best at UAPB. Graduate and have jobs line up for you for after you graduate. You might like it more then the next people who might not like it at all. Last school year at UAPB, D.J. was a Student Coordinator at the Harrold Complex Dorm, Administrative Assistant to the SGA Present - Kent J Broughton and a member of the Sunshine Club of the Harrold Complex, which he won Mr. Copeland Hall and particpated in Miss. UAPB Coronation Ball 2012 as Mr. Copeland of the Sunshine Club. This will/would be D.J. third year at UAPB/in college. U of A audit revealed about $736,000 was unaccounted for at one of the campuses dormitories named the Harrold Complex Living and Learning Center. As a result, the audit fired four people in February. One was the Chancellor's Secretary. The Chancellor, Dr. Lawerence A Davis, Jr was also involved with the audit, the administer was also his assistant. Dr Davis decided to resign and retire from his Chancellor position after 20 years on March 21but the resignation didn't take place until May 25 and then Dr. Calvin Johnson came in as Interim Chancellor until July 1st when he will be replace by placement Chancellor. D.J. was fired in April for a tweet that accidentally tweeted by him on the UAPB SGA Twitter account which was immediately deleted when found but was found and reported a non Harrold Complex student worker who was reportedly behind the work area desk and it was argument behind him and D.J. over a election flyer being moved on the bulletin board at the dorm which also included another employee being fired. D.J. is expected to make up his decided in earlier July before the next school year at most HBCU's. Keep up with D.J's Music Site to find out what his decided to pursue his education at or stay at UAPB. If you want to help D.J. made his decide into staying at UAPB or departing to another school, you can tweet him on Twitter at @CuzICan_DJ, he open for any ideas you have into his college institution making. D.J's Music Site is still a supporter of the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. |

How do these mash-upers do it? Well, one popular Barack mash-uper Fadi Saleh previously commented to the New York Daily News on his techniques saying, "A big portion of that time was spent finding words and phrases from the song in Obama's speeches over the course of his presidency." Carly Rae Jepsen's, Call Me Maybe has become an Internet and radio sensation, sparking covers and tributes from countless groups including the Harvard Baseball Team, fellow artists fun, and Justin Bieber. Justin Bieber loves it SOOO much that Carly Rae Jepsen is heading on the Believe Tour this fall with Bieber and The Wanted. Carly says her favorite parody of the track is a "Call Me Maybe Obsessed" but after this maybe she'll support the President Obama version? And perhaps Obama will call her, maybe, to perform at the White House. We shall see. |
