New York Plans To ‘Work’ On New VH1 Reality Show

VH1 has announced that Tiffany “New York” Pollard will make a return to reality TV with her latest show New York Goes to Work.

 

New York rose to fame as a contestant on rapper Flavor Flav’s tremendously success reality series Flavor of Love.

 

Although she lost to two different competitors on two different seasons of Flavor of Love, New York landed her own spin off series I Love New York, in which she sought love.

 

Another spinoff was created around New York titled New York Goes to Hollywood, where she attempted to become an actress.

 

On New York Goes to Work, New York will attempt to find a simple 9-5 job, with the help of the viewing audience.

 

Viewers will text to vote on what job New York should do next, from a mortuary beautician to a Cal Tran sewer worker.

 

If she does good on the jobs, she receives a $5,000 bonus for each week, but if she quits or is fired, she will receive nothing.

 

New York Goes to Work is executive produced by 51 Minds Entertainment, who also produces Charm School, Rock of Love, My Fair Brady, The Surreal Life and others.

 

New York Goes to Work is slated to debut May 4 at 10:00 PM.

The Obama Deception (DVD Review)

 

As mainstream political pundits wonder when the Obama honeymoon will be over, members of the anti-establishment claim such honeymoon never existed. According to Alex Jones’s Obama Deception (Info Wars) our promised agent of change is no more than a puppet for imperial interests. The two-hour documentary claims that President Obama has secret ties to big business and that much of his administration caters to the demands of Wall Street.

 

The film centers around Obama’s alleged affiliation with the Bilderberg Group, an ultra-exclusive roundtable of about 130 guests of high political influence, who allegedly meet to hatch global plots. Cameras follow Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton, and other major office holders to an undisclosed location where protesters wait with bullhorns to express their dissent over the clandestine meeting. Apparently the Bilderberg group is behind much scandal concerning the capitalist centralization of the world.

 

Obama Deception may have botched its opportunity to reach a wide audience by openly attacking the president. The ominous organ chords and unflattering photos (Jones uses cheap editing to make Obama look devilish at times) do not hide the obscurity of the case against the president. From the opening credits, the film recycles images and catch phrases.

 

Jones’ main claim is that Obama belongs to the Bilderberg consortium, which in itself does not indict the president. The film postulates that the group has empirical ambitions that no official source has confirmed.

 

Jones himself is paleoconservative. Though he accuses Obama of contributing to nefarious world plots, the radio host presents an anticommunist viewpoint. To him, Obama’s violations are rooted in not preserving the purity of American ideals of tradition, religion, and anti-federalism.

 

Jones attempts to lend validity to his case with interviews from KRS-One and Professor Griff from Public Enemy, yet the Hip-Hop legends comment more on the president’s relative powerlessness with respect to the United States system of government than his exploitation of power.

 

In just the first two months of his term, Barack Obama has faced heavy scrutiny for closing Guantanamo Bay, which Jones claims he only did to divert attention from the other secret prisons still established throughout the world. 

 

While Jones and other conspiracy theorists wait for Obama to break his promise of withdrawing troops from Iraq within the first 16 months of his presidency, it’s hard to take this film as a serious cause for concern. For now, Obama Deception is a full conjectures yet to be substantiated by the enactments of the Obama administration.

Mondays with Macy: The Sellout

The views expressed in this column are not the views shared by AllHipHop.com.

I’m stupid

Just a dumb b**ch

He’s an alcoholic

A career addict

He gets high and does stupid sh*t.

Sometimes

He don’t come home

I wanna kick me out like my friends tell me to

But I open the door. I take his hand.

I wash him down then I lay him down.

The love we make that night is extraordinary

because we miss each other and he’s a good f**k anyway.

Now he’s sober and I’m excited. Happy for him. Optimistic.

But I know he’ll f**k up again.  He always does. 

But then he’s nice again. I get sucked in.

My friends say he sucks.

Behind my back they call me stupid – just a dumb b**ch

But I’m smart enough to say f**k them and f**k you too

And if my baby happens to be reading this

I want you to know that I LOVE YOU.

TODAY’S RUMORS!

THE DAILY TWO SENSE

Remember that which is really important.

Moving on…to the rumors! Also, read the weekend rumor edition!

OH BOY – THIS IS GOING TO GET UGLY

There is somebody that apparently has all these raw, raunchy pics of a rapper on Def Jam. I am not even sure who it is. What I am fairly sure is these images are out there and they are of the dude putting himself in some very compromising positions. The culprit may be, in fact, recognizing himself in this pictures since he probably took them himself. This whole matter is worth a big PAUSE, because it may turn into an expose that deal in “man parts.” SMH. I hope its not who it is speculated to be. On the flip side, everybody on the present Def Jam rooster is very respected. Most of the females I have talked to don’t think it’s a big deal and that men do this all the time.

IN DEFENSE OF PHARRELL….

This was a letter written to me in defense of Pharrell’s spazz out. Check it:

I am an Emory Student and I was present at the N.E.R.D. concert where Pharrell spazzed out. In his defense he had all the right to spaz out! He ordered barricades to be moved so the audience can get closer to the stage. Right as the barricades were being moved the crowd stormed towards the stage putting everyone as risk of being injured. Pharrell simply wanted to give the people removing the barricades a chance to remove them safely. The students in the crowd did not listen to Pharrell’s orders of stepping back and giving the faculty a chance to remove the barricades. He pleaded with the students several times before spazzing out on them. He later apologized to the students for his language and gave an amazing show. I have been at Emory for 4 years and this by far has been the best concert. There was a lot of energy, crowd surfing, and an overall great performance by N.E.R.D.!!!!!

Imad A.

ONE OF JAY-Z’S GROUPS BREAK UP?

Waiting for Jay-Z can be difficult. There was a group by the name of Lil Rok Playaz and they were apparently signed to Jay-Z at some point in time. I am not sure what situation, but I think it was the Roc Nation stuff. Anyway, I can frankly state that I am not sure if they ever REALLY signed or if it was just a rumor taking on a life of its own. Sooooo…the group broke up. Now, how close and how far can you get? The management stalled and tried to get more money for the deal, I heard. Filthy Rich, one of the members is back and working on his solo album. He has been in talks with a couple of labels, I am hearing. . Universal ( the group was signed to them before ) , Capitol, and a couple of independent. Check him out and let me know what you think.

MAX B AND FRENCHY TALK ABOUT JIM JONES’ WIFE?????

Aw man, they said they have Jim Jones’ Wife on tape – his camera phone to be specific!

MORE ON T-PAIN’S PAIN

Poor T-Pain! If you don’t know, he got his fronts knocked out in an accident recently. Well, here is what I heard happened. There was talk that this happened on a golf course, but I heard something a bit different. I heard from several friends of several friends in attendance at the Lil Wayne concert on March 25th at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, TX that T-Pain was making his grand entrance on an ATV 4-wheeler with 20″ rims when the incident occurred. He was speeding down a steep ramp when he failed to slow down where the ramp meet the leveled floor and he got bucked from the ATV. The accident ended up flipping T-Pain forward and over his ride and landed on his face. He had a bloody mouth and failed to perform that night. That’s what I heard.

ILLSEED’S QUICKIES

While everybody is feeling sorry for Trick Daddy, I heard Trick has new music already. He’s living his life!

Micheal Vick is looking to pen an “apology” book, but PETA is looking to stop him. Hmmm…do they want him to kill himself or something or just cease to exist?

Amy Winehouse has gone back to Mark Ronson for help on her next CD. Get Salaam Remi while you are at it.

I think I said this, but Gucci Mane made it to NC over the weekend. He’s NOT back in jail.

Rihanna has one gun tat and a couple henna tats. I cant believe I am commenting on this again!

I DON’T KNOW, JIM!

I know Jim hates how the cops bother him, but…with vids like this…why wouldn’t they? They’re the cops and they are watching!

EPIC FAIL OF THE DAY

Damn, Shammy! The dude that does those super juiced up commercials for the Sham Wow towels got himself into a pickle. The guy’s name is Vince Shlomi and last month he got arrested for allegedly beating down a h#####. Here is the catch. Dude allegedly paid a woman 1G to sex him. He went to kiss the broad and she bit his tongue and refused to let go with her teeth! Vince, in an effort to get her to stop biting him, started punching her until she stopped. He got a felony battery charge after the incident that went down in Miami. Well, I know you aren’t supposed to hit a woman, but what was he supposed to do? LOL! Its not really funny and I suspect there is more to it, but he shouldn’t have been kissing a h##### like that anyway. SMH!

Here is the SHAM.

SHOUT OUT TO GLC!

Dope song!

DIPSET BROKE UP, BUT…

JR Writer is doing his thing. Check him out on the set of his new video.

Hip-Hop Ladies First Panel Comes to Rutgers University

With March being recognized nationwide as Women’s History Month, New Jersey’s Hip-Hop Association is joining forces with the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) and Rutgers University to host an all-star women’s discussion on the importance of females in Hip-Hop.

 

Officially christened Ladies First! Elevating Women in the 21st Century, the panel features femcee icon and business entrepreneur Dr. Roxanne Shante, AllHipHop.com Marketing VP Jamilah B. Creekmur, Toni Blackman (Founder of Lyrical Ambassador/Echoing Green Fellow), and Dawn Lewis (Founder of Pooka Pure and Simple).

 

Moderating the panel is Martha Diaz, president and founder of the Hip-Hop Association.

 

Seeking to address the marginalization of female voices in Hip-Hop and minority women at large, the panel will review tangible steps to achieve “female empowerment and community building” through education and economic development.

 

Following the discussion will be a special workshop debut of the Ladies First Fund.

 

The fellowship will require grantees to create and execute a community action plan combating pertinent female issues such as domestic violence, illiteracy, and homelessness in Newark, New Jersey.

 

The selected hopefuls will have one year to complete their projects, and will have the complete resources of Rutger’s Center for Urban Entrepreneurship and Economic Development.

 

The Ladies First panel will begin Monday (March 30) at 5:30 PM in Rutger’s Bove Auditorium at Engelhard Hall.

Soulja Boy Hits #1 with ‘Kiss Me’ Single

Teen sensation Soulja Boy has found his second smash hit courtesy of the chart-topping popular single “Kiss Me Thru the Phone.”

 

This week, the Sammie-assisted track reached #1 on Billboard’s Rhythmic Top 40 Radio chart.

 

On Billboard’s Hot Ringmaster’s list, it has remained the #1 ringtone for the last 8 weeks with sales exceeding 1 million.

 

The popularity of the song was helped this week by a 1300 spin-increase in radio markets.

 

The move resulted in the song’s listening public expanding to 107 million.

 

After receiving steady criticism in 2008 over his legitimacy as a Hip-Hop artist, the young superstar feels his latest work shows a marked improvement in his musicianship.

 

“My fans let me know, enough with [those] dancing songs for now,” Soulja Boy Tell’Em explained to AllHipHop.com in a statement.

 

 “Now it’s time to do great music like ‘Kiss Me Thru the Phone.’ It’s a real record, no gimmick. It’s a catchy record because that’s what my fans want.”

 

Soulja Boy will complete a taping this weekend for BET’s “Spring Bling,” and is set to appear May 15 on the CW Network sitcom “The Game.”

 

 At press time, he is also finalizing plans for a cross-country tour for Summer 2009. Soulja Boy’s sophomore album, iSouljaBoyTellem, was released last December.

 

His latest single, “Turn My Swag On,” is #61 on Billboard’s Top 100.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Pharrell Spazzes On Crowd! Nas, Jr. On The Way! Rhianna’s Tat Facts!

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.

RIHANNA’S NEW TAT – THE FACTS

Its so funny to see and read people’s comments about Rihanna’s new tats. Now everybody is a Photoshop expert or they know henna based on a pretty blurry image. Anyway, the reality is, she DID get at least three lil gun tats. MTV actually talked to the artist, BangBang, and he gave the official commentary on the tats.

“She flew me out for the purposes of tattooing one of her friends. I’ve tattooed her a few times, and she gave me a call and asked if I could come out to her house. I wound up tatting her as well. We’ve been playing with it for about a year, and I was at her house, and I suggested she finally get the gun.” There you have it. It is not Photoshop, henna and…Chris Breezy best be easy!

NAS’ NEXT MOVE – BIG THINGS!

Nas is the man. He and Damian Marley had an event last night in Los Angeles and Nas addressed a few rumors floating. My boy Dr. Knocboots told me that Nas said he’s been attempting to do a pair of albums with Nas and Preemo and release them within a year of each other. Well, it is not looking like either will happen soon. Nas said that Dre is hard at work on Detox. On the flip side, I was told that Detox was on hold, but I think I will believe Nas. He said he was still trying to make something happen with Preemo. Good luck! As for the album with Damian Marley, that album is called Distant Relatives. You heard it here first! Marley is going to produce the whole album, which will come out this summer. Part of the proceeds from the album will go to African charities.

NAS JR. IS ON THE WAY!

Here is another breaking rumors/story for you all. Nas is reportedly having a boy AND he’s going to name the kid, Nasir Jones, Jr. How awesome is that? Its great to see rappers become GROWN ADULTS and still be about the art and business of Hip-Hop.

ILLSEED QUICKIES

Gucci Mane is not in jail again. He managed to make it down to Greenville SC. Shout out to Tone!

I heard that Beyonce had a bit of trouble selling out a show and dropped the tickets to $20. Generally, they give them away.

Rumor has it, Jim Jones may seek to sue the NYPD for harassment and refusing to let him in his own album release parties.

Rumor has it Dame Grease, Max B, and Young Chris are all in the studio working on music. Not a bad look for Hip-Hop!

RANDOM QUOTES

This is not a good look for Meth! Drugs..smh!

“Myself, I’m a pothead,” he added. “It’s no secret. Everyone knows that. I go on the road and forget everything else. Sure, [the tax department] sent letters to my house saying, ‘We need this money.’ They started sending them in 2002. … Here it is, 2009, and I never paid this sh** because I don’t think like that!”

Ashanti is ready to get married to me…I mean, Nelly.

“Absolutely. [Marriage is] in the cards for me. I believe that I have a couple more things I need to do before that happens. But it is coming for me”PHARRELL SPAZZES ON CROWD!

I heard this was the scene over at Emory College! First, Pharrell is singing at a Mickey D’s and now this? Check it out.

“He sounds like my f***kin’ third grade teacher,” one girl said.”

F**K YOU, SERENA!!!!!

You know, Serena already has a lot of the men drooling and then she does something like this:

She looks so good, I have to hate. LOL. I know that is backwards, but it helps me cope with the fact that that will never me mine EVER.

OBAMA SONNING THE REPORTER

This is pretty old, but it was a class A, presidential sonning.

JUDGE PROTECTS THE WITNESSES…OR SNITCHES?

I know its just a matter of time, but a dude was testifying against another dude. The witness gets attacked and then the judge aka Captain-Save-A-Snitch jumps in to the rescue. Excuse my snitch comments, I just love the fact that dude is a snitch just by the sheer fact that he’s a witness by some standards.

ALL MY SINGLE ASIANS?
