Dave Chappelle - Getting Booed, TMZ & Media, Living In Ohio
There were reports that hecklers had gotten the best of the comedian, causing him to simply shut his act down, refusing to tell any jokes.
For the first time Dave is speaking out publicly about the incident and why things went so awry.
"Ok look this happened to me twice in my career," Dave said. "The one you read about in Florida. The other time it actually happened in Oakland. This happened years ago -- I was doing a show with Cedric The Entertainer. I thought the show was going good. And someone kept screaming 'shut the f*ck up' from the back of the room. Then finally I said 'hey I only got 10 more minutes. If that's what you want I'm here for you and that's the show you will get.' And I actually laid down on stage and didn't say a word. First the crowd was confused. Then they started booing But the longer I sat there it became like a standing ovation."
Dave goes on to try and explain what happened in Miami in July.
"Ok in Florida I don't know what happened," he joked. "I'm just kidding -- someone said I melted down or had a nervous breakdown, I wasn't nervous at all. The thing is it was an Indian casino and I felt like they were trying to get a reverse Kramer shot on me. First of all when I come out on stage everybody pulls their cameras out, which is cool for like the first few minutes. Then the whole front row started heckling me and apparently they were the Seminole Indians whose casino it was. So security didn't want to tell them to be quiet. And you can imagine trying to talk to someone. And they're talking while you're talking and holding a camera.

Jay-Z and Kanye West-OTIS
All hail king “Otis.” Jay-Z and Kanye West get the adrenaline pumping in the video for the Otis Redding-sampled single from their hot-selling album Watch the Throne, which is expected to move over 500,000 copies in its first week.
Directed by Spike Jonze (Where the Wild Things Are), the feel-good visuals show a lesser-seen side of the hip-hop heavyweights, laughing and having a blast as they chop up a Maybach (don’t worry, they’re donating proceeds to charity), set off fireworks, and go for a joy ride with some fine females. Comedian Aziz Ansari even joins the fun.

‘WATCH THE THRONE’ FIRST-WEEK SALES PREDICTIONS
Jay-Z and Kanye West are on their way to conquering the charts. The rap kings’ monumental album Watch the Throne is shaping up to have a blockbuster week.
The album only hit iTunes today, but early estimates are already in. In less than 24 hours, Throne has hit No. 1 on iTunes in over 20 countries. The album, which avoided leaking in advance, is on track to sell at least 400,000 to 500,000 copies in its first week in the U.S., according to Billboard.
Based on these figures, that would give Jay and Kanye the second-largest sales week of the year, behind Lady Gaga’s Born This Way, which opened with 1.1 million units.
Watch the Throne is available exclusively at iTunes until Friday, when it expands to other digital retailers and physical stores. Best Buy will carry the deluxe version exclusively from August 12-22.
Official first-week sales will be released on Wednesday, August 17.

6 Ingredients To Lasting Relationships
Throughout your life you will develop hundreds of relationships, from the important ones, to the ones that won’t quite matter as much. The very first relationships in our lives are the most important ones, because from there we learn to trust and receive love. Some of people had parents or guardians that were affectionate and taught them morals, values and principles that make us the adults who we are today. But since everyone doesn’t have the same foundation, many adults have short-comings and do not understand how relationships should work.
We normally are not unaware that our actions and thoughts are a reflection of our views about relationships in general. Eventually the vicious cycle of the behavior has been broken down here are some proper ingredients to healthy relationships.
6 keys to a good relationship:
1. Friendship
2. Respect
3. Honesty
4. Trust
5. Understanding
6. Communication
As adults, we can no longer blame our upbringing or past on why we are the way we are, or why we only relate to certain types of people and situations. We are all capable of having long-lasting, meaningful relationships while we are on this journey called life.

Kelly Rowland Tops Charts
Hard work is paying off in a big way My Favorite Female artist in the business Kelly Rowland.
The singer's third studio album 'Here I Am,' has landed on top of Billboard's Top Hip-Hop/R&B chart, after moving over 75,000 units in it's opening week. Those numbers were also good enough for her to grab the # 3 spot on Billboard's Top 200.
The album's success has been fueled by her smash hit single "Motivation," which features Lil Wayne.
I think it's safe to say that she in no longer in Beyonce's shadow, and is ready to take flight
BIG BOI ARRESTED FOR DRUG POSSESSION
The jailhouse door never stops revolving for Hip Hop’s drug culture. Two weeks ago, rap artist Waka Flocka was busted in Queens, NY on drug possession charges. Then last week, emerging rap star Big Sean was arrested for an alleged sexual assault. The latest Hip Hop star to catch a federal drug charge is Big Boi, one half of the Grammy award winning duo Outkast.
Antwan “Big Boi” Patton was arrested in Miami this afternoon on drug possession charges as he exited a cruise ship.
Reportedly, passengers had complained about the sweet aroma of chronic filling the air outside the rooms of the entourage that traveled with Patton and his family. So when the cruise ship arrived back at the port of Miami, drug sniffing dogs were waiting for them.
According to published reports, Patton was charged with three felony counts of possession of Ecstasy pills, MDMA powder (the main ingredient of Ecstasy), Viagra pills, for which he did not have a prescription, and drug paraphernalia.
Patton, 36, was booked into the Pre-Trial Detention Center in Miami earlier today where he was held on $16,000 bail. He posted bail this afternoon, before tweeting, “Fresh Out Baby!
