Russell Simmons Writes Heartfelt Message On Chris Brown

"On Tuesday night, I sat with Chris Brown, one of the greatest performing artists of his time, during his celebration dinner for the release of his new album, 'F.A.M.E.' I know that this young man's dancing, singing and art are his prayers. Without them, he's left to deal with a cluttered world in a way that is far too complicated than he imagined when he was a 13-year-old kid with a dream of being famous. I am troubled by the people, critics and members of the media who drag Chris away from his art. His freedom is deeply rooted in his artistic expression. It is during those seconds of stillness when you're dancing that the Christ/Buddha/Allah/Moses inside of you is awakened and comes to power. This is the freedom Chris knew as a child, but as he rose to fame, finding freedom became a lot more complicated. Coming back home is a very difficult thing. Coming back to being normal, coming back to that pure place of artistry. But, when fame snatches your freedom, the ability to control your own life becomes much more difficult."

Bill Cosby To Russell Simmons: "Get The [bleep] Out Of My Face"


FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!

Via The New York Post:
Bill Cosby told Russell Simmons to "get the [bleep] out of my face" at the Jackie Robinson Annual Awards Dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria when Simmons tried to apologize for their ongoing beef. The two have been sparring since 2009, when Cosby launched his "State of Emergency" campaign promoting socially conscious rap music without lyrics celebrating violence, sex or the degradation of women. At the time, Simmons heavily criticized the effort, but tried to make amends with Cosby at the dinner on March 7. "I wanted to find him to apologize, to tell him I was sorry about my statements and to tell him that I loved him," the rap mogul now writes on his blog, Globalgrind.com. But instead, according to Simmons, Cosby said, "Get the [bleep] out my face!" Simmons also writes that Cosby "walked by me and bumped me with his shoulder as I walked offstage after presenting my award to Sean [Combs, who was honored at the event] . . . I then loved him even more." Through a rep, Cosby responded to Page Six, "I don't want to discuss it."
Bill Cosby = GANGSTA! Please respect it.....
