Dr. Ben Carson’s right wing Republican politics are diametrically opposed to rapper Eminem, but that didn’t stop him from using the Detroit MC’s music to announce his run for president.
In a move wrought with theater, Carson had a Black choir sing the chorus to “Lose Yourself” from Em’s semi-autobiographic movie.
Many thought it was a joke like emcee Toni Blackman.
On Facebook, Blackman said, “I saw this early. I thought it was satire. It’s for real. Dr. Ben Carson used a gospel choir singing Eminem for his campaign announcement. I’m here hollerin’ and planning to call Dave Chappelle tomorrow. We need him. Jon Stewart might come back for a few cameos just for this foolishness. Both hands are on my face right now.”
“I ain’t gettin jumped by no f**kin body bro, I ain’t gettin jumped by no f**kin body..f**k that!” is what this dude after a few hits. He swore was getting jumped..lol.
Here is the real life version of the Kevin Hart skit:

18-year-old Alessia Caracciolo, is one of the latest artists to be added to the Def Jam roster. Alessia is a singer-songwriter from Brampton, Ontario whose vocals are as phenomenal as her gift with the pen. “Here,” produced by Pop and Oak and Sebastian Kole, is her first hit single for Def Jam. Originally known for her brilliant covers of songs by other artists, the talented singer is now racking up hits of her own. If you’ve ever attended a party or social event that you didn’t necessarily want to attend, Alessia has the song for you.
“Here” is a song “for all the antisocial, awkward, and miserable party-goers of the world,” Alessia told The FADER. “This one time I went to a party and while there, I realized how much I hated it, along with every other party I had ever gone to. We wrote about it the next day.”
Alessia will soon be mentioned amongst the other musical powerhouses of today. Perhaps, more artists will be inspired by her to also write their experiences authentically. Alessia’s music is honest. Conceptually, Alessia is speaking for the young generation of rebellious and genuine fans, with music that is relatable to people from all walks of life.
A large fight broke out at a Ludacris hosted party in Las Vegas.
The video is crazy. Showing multiple brawls around the pool on Sunday at the Hard Rock Hotel. Fists, chairs, bottles, ice buckets and more were hurled. Even before the fight broke out, you can see the crowd rip a door off its hinges to burst into the party!
Everyday, I’m inundated with young hopefuls that are intent on getting their music out to a wide audience. I only have two ears (and if you’ve seen, you know that they are very small) so I am not able to listen to all these submissions, but I applaud the effort nonetheless. Recently, I stumbled across a young up and comer named Nick Delahoyde. While this is not the same sort of molly-happy Hip Hop that is currently dominating Top 40 radio, Nick has a refreshing bent to his music. He appears at once humble, energetic, but confident in his abilities– the three halmarks of a successful rapper.
Music wasn’t always in the cards for Nick. In pursuit of a professional football career, Nick moved to Barcelona, Spain at the age of 15 and lived there for 4 years. It was during this time that Nick started to explore hip-hop music as a way of expressing his frustrations with the ups and downs of following his dreams. What started out as an outlet, soon became a burning passion. Nick wrote lyrics and melodies to his favorite instrumentals as well as original songs, in collaboration with Sydney based composer, musician and producer (and brother) Joseph de la Hoyde (de la Aurora & Monks of Mellonwah).
Nick started off writing his own introspective lyrics and recording them over modern hits, sharing his work on Youtube and Instagram (where he’s built an audience of over 60,000 at @ndelahoyde). Nick’s work recently caught the attention of Chicago based Hip-Hop producer Lemoyne ‘LA’ Alexander (R.Kelly, Aaliyah) who invited Nick to the USA to collaborate. The result, Nick’s debut single “The Longest Way,” realeased in October, entered the US top 100 chart strongly in 2015.
Charting this early in his career, the sky is truly the limit for Nick Delahoyde. If God willing and the creek don’t rise, Nick’s eventual debut album will feature the same sort of fearless disposition he executes on his debut single. The Hip Hop is sorely in need of it.
Put who am I? Check out Nick’s video for “The Longest Way” for yourself. Maybe you’ll spark up some interesting Youtube comment arguing.
As always, make sure to track Nick Delahoyde’s movements on the interwebs:

A faulty elevator almost led to a horrible accident at an apartment building in a suburb of Seoul, South Korea.
The video of the incident shows a man as he attempts to enter an elevator. When the doors open, however, the elevator continues to ascend instead of coming to a stop. Unaware of this, the man trips into the elevator as it continues to rise, but is luckily able to escape before being crushed
Chris Brown has a new set of charges against him. The singer stands accused of getting into a fight with a man during a pick up game of basketball early Monday morning.
He is now a suspect for battery.
The alleged incident occurred at the Palms Casino Resort about 3:42 am, where Chris Brown punched the man. Police were called, but they didn’t talk to the R&B star.
TMZ outlined Chris’ options: “Either sign a citation for misdemeanor battery, and agree to show up in court to face the charge — OR take his chances with the D.A … who would decide whether to press charges.”
Chris is no longer on probation so it is highly unlikely that he’ll see any time in jail.
After losing his bet with ESPN ‘FIRST TAKE’co-host Stephen A. Smith, over the #MayPac fight Saturday night, Skip Bayless was forced to wear The Money Team hat and T-shirt live on the show.

Manny Pacquiao is the antithesis of Floyd Mayweather when it comes to money. The Filipino pugilist is set to give away about half of his earnings from this weekends May Pac fight in Las Vegas.
Pac, who lost Saturday night, will make winners for his people when he gives away and estimated $40 million to charities.
Promoter Bob Arum said, “I’m sure half of what Manny earns in this fight is going to go to charity. That is just Manny. We don’t like to talk about money too much as more charities line up.””

He has always been supportive of his people, who in most instances, are struggling deeply.
