If only other entertainers would stand up and proclaim their disgust with Donald Trump and where his so-called “leadership” is taking this nation, I’m sure we will be in a much better place.
More respect to EMINEM for making his feelings known, and not being afraid of speaking out!

Add Rapper Everlast from the rap group “House of Pain” to the long list of musicians who have demanded that Republican leader Donald Trump, stop using their music. And to get his point and frustrations across, Everlast used some rather colorful adjectives to describe the donald.
“Hey @realDonaldTrump stop using my song jump around at your rallies you piece of s–t. Cease and desist is coming you scumbag,” the rapper, whose real name is Erik Francis Schrody, tweeted Monday night.
“Stop playing my song you ignorant racist piece of s–t lawyers are already on it. I don’t want your money no amount you offer will get the license. I would love to meet you and smack that comb over right off your scalp you scumbag!!!” he added on Instagram.
“The reason he doesn’t ask anybody — a lot of people have asked him to cease and desist — (is) because every f–king person would say, ‘No, f–k you,’ except for whatever right-wing country artist wants to give him the song,” he said.
It’s unclear whether Trump’s campaign obtained a license to play the song, which has long been a favorite in movies, clubs and sporting events. A spokeswoman has yet to return the Daily News’ request for comment.

I am personally offended that the only black man in the race for president thinks the only way he can reach black people is to rap to them. Are you kidding me? So is it Carson’s thinking that black people cannot understand policies or don’t know or maybe just don’t care about the issues?
That this man is running for president is a joke. That he is the leading candidate in the Republican field for president is a travesty!
Here black people, this one’s just for you because rap music is apparently all you know!
Jeeze!

The new judges on The Voice were discussing who they sung with during their career when new judge Boy George, dropped the bomb!
George kicked off with: “I have duetted with some of the greatest soul singers in history including Luther Vandross and Smokey Robinson.”
Paloma upped the stakes, saying: “Well OK, if we’re throwing big soul names out there I’ve performed with Prince.”
But BG fired back: “Forget that, darling, I’ve slept with Prince.”
A source said: “We just couldn’t believe what he had come out with — and the guys in the gallery were beside themselves.”
Fellow judge Will.i.am thought the whole thing was hilarious, high-fiving Boy George.
But the 54-year-old, who replaced axed Tom Jones on the show, soon took it back.
The source told The Sun: “After that Boy George started backtracking saying he hadn’t really slept with Prince and that in reality, he just had his poster on his wall.
“But as far as the crowd were concerned the cat was already out of the bag.”
The fifth series of The Voice starts in January.
Apparently, the man can really sing! Check out this clip from last Monday’s Dodgers game!

Grammy-nominated R&B artist Angie Stone and her daughter Diamond Stone were arrested in their Atlanta home on domestic abuse charges.
According to police report, Angie’s account of the events claim that after repeatedly getting punched in the face by her daughter, Angie took a metal stand and threw it at her daughter striking her in the face and knocking out two of her teeth. Stone, according to the report, said she was unaware that the piece of metal actually hit her daughter.
Once she realized this, Stone “quickly put the stand down and attempted to get away from Ms. Diamond Stone. Ms. Angie Stone then stated while she tried to get away, Ms. Diamond Stone continued to come after her as if to strike her again but stated that Ms. Blondy Chisolm came to break up the fight.”
Stone, who was arrested in Lithonia, GA on Monday, was charged with aggravated battery. According to court documents, the fight errupted after an argument over Stone’s grand children. Stone is currently being held in Dekalb County jail. Her daughter was released without any charges.
Apparently these 3 guys don’t know each other….but they have GOT the rhythm to vibe. What an epic performance!

I’m all for getting my stuff into iTunes more efficiently, aren’t you? Jordan Merrick is, too, and he’s come up with a brilliant way to do just that. He’s also got a great site full of clever tips there as well. Really, go check it out.
The default way, says Merrick, for media to get to iTunes is like this: drag and drop a folder full of music or a video you’ve converted from DVD to iTunes. iTunes takes said media, copies it, and places it into its own special folder structure.
What happens in this case is that you’re left holding two copies of that album or video — one in your iTunes folder and one wherever you pulled it from. That’s kind of silly, if you ask me, especially if you back up regularly. No one needs two copies of anything on their hard drive.
Luckily, there’s a cool folder in your iTunes folder that lets you add stuff directly to iTunes. Sadly, it’s pretty buried, but Merrick will show you a better way.
Open up the Finder, he says, and navigate to the Music folder in your Home folder. Open the iTunes folder, then the iTunes Media folder. You’ll see an folder called Automatically Add to iTunes. Drag this folder over to the sidebar in the Finder for easy access.
Now, every time you want to put music or video into iTunes, simply drag it over to the sidebar and into the Automatically Add to iTunes folder you’ve placed there. iTunes will then add it to its own system.
If it’s not a file that iTunes can handle, the app will place a folder called Not Added into the Automatically Add to iTunes folder that can clean out later.

It was nine years ago that Missy Elliot ruled the music industry with her “The Cookbook” album. Now, almost a decade later, the artist is promising a comeback.
In a chat with Yahoo’s “The Yo Show,” Elliott addressed her lengthy hiatus from the spotlight — and admitted that fans will probably keep waiting.
“When I create something, it’s gotta be special, and it can’t just be to throw something out there because I feel like I’m Missy,” said told show host Michael Yo via video chat.
“I gotta feel like what I’m giving the fans is 100% and that it’s game-changing. I don’t just throw out microwave records.”
After 2005’s “The Cookbook,” the hitmaker seemingly vanished from the pop landscape, choosing to slide into the background, producing and lending her voice to singles from Monica, Keyshia Cole, Jazmine Sullivan, Jennifer Hudson and Fantasia.
Elliott eventually began teasing her seventh album, “Block Party,” with a handful of singles throughout the late aughts — “Best, Best,” “Ching-a-Ling,” “Shake Your Pom Pom” — but no album ever materialized. Then, in late 2012, she dropped a pair of singles, “9th Inning” and “Triple Threat,” that reunited her with longtime collaborator Timbaland. But still, no release date for the album.
She assured fans that a comeback album is imminent. “I just ain’t telling nobody when,” she said.
