“We gotta take care of them kids, man, I know you heard Obama”-Lil Wayne
(AllHipHop News) Chances are 25 year old Brittany Harris did not hear President Obama’s 2009 presidential address to children to improve their school performance but she sure heard Lil Wayne. According to a police report obtained by The Smoking Gun, the Florida woman left her two children unattended in a parking lot at the South Florida Fairgrounds in order to attend a Lil Wayne concert.
An arena employee at the Cruzan Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach found Harris’ two children, ages five and three around 9:45 pm in the parking lot next to a Nissan Altima. The children informed them that their mother had left them in the car in order to watch the Lil Wayne concert. After the worker escorted them to the sheriff’s deputies, Harris was located by investigators around 10:30 pm in parking lot.
Harris initially deceived the investigators by claiming her cousin brought the children to the parking lot before later admitting “that she came here and left the kids to stay in the car so she could watch the concert” according to the affidavit. She was subsequently arrested and held on $10,000 bond for each of her felony accounts. Due to the child endangerment charges, Harris’ children were taken into the care of child welfare workers.
Harris is also known as Pretty Red and has appeared in a few music video.
Check below for a picture of the affidavit with a complete recount of the events:
(AllHipHop News) When multimillionaire music legends (and Keri Hilson) can patch things up it is beautiful, when it is in a song version . In a recent interview with Revolt TV, Timbaland reveals that him and Keri Hilson recorded a song entitled “Sorry” apologizing to Jay-Z and Beyonce.

In the song, Timbaland addresses their falling out and the incident which involved him missing Jay-Z’s 40th birthday:
“Now we see each other and we dont even speak/that’s fcked up/I missed your 40th and that hurt me so deep/accept my apology, ngga please.”
According to Timbaland, Keri clears up the misconception that she sent incendiary remarks towards Mrs. Carter. Back in 2008, Keri Hilson remixed her song “Turnin’ Me On” and released some prophetical lyrics that appeared to be aimed at Beyonce:
“She can sing, but need to move it ‘to the (left)’ / She need to go have some babies / She needs to sit down, she fadin’… / Go ‘head and tell them folks how long I been writing your songs / I been puttin you on, just check the credits.”
The song will reportedly appear on Timbaland’s upcoming album Shock Value 3 which Timbaland has said will include guest spots from Lil Wayne, Rick Ross and possibly Kanye West.
Check out Timbaland explain the song’s creation and recites some of the song’s lyrics:
Chris Brown is the subject of so much drama, I don’t know why he keeps acting the way he’s acting. He’s simply just a liability at this point and maybe #teambreezy tags got people thinking its all good. NAH. There are straight up boycotts popping up all over the place at CB shows, sponsors are dropping out when they hear he’s on the bill. From what I hear, some women’s groups in Canada have started to boycott Chris based on the violence against Rihanna. But, if they were fair, they would be boycotting others as well. But, the truth is, the sponsors are leaving at other shows in Canada and that means BIG money. Four sponsors have dropped out of supporting a festival in Halifax. That’s four sponsors and about 12,000 protesters. Houston, we have a problem. Right now, I am hearing that Brown is still on for the show, but, a source in Canada tells me they are trying to wrangle sponsors back in hopes that they can get their money. If they can, they are rumored to be considering dumping Breezy.

(AllHipHop News) “Funny is funny.” That is Bill Cosby’s rationale for returning to televised comedy specials after a 30 year hiatus this November on Comedy Central for his “Far From Finished” comedy special.
The 76 year old comedic icon’s last comedy special was “Bill Cosby: Himself” which was released on May 20th 1983 . That special contained material that birthed one of the most influential television shows of all time, The Cosby Show.
“Far From Finished” will air on November 24th on Comedy Central.
Check out a scene from “Bill Cosby: Himself” where he discusses how every child has brain damage:
(AllHipHop News) If you could encapsulate the greatest meaning of irony into an event this may be what you would see. West Coast gangster rapper Nipsey Hussle was arrested during a Trayvon Martin rally in South Los Angeles’ Leimert Park after police suspected he brandished a gun.
According to TMZ, LAPD officers interpreted movements Nipsey made as indicative of him possessing a firearm and quickly arrested him. They later discovered he had no firearm on him and released the 27 year old MC.
In more a more peaceful tribute to Trayvon Martin, A$AP Rocky and A$AP Ferg stopped by BET’s 106 & Park yesterday (July 16th) and spoke on the “unfortunate” verdict:
This is a stan’s paradise! If Jay-Z and Beyonce tour together, we will see the whole entertainment world explodes. Beyonce has people hanging from the rafters at her venues. She is killing it out there. And Jay-Z just announced his own tour and he kicks off at Yankee stadium this week. But, here you go with what Jay has to say about it.
“It’s always floating out there, it’s floating out there. It has to be the real thing and it’s slowly making sense, more sense every day, every day it’s making more sense – as far as a tour, not an album.”
Notice that he also shot down my rumor, where I was told there maybe a duet album. Well, that’ll be cool. I think an album would be too corny anyway.

I thought Yelawolf was a happy man with a cute kid and a wife somewhere in the stash. But it seems that ‘s still kind of true. Something like this:
But, things have changed and apparently he’s departed the married relationship that created the beautiful young lady above.
He’s now engaged to be married to FeFe Dobson, the singer from Canada. The pair are more in line with other entertainment entities that are pushing and shoving their way to the top.
You see the side of his head?
But, that’s not quite FeFe and Johnny Cash.
Anyway, after further review, it has been made apparent that FeFe and Yelawolf is not very new, but this engagement is. Dude, if you get somebody’s name or likeness tatted on your skull, its pretty serious. But, why would he have Johnny hugging all up on her. Congrats!!! And, uh, Good Luck!
Apparently, this is his ex-wife and there are two other kids.

(AllHipHop News) Now when rap fans are in a heated debate about which emcee is the greatest lyricist of all time they will have mathematical information to back up their claims. Harvard University’s WEB Du Bois Hip Hop Archive Institute Fellow and rap music follower Tahir Hemphill wanted to find a scientific way to measure the educational level of Hip Hop lyrics. The result was the creation of “Hip Hop Word Count” an online searchable database with over 40,000 Hip Hop songs from 1979 to present day.
Hip Hop Word Count allows Hemphill to calculate data like word count, average syllables per word, average letters per syllable, longest polysyllabic word, and educational level needed to grasp the meaning of a song’s lyrics. It also takes into account artistic cleverness such as use of similes, metaphors, cultural references, and rhyme patterns when tallying its final number on a scale between 0 (illiterate) to 20 (post-graduate degree).
The site has conducted scores for Rakim’s “Microphone Fiend” (16), The Notorious B.I.G.’s “Warning” (11), 2Pac’s “Trapped” (12), Jay-Z’s “Dead Presidents 2” (16), Lil Wayne’s “I’m Me” (11), Lupe Fiasco’s “Superstar” (12), and 50 Cent’s “I Get Money” (7).
The program can also find out when a particular word or phrase first appeared in a rap song and how many times it has been mentioned since. For example, the total count a particular brand of champagne has been rapped about.
Hemphill says the program demonstrates the dumbing down of lyrics in commercial Hip Hop over the years, and he maintains the growing misogyny in Hip Hop is a result of the greater American culture it represents.
“Hip-Hop is always villainized, but people have to understand that Hip Hop is a reflection of American culture, probably in one of its most distilled and pure forms,” says Hemphill.
