Safaree Talks New EP & Current Relatinoship With Nicki While She Joins Meek For Grammy Weekend

Nicki Minaj’s Ex Safaree Talks New EP And Their Current Relationship Status Safaree Samuels is slowly but surely becoming a circulated name on the pop culture scene in light of his very publicized split from YMCMB first lady Nicki Minaj, but he’s now focused on moving forward with his music. SB recently sat down with XXL Magazine for a quick chat about his upcoming EP, whether or not it will include songs about the break up and even commented on the real status of his current relationship with Nicki amidst all the rumors. Check out a few interview excerpts below. via XXL Magazine So aside from “Burner” what else can we expect from your EP? There’s definitely going to be some personal stuff on there. That’s another thing, too. People are going to really be able to hear where I’m coming from. It’s not just going to be your typical rapper, I’m going to have a couple of things in there that’s going to be personal. When people hear [my next song], they’re going to be blown away. It’s a really dope song. It’s called “Bruce Wayne.” What is it about? It’s about a guy who’s talking to a girl; he’s just telling the girl how he wants to make her feel good, but it’s in a sarcastic, funny way. Also just letting a girl know, “Hey, I like you but don’t get it twisted.” It’s a fun record. It’ll make sense for the spring time. Can you tell me a little bit about your new music? I’m Jamaican, so there’s some things in there of the Jamaican culture. There’s a big Jamaican influence. I’m from Brooklyn, I’m from New York, so they’ll be feel good N.Y. music. There’s going to be down South music. I’m not your typical New York artist. I’m not out here trying to act like I’m a thug who’s going to shoot you and kill you. Because people that are shooting are not free doing music, they’re in jail. I’m not even trying to portray that. Do you want to touch on Nicki at all? They’ll hear it in the music coming up. I get the vibe that you’re trying to distance yourself from the Nicki stuff and focus on the music. I’m just working on myself. You work on yourself everyday, right? Are you and Nicki on good terms? We’re on great terms. Anything else you want to add? Health, wealth and positivity. You get what you put out. Safaree also recently snagged a campaign with Karl Kani clothing and is gearing up to have the video for his single  “Burner” debut on MTV Jams.  Welp. Can’t blame dude for wanting to get on with his life, riiigggght? You can check out the full interview with XXL Magazine HERE .

Clap For ‘Em: Dartmouth College Will Offer #BlackLivesMatter Course On Racial Inequality In America

Dartmouth College Announces #BlackLivesMatter Courses On Racial Inequality In America Darmouth College is taking a step in the right direction by planning to offer courses centered around educating students in racial inequality and violence in America. via Fox News Dartmouth College will offer its students a spring semester course borne of the events surrounding the fatal shooting last year of an unarmed black man by a police officer in Ferguson, Mo. The course, titled, “10 Weeks, 10 Professors: #BlackLivesMatter” is “dedicated to considering race, structural inequality and violence in both a historical and modern context,” The Dartmouth student newspaper reported. The lessons in the Ivy League school’s pilot course will be divided into 15 sections and involve more than 10 academic departments, including anthropology, history, mathematics, English and women’s studies, according to the paper. About 15 Dartmouth professors are expected to teach the individual sections of the class. “We hope students will be able to understand that Ferguson is not just an event in 2014, but something that’s tethered in time to a long history and still-emerging ideas about race in the U.S. and how policing works in an age of social media and distributed surveillance,” said English professor Aimee Bahng, according to The Dartmouth paper. Kudos to Dartmouth College! Hopefully other institutions will soon follow in their footsteps.
