Drake & Chris Brown in The Studio...BUT WHY???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Drake played it cool when Confidenti@l spoke to him about his former nemesis Chris Brown and his ex-love Rihanna.

The rapper shied away from talk that his longstanding feud with Brown — which reached a head when the two had a brawl at W.i.P. nightclub in New York in 2012 — is over now that Drizzy shared a shot of them together via Instagram on Friday. He also gave the broadest hint that he and Rihanna were never serious, insisting he has always been a “bachelor.” “Actually, my status (as a bachelor) hasn’t changed, just to clear that up,” he said.

Drake will host the 2014 ESPYs along with LeBron James on Wednesday, and he told us he’s completely focused. “I have put everything on hold to give the best possible performance I can at this awards show,” he said. “When I commit to something, I don’t let my focus stray.” Drake promises “a few jokes” for athletes at
the ceremony, which will be televised live at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.
After their infamous club fight in June 2012, the world pretty much ruled out any chance of a Drake and Chris Brown collaboration. But that’s all changed since the superstar duo were spotted together in the recording studio. Why collab now? Drake couldn’t pass up the “potential to be epic,” a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.

Drake, 27, and Chris Brown, 25, won’t let an old rivalry over Rihanna, 26, ruin a potential hit song for both of them! The singers confirmed they were in the studio together in an Instagram photo posted by Rap Radar’s Elliott Wilson. In the pic, Chris looks like he’s singing — and Drake listens approvingly. This is all happening because Drake won’t let anything — or any feud — stand in the way of his career!

Drake: Why The Rapper Agreed To Record Music With Chris Brown

Not even a club fight can keep Drake from collaborating with another famous musician. “Drake’s always been about his music and making his money and no one will ever come between that — not even Chris Brown,” a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
“There are no issues between them whatsoever as you can see. Drake has always said he doesn’t have a problem with Chris and he meant that,” our source reveals. Drake couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make a hit!

“He will work with anyone in the biz if he thinks the collab has the potential to be epic,” our source admits.
We think right now is the perfect time for these two to record music together — we can’t wait to hear how the track (or maybe even tracks!) turns out!

Drake: He Doesn’t Care What Rihanna Thinks About Collab With Chris Brown
We previously reported that Chris was a big fan of Drake’s music and was open to recording with him. But one person who most likely was NOT open to this? That’s Drake and Chris’ ex, Rihanna. We’ve learned that Drake doesn’t really care what Riri thinks about this collab!

“He’s sure Rihanna doesn’t agree with him working with Chris, but at the end of the day, he’s going to make his own decisions,” a source close to Drake tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “And like he told Rihanna from the jump, he’s about his music and that comes first — even if it is doing a collab with Chris.”
What do YOU think about Drake putting an “epic” song and "making money over an old feud? Let us know!

Carmelo To go to the CAVS....(O.o) !?

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony together in Cleveland? Why is this even possible?

ESPN's Bill Simmons answered 24 questions from the NBA Finals and looks ahead to the circus this summer that will be NBA free agency. He gives his take on the who will end up where and why. One of his screnarios is LeBron and Carmelo teaming up and coming to Cleveland to play for the Cavaliers.

Door No. 2 (+400 odds): He goes back to Cleveland and convinces Carmelo to come with him. Do NOT rule this out. Especially if Cleveland hires a coach that LeBron likes. The Cavs are loaded with young assets and could create whatever team LeBron wanted. And also, you gotta love the fairy-tale ending here — LeBron coming home as 10,000 different Cavs fans make YouTube montages of him with that “I’m Coming Home” song.

(The biggest obstacle: Will LeBron ever forgive Dan Gilbert for The Letter? From what I’m hearing … not anytime soon. I’d start groveling to a connected third party right now, Mr. Gilbert, if you’re not doing that already.)

Will this happen? Probably not. But it is fun to think about.

Would you welcome LeBron AND Carmelo to Cleveland?

To The Nay sayers who doesn't think this is possible i ask this...Why is Carmelo so silent on his decision?

Azealia Banks gets dropped from Label and couldn't be happier

After numerous delays of her album Broke With Expensive Taste and creative differences between "212" rapper Azealia Banks and her record label Interscope/Polydor, she has officially been dropped.
Ever the avid tweeter, Banks excitedly made the announcement on her official Twitter account today (July 10).

"IM ABOUT TO GET OUT OF MY DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S THE BIG SURPRISE!!!!! I'S IS FREE!!!!!" she wrote in a series of tweets before making a literary reference. "I'm feeling like miss celie at the end of color purple. Free at last."

The exact circumstances surrounding Banks' split from Interscope are known, but the controversial emcee has made her desires to leave the label very public in recent months, including begging to be released from her contract on Twitter early this year.

In a June interview with Gigwise, Banks took things one step farther and admitted that she had started to hide new tracks from Interscope.

"I haven't been releasing anything that could potentially be phenomenal," she said. "I haven't been doing anything good because I don't want these people to want me. It's like a relationship with an ex-boyfriend, where you kind of do things to make him go away."

Banks' separation from Interscope follows multiple delays of her debut album Broke With Expensive Taste. After garnering plenty of buzz from her track "212" in 2011, the album was originally due out two years ago but has still not seen the light of day.

The future of Broke With Expensive Taste and Banks' discography is unknown at this time, but one thing is for sure: she is one happy camper. She's been retweeting many fans in celebration of her new free status and declaring she can finally do what she wants.

Pat Riley afraid Lebron To Cleveland is a Done Deal... Announcement Thursday

LeBron James' highly anticipated meeting with the Miami Heat in Las Vegas ended Wednesday afternoon, but his uncertain future remains.

According to a person with knowledge of his situation, James has not made up his mind about whether he will re-sign with the Heat or head elsewhere. He is expected to meet with his family to discuss his future, though there is no announcement expected on Wednesday night.James and agent Rich Paul won't meet with any other teams before making his decision. The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the talks.

BRENNAN: LeBron, go home

CARMELO: Also undecided

The Cleveland Cavaliers are considered the most dangerous threat to the Heat's hope of bringing James back. The meeting, which lasted more than an hour, included James, Paul, Heat President Pat Riley and Heat assistant general manager Andy Elisburg.The Cavaliers' three-team trade that was agreed upon Wednesday gives them the necessary salary cap space to sign James, but two people with knowledge of the situation said they were attempting to add yet another enticement to his recruitment by trading for Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Love.

Chris Bosh

One big piece in the NBA free agency market did make a decision on Wednesday, and forward Chris Bosh reportedly decided to sign with the Houston Rockets.......if James decides to head to Cleveland.

Bosh agreeing to a deal with the Rockets can be viewed two ways. The first is that he knows James is serious about leaving, and needs to have a backup plan in place. The second is that he is talking to the Rockets so that the Heat know they have to pay him max money to return.

The good news is that we should be getting some answers soon. James is leaving the country later this week, so the expectations are that he will be making his decision as early as Thursday

End of The Big Three!? Chris Bosh Seeks Max Contract

The longer the LeBron James situation drags out, the more we’re going to continue to hear rumblings about Miami’s Big Three being broken up, with those players pursuing what would certainly be lucrative options elsewhere.

While the Heat remain the most likely destination for James to end up, it does seem for the first time that his leaving to go somewhere else is a real possibility.
If that were to happen, teams would be lining up to try to poach Chris Bosh, who is a legitimate All-Star talent that would command no less than a four-year max contract on the open market. In fact, he may now prefer that to taking less money to stay in Miami on a new deal that might lock him up for the next five years.
From Ken Berger of CBSSports.com:

Bosh possibly going to the Rockets (or to the Lakers or Mavs) proves why the notion of Bosh taking a $10 million pay cut to stay in Miami was never realistic. With the Bulls, Rockets, Mavs, Lakers, Cavs, Suns and potentially others chasing James, Anthony or both, there are more teams than there are LeBrons and Melos (only one of each). Once James and Anthony have made a decision, the teams that lost out will be lining up to create a market for Bosh.
Thus, with James waiting for Heat president Pat Riley to revamp the roster and with Dwyane Wade leaving $42 million on the table at age 32, Bosh is the member of the Big Three most likely to break away. Multiple league sources say there will be a close-to-max market for Bosh if Anthony and James stay with their respective teams. One of those people, an executive with a rival team, said the growing belief around the league is that Bosh would prefer a four-year max deal with another team to a discounted longer deal with Miami.

Any deal that Bosh and LeBron sign to stay in Miami would likely be very similar to their last ones, which included early termination provisions after the first three years. So, if James does return and Bosh agrees to take less in the first couple of years of a new contract, he’ll have the option of either collecting the rest near the end of it, or simply opting out to secure a more lucrative deal when that time comes.
Bosh has said more than once that he doesn’t want to leave Miami. But if the unexpected happens, and LeBron bolts in free agency, it would be easy to see Bosh doing the same — for max money, and without having to deal with the decision of whether or not to take a discount

CH ZOne

Charles Hamilton has so much material so many sounds and styles (some arguably better than others...) but heres a couple songs i feel represent his natural zone...i call it the chzone or ch-stasis...for real if these songs was an album who wouldn't think this nigga was the greatest 

Izaiah Okinawa Graves AKA Clinton "El Presidente"

Izaiah Graves

I knew him when he was just a lil younging. When I first met Izaiah in a high school studio (room 335).Not sure of who he was or what he was all about later  that evening i got a chance to hear him sing. Not only did he sang he brought the house down. By house i mean a packed auditorium of faculty,students, and parents.

 Now I know for a fact that i'm a great hip hop artist and some even say i have a decent singing voice but what i wouldn't give to sing like this guy. Izaiah is talented for real for real. Not only has he mastered his talent vocally but he even plays a couple instruments.Despite having multiple talents the one thing  that is always constant with Izaiah is his bright smile and glowing support of all those he meets and those that inspire him. So in honor of the lil bro please do me a favor and check out his cover of Pharell's "Happy"...i promise he's one of the dopest Gospel/R&B/Pop singers around check him out
