'Poetic Justice' Video: Drake & Kendrick Lamar Live Pretty Different Lives
'Poetic Justice' Video: Drake & Kendrick Lamar Live Pretty Different Lives
The "Poetic Justice" video hit the web on Friday, offering a glimpse into Kendrick Lamar and Drake's very different lives.
In the visuals, Lamar (who put out one of 2012's best albums, "Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City") raps as vignettes from a Compton, Los Angeles party interrupt his love-lorn verse. At the party, a young man and woman get cozy and walk off into the distance, until everything goes to hell.
Eventually we see an iPhone with a missed call from Drake, who is in a bedroom accompanied by a sleeping, nearly naked lady. Drake raps his verse into a cordless phone.
It's not until the end of the video that what actually caused all the commotion is revealed. We won't spoil it here, except to say that it's nice that the video didn't pitch us Drake as a character living in Compton, because the Toronto native doesn't really fit the bill.
MTV has more on the movie's backstory, involving Janet Jackson, who Lamar really wanted to be in the video:
On the slow and syrupy "Poetic Justice," Kendrick and Drake trade bars over a sampling of Jackson's 1993 single "Any Time, Any Place." The Scoop DeVille-produced track also borrows its name from the 1993 film that starred Janet and Tupac Shakur, so a video cameo from Jackson would be very fitting.
Lamar made an earnest, public plea to Jackson. "Janet, c'mon, Janet," he said. "No paperwork with the managers, contact the managers. This is artist to artist," Lamar pitched in December. "This is a young boy that looked up to you for years. Please, yeah, video, Janet Jackson 'Poetic Justice.' It'll only be right."
The video still makes an impact. Take a look above and let us know what you think in the comments. Drake and K-Dot also appeared alongside A$AP Rocky and 2 Chainz in the recently released video for "F--kin' Problems," and Drizzy dropped the visuals for his new single, "Started From the Bottom."

Amber Rose's First Baby Picture Shows Wiz Khalifa Holding Son Sebastian
Proud parents Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa welcomed son Sebastian Taylor less than 24 hours ago. And the couple have already shared the first photo of their little guy, whom Wiz has affectionately nicknamed "the Bash."
Early Friday morning, Rose tweeted "Best daddy ever.... Up with the baby so Muva can go back to sleep :-)," along with an adorable Instagram picture of Khalifa holding Sebastian.
Khalifa later tweeted, "Thanx for all the love guys. Bash took his first poop, had a good meal now he's peacin ✌" (thanks for sharing, Wiz!).
He also joked, "My wife sed she juss wants a jacc & coke, a cheesesteak, and a ciggarette :-) Thass why im marryin that woman!"
Rose and Khalifa have been chronicling their pregnancy via social media since they announced they were expecting last September. Though they revealed Sebastian's name only yesterday, they hinted at their baby-name choice during an interview on the radio show "Big Boy's Neighborhood" in January. "It's a total boss name for a boy," Rose said. "It's funny because I came up with the name for our boy and immediately he came up with a rapper [nickname] for him.”

61 years old woman married to 8 years old boy
61 years old woman married to 8 years old boy
The bride was 61 years old and the groom was an eight-year-old boy! Both families were present at the wedding of Sanele Masilela (8) and Helen Shabangu (61) and the bride’s husband and her five children were also at the wedding in Zimbabwe.
The boy’s aunt, Patience Masilela (46), explained why the wedding took place.
She said: “The boy was named after his late grandfather who never had a white wedding, so the ancestors told the boy to get married and he chose Helen to be his bride. The family took his desire to get married very seriously. They paid for the bride in March last year and spent a lot on the wedding because they believed it was what the ancestors wanted.”
The bride said: “I’m married and have five kids of my own, but I know that this is what the ancestors wanted – and now they are happy. It is a ritual. We are just playing now, but it is a sign that he will get married one day.”
The young groom said: “I told my mother that I wanted to get married because I really did want to. I chose her because I love her and I’m happy that I married her – but I will go to school and study hard. When I’m older I will marry a lady my own age.”
The bride’s long-time husband, Alfred Shabangu (65), said that he never had a problem with her marrying the boy because he too knew that it was what the ancestors wanted. My kids and I are happy. We don’t have any problems with it,” he said.
However, some community members said they were shocked.
One woman said: “How can a family go this far for the ancestors? It shows that people do take messages from the ancestors seriously.”
This was a not a legal marriage – it was only done for ritual purposes. The happy couple seal their marriage with a kiss.

Rihanna & Chris Brown's Relationship: Songstress Celebrates Her 25th Birthday With On-Again Boyfriend (VIDEO, PHOTOS)
Rihanna & Chris Brown's Relationship: Songstress Celebrates Her 25th Birthday With On-Again Boyfriend (VIDEO, PHOTOS)
Flip your hourglass, kids: Rihanna and Chris Brown are back on.
Just recently, rumor had it that Rih and Brown broke up after the Grammys. They were seen completely apart at the same nightclub party and then again on Valentine's Day. Later it was reported that Drake, with whom Brown got in a brawl last summer, was the reason the couple broke up because he texted Rihanna and Brown did not like it.
Now we learn the couple is very much together, as the singer joined his girlfriend in celebrating her 25th birthday at what appears to be a secluded resort.
Rih, wearing a very see-through fishnet skirt, walked along the beach hand in hand with her on-again guy. Earlier in the day, she posted a photo of her and Brown to Instagram where they're seen celebrating her 20th birthday. A few hours later, she posted this current photo of them and captioned it with "birthdaybehavior":
Look how happy he is.
Then today, the "Diamonds" singer posted this photo of the her and her man with the caption "Like #diamonds in the sky":
And just minutes later, this pic with the caption "#phuckyoballoons ha! My birthday owned hoes":
Rihanna had a busy pre-birthday weekend: She debuted her River Island collection at London Fashion Week, was attacked in a London nightclub by a deranged fan who reportedly yelled at her about Brown and was compared to the late Princess Di on the cover of The Sunday Times.
While she was across the pond, Brown was in Houston where he headlined the NBA All Star weekend, reports Daily Mail.

Ja Rule In Jail: Rapper Set To Leave New York Prison In Gun Case
Ja Rule In Jail: Rapper Set To Leave New York Prison In Gun Case
ALBANY, N.Y. — Platinum-selling rapper Ja Rule left an upstate New York prison Thursday morning after serving most of his two-year sentence for illegal gun possession and headed straight into federal custody in a tax case.
U.S. Marshals escorted the 36-year-old musician out of Mid-State Correctional Facility at 9:30 a.m. He was being held at the Oneida County Jail in central New York as he awaited word from the Federal Bureau of Prisons about where he'll serve time in the tax case.
The rapper, who had been in protective custody because of his celebrity, has some time remaining on a 28-month sentence for tax evasion that ran concurrently.
Ja Rule, whose real name is Jeffrey Atkins, may have less than six months left and may be eligible for a halfway house, defense attorney Stacey Richman said. Back taxes are one of the main reasons he wants to get back to work, she said.
"Many people are looking forward to experiencing his talent again," Richman said.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Mack said Atkins owed the IRS $1.1 million and didn't immediately know what if any had been paid. Once out of custody, Atkins also faces a year of supervised release, he said.
Ja Rule scored a Grammy Award nomination in 2002 for the best rap album with "Pain is Love." He also has appeared in movies, including "The Fast and the Furious" in 2001 and "Scary Movie 3" in 2003.
Ja Rule, who went to the prison in Marcy in June 2011, got out at his earliest release date, state correction spokeswoman Linda Foglia said. He had two misbehavior reports for unauthorized phone calls in February 2012 and had work assignments on lawn and grounds crews and participated in education programs, she said.
In the gun case, New York City police said they found a loaded .40-caliber semi-automatic gun in a rear door of Ja Rule's $250,000 luxury car after it was stopped for speeding. He pleaded guilty in 2010.
In March 2011 he admitted in federal court that he failed to pay taxes on more than $3 million he earned between 2004 and 2006 while he lived in Saddle River, N.J.
"I in no way attempted to deceive the government or do anything illegal," he told the judge. "I was a young man who made a lot of money – I'm getting a little choked up – I didn't know how to deal with these finances, and I didn't have people to guide me, so I made mistakes."
Richman said Ja Rule is looking forward to his daughter's graduation.
"He's a devoted father," she said.

Michelle Obama's Portrait For 2013 Includes Bangs (PHOTOS)
Michelle Obama's Portrait For 2013 Includes Bangs (PHOTOS)
First came the bangs, then the official portrait.
Michelle Obama's portrait, her official photo of President Obama's second term, was released by the White House on Wednesday. The photo, taken by Chuck Kennedy, shows FLOTUS in the Green Room of the White House leaning against a green chair, a lovely contrast to her dark two-toned dress. (UPDATE: The dress is by Reed Krakoff, a recent favorite of the first lady.)
The first lady is also sporting a strand of pearls, just like in her 2009 official portrait. The main difference this time around? The bangs, obviously. Michelle's voluminous blunt bangs, her self-proclaimed "mid-life crisis," have become her new style signature, replacing those iconic bare arms from four years ago.
Besides the hair and arms, however, not much has changed. Check out the Michelle Obama's portaits, new and old, below. What do you think of the photo?

Mark Kamins Dead: DJ-Producer Who Dated And Discovered Madonna Dies At 57
Mark Kamins Dead: DJ-Producer Who Dated And Discovered Madonna Dies At 57
DJ and producer Mark Kamins, who discovered Madonna before she signed a record deal, has died. He was 57.
A source close to Kamins confirmed his death to Billboard. According to reports, he suffered a "massive coronary” in Guadalajara, Mexico, where he has been teaching. Kamins had allegedly been struggling with heart problems for the past few months.
Kamins took Madonna under his wing in 1982, passing her demo on to Sire Records executive Seymour Stein, who quickly signed her. The rest, of course, is now pop music history. Kamins, who also produced her single “Everybody," was also the first in a line of high-profile Madonna romances.
In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Madonna says:
"I'm very sorry to hear about Marks death. I haven't seen him for years but if it weren't for him, I might not have had a singing career. He was the first DJ to play my demos before I had a record deal. He believed in me before anyone else did. I owe him a lot. May he Rest in Peace."
Kamins is survived by his son.
