It seems that everyone has an opinion about Iggy Azalea who has been criticized by a number of people, particularly Azealia Banks, for her misappropriation of hip-hop culture. Q-Tip took to Twitter on Saturday (Dec. 20) to teach folks and Azalea a lesson in hip-hop history.


First, the veteran rhyme-slinger addressed the media and bloggers on what hip-hop culture represents.


Afterward, Q-Tip then addressed Iggy, specifically, on her responsibility to hip-hop culture. His comments were supportive and informative unlike Banks’ acidic tweets of late. The Aussie rhymer has yet to respond to Q-Tip’s missive. He wrote:

Amber Rose Backs It Up on Chris Brown at Supper Club [VIDEO]


Amber Rose was hard at “twerk” recently and Chris Brown was the lucky benefactor of it. The Internet is in a tizzy over a video that shows the nearly divorced model-actress backing that ass up on the R&B crooner.


It all went down at the Supper Club in Los Angeles on Thursday (Dec. 18). According to E! Online, the club was hosting “Studio Thursdays,” an event where fans can witness an “intimate concert experience” from a different artist each week.


Apparently, Rose was in the house with her date, Blacc Chyna, who recently split from her ex-boyfriend Tyga so those two have a lot in common.


While Breezy was onstage, Wiz Khalifa’s ex-wife decided to back her goods up on Breezy while the song ‘Back That Azz Up’ was bumping through the speakers. Acting all nonchalant, CB sat back and enjoyed the bootylicious ride.


Then Chyna jumped onstage and Rose gave her booty a couple of love slaps in front of the roaring crowd.


An insider told E! News that Rose and Brown were joking around afterwards and didn’t take the twerking session seriously.


Honestly, Rose looks fabulous in her tight white leggings and top. A year after giving birth to her baby boy, Sebastian Taylor Thomaz, the 31-year-old blonde bombshell still have the goods.

LL Cool J Performs '4,3,2,1′ With Canibus at Barclays Center [VIDEO]


LL Cool J performed at Hot 97’s holiday show at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., on Friday (Dec. 19), and brought out an unexpected guest — Canibus!


For those who don’t know, LL and Canibus had a heated feud back in 1997. The duo performed ‘4,3,2,1,’ the track that sparked the feud.


The Queens native was dressed in all black with a matching leather jacket emblazoned with bling-bling lettering of “G.O.A.T.” — Greatest of All Time — and dookie gold rope chain.


It looks LL and Canibus squashed their beef as they rapped their verses from the Erick Sermon-produced song. At the end of their performance, LL turned to Canibus and told him that his rap career is starting over again.


We don’t know if Canibus can parlay this great hip-hop moment into a rap career, but it’s good to see two lyrical warriors end their conflict peacefully onstage.
