As she riffs in this seven minute vid, the 2011 AMA co-host sports blonde dreadlocks and speaks in a raspy voice with an incredibly subdued demeanor a la the Young Money head honcho. We don't know how the Harajuku Barbie did this in one take without breaking character or completely cracking up. Jump below to watch the Pink Friday raptress as she flexes her comedic chops.

Tupac Shakur would have turned 38 earlier this week, and to celebrate, let’s look at eHow’s super-straight-faced “How To Write Songs Like Tupac”! I think my favorite step might very well be the last one, in which possible heirs to his throne are encouraged to practice their powers of prognostication: “Step 6: Write prophetic lyrics. Albums such as The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory include songs that seemed to foreshadow Tupac’s untimely death, and have also encouraged the conspiracy theory that he is in fact alive and well.” Er, so perhaps I should amend that first sentence to “Tupac Shakur may have turned 38 earlier this week…” [eHow] More »
Is Tupac Alive?
Wed Apr 29 2009 by Maura
Or is TMZ just using some out-of-focus, badly aimed pictures of an African-American male with a nose ring and some facial hair to gin up flatlining traffic? The fact that these photos are presented to the reader in the always-pageview-inflating gallery format would lead me to believe the latter, but I’m something of a skeptic. [TMZ] More »

And you thought he was only good at releasing albums after death. Judging by the exterior of this stand in a mall outside Jakarta, Indonesia, he’s also proved himself quite skillful at selling goat’s feet–a local delicacy–to starved shoppers. More »
“LA Times” Finally Retracts Latest “Diddy Knew!” Tupac Expose
Mon Apr 7 2008 by anthonyjmiccio
The Los Angeles Times has retracted its controversial March 17 story “An Attack on Tupac Shakur Launched a Hip-Hop War,” which claimed that Sean “Diddy” Combs was aware that Shakur would be attacked in late November 1994, and that the attack was orchestrated by associates of the Bad Boy CEO. The paper acknowledged that it had been hoaxed by its “confidential sources” immediately following a March 27 debunking of the story on The Smoking Gun, but only today did it announce a full retraction of the original article, written by longtime Diddy conspiracy theorist Chuck Phillips.
Ray J: Despite Blunted Adolescence With Biggie, Pac, He’s Not A “Disrespectful Pedophile”
Mon Apr 7 2008 by anthonyjmiccio
Ray J, the 27-year-old brother of Brandy celebrating his first top ten hit, “Sexy Can I (feat. Yung Berg),” wants you to know that despite the attention he’s received for knocking boots with Whitney Houston and Kim Kardashian, he (somehow) still loves women. “A lot of people think of me as being an attention whore or a slut. And I’m not really that. I love being in front of the camera and entertaining. But I do respect women. I’m not disrespectful to anybody that I’m cool with. I just want people to know that I’m not a disrespectful pedophile.” Earlier in the same interview, J described the love and chronic Biggie and Tupac showed the then-underage singer immediately before their respective murders.
