Fan Upset At Blu, Exile Intercepts (Video)
Jan 27th
During Blu and Exile’s show the other night in San Francisco, an upset fan jumped on stage to express his disappointment in Blu’s performance. And based off the description of the YouTube clip, he wasn’t the only one who had these thoughts..
While I don’t agree with the fan jumping on stage, I think the dude was right with Blu putting on a weak show. He was wasted, forgetting his lines, mumbling, and literally leaning on the mic stand for balance in the corner the entire show. Such a shame when the dude is obviously so talented, getting that trashed where he can’t put on a decent show.
Sadly, the clip also confirms the missteps. And while we at the dopehouse are huge fans, we do have to showcase the good and bad. Now… how about a mastered version of Give Me My Flowers While I Can Smell Them?
Estelle On Heartache:

”I Didn’t Have A Chance To Cry”
R&B/hip hop starlet Estelle is prepping her new project All of Me for release, and in an interview with London’s Evening Standard, the songstress shared the pain of her recent breakup. Estelle says the hurt of that failed relationship makes it difficult for her to sing her Akon-penned single “Thank You,” and she reveals just how much trust she put into this man. âWhen I first met him I asked him not to mess with me. I asked him to be 100 per cent with me. Please! Three years down the line he did the exact opposite,” she said, as her voice begins to crack. âSo ‘Thank You’ is about growing up, turning into a woman and not being bitter. Not being angry at myself for choosing the wrong guy.” âMy American friends â an actress, a glasses designer, a school teacher and my homegirl â came round and physically held me up,” she adds. “They took me bowling. I didnât have a chance to cry; they wouldnât let me. They kept telling me I did too good by him. âYouâve left him; f*** him!ââ âI might have to prepare a ten-page questionnaire for each potential lover to answer,” she says with a laugh. “Otherwise Iâm going to end up that girl who gets hurt again, gets depressed and starts drinking. And no one wants that to happen. Itâd be a mess.â |

Drake Really Wants To Play Barack Obama In A Movie
Jan 27th
By Tamara Palmer
Before he was known strictly by his middle name, Aubrey Drake Graham was known to millions of North American teenagers as Jimmy Brooks, the wheelchair-bound former basketball player who occasionally rapped awkwardly on Canadian television series “Degrassi: The Next Generation,” from 2001 to 2009. And while he recently admitted to Rolling Stone that he’s typically offered roles playing rappers or athletes, he’s hoping and preparing for a chance at his dream role: President Barack Obama.
Drake Makes Up With Tattoo Artist, Another Fan Gets Drake Tattoo
This isn’t just a passing fancy, as it turns out. Drake’s been trying to actualize this idea through interviews for more than a year. “I hope somebody makes a movie about Obama’s life soon because I could play him,” he told Paper magazine in July 2010. “Anytime I see him on TV, I don’t change the channel, I definitely pay attention and listen to the inflections of his voice. If you ask anyone who knows me, I’m pretty good at impressions.”
“I’ve been reading scripts for awhile,” he told Rolling Stone this year. “I want to do something great. I want to do something for my culture: the younger people who are still in tune with everything going on. I’m actually writing with my friends right now.”
Drake’s biracial heritage gives him a similar complexion to Obama’s, and they both happen to hover at just over six feet tall. He’s already proven that he’s got charisma when it comes to the camera, and the work ethic needed to get through a grueling film shoot.
Ultimately, if Drake really is a good impressionist like Affion Crockett (who has famously impersonated him), he actually might not be a bad candidate.
