The masters were recorded between 1998 and 2002 are valued somewhere between fifteen and twenty million dollars. The police have already taken possession of the tapes which led to the extortion investigation.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Cambria, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">As the story goes, Jay-Z and other artists who were signed to Roc-A-Fella Records recorded tons and tons of master recordings in the four year span. The masters went missing some time in 2002 which around the same time Mahan stopped working with the label. However, when the masters went missing everyone assumed they were lost and never thought they were stolen.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Cambria, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Cambria, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">In present times, the producer Chauncey Mahan had several of the master recordings in a storage facility in Northridge, California. Mahan supposedly got in contact with Live Nation–Jay Z’s partner in Roc Nation– and told them he would put the tapes up for auction or give Live Nation the tapes for a hundred thousand dollar “storage fee.” Mahan was eventually talked down to $75,000.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Cambria, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></span></span><br />

Chauncey Mahan went to the storage facility to close the deal with Jay’s people, but they had called the authorities. When the LAPD showed up to the storage facility, Mahan was detained and agreed to head to the police station for questioning. Mahan also allowed the police to place the tapes in their possession until true ownership could be determined.</div>

Chauncey Mahan was not officially arrested. The Beverly Hills police are investigating the alleged extortion plot because rthat’s where Live Nation is based. Back in New York City, Jay Z’s camp has filed a grand larceny complaint and the NYPD is opening an investigation.</div>

<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">Phil Jackson and the New York Knicks are progressing toward a deal to sign veteran free agent Lamar Odom before the NBA regular season ends Wednesday, according to sources briefed on the situation.</span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">Sources told ESPN.com that the Knicks are on course, barring an unforeseen snag, to formally sign Odom this week in a move that would put him on their roster immediately and, more importantly, include an unguaranteed second year for next season.</span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">Structuring the deal this way, after a tumultuous 12 months for one of Jackson’s favorite players when they worked together with the Los Angeles Lakers, would give the Knicks two months before free agency begins July 1 to get the 34-year-old into their program and start working with him.</span></i><br />

<br />
In the last seven decades the gap between women and men's income has not changed much; <span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><b>women only earn 77 cents to every dollar that a man makes</b></span>.<br />
<br />
In an effort to bridge the gap and ensure equal pay for equal work, <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">President Barack Obama signed a pair of executive orders</span></b>. One order ensured women's rights to equal pay, the other stops federal contractors from retaliating against employees that request to discuss their pay with supervisors.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
This is the newest action that the president has taken to enforce worker's rights, but not the first. The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act (2009) is another law that was passed in an effort achieve fairness in the workplace. <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">All of these fall under the Fair Paycheck Act which will be under review with these new orders</span></b>.<br />

<br />
Through both of his terms <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">President Obama has consistently maintained that economic equality was his major platform and he would do everything in his power to see it through</span></b>. As a society we still have a long way to go, but I can safely that this is the most that one man has ever done to improve the struggle of minorities in America.<br />

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick is being investigated for a possible sexual assault at a hotel in Miami, Florida according to <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2014/04/10/colin-kaepernick-49ers-sexual-assault-investigation-miami-viceroy/" target="_blank">source</a>.<br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="continued"></a> The alleged incident took place at the Viceroy Hotel in Miami earlier this month.<br /><br />Our sources tell us ... the investigation is in its "beginning stages" and no charges have been filed against anyone at this point.<br />
TMZ has reached out to both Colin's agent and the San Francisco 49ers, but they both refused to comment at this time.<br /><br />Kaepernick doesn't appear to be fazed by the allegations -- he was out partying at a Miami nightclub early Sunday morning with a smile on his face.<br /><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: magenta;">We hope everything works out for him!</span></em></strong><br />

<br />
As you probably already read, The Game and his baby mama Tiffney Cambridge are in the middle of crazy domestic dispute, but with Tiffney’s new man 40 Glocc is taking shots like these against Game and we really hope things don’t escalate!!<br />
<br />
In addition to the post above he posted a gym selfie with the caption:<br />
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">

If you remember, there’s a video on <a data-ls-seen="1" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgrMTt91G6k" target="_blank">WorldStarHipHop</a> of 40 getting jumped by The Game.<br />
40 Glocc continued his insult by posting another photo of Tiffney riding in the passenger seat of his car.<br />

<br />
For the past few years <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">The Roots have been busy working as the band on Jimmy Fallon's night shows</span></b>. Their participation on the show gained exposure to a new audience, but we appreciate that they haven't lost their trademark sound.<br />
<br />
"<span style="color: cyan;">When the People Cheer</span>" is the first single off their upcoming album <i><span style="color: #ffd966;">And Then You Shoot Your Cousin</span></i>. Take a listen...<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><b>This will be The Roots' eleventh studio album</b></span>, we're curious to see how they're gonna handle promotion while they juggle The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.<br />

<br />
<i><b>“Single Ladies”</b></i> will live to see another season after VH1 abruptly canceled the show last month.<br />
LisaRaye McCoy, Denise Vasi and Charity Shea aren’t out of a job....at least for now! The <a href="http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/showtracker/la-et-st-centric-20140407,0,2593985.story#axzz2yIX3aYa5" target="_blank"><em>Los Angeles Times</em></a>
reports that BET Centric has picked up <i><b>“Single Ladies”</b></i> for season 4.
Queen Latifah’s Flavor Unit is creating new episodes for Centric as part
of a new deal with the network.<br />
Last week there was chatter that BET might take on the show the same
way it saved <i><b>“The Game.”</b></i> The network wouldn’t directly comment on the
gossip at the time, but this announcement presents a twist on the
initial rumors.<br />
<i><b>“Single Ladies” </b></i>has come as part of a package deal! According to the <em>LA Times</em>,
Flavor Unit will also create other original shows for Centric and the
network will air reruns of “The Queen Latifah Show” in prime time.<br />
<br />
<br />
<i><b>Congrats to the cast! Hopefully BET can make the show better....?</b></i>the urban-cafehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18409298063579451704noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7662358065864758115.post-51446655445688571512014-04-09T13:06:00.001-07:002014-04-09T13:06:35.689-07:00RUMOR! Fantasia Offended Kandi With Wedding Speech<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://christalrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/kandi-burruss-fantasia-christal_rock.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://christalrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/kandi-burruss-fantasia-christal_rock.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Kandi reportedly left her wedding horrified after her good friend Fantasia Barrino gave an expletive laced speech at the wedding and creating a rift between the friends.<br />
<br />
According to <a href="http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2014/04/kandi-burruss-horrified-wedding-fantasia-foul-mouth-speech/" target="_blank">RadarOnline.com</a>,
Fantasia was letting profanities fly when she toasted Kandi and Todd
Tucker at their wedding on April 4. Overjoyed about her friend’s big
day, one guest dished that Fantasia forgot that she was
in mixed company at a formal affair, letting some foul language slip
out of her mouth.<br />
<i><b>“Fantasia started by saying, ‘Kandi, you are my m*therf*ckin’ friend
and I love you,’”</b></i> the insider claims. <i><b>“Then she called Kandi the
‘realest b*tch I know’ and rambled on about her big butt. Todd was
furious and the other bridesmaids got Fantasia to sit down. Thank
goodness!”</b></i><br />
<br />
Supposedly, Fanny’s speech was so bad that the witness would not be
surprised if the incident affected her relationship with the “Real
Housewives of Atlanta” bride.<br />
<i><b>“Kandi was horrified!” the source alleged. “She and Fantasia are close, but this may ruin their friendship.”</b></i><br />
Neither Kandi, Todd nor Fantasia have spoken out about the
accusations or the current status of their friendship at this time, but this
doesn’t seem like anything serious enough to end a friendship.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><i><b>Fantasia can sing but she needs some class! </b></i></span><br />

Porsha Williams Put on Blast by Producer for Stealing Syleena Johnson’s Song<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://guardianlv.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Real-Housewives-of-Atlanta-Porsha-Williams-an-Embarrassment-to-African-American-Women.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://guardianlv.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Real-Housewives-of-Atlanta-Porsha-Williams-an-Embarrassment-to-African-American-Women.jpg" height="266" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Porsha Williams has been all over the blogs lately, but now the reality star is being blasted with accusations she stole a song for her upcoming EP.<br />
<br />
It’s the song <strong><em>“Perfectly Worthless,”</em></strong> that we watched Porsha record on <strong><a href="http://www.lovebscott.com/news/real-housewives-atlanta-cast-threatens-walk-porsha-williams-gets-fired" target="_blank" title="‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ Cast Threatens to Walk if Porsha Williams Gets Fired">this past week’s episode</a></strong> of <em>Real Housewives of Atlanta</em>.<br />
<br />
Pierre Medor wrote and produced the song, but he was so upset with Porsha’s demo of the song he decided not to sell it to her.<br />
Now, he’s alleging she stole the song for the show without his permission.<br />
<br />
Pierre’s rep told <a href="http://theybf.com/2014/04/08/producer-to-porsha-williams-you-stole-my-songand-you-sounded-like-crap" target="_blank">TheYBF.com</a>:<br />
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<em><strong><span style="color: magenta;">In the business more than one artist will record the same song hoping for the right outcome, as was the case with Perfectly Worthless. Porsha Stewart wanted a song, Pierre Medor wrote and produced this song in its entirety. Not having any previous point of reference for Porsha, we initially recorded the song for the purpose of determining her vocal abilities and how they would fit with this particular song; it was quickly determined that this song wasn’t the best match for her, so we chose not to sell her the song and notified her management of our decision.</span></strong></em></div>
<br />
The producer was completely shocked to hear his song on television and has began to seek legal action regarding the incident. The rep then goes on to throw all kinds of shade on Porsha:<br />
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<em><strong><span style="color: magenta;">“Perfectly Worthless” is a great song and she loves it…we get that. But just like every body doesn’t look good in spandex, every voice doesn’t fit every song. It’s just unfortunate that Porsha has chosen to create another delusional marriage with this song by airing it and claiming to have taken part in its creation.</span></strong></em></div>
<span style="line-height: 1.5em;"></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Since Porsha didn’t get the song, it was later sold to <em>R&B Divas</em> star Syleena Johnson and will appear on her forthcoming album</span><br />
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<em><strong><span style="color: magenta;">“Perfectly Worthless” is a great song and she loves it…we get that. But just like every body doesn’t look good in spandex, every voice doesn’t fit every song.

<br />
Bravo’s <em><strong>Real Housewives of Atlanta</strong></em> may have been<strong> </strong>renewed for a seventh season, but producers now have a major problem on their hands.<br />
<br />
According <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2014/04/08/real-housewives-of-atlanta-porsha-williams-fired-kenya-moore-fight/?adid=hero1" target="_blank">to sources</a>, the ladies (except for Kenya Moore....of course) are threatening to leave the show if producers fire Porsha Williams over her fight with Kenya.<br />
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<em></em> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<em><span style="color: magenta;">Sources close to the show say the women hatched their plan this weekend at Kandi Burruss’ wedding … telling the show’s producers how much they despise Moore because of all the drama she stirs up.</span></em></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<em><span style="color: magenta;">We are hearing that since the brawl, ALL housewives’ contracts for next season have been put on hold — until show honchos figure out what to do with Porsha.</span></em></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<em><span style="color: magenta;">But sources tell us the women have made it clear … they’ll walk if Porsha gets fired … and we’re told NeNe Leakes and Phaedra Parks are making a play to get Kenya fired instead.</span></em></div>
<br />
Wow!!!! Do you think their plans will work??? Kenya does bring ratings to the showthe urban-cafehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18409298063579451704noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7662358065864758115.post-65223912562106790682014-04-08T10:03:00.000-07:002014-04-08T10:03:07.349-07:00El DeBarge Performs on Arsenio (VIDEO)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
The couple just welcomed a beautiful baby girl Marley Rae McCall, and now reports say Eva Marcille has filed a restraining order against Kevin McCall resulting from a major domestic dispute. Eva obtained a restraining order against rapper BF Kevin McCall on March 28th, claiming he went ballistic during an argument and chased her around their home, trying to take their 2-month-old daughter. <br />
<br />
Eva claims Kevin kicked down 4 doors during his rampage and even threatened to punch her.<br />
But the weird part is that just a few days later on April 4th, the family was all smiles on Eva’s Instagram.....huh???<br />
<br />
Hopefully they can work things out for that baby's sake!the urban-cafehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18409298063579451704noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7662358065864758115.post-26891669737697085842014-04-07T16:57:00.001-07:002014-04-07T16:57:13.684-07:00Tiny and Shekinah Get Their Own Show<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<a href="http://www.eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/army-women-hairstyle-regulations.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/army-women-hairstyle-regulations.jpg" height="250" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The US Army recently released a statement informing the public about its new policy for the way women are allowed to style their hair.<br />
<br />
The illustration indicates that <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">twists, multiple braids, and headbands are not allowed</span></b>. This can definitely be a problem for black women who wear their hear in braids and twists while enrolled in the military. During assignments soldiers are often sent away to remote locations for extended periods of time. <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Many black women opt for protective styles (braids, twists, weaves, etc) while they are away from home</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://media.miamiherald.com/smedia/2014/04/04/16/31/780-11wbz2.Em.55.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://media.miamiherald.com/smedia/2014/04/04/16/31/780-11wbz2.Em.55.jpeg" height="265" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The military's decision to ban these styles <span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><b>can be perceived as racial discrimination since there is a very specific demographic that chooses to wear their hair this way</b></span>. Patricia Jackson Kelly, a member of the National Association of Black Military Women, challenges this new rule stating "<i><span style="color: cyan;">I don't see how a woman wearing three braids in her hair</span></i> [...] <i><span style="color: cyan;">affects her duty to perform her job in the military</span></i>."<br />
<br />
Others are standing behind the army's decision, explaining that <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">the military is a conservative organization that does not make room for trendy, attention-grabbing hairstyles </span></b>that black women often bring into the environment. Many believe that the hairstyles are a violation of the professionalism that they are expected to maintain.<br />
<br />
<b>In addition to these banned hairstyles, the Army also banned body piercings, long sideburns, mohawks, and tattoos that are visible while wearing a uniform</b>.<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: magenta;">What do you think of this new policy? Will it stick, or will the public protest enough to have the Army reconsider?</span></i></b>Maria V. http://www.blogger.com/profile/13297193262641755557noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7662358065864758115.post-25146719293114266112014-04-05T10:30:00.000-07:002014-04-06T01:05:09.934-07:00NEW MUSIC: Drake - Draft Day<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So yeah, <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Drake has a new single</span></b>. I'm still not completely clear on who told him to make it (was it a contracted song between Drake and a professional league?), but whatever. <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">The song samples Lauryn Hill's classic hit "That Thing"</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<i>Take a listen...</i><br />
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ7ENXz_mv4<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't love it. <span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><b>I know a lot of Drake Stans will drink the Kool-Aid just because it's him</b></span>, but I'm not too impressed with the lyrics or the use of the Lauryn Hill sample. <u>That's just me</u>. I could be hating.<br />
<br />
