2 Chainz Once Stole A Car And Tried To Rob A Wendy's Drive-Thru (VIDEO)
“It’s a robbery, you got to have a pistol”-2 Chainz
(AllHipHop News) 2 Chainz is worth enough money to open his own fast food restaurant. However, the man born Tauheed Epps was not always swimming in money and resorted to some near-criminal activity.
At Cipha Sounds’ weekly Hip Hop improv show Take It Personal, 2 Chainz told the story of the time him and his friend stole a car and unsuccessfully attempted to rob a Wendy’s. The pair of young criminals would have got a way with it too if it was not for a paranoid Tauheed and a pesky Wendy’s employee who recognized the soon-to-be rapper’s voice.
UCB regulars Phil Jackson, Abra Tabak, Anthony Atamanuik, Lydia Hensler and Cipha Sounds transformed that story into a hilarious sketch for the crowd at the East 3rd Street UCB Theatre.
Cipha Sounds’ Take It Personal is every Friday at 9pm.

Cee Lo Green: "Crime Is Art For Lazy people", Talks About Pulling Gun on Manager + New Memoir
(AllHipHop News) Cee Lo Green, at 39 years old, is a family man, co-host of a talent show and possesses a wardrobe that would make Prince’s eyebrows raise. According to the rapper/singer’s recent memoir Everybody’s Brother, Cee Lo was not always a law-abiding citizen.
In one revelation from the book, the 20 year rap veteran explains how he almost shot the manager of Goodie Mob during their formative years in the early 90’s over allegations of the manager shortchanging the group:
To be blunt, I did have a MAC-11. I just owned it and happened to have it on me,He did make the mistake of starting an argument with a person who was carrying a weapon
Cee Lo Green, born Thomas DeCarlo Callaway, discussed his criminal youth which include robbery and assaults. Interestingly enough, the eccentric artist perceived his early attraction to crime as a consequence of him being brilliant:
People who are brilliant-minded need a creative outlet. … To feel endowed enough to take something from somebody is very empowering. If you can take it, it becomes very easy. Crime is art for lazy people.
Cee Lo Green’s memoir Everybody’s Brother will be in stores on September 10th. Goodie Mob released their reunion album, Age Against The Machine on August 27th. Cee Lo returns to NBC’s “The Voice” on September 23rd.

Parris Franz Returns to Claim her Hip-Hop Destiny
When Cha-Cha first released her debut album, Dear Diary on Epic Records in 1999, she was a young, naïve spitter poised to take over the rap game. But, despite appearances by Nas and Juvenile on her debut, underpromotion by her label tanked the project. “Back then, I always felt that there was more depth to me, but I always had those corporate-minded restraints that kept me confined from doing what I wanted to do creatively and sort of hindered me expressing it.”
Since her debut album, Cha-Cha–who is now using the name Parris Franz– stayed busy. “I was an On-Air Personality for Clear Channel and Radio One for a few years, that in turn lead to quite a bit of hosting of celebrity events and parties, specialty concerts,” Parris told us from her current home in Los Angeles, where she is working on a film. “All while still performing shows overseas with Royce Da 5’9″ a few times, on a few spot dates here and there…everywhere from the Czech of Republic to Germany and more.”
That’s right, Parris Franz is a Detroit-native, and even more, she is sister to Royce Da 5’9″, not by blood but sister nonetheless. It was on Royce’s projects, Build and Destroy, M.I.C., and Death is Certain and while touring the world with one-half of Bad Meets Evil that she continued to hone her rap chops, as well as other valuable skills. “I’m producing music. I write for others. I was recently requested to write on the new Beyonce’ album. I’ve gotten acting roles, in some film work and on Tyler Perry’s Meet The Browns. I’m also working on a fashion line, Crown Jewel Collectives & Co.”
In an industry, where women are often marginalized and the category for “Best Female Rapper” has gone to one woman four years in a row. Parris Franz is poised to retake the place that was rightfully hers years ago, without missing a beat. “I feel like I’ve just evolved as a person, and as an artist. With music being at the center of my passions, it’s only right that I exude my growth in it at this point.”
Check out the world premiere of “We on That” by Parris Franz. Follow @ParrisFranz on Twitter/Instagram.

(AllHipHop News) Hip Hop artist Kendrick Lamar and NBA player James Harden traveled to Alaska to speak with students at Bethel Regional High School. Bethel High was rewarded with the visit from the two stars for winning a high school graduation competition sponsored by the Get Schooled Foundation, Taco Bell, and Viacommunity. The Alaskan school beat out 324 other schools across the nation with a 100% participation rate.
K-Dot and Harden spoke with MTV’s Sway Colloway about their participation with Get Schooled.
“I seen the energy, obviously their energy gave me even more fuel to come out here and look them dead in their eyes and see how much more inspiration that I can give them rather than just seeing me on TV or onscreen somewhere,” said Kendrick.
Get Schooled is now offering more students who commit to graduating from high school the chance to win tickets to see J. Cole and Wale in concert. Students that sign up for the “Make The Promise” campaign from now through September 22nd are entered in the competition.
Get Schooled is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving high school graduation rates and empowering students to succeed in higher education. Other Get Schooled challenges include the “Grad 4 Más Attendance Challenge” and the “Get Schooled College Challenge.”
