What in the name of Sam Hill? These teachers have lost their ever loving minds! The latest is this crazy looking teacher. She no longer teaches for obvious reasons, but she reportedly had sex with four of her former students and sent them makes images on Facebook – WTH? YEAH. These kids were looking to get additional help in math and she was looking to get help getting off! The 41-year-old LaShawn Simmons (no relation to Russ) is finished, but not because she had an orgasm. She’s finished because she is now slapped with charges: sexual assault of a child, the discovery of child pornography, two counts of improper relationship between an educator and a student, and online solicitation of a minor. FINISH HER!
Here is some of the report from a local new station:
One of the alleged victims spoke to KHOU, saying that she sent him pictures of her ‘private parts’ years ago when he was still in middle school.
‘Some stuff happened around the 8th grade. She sent me a couple of text messages, that was about it,’ the boy said.
‘Like wow, what kind of person would send me this? An adult, and I’m a child.’
Police found some naked pictures of her alleged victims- though not necessarily the boy that was interviewed- on her phone.
Though an after school tutoring session took place in her classroom, the allegedly had sex in her apartment.
The investigation took two months to finalize after the concerned parent discovered the explicit Facebook messages in December.

(AllHipHop News) New Orleans Hip Hop/bounce legend Juvenile has crafted a multiplatinum 15+ year recording career, but he will turn into a vengeful gangsta for his role in the movie The Power of Few.
Shot in New Orleans and directed by Leone Marucci, the crime drama tells the story of a bloody afternoon from three different perspectives, with Juvenile’s character playing a central role in the third act.
Juvenile told Nola.com that the prospect of working some of his favorite actors was one of the main reasons for his signing on to the film:
To be honest, when they said Christian Slater and Christopher Walken and Anthony Anderson — right there that’s three people that I really like. I watch their movies. I watch ‘Mobsters,’ I watch ‘King of New York,’ I watch the movies that Anthony’s done with my fellow rapper DMX in the beginning. I’ve seen him do movies that I’ve loved a lot, like ‘Barbershop.’
In addition to being in front of screen, the 37-year-old veteran has plans to be apart of the film’s soundtrack and possibly enlisting some new artists. Juvenile’s recent mixtape with DJ Slob1 and his son, Young Juve’s mixtape “Son of A Hot Boy” are both featured on Juvenile’s website JuvieTheGreat.com
The Power of Few will debut on February 22nd to select theatres in Baton Rouge, New Orleans and Los Angeles.
Drake? Chris Brown and Rihanna have apparently broken up again over Drake? What now? Breezy col’ busted Rihanna sending Drake text messages. I guess, old flames die hard. Here is what the UK Sun is reporting.
RIHANNA and CHRIS BROWN have split up… for the time being, anyway. The couple had a row on the night of the Grammys because the Bajan singer was sending text messages to her ex-boyfriend – rapper DRAKE.
The pair were seen looking unhappy leaving the event then spotted sat at opposite ends of a club last week. A source said: “Chris and Rihanna had a big bust-up at the Grammys over Drake.
“She was messaging him and Chris saw and it didn’t go down well. “Since that night they have barely spoken and have been doing their own things. For now they have split up but they will probably make up at some point.”
BEYONCE REFUSES TO MEET BLUE IVY’S UNCLE!?!!
Matthew Knowles created a big, jagged pill when he cheated on his wife. He created a baby from the affair and rumor has it Beyonce will not see Nixon, her brother and Blue Ivy’s uncle! I mean, who cares – I know. I don’t either but the Star gossip mag is saying something about it. Here it is:
Beyonce is itching to add a son to her family, but let’s hope her daughter, Blue Ivy, treats him better than Beyonce treats her own brother!
Alex Wright tells Star that she is the mother of a baby boy fathered by Beyonce’s dad, Mathew Knowles, when he was still married to Beyonce’s mother Tina.
Sources say Beyonce was so furious about her father’s affair, she refuses to meet her little brother. But Mathew’s relationship with the tot, named Nixon, isn’t much better.
“We had an 18 month relationship. We were in love and even lived together,” Wright tells Star. “But four months into my pregnancy, he decided he couldn’t do it – and since our son’s birth, he has tried to deny Nixon full child support. This isn’t about the money. It’s about accountability, education and providing Nixon a secure life. “
Hopefully that baby gets to know his sister, because that would be criminal if he was punished for the sins of the father!

They say Lil Wayne would never lie about his sexual past and, I guess, he ain’t. In a song, he seemingly once rapped about sex with Chris Bosh’s wiz. Here are the lines, even though there are no names named.
“Since she was this ball player’s girl – I ain’t go say names / I only saw her when that n***a had away games / Then we got closer – while he was miles away / You know what it is – white wine Issaac Hayes
Since Wayne has lived in Miami for the longest, he’s likely talking about somebody from the Heat. Damn, Bosh! Here is the song.
On the flip side, the NBA said that Wayne did lie about the notion that he was banned from all NBA games. They said that is not true.
They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry! -illseed.
(AllHipHop News) The 15-37 Washington Wizards were not only over-matched by the Toronto Raptors last night(Feb. 20th) 96-88 but overshadowed by an even more enticing battle. Toronto Raptors commentator Matt Devlin and the sports fanatic MC that is Wale had a cold war of words after Devlin questioned on-air Wale’s relevancy and stating the obvious “he’s not Drake.”
A simple misinterpretation of a friendly exchange as “heckling,” a few shots at a rapper’s ego and the man Devlin refered to as “Wall A” was enough for Wale to confront the detractor:
Following the game, Rudy Gay took to his personal Twitter account to reassure people him and Wale were having a jovial exchange between friends.
Wale also took to his personal Twitter account, however his was during the game and sent a warning to Devlin’s twitter account(which ironically is @MattDevlinRaps):
This incident is more of an anomaly for a rapper who has fervently showcased his love for sports. Recently Wale teamed up with his label boss Rick Ross and Rozay’s manager Alex “Gucci Pucci” Bethune to start a sports management company. Also, Wale and labelmate Stalley recorded the theme song for ESPN’s popular debate show First Take.
Check out Wale’s recent video for “Let A N*gga Know” featuring Coke Boyz representative Chinx Drugz off Wale’s recently released mixtape Folarin:
Houston’s Warehouse Live brought Philly and NY down south NBA All Star Weekend, a scene laden with stunners and 5 star chicks alike. On site were Pusha T and Yo Gotti who joined Meek Mill, Fabolous and DJ Drama for an epic set of performances. DJ QuickSilva provided the soundtrack for the night, while DJ Drama got on the mic and was spinning a host of top hits. Jessica Vickery Marketing set the normal performance venue up as a scenic club with couches and VIP sections on stage and near the front of the venue providing a lavish atmosphere and epic vibe. Once the stars arrived Meek took to the microphone soon followed by Fabolous.

(AllHipHop News) In a recent interview with Lifeandtimes.com, director Stephen Vittoria spoke about his revealing new Mumia Abu-Jamal documentary Long Distance Revolutionary.
While countless other films, books, articles, and essays have been created about the imprisoned former Black Panther member’s arrest, trial, and appeal of the alleged killing of a Philadelphia police officer in 1981, Vittoria’s new film focuses on Abu-Jamal’s career as a journalist.
“I had been inspired by Mumia’s writings and his broadcasts for many years,” stated Vittoria. “Mumia’s story always intrigued me because of his commitment to peace and justice and freedom from inside [prison] where harsh and draconian pieces of the American empire really inspired me to tell the complete story.”
Prior to his arrest for the murder of police officer Daniel Faulkner, Abu-Jamal was a rising writer and radio journalist, eventually becoming president of the Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists. He was known for his outspoken revolutionary activism and for promoting the black liberation group MOVE.
His murder trial and subsequent imprisonment has been under question for over 30 years. Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu, Amnesty International, the Congressional Black Caucus, and numerous other advocates and organizations from around the world have pushed for Abu-Jamal to receive a new trial.
Vittoria’s documentary intends to shine a light on Mumia as a historian, not as a prisoner.
“I’ve watched [Abu-Jamal’s] writing really increase from writing about what he knows to writing about what he’s learned and what he feels, very much like a Howard Zinn type of historian,” shared Vittoria.
The film features famous names like Cornel West, Angela Davis, Dick Gregory, and M-1 of rap group dead prez, as well as a cast of children and other actors reading excerpts from Mumia’s writings and the writings of people who inspired him.
Tthe League of Young Voters released the Vote for the Hood Vol. 1 mixtape, produced by Dre Knight (Frank Ocean) and featuring Dee-1, FowL and more. This mixtape is aimed at engaging voters in critical but low-profile elections, such as the recent Wisconsin race, and inspire political participation.
When you hear the word “Scion,” cars are likely to come to mind first, but in an effort to use their globally recognized brand to help develop other endeavors, Scion has created the Scion AV Open Mic concert series.
Scion AV’s Open Mic series has been bringing monthly free shows featuring strictly the hottest current acts in Hip-Hop to a number of venues that featured past performers like Danny Brown’s Detroit-based Rap crew Bruiser Brigade, Trinidad James of “All Gold Everything” fame, Action Bronson, Antwon, Flatbush Zombies and producer Harry Fraud and “friends.”
In addition to the free concerts, Scion has put together a couple of videos that includes interviews, performance footage and more from past Open Mic events. You can check out ones with Bruiser Brigade and Action Bronson below:
Scion AV’s Open Mic concert series continues tonight (February 20) in New York City with RCA/Polo Grounds recording artist A$AP Rocky headlining Brooklyn’s Public Assembly. Rocky will be joined on the bill by A$AP Ferg, Bodega Bamz, 4th Pyramid and DJ Getlive.
Lately, Southern Hip-Hop has been anything but hospitable. The beef between Young Jeezy and Gucci Mane is still on people’s minds. Lil Wayne’s current controversies over his Emmett Till lyrics and his claiming to be intimate with Chris Bosh’s wife have left many scratching their heads.
AllHipHop.com decided to look back at some of the South’s finer Hip-Hop moments by creating a list of its greatest LPs. These great pieces of work have stood the test of time, brought attention to amazing talent, and changed rap forever and for the better.
Andre 3000 once famously proclaimed, “The South got something to say,” and he was right. So, without further adieu, here are the albums that speak up the most: The 10 Greatest Southern Hip-Hop Albums of All-Time.
10). Ghetto D – Master P (1997)
It is no secret that Master P is not in the upper echelon of skilled rappers. However, this album is still very important to southern rap. On Ghetto D, more so than any other No Limit release, Percy Miller and company combine elements of East (Bad Boy’s jacking of popular tunes) and West (Death Row’s hardcore content) to create something significant for the South. And for that reason alone, it has earned a place in Hip-Hop history.
9). Back for the First Time – Ludacris (2000)
Ludacris’ first Def Jam album is actually a repackaged version of his independently released Incognegro with the addition of four new tracks. The fact that most of the music is being re-released is a testament to the quality of Luda’s material. And the added songs, especially “Southern Hospitality,” proved that the former Atlanta disc jockey could hold his own in the big leagues. In the span of thirteen years, Ludacris has clearly lived up to his potential and then some by reaching legendary status as a rapper.
The beats use live instruments instead of samples, and the lyrics come across as an audio autobiography. “Paid Dues,” for example, plays like their version of EPMD’s “Please Listen to My Demo” with the two Memphis rappers reliving their come-up in rap. When Eightball starts the second verse with, “A C-note for a concert, I know that sounds preposterous/ N***a, we didn’t have a pot to p###/ So we got on stage and rocked the b***h,” it’s hard not to be moved.
7). 400 Degreez – Juvenile (1998)
Prior to Lil Wayne’s ascent, this was the LP that all of Cash Money’s albums were compared to. And for good reason: multiplatinum sales, hit singles, original flows, and a producer, Mannie Fresh, who lived up to his name. The project also not only showcased Juvenile’s rapping talent, but also served as a stage for the rest of the label’s roster to shine as well. 400 Degreez proved that the $30 million dollar distribution deal Universal had with Cash Money was worth every penny.
6). Just Tryin’ ta Live – Devin the Dude (2002)
“Who’s That Man Moma?” finds Devin the Dude rapping about young children in the crowd at his Hip-Hop show and “Lacville ’79” has him giving props to a lemon. With these things in mind, know that Mr. Copeland takes conventional Hip-Hop topics and gives them his own personal touch with humor and honesty to a fault in 16 songs. The result is a funny, endearing, and crude collection of records that cohesively form one of the most amazing (and overlooked) albums that the Hip-Hop genre has produced.
5). Trap Muzik – T.I. (2003)
This album justifies T.I. calling himself, “King of the South.” The theme of hustling is nothing new to Hip-Hop, but T.I. explains it in such detail that the content still manages to come across as unique. And rather than glorify the trap, he encourages listeners to learn from the error of his ways. Additionally, the album’s production does an excellent job of complementing T.I.‘s delivery and supporting his claims to be, “a legend in my own time” and “a prophet in my own rhymes.”
4). Ridin’ Dirty – UGK (1996)
Bun B and Pimp C have a helluva project with Ridin’ Dirty. It masterfully combines the vibes of soul music with the gritty realities of the tough Texas streets. “One Day” is about how fragile life is, while “Murder” depicts violence at level that would even make Martin Scorsese cringe. And those are just the first two songs. By the end, it’s no surprise that this album is hailed as a classic, or that it has influenced so many emcees since its release.
3). The Fix – Scarface (2002)
During Scarface’s stint as the President of Def Jam South, he released a landmark album of his own, The Fix. On it, the veteran emcee tackles heavy themes such as spirituality, death, and artistic integrity. And to help get his messages across, he enlisted the likes of current producers Kanye West and The Neptunes for beats. The outstanding instrumentals they provided matched perfectly with Face’s baritone delivery and the songs that came forth from those sessions are some of the most thought-provoking rap records ever made.
2). The Resurrection – Geto Boys (1996)
After years apart, Scarface, Willie D, and Bushwick Bill reunited to create the strongest album in the Geto Boys’ catalogue. Lyrically, the album has a bit more of a political slant to it and the production is at a higher level than their previous work. But this is the Geto Boys, and they reassured people they were the still real deal by getting Larry Hoover [former leader of the Chicago gang called Gangster Disciples] to call from jail to be on the project.
1). Aquemini – Outkast (1998)
Aquemini is a masterpiece of an album. It’s ambitious (“SpottieOttieDopaliscious”) and it’s authentic (“Rosa Parks”). It’s jazz (“Liberation”) and it’s rock (“Chonkyfire”). And the list goes on. In every way possible, Outkast’s third album pushed the boundaries of what Hip-Hop could be and yet still sounded very rooted in Southern culture. It shouldn’t work, but it does and that is why it is nothing short of brilliant and the best Hip-Hop album to emerge from below the Mason Dixon Line.
Honorable Mentions:
Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik – Outkast (1994)
The Diary – Scarface (1994)
Word of Mouf – Ludacris (2001)
