That’s Lil Duval above, who clowned one of our “10 Worst Chains In Hip Hop” at last year’s Hot107.9 Birthday Bash in Atlanta. While this particular piece has been laid to rest, other gaudy creations are still being flaunted by popular rappers. Check out the jewelry that gets a “hell no,” and let’s see if you can guess who the proud owners are: 10. This chain experienced a malfunction at last year’s BET Hip Hop Awards, when it broke right off the rapper’s neck.  9. When HHNLive.com asked this rapper why he chose a Bart Simpson chain, he said, “I wanted to have a chain that was gonna shock the world and was gonna draw a lot of attention to me.” Bravo, mission accomplished. 8. This one just screams “No he didn’t!”  7. This youngin’ flaunted this Lamborghini chain last summer, made from a remote control car.  6. Whose bright idea was it to put this $500,000 chain in the mail (from which it was stolen) and insure it for only $500?  5. This rapper made his way into the Guinness World Records in 2007 with his “Crunk Ain’t Dead,”, which was crowned the “largest diamond pendant” in the world. 4. Thankfully, this big ass mess is now six feet under. 3. This one should be a piece of cake. 2. This iced out Newport box actually opens up for use as storage. Gaudy and functionality all in one.  1. Really? An iced out “Tony the Tiger”?

Editor’s note: The

views expressed inside this editorial aren’t necessarily the views of

AllHipHop.com or its employees.Law 21: Play a Sucker to Catch a Sucker. Seem Dumber than your Mark. Have you ever heard a rapper spit a few bars that were radically genius and wondered wow he sounds so smart? That’s because he probably is! You would be surprised to learn that some of the most renowned Hip-Hop artists not only are intelligent, but also have the degrees to verify that position. Ludacris, Ice Cube, Plies, Wale, Stat Quo, even Flavor Flav have met the qualifications of an institution as a graduate. Yes “Flavoooor Flaaaav!” Everyone knows Kanye West was a college dropout, but many others had similar stories and continued onto stardom such as Master P, Paul Wall, Common, Rick Ross, Rich Boy, and Diddy. When Ashanti was providing the soundtrack to your love fests she also could have tutored you, because not everyone had been accepted into the Ivy League of Princeton University. When you walk into an attorney or doctor’s office the first thing you notice is a 17×21 frame on the wall displaying their diplomas. When’s the last time you were in the studio or watching MTV Cribs and saw the same thing sitting encased within a trophy shelf next to an emcee’s other accomplishments? Why doesn’t hanging a degree hold any leverage compared to hanging up a platinum plaque? Has the dream of attending college been replaced with the fantasy of driving an Aston Martin? The answer is possibly that the plaque leads to money, hoes (not necessarily women), and clothes while the degree might get you clowned and called a square by the dudes on the block. As a rapper, you typically need street credibility and respect and the need to service some megalomaniac thirst forces some to omit the smarter factors. These are the ideals that should be banished or at least quelled. As a community it should be the peoples’ duty to achieve education without some backwards negative societal response. Rappers feel pressured to masquerade superficially in order to appease the masses. Here is a shocker. Most rappers rappers are not ignorant, but they more often perpetuate ignorance in order to make a living and gain sales. If a lieutenant in the mafia whacks somebody every day, he’s a bad motherf***er that you should respect – in that world. If that same mafia guy has a degree, people would look at him like more of a Don, correct?  Why doesn’t a rap artist get extended the same type of accolades? In the rap world, neglecting the fact of being educated has become the thing to do in order to maintain your popularity and public perception. Hip-Hop has limited itself by paralyzing its participants this way. In any other culture one would be proud to have attended a college or university and earned a degree. This is a victory that has been lost in hip hop because our artists in leadership positions have chosen to champion otherwise. So many rap artists will hit the stage to perform at a college’s homecoming show, but never scream out on record that they are alumni. You have worked hard and earned a rare opportunity. You were accepted into something special based on your own merits and keen qualities this should not be ignored. Where is the gratitude for this experience? Not everyone fits this category Wyclef  and Lil Wayne recently became enrolled as well as Soulja Boy has made mention of wanting to attend a university. David Banner has always displayed his educated spectrum through his music and other speaking engagements. He recognizes the power behind being educated. He chooses to immobilize such in order to build a positive future. Even newcomer rap sensation J. Cole has proudly boasted that he is a graduate of St. John’s University and was Magna C## Laude. These are achievements that shouldn’t just make his momma proud, but everyone in the culture should gravitate to these sorts of accomplishments because they make the culture look good. After all isn’t this one of the things that matters so much in the rap world “looking good.” People, having a crispy appearance should not just mean in the physical sense. The children should say, “I want to be like this artist” not just because he’s lyrically dope, or has riches galore but in addition because he went to college. Being a rap superstar is a once in a lifetime chance, but going to college is attainable for so much of the youth today. Privately wouldn’t one assume that artist tell their own children to go to college, so why not spread the message a little broader since rappers have wider audiences than traditional teachers. True, everyone knows that you do not need to go to college to be successful in the music business. However I’m sure it helps to hold a degree when you’re at the record label sitting in a board meeting about marketing, budgets, and licenses. Having a college education demonstrates that you were able to conquer more than one realm.  The cultivation of knowledge is precious. It is a sacred treasure that should be honored. Let’s support higher education along with the other materialist virtues if only to create a tiny shift towards a competent balance. The world is dark enough and could use a face lift to unmask the existing disparities. No matter how fly rappers may wear it cocked and leaning to the side, it doesn’t make it “cool” to rock a dunce hat on top of an educated brain.

Yukmouth Denies Suge Involved In Assault; Refuses To Talk To Police

(AllHipHop News) Oakland rapper Yukmouth has released a statement denying that former Death Row Records CEO Marion “Suge” Knight led a group of men who attacked him Monday evening in California.According to reports, Yukmouth originally identified Knight as one of 11 men who accosted him the parking lot of a San Fernando Valley supermarket and robbed him of $92,000 worth of jewelry. Yukmouth allegedly identified Knight as one of his attackers to police, but quickly recanted the story. The rapper told VladTV.com that he is refused to cooperate with police, will not press charges and denied Knight was involved with the assault. Instead, he placed the blame on the Los Angeles Police Department and claimed that officers have a vendetta against the controversial Knight. LA police have been after Suge Knight for years and are lying about me to try to get him. If Suge was caught jaywalking they would lock him up,” Yukmouth said. “I never filed a police report and I never pressed any charges. Me and Suge have always been cool – I wouldn’t have had a meeting with him if I thought there was some sort of problem.”According to Yukmouth, other people in the parking lot watched the group of men assault him and called the police and filed reports. “The LA police have been calling me trying to have me come in and cooperate, but it’s not happening,” Yukmouth said.

The Last Word: Jamie Foxx Wrongs or Writes TV Classic? Prince Owes Taxes!

How’s everything? The week continues to go by as we reminisce over politicians going back and forth over healthcare despite the historic vote for reform in the House, NCAA basketball tournament brackets being ruined over the upsets taking place and Google and China disputing over the country censoring it among users.

 Thoughts and prayers go out to family, fans and friends of I Spy and Greatest American Hero star Robert Culp, who died on Wednesday (March 24). Shout out Lady Gaga for becoming the first artist to generate more than 1 billion views on YouTube and the Vevo network and the sounding boards for showing how nice it is to just relax and enjoy the weather.

 This is it. Prepare for a bumpy ride with…the Last Word for the week ending March 26, 2010.1.       Jamie Foxx Tries His Writing Hand Out With Laverne & Shirley

Continuing on the path of non-original ideas, all signs are pointing towards a big screen remake of the classic TV show, Laverne & Shirley.

 The show’s producer Gary Marshall confirmed to TVGuideMagazine.com that the wheels were turning on how to give the iconic sitcom’s characters their just due. On board to write the script for the film is someone you may not think of when talking about Laverne & Shirley, Jamie Foxx.

 “Jamie and I are trying to do it. He’s writing it,” Marshall said as he provided a glimpse of what’s in store for movie watchers. “It’s a whole different modern day take on how they came up on the streets during difficult times. Laverne would be this very tough girl with a big ‘L’ tattooed on her arm. Jennifer Garner would play Laverne and Jessica Biel would play Shirley.”

And it wouldn’t be a solid remake without some cameo from the show’s original stars, right? Not to worry, Foxx has that taken care of with plans to write in roles for Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams.

As a fan of Laverne & Shirley, I’m interested to see what the movie will look like. But wake me up when they finally decide to make the big screen version of Good Times or That’s My Mama. I can only imagine who they would get to play Thelma. Any suggestions?

2.       Hugh Hefner Vows to Never be Celibate; Speaks on Being Committed

Think Hugh Hefner has plans on slowing down as he prepares to celebrate his 84th birthday?

I don’t think so. Never one to let a good woman slip, the Playboy founder is more determined than ever to keep his player’s status on active.

“I will definitely not be celibate — I will be celebrating,” Hefner shared with CNN’s Connect the World regarding his birthday celebration, which is set to take place over a number of days with everything coming to a head in Las Vegas. “The following night, I will be taking the girlfriends to Las Vegas and celebrating in a larger venue at The Palms Hotel.”

As many girlfriends he’s had, you would think that Hef had an idea of how many he’s been with. But that may be asking too much, considering that he “stopped counting a long time ago”.

“I’ve never thought in terms of quantity, but more in terms of quality,” Hef said as he admitted to being “in a very good relationship” just one woman at the present time.  And for those looking for a bit of wisdom in regards to the ladies, Hef keeps it simple while referencing how faithful he was when he was married for eight-years.

“I think if you make a commitment, you keep the commitment.”

What can I say? Hef is a man after my own heart.  If Viagra gets it up, keep the soldiers marching two by two.  Ha Rah Ha Rah…

 

3.       Smokey Robinson and Monica Talk Musical Longevity

With years in and a far reaching influence that extends to today’s artists, its safe to say that Smokey Robinson knows a thing or two about music. And with that comes an appreciation of various genres as the singer reflects on the power of music as one that has the potential to impact the listener.

“I think how wonderful that this music is 300 years old or 400 years old, and we’re still listening to it,” said Robinson, who expressed his recent fascination with classical music to Billboard. “I want to be Beethoven. I want to be Mozart…I want people to be listening to those songs (of mine) 300 years from now.

Although he has a string of hits that are held in high regard by fans, Robinson is still focused on giving fans a quality piece of music.

“That’s my goal. When I write a song…if I had written it 50 years before, it’s gonna mean something today,” the singer stated. “If I wrote it today, 50 years from now it’s going to mean something…So I always want to write a song as a song.”

 Smokey may be on to something as Monica cites different motivation for making eternal material.

“When you have the love of the people you can make albums for years and years to come. I rather that then have one album sell ten million then I’m losing my mind because I don’t know what to do once that is over,” the songbird told Singersroom. “I look at my music as not being for the moment; I look at it being for a lifetime. I speak for a whole generation of people.

4.       Deitrick Haddon Follows Movie Debut With a Trip Down Gospel Street

After years of lifting fans up with his music, Deitrick Haddon is ready for his close up.

The gospel star is hard at work on a series of films, including one he feels could rival a classic hip-hop film.

“It’s going to be like what Krush Groove was to hip hop,” Haddon told BV Buzz about the film, titled Gospel Street.  “I already have like 10 films in the works.”

With production set to start in June, Gospel Street will follow Haddon’s movie debut in Blessed & Cursed. The feature, which also stars Sheryl Lee Ralph, Drew Sidora,  Kierra Sheard, Karen Clark Sheard, Dr. Bobby Jones, J. Moss, Damita Haddon, Jorel Quinn of 21:03 and Rance Allen, is a described as a modern day retelling of the classic story of Saul and David.

Haddon will play Dwight Hawkins, a man struggling to overcome the backlash of his peers and seeking to find his life’s purpose. According to the vocalist, the idea for Blessed & Cursed came after reading up on Saul and David.

“You know I’m a pastor now, so I’m doing more studying than I’ve ever done in my life. I was studying the story of Saul and David and the dynamics within their relationship. This movie just opened up to me,” said Haddon said of the movie, which he wrote.

Look for Blessed & Cursed to be released on DVD on June 15.

 

5.      Naomi Campbell  Grateful for “Honorary Grandfather” Nelson Mandela; Adopts Kinder, Gentler Self

After all the foolishness and diva like view of the world she’s become known for, Naomi Campbell says she has finally seen the light. And what better time to make a change than the days leading to your 40th birthday.

“I thought I’d never actually make this birthday. I’ve had times when it was hard work for me to look in the mirror, because I didn’t like who I was,” Campbell confessed to WENN. “I’m not proud of the things I’ve done. But I did something about it. I’ve worked hard on correcting my previous wrongdoings, and I won’t be held hostage by my past behavior. I’ve moved on. I want a quieter life today.”

So who managed to get to Naomi? Why her “honorary grandfather,” Nelson Mandela, of course. Ever since they met in 1992, Campbell credits the former South African president with motivating her to bounce back after making a mistake.

“It seems to always happen that every time I get in trouble I see him right after,” she said. “He never tells me off. He just tells me to keep going.”

And so we have Naomi 2.0. The better version of the model knows that her past will make some people question her new attitude, but she seems determined to change.

“Everyone knows what I’ve gone through. I’m human, I make mistakes, but I’ve come clean on them all. I don’t deny them. I’ve taken the heat and felt highly embarrassed by a lot of them,” stated Campbell. “…I’m not above learning lessons. I’m not shirking blame for anything I did. I blame myself. I’m responsible for all my actions. But I’m also responsible for making those changes.”6.       Amy Winehouse  Expresses Love for Her V#####; Leads Effort for Females to Name Private Parts

Ladies: If you love your v##### and are not afraid to show it, then you may have something in common with Amy Winehouse.  Apparently, the embattled songstress has no problem sharing some personal information on her private.

Nothing too personal, mind you. Just the name she’s given it.

“I call it my little VaJew-Jew,” the Jewish singer confided to WENN.

Winehouse’s revelations comes as she lends her support to a new campaign that encourages women to take better care of and talk about their genitals. As part of the effort, the creators of a feminine hygiene product called Mooncup are helping to break the taboo associated with the v##### by launching an online survey.

In addition, the people behind the Mooncup are encouraging women to log onto loveyourvagina.com and reveal the nicknames they use for their vaginas. With Winehouse among those who have followed suit, it looks like the effort is attracting attention.

And there you have it. So ladies, if you feel the need to share the name of your vajay-jay feel,  free to do so  at loveyourvagina.com.  It’s your world.

 In Other Words…. 

Diana Ross is hitting the road for her first major tour since 2004.

Count Prince among the celebrities who are delinquent on their taxes.  The Associated Press reports the entertainer’s PRN Music Corp and other properties owe more than $450,000 in taxes, fines and interest relating to more than a dozen of the singer’s properties. As a result, Prince is mentioned on a list of delinquent taxpayers for Carver County, Minn. The county’s tax records show that PRN Music Corp. owes more than $227,000 for 2009 taxes to the state and other government bodies.

On February 15, the Carver County taxpayer services manager says a letter was sent to Prince that notified him of the alleged outstanding debt. At this time, the county has received no response from the singer.

Prince has until May to pay what he owes. If not, then Carver County officials will take the matter to court.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Cassidy Has HIV/AIDS?! Beyonce Preg?!

CASSIDY HAS AIDS AND GAVE IT TO THIS GIRL!!!!!!?????WHAT!?

 

What in the b##########!?

 

Read this from a chick that supposedly slept with Cassidy!!!!!!

 

I have some important information about the rapper Cassidy that girls need to know. I met cassidy some time last summer at a concert he was doing in Philly. After the concert he invited me and my friends to play pool with him and his friends then we chilled at one of his homeboys house. The pictures are from this day we met. He wasnt anything less then a gentlemen that day so we exchanged numbers. We talked for a few months and saw each other when ever we could. It was usually at my apartment in Philly. A couple times I drove up and we met at a hotel in Hacknsack NJ. I was never able to go to his house because his babys mother and kids were there. The very 1st time we had sex he didn’t want to use a condom but I insisted. After a while we built up trust and he convinced me not to use one. The BIGGEST mistake of my life. I learned I contacted HIV from him.

 

When I confronted him about it he denied it but could not hide that he seemed very worreid and admitted to having unprotected sex with other girls he said they were clean. I found out later to from a friend of mine who knows a philly stripper named Porsha that he has unprotect sex with strippers and video hoes on a REGULAR BASES. Well that was the last time I spoke to him ofcourse. I am the biggest IDIOT in the world for trusting and believeing this dirty lying a$$ hole. I KNOW it was from Cassidy he is the only one i had sex with near the time and the ONLY one I did not use a condom with.

 

I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY TO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

CASS, STATEMENT PLEASE!!!!!

 

BEYONCE PREGGERS?

 

You know these rumors come a dime a dozen, but I thought I’d just say it since it may just be right. Even thought I’m sure its not. Rumor has it that Beyonce may be with child. I read one site that claimed that it was 100% true and presented the following details. I think I am going to start making up rumors if these other sites can and then get quoted. WTF! Anyway,  the Huffington Post risked its credibility to report it so I guess I will follow their lead.  Congrats to Jay-Z!!!!!!

 

It will be cool that Beyonce’s child and brother will be about the same age too.

POOR GRAND MA!!!!!!!!!

 

I know a lot of you complain about this stuff, but I have a blind item. I cannot  put a name to this, but maybe you can figure it out. There is an old woman in the South…not the deep south, but the south. And she is about to be evicted out of her home. She’s been maintaining for many years, but she had a terrible house fire in her last residence that destroyed everything. She had a temporary residence after that, but the owner of that home has to put her out due to the affects of the recession. Grandma has no place to go. Her GRANDSON is one of the BIGGEST things in  Hip-Hop. But dude didn’t have a great relationship with his father and it is my assumption it MAY have matriculated to his father’s mother too. There is a tricky spot here.  I am hearing that the mogul /rapper is unwilling to help his paternal grand mother  in her dilemma.  It is my OPINION that he doesn’t know her plight since she and he are so distant and she is in an extremely rural area. She’s got some friends that are trying to get at the mogul, but they aren’t having much luck. If I can, I  will help…but I’m not sure I am big time enough. 

 

SOOOOOO…CHRIS BROWN IS A BLOOD!?

 

I fairly well-known Blood Gang member is “confirming” a rumor that I  heard a while ago! Granted, there is no proof, but the rumors are very strong and were a couple years ago. The rumor is: Chris Brown is a Blood. Now, this particular person continuously referred to Breezy as Chris Blood. So…is that proof? NO. But to me it seem to be smoke  to the apparent fire that existed a ways back.  Or maybe I am reaching?

 

RICK ROSS TEAMING WITH 50’s ENEMIES?

 

This is nothing new, but it sure is interesting. Or is it? I will let  you decide. So, from what I heard all the Maybach Music dudes like Gunplay, Torch, Masspike Miles and Bang ‘Em Smurf’s Feed Da Wolves’ Domination and others got together down in at a club in NYC. They did some shows and and they are all headed down to ATL to link with Ross to work on their albums slated to come out this year. Also, Ross seems to be working with Diddy too and the pair may be looking to do some business in the music biz. Looks like Diddy really does  look at Ross as the new Biggie Smalls.

DRAKE “SNITCHIN’”? WHY IS PAGE SO MAD?

LOL! I got some emails about Drake being a “snitch” and I laughed them off. This snitching thing still confuses me, as a natural born fool. Drake isn’t a crook, criminal or thug so is he a snitch or a law-abiding citizen? I don’t want to get into that again. NEVERTHELESS…there’s  some rumors to the reason why Canada rapper Page is upset with Drake. I present Exhibit A:

 

 

It seems that robbery situation that happened to Drake a ways back somehow lead to the dude Page. Now, I am not even going to TRY to say if somebody did or didn’t do it, but there is paperwork out there so it is what it is.

 Now, somebody else told me that Page is simply mad that Drake blew up and didn’t “take Page with him.” I was under the impression that they were causal pals, not best friends or anything. I heard that Drake wanted that beat that Page rapped over for “I’m Fly” and even the producer tried to get it to  Drizzie. Page wasn’t having it, sources said. I still like the song though.

 What do you think? Please don’t say I am hating on anybody here. I’m not. [:D]

(AllHipHop News) Popular Los Angeles personality DJ Skee has been named as the Hip-Hop Ambassador to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s charity, After-School All-Stars, Los Angeles (ASAS-LA). The non-profit features a number of after school activities aimed at improving the health, fitness and nutritional habits of students, in addition to fostering youth leadership and community service. ASAS-LA also uses cutting edge programs to reduce drug use, crime and violence among middle and high school students. “Being involved with the kids in the After-School All-Stars, Los Angeles programs brings things full circle,” DJ Skee told AllHipHop.com in a statement today (March 25).  “Hip-hop originates from the communities that these students come from.  Hip-hop is a big part of their culture…and to teach them the positive aspects of the industry; that actual careers exist within the industry; that lead industry figures are devoted to giving back to the community…it gives them the type of exposure needed to take the hip-hop culture on a positive path.  These kids are the future of hip-hop.”ASAS-LA serves over 10,000 children throughout the Los Angeles area. DJ Skee will work in tandem with Kobe Bryant, the organization’s national spokesman. The non-profit also houses All-Star Records, a free music program that teaches the fundamentals of Hip-Hop, aimed at 10-18 year-olds, to ultimately provide a safer learning environment. DJ Skee is an internationally known DJ with a show on Los Angeles’ KIIS-FM, the most listen to station radio station in the country. He is also syndicated on Sirius/XM Satellite Radio through Europe, Asia and Australia and runs SkeeTv.com.
