VIDEO: WILLOW SMITH INTERVIEW W/ MTV NEWS

Willow Smith sat down with MTV News on Tuesday (October 19) and shared a bit about her experience thus far as a singer. She talked about the first time she hung out with Jay-Z, her musical inspirations, and showed us the right way to whip your hair. The 9-year old also discussed commitment, procrastination and what it really means to whip your hair:

On what “Whip My Hair” means:
“Don’t be afraid to be yourself. And don’t let anybody tell you that that’s wrong because the best thing is you.”

One thing in her closet that she can’t live without:
“I can’t live without my shoes. There’s one pair I can’t live without. They’re high-tops and they have checkers on the bottom and they’re like yellow and pink and white and they’re so tight.”

On how she felt the day of the video shoot:
“It was a long day most of the time. It was hard sometimes. But if you have a commitment to that, you have to stick with it. It’s not because I have to, it’s because I want it. Most people if they don’t want it, they’ll just be like, ‘Oh, well I can do that tomorrow. Is that what they call procrastinating?”

Gotta love Willow.

MAG COVER/SCANS: SOULJA BOY & 50 CENT COVER XXL + VIDEO

Rappers 50 Cent and Soulja Boy are featured on the cover of the November issue of XXL Magazine. Both artists revealed their admiration for each other and shared what they have in common:

“Being black with money, from the ‘hood, struggles and coming from nothing to something, of course you’re going to share the common struggles,” the young MC said. “You going to have people hate. You going to have people that change on you, and all that. So of course, watching 50, and him going through what he did — if there wasn’t no 50 Cent, there would be no Soulja Boy.”

About the drug allegations:
“I’m still learning,” Soulja Boy said. “I’ve been through a lot this year, and it’s nothing I expected. I just wanna rap, and I wake up and have some sh– on me, out the blue, every single day. But, really, all it does is feed my ego.”
