The Army has decided to reimburse a Halliburton subsidiary for nearly all of its disputed costs on a $2.41 billion no-bid contract to deliver fuel and repair oil equipment in Iraq, even though the Pentagon’s own auditors had identified more than $250 million in charges as potentially excessive or unjustified. The Army said in response to questions on Friday that questionable business practices by the subsidiary, Kellogg Brown & Root, had in some cases driven up the company’s costs. But in the haste and peril of war, it had largely done as well as could be expected, the Army said, and aside from a few penalties, the government was compelled to reimburse the company for its costs.

George Stephanopoulos: What does civil war look like?
George Will: This. This is a civil war.
DUMB STATEMENT: FOX suggesting an “All-Out Civil War in Iraq could be a good thing“. Which civil war in the history of civilization has been a good thing. I still stand by my notion that FOX news is proganda, which is owned, controlled and operated by Right-wing Republicans. But I love 24.

Irene Khan who is the Amnesty International secretary general has praised the group for their humanitarian work, saying: “Their leadership in linking music to the struggle for human rights and human dignity worldwide has been groundbreaking and unwavering.” She added: “They have inspired and empowered millions with their music and by speaking out on behalf of the poor, the powerless and the oppressed.” The band were given the ‘Ambassador of Conscience’ award, which seeks to promote Amnesty International’s work through its ambassadors, and were also praised for their work promoting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
One of the most repulsively fascinating facts about contemporary black popular culture is how it continues to reach fresh lows. It finds new ways of leaping all fences that would bar it from falling into a bottomless pit of tastelessness. All of the insults and burdens of minstrelsy have been bested by black comedians and rappers who have made stupidity, hedonism, pimping, misogyny, pornography and violence their stock in trade.
One defense of this amoral sense of life and culture is that black people didn’t invent any of it, so why shouldn’t they, like the white people, be able to make big money from it? As one imbecilic black man in television said to me, “I ain’t hating on these brothers. All they are doing is dealing with a market the same way that the white people do. This is capitalism and they’re responding to a market. You know the old saying, ‘Whatever the market will bear.’ ” Read the rest of this entry »

Muslims everywhere aint looking too good now, ever since the Prophet Muhammad Cartoons surfaced all hell broke loose. Now I know one of the rules written is the prophet is NEVER to be drawn or represented and I understand that. In this corner… weighing in at a mighty 36 words, hailing from the King James Version of the Holy Bible, it’s the third commandment, the word of the lord, our God… It’s Exodus 20:4!!

Meanwhile in the Vatican City they have a chapel with a chip on its shoulder, a piece of art with over 8 years of painstaing work… The Sistine Chapel. Have you seen any christian run up in the chapel and try and burn it down, or ban italy products, burn the italian flag? If God can not be drawn or represented, then that picture above is Blasphemy! Movies like ‘Passion of the Christ’ and ‘Jesus of Nazareth’ should have never been made. We live in a society of ‘Jesus is my homeboy’ t-shirts, kanye even posed as Jesus for Rolling stone for crying out loud, calm your ass down. Plus We all know black people like to over do it. There have been riots and protests all around the world especially in the Middle east, islamic youths haved clased with cops, embassies have been destroyed. Northern Nigerian Muslims militants, cus that what they are, brainwashed by the protests on tv killed and burnt down churches and resulted in 66 people dead. The highest dead toll in relation to the cartoon. I remember the days my brother and I will fight over who’s watching what cartoon first.

MY DEAR FELLOW CLERGYMEN:
While confined here in the Birmingham city jail, I came across your recent statement calling my present activities “unwise and untimely.” Seldom do I pause to answer criticism of my work and ideas. If I sought to answer all the criticisms that cross my desk, my secretaries would have little time for anything other than such correspondence in the course of the day, and I would have no time for constructive work. But since I feel that you are men of genuine good will and that your criticisms are sincerely set forth, I want to try to answer your statements in what I hope will be patient and reasonable terms.

As early as 1849, Abraham Lincoln believed that slaves should be emancipated, advocating a program in which they would be freed gradually. Early in his presidency, still convinced that gradual emacipation was the best course, he tried to win over legistators. To gain support, he proposed that slaveowners be compensated for giving up their “property.” Support was not forthcoming.
In September of 1862, after the Union’s victory at Antietam, Lincoln issued a preliminary decree stating that, unless the rebellious states returned to the Union by January 1, freedom would be granted to slaves within those states. The decree also left room for a plan of compensated emancipation. No Confederate states took the offer, and on January 1 Lincoln presented the Emancipation Proclamation. The proclamation declared, “all persons held as slaves within any States, or designated part of the State, the people whereof shall be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free.”
The Emancipation Proclamation did not free all slaves in the United States. Rather, it declared free only those slaves living in states not under Union control. William Seward, Lincoln’s secretary of state, commented, “We show our symapthy with slavery by emancipating slaves where we cannot reach them and holding them in bondage where we can set them free.” Lincoln was fully aware of the irony, but he did not want to antagonize the slave states loyal to the Union by setting their slaves free.
The proclamation allowed black soldiers to fight for the Union — soldiers that were desperately needed. It also tied the issue of slavery directly to the war.

Juvenile’s new video “Get your Hustle on“, Filmed on location in New Orlean’s 9th ward the video’s eerie post-apocalyptic backdrop is significant, although in many ways the formula is nothing new. The video’s political statement seems almost softened to me by the masks/indictments of ‘leadership, the most significant footage isn’t the ‘empty promises’ symbolism but the ruins themselves.

When Kylie Hodgson gave birth to twin daughters by caesarean section, she was just relieved that they had arrived safely.

The vocal half of Grammy-nominated duo Floetry, Marsha Ambrosius, has signed a solo recording deal with hip-hop hitmaker Dr. Dre’s Aftermath Records, according to Billboard.com. The singer-songwriter says she is thrilled at the chance to work with Dre, who has only worked on a few projects in recent years. “Who wouldn’t? It’s a lifetime opportunity,” she said, adding, “It’s not like he offers to do an album with everybody.” The invitation to work with the rapper-producer came late last year, when Ambrosius and partner Natalie Stewart were performing two Floetry shows at The Roxy in Los Angeles. The audience included a number of other music makers, including Dre and Prince. Ambrosius ran into Dre later the same week, and when he played her a track she soon found herself in his studio, singing the vocal hook. The seeds for the Ambrosius solo project were own.

From AHH Rumors:
COMMON SLAPS FIRE OUT OF HECKLNG SKINHEAD?
So, my man hit me up with a rumor he heard. Last week, Common was rocking at the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I heard Com was rockin’ it b-boy style all the way down to the breakdancing. Shout out to Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Ced Coast 97.3, who I heard were in the house. Anyway, Common was wearing a shirt that stated “I Love Black People,” but there was a skinhead-looking fellow in the front row. I won’t say he was definitely a skinhead, but what he did next is a good indication that he was! The dude continuously heckled Com during the show and capped it off with a middle finger to the Chi-Town rapper. He must have thought it was sweet with Com, but I heard Sense wasn’t having it. I heard Com walked over to the skinhead and slapped the fire out of his racist face right in the middle of the damn show. The whole crowd went wild, I heard. Common reportedly said, “I don’t know what you thought but I am from the South Side of Chicago!” Security removed the man and the crowd gave him a beer shower on the way out. Eventually, the crowd calmed down and Common ushered peace back into the House…but, the skinhead left with the Blues!
If that’s true, I’m loving Com right now.

A new special issue of golf magazine The Green features a controversial image on the cover that has caused one retail chain to call for its immediate removal from all store branches. Intending to pay tribute to African American and Women’s history, the February/March issue of the publication has a cover photo of a sign from 1784 advertising “Negroes For Sale.” The Arizona-based retail chain Sports Authority, which carries the magazine along with other major retailers nationwide, sent a companywide e-mail to employees calling for the immediate removal of the magazine from store shelves. After receiving the e-mail, one Sports Authority employee contacted the magazine’s offices to say that the image was “just rude to be on the cover of a golf magazine,” reports Target Market News.

Being the son of rap mogul Damon Dash has its privileges. According to the New York Post, Damon Jr. was jacked for his cell phone by some local kids near New York’s Dwight School, where Junior is a student in the eighth grade. When word of the mugging got back to Dash, pops decided to take matters into his own hands. The paper reports that Dash and “a couple of large friends” went up to the school’s location near Central Park West and 89th Street. While it was not reported what happened next, the cell phone somehow turned up in Dash’s possession within minutes. A spokeswoman for Dash declined comment about the incident to the Post, but an insider told the paper, “It’s totally true.” (source)

Do you know what $20 can get you? I was bored at work and happened to come across a really funny website. For $20, you could send an insult to President Bush right in Washington D.C with just the click of the mouse. Insult The President is “a site dedicated to providing constructive feedback (insults) to the President of the United States” according to them. I think the funniest insult i read was ” You’ve got an MTV mind in a PBS world”. You actually get a certificate to show off to your buddies at work. The joy of the internet, you could insult the moron in the white house without ever leaving your workstation!

According to Cooper, He interviewed a Klansman, Jarred Hensley, who is the second most powerful klansman in the state of Ohio, USA. Hensley declined Cooper’s request to attend one of his klans meeting. Cooper, who is Asian-American decent was told by Jarred Hensley to leave the country.
Last night, I was lucky enough to watch the PBS documentary, “Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson“. Now, I know that in all truthfulness, Jack Johnson was the Greatest fighter of the old also the first African-American Heavy weight Champion. One of my appreciation for Jack Johnson and adoration and other words that begin with the letter “a” that mean good stuff, is the fact that he was a true fighter. I mean I watched the title fight against Jess Willard, and they stated that it was 105 degrees and he fought to the 26th Round. 26th round!! It was rumored that Johnson allowed himself to be knocked out because of his marriages to white women, against the law at the time, and his flamboyant lifestyle that the White man could not stand. He later on became a connoisseur of Harlem night life, eventually opened his own supper club, Club Deluxe, at 142nd Street and Lenox Avenue which was later turned into the Cotton Club. Johnson died in a car accident in 1946 after being forced to eat in the back of a white diner in Raleigh, North Carolina. Read the rest of this entry »

From his interview in the March issue of Playboy:
“I’m nowhere near as good as Jay-Z, Eminem or Nas. So I compensate … with star power, sheer energy, entertainment, videos, really good outfits and overwhelmingly, ridiculously dope tracks. Justin Timberlake isn’t the best singer, but he’s a true star, the entire package. The main thing I use to make up for my lack of rapping skills is my content, my subject matter.”
At least the dude is being honest, because from the way I see the music industry alot of negros cant rap for nothing. Take for example that ninja turtle looking idiot, MIKE JONES. Sometimes I wonder why this guy has a career in the music biz, but I cant hate. Right?

Marion “Suge” Knight on Thursday (Feb. 16) filed a $106 million lawsuit against a convicted drug dealer, Michael Harris who claims to have founded the mogul’s Death Row Records with seed money from behind bars.
Knight, who has always denied the claim, is charging current San Quentin State Prison resident Michael Harris with federal fraud, conspiracy and racketeering. Knight’s attorney, Dermot Givens, said that Harris was a federal informant who concocted “a scheme to blackmail various entertainment industry entities” by threatening to sue over his alleged drug money investments.”There was an effort to silence rap music and specifically Suge Knight, who was its icon,” Givens told the Associated Press.

Mos Def appeared in court on Feb. 14 after filing for divorce from his wife, Maria Yepes-Smith. Mos Def, born Dante Smith, was ordered to pay $10,000 a month to support their 7- and 8-year-old daughters. Mos Def has paid roughly $8000 a month since the order was issued, but said obligations to his three other children and other business issues prevented him from making the court ordered payments. Mos Def also argued that his payments should be reduced because Yepes-Smith reneged on an agreement to home school the children. “I’m the only person who’s providing for my children,” Mos Def told Judge Sarah Krauss. His ex wife said he has a new movie coming out called 16 Blocks with Bruce Willis so he hould be able to afford it.

Cam says “We set up a similar situation where we are videotaping people thinking they’re gonna meet little kids,” he continued. “When they get there, it’s gonna be me and [my manger] Big Joe like, ‘What the hell are you doing, you damn pervert? What the f— is wrong with you, coming to meet a 13-year-old boy?’ We’re gonna talk to them and not let them leave until we find out what’s wrong with them.” Cam said he has caught two people in compromising positions, so far, and he wants to catch at least eight more for the still-untitled DVD. According to his crew, the Diplomats, there will be no police involvement.
Bruce Willis has a few fighting words for Oprah over James Frey and even the tabloid magazines.
“Hey, Oprah,” Willis continues.
“You had President Clinton on your show, and if this [bleep] didn’t lie about a couple of things, I’m going to set myself on fire right now. James Frey is a writer, OK? He can write whatever he wants. It’s fiction, and it’s just hard, it’s just shameful how he was treated in some of these things.”
Willis says Justin Timberlake “was asked to play James Frey in the making of that book, and he waited and waited and listened to everyone and he said – ‘Have you heard of this magazine called In Touch magazine or Us Weekly or InStyle or People or any of these magazines? They lie about people and they just make up [bleep] all week long, and you have to sue them to get it changed.’
“This is the world that we live in. That’s approved and people go, ‘That’s OK,’ and people go, ‘Ooooo, someone is [bleeping] this person over here. Someone did this over here.’ And they’re all lies and no one is yelling at them. So let’s leave James Frey alone.”
Without pausing for breath, Willis turned on Entertainment Weekly, which recently wrote that “Die Hard IV” was one sequel they “didn’t want to see.”
EW “hates me,” he fumed. “They’ve hated me since they’ve been a magazine. F – - – them. And you can go tell them that.”

Seems like the Jacksons will be working together after all. If you recall Samuel L. Jackson stated that he doesnt want to star in movies with rappers, and Curtis ‘Fiddy Cent’ Jackson dissed him by calling him a ‘crackhead’. Well the two put their differences aside and will be starring in an upcoming movie on the war in Iraq. The Movie will be called “Home of the Brave”. The Movie will follow three Soldiers who return home and find it difficult to adjust. It would be good to see fiddy in this movie, just cause i will like to see if this idiot can play any other character than a ‘Gangster’.
I love Valentine’s Day, I think it is great we have one day a year to put aside everything and concentrate on our significant other. Actually, I think it is sad we need a holiday to make us do something romantic. The nature of Valentine’s Day is pure and caring and all around “sexy”. Think of all the creative, romantic, and sexual occurrences on that one day a year.Think about it, every day of the year nobody cares if you have a significant other, but suddenly it’s Valentine’s Day and it is everyone’s business what your “plans” are or what “gift” you received. It’s even worse that most gifts are public displays of affection. Don’t we do this on any other holiday? Listen nobody cares you received flowers, secretly they probably want to stub you in the eye because all you can talk about all day is, “hey did you see the five dozen roses mr Romantic sent me?” “No, because you fucking ego is blocking my view!!” I am not saying you all should label me as “Mr Fuck-Valentine’s day”, Dig a little deep and do something special today. This also does not mean expensive, its about being meaningful. Trust me your significant other will remember a Valentine’s Day that you made her laugh, cry (happy tears), and fall in love all over again. Excuse me, I have to look for that red teddy bear with the chocolate and rip off its head. Happy Valentine’s Day.

“Cheney’s got a gun
The whole world’s come undone

What did the VP do
What did he put him through?”

Common was nominated for 5 Grammies for his phenomenal album entitled BE. Tavis Smiley who is a huge fan of Common hosted him before the Grammies to get his perspective. Common relayed that “music deserves a messages” and despite the idea that some of his prior work did not go gold in sales he never lost faith in his ideas. However Common fills that the time is right in the world for his message because people are saying”ok, I will rock to this or that but I am not going to play this in the home… I dont listen to a lot of stuff that is on the radio.I think some of this imagery is false and contrived”
In a refreshing turn Common told Tavis that he no longers want to fight against the label of being a concious artist. ” I used to think that the label was bad and that they were trying to box me in and seperate me from other rappers but if Marvin Gaye, Bob Marley, Steve Wonder and KRS1 are labeled as aware or concious artist then that’s a category I want to be in.” Before leaving Common testified to his strong friendship with Kanye West who produced over 80% of the albums tracks. Telling Tavis the BE album ” didnt start out with Kanye because he was working on somebody else album but I came in the studio and he offered me an amazing track”, this was the begining but not the genesis of the relationship. Common admits “when I first met him back in the day in Chicago, he used to talk a lot of yang and was shallow but now he is just so mature and evolved now , so the relationship just jelled to the point where the album was spectacular.”

I’m not exactly sure why I dreamt this but I think it has something to do with me watching that Intel Centrino duo ad with Mariah carey. “Now, entertainment really comes to life in your lap.” For real, can she entertain me with more than just singing?

Cocky rap star Kanye West is calling for a revised edition of the Bible, because he thinks he should be a character in it. The “Jesus Walks” hitmaker, who picked up three Grammy Awards last night, feels sure he’d be “a griot” (West African storyteller) in a modern Bible.
After the stunt Kanye West pulled at the Grammys with the “THANK YOU LIST” and the “I TOLD YOU SO” signs, you’d think Kanye would learn. Nope! Now he wants to make history and be written into the Bible! Kanye West was quoted saying, “I bring up historical subjects in a way that makes kids want to learn about them. I’m an inspirational speaker. I changed the sound of music more than one time… For all those reasons, I’d be a part of the Bible. I’m definitely in the history books already.”
Why in the hell is Ashanti releasing beauty products? What the fuck does she know about beauty, I can still remember 2 weeks ago this chick had sideburns. Seriously, this Chick doesn’t know a thing or two about beauty. I hope that product fixes blotchy skin and cellulite because she needs the help. By the way, doesnt that bottle look like a Hidden Valley ranch dressing bottle.

Def Jam president Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter has announced the signing of Miami rapper Rick Ross in a distribution deal with Def Jam, Ross’s single “Hustlin” has generated a nationwide buzz on hip-hop airwaves. Ross, who has repped the Miami underground scene since the late 1990s, remains on Slip-N-Slide Records. Rumors of bidding wars began circulating in early January, including talks with Atlantic Recordings, Cash Money Records, and Bad Boy Entertainment. Last year when Young Jeezy stepped away from the Atlanta group Boyz N Da Hood, Ross was considered his potential replacement after appearing on their 2005 self-titled album, but the deal never came to fruition.
“I sat down with a lot of people and ultimately [Def Jam] came with the best situation,” Ross explained. “I feel comfortable with their system. It’s obvious they know what they’re doing. We wanna win big. They wanna win big. So we knocked it out.”
Ross’s debut album, “Career Criminal,” is already scheduled to hit stores by summer, and is set to feature a vocal appearance by Jay-Z.

Details are still being gathered but Hip-Hop producer/MC Jay Dee, also known as J Dilla, reportedly passed away earlier Yesterday (February 10) in a Los Angeles, hospital due to what is believed to have been kidney and/or liver failure. The beatmaker had been sick for an unspecified amount of time leading to rumors spreading last year that J-Dilla was in a coma. J-Dilla was a founding member of the rap grou, Slum Village and a member of A Tribe Called Quest’s production team The Ummah. He is also known for his production work with acts such as Busta Rhymes, D’Angelo, Erykah Badu, The Pharcyde, Common, and De La Soul. J-Dilla more recently worked with Kanye West on Common’s critically acclaimed album Be. He will be sorely missed by the Hip-Hop community.

I dont know if any of you noticed NBC’s Brian Williams calling Barack Obama Harold Ford. That it’s happened before is messed up. That a Senate staffer says people mix them up plenty, even though one is a Senator and the other is a Representative, is fucked up. And I probably wouldn’t have heard about it, if it hadn’t been on camera during the State of the Union Address. Doesnt that picture of Harold Ford look like a take out from a new NBC show? Dude looks way too serious.
Spike Lee is a man known in Hollywood with many slashes -director/actor/writer/producer/outspoken social critic. On Wednesday night, the 48-year-old Lee retained the latter crown, poking fun at Florida Gov. Jeb Bush – and his brother – and speaking out against a “gangsta” mentality among some blacks and a mass media that cashes in on it. “No one gets upset that pimpdom gets elevated on a pedestal,” he said, repeatedly making references to Snoop Dogg and lambasting the rapper’s stereotype-fueled comedy “Soul Plane. “We are bombarded by these (’gangsta’) images again and again and again and again. They do make a difference on human behavior,” said Lee, adding that he thinks allowing a child to sit in front of a television unsupervised should be a criminal act. Lee, who has directed music videos, criticized “gangsta” rap videos for their portrayal of women as “ho’s.” He accused these rappers of “cooning” – a reference to an old racial slur that framed blacks as uneducated and primative. “African-Americans are known all over the world from these videos,” he said
I applaud Wyclef Jean. At a time when most rappers only care about how many cars they own and how ignorant they can be in front of the cameras, Wyclef, who has always been vocal about his homeland and its political condition, has braved the nuisances of Haiti to make sure he participates in the current elections. Not only has he gone back, he is assisting people in getting his country back to some kind of order. This is rare because most Hip-Hoppers could care less about what happens in their city, state or country. Of course, most of them appear every four years during the presidential elections to take advantage of whatever publicity is going on surrounding the actual elections. Read the rest of this entry »

Kanye West’s new video for “Touch the Sky” was premiered during MTV’s Grammys pre-show. I have always been impressed with Kanye’s music videos, especially with the cartoon-theme ‘Heard Em Say’. The Video guest stars Pamela Anderson, Lupe Fiasco and Nia Long and directed by Chris Milk. Overall it wasn’t what I expected but I like the concept of the video, it very curtis-mayfieldish, retro, Evil Knievel outfit. I love the big ass sideburns but I cant fucking believe this idiot kissed Pamela Anderson, aint she like the white version of Superhead? Plus she has Hepatitis B.

With all the hype and controversy surrounding the petty little beef between The Game and Fiddy, ‘Mr Interscope’ has fired back. Seems like Fiddy is tired of this little riff-raff breaking in and destroying his property. Throughout the entire track, titled ‘Not Rich, Still tryin’, Fiddy rhymes from Game’s perspective and even impersonates his voice and flow.
“I will say, however, that this track is pure comedy. In true 50 Cent fashion, the trash talk at the end of the song is actually better than the song itself. Curtis is obviously trying to return to the glory days of the pre-GRODT mixtapes when he was dismantling Ja’s career before our very eyes, but unless he stops acting like he’s afraid to make a serious dis track, I can’t imagine that ever happening again. If anything, Game will end his own career before 50 ever does.”- Nahright

Ever since Cam’ron opened his big fucking mouth and dissed President Carter aka Jay-Z, words have been spreading like wildfire. Alot of peeps wanna know if Mr Carter is indeed going to retaliate and release one of those “million dollar diss records”. It’s been about a month since Nas signed with Def Jam, and now the alliance has become official: He and Jay are on the same team. My fingers have been crossed, waiting for a diss record from both Jay-z and Nas airing Camron and the dipshits out. According to rumors, there is an interview with both Jay and Nas which would be aired on BET. Nas has some very harsh words for the harlem diplomat.
Nas: Some of these artists that come at artists have everything you could
tear down in a rhyme. Just look at them. Just look at their appearance,
look what they sound like, how they got in the game. The whole history of
their existence in rap is a joke. I just don’t understand the nerve of some
of these dudes.BET: To be attacking guys like y’all.
Nas: Not even. Less than that. The nerve. An earring like that [holds
fingers to his ear, indicating a large earring]?
The Quote is reference to those ridiculous big square earrings that Cam’ron wears.

“So much white it’ll hurt your eyes,” brags the Atlanta coke rapper Young Jeezy. This is either a lie or a revelation. Back in the day, the crystalline tropane alkaloid called cocaine was used as a topical anesthetic in ocular surgery. Maybe it hurt your eyes, but you certainly didn’t feel the pain. So when Jeezy explains a track later, “This is the streets, and I am the trap”—call it blind optimism. Read the rest of this entry »

SOHH has a report up alledging that Cam filed suit against “an unknown assailant” after being assaulted during what has now come to be referred to as “The Infamous Rucker Park Incident”. This is confusing to me for a couple of reasons. First of all, if he sued somebody from Junior Mafia, wouldn’t Cease have brought that up on the Cocaine City DVD when he shows the beatdown video? It seems to me like that revelation would be way more damaging to Cam and the Dips then a video of them catching a bad one or something like, oh I don’t know, Jim Jones’ Catholic school picture could ever be. After all, anybody can get caught slipping, but you have to purposely go into court and file a lawsuit.
Second, from what I saw of that video, Cam was too busy doing a flawless Michael Johnson impersonation to have gotten touched during that incident. It’s hard to get beat down when your pursuers can’t find you. Still, if you read the police report from that day it does state that Mr. Giles was “knocked to the ground and kicked” by 15 attackers. And I know what you’re thinking but no, the police report alone doesn’t really prove anything because the police were probably called to the hospital because it was a case of assault. Who knows. I expect Killa to announce a press conference anyday now to either refute these claims or attack Jay-Z for his lackluster cuff link selection or whatever fashion violation he’s riding against this week.
I was lucky enough to check the Dave Chappelle’s “couch sharing” with Oprah. If you didnt, Oprah.com has most of the interview and whatnot posted. Here is a snippet:
Some people said Dave had gone crazy or was on drugs. Some media reported Dave was locked in a mental institution.
In reality, Dave says, he went to South Africa to slow down. How could he have just left like that? “One, I needed a break,” he says. “Two, we have family and friends down there. I felt like it was a place where I could really reflect… And here’s the other thing: I was only gone for two weeks! They made it sound like it was so mysterious.” Read the rest of this entry »

So she’s not a sellout, she just wants to keep her afro-relations on a low.
