We sat down to talk with a real hip hop legend, Ice Cube: Bossip : Cube, we are big fans of your whole persona and how you stayed true throughout the years… How’d you do it? Cube : It’s really about, trying to… reinvent, not yourself. Reinvent your approach to getting people to understand what you’re about. In each stage of my career, I’ve always tried to keep the audience I had from the jump. So, even with trying to reinvent myself like on Are We There Yet, people need to understand it’s a movie and my real fans knew that and understood. What comes up must come down… so I refuse to go up. If I keep my feet on the ground… I don’t have to worry about going up or down.

Howard University Responds To Accusations Of Bias Against Prospective Black Male Students Yesterday, we reported on an article by Dr. Boyce Watkins in which she addressed the recent claim made by a conference speaker that prestigious HBCU Howard University had purposely excluded black male students from their medical school this year and ended up with zero black make students admitted to the program. In response to the claim, a Howard University professor reached out to BOSSIP to clear up claims that the school says are inaccurate with this statement: A recent article circulated online erroneously states that the Howard University College of Medicine did not admit any African-American males this year. As of June 18, 2013, of the 120 newly admitted medical school students, more than 30 percent are African-American men. The data presented in the article are inaccurate and misleading. Howard University has a legacy of producing highly qualified and compassionate African-American physicians and other health care professionals who deliver patient care particularly in communities that have a shortage of physicians and public health professionals. And there you have it. We can definitely appreciate the school taking the time to clear this up and set the record straight. Continue reading →

Erica Dixon exclusively with BOSSIP about Shay, Momma Dee and whether or not she’ll ever get back with Scrappy! Erica Dixon Talks About Shay, Momma Dee And Scrappy Relationship Erica Dixon was recently spotted backstage at HOT 107.9′s Birthday Bash concert in Atlanta. The reality banger chatted with BOSSIP about her life, her latest foray into modeling for Black Men Magazine and drama on the set of LHHATL with her cast-mates. Bossip: What made you decide to bear it all (them cakes!) for Black Men’s Magazine?? Erica: Honestly, I just wanted to show the world I was more then what meets the eye. I am brains, I work hard and I’m a mother but I also have a body and I’m not ashamed of it. It all came from a place of confidence and showing to everyone that I am more than just a smart businesswoman, but someone who takes care of their body and isn’t afraid to show it off. I look good and I can show it. What is your relationship with Momma Dee? Will you two ever get along?? First of all, Mommma Dee needs Jesus! Like seriously, she needs Jesus in her life. She can’t love me or anyone else until she develops and relationship with Him first and foremost. She treats her son like her man. She can’t get a man because she treats Scrappy like her boyfriend and it’s sad. If Momma Dee can learn to love Jesus then she can get a man and maybe she’ll be happy with herself. The crazy thing is she wasn’t like this before. Me and Momma Dee used to party and hang out, now she acts like she hates me. I don’t understand her and I don’t really care. She needs to find God or something. Erica ain’t done yet! Hit the flip to see what she has to say about Shay as well as if her and Scrappy will ever reunite and get married…
