Twista Benefits From YouTube Glitch; Planning Reality Show
(AllHipHop News) An unusual surge in views on YouTube worked to rapper Twistas gain.
A video featuring the rapper and rhyme collective Do or Die generated close to 80 billion views on the site yesterday according to the statistics.
The four-minute clip for the song Do You was posted by YouTube LadyMC311. According to reports, the videos 79,441,058,538 views were the result of someone hacking into LadyMC311s YouTube account.
As a result, Do You was briefly YouTubes most viewed video of all time, eclipsing Charlie Bit My Finger, (147,246,806 views) and a performance from Britains Got Talent alum Susan Boyles (84,765,146 views).
Although questions have been raised regarding the validity of the Do You views, Twista sees the situation as a testament to the power of his fans.
Yea I know it’s wrong, and dont have any idea who that could of been that did the hack, the rapper told AllHipHop.com, adding that he has never heard of LadyMC311. I dont have any idea why they picked my video, but that definitely goes to show you that Twista got those true fans, and I definitely wanna say thanks to the No. 1 blessing.
The YouTube hacking comes as Twista pursues a pair of non-music related ventures that will broaden his presence among the public as well as utilize his fame towards worthwhile causes.
Right now I am producing my first reality show deal, said the rapper, who couldnt reveal specifics on the deal because it’s under wraps.
I just started my own non for profit company helping homeless kids get off the streets and help kids with autism get financial assistance, the Chicago native stated.
The YouTube hack may be a good thing for Twista, but the talk surrounding the number of views being inflated for “Do You” is valid, as the numbers were false.
Upon checking this morning (January 8), the Do You video had 73,317 views since the clip was first posted on YouTube on September 6, 2006.
Despite the rumors, Twista has taken everything in stride as he jokingly put in a personal request to the person responsible for the Do You views.
If you happen to do it again, the rapper said, make sure you hook me up a million members on twista.com or my Twitter page.
Friday Fashion Feature: Intermezzo Trade Show Highlights
Kiki accompanied DJPremium.com buyer, Jamila, to the Intermezzo Trade Show in NYC yesterday.
Together, we scoped out spring/summer 2010 trends in the contemporary women’s market .
All chained up with Erickson Beamon
Current Elliot gold studded denim
Siwy will be launching on DJPremium.com in the near future – stay tuned!
BLANK, a hit denim brand on DJPremium.com, is bringing the heat this summer with edgy studded, tie dye, patchwork denim and more.
Christian Audigier has recently taken a cleaner turn, ditching some of its infamous bright colored tattoo prints for more vintage looks.
Do you think it’s about time, or should this brand just stick to doing what it’s so well known for?
Overall, we saw that stud details on clothing and accessories are not going anywhere anytime soon. Other popular hardware will be chains, spikes and various jewels.
The rock star look was very evident, but softened up in many cases with a vintage twist.
Soft pastel colors were seen, such as peach, greens and blues. Neutral tones were also prevalent, especially in fetish or lingerie inspired clothing.
Trendsetters Lady Gaga and Rihanna
We noticed luxurious fabrics like silk, satin, and chiffon, as well as leather and spandex.
Heavy metal is still a go, with metallic shades of silver, gold, emerald green, purple, etc.
One of my personal favorites is sheer fabric pieces on dresses and tops. It’s super sexy without revealing too much and adds an elegant look.
How are you feeling about this upcoming season’s fashion trends?
See more fresh looks on DJPremium.com from brands like BLANK, Christian Audigier, Pour La Victoire, Betsey Johnson and many more!
Hip-Hop Rumors: Supreme Knows Something! Keyshia Cole Is MARRIED! Rihanna Ill Pics!
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 CENTS
I generally dont address haters. I mean, why bother. They ARE haters. One thing I dont do is try to convert people. Either you like me or you dont. With that said, if you WANT TO BE HERE, and you think there are some things youd like to see different or whatever, Im all ears. I have an email ([email protected]) and people use it. In fact, the only reason I am saying this is because one of my favorite people gave me a heads up about a couple things. Anyway, some of you people need home training and ya mammie wouldnt like how you act online. I’m all about the constructive comments, but the hate…hold that.
“Get the Shaq Face.”
The rumors are a bit light today for now at least. There is some stuff so see it below. Thanks to all my supporters, friends and fam!
Click here to get the full listing of stuff that has transpired this week.
Also, Chance hit me with some rumors way early in the morning, like midnight. Click here for those.
WILL 50 CENT HAVE HIS REVENGE?
Supreme McGriff is in prison for life, but he and 50 Cent have a weird relationship. Now I got this from my homey Mikey T the Movie Star. Hes been talking to Supremes nephew and apparently, Supreme saw 50s mother as she was killed. Now, Im not even trying to be out of pocket here, but I am almost certain this is unknown information up until this point. Now, since its not coming directly from Supreme you can only put so much into it, but it seems like the plot is about to get thicker.
KEYSHIA COLE GOES FROM ENGAGED TO MARRIED IN 1 DAY FLAT!!!!!!
This is a breaking rumor, yall! I told you that Keyshia Cole was engaged within the last day or so, but there is a new twist. It seems that Frankie, Keyshias wild and crazy biological mother, was on the V-103 during the Ryan Cameron show yesterday and she announced that Keyshia and Boobie had a secret wedding! Apparently, they did want this new baby they are having to be born out of wedlock. On the flip side, my girl Tamara told me that Frankie seemed very drunk or inebriated worst than usual. You know Frankie can get wild so this may be the rantings of a lunatic.
DIP SET REUNION!?
Awwwww man, at this point this is kinda who cares, but Jim Jones recently made reference to Dip Set getting back together. Now, Jim made the statement on 106 & Park with Terrance and Rocsi. He basically said something like we may have some surprises in the new year.
What do you think? Do you even care at this point?
FLOYD MAYWEATHER LASHES OUT AT MANNY!
This fight is going to get made. $200 million on the line come on! Floyd is HEATED:
“First and foremost, not only do I want to fight Manny Pacquiao, I want to whip his punk ass. In my opinion it is Manny Pacquiao and his team who are denying the people a chance to see the biggest fight ever. I know the people will see through their smokescreens and lies. I am ready to fight and sign the contract. Manny needs to stop making his excuses, step up and fight.”
ILLSEEDS QUICKIES
You know, it would seem that people got my rumor assistants words confused with mine, but Floyd Mayweather is a professional boxer. His hands are legal and registered weapons literally.
Siegfried and Roy have retired. Remember about six years ago Roy got mauled by a tiger. Props to them for taking it this far after that.
Dr. Conrad Murray is likely to be charged in the death of Michael Jackson. Man, it sucks to be him but hes looking at a manslaughter case, says TMZ.
Carmelo and LaLa are moving to Los Angeles according to theybf.com. I dont even care whyd I even type that?
According to Bossip, Pharrell dropped the girl from NERD. I think we said that yesterday. But they said she lied about her age shes reportedly in her 30s.
Ne-Yo is reportedly dating Steve McNairs ex-mistress. Oh boy. This is about to be an interesting year. Apparently, she is posing as his personal assistant.
On of Tiger Woods mistresses is slated to drop a book that alleges the golf legend had g###### and she saw it. Aw, man hell to the no!
Lupe Fiasco has started his climb up Mount Kilimanjaro with his famous friends. Santogold is going too. They are climbing about 19,340 feet.
TEDDY RILEY EXPLAINS HIS CASE – ABOUT HIS ALLEGEDLY VIOLENT DAUGHTERS
Teddy has some real family problems. Wow.
RAY-JS HALF BROTHER COMES BACK!
C-Dove is back for the 1-0. Hes got something to say to Ray and Brandy. I think Ray and Brandy are a lil scared of this fella.
SIGNS THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END
Im sorry but I am moving to a cave or a mountain. This is sick and crazy. Something is in the water at Vero Beach, FL! A 20-year-old man named Garrett Andrew Douglas was caught butt-nekked having sex with his 87-year-old grandmother. This is insanity. On top of that no pun intended this dude Douglas apparently did this for about 20 times, since he was a lad of 12 years. Somebody that was sent to check on her, got a faceful of a** when he was caught! The ladys not in her right mind and suffers from dementia. And, Douglas is going to suffer too. He is in jail for incest and attempted sexual battery on a mentally defective victim. Off to hell you go, boy!

WEEZY JOINS THE WAR ON DRUGS
Lil Wayne is no stranger to the War On Drugs. He’s caught several charges and I believe a few are still pending. Well the DEA has recognized his uncanny ability to consume large amounts of drugs and have partnered with the Mexican governments to clean up their streets. CAM WANTS HIS TAPE
I’ve been waiting for this new Cam’ron DJ Drama tape and I know a lot of you have too. What has been the hold up?? Check out Cam calling Drama to find out:
AKEELAH IS THAT YOU
Remember KeKe Palmer the little girl from Akeelah And The Bee??? Well she has grown into a tween superstar as True Jackson on the Nickelodeon show True Jackson VP. She was also dating Young Money’s Lil Twist but I’m not sure if that’s still the case…either way looks like she picked up some skills:
MOVING ON
I didn’t catch many episodes of Tiny and Toya, but from what I did see, Toya wasn’t really over Wayne yet Apparently that’s not the case anymore. She has been dating Memphitz, the man who discovered T. Pain & Huey, the host of BET’s The Deal and an alumni of the last school I got kicked out of (Institute Of Audio Research). They have taken their relationship to the next level and went and got matching tattoos. Guess they’re all in.
Memphitz:
Antonia Carter (Toya):
I’M JUST SAYIN’Ne-Yo is dating the woman that Steve Mcnairs mistress thought was coming between them, causing her to snap. This just doesn’t sound good.Uh ohhhhhh … One of Tiger’s jawns is shopping a tell-all where she will reveal that he sleeps with men.Maino predicts RiRi’s gonna give us some girl-on-girl action this year … *fingers crossed* he WAS right about her and CB.I know the Lil’ Wayne thing was a joke…in case that wasn’t clear.FYI Matt Kemp is no stranger to dating R&B chicks…his ex is Letoya Luckett:
MAJOR MAINSTREAMHip-Hop is like a soap opera nowadays so naturally rappers would start popping up on actual soap operas. Snoop Dogg recently guest starred on an episode of One Life To Live slated to air next month. Check out the behind the scenes footage.
Speaking of Snoop … he also popped up on CBS’s I Get That A Lot where celebrities try to convince regular people they are also regular people who just look like celebrities:
PEACE – CHANCECDR @ Twitter Facebook or Gmail
MISS MOUTH’S RUMORS!Here are a few rumors from Miss Mouth…
Did anyone else hear that Luda
is having a hard time promoting the Cognac that he endorses?
And by the way . Im gonna need
Letoya Luckett to get some PROFESSIONAL DANCERS instead of her friends
& nem from her boutique. And folks need to hop off Beyonces
case. If she supports terrorism, well thats her business. Yall are
mad that nobody is offering to pay yall 2 milli for a private performance!
I dont know about you losers but for 2 million dollars I would perform
for Bin Laden himself. [lol…illseed cannot condone such ideas]
OKAY, IM THINKING THAT
MAYBE I SHOULDNT HAVE TYPED THAT
And how in the h*ll is Uncle
Russy gonna defend her? Wasnt he the one who blew her cover by twitting
the pics? I heard that she was denying the performance at first.
Twitter is getting everyone
in trouble these days . And I love it!
MONIQUE
Did you know that MoNique’s stylist was killed by her own husband. And then the sick bastard
drove around for two days with the body still in the car. That is horrible,
they should throw his a**under the jail. Here is the statement:“We are all saddened by Maureen’s passing but we also rejoice in having
had the opportunity to know her sweet, soulful spirit. Live each day to
the fullest.”
DENNIS RODMAN’S CRAAAAAAAAAAAZY!
Did anyone else see this fool
on Celebrity Rehab? Why would he be ordered by the court to attend
rehab if he didnt have a chemical dependency? Dr. Drew was giving
him the business. Dennis is very entertaining but he comes off as extremely
arrogant, disrespectful and rude. Illseed, now who does that sound like J
Heidi Fleiss, the queen of the w#####, is also on this season along
with Americas Next Top Model reject Lisa. This season is proving
to be off of the hook!!!
B2K
What in the h*ll is going on
with pop stars lately? Former B2K member J.Boog joins the ranks of other
Teeny Boopers that will Beat A B*tch To The White Meat. Below
he responds to the allegations;
I wanted to reach out
to my fans right away to clear up the allegations circulating the web.
I did not get charged with any form of domestic violence against the
mother of my children. I love and respect all of the women in my life
and would never harm any of them. Domestic violence is a very serious
matter and one that should be treated that way, however this was not
a case of domestic abuse. I was taken into custody due to outstanding
traffic violations. I took care of the situation, no charges were filed,
and I was released Tuesday evening. Thank you to my fans who stood by
me regardless of any circulating rumors. I am looking forward to a great
year in 2010 for Fizz & Boog and hope that you will continue to
support. Thank you. -Jarell Boog Houston

Hip-Hop Rumors:UK Rapper Death Threats Juelz! Jamie Foxx’s Rapper Beef? Mystikal Outta Jail?
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.
JAMIE FOXX GOT A BEEF?
Jamie Foxx got a beef with an unknown dude out in Miami, because Jamie Foxx ran up in his baby’s mother. Uhm…this is possible. Jamie’s a a wild and crazy kind of guy from what I can tell. Anyway, I am just searching around and I don’t really see anything about it online so it maybe be false. But, here is the kicker. Dude is supposedly a White rapper and he’s making a diss song about it. If it matters, dude’s baby moms is White too, according to this rumor. Their kid is allegedly 4 months old. I think dude should be mad at his child mom and quietly take the fail.
RAPPER THREATENS JUELZ SANTANA
I am going to post this so people can consider it a public service announcement. This guy is literally threatening the life of Juelz Santana.
It was unintentionally funny when he couldn’t get the picture to burn.
DANGER THREATENS RAY-J
I don’t know what people are thinking, but Danger is claiming she was locked in a mental institution just to shut her up! She also said that somebody’s got to pay her not to expose these people out here in the game, namely Ray-J. Her goal is to “get her paper” and people are going to need to pay since he has a kid now!
I can’t believe she is only 23. “I need a check Ray.”
MYSTIKAL OUT OF JAIL?
Mystikal maybe out of jail. According to rumors he got out this week. I don’t know about it, but that is the word. ASIDE from this rumor, it is my understanding that dude is going to be out this month anyway. I always felt in my heart he was somehow falsely imprisoned. I don’t know all the facts either. Anyway….I heard he’s out!
LIL JON’S BOYZ ARE COMING BACK!
Honestly, I don’t know if anybody cares about this one! But, I am hearing that Lil Jon’s guys Bo and Peep….The Eastside Boyz are coming back out on Universal. This is one rumor I just find hard to believe, because dudes never demonstrated anything rap-wise.
HOWARD STERN’S HOMEY’S SUICIDE ATTEMPT!
Artie Lange from Howard Stern on Sirius tried to commit suicide. The poor guy stabbed himself nine times, but most of them were minor. There were about three that were very deep and life threatening. My homey GooN tells me Artie is very funny. I mean, I don’t know him or his work, but you never know what is going on in folks minds.
BOW WOW IS HEATED AT DJ DRAMA!
For some reason, DJ Drama opted not to do the new mixtape from Bow Weezy…we’ll what does Wow Wow do? He gets on Twitter.
MORE RIHANNA PICS!
Rihanna is going hard with this new dude, Matt Kemp. She may want to slow down a bit. But, that’s me.
KEYSHIA COLE IS ENGAGED!
Here is the statement from her PR team:
“[The engagement came as] an absolute surprise] When he asked her to marry him, she was flabbergasted. He presented her with the ring and her mouth dropped in amazement. Its too beautiful for words.
ILLSEED’S QUICKIES
Ja Rule is working on a new 50 Cent diss, I am hearing. I think he should work on that next hit.
Word is The Clipse are looking for a new record deal.
Did you hear the new Young Buck diss? Click here…this is the best one yet.
Remember the Lost Boyz? They reportedly are working on a movie that explains the group’s story to all that…don’t know the group’s story.
Get better to Gary Coleman! He had a lil’ seizure and was taken to the hospital.
Oh yeah…the Pac Man vs Mayweather fight is off. Manny Pacquiao won’t allow himself to be tested at random. Sounds fishy.
Lil Boog from B2K is saying he was arrested over traffic violations, not beating his baby mama.
EPIC FAIL OF THE DAY!
People are so stupid on Twitter! Some dude claims that he made a bet with T.O. that Terrell Owens would catch at least 10 toouchdown passes. If T.O. didn’t do so, that he would be awarded the football players BENTLEY. Well, the man checked the stats and has reportedly “won” the bet. Now, he is seeking the Bentley to be awarded to him. Uhm…FAIL.
MARIAH EXPLAINS HER DRUNKEN SPEECH!
LIKE A BOSS! EPIC WIN OF THE DAY!
Why is this dude better than most rappers out now? LMAO!
AND FOR THOSE HATING ON ILLSEED:
Yall haters get the Shaq Face!

Promoter Accused Of Scamming $25 Mil Using Fake Concerts
(AllHipHop News) A promoter in Arizona has been indicted on federal charges that he bilked investors out of over $25 million dollars, by promoting phony concerts.
Dezert Heat Entertainment is accused of acting like a promoter of concerts featuring artists like 50 Cent and G-Unit, Mariah Carey, Shakira, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw and others.
According to the federal complaint, Miko Dion Wady scammed 140 investors out of the $25 million using a sophisticated Ponzi scheme.
Investors claim that they would be repaid with substantial interest from ticket revenues, but they were never compensated and the investments were never used to promote concerts.
The investors 37-count indictment claims that they were victims of an elaborate a scheme headed by Wade, who simply repaid them with money from earlier investors, until the scheme collapsed.
Wade would produce fake insurance receipts, bogus contracts and copies of fraudulent certified checks that were supposedly issued to book various talent and entertainers.
Federal officials claim that Wade only promoted 10 concerts between 2004 and 2009.
The indictment claims Wade used at least $3 million of the investors money to finance a lavish lifestyle that included a fleet of luxury cars, a boat, jet skis jewelry, and multiple homes.
Federal authorities also charged Wade with money laundering and wire fraud.
10 Biggest Stories of 2009 #5 Beanie Sigel Attacks Jay-Z
Following the release of the highly-successful Blueprint 3, Rocafella artist Beanie Sigel used the second half of 2009 to call out his former mentor Jay-Z.
The private issues became public when Sigel released the diss track Average Cat, which he justified as appropriate retaliation to lines on Jay-Zs What We Talkin Bout.
On Jays track, the mogul raps Grown men want to sit on my lap/But I aint got a beard and Santa Claus aint black.
Sigel counters by accusing Jay of having police force him out of the Power 99 Powerhouse concert in October.
The rapper Shawn called the police on me/Cause I was front row at the Blueprint 3, Siegel raps. S###, I just wanted to see him MC, and reminisce on when we was the R.O.C./But he called all the C.O.Ps, not only that, he brought out the F.E.Ds/So thats telling me F You Sieg,/so F you too and F Bleek three.
In an interview with Charlamagne tha God on 100.3 The Beats Morning Show, Sigel elaborated further that he felt Jay did not push the supporting members of Roc-A-Fella as he should have.
Jay in another place and I understand that. He did what he did as far as signing people to Roc-A-Fella Records, you did that, Sigel told Charlamagne Tha God. But as far as the push that people coulda got that really could have did things, you didnt do that. If you look at 50 Cent – no disrespect to the G-Unit, cause I love the way 50 Cent did with his dogs – but if you look at it, them dudes got more money and more bread than anybody in State Property. Because 50 made sure of that. 50 took his people on tour and paid them, not tell them it was a good look for them to be on tour.
Jay-Z chose to respond a press conference interview with the site www.larueduhiphop.com.
Beanie Sigel, to be honest and you can look it up, just to be honest was driving two Bentleys. I dont know how, Jay-Z said. Its impossible to drive two cars at the same time. With his momma in the sticks, selling 800,000. I dont know what more you can do for somebody.
What people choose to do when they obtain that type of success, at some point you gotta look in the mirror and look at yourself, Jay continued. Beanie Sigel had a record deal, a record label and a clothing line and never went platinum. Ever. I dont know in the history of rap has anyone done so much with so little. So, I dont know what more can you do for a person at that point. A record deal thats normal. A record label and a clothing line. If thats not pushing the person s###.
Sigels words became more confrontational in November, when he aligned himself with Jay-Z rival 50 Cent. The Queens emcee had recently begun insulting his fellow mogul in interviews with references such as Mr. Knowles after quote from Jay stating no one is afraid of 50 Cent.
According to 50, it was Jay-Z who blocked a potential deal to bring Sigel to G Unit.He [Beanie Sigel] would have got at least $800,000 at that point to come over, 50 Cent told Miss Jones on Power 99 in Philadelphia. Jay was telling him that he didnt want to lose him. I think Jay and Puffy had these feelings toward me at one point I believe. They didnt want to lose anything to me, while their energy was going on. Puff didnt want to sign the Mase deal and Jay didnt want to do that.
Sigel and 50 furthered their words for Jay with the collaboration I Go Off. On the song, 50 ridicules Jay-Z over the allegation that money has changed his values.
You changed man. You let the money change you Jay, 50 accused. Yous a pass the Grey Poupon n####. N#### feed the wolves or the wolves eat you. Eat your ass alive.”
He’s a crumb. Im putting my foot on his neck til he responds. Please make a record, cause a week been out dog, Sigel added in November. Not taking nothing from Jay as an artist. All Im saying is I aint gotta jog to keep up with him. Watch what I do next.
To date, Jay-Z has not addressed Beanie Sigel or 50 Cent outside of his initial comment on the situation.
Beanie Sigel has proclaimed that he is now signed to G Unit, although whether the partnership is official legally has not been verified.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Final Word On Ross v Mayweather! Russell Defends Beyonce!
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.
Man, this is a crappy rumor day. I’ve been sitting and waiting for something to happen. Nothing is happening right now. Here is what I have so far…screw me. Email me with whatever you think I need to know
THE LAST WORD ON ROSS VS MAYWEATHER
Ross didnt leave. Both parties simmered down and chilled and its pics of Ross in VIP with his Ace of Spades looking very happy after the fact. Real Talk I know street dudes that are NICE with their hands that arent considered legal and dont have to wear gloves that will give Floyd the wake up call he (and 50) needs. Im talking broken jaws and necks from just throwing punches. Remember this: Floyds nice, but hes fighting HIS weight class, hes fighting with gloves, hes fighting controlled. All that s###s out the window in the streets. Floyds not a threat to anyone.
BIG JOE DEADS BOOK!
Do you know Big Joe? He manages Cam’ron or used to manage him. Anyways, Big Joe was all prepared to do this huge book revealing all these industry goings on and secrets. Suddenly, he’s not doing it! What? I was really looking forward to Joe giving me a good 109 years of rumors. Here he is talking about the book.
BRAZILIAN FANS
Check this out. These dudes are running for Beyonce like she’s freaking Michael Jackson! Maybe she is the modern day MJ…sorta…kinda…not really.
Brazilian fans are like Michael Jackson fans THEY GO HARD!!! She wasnt scheduled to perform there so peeps from Brazil twittered Angie (her cuz/asst.) and begged for her to do a show there. The entire country (seems like) even did a video begging her to come there. Well, it worked, shes there for a few shows which have sold out. I saw pics the other day for people standing on a line that was 5 blocks long!!! These fans put Mike Jackson fans to shame.RUSSELL DEFENDS BEYONCE!
“I am amazed at the hypocrisy of the international medias attack on Beyonce for her performance at Nikki Beach in St. Barts over the holidays. While I personally do not have any business dealings with Libya, Muammar al-Qaddafi or his family, Libya is a state recognized by the current and previous US administrations and is now crawling with new investments from so called blue-chip US execs and corporations with the encouragement of our State Department. Why is the media not calling out the famous CEOs who were at the event and invested with the family and in the country instead of demonizing the evening’s entertainment? I in no way forget the events of 21 years ago, and also understand that recent events have opened up many old wounds. But I must point out that the rash of Islamphobic words and images directed at a singer are deeply hypocritical in light of US policy and corporate activity designed to bring Libya into the world community.”ILLSEED’S QUICKIES
Jamelia may not be 50’s cash cow. I’m not going to disparage her character, but lets just say I got some rumors that suggest all is not what it seems.
We did a rumor yesterday that suggested that Beyonce and Kelly aren’t friends. From what I heard, they do speak. Kelly was even at Jays 40th. That’s cool!
A grandson President Reagan was arrested early Thursday in Los Angeles for resisting arrest. He has been released.
SIGNS THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END
A young police officer has found himself in hot water, terrestrially and possibly spiritually, after partaking in carnal pleasures while visiting a local house of worship.
A 26-year-old German policeman is facing serious disciplinary action after he was caught having sex with a woman in church in the middle of service.
The young officer of the law was seen engaging in the act by a woman that was visiting the Catholic church, located in Rennertshofen, as she visited holy building during early morning service. The woman and officer reportedly fled the scene upon discovery; unfortunately, witnesses recognized the duo and turned them in.
Hans-Peter Kammerer, spokesman for the regional police, told local media that the man is facing several disciplinary actions, including a charge of disturbing religious activities, which carries a three year prison sentence.
What is your take on this develoment Hip-Hop Heads?
Should this man serve three years behind bars for getting it on in the middle of church service???
I LOVE THIS SONG!
Bangs is the illest!!!

Army Specialist Jailed Over Rap Lyrics
(AllHipHop News) An Army Specialist has been thrown in jail, after being accused of making threats against other soldiers in a rap song.
Iraq war veteran specialist Mark Hall was based at Fort Stewart, Georgia.
He’s been in custody since December, charged with conduct prejudicial to the good order and discipline of the Armed Forces and for threatening violence on multiple occasions.
Hall’s lyrics on a rap song posted to the Internet threatened to kill Colonels, Captains, Kernels, E-7s and above, using his M4 assault rifle.
Officials have charged Hall for threatening to go on a rampage and attack other soldiers if he was deployed to Iraq again.
Hall also allegedly mailed a copy of the song to the Pentagon this summer, when he received notice that he would be sent back to the Middle East again for another tour of duty.
According to Stripes.com, Hall belongs to Iraq Veterans Against the War. The antiwar group is attempting to hire James Klimaski, a Washington-based lawyer to represent Scott.
Klimaski said that the allegations against Hall were trumped up and that the Army Specialists lyrics should not be taken literally.
Hall was arrested just a month after Army psychiatrist Maj. Malik Hasan Nidal open fired and killed 13 people at a Fort Hood, Texas army base.

Vibe’s 10 The Most Anticipated Albums of 2010
2009 was a huge year for hip-hop and R&B. Jay-Z dropped his new classic, The Blueprint 3, spawning his first number one single, Empire State of Mind. Rick Ross humbled raps biggest bully 50 Cent with his third album, Deeper Than Rap. And Kid Cudi proved that you dont have to be named Kanye West to win with emo rhymes. 09 also saw the triumphant return of R&B heavyweights Maxwell and Whitney Houston.
This year looks to be just as major. Sabbaticals are being broken. “Papers” are being filed. Thug Motivation classes are back in session. And then there’s that Drake kid.
Check out the 10 projects VIBE is most amped about in the new year.
TEN
Andre 3000, TBD?Release Date: 2010??Expected Production: A studio loner, its likely Three Stacks solo LP will be mostly self-produced, but dont count out Outkast affiliates Rico Wade or DJ Swift.?Expected Collaborations: If 2003’s The Love Below is any indication, Andre will keep the guest list extra-exclusive. Partner-in-rhyme Big Boi may be the one and only guest spot, if any. ?Why The Buzz? Hip-hop heads collectively sighed after discovering Andre Benjamins deeper-than-rap raps were replaced by idiosyncratic crooning on his first solo effort, The Love Below. Today, lyricists from Fabolous to T.I. are hitting notes, and maybe thats a good thingfor thembecause each infrequent verse from Dre threatens that coveted hottest rapper alive title. While his inclusion here is wishful thinking, lets just hope his long-awaited rap LP isnt on a Detox-like schedule.
NINE
?Nas and Damien Marley, Distant Relatives (Tuff Gong/Def Jam)?Release Date: March 16, 2010?Production: Damien and brother Stephen handle the bulk of the album, but 9th Wonder and long time Nas collaborator Salaam Remi chip in also.?Expected Collaborations: Somali rhymer Knaan is featured on two cuts, while songstress Joss stone and legend Stevie Wonder lend their vocals for Our Generation.?Why the Buzz? For the first time, reggae and Hip-Hop unite for an entire album. And who better kick off such a happening than two of the best to do it in their respectable arenas? Gods Son and Bobs son will both preach and teach as expected, but also entertain. As We Enter, the albums first leak, promises the projects going to be equal parts patois and rap star.
EIGHT
Erykah Badu, New Amerykah, Part II (Return of the Ankh) (Universal Motown)?Release Date: Feb. 23, 2010?Expected Production: An eclectic lineup that includes 9th Wonder, Sa-Ra, James Poyser, Madlib, Karriem Riggins, the late J. Dilla and Ms. Badu herself. ?Expected Collaborations: Roots band leader/drummer ?uestlove offers his masterful hands. But the Lil Wayne-featured track Jump in the Air (one of 10 versions of a two-f#####, rap-funk sound clash that will feature 10 MCs) is floating around the web via leaked download.?Why the Buzz? The usually forward-thinking Badu gives a sincere nod to her jazzy torch song style that first made her a neo-soul superstar with 1997s Baduizm, making it one of her most accessible projects to date. Still, theres plenty of the left field brilliance of 2008s critically acclaimed standout New Amerykah, Pt. 1: 4th World War.
PREVIEW: Erykah Badu’s New Amerykah, Part II (Return Of The Ankh)
SEVEN
T.I., TBD (Grand Hustle/Atlantic)?Expected Release: TBD?Possible Production: Tip should have plenty of options. Expect him to pull from the likes of Just Blaze, DJ Toomp, Swizz Beatz and Kanye West.?Possible Collaborations: In the past, T.I.s worked with everyone from Jay-Z and Busta Rhymes to Justin Timberlake and Rihanna, so we expect more high-caliber cameos. An Alfa Mega sightingnot so much.?Why the Buzz? T.I.s only halfway out of jail, but reportedly already all the way back in the studio. For roughly six months, the kings been absent from his throne. Gucci Mane (now imprisoned) and a host of other Southern style MCs have emerged during his leave. Were anxious to see if hell put them back in their place.
SIX
Lupe Fiasco, Lasers (Atlantic)?Expected Release: Spring 2010?Expected Production: Instead of shelling out top dollars for super producers, Lupe works exclusively with his 1st & 15th producers Soundtrakk and Prolyfic.?Expected Collaborations: Contributions from his stable of artists, including Gemstones and Nikki Jean?Why the Buzz? While in the past Lupe dazzled true hip-hop heads with his intricate wordplay, hes always shirked the spotlight. After reneging on retiring from the game, though, hes now out to prove he should be No. 1 on everybodys list (see: his Thanksgiving mixtape, Enemy of the State). Which means more work for those still decoding metaphors from his last two albums, 2006s Food & Liquor and 2007s The Cool.
FIVE
Young Jeezy, Thug Motivation 103 (Def Jam)?Release Date: Feb. 9, 2010?Expected Production: Kanye West is the first producer invited to Mr. Birthday Bashs motivation party. After assisting Mr. West in Hawaii with 808s & Heartbreak in 2008, expect the Put On creator to give Jeezy a bunch of tools to teach. Southern beats kings Shawty Redd, Zaytoven and Drumma Boy will also lend a hand.?Expected Collaborations: Nothing is confirmed yet, but Jeezy reportedly has a wish list that includes Lil Wayne (featured on the leaked Scared Money), Eminem, Jay-Z and Kanye.?Why the Buzz? On his last album, The Recession, Jeezy took a break from talking about what could be to rap about what is. With the Americas economy headed back in the right direction, the snowmans back to being the traps go-to professor. Class is back in session.
FOUR
Sade, Soldier of Love (Epic)?Release Date: February 8, 2010?Expected Production: Producer Mike Pela has handled the boards since the smoky vocalists 1984 debut Diamond Life and will be featured on her sixth studio effort.?Expected Collaborations: Sades longtime bandmates, which include steady guitarist, sax man Stuart Matthewman and keyboardist Andre Hale, once again share writing duties with the Nigeria-born Brit.?Why the Buzz? Sades first new studio album since 2000s Lovers Rock has all the classic, haunting, soul searching hallmarks of her previous releases, as well as a few curve pitches. The title track and first single Soldier of Love sounds like a Sade-led Portishead scoring a 60s-era Sergio Leone spaghetti western while the groove-heavy Bring Me Home is destined to become a freestyle favorite for underground MCs.
THREE
Usher, Raymond vs. Raymond (LaFace)?Expected Release Date: March 2010?Possible Production: Ursh is getting help from old favorites like Jermaine Dupri, Sean Garrett, Rico Love, The Neptunes and Polow Da Don.?Expected Collaborations: Ushers sixth set will feature a few rappers including Nicki Minaj (as heard on the leaked Little Freak), Plies on Hey Daddy and possibly Jay-Z.?Why the Buzz? In an era where most artists pray for a gold album, Usher cursed the fact that he only went platinum with his mild-mannered 2008 effort Here I Stand. But Mr. Entertainments single again, meaning that hes cutting the monogamous lyrics loose and is back to macking like its 2004.
TWO
Kanye West, TBD (G.O.O.D./Def Jam)?Expected Release: Summer 2010?Possible Production: As usual, West is expected to handle the majority of the album’s melodies.?Possible Collaborations: Big brother Jay-Z will likely make an appearance along with Young Jeezy. Members of Wests G.O.O.D. team, Common, Mr. Hudson and Kid Cudi may also come aboard.?Why the Buzz? After taking three months off to get his clear his mind, it appears Mr. West has more to say than ever. And he’s starting fresh; as ‘Ye’s blog tells it, he made his grand return to the studio on New Year’s Day. 808s & Heartbreak, his eccentrically emo 2008 effort, featured the rapper singing his Auto-Tuned heart out. We’re hoping Yes next effort will be a hybrid of heart-on-sleeve croons and boisterous rhymes. Just look at all the cheers he received when he crashed Kid Cudis Nokia Theater stage last week. Theyre ready. And it appears he is, too.

ONE
Drake, Thank Me Later (Universal)?Expected Release: March 2010?Expected Production: His longtime collaborators Omen, 40 and Boi-1Da (Best I Ever Had). He also has studio sessions with Kanye West scheduled this January.?Expected Collaborations: Confirmed guests include Jay-Z, Lil Wayne and Bun B. And, last we heard, Drake was looking to nab Sade.?Why the Buzz? On top of a classic mixtape (thats right, classic) and an Eminem collabo, the golden boy of 2009 has one of the most anticipated debuts since 50 Cent. In many eyes, Drizzy hasnt spit a horrible verse or song yet (see: Forever, Fear), so the ball is his to drop. But with his sing-songy flow and witty stanzas, failure is unlikely.

Breeding Ground Joints: D. Mawls All Over The Place
D. Mawl offers a timeless track with “All Over the Place,” which recounts the inventions and contributions that African-Americans have made to this world. The song focuses on little known facts about inventors like Sarah Boone (ironing board), Jan Matzeliger (shoe shaper) and John A. Burr (rotary blade lawn mower). The track has already been featured on syndicated radio with Russ Parr, and its not even Black History Month. We opt to celebrate Black History year-round too. So, peep it and pay homage.
