Bronx rapper Drag-On was a key part of the Ruff Ryders rap dynasty in the late Nineties and early 2000s, making many memorable appearances alongside DMX , the Lox, and Eve. As fans around the world mourned DMX after his death at age 50 , Drag-On called to share his memories of the late MC. When I first met DMX, I was 17. I was pretty much homeless at the time. They brought me down to the Power House studio in Yonkers to meet a rapper. I didn’t know it was going to be him. Back at that time, it was the battle era — all that SMACK DVD stuff came from us. He was there at the studio, and they told me to rap, and they told him to rap. Next thing I knew, it turned into a battle. Of course, I lost the battle. But he respected me, because I kept coming at him. X used to battle, like, 10 people by himself, and literally make them stop one by one.

Demi Lovato performed her single “Dancing With the Devil” and delivered some “One Word Songs” during a visit to the Tonight Show Friday. Lovato also sat down with Fallon via video to talk about her new album Dancing With the Devil… The Art of Starting Over , collaborating with Ariana Grande and her YouTube docuseries . “It was very challenging because everything I went through in that storytelling journey in making the documentary was difficult, and I had to work through a lot of those things before I actually told the story on camera,” Lovato said, “but I’ve been working on myself and putting in a lot of work behind the scenes so that when it was time to put it on camera, I felt completely secure in telling my story.” The singer added, “It’s been really cathartic, really really therapeutic, and I’m just hoping that a lot of people can learn from what I went through and also create conversation around those topics.” Lovato and Fallon then lightened the mood with … [Read more...] about See Demi Lovato Perform ‘Dancing With the Devil,’ Play ‘One Word Songs’ on ‘Fallon’

As expected, diversity (or the lack thereof) was the hot-button topic at tonight’s BAFTA Awards . Joaquin Phoenix , picking up his Best Actor prize for Joker , made a particularly poignant speech on the topic. “I feel conflicted because so many of my fellow actors that are deserving don’t have that same privilege. I think that we send a very clear message to people of color that you’re not welcome here,” he said onstage at the Royal Albert Hall. “I think that’s the message that we’re sending to people that have contributed so much to our medium and our industry, and in ways that we benefit from.” “I don’t think anybody wants a handout or preferential treatment, although that’s what we give ourselves every year. I think people just want to be acknowledged, appreciated and respected for their work. This is not a self-righteous condemnation because I’m ashamed to say that I’m part of the problem,” Phoenix continued.
