Black History Month Fashion Tribute: Kelis
Anything goes when it come to Kelis‘ unpredictable style.
On her latest silver-ish mullet, “Oh, I dont know, I just feel like an animal. I kept thinking of a wolf or a husky and thats what they look like”.
Along with others, she herself takes the credit for being a style leader, influencing the likes of Rihanna and Cassie to make their bold hair and outfit choices.
Kelis has occasionally wowed us with more demure, sexy red carpet looks, but most of the time her ensembles are labeled as outrageous or fashion “faux-pas”.
Some of her signature looks include the (original) half shaven head, her bouncy brown afro, Etta James-esque blond locks, and of course her grill.
She joined her ex-hubby Nas on rocking the controversial “Ni**er” jacket during the 2008 Grammys.
Being pregnant did not stop Kelis from dying her hair blue and green and making bold red carpet statements:
Kelis recently infuriated PETA with this outfit choice:
Kelis’ response? If u want to preach, do it about something worthwhile dont waste my time trying to save the dang chipmunk. (via MySpace)
After PETA wrote her a letter about it, she proceeded to write a controversial response back, pointing out issues like Womens Rights, Equal Rights and most importantly, Freedom of Opinion as issues that mean more than killing rodents.
Her most recent space age meets
Check out this recent video interview of Kelis, talking about her upcoming album, Rihanna “swagger jacking” her look and more:
Hip-Hop Rumors: Is Floyd Vs. Ross Really Over? Baby Disses R. Kelly! Coco’s Booty=Haitian Relief?
DISCLAIMER:
All content within this section is pure rumor
and generally have no factual info outside of what the streets have
whispered in our ear. Read on.
THE DAILY TWO SENSE
I hope everybody had a good weekend with the Valentine’s Day with the cherry on top. Me, I just sat in the house and watched TV. But its all good. If you got any rumors from Dallas, hit me with the email…. [email protected]
FLOYD MAYWEATHER AND RICK ROSS: NO LOVE?
You know the internets were going crazy last week, right before the Valentine’s Day holiday…Rick Ross had squashed their beef! Hallelujah! But, I am hearing something a bit different. I am hearing they mostly agreed not to fight or kill each other. 50 Cent won’t soon think is pal Floyd is now befriending his enemy. From what I’ve heard Floyd has expressed a certain disdain towards Ross, feeling that the Teflon Don is using the beef for publicity purposes. Who know? Seems slightly contradictory though – if its even true.
ILLSEED’S QUICKIES
There were some rumors online that John Mayer had a supporter in Holly Robinson Pete, but that’s not true.
Shanell has denied rumors that she is preggers with Lil Wayne’s new baby.
A naked picture of Snooki has been leaked to the internet. Nothing too crazy, but it seems old. Snooki is pretty thin in the picture.
Tiger Woods and wifey Elin weren’t all snuggles on V-Day. They weren’t together, according to reports. A p### star also says that Tiger got her preggers two times.
Evander’s wife opted to go to marital counseling instead of sending him to jail and divorcing him.
Did Wale depart or get dropped from Interscope?
Jon B – the original Robin Thicke – has signed a new deal with a major, I am hearing.
People are killin’ the “We Are The World” 2010 version. Autotune should never been an epic song like that.
SIGNS THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END
Nadja Benaissa, a German singer, is now facing about 10 years in jail, because she slept with men after finding out she had the HIV. At first she was going to escape prosecution, but one of her ex’s tested positive for the virus and they to drop the hammer on her. Initially, when this story broke, the high court was cool with letting her slide a lil bit…nevermind the fact that she could go and sex more people! She’s now looking at a 10 year stretch. I think she should be allowed out of jail until she “dries up.”
CHANCE ENCOUNTERS
NO LOVE FOR “WE ARE THE WORLD 25“?
If you’re part of my Facebook/Twitter family you know I wasn’t happy with “We Are The World” at all. When Wayne started “singing” it was over but when LL started “rapping” it was DEAD. Doesn’t look like Jay was digging it much either. Hov, who declined to be a part of the record said the song is like Thriller and should never be touched.
NO LOVE FOR KELLZBaby is one of the best businessmen in Hip-Hop and ever since he brought Cash Money to Universal with an unprecedented $30 million dollar distribution deal his money tree hasn’t stopped growing. However he isn’t immune to bad investments and claims working with R Kelly was his worst move to date. When asked about their Best Of Both Worlds 2 project that, never materialized after Kellz re-upped with Jay-Z, Baby says:
“That was a waste of my time. I could’ve made money if I wasn’t fu**in’ with that clown-ass ni**a.
NEW COUPLE???Nahhhhh…not this time. This is a still from Monica’s new video “Everything To Me” featuring Ocho Cinco.
Check out Ocho getting a little groupie when Lil Wayne calls him:
I’M JUST SAYIN’Magic Johnson is looking to buy Ebony Magazine…get that mula, Magic.Did you know Lil Wayne hasn’t used syrup in almost a year??? So he claims…but if it’s true *cheers* to him.
Drake’s Sprite commercial grossed me out.It went down after a Beyonce show in Brazil last week when some young locals had a shoot-out after the show. Don’t know if anyone got hurt.
Rihanna will be starring in her first feature film “About Face” … granted she can actually learn how to act. (Seriously they’re making her take acting classes)Money Mayweather flipped on a bouncer at Diddy’s party this weekend because they wouldn’t let him in with his 20+ entourage.
LMAO at Ushers outfit for his All-Star performance … Fabolous says he looks like a “gay urban batman”:
HAITIAN RELIEFIce-T’s in-house snow bunny, CoCo, took some time out to show Haiti some love … after all they’ve been through this is a nice show of support. Peep how she turned the cell-phone into a logo.
PEACE – CHANCECDR @ TWITTER FACEBOOK & GMAILCOCO, WE LOVE YOU!!!
They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about
them then they should worry!

On Lil Wayne, Jail Time, Private Time, and Public Time
This language
is so captivating/ When we lose a rap ni**a, the news is devastating/ Whether
to the prison or grave/ You know this rap sh** was built from the strength of
those that hunger and crave/
DJ Muggs vs GZA,
General Principles, Grandmasters
(2007).
Im not a Lil Wayne fan. I used to hate
his music. I dont anymoreI stopped listening. But it still takes nothing away
from how sorry I think Im starting to feel for him. And it has very little to
do with the jail time trailing this oral
surgery scheme. I cant verify if the month-long postponement recently
afforded him is legitimate on legal grounds, and as the victim of a recent (botched)
oral surgery Im a bit more sympathetic than the average anti-Weezy Hip-Hop
fan. I do know, however, that if most of the people I know tried to push off
their incarceration date as he just didand especially under the guise of teeth
pain (which could have been resolved much sooner)the judge, bailiff, state
lawyers, and security guards present would probably break into laughter
unrivaled in court history.
Nonetheless, I cant help but lament how
much of a downward spiral his life journey has taken in only the past few
years. Once the teeny-bopper bragging about his bling bling, today most of
his music is indecipherable, if not plain eccentricand not in a good way. And
here lies the problem. It seems some have convinced Lil Wayneor he did so
without helpthat he is something other than what the public can ever comprehend;
that he has some esoteric personality worth pursuing (even if leading toward
self-ruin); that Aristotle was speaking of him in professing, No great genius
has ever existed without some touch of madness.
I think The GZA is a lyrical genius (and
the greatest complex storyteller Hip-Hop has produced to-date), but I dontand
Im not expecting tosee him embracing eccentricity as some fashionable
lifestyle. And you hardly get those vibes from equally great acts like Rakim, Nas,
KRS-One and Lauryn Hill (well, maybe a little). All Hip-Hop artists have a
little bit of crazy in themits become increasingly necessary in a world where
major record labels are all too happy in promoting dangerously identical
products. So, Lil Waynes problem is
more than that.
Some would contend immediately its the
syrup (codeine/promethazine). But Bun B has been drinking it for just as long
as Wayne to my knowledge, and, last I checked, the Texas Underground King faced
no hurdles articulating his feelings presciently during interviews. But what
about the other drugs, you ask? If drug tests were mandatory in Hip-Hop, 95% of
commercial rappers wouldnt advance past the first round. So, drugs are just an
amplifierof an already established trauma. His early fame and success is a
more accurate guess. Or, as Jerry Seinfeld recently put it in an interview, Its
not fameits you.
Life for the young New Orleanian took a
sharp twist at a very young age. The implications cannot be overlooked. Perhaps
his less-than-mature brain couldnt handle the pressures of the music industry
(most adults cant), and even though once nearly invisible, this tumor has
grown in size incrementally since his debut as a Hip-Hop artist. Very few child
starsand Lil Wayne is onegrow up normal, or with any semblance of sanity.
The wild ways of the entertainment industry simply bear down hard, and
unexpectedly, on such kids. Is Lil Wayne merely a victim of early fame?
There are also personal background
issues that come to mind, but I respect his privacy enough not to publicly diagnose
them without permissionplus Im no psychologist.
What I can say, however, with certainty
is that one of Hip-Hops most belovedfor multiple reasonsartists faces a
dilemma that calls for, at the very least, some sympathy. This is not to
suggest Ill be in some monkey suite (Free Lil Wayne T-shirt) anytime soon. And
if I know anything of the prison system and its dealings with celebrities, this
one-year bid might be more rewarding than a palm springs vacation; but its
unfortunate to have so many other starslike Shyne, like T.I., like Tupac, like
Mystical, like John Forté, like DMXrailed off to jail cells at the apex of
their careers. I dont know the details of Waynes charges (nor do I want to),
and its possible he simply took the fall for someone else; its even possible
the whole operation was a set-up (wake up, Hip-Hop!).
But on March 2, barring another medical emergency, TV cameras would have a field day running repeated loops of this
young Black man being herded into a location where many who look like him have
been placed in permanently.
So, this could be a redemptive moment
for Lil Wayne. He can emerge a victor and pledge a new course following the
8-months to 1-year bid. He can use this opportunity for some much-needed
self-reflection and soul-searching upon his life, his achievements, his
happiness, his sorrows. He can ask himself some very blunt questionsif those
around him care more about their connection to celebrity than the wellbeing of
the guy who keeps their pockets deep; if he has true friends or merely
acquaintances; if his music today sounds like he dreamed before anyone even
knew he rapped. He can make good use of this moment to help bring overlong due
attention to the disproportionate dumping of Black and Latino men and women into
modern-day plantationsfor crimes many of their White counterparts earn mere
wrist-slaps.
It would have been a wasted and
unfortunate publicity stunt if all we hear from him post-incarceration is how
much of a man he now is, how gangsta the prison culture is, or, worse yet,
that the guy who went in is the same guy coming out.
Im no moralist, so I dont claim to
know whats best for anyone. But kidsin the millionsare looking up to Lil
Wayne as he takes this next turn in the journey of life. Young middle school
and high school kids are patiently waiting to hear him confirm their unhealthy
expectations. They want badly to see their hero stare down this wall and act
tougher than Iron Mike even when his whole world is collapsing around. They
long for the day when he walks out of prison even more maniacal and unstable
than he already is.
My fear is he knows all this, and is
prepared to cater accordingly. Unfortunately, not all eccentricity is genius.
And, more sobering, even the eccentric geniuses are not death-proof. Remember Russell
Tyrone Jones?

NY Court Says Flavor Flav Owes Over $63k in Back Child Support
Public Enemy hypeman turned reality TV star Flavor Flav (William Drayton, Jr.) will soon answer charges that he owes $63,458.00 in back child support to the mother of three of his children.
According to the Albany County Child Support Collection Division, Mary Parker originally had an agreement in place since 1996 that covered the former couple’s two children at the time. However, Parker moved to have the agreement amended in July 2008 after the birth of a third child.
She was successful with an appeal last month, and a judge ordered Flavor Flavs weekly payment of $117 increased to $837.72, along with requirements to cover private school tuition fees dating back to the original 2008 amendment filing.
Flav, who celebrates his 51st birthday next month, explained that he will contest the order on the grounds that hes made payments to his childrens mother beyond the court decreed amount.
“The judgment is recent as I was just made aware of it,” Flav stated to the NY Post. “I’ll certainly be addressing it. However, I’ve made payments on my children’s tuition, and have made direct payment to the mother outside of the court order.”
Since finding success on several VH1 reality shows (Surreal Life, Strange Love, Flavor of Love) in the mid 2000s, Flavor Flav has been attacked by several family members for alleged financial abandonment.
In January 2009, a daughter accused him of bring a bad parent for reneging on a promise to pay for her final semester of college, and only seeing her one week out the year.
Karen Ross-Fortunate, another mother of three of Flavs children, went public in stating the Public Enemy member did not financially support his children, in particular their eldest sons college tuition expenses.
Flav has seven children, the last being a boy named Karma born in 2007.
At press time, Flavor Flavs Albany County child support case does not have a court date.
Five Hip-Hop Love Songs To Warm Your Heart
When one thinks of sensual music for that romantic get away, rap songs are usually the last thing that comes to mind.
Throughout the years rap music has been labeled misogynistic and unfriendly towards women.
Since Sunday (February 14) is Valentine’s Day, I decided to run down five of Hip-Hop’s best “love songs.”
While this list may not change anyone’s views about the attitudes towards women and rap, it does highlight the variety of subjects that rappers talk about when it comes to love.
Whether it’s guns, a woman, or love for their extended crew members, rappers have covered the topic of love with passion and innovation.
1. One Love – Whodini – 1986
This song was among Hip-Hops first crossover love songs, coming from a credible group. The song was featured on Whodinis Back in Black album, which was certified platinum behind hits like Funky Beat and One Love. In the first verse of One Love, the groups MCs, Ecstasy and Jalil both deliver verses that express their love for a particular woman and how they have been lucky in love.
There’s no one way, it can be explained/I guess it’s the way I smile, when I hear your name/It’s the little things that you do, that mean so much/It’s the care that you put, into every touch, Ecstasy raps.
On the second verse, the group focuses on losing love, something that every human being can relate to. Ecstasy loses his girl, thinking that he can buy her love, while Jalil breaks a womans heart, as well as his own, due to his infidelity. On the third and final verse, the pair trade off lines and express their thoughts about love in a tender manner, unfamiliar to most rappers of the day. And the video for the song is absolutely vintage 1980s, from the open shirts, to the dance steps. One of my favorite Hip-Hop songs.
2. One Love – Nas – 1994
One Love was featured on Nas debut release Illmatic, thats totally different from Whodinis. On Nas version of One Love he teams with Tribe Called Quest front man Q-Tip, who crafted an amazing, fearless track out of a sample by jazz greats, The Heath Brothers. And Nas rises to the occasion. Through his lyrics, you realize that the stressed out rapper is writing a letter to a friend named Born, who is locked up in prison for an unknown transgression.
Nas poetry and lyrical abilities are displayed in full glory on this track, through a number of clever lyrics that paint a vivid picture for the listener.
No time for looking back it’s done/Plus congratulations you know you got a son/I heard he looks like you, why don’t your lady write you?/Told her she should visit, that’s when she got hyper/Flippin, talk about he acts too rough/He didn’t listen he be riffin’ while I’m telling him stuff /I was like yeah, shorty don’t care, she a snake too/****** with the n****s from that fake crew that hate you/But yo, guess who got shot in the dome-piece?/Jerome’s niece, on her way home from Jones Beach/
Before the song ends, Nas shows some love and passes a dose of street knowledge to a 12-year-old who is smoking with him in the Queensbridge projects in Queens, New York.
3. I Need Love – LL Cool J – 1987
This is probably by far, rap musics best known love song. Although it was released in 1987 on the album Bigger and Deffer, the song continues to have legs on the radio and on various video shows. LL Cool Js song has the mushiest lyrics out of the majority of the rap songs, but it hit its 16-year-old female audience with laser like precision, upon its release as the second single from the album in 1987.
You can scratch my back, we’ll get cozy and huddle/I’ll lay down my jacket so you can walk over a puddle/I’ll give you a rose, pull out your chair before we eat/kiss you on the cheek and say ooh girl you’re so sweet/It’s deja vu whenever I’m with you/I could go on forever telling you what I do, LL raps.
When the song came out, like Whodini, the hardcore crowd accepted the track, simply because LL Cool J is an excellent rapper with a penchant for battling and dismantling his opponents. Because of his hardcore roots, LL had no problem showing his softer side to his female fans.
I need your ruby red lips sweet face and all/I love you more than a man who’s 10 feet tall/I’d watch the sunrise in your eyes/we’re so in love when we hug we become paralyzed, a smitten LL Cool J rhymes.
Throughout the course of his career, LL became famous for delivering a good party record in addition to female friendly songs like Around the Way Girl, Hey Lover and Doin it.
Those female fans and millions more still follow LL Cool J, as he has a starring role on CBS runaway hit series NCIS: Los Angeles.
4. Tupac – Me and My Girlfriend – 1996
This creative track was featured on Tupacs amazing album Makaveli – The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory Album, which has sold in excess of 5 million copies in the United States alone.
Jay-Z and Beyonce remade this track in on the song 03 Bonnie & Clyde, but their version was nothing like the original. Tupacs girlfriend was blacker than night and was 45 years old. These are both references to a woman, but it has double meaning as his girlfriend is really the gun on his side.
I knew deep inside/baby girl would always be mine/Picked you up when you was nine, started out my life of crime wit you, bought you some shells when you turned twenty-two/It’s true, nothin compares to the satisfaction/that I feel when we out mashin me and my girlfriend, the late rapper rhymes.
Tupac further expresses his love for his gun later in the verse and by the third verse, he is metaphorically making love to the weapon before ending his rhymes with the lines:
Much love to my one and only girlfriend, the world is ours/Just hold me down, baby witness the power/Never leave a n***a alone, I love you black or chrome/Turn this house into a happy home”5. Truly Yours – Kool G. Rap – 1989
This song deals with the painful side of love, delivered through the genius of one of raps most gifted orators and lyricists, Kool G. Rap. On this song, Kool G. Rap is upset over the treatment he received from one of his ex-girlfriends. The woman must have been something to look at, at one point, but by the end of the song, you realize that G. Raps former flame is just an empty shell of her former self. And unfortunately, Kool G. Rap spends a lot of time pointing these faults out to the woman and her new boyfriend during the song. This track has all the ingredients for a perfect rap song. It was featured on G. Raps groundbreaking album Road to the Riches and was produced by legendary beat smith Marley Marl.
You wanted to leave because you didn’t believe that I would achieve/Cause you had something up your sleeve/Perhaps you might have thought I’m a dreamer with a fat head/Now you’re stuck with a baby from a crack head/Come to my shows, you want to check to see if I wreck it/The only record your man got is a jail record.
Ouch.
The verse directed towards the womans boyfriend is so offense, that the lyrics cannot be reprinted, even though the entire verse actually light on curse words.
On the third verse, Kool G. Rap returns to badmouthing his ex and even has some predictions for her future, which is basically doomed in the gangster rappers eyes.
Yo, you used to tell me all the time that you would be a model/Later in life, you’re living in a crack bottle/So when you’re begging on your knees because I’m clocking G’s/You’ll be in zero degrees getting processed cheese
This is a great song to innocently mouth off to, when you want to be a gangster rapper and have had your heart broken.
Hopefully everyone is finding love for Valentines Day 2010. Stay warm!

Valentines Day: The 6 Degrees of Love
Beyond the long stemmed roses, boxes of chocolates and historical ties to pagan fertility hoopla, you will find that the true meaning of Valentine’s Day is still embedded around love. Yes February 14th is upon us and thus will be a momentous occasion for all of those smitten couples floating on cloud nine. Love also dwells in the hearts of many of your favorite Hip-Hop acts. As fans weve watched them hit the red carpets together, and rooted for their success whenever the paparazzi managed to snag a photo showcasing their affections. Some of these couples made us laugh while others pulled on our emotional senses in confusion over miss matched items. Most were gossip worthy and had their moment under the limelight whether short or long lived.
Unfortunately the promise of happily ever after has not lasted for a few couples within the culture. The pressure of maintaining superstar roles sometimes can take a negative toll on these relationships. Living the fast life may lead to worldly temptations that can lead anyone astray or in the dust. These couples have endured scrutiny due to love, lust and lies and the result has manufactured an interesting spider web of s###. Perhaps an examination of those celebrities who did not stand the test of time is often needed to makes those who are still intact appreciate what they have as a unit.
Six degrees of separation (or in this case togetherness) is the theory that anyone on the planet can be connected to any other person on the planet through a chain of acquaintances that has no more than five intermediaries. Lets explore the journey of this connection through the burned out relationships hip hop has produced. The nucleus of Hip-Hops relationship shortcomings could have very easily been any platinum selling rap star. Alas every story has a beginning so lets start with the man who profoundly once boasted Me give my heart to a woman, not for nothing never happen I be forever mackin yet today is proudly married.
Jay-Z is married to Beyonce who is managed by her father Mathew Knowles is now getting divorced from his wife Tina Knowles after 30 long years. The Knowles also have a daughter named Solange. Solange use to be married to Daniel Smith but that quickly fizzed out. Beyonce use to be in the group Destinys Child where LeToya Luckett originated. Ms. Luckett use to date Slim Thug, but I guess he just didnt want to put a ring on it. Beyonce also use to date Marques Houston. Hova use to be business partners with Dame Dash and both have links to Aaliyah. Dash is now divorced from fashion designer Rachel Roy. Recent headlines are printing that Foxy now admits to an affair with Jay as well. If you remember the crazed lyrics to the song Super Ugly than Im sure youll recall that Jay also had a short lived romp with Carmen Bryan. Carmen has a daughter with rapper Nas. Nas married and divorced Kelis and Kelis got paid.
Jay is friends with many within the industry, among them is his pal Kanye West. The Louie Vuitton Don was one time engaged to Alexis Phifer before meeting up with the medias new favorite whooty Amber Rose. Kanye gave Common a deal with his imprint G.O.O.D. Music and Common use to date Erykah Badu. Erykah Badu was with Andre 3000 back in the day and had us all asking, What are they wearing? Jay signed Rihanna to Def Jam. who dated Chris Brown and we all know how that fiasco turned out. However these two were not the only troubled couple that was plagued by domestic abuse. Many may recall when Mary J Blige and K-C from Jodeci were the unpleasant talk around town.
Mary J & CB both have worked with Lil Wayne who married his high school sweetheart Toya then broke up. Toya has the BET reality TV show Tiny& Toya. Tiny use to be in the R&B group Xscape with Candy who went separate ways from her fiancé AJ right before tragedy struck. Tiny is now with TI who signed Young Dro who dated Fantasia for the last two years. The cause of death was too much ghetto fabulousness.
Jay was a friend to one of the greatest rappers to ever hold a mic, the Notorious Big. Biggie used to be married to Faith Evans who did the song Kiss the Girls with Eric Benet who is divorced from Halle Berry and checked into sex rehab long before Tiger. Im sure many admirers are still asking to this day, How does any man cheat on Halle Berry? Jay Z and Diddy can both be linked in various ways. Whether music, business, or charities the scandalous result lies around hip hops most famous jump off Karrine Superhead Steffens. Puff also signed Biggie who outside of his wife had numerous encounters with female rappers Lil Kim and Charlie Baltimore. Lil Kim worked with and was rumored to date Ray J. Ray J use to date Kim Kardashian, which spawned one heck of a sex tape. Ray J is songstress Brandys brother. Brandy use to be with producer Robert Smith and Kobe. Ray J was with Whitney who use to ride or die for Bobby Brown. Ray J also was with Superhead who was with many more, and I do mean many including the aforementioned Bobby Brown and Shaquille ONeal. Shaq being in the NBA has naturally played against Chris Webber who use to date Tyra Banks. Tyra Banks is best friends with Kimora Simmons who use to be married to Russell of course.
Biggies fling Charlie B-more would later become affiliated to Irv Gottis Murder Inc and become label mates with Ashanti. Ashanti possibly dated her boss and definitely called Nelly her boo, but after a long court ship the carriage turned back into a pumpkin. Murder Incs biggest star was none other than singing/rapping artist Ja Rule. His career nose-dived once a feud was ignited with Curtis Jackson. Young Buck use to be on G-Unit and dated the still standing Monica. 50 dated then embarrassed Vivica Fox then it was onto the next with Ciara. Ciara went form being this stars back up dancer to being his first puppy love as she dated Bow Wow. Bow Wow was discovered by Jermaine Dupri who dated Janet Jackson prior and after the infamous Super Bowl showcase. 50 Cent once said his guns were bigger than Lil Bow Wow.
Since they cant stop / wont stop let continue with the Bad Boy umbrella. Stevie J who was apart of Diddys production team the Hitmen, use to be gaga over the pitbull in a skirt Eve. Eve was label mates with DMX who was married to Tashera who with stood major public ridicule before finally being disrespected enough to throw in the towel. Also Swizz Beats was a part of the Ruff Ryders crew. Swizz Beatz was married to Mashonda but shattered her world by leaving her for Alicia Keys. Alicia co-starred in the movie The Secret Life of Bees with Queen Latifah. Back in the hey day, Queen Latifah used to mentor Naughty by Nature which leads us to Treach who was married and divorced from Pepa. Peps looking for love in a reality show now.
Back down south we can remember that Jermaine Dupri wrote some smash hits for Mariah who was linked to Eminem but is now married to Nick Cannon. Nick Cannon use to date Christina Millian and Christina Millian now is married to The Dream. The Dream use to be married to Nivea. Nivea dated and birthed a son for Weezy. Lil Wayne was also with rapper Trina and Lauren London, who also bore him a son. JD has also written classics for Usher. Usher did the song Love in the Club featuring Young Jeezy who was once known to be dating Keyshia Cole. Usher was signed to LaFace early in his singing career. Kenneth Babyface Edmonds called it quits with his wife Traci Edmonds who buried herself in Eddie Murphys arms.
Before Usher was ready to sign those papers with Tameka Foster he openly dated TLC member Chilli and had the world shaking their heads at his supposed confessions. Chillis band mate is T-Boz who was with Mac 10. Chilli also was bitten by the acting bug in the 90s and did House Party 3 with Bernie Mac. Bernie did the Players Club with Lisa Ray McCoy. Lisa Raye had a lavish wedding to Premier Misick but the romance was shattered boldly by 106 & Parks host Rocsi. Rocsi was the new school replacement for the original host Free this leads us back to the flame that ignited this whirlwind discussion. Free was rumored to have had a thing with Jay-Z which brings us full circle.
Happy Valentines Day!
Baby Speaks on Cash Moneys Expansion into the Oil Industry
Bryan Baby Williams, co-CEO of Cash Money Records, has made his first public statement on reports last month on the labels foray into the oil and natural gas industries.
As first reported on AllHipHop.com, Cash Money opened a website for Bronald Oil & Gas, an independent company focused on finding and utilizing oil and gas reserves in North and Central America.
In an interview with Ozone Magazine, Williams revealed that he also has his own oil company, and that hes been involved in the business for close to 5 years.
Ive been in the oil business about 4 or 5 years now. Thats something me and my brother decided to do outside of music, Baby explained. I read about oil a lot and I was able to get in business. [My company] is called Browner Oil, and Im making good money off that; thats something for my kids and my kids kids. They can live off that money forever.
The Bronald Oil & Gas company has been looking for investors to expand drilling opportunities that are both environmentally safe and lucrative.
With new albums from Drake and Nicki Minaj under development, and music to be released from Lil Wayne while he serves a 1 year jail sentence, Baby admitted that his oil business has not gotten as much attention as he would prefer.
But with the return hes had on it to date, Williams plans to put more resources into the project.
I did a few different deals. That was just one of them. When youre dealing with oil, you buy in different areas, Baby detailed. Right now Im active; I got pumps and s### that are getting money monthly. I like that oil s###. Im gonna put some more time into it.

Police Raid X-Raided’s Jail Cell; Phone, MP3 Recorder Discovered
(AllHipHop News) Pleasant Valley State Prison officials recently raided the jail cell of incarcerated X-Raided and found a digital cell phone and a WAV/MP3 recorded in his possession.
X-Raided, born Anerae Brown, was arrested and convicted along with four others, for the 1992 murder of a rival gang members mother.
Lyrics from his 1995 album Xorcist were used against him during his trial, resulting in his conviction of gang related homicide in 1996.
He was sentenced to 31-years in prison. His contraband was discovered after a state employed laundry room supervisor was accused of smuggling contraband into the prison.
A confidential informant told officials of the contraband in the rappers jail cell.
Prison guards found a Roland R-09HR WAV/MP3 Recorded hidden insides an Arts in Corrections Keyboard.
They also found a Nokia cell phone, a charger and an extra battery hidden inside of two typewriter cartridges.
Inmates are found in possession of phones on a regular basis and it is not a crime, but a minor infraction, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitations rules and regulations, an issue that prison officials are presently working hard to change.
“Its a big problem for us (CDCR) with budget cuts and furlough days, having state employees willing to being inmates contraband for money. Its happening now more than ever, a prison guard stated under the condition of anonymity.
Over the years, Brown has managed to release dozens of albums from prison, including The Unforgiven Volume 1: In The Beginning.
In 1999, a prison guard at the Salinas Valley State Prison was eventually fired for his role in smuggling recording equipment in for Brown.
In late 2008, X-Raided announced he would be releasing a new series of Unforgiven mixtapes, along with another full length album titled Eternally Unforgiven.
Omarion Cites Spirtual Reasons For Not Celebrating Valentines Day
(AllHipHop News) As thoughts turn to flowers, chocolates, balloons, cards and romance with someone special for many people this weekend, Valentines Day will be just another day in the life for Omarion.
The former B2K frontman, whose music may supply the soundtrack for lovers on Sunday (Feb. 14), revealed that the special day of love is not on his radar. According to Omarion, holidays in general are not observed at all by him.
I actually dont celebrate any of the holidays, said the singer/actor, who cited spiritual reasons for his refusal to acknowledge the special days of the year. ..its more a spiritual thing. I have to go with my conscience. I just decided not involve myself in Pagan holidays.
Omarions views echo many who list Valentines Day, along with Christmas and Easter, as a holiday with pagan roots.
According to History.com, the official website of The History Channel, while some believe Valentine’s Day is celebrated in the middle of February to commemorate the anniversary of Valentine’s death or burial which probably occurred around 270 A.D others claim that the Christian church may have decided to celebrate Valentine’s feast day in the middle of February in an effort to ‘Christianize’ celebrations of the pagan Lupercalia festival.
The site further notes that in Roman times, February was regarded as a time of purification as well as the official beginning of Spring.
It wasnt until the Middle Ages when the day of romance concept for the middle of February took form. This was further enhanced by a common belief among those in France and England that February 14 was the beginning of the mating season for birds.
Omarions perception of holidays comes as he confessed to taking steps to become a Jehovahs Witness.
Despite classifying his denomination as being Christian, the entertainer expressed a desire to explore the other religion.
Ive been studying to be a Jehovah witness, he said. I am not baptized yet; so I cant technically call myself a Jehovah witness yet. But I have been studying.”
Musically, Omarion is focused on promoting his latest album, Ollusion. The album, which features rapper Gucci Mane and Marques Houston, comes as the singer replaced hip-hop choreographer Shane Sparks as a judge on the fifth season of MTVs Americas Best Dance Crew.

Hammer Ordered to Pay for Breaking Marketing Contract
(AllHipHop News) MC Hammer has been ordered by pay on a 7-year old default judgment after failing to convince a judge of a court error.
Hammer, real name Stanley Burrell, was sued by the owners of PacketSwitch.com for defaulting on a contract to market the company.
The Oakland rapper fought the claim on the grounds that his role was never more than a shareholder. He testified to U.S. District Judge Jeremy Fogel that his one appearance at a shareholder meeting resulted in one of the plaintiffs, Robert Icho, allegedly flashing a gun.
Although the plaintiffs originally won a judgment in June 2003, Hammer was never made aware of the court decree because of a typo in his name.
Instead of being listed as MC Hammer aka Stanley Burrell, the legal documents recorded him as MC Hammer aka Stanley Berrell.
On these grounds, Hammer requested a dismissal since he was never served notice, which would have allowed the opportunity to contest the lawsuit.
Judge Fogel denied the request, stating the defendant obviously had the ability to consult with counsel if he had any questions as to his legal situation.
PacketSwith.com was also dogged by suspicion of unethical business practices. Before going out of business, the company was subjected to an investigative audit by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The amount of the default judgment against the rapper was not disclosed.
At press time, MC Hammer could not be reached for comment.
The Last Word: R.Kelly’s New Closet, Mel B’s Lollipops, Jamie Foxx Helps Kids!
Greetings everybody! (I see you Jill). The week has come and gone with the cold weather continuing to smother the East coast with snow, former President Bill Clinton being in good spirits after entering the hospital Thursday for chest pain and all eyes are on Lidnsey Vonn and her bruised right shin as the Winter Olympics kick off tonight in Vancouver.
Shout out to the New Orleans Saints for making history with coming out on top after making their first appearance at the Super Bowl and the sounding boards for making sure that Valentines Day is everyday for the people they love.
Enough of all that. Lets get to the Last Word for the week ending Feb. 12, 2010.
1. Kelly Price Reveals Fear of Revisiting Homeless Past
With a successful solo career that includes collaborations with Mariah Carey, P. Diddy, Whitney Houston, Deborah Cox and Tamia, Kelly Price has done well for herself.
And while many stars get big headed from all the accolades and fan adoration, Price remains down to earth by remembering a time where things were much different from the nice lifestyle she currently lives. A time that involved not having a place to live during her childhood.
“I remember being homeless and sleeping in my mothers car when I was four years old, Price shared with Elev8.com. I remember my mother would go to family members on my dads side and ask can my sisters and I stay with them. I remember my mother bundling us up in coats with tears in her eyes and taking us to sleep in the car.”
Fortunately for us, Prices singing voice provided a way out of her homeless surroundings as she found success with her hit single Friend of Mine. But despite being in a better situation and living much better, the fear of being homeless remained present and prevented her from enjoying the fruits of her labor.
“As an adult, I have to be honest and say that theres not much that Im afraid of. But I work the way that I do because I have a bit of fear of homelessness. I have to believe God to deliver me from that,” the songstress said. “I have such a vivid memory of being homeless. I remember I would not get my nails or hair done unless I had a show because I felt like it was money that did not need to be spent,” says Price. “Im talking about Kelly Price, The Soul of a Woman record. I would have to give myself a reason to go to the mall and shop. I dont splurge shop. I have too much in my closet to spend money on clothes.”
Thank goodness for being able to rise above her plight. Price is currently working with Tamia and Cox on their album, The Queen Project. Look for that project to hit stores this year.
2. Jamie Foxx Keeps Musical Dreams Alive With Donated Instruments
He may be able to blame things on the alcohol, but let it be said that Jamie Foxx will not let the youth of today blame their lack of musical skill on a lack of instruments.
The singer/actor was able to bring a bit of harmony to 16 high schools around the country as he helped presented a variety of new instruments to students on Tuesday (Feb. 9) at Walt Disney Concert Hall. Valued at $500,000, the instruments included violins, flutes, saxophones, clarinets, French horns, trumpets and drums.
The presentation stuck a personal nerve for Foxx, who confessed to students that he started his entertainment career as a classical pianist. The stint ultimately netted the actor/singer a scholarship to study the instrument in college.
“That allowed me to come to L.A. and work on my craft,” Foxx said as he retraced his evolution from acting and comedy to his Oscar winning role as Ray Charles in the critically-acclaimed biopic Ray.
According to the Associated Press, the presentation was part of the Fidelity FutureStage program, an effort by the investment firm to enrich arts education in public schools by providing instruments, specialized training by professional musicians, and a chance for aspiring artists to perform with renowned orchestras such as the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Boston Pops.
Seeing the impact of Fidelitys efforts, Foxx hopes other companies will follow the firms lead in keeping the dreams of aspiring musicians alive.
“Even if a kid is not going to be the greatest musician in the world, just the fact that you gave him something, the fact that you said, ‘Hey, I care about you,’ that’s what it’s about,” the entertainer said.
3. Jordin Sparks and Estelle Enter the Jewelry Business
Fresh off of sharing studio time with musical all-stars in the We Are the World remake, Jordin Sparks is continuing her charitable ways by making a fashion statement in the name of a good cause. Hollyscoop.com reports the former American Idol winner has collaborated with Pennyroyal Silver creator and designer Tim Foster to create her own necklace deign for the company. Included in the jewelry will be the Japanese inscription Suki Desu, which means I love.
The necklace, which is available on pennyroyalsilver.com, is priced at $125. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the jewelry will fund mobile medical units in Haiti.
“I am so excited to be working with Pennyroyal Silver on this project! Suki Desu means I like or the more casual form of I love in Japanese. I really like this phrase and it inspired the drawing, said Sparks, who revealed another message that appears on her creation. On the back it says, I’m M.A.D., Are You? Just my way of encouraging you to do something positive to help someone else. 30% of the proceeds from the sale of this pendant will go to Sparks Charities to fund mobile medical clinics in Haiti. So technically, by purchasing this pendant you are M.A.D.!
Sparks isnt the only singer getting into the jewelry biz. According to reports, London born singer/songwriter Estelle has aligned with Rachel Roy to create a capsule jewelry collection exclusively for the Rachel Rachel Roy brand, a division of Jones Apparel Group.
Look for the limited edition, limited quantity collection to include necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings. Price for the items will range from $34 to $195.The collection, which w will be available at Macys.com and Rachelroy.com, will be available for purchase beginning in March.
4. Groove Theory Prepares to Get Its Groove Back
Looks like Sades isnt the only music veteran making a return. The folks at SoulSummer.com state that 90s R&B duo Groove Theory is reuniting for another musical run.
The groups return was confirmed by Czar Entertainment executive Jimmy Henchmen Rosemond, who revealed that members Amel Larrieux and Bryce Wilson are making their reemergence official with a new album.
Its going well, Rosemond said. They havent worked together in so long, and like most groups that break up, theyve come into their own, so its almost like sharing that spotlight again, but its coming along. Im excited.
For those that dont know, Groove Theory came on the scene in 1995 with their classic hit single, Tell Me. The success of the RIAA gold certified song paved the way for the groups self-titled debut, which included the follow-singles Keep Trying and Baby Luv. After a couple of soundtrack appearances Never Enough on Love Jones in March of 1996 and Its Alright on Sunset Park that Aprilthe group drifted apart with Larrieux pursuing a solo career and Wilson unsuccessfully replacing the songstress with Makeda Davis.
Once Groove Theory officially split in 2001 after its sophomore album was shelved, Wilson continued his work as a producer with collaborations with Mary J. Blige, Beyonce, Amerie and Toni Braxton to his credit as well as a string of acting roles.
Now that the original Groove Theory line up is whole again, Rosemond believes new music will arrive fairly soon.
In about two months, real light promo through the Internet and see how radio and people react to it, he said.
5. R. Kelly Confesses to Having More Trapped in the Closet Capers
Just when you think everything has been brought to light in R. Kellys Trapped in the Closet series, the pied piper of R&B has more in store
In a recently released video, Kells reveals the Trapped series is far from over. In fact, the crooner is just waiting to unleash the next round of chapters in a series that centers around the aftermath of a one night stand and the drama, lies and capers that follow.
“I just finished up 15 chapters,” Kelly said in the video. “I need to know if this is what you want from me. Ya’ll let me know because I’m ready…”
Although I did enjoy the first round of Trapped in the Closet saga, I have to take a page out of the Saturday Night Live Playbook and ask “Really R. Kelly?!”
Is this really artistic creativity or a true case of stuck on stupid progression not regression? Really? Dont be fooled, though. I probably will listen and check out the videos to these chapters. But really. Im just sayin.
In Other Words
Former Chappelles Show cast member Charlie Murphy is bringing is stand up comedy act into your home with the release of his first live performance DVD, I Will Not Apologize. The Image Entertainment video is slated to hit stores on Tuesday (Feb. 16).
Two years after cutting a rug on Dancing With the Stars, Toni Braxton is returning to reality TV with a show of her own. Although details are slim at this time, the series, titled Braxton Family Values, will debut this fall and feature the six-time Grammy winner and her family.
Musically, Braxtons new album, Pulse, will hit stores on May 10.
Former Destinys Child member Michelle Williams has utilized her vocal talents to help a terminally ill youngster. The singer fulfilled the wish of Sam Campbell by recording a song he wrote, titled Make It Last. According to reports, Campbell suffers from a brain defect known as Chiari Malformation.
According to Williams, the tune was an impressive display of Campbells ability to create something worth singing on. Sams song is really good! I wasnt writing like that at the age of 15, she told OK magazine. I have to step my game up, for real!
No doubt. Melanie Brown has her fair share of admirers who are sweet on her. Now, the former Spice Girl can capitalize on that with lollipops she had a hand in creating. Media sources report Brown designed two new couture pops for the online candy store SugarFactory.com. The lollipops, called Purple Passion and Lilac Swirl, feature jeweled sticks
With her new lollipops, the entertainer joins fellow SugarFactory pop creators Kim Kardashian, Britney Spears and the Pussycat Dolls, who each have their own candy brands.
As we continue to enjoy the music on Alicia Keys latest album, The Element of Freedom, she has already moved on to the next project. WENN reports that Keys has plans to exercise her love of collaborations while voicing a desire to get in the studio with Grammy winning rock group Kings of Leon and Paper Planes singer/songwriter M.I.A.
“Working with other people is definitely something I want to do more of. I love it a lot. It takes me out of my element into a whole other world, said Keys. “I’d love to collaborate with Kings of Leon and M.I.A. I think would be crazy.”

EXCLUSIVE: C-Murder Says Young Trump Not His Son; Doesn’t Support Bow Wow Beef
(AllHipHop News) Imprisoned rapper C-Murder has lashed out at published interviews by his alleged son, who discussed the rappers life sentence, while simultaneously disrespecting rappers like Bow Wow, his mother and other rappers.
Rapper Young Trump, of The Rich Boyz, appeared on Streetz Disciplez Radio and claimed he was C-Murders son.
During the interview Young Trump revealed he had issues with Bow Wow, Yung Berg and Sean Kingston.
He labeled Bow Wow phony and called his mother a s### and called Yung Berg a fa**ot.
According to C-Murder, Young Trump is not his son, he is his cousin. Young Trump is not my son, he is my little cousin, C-Murder told AllHipHop.com in a statement. For me personally, hes young at this, so the beefs hes into are something I do not support. For him to be saying Im his pops and then disrespect Bow Wows mother like that .I dont get down like that.
According to C-Murder, his younger cousins comments have stirred up controversy for him, as he focuses on his appeal.
I dont want my name thrown out there with this, C-Murder told AllHipHop.com. I wouldnt never dis anyones Mama and I dont appreciate it being put out there. Let me people know what level Im on. I aint got one enemy in the industry. I dont believe in enemies and I dont believe in beef. Thats my cousin and I love him, but I dont agree with what hes saying.
C-Murder, born Corey Miller, is currently working with his legal team to appeal his conviction for shooting and killing 16-year-old Steve Thomas inside Club Platinum, a now-defunct Jefferson Parish Night Club.
C-Murder was convicted of the crime in 2003 and sentenced to a mandatory life sentence.
After a series of appeals that went to the Louisiana Supreme Court, his conviction was overturned in 2006, after it was learned prosecutors expunged the criminal backgrounds of their witnesses.
He was convicted for the crime a second time in August of 2009, but a juror went public after the trial, claiming the jury was corrupt and that she was pressured into making her decision.
Others claimed that a juror slept during deliberations, while another quoted from the bible and repeatedly asked to be excused from the case.
Even the judge sent jurors back to discuss the verdict during the trial, because he felt on juror may have changed a vote just to end the trial.
We are in the process of reading over the transcripts now, C-Murder told AllHipHop.com. Thats taking 30-90 days. In three months, we will file and then go from there and pray for the best.
