The singing diva's fashion choice for the 2013 Grammy Awards didn't quite live up to her usual fashion-forward style. Check out her demure look. Joan Rivers and the Fashion Police give their ruling on Beyonce style.
Eddie Griffin has built an ever-growing fan base since jumping onto the comedy scene in 1990 and hasn’t looked back since. His Stand-Up Comedy Specials have received rave reviews.
Def Comedy Jam is an HBO television series produced by Russell Simmons. The series had its original run from March 7, 1992 to May 2, 1997.
1991 was a crazy year. Magic Johnson, Rodney King, and Michael Jackson were all in the news, and Eddie Griffin's got thoughts.
American rapper Albert Johnson, better known by his stage name Prodigy, was born on November 2, 1974 in Hempstead, New York. His greatest professional successes were accomplished as one half of the hip hop duo Mobb Deep.
But almost as much as writing great rhymes, Prodigy loved a good rap beef. His career was filled with battles against many of the greatest rappers of all time, and he usually gave as good as he got.
Jay Z vs Prodigy
The "New York, New York" video actually started a second major beef in Prodigy's career. Jay made a passing reference to the clip on his 1998 song "Money, Cash, Hoes": "It's like New York's been soft ever since Snoop came through and crushed the building."
It was a line Prodigy took public exception to. "Jay was nowhere to be found when that drama popped off between Mobb Deep, Dogg Pound, Pac, and Biggie," P told The Source. "That was our little personal beef, not a coastal war... so Jay Z is a bitch-ass nigga for making that quote in his lyrics."
Tensions that had been stewing for years (there were, P claimed, subliminals thrown back and forth on "Trife Life" and "Where I'm From") exploded in 2001 when Hov debuted his Mobb Deep diss "Takeover" live at Summer Jam, and included the now-infamous picture of a young Prodigy at his grandmother's dance school.
"I did like the tactic that Jay used," Prodigy said years later, about the photo displayed on the Summer Jam screen. "That was pretty slick." He fired back with "Crawlin'"—and, at least according to his memoir, by nearly beating Jay up at Diddy's restaurant, Justin's.
Nas vs Prodigy
On "Destroy and Rebuild," released in 2001, Nas took some shots at P, but in a very Nas-like way: "Prodigy, I got love for you," he says on the song's outro. "Just get them unloyal niggas from out your circle." Prodigy claimed in his book that Nas rapped this because "he was mad at me for doing a song with Cormega on which Mega took shots at Nas in his verse."
But there was actually another, deeper level. P said in an interview on Vlad TV that some of Nas' Queensbridge friends were upset that Prodigy was repping their hood even though he wasn't originally from there.
"I can't even really be mad at Nas, because these is the people he grew up with," P said. "I had to distance myself from them, because [Nas is] standing next to someone who's threatening my life... that's how it got kind of crazy." Nas and P reconciled when Prodigy returned home from prison in 2011.
Don't try to compare them to another bad little fad! These two best friends with the same name didn’t have dreams of fame and fortune but, they would accomplish just that with their talent and unique fashion style. Then, after going radio silent for many years, followed by one special and nostalgic reunion performance, a shocking death ended it all for good. Let’s find out what happened to American ‘90s Hip Hop duo Kris Kross.
Kris Kross was an American hip hop duo that consisted of Chris "Mac Daddy" Kelly and Chris "Daddy Mac" Smith. Kris Kross was the youngest hip-hop duo to gain success, with gold and platinum albums at 12 and 13 years old. The duo was discovered by Jermaine Dupri in 1991.
