The Sapeurs
There are men/boys part of a subculture devoted to stylish dressing in Congo. The Sapeurs, as they call themselves, is derived from SAPE, an acronym for the movement itself, (Société des Ambianceurs et Persons Élégants). The word sape, perhaps not accidentally, also means “to dress with elegance and style” in French.

THE-DREAM’S ‘LOVE KING’ SET FOR JUNE
June is shaping up to be one exciting month for music fans. New albums from Drake, Game, Eminem, Diddy, and M.I.A. are just some of the projects on the release schedule, and now The-Dream is joining the summer lineup.
The R&B singer-songwriter’s third album Love King is set to drop on June 22, Rap-Up.com has learned. The first single of the same name has already hit airwaves with two more to follow, “F.I.L.A.” (Fall In Love Again)” and “Sex Intelligent,” both featuring T.I.
Just last week, Eminem announced that he will release Recovery, the follow-up to last year’s best-selling rap album Relapse, on June 22. Diddy’s Last Train to Paris also pulls into stores the same day.
DRAKE REVEALS BACK-UP PLAN
Drake shouldn’t have to worry about a back-up plan, but if he should ever decide to leave the rap game, he already has a plan B.
The 23-year-old Canadian, who picked up two trophies at last weekend’s JUNO Awards, is taking his time to ensure that his debut album Thank Me Later solidifies his hip-hop career. “I think that between myself and Lil Wayne, we make timeless music so I know that it will last for a while,” he told The Vancouver Observer.
But before he became known for his rapping, the Young Money star got his first break acting as Jimmy Brooks on The N’s “Degrassi: The Next Generation” and plans to return to his craft at some point. “When the time is right, I’ll definitely go back to acting,” he said. “It’s a passion of mine.”
Body Language
BODY LANGUAGE
• A person who is lying to you will avoid making eye contact.
• Hands touching their face, throat & mouth. Touching or scratching the nose or behind their ear. Not likely to touch his chest/heart with an open hand.
EMOTIONAL GESTURES...
• The display of emotion is delayed, stays longer it would naturally, then stops suddenly.
• Timing is off between emotions gestures/expressions and words. Example: Someone says "I love it!" when receiving a gift, and then smile after making that statement, rather then at the same time the statement is made.
• Gestures/expressions don’t match the verbal statement, such as frowning when saying “I love you.” • Expressions are limited to mouth movements when someone is faking emotions (like happy, surprised, sad, awe, )instead of the whole face. For example; when someone smiles naturally their whole face is involved: jaw/cheek movement, eyes and forehead push down, etc.
INTERACTION AND REACTIONS
• A guilty person gets defensive. An innocent person will often go on the offensive.
• A liar is uncomfortable facing his questioner/accuser and may turn his head or body away.
VERBAL CONTEXT AND CONTENT
• A liar will use your words to make answer a question. When asked, “Did you eat the last cookie?” The liar answers, “No, I did not eat the last cookie.”
•A statement with a contraction is more likely to be truthful: “ I didn't do it” instead of “I did not do it” • Liars sometimes avoid "lying" by not making direct statements. They imply answers instead of denying something directly.
• The guilty person may speak more than natural, adding unnecessary details to convince you... they are not comfortable with silence or pauses in the conversation.
• A liar may leave out pronouns and speak in a monotonous tone. When a truthful statement is made the pronoun is emphasized as much or more than the rest of the words in a statement.
• Words may be garbled and spoken softly, and syntax and grammar may be off. In other words, his sentences will likely be muddled rather than emphasized.
BODY LANGUAGE
• If you believe someone is lying, then change subject of a conversation quickly, a liar follows along willingly and becomes more relaxed. The guilty wants the subject changed; an innocent person may be confused by the sudden change in topics and will want to back to the previous subject.
• Using humor or sarcasm to avoid a subject.
• A person who is lying to you will avoid making eye contact.
• Hands touching their face, throat & mouth. Touching or scratching the nose or behind their ear. Not likely to touch his chest/heart with an open hand.

Make sure to tune in every week, brand new music put us anywhere on gods green earth we grind there!
DRAKE REVEALS ALBUM DETAILS, NEW COLLABORATIONS IN USTREAM SESSION
Drake checked in with his fans in his first Ustream session on Wednesday night (April 14). Over 20,000 people tuned in at one point to hear the rapper answer questions from his location on T-Pain’s studio bus in Michigan.
Among the highlights: Thank Me Later will be more rap than R&B, Lil Wayne and Jay-Z are confirmed features, there will be 15 or 16 tracks, Kanye Westproduced his second single “Find Your Love,” he listened to a lot of Nas while recording his debut, and he plans to release a freestyle called “Free Weezy.”
In between sips of white wine, Drizzy also disclosed that he was recently in the studio with T.I. (“I had a good session with T.I.”) and hopes to be featured on Kanye’s new album. “I don’t know if I’m excited or scared—both. He’s phenomenal,” he said of ’Ye’s highly-anticipated project.
Lil Wayne "single"
Lil Wayne is a heartbreaker in the video for “I’m Single,” which opens backstage at Jay-Z’s Madison Square Garden show the week before he was incarcerated. Weezy’s protégée Nicki Minaj asks Lil Tunechi whether he has a wife to comfort him in his time of need, but he maintains his single status. The song is from the No Ceilings mixtape and is just one of the many videos he shot before heading to Rikers Island.
Jay-z live at coachella 2010
Although Jay-Z’s duet with Beyoncé on “Young Forever” was the talk around town, there was much more to his nearly two-hour set at Coachella, where he made history by becoming the first solo rap artist to headline the festival.
In a nod to Glastonbury, the CEO of the Roc rocked out to Oasis’ “Wonderwall.” He brought the concrete jungle to the desert with “Empire State of Mind” featuring Roc Nation’s rising star Bridget Kelly. And just when he began to lose his voice, he hit festival-goers with his Panjabi MC collabo “Beware of the Boys” and a rock remix of “Heart of the City (Ain’t No Love).”
T.i Gets His Wings Back!
fter serving seven months behind bars and three months in a halfway house, T.I. touched down in New York for the first time since he was incarcerated. The King of the South was gracious to TMZ’s cameras when they caught up with him at the airport with girlfriend Tiny in tow.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Tip compared his new album King Uncaged to Tupac’s 1996 classic All Eyez on Me, which was released months after Pac got out of prison. “This is the most significant return from incarceration that the game has had since then,” he said.
Drake and Justing beiber Live..
Justin Bieber bought out Drake to fill in for Ludacris at the Juno Awards to perform the remix to his smash hit “Baby”
iphone 4g preview
What’s new…
• Front-facing video chat camera
• Improved regular back-camera (the lens is quite noticeably larger than the iPhone 3GS)
• Camera flash
• Micro-SIM instead of standard SIM (like the iPad)
• Improved display. It’s unclear if it’s the 960×640 display thrown around before—it certainly looks like it, with the “Connect to iTunes” screen displaying much higher resolution than on a 3GS.
• What looks to be a secondary mic for noise cancellation, at the top, next to the headphone jack
• Split buttons for volume
• Power, mute, and volume buttons are all metallic
What’s changed…
• The back is entirely flat, made of either glass (more likely) or ceramic or shiny plastic in order for the cell signal to poke through. Tapping on the back makes a more hollow and higher pitched sound compared to tapping on the glass on the front/screen, but that could just be the orientation of components inside making for a different sound
• An aluminum border going completely around the outside
• Slightly smaller screen than the 3GS (but seemingly higher resolution)
• Everything is more squared off
• 3 grams heavier
• 16% Larger battery
• Internals components are shrunken, miniaturized and reduced to make room for the larger battery

TRIGGA Trey Songz "OVER"
Trey Songz rips Drakes joint "Over". He singing on the chorus & goes in when he starts rapping on the verses. I think what makes this so hard is that he's keeping it real. He brings us back to when he wasn't anything. Songz really has been grinding fro years with 3 albums in the game & plenty of fans now he's bound to be one of the great in R&B in a couple of years. With all these freestyles he's really anticipating the next album. I don't have any info on that yet but probably soon. Take a listen & comment.

Pepsi x G-Shock x Zero Halliburton “Time Traveler Pack”
Pepsi has collaborated with G-Shock and Zero Halliburton to create the “Time Traveler Pack,” a limited-edition run of G-Shock DW-6900 CC watches and Zero Halliburton polycarbonate rollers, gifted exclusively to creative impresarios—who travel the world in pursuit of dreams, and who always need to be on time. The watch is adorned with the new Pepsi logo and encased in an aluminum case, whereas the rollers are emblazoned with three statements of positivity: “Optimism,” “Joy,” and “Good.” This collaborative pack comes on the heels of Pepsi’s recent collaborations with Gourmet and Dee and Ricky, and was also facilitated by Team Epiphany in the spirit of Pepsi’s recently-launched “Refresh Project”. The initial delivery of this pack was seeded to a short list of artists, journalists, and musicians; a retail release for these goods will be announced in the short future.

Drake Fireworks (Live)
Tonight at Slippery Rock University, Drake performed the first track off "Thank Me Later", which has now been pushed back to June 15th
Lil Wayne Writes blog from Jail
heres a letter from lil wayne on his blog:
Love. Live. Life. Proceed. Progress. That’s who I am and who I’ll always be. You see, we’re all living on borrowed time, so I’m not worried about this situation. Life happens quick. The more time you spend contemplating what you should have done…you lose valuable time planning what you can and will do. Trying to tear down the past prohibits you from building up your future. So for my time here, my physical will be confined to the yard. My love and my spirit, however, know no boundaries.
I’m in good spirits man, for real. My kids race through my mind all day. They know they were created with love, so love is how their life will be defined. I just hope my love and adoration for them provides a temporary bandage on a wound I unknowingly inflicted on them.
Real soon, you can catch me blogging for ESPN again thank you espn for not letting my passion for sports perish. I work out a lot because it helps pass the time. I read the Bible everyday. Jail didn’t make me find God, He’s always been there. They can lock me up, but my spirit and my love can never be confined to prison walls.
But this isn’t all about me, you are the reason for this letter. It’s because of you Rebirth went gold when critics aborted it. It’s because of you Young Money is and will always be a movement. If the weight of the world is on your shoulders, I beg of you, place it on mine. That’s the least I could do for you, after all you have sacrificed for me. If I could, I’d write each one of you back. Because of this, my team and I have created a website where you can view my letters. Each week I’ll answer as many questions as I possibly can.
