Miguel’s Billboard Awards Leg Drop: The Funniest Memes

TheUrbanDaily.com — Mon, 20 May 2013 04:22:30 +0000

During R&B star Miguel’s performance of his hit “Adorn” at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards the singer attempted to jump over a crowd of screaming fans but didn’t quite stick the landing. Needless to say, one fan got a face full of Miguel and knows him better than any one else in the audience.

Thanks to the internet moments like this don’t just go away, they live on forever in a stream of memes that won’t end until another celebrity does something embarrassing.

We wish High School was this much fun for us. During the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, Nicki Minaj continued her extended tease of Lil Wayne (and her fans) by treating him to another lap dance.

When the Young Money rappers took the stage to perform their hit “High School,” Minaj couldn’t wait to turn her famous derrier to the audience and straddle Lil Tunechi as he sat in a chair. Catch our photos, animated gifs and video of that performance.

Chris Brown Gets Death Threats

According to TMZ, The Los Angeles Police Department is currently investigating death threats made against Chris Brown.

Multiple threats were allegedly called in to the office of Brown’s attorney, Mark Geragos. TMZ reports they are hearing that Brown’s life was threatened, but they are not yet clear on whether there were any specific details given as to what the people wanted to do to Chris specifically.

TMZ say Geragos, took the threats very seriously and immediately reported them to the LAPD, giving them all the information he had on the calls.

Apparently, Geragos filled out a report and the LAPD are currently investigating.

Mark Geragos has handled some very high profile clients including Michael Jackson. So if he went to these extremes we’re guessing the threats must have seemed pretty credible to him!

Wow, stay safe Breezy! We know a lot has gone on with this young man in the last few years, but we can’t imagine anyone wants to see Chris hurt or worse. We hope all is well in his camp today.

The Urban Daily will keep this story updated as more information becomes available.

Yeezus! Kanye West Performs On SNL Season Finale [Video]

So, for those who missed the news yesterday, Kanye is getting ready to drop a new project entitled “Yeezus” and no we are not joking. The 35 year-old father to be is truly using that as a title.

As we previously reported, Kanye debuted the new song from the “Yeezus” project called “New Slaves” on Friday night on the sides of 66 different buildings around the world.

And to cap his weekend off, On SNL he performed both “New Slaves” and another new song called “Black Skinhead” in which he brings up Kimmy K.

Take a look!

When we see this darker Ye, it’s sort of hard to know if this is him playing toward his current persona in the media, or if he’s truly feeling this type of anger and upset toward the world. But either way, he will have people who absolutely love it and him or people who feel the complete opposite and think he’s just throwing tantrums and behaving badly. It will either be hailed as creative genius or condemned as noise from a man close to a nervous breakdown. But maybe being polarizing was the point. Maybe that’s what he was going for.

What do you think? Do you enjoy the darker, angrier Kanye? Take our poll and have your say!

13-Year-Old Rapper Lil Mouse Accused Of Allegedly Threatening To Kill A 3rd Grader

TheUrbanDaily.com — Sun, 19 May 2013 06:30:42 +0000

Follow @TheUrbanDaily

File this one under what is this world coming to? Allegedly 13-year-old Chicago rapper, Lil Mouse slapped a 3rd grade student in the hallway at school and told him, he was going to kill him. The 3rd grade boy then went to the principal’s office for help and that’s when the friends of Lil Mouse reportedly threatened the kid again because he was snitching.

The 3rd graders grandmother claims that Mouse and his 8th grade friends have been harassing the little boy for some time now.

Take a look at what Chicago’s Fox 32 found in their report on the matter.

This is the music video that is referred to in the story. This song was actually remixed and included on a Lil Wayne mix tape.

Regardless of what happens with this specific case, it’s time for us as parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles, big brothers and sisters and citizens of our communities to realize, we are failing these kids. Something must be done, as you can see from this video and the news stories we hear nightly around this nation, we clearly have no more time to waste.

Happy Birthday, El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz (Malcolm X)

Newsone — Sun, 19 May 2013 06:00:25 +0000

May 19, 1925, in Omaha, Nebraska, the man we would come to know as Malcolm X burst into the world.

As he evolved away from his past as Detroit Red, he transformed himself first, into a loyal protégé of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, then, into a world renowned human rights activist. He never hid behind his legend to avoid speaking of his time as a petty criminal, instead using his story to bolster the confidence of everyday men facing his same struggles. He let them know, in no uncertain terms, that they didn’t have to have a pristine past to make a difference in the present and the future.

The seismic shift that occurred in our culture, politics and philosophy as Black Americans in the ’50s and ’60s will forever be linked to brother Malcolm and his strength in the face of adversity, his unwillingness to bow to the hypocrisy that he had grown to see within the Nation of Islam, and his refusal to dilute his power for a country that feared his influence.

Top 5 Malcolm X Speeches

When looking back at the often tumultuous days of Malcolm’s life, one can not help but wonder what was on his mind. As he began to separate from the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the man he credited with saving his life, as he broke ranks with the Nation of Islam, the brothers he had molded into the image of Black manhood that was deemed necessary for the separation of Black and White Americans to be successful, as his philosophy began to shift away from merging race and religion, to his belief that matters of human rights can not be confined by such a flimsy institution, as he begin to realize that he was living a lie and all White Americans were no more our enemies than all Black Americans were our friends, what was on his mind?

Many of us forget that he was only 39-years-old when he was gunned down in the Audubon Ballroom just north of Harlem, New York on February 21, 1965. In his short life he went through three pivotal transformations that culminated with the founding of Organization of Afro-America Unity and Muslim Mosque, Inc. Though the two convergent movements never gained the traction and power of the NOI, it spoke to Malcolm’s influence that he was able to step out on purpose and take people with him that were ready to die for him.

Where are those leaders today?

As we celebrate the birth of Malcolm, I’m reminded of the day that I had the honor of meeting his eldest daughter, Ambassador Attallah Shabazz in Los Angeles. I was able to look into her eyes and see her father’s spirit, intelligence, resilience and passion — and to also tell her that he shaped my philosophy on religion, politics and race. I shared with her that he gave me strength to stand on principal when it seemed that no one was standing by my side. She smiled when I told her that when I was first introduced to his focus on human rights, rather than civil rights — because how can we expect civility until we are first considered human? — it changed my life.

In a poem I penned in 2011, I recount how I was also able to share my unyielding love and respect for the great El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz with my now 8-year-old son:

Today my son went to school like any other day

He took his shower, brushed his hair, ate his breakfast and

Kissed me goodbye

But not before I told him about a man

Not before I explained to him that, though this man’s time was brief

His impact on the world is one that shook the buildings in Washington

And the hoods from Detroit to Harlem

Not before I told him that here stood a Prince who stood for something

A King who struggled in the trenches each and every day

To shed light in darkness

To weld the power burning in our collective psyches

Into Weapons of Mass Instruction

Not before I told him that because of one Warrior

Freedom will forever be a word in his mother’s vocabulary

Because I’m ready to die for it

Not before I told him that there once was a man

Whose body was defiled by bullets and lies

His death certificate signed by traitors and bureaucrats

A man who could not contain brilliance so bright it lit minds

From the ghettos of this stolen nation to the deserts of Africa

Reminding us that the shackles of slavery have been broken

Yet we still have to escape the plantation

I told him about a Soldier who refused to withdraw from a battle with a country

That refused to define him as man and in that defiance of oppression

Taught an entire generation that equality — on our terms — will be had

By Any Means Necessary

Before my son walked out of the door

I told him about his brother, his teacher, his elder, his ancestor

Who refused to live a lie even if it assured his death

Who refused to kowtow or step and fetch it

Or be a diluted version of the man he was destined to be

Just so he could later be deemed acceptable enough

To warrant a holiday on the day of his birth

Yes, my son went to school today…

But not before I told him about brother Malcolm.

Today, I hope we all take a moment to honor the life of a man who died for us all — and continue to walk in his legacy.

Happy Birthday, brother Malcolm.
