NEW CANADIAN MUSIC: Erik Flowchild - Monogamy [Official Video]

First of all, this homie has it all together for MsKemi's eyez! Abs from another dimension, he's paid his dues at the gym and a tattoo showing his heartbeat plus he's already from the chocolate tribe. (Light skin homies NOT allowed on Mondays on HipHossip!) Can anyone else get more creative here? Flowchild has!

Eric Flowchild does this slow hip-hop track mixed with an R&B ballad which I just love. The "Tell me that the pussy is mine" was well sampled into the lady's mouth. Simple, easy going video with smooth flowing lyrics. The lady in the video is so hot, she should be one of our HipHossip HOTTIES of the day! Lemme tell you, those fishes in the aquarium tank had quite a show and so did I.
Bring back some good music videos LIKE THIS pls!!--MsKemi @HipHossip

DRAKE'S "TAKE CARE" VIDEO GETS A 7/10.

Too plain, great cinematography, looks like the continuation of "What's my name " by Rihanna. No big deal Drake. You know I love ya. Why was Rihanna picked for the role is another perplexing question?--MsKemi @HipHossip

MARCH 2012 RECAP:HUNG OUT WITH L'IL JZ, TORONTO'S SPECIAL RAP PHENOMENOM.

I said "Special Rap Phenomenom" because he is one. This young man was born with a speech impediment called stuttering. Most of us know how this affects those that suffer from it. My mother and brother in law suffer from it badly and it is when they are angry it really sets in. Pls read more about this. 

The only difference with L'il JZ is that when music is added to the mix, he responds to the rap tune and his speech is completely CLEAR in a freestyle form. I first noticed this boy on CTV National news and I had to connect. Jake has been my pal since then. Remember my story of him crashing Tyga's backstage Toronto concert and convincing a bodyguard that he just wanted to rap for Drake. 

I spent the day with Jake at Drake and P.Reign's fundraiser for the kids on St Patrick's Day near my home. Jake even rapped for me. These younger rappers are stepping up their game faster than lighting. Check out some of those pics below.

KEEP WEEZY AWAY FROM DRAKE'S BAR MITZVAH'S!

   

I don't know what to say here. Even Ms Sandy will be shocked. Aight, Drake's mom already told KJ that you have to have a "cool mom" to be in hip-hop so I guess nobody's gonna be bytchng about religion here. This Hyfr video show Drizzy in the boy days during his bar mitzvah, then he gets re-barmitzved and guess who we found in the Jewish temple. SMH...L'il Wayne, Baby, DJ Khaled and more. The video was directed by none other that Canada's finest Director X. 
Speaking of BarMitzvah's, I was invited to one special boy's Bar Mitzvah later this month. He is the latest young extremely talented rapper 12-year-old L'il JZ. This kid is phenomenal. Next story...MsKemi @HipHossip

STYLES P ALREADY WARNING CANADIAN GOONS NOT TO MESS UP HIS TOUR!

Do you blame the realest of them all? Styles P must have heard of all the wannabe gangstas who feel that rap always mixes with GUNS. Didn't I say this when I took out the gangsterism shyt on Cam'ron three years ago? 

Styles P tweets "Canada canada canada don't shoot nothing up when we get there." He's due here to perform May 10th 2012 in Toronto at the venue most known for shootings inside and outside! The Guvernment club. GOOD LUCK! Y'all better let Toronto Police's 51 Division cops know your plans! 

There has been 5 shootings to date at that location, including a homicide with police roping up yellow tape around the murder scene and the party continuing on the other side of the club. The owner of that club has since sold it to someone else since that episode. SMH on all this gunplay.

Last shooting over there was in the fall of 2011 outside French Montana's concert. These Canadian rap fans are so lame and exhibit wannabe behavior when rappers from the US hits town. They show up with GUNS and shyt! At 47, concerts are not even my thing now. Long as the label hooks up my interview at the hotel, I worry about my young Torontonians. My kids fortunately are not rap fans and KJ is too young for some of these gigs--MsKemi @HipHossip on Twitter

NOT AGAIN: YOUNG JEEZY'S CONCERT MARRED WITH A DOUBLE SHOOTING LAST NITE IN LONDON, ONTARIO. MONTREAL SHOW TONITE YANKED!

The Montreal show tonite is already CANCELLED! 

Young Jeezy's Canadian tour has been marred with SHOOTINGS and being shut down by police from city to city! First Calgary, then Toronto and now London.

After the Toronto concert was cancelled on Thursday nite, I noticed on Facebook that disappointed fans were flocking to Jeezy's concert in London, Ontario. London is a small nice city close to Toronto and has a lot of urban music loving residents. Many people in London are WHITE and white hip-hop fans want nothing but to enjoy their music.

Another city in Canada like that is Kingston, Ontario which I lived for a year. However, London is also currently hosting a huge murder trial  for a young girl named Tori Stafford so media is cluttered over there as it is and police try to maintain order. On St Patrick's day, the city had a big outbreak of violence when several young ppl on a drinking binge and spree went nuts and burned down 17 police cruisers and a CTV news van.After all that, I felt that I had to do some snitch warnings and I called PC Rivers at London Police Media Relations to tell him there was a shooting at the Toronto Jeezy venue and I wanted the artists and the concert goers PROTECTED.

We spoke for a good 40 mins and the cops had it together ready for the nite, but to my shock another bunch of hoodlooms came out there with guns.

People inside the London Music Hall started running when shots rang out during the opening act of the Young Jeezy show in London Thursday night. “We were just running away, trying to get safe,” said one man, who travelled from Toronto to London for the concert. “I saw people running away. We went outside and we couldn’t leave right away, we had to answer a few (police) questions first.” The man, who would not give his name, said the shooting happened at the back of the club during the opening act.

He was back at the scene early Friday, dropping off a friend, who was picking up his car from a city parking lot that was surrounded by yellow police tape. More than 10 cruisers filled the Queens Ave. parking lot Thursday night about 11:30 p.m. when officers responded to a shooting inside the 600-seat venue in downtown London, which had been sold out for the show.

London police Friday revealed two men had been shot after a fight broke out inside the club. One of the men was treated at a Toronto hospital for a superficial gunshot wound. He has since been released.
Middlesex London EMS said one person was taken to hospital from the scene. That man is in serious, but stable condition, and police said his wounds are not considered life threatening.

London police are looking into whether the shooting Thursday night is linked to another shooting at a Young Jeezy show in Toronto earlier that day. “We have no suggestion that it is, but that’s something that’s being considered as part of this,” said Const. Anthea Fordyce. Police don’t have anyone in custody, nor do they have a description of the shooter, she said.

Police swarmed the club about midnight, taking names of people who were trying to leave, said a man who lives in the area. He said officers searched the area “pretty thoroughly” Thursday night.

Uniformed officers continued the search early Friday, checking in dumpsters and recycling bins in back alleys, as well as bushes around buildings in the area. Officers also scoured two nearby parking lots, looking for clues in the shooting. Investigators are interviewing witnesses and combing through surveillance cameras — both inside the club and city cameras on the street — as they continue to search for clues.

There is nobody in custody yet. If you have any info, pls call 1800222TIPS and snitch them in--MsKemi @HipHossip

SHOOTING AT YOUNG JEEZY'S TORONTO CONCERT LEAVES MAN IN SERIOUS CONDITION AND GIG CANCELLED!

Above is a 2004 picture of me and Jeezy while I was the Editor of ATLcelebritynews.com, my former popular blog now turn HipHossip. I met Jeezy at lots of concert venues selling CD's from the car trunk in Atlanta.  Here at this one was Hot 1079 Summer Jam, he wanted to take a pic with me. I was the celeb. Now he is widely famous and Torontonians packing guns had to mess his first concert up!

Toronto Police are investigating a shooting early Thursday at a concert by American rapper Young Jeezy.
Shots rang out at the Sound Academy around 12:30 a.m. sending hundreds of people fleeing from the 11 Polson St. nightclub.

The male victim went to St. Michael's Hospital with multiple gunshot wounds and was in serious condition.
There was no word on suspects.

Young Jeezy, who hadn't yet taken the stage, later tweeted, "Backstage @ Sound Academy in Toronto! Police closed venue and cancelled the greatest show!!! I will be back! Next stop London, Ontario!"

Toronto Police's 51 Division's response to this shooting was POOR. I am waiting for a call back from the Suprintendent John Tanouye, Deputy Chief Peter Sloly and even Corporate communications. Several parents were tweeting and Facebooking me trying to find out what was going on with their concert going kids and all I got was an arrogant set of cops at 51 Division scrambling to find out what was going on themselves and not letting any immediate info about safety out.  They were doing things THE OLD FASHION way when everything was unfolding on twitter before everyone's eyes. 

I am a Toronto Police Community volunteer in my area and a Crime Victim Advocate among other things, and till the connection between the community and cops is improved, we collectively cannot stop this problem of firearms being packed into concerts. It's happening in the USA, Nipsey Hussle, Tyga and Honey Cocaine and even French Montana's concert in Toronto has shooting outside the club and now Young Jeezy. 

There are no suspects in custody, one man is in serious condition at a trauma hospital. I will update you on his condition. It is reported that 4 shots were fired INSIDE the venue. The Sound Academy has been the concert venue for so many big shows here.---MsKemi @HipHossip @Snitchlady @MyYoungToronto

Anyone with info about the suspect should call 416-808-5100 and ask for Detective Hintzner at 51 Division

OUR OWN SOLIDARITY FOR TRAYVON: NOT ALWAYS ABOUT THE RACE CARD.

#TORONTO4TRAYVON MARCH WAS HELD IN FRONT OF TORONTO CITY HALL ON SATURDAY MARCH 31ST 2012 AT 7pm

I organized this rally with another black community leader and former Mayoral candidate in Toronto Dewitt Lee. The Miami Herald reported  "In Canada, members of Occupy Toronto and others have promised to gather in front of Toronto City Hall at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, holding glow sticks as they march to the U.S. Embassy. The rally is aimed at “giving the Martin family support and solidarity, as well as repealing vigilante laws,” said Co-organizer Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo.

‘THIS IS HISTORY’
 “We don’t know the family, and they don’t know us. But they need to know that Canada is here for them,’’ Omololu-Olunloyo said. “This is way passed hoodies, Skittles and iced tea. It’s history. We don’t want another Trayvon waiting in the wings.”

We had the rally with hundreds showing up and we kept the light on for Trayvon during Earth Hour in front of the US Embassy in Toronto. The local media followed us thruout the whole event. During the week, I did interviews with GlobalTV, Newstalk 1010 CFRB's John Moore and Randy Doyle's show (which got fiery) as Doyle says we blacks don't rally when our kids die right here in Toronto. There are several marches yearly but I work as a volunteer advocate getting families to speak out.

BEYONCE AND JAY-Z CELEBRATE 4TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

Happy 4th anniversary to Beyonce and Jay-Z. It was April 4th 2008 while at the SWV concert here in Toronto that Yeezy sneaked us a text that the nupitals were in full mode. Even Rihanna did not know. Jay's blog Life and Times reads "The image above is one of many that will appear on Beyonce Knowles-Carter’s newTumblr page where she will share intimate pictures of herself and husband Jay-Z to celebrate four years of marriage. The couple tied the knot back on April 4, 2008 in a private ceremony. The tumblr should be revealed in its entirety sometime today."

 So how did I get the Bey password? Don't ask. Congrats to them!
