JUSTIN BIEBER COMPLEX BEATDOWN

HAPPY BIEBER JUSTIN BIRTHDAY! Justin Bieber recently turned legal on March 1, so what better way to celebrate coming into manhood than getting beat up like one? Featured on the cover of Complex Magazine's April issue is Mr. Baby himself, Justin Bieber.

With a promo like "That's right, the world's biggest pop star is 18 now, and he's through being your punching bag...", it has me wondering what that quote exactly means. Yes, Justin Bieber has worked hard to get to where he is today, yes he has tons of talent, and yes he will continue being successful, but being people's punching bag? Is it about his so-called "lesbian" look he had with the side swept bangs early in his career? Or his Jesus tat? [I'm still on the wall with that]

Whatever it is, the concept that seemed to suit Bieber's transition into adulthood is to get beaten the pulp out of, then come back and take victory. The video below explains it all...

Justin Bieber's Bloodiest Photo Shoot -- COMPLEX MAGAZINE

Wow, I think this is about the bloodiest photo shoot that I've seen of anyone in any magazine yet. Way to kick off COMPLEX MAGAZINE's 10th anniversary!

Check out Justin Bieber's photo shoot for them, he's dressed somewhat like a referee, with a bowtie, bloodied white shirt, black khakis, and Supra hightops. Justin is actually the son of a former MMA fighter, so I think it goes with the territory.

Cool concept!

Excerpt From COMPLEX Magazine: A Complete Guide To The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air's Sneakers

Check out this EXCERPT of COMPLEX MAGAZINE's Guide of all sneakers that Will Smith (FRESH PRINCE) wore throughout the tenure of the show. Very interesting, engaging, nostalgic article:

Air Jordan V Black/Black-Metallic Silver

Episode: #1 'The Fresh Prince Project', #2 'Bang The Drum, Ashley', #17 'The Ethnic Tip', #23 '72 Hours', & #37 'Something for Nothing'

Year (of Sneaker): 1990

From the very first moment Will pops up in the intro of the show, he dons a pair of black Vs. Throughout the first season it was obvious that William Smith/Williard Smith (his name on the show/real life) is a huge fan of Js including the nearly murdered-out numero cincos.

Nike Quantum Force

Episode: #6 'Mistaken Identity', #11 'Courting Disaster', #14 'Day Damn One', #18 'Young and the Restless', #25 'Working it Out', & #99 'The Philadelphia Story'

Year (of Sneaker): 1990

Stand out red joints like that? The Quantum Forces were a staple in the first season — seeing Will get arrested for racial issues, take over as captain of Bel-Air's basketball squad, scare the hell out of his little cousin Ashley, and catch the eye of Queen Latifah.

Nike Air Sonic Flight

Episode: #56 'Here Comes The Judge' & #60 'A Funny Thing Happened On The Way Home From The Forum'

Year (of Sneaker): 1992

In '92 Nike switched up the Flight logo and started dropping the top on its kicks and going with mid releases more and more. A man of times, Will started donning the mids more versus the chunky high-tops which were a staple in his footwear collection throughout the first two season.

BEYONCE ON COMPLEX MAGAZINE

Beyonce is featured on the cover of Complex Magazine for the August/September issue just in time to celebrate her BIG 3-0! She gets personal with not only her year off of work entirely where she got to "be normal" Beyonce Knowles and not BEYONCE.

In regards to her hubby Jay-Z of three years and his musical genius: “Jay’s music is more than music. His lyrics have fathered generations. All that he has overcome gives millions so much hope. There are moments when I see his lips moving and I can see lyrics floating above his head and I think, ‘Wow! How did I get so lucky to be able to witness this level of genius so closely?’”

In regards to the hard moments in life: "Whenever I feel bad, I use that feeling to motivate me to work harder. I only allow myself one day to feel sorry for myself. People who complain really get on my nerves. When I’m not feeling my best I ask myself, ‘What are you gonna do about it?’ I use the negativity to fuel the transformation into a better me.”

On her "rival" Rihanna and all those other ladies in music out there WHICH SEPARATES HER FROM THE REST: “There is room on this earth for many queens. I have an authentic, God-given talent, drive, and longevity that will always separate me from everyone else. I’ve been fortunate to accomplish things that the younger generation of queens dream of accomplishing. I have no desire for anyone else’s throne. I am very comfortable in the throne I’ve been building for the past 15 years.”


DANG BEYONCE, YOU SITTING HIGH AND COMFORTABLY RIGHT?! GO ON AND RUN THE WORLD THEN GIRL!
