A.J. CALLOWAY SPEAK OUT AGAINST DEMONIC RAP

ORANGEBURG, S.C.- The former co-host of BET's popular 106 & Park video countdown show blasted this week what he called the destructive messages of many of the show's most popular music videos. A.J. Calloway co-hosted the show for five years with Free, whose given name is Marie Wright. Both left the show in July. "I couldn't watch my own show with my niece on my lap," Calloway told an audience Wednesday at South Carolina State University as part of the "Black Student Today" panel. The discussion focused on the impact of hip-hop music.

BUSTA CHAMPAGNE BOTTLE’D DAVID MAYS

According to the NY Daily News. Busta Rhymes took a page out of Naomi Campbell playbook and sent an adversary to the hospital this week after braining him with a Champagne bottle. The rapper, who was in Miami for the Winter Music Conference, has a serious beef with deposed Source publisher David Mays. The pair got into a brawl Sunday night at the Miami hot spot Opium, sending Mays to the hospital to clean up a gash in his noggin, two sources tell us. Rhymes’ entourage hasn’t been talking about the incident, and Mays hasn’t gone to the police. It is the same hip-hop omerta that has plagued the NYPD's investigation into the slaying of Israel Ramirez, in Brooklyn in February. But one witness to the Miami assault tells us: "Mays got around 50 stitches in the back of the head." Many of the artists on Busta’s management company, Violator, including 50 Cent and Eminem, have had a problem with Mays over his coverage of them in The Source. Busta’s rep didn’t return calls, and Mays was tight-lipped when we contacted him. "I ain’t talking about that," he said, before hanging up the phone.

BUSTA WAS BLEEPING MAD IN MIAMI

According to a NY tabloid written by popular Gossip columnist Richard Johnson rapper Bust Rhymes went ballistic on a young gay fan who dared to tap the rapper on the shoulder after a night of clubbing in Miami. Rhymes, who was in South Beach for the Winter Music Conference, has been on edge ever since one of his security guards, Israel Ramirez, was shot dead last month in Brooklyn while guarding Rhymes’ jewelry. But it seems nothing makes the rapper’s temper flare faster than the unwanted touch of an effeminate man. The drama unfolded at the 11th Street Diner, which is next door to gay club Twist, early Sunday morning. "The restaurant was packed with transvestites, gay men and drag queens, which obviously made Busta a little edgy," eyewitness Thomas Barker e-mails. "This became evident when a young gay guy came up behind Busta and tapped him on the shoulder to congratulate the rapper on his recent comeback. Before the guy could even mutter a word, Busta turned around and repeatedly screamed, ‘Why the [bleep] you touchin’ me, man? Get the [bleep] away from me’ . . . his two huge bodyguards then caused an even larger scene by pushing the kid away . . . Busta quietly whispered to his bodyguards, ‘I hate [bleeping] faggots, man.’ " A spokeswoman for Rhymes did not return calls.

WEEKEND RELEASE OF ATL’ FILM RAISES SECURITY

By RICHARD L. ELDREDGE of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Could a coming-of-age film set at a Southside Atlanta skating rink translate into overtime for mall cops next weekend? That was the not-so-subtle implication of a memo about the upcoming movie "ATL" that was e-mailed this week to seven shopping centers: Perimeter, Cumberland, Discover Mills, NorthPoint, Oglethorpe, Southlake and Augusta malls. In the memo, Valor Security Service Perimeter Mall security director W. Mark Crowell warns: "On March 31, the movie ‘ATL’ will be released in theaters. A theater manager at one of our properties has alerted the mall team that this movie could cause potential behavior problems. The movie trailer indicates that themes in the movie include moral choices and narcotics trafficking … Please appropriately prepare your security staffs for the release of this movie." Valor provides security for the seven malls.

SUGE KNIGHT IS BROKE

A judge said on Thursday he would take control of Marion "Suge" Knight’s assets, including his Death Row Records label, after finding the rap mogul had avoided paying a $107 million civil court judgment. Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Ronald Sohigian said Knight, who co-founded Death Row with rapper Dr. Dre in the early 1990s and helped launch the careers of performers Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur, could stave off the order if he fully disclosed his assets in a debtor’s exam set for April 1.Sohigian said he would appoint a court officer to take over Knight’s finances because he had failed to make good on a $107 million judgment won last March by Lydia Harris, who claimed he cheated her out of a 50 percent stake in the rap label."Because he had a long history of deceiving the court and avoiding payment, I asked the court to appoint a receiver to take over," Harris’ attorney, Rex Julian Beaber, said. "If Knight cooperates in providing the information, he can ask the court to remove the receiver. But I don’t think there’s a chance in hell Knight is going to cooperate.

50 CENT STILL SHIT TALKING

 

If you can stomach the incessant dickriding from Ms. Jones and whoever the other clown on the show is, here is some audio of 50 on Hot 97 this morning. With the GRODT DVD dropping today and Mobb Deep release date steadily approaching, 50 is of course in prime talk shit mode. Among the topics discussed:

• He claims he had nothing to do with Styles P’s album being pushed back.
• Responding to Spike Lee’s invitation to sit in on one of his film classes, 50 says Spike doesn’t have anything to offer him.
• He also speaks on the NOT AT ALL SUBLIMINAL shot Spike took in Inside Man, and wonders why people are mad at his game but not something like GTA.
• Says Game went to the wrong house in his Stop Snitching Stop Lying DVD.
• Takes more shots at Kanye West.
• When asked if he will ever be President of Interscope records states: "I’m already the president of Interscope Records"
• Speaks on Carmen’s book and says it’s all business and that Nas should have put his foot in her ass a long time ago.
• On down south music: "They don’t want to think, they want to have a good time."
• Criticizes Puff for how he jerked Big and says he’s "running him into the ground."

So, none of these comments are really anything new, but if I didn’t post it I might be accused of ‘hating’ by the Stanley’s. Plus, I figure there’s enough material here to occupy the commenters for the next 24 hours or so. Enjoy…

JACKO WANTS TO MEET ALIENS

Bahrain resident Michael Jackson is allegedly eager to meet aliens from other galaxies. PR guy Mike Luckman - director of the New York Center for Extraterrestrial Research and author of the Pocket Books-VH1 release “Alien Rock: The Rock ‘n’ Roll Extraterrestrial Connection” – claims Jackson personally told him so. “Michael indicated to me that he is open to making contact with otherworldly beings,” Luckman said, adding that his never-before-revealed conversation with Jackson lasted for 15 minutes during a well-publicized visit (before Jacko’s child-molestation trial) to the famed magic store Abracadabra on 21st St. in Chelsea. Store owner Paul Blum confirmed Luckman’s close encounter, in late 2003. But Jackson’s spokeswoman, Raymone Bain, told me: “I wouldn’t doubt that he was in the store,” but insisted that if her client talked to Luckman, “He was only being polite.” Luckman’s account? “That is pure bull,” Bain said.

KELIS POSES FOR KING MAGAZINE

” And it’s a fine line between feminist and man-hater. My husband (Nas) always tells me I’m a feminist. That word usually has a negative connotation to it. When people think of what a strong woman is, it’s like some crazy, hardened man-hater, a carpet-muncher. Yet as soon as a woman puts on a tight bathing suit and shows her round ass or cleavage, all of a sudden she’s caving in to society. I think that’s ridiculous. I’m 26 years old. I look fabulous. I’m a bad chick. I thank God for that.”

MARY J BLIGE ADVISES WHITNEY HOUSTON

 

Last week Blige offered some words to Lauryn Hill about getting her life together now its Whitney Houston’s turn. Mary J. Blige draws upon her own experience in advising Whitney Houston to admit to her alleged drug problems, stating the admission of an addiction is the “first step on the road to recovery.”Blige, who still battles with the effects of her past drug use, tells Britain’s “Attitude” magazine, “You have got to want to admit that you have got a problem, first of all. Then start to deal with why that is.”The “Be Without You” singer also says that Houston’s issues may be rooted in her own unhappiness. “It’s probably more than just drugs,” she says. “You get addicted to drugs and alcohol because you want to drown out all the problems in your life.”Describing herself as “a work in progress,” Blige says her current insight is the result of a long, hard journey that began when she looked in the mirror and began holding that person responsible for her problems, not others. Many of her lessons were handed down by a good friend and confidant, Chaka Khan.

PRINCE AND HIS PURPLE FANTASY

Prince was slapped with a lawsuit – for painting his rented mansion with bright purple stripes. The 80s superstar reportedly customised the £40,000-a-month Hollywood home by covering it with purple lines and his personalised ‘Prince’ symbol. He was also accused of daubing ‘3121′, the title of his new album, on the house and installing a monogrammed carpet – also in his beloved purple – in the master bedroom. His landlord, NBA star Carlos Boozer, lodged a lawsuit against the singer in January. But the star’s lawyers insisted Boozer had collected his rent without complaining about the colourful additions.The lawsuit was subsequently withdrawn “without prejudice”. Meanwhile, the quirky star is giving fans the chance to win special purple tickets to a private concert at his home. The singer is hiding a small number of the ‘Willy Wonka’ style tickets in his new album and single ‘Black Sweat’ which are released this month. Fans who buy the lucky CDs will win an ‘Evening with Prince’ – a trip to the reclusive singer’s home to see the one-off performance. A source from Universal, Prince’s record label, said: “This is another great marketing stunt.”

THE AMERICAN MENTALITY

 

“The idea concerns the fact that this country wants nostalgia. They want to go back as far as they can – even if it’s only as far as last week. Not to face now or tomorrow, but to face backwards. And yesterday was the day of our cinema heroes riding to the rescue at the last possible moment. The day of the man in the white hat or the man on the white horse – or the man who always came to save America at the last moment – someone always came to save America at the last moment – especially in “B” movies. And when America found itself having a hard time facing the future, they looked for people like John Wayne. But since John Wayne was no longer available, they settled for Ronald Reagan – and it has placed us in a situation that we can only look at – like a “B” movie.”

CARLOS SANTANA SPEAKS OUT AGAINST GEORGE BUSH

Carlos Santana quoted his old friend Jimi Hendrix in an anti-war message Monday in Peru and said his philosophy is the antithesis of President George W. Bush’s. “I have wisdom. I feel love. I live in the present and I try to present a dimension that brings harmony and healing,” the 58-year-old rock icon said. “My concept is the opposite of George W. Bush.” Santana, speaking to Peruvian journalists ahead of a Tuesday concert, said young people’s opposition to the war in Iraq is reaching the dimensions of the anti-Vietnam war sentiment in the 1970s. “There is more value in placing a flower in a rifle barrel than making war,” he said. “As Jimi Hendrix used to say, musical notes have more importance than bullets.” In 1971, Santana was prevented from performing in Peru by the military dictatorship, which deemed his music an “alienating” force. Santana returned to perform in 1995.

MICHAEL FINALLY PAYS HIS NEVERLAND RANCH WORKERS

 

Michael Jackson has avoided another court case by paying employees at his Neverland Ranch $306,000 in outstanding wages. Staff at the ranch had been working unpaid since December 19 – and the troubled singer was given until March 15th to pay-up or face a possible lawsuit. State labour commissioner Robert Jones said in a statement: “There is no need to take legal action in this matter as our main concern, that all employees receive wages owed to them, is being addressed.” It is not known how many people had been working for Jackson without pay. The Department of Industrial Relations said that Neverland had 69 workers in December, but that “a lot of employees” had subsequently left. The pop star now has until March 24 to pay $69,000 in penalties for not carrying workers’ compensation insurance. He also faces fines of more than $100,000 for not paying up in the payroll department.

IS JAMIE ANNOYING

 

Dissatisfied with women’s attempts to “go ‘head get down,” Jamie Fox continues to sing “Gold Digger” 500 times a night at whatever club or party he happens to be at. Our spy at Teddy’s on Thursday night reports:
 
“He slid into the booth next to the DJ, popped champagne and quickly had a serious Gold Digger session going. The women were lining up to have a dance off in front of him. At one point he was on the dance floor pouring champagne into strangers mouths. He and Scarlett Johansson had a long moment together on the dance floor, no kissing at all but it seemed like he was giving her some advice or something? He carried on his circus until the place closed down.”
 
Well, it could be worse, we suppose. He could be going around singing “Unpredictable.” But seriously. Is the Jamie Foxx Era almost done? It was cute the first couple of times, but now it’s just starting to grate. However, the fact that he’s pouring booze straight into people’s mouths like it’s Spring Break in Cancun at Señor Frogs is hysterical. That he can keep doing. SOURCE

COREY MILLER’S CONVICTION OVERTURNED

NEW ORLEANS (AP)— The rap artist formerly known as C-Murder is in line for a new trial in connection with a club shooting more than four years ago. On Friday, the Louisiana Supreme Court scrapped the second-degree murder conviction of Corey Miller, a case that had been in legal limbo for almost two years. Miller, 35, was convicted in the shooting death of Steve Thomas, 16, who was gunned down outside the now-defunct Platinum Club in Harvey on Jan. 12, 2002. Miller faced a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole.

RING TONES RIP OFF

 

Paul Porter of Industryears and Wendy Day of Rap Coaltion recently decried the ringtone phenomena. Paul Porter decried “Many of us are unhappy with the mixed messages the music industry continues to deliver. We have all seen ads for ring-tones, slickly marketed to target younger demos. Ring-tones for many youth are an expression of their identity. The music industry has effectively found a new revenue stream that mostly has gone unnoticed.”

JACKSON’S NEVERLAND RANCH SHUT DOWN

Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch was shut down on March 9th and he was fined around $169,000 for failing to pay or insure his workers for months. California officials ordered the eccentric star to “stop using any employee labour”, at the sprawling 2,700-acre ranch, until he obtains workers’ insurance. Local animal welfare officials are also monitoring the situation at Neverland and will remove Jackson’s zoo animals if necessary.

Jan Glick, animal services director, said: “We are keeping an eye on it.”

The enormous ranch features amusement park rides and a zoo that includes elephants, giraffes, snakes, orang-utans, tigers and a crocodile. Officials said Jackson, who has been living in Bahrain since his acquittal on child-molestation charges last June, has failed to pay more than 30 ranch workers since December. The figure in unpaid wages is believed to total at least $306,000. Authorities were alerted after a Neverland employee making an unpaid-wage claim remarked that a co-worker had been injured at work and was unsure about filing a claim due to the lapsed insurance.

IT’S HARD OUT HERE FOR REAL HIP HOP

 

Many people dismissed a movie about a Memphis pimp going through a mid-life crisis who turns to rap for his salvation. It was called ‘trite’, ‘exploitative’ and corny.

PAUL MCCARTNEY DOESNT CARE ABOUT CANUCKS

 

CHARLOTTETOWN, PEI- Paul and Heather McCartney posed with seal pups on ice floes in the Gulf of St. Lawrence Thursday and blasted Canada’s annual seal hunt.

“Canada is known as a great nation,” the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation quoted McCartney as saying. “But this is something that leaves a stain on the character of the Canadian people and we don’t think that’s right. I don’t think the vast amount of Canadians think that’s right.”

The couple told a news conference in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, they have “complete faith that Prime Minister Harper will take swift and decisive action to end the slaughter of these defenseless seal pups for good.”

Seal products were banned from the United States in 1972 and the Humane Society of the United States sponsored the McCartneys’ Canadian trip to try to pressure Canadian authorities to end the annual hunt.

MARSHA AMBROSIUS INKS DEAL WITH DR.DRE

 

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.

COMMON’S SOUTHSIDE SLAP

 

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.

CAM’RON AND MARIAH

Mariah Carey can deny it, but it sure looks like something’s up between her and bad-boy rapper Cam’ron. The duo hosted a party together at the Roxy in L.A. last weekend and were spotted snuggling at Bungalow 8 a couple of weeks ago. Mimi has also been seen riding around in his blue Lamborghini and wearing a chain of Cam’s crew, the Diplomats. SOURCE

Would I drink more Absolut vodka because Lenny is their Spokesman? Hell no. But they do have some great artistic ads. This music project will let Lenny create an exclusive new track based on his interpretation of the ABSOLUT brand. Check it out.

SUPER DAME TO THE RESCUE

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)

KANYE ADMITS HE CANT RAP

 

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?

SUGE KNIGHT FILES SUIT AGAINST MICHAEL HARRIS

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.     

EVE AND THE AFRICAN OIL SHEIK

 

For some reason there is always interest in who Eve is dating.Recently she was the subject of Internet chatter because she was shown to be dating a white male. However her new beau is talk of the town for more ominous reasons. He is the son of an african dictator who has exploited his country’s oil wealth for personal profit and gain.

MOS DEF ORDERED TO PAY MORE CHILD SUPPORT

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.

 

CAMRON NABBING PEDOPHILES ON DVD

 

According to VH1 Camron made an announcement of his plans to release a DVD on which he will “deal with” internet predators aka pedophiles in the same style but a different manner as NBC. 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.

SAMUEL AND CURTIS DO MOVIE TOGETHER

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’.

THREE 6 MAFIA OSCAR NOMINATION

Tennessee-based Three 6 Mafia (Jordan “Juicy J” Houston, Cedric “Crunchy Black” Coleman and Paul “DJ Paul” Beauregard) have just made rap music history by becoming the first African-American rap crew to nominated for an Oscar.

The song has been nominated for the Best Original Song category in the 78th Annual Academy Awards Ceremony.

CHILI ARRESTED FOR POSSESION

 

Rozonda “Chili” Thomas of the multi-million selling group TLC, was pulled over by Atlanta, Georgia police for driving without her headlights on. Well the cops found some narcotics on her and she was arrested and charged with possesion and released on a $10,000 bail. Its currently unknown what type of narcotics we are talking about here, but i know she was messing with that sticky icky green shit.

COMMON SITS WITH TAVIS SMILEY

 

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.”

CHRIS BRIDGES GUEST STARS IN LAW & ORDER:SVU

 

“When I was approached to work on ‘SVU’ and read the script, there was no way that I could turn down this amazing opportunity… The character was so rich and the story line so complex that I knew it was something I had to do.”

Ludacris aka Christopher Bridges will appear on an upcoming episode of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. Ludacris will play Ice-T’s nephew in an episode that will air on March 28th. Chris is expanding and moving into Tv, thats good for him considering that he played a very good role in “CRASH” as a philosophic car jacker.

I HAD A DREAM…

 

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? I might think so “Cmon Mimi, i got a twenty in my left pocket”. Do you notice the dude she is sitting on? He’s the character ‘Jamal’ from BET’s “The Corner”.
 

IS KANYE GETTING COCKY?

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.”

A ‘WTF’ MOMENT

 

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 SIGNS RICK ROSS

By: Kenny Rodriguez

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.

HIP-HOP PRODUCER J DILLA DEAD

1972-2006

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.

SPIKE LEE VS. GANGSTA RAP

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

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.

KANYE WEST: TOUCH THE SKY

 

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.

KANYE’S GRAMMY AFTERPARTY

Kanye’s Official Grammy After Party

50 CENT TO THE GAME: “NOT RICH, STILL TRYIN”

 

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

50 Cent – Not Rich, Still Tryin 

 

WAS THE GRAMMYS LAST NIGHT?

Last night’s Grammys was amazing. The Irish Band, U2, was the biggest winner at the 48th Annual Grammy Awards taking home five awards. ‘How to dismantle an atomic bomb’ won both Album of the Year and Best Rock Album. ‘Sometimes You cant make it on your own’ was named Song of the Year.

JAY-Z AND NAS DISS CAMRON’S EARRING

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.

JADAKISS & STYLES P DISS 50 CENT

 

Hey here is some new music for you guys. I heard Jadakiss and Styles P unleashed some vernon on ”Mr Interscope” and i thought it was pretty funny. Its from Big Mikes new mixtape “Big Boy Game 10.5″ (Mixtapes are dropped fasted than nigerian home videos, I just cant follow them) Be sure to cop it at mix unit. The song is titled “I’m sorry Ms. Jackson” after the famous hit track from Outkast.

Jadakiss and Styles P – I’ m sorry Ms. Jackson

NO MISSION IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR KANYE

HOLLYWOOD, Calif.- Grammy Award-winner Kanye West will interpret the theme to “Mission: Impossible III,” bringing his inventive, masterful, and dynamic style to the iconic song. Dubbed “the smartest man in pop music” in an October ‘05 TIME Magazine cover story, West — who is also nominated for an additional eight GRAMMYs at the upcoming 48th annual ceremony — continues the tradition of groundbreaking and innovative artists performing the classic theme, as members of U2 did in 1996 for “Mission: Impossible,” followed by Limp Bizkit in 2000 for “M:I-2.”

LET IT SNOW

 

Trapped in the Kitchen
by Nick Sylvester

“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.

INTRODUCING… 25 CENT

GGGGGGGGGG-Unit Kids! Yeah, say it. Cmon say it, dont make me force it out of you. Yes, He’s a cute kid. If you havent guessed by now, that is Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s son, Marquis aka “25 Cent”. Lets just hope he doesnt have a Gun fetish like his father, young Marquis might just show off his pops gun collection at school and start ’poppin them thangs’.

BUSTA RHYMES BODYGUARD KILLED

 

A bodyguard for Busta Rhymes was shot dead during a star-studded video shoot in New York. Missy Elliot, Busta Rhymes and G-Unit members including Tony Yayo were scheduled to be filming on a ninth-floor soundstage in Brooklyn on Sunday (02.05.06) when trouble started.

Police Sergeant Kevin Farrell said the bodyguard, 29-year-old Israel Ramirez – a longer time member of the rapper’s entourage who recently started working security for Busta as his jewelry handler, was shot and killed shortly after midnight outside of the Kiss The Cactus Production studio in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn, NY.

L. BOOGIE IS BACK

At last The Fugees are back on stage again, I knew L.Boogie could put her feeling aside.”…All I hear is Fugee this/Fugee that/Where Fugee At?/I need Fugees to spit up on this track/Lauryn if you’re listenin/Pras if you’re listenin/Gimme a call I’m in the lab in the Booga Basement/Y’all know my style/I’m still *mini, money, mini, mini/It aint all about the money…” They performed for a free open-air concert on the corner of Hollywood and Vine in Los Angeles. It was the first time that the Fugees has played live in 10 years.

JANET’S WEIGHT GAIN

Seems like Jermaine Dupri has been feeding Janet some southern fried chicken. Recent Pictures of an overweight janet have been floating online, Janet Jackson has been working out overtime to get her body back into shape by spring/summer for her new album. Janet, “YOU CAN DO IT”

CAM SUED AFTER “IMFAMOUS RUCKER PARK INCIDENT”

 

By Nahright

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. 

TOMMY LEE MISTAKES TRANSSEXUAL FOR A BABE

 

Tommy Lee was left red-faced when he discovered the stunning girl he was flirting with – was a transsexual. The rocker had reportedly asked sexy Nina Arsenault to sit on his knee while he was partying at Toronto’s swanky Ultra Supper Club.
