That no-good Magic Johnson who turned his back on Obama in favor of that shady Hillary and stacks recently had this to say to the Wallstreet Journal:

WSJ: Does the fact that we have a black president-elect mean it will be any easier for black entrepreneurs to borrow money for investment in urban areas?

Mr. Johnson: I don’t think it will be easier. What will happen is that people will look more at us. The world’s eyes have been opened to the idea that minorities can play at any level, including the highest level. It remains to be seen if banks and financial institutions will invest more with minorities. But you need a solid plan and everything that everybody else has. You can’t come in if you don’t come in right. You have to show a return on investment, how they’ll make money from investing in you. Nothing changes there. African-Americans may be more fashionable now – that’s how trends start. You win a championship, and people want to copy your strategy. We’re going to be in now. But it won’t be any easier, no

Beyonce says she learned all about sticking to your vows from her parents:

NEW YORK (AP) – Beyonce says her parents prepared her for the hard work of marriage. In an interview in the latest issue of Giant, the 27-year-old singer talks about getting hitched to Jay-Z. She says she doesn’t have a fantasy view of marriage. That’s because she’s seen her parents, Matthew and Tina Knowles, struggle but stick through it.

Says Beyonce: “My parents are tighter now than ever, but they’ve been through it all. There were times when they were together, times when they were apart. I learned that it’s a lot of hard work, that it’s more than a dress.”

Beyonce and Jay-Z married in a private ceremony earlier this year.

True or False: Beyonce is going to be high-tailing it back to Houston when she starts hearing of Jay-Z’s exploits out on the road.

Brandy revealed some information about why she lied to the world:

Singer Brandy opens up for the first time to Us Weekly about her fake marriage and the “traumatic” car accident that left one person dead.

In 2002, Brandy Norwood announced she’d secretly wed music producer Robert Smith the year before – just four months before giving birth to their baby, Sy’rai, when just 22 years old. The pair even acted as husband and wife on MTV series Brandy: A Special Delivery, which documented their daughter’s birth.

But after calling it quits in 2003, Smith told a radio station the marriage never happened.

“I lied because of the fear of what people would think and the pressure to be a good role model,” Norwood, 29, reveals to Us Weekly in her first interview on the topic.

“Our relationship was very real, we just weren’t legally married,” she adds.

Poor thang had no clue we already knew why she lied. We didn’t believe that whole ‘Moesha’ act for one second and knew those young prep school backs were getting tore up, just like the other girls.

Clifford used to be a gangster, but is now reformed and does shows like The View:

Atlanta rapper and actor T.I. visited the ladies of “The View” live Monday morning on ABC. He was there to perform “Whatever You Like,” the hit single from his new No. 1 album, “Paper Trail.” But first, the rapper had to answer some pointed questions regarding that guilty plea on those pesky federal weapons charges stemming from his arrest a year ago as he tried to purchase machine guns and silencers in a Midtown Publix shopping center. The arrest occurred just hours before he was due to hit the red carpet down the street at the Atlanta Civic Center as the most nominated artist at the 2007 BET Hip-Hop Awards.“I can’t excuse it,” T.I. said. “When you’re in my line of work, more people want to kill you than congratulate you. I have a family to protect. It sways your judgment.” With sunglasses perched atop his head, the rapper legally named Clifford Harris Jr. said he’s learned a few things since the arrest. “You’ve got to walk with God instead of walking with the guys. It took me a while to learn that.” T.I. is awaiting sentencing in the case. As a convicted felon, jail time is almost a certainty. On another stint in stir, T.I. said: “I’m concerned, but I’m not scared. I’m not thrilled about it. I look forward to getting it over with.”

Man we get it. You’re walking with God, yatta, yatta, yatta. You’d better walk with God and a shank when you hit the pen. The man’s new single is out right now and he’s over here sh*ttin bricks becoming a jail house preacher. SMH

Jay-Z was one of 40 New Yorkers interviewed for Time Out New York magazine:

You’re the only rapper on this list. We were considering Nas but have this 13-year rule: People on this list had to have had an impact in the last 13 years. And Illmatic was 1994. Should we have included him?

Jay-Z: Ah, wow! [Laughs] That’s a tough question. [Pauses] Yeah, only because of the impact of that album, when it’s considered one of the best albums ever created, you have to document that.

How about Kanye? Has he earned it yet?

Jay-Z: He’s from Chicago, but he’s close. I don’t know if he’s had that one album that’s moved the entire culture, but he’s hit it three times in a row. He’ll be on every list one day.

Are you guys really teaming up for Blueprint 3?

Jay-Z: Yeah, actually. We’re partners right now. Starsky and Hutch right now.

And B? What was your first meeting with your wife like?

Jay-Z: I can’t answer that question. [Laughs] Come on now.

Seriously? You guys wrote a song about being in love.

Jay-Z: I’m actually pretty open, especially in the music. And in conversation, when I get to know people. But there’s one side of my life I tend to keep quiet. You have to have some time of sanity. You can’t live with everything out there. You have to have sanctuary.

Damn, they didn’t have to do our boy Nas like that…

“Yes,” he replied.

When?

“Don’t know. But it’s coming.”

Children?

Hmmm…We have pictures of her sloppy looking ass under the hood. Continue »
