GeekPod: Song Of The Day: Lil Brianna "Marilyn Monroe"

I've been bumping to this song for quite sometime. Miami native/artist Brianna has been in the game for quite sometime now (since the age of 13 to be exact). She brings us one of her hottest singles "Marilyn Monroe," which has been getting a lot of radio play in Miami for a while now. And a big CONGRATS to Brianna, who was recently signed to Atlantic Records. This is a very big move in her career.

Check out her hot single "Marilyn Monroe" below:

Wale On The Cover Of "Rolling Out"

November 1st is officially here. For those of you that are Wale fans, you know what that means...  "Ambition" is officially out. Besides the release of his album, Wale is on the cover of "Rolling Out." On the cover, Wale is holding a chess play piece with the words "WALE, In Search Of A Hip-Hop Masterpiece." In his interview with the Magazine, he spoke on catering to his female fan, what he looks for in a woman, and people's criticism on why he didn't have dark skin women in his music video "Pretty Girls."

On catering to his female following

"I want to be an advocate for the women. I may say some wild things, but that’s our time to have fun. But I stand for fixing the world our way. Let’s add spice to this and change the world. I believe women should go to school to network with others who will change the world. I’m encouraging. I’m a part of the problem, but I want to be a part of the clean up. “No Hands” is the party and “Ambitious Girls” is the clean up. We can have fun, but I hope you’re getting up and going to class. I don’t want to get in the way of that. That [is] something you have to do. For two years, I had to walk around with about $15 in my account. That was my time. I left school and had to get on my grind. I was about 21. Now show me you can work the system for four or five years and continue to do your thing."

On not having dark skin women in his video "Pretty Girls"

"It wasn’t about that, but it showed me what I meant to the black culture. That made me realize that people hold me at a higher regard. That was when I knew I had to make a change. For “Pretty Girls,” I didn’t go on set until there were dark-skinned girls at the video shoot. I was waiting. The most horrible feeling in the world, was that my women think that I don’t care about them. I’d rather go broke than for my black women to think that I don’t care about them. I would rather lose everything than to have my queens think I’m turning my back on them. I was the only kid in my neighborhood with a father. And that’s because I’m African and they don’t divorce. It messed me up. When I was in Mississippi, a girl told me she had her first child at 16. So I made a song called “Illest B—- Alive.” There’s a special place in my heart for black girls. If you’re black and have a black mother, you know how special they are."

Happy 11th Birthday Willow Smith

Not only does Willow get to celebrate Halloween on October 31st, but she also celebrates her birthday. The free spirited daughter of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, celebrates her 11th birthday today. 

Willow is set to star in the remake of popular play and film "Annie." Will and Jada's company Overbrook Entertainment will remake "Annie"  in association with Jay-Z and Sony Pictures. Willow will be singing and putting her own little twist to the film's popular songs like "Hard Knock Life" (which Jay-Z sampled) "Maybe," and "Tomorrow."

Be on the lookout for that project.

Sneak Peak Of Tonight's Basketball Wives L.A (Episode 10)

Seems like tonight's episode of Basketball Wives L.A is going to be filled with a lot of drama. All of the ladies take a trip to the beautiful Hawaii. Now what was suppose to be a relaxed mini vacation without drama, turned into a drama filled vacation. In the sneak peak, Laura talks to her sister Gloria about the situation between she, Jackie, and Imani. She even addresses the fact she does not like Draya (sidenote: but yet, she's always talking and hugging Draya when she sees her... Don't really understand that).

The sneak peak transitions to miss Imani, who is fed up with the trash Laura has been saying about her and the other cast members, calls a moving company to move Laura stuff out her garage. She plans on telling Laura about the moving situation after their trip to Hawaii. In one scene, seems like Imani will finally speak up on her little beef with Laura during dinner in Hawaii.
Check out the sneak peak below:

Let's see how the drama unfolds in tonight's episode.

Tracee Ellis Ross Celebrates 39th Birthday

New Music Video: Jill Scott Featuring Paul Wall "So Gone (What My Mind Says)"

Although Jill is known for her female empowering songs, she is no rookie to sexy bedroom songs. Jill turns it up in her new music video "So Gone (What My Mind Says)", which features Texas rapper Paul Wall. A slimmer Paul Wall is going a different route with his lyrics on Jill's track, where he drops a sexy and pillow biting verse and mentions his diamond-chipped d*%k.

During a listening session earlier this year, Jill spoke on the different titles of the song and the meaning behind one of them. 

"The song kind of embarrasses Paul Wall a little bit because its called a few thing. It's called "So Gone" officially. We've got a clean version, officially, it's called "What My Mind Says," and it's called "Diamond Chip D-k." "Diamond Chip D-k," for anyone who may not understand, is the vision when the zipper is unleashed the bling (laughs) and kind of like that."

New Nike Commercial: "Basketball Never Stops"

Seems like Nike is making a statement with their recent commercial. Since the owners don't want to reach an agreement with the players, Nike decided to gather a couple of players  for new commercial. NBA all stars such as Kevin Durant, Dirk Nowitzki, Lebron James, and Amare Stoudamire is helping Nike send a message "Basketball Never Stops." Coach K from Duke, rapper J.Cole, and Root member/drummer Questlove make an appearance in the commercial. Quest is shown spinning a basketball with his famous hair pic.

In Living Color Making A Comeback

Say it is sooooooo! Could it be that popular FOX sketch comedy series "In Loving Color" could be making a comeback? The show that launched careers of comedians and actors like the Wayans family (Kim, Shawn, Marlon, and Damon), David Allan Grier, Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx, Tommy Davidson, and more is coming to a tv near you. It even started the career of Jennifer Lopez, who was just a Fly Girl showing the world her dance moves.

FOX and "In Living Color" creator/producer Keenan Ivory Wayans announced the return of the classic series with a two and half-hour special. However, there is a catch. If all goes well with the two hour special, a rebooted version will be added to FOX's fall schedule next year. Keenan will produce the series through his company Ivory Way Production, which is in association with 20 Century FOX.
Rumor is that Keenan is bringing in a new cast for the sketch series. But, word has not been confirmed if former cast members will make an appearance.
Check out a classic sketch from "ILC" titled "The Buttmans":

New Music Video: Mary J. Blige "25/8"

In the visual, the world is moving at a fast pace as Mary is singing the lyrics to her song in the middle of the road. Later, Mary surprises us with a military style dance routine with a group of male dancers in her military inspired look.

New Music Video: Beyonce Featuring J.Cole "Party"

A couple of days ago, we gave you a sneak peak of Beyonce's new music video "Party." Well, the video is officially here. Only Beyonce would make living in a trailer park look good or having a simple pool party at a motel seem fun. Bey hits us with her 3rd music video in one month and shows us how she likes to party.

In this 90"s style video, J.Cole joins Bey and drops a couple of bars on the track. The laid back setting has cameo appearances by Bey's sister Solange rocking beautiful long braids, while on the turntables and Kelly Rowland doing a little two step with Bey by an old school car.
