Master P. and Mark Wahlberg have teamed with Reachback LA and OneMillionGifts.org to serve meals in an area of Los Angeles known for crime and gang violence.
“This is our third year in this program, Master P. told AllHipHop.com. Its great for the community. We are able to give the homeless a hot Thanksgiving meal and feed families in need and that are struggling through these tough economic times.”
Reachback LAs founder expressed enthusiasm about the impact the event will have on the surrounding communities.
“Growing up in this community has been tough but Ive been able to overcome obstacles, Chico Brown said. Its wonderful to be able to give back and see the smiles on so many kids faces just happy to be able to have a Thanksgiving dinner.
The event will take place from 4PM-7PM at 1773 East Century Blvd. in Los Angeles.

Thomas Jones continues an illustrious career in the NFL, currently as a running back for the New York Jets.
The 31 year-old Virginia native has also played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and experienced a Super Bowl in 2006 with the Chicago Bears.
Thomas Jones
Thomas’ younger brother, Julius Jones, is also in the NFL with the Seattle Seahawks. After their parents spent a combined 20 years working in dangerous coal mines while raising seven children, they must be very proud of their two sons.
It may sound like humble beginnings, but Thomas credits his parents’ hard work and motivation for getting him and his siblings to where they are now.
Like his six siblings, Thomas went to college, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in psychology.
As much as he is known for being a pro athlete, we’ve also seen Thomas grace the gossip blogs many times as the beautiful Meagan Good‘s boyfriend (click under the jump for our exclusive interview with Jones).
These two have been spotted around town at various events and parties arm in arm.
Kiki recently got a chance learn more about the football star, including what fashion means to him from his favorite brands to who he considers a fashion icon and exactly what makes a woman stylish.
DrJays.com: What’s it like having your younger brother Julius also playing in the NFL? Are you guys very competitive?
Thomas: “I love having him in the NFL with me. We share a special bond, and it’s nice to have someone so close to you go through the same things. We always make sure to talk before every game to wish each other good luck, and find out what’s going on in each others life.
“As far as being competitive, we are not at all. If anything, I would rather him have a better game than me. Thats my little brother. Julius and his wife actually just had his second child, a baby boy. So in that aspect my little brother is ahead of me. I am very excited for him, and being an uncle is a great thing.”
Julius Jones
DrJays.com: What was it like playing in the 2006 Super Bowl with the Chicago Bears?
Thomas: “It was an amazing feeling, one that cant be put it into words. As a kid, being in the Super Bowl was something I always dreamed about, so actually getting to fulfill that dream is an amazing feeling. That’s something I’ll never forget.”
DrJays.com: Having been with the NY Jets for the past couple of years, do you feel the “Big Apple” lifestyle has influenced your fashion sense?
Thomas: “I’ve always been on top of new clothing styles, so New York didnt really influence me. New York did make it easier for me to purchase the more exclusive brands though.”
DrJays.com: We’ve seen you go from a plain white tee with Nike sneakers to a dapper suit. Do you prefer dressing in formal gear or keeping it casual?
Thomas: “I like being casual and comfortable. Dont get me wrong, wearing a nice suit is always fun and I enjoy it when the time calls for it. I’m a huge fan ofDolce & Gabbana, everything from their great fitting button-ups to their cologne, but usually you can find me wearing a white v-neck t-shirt, a hoodie and jeans. Some of my favorite brands are BAPE, Timberland, Red Monkey Jeans, Crooks & Castles, Billionaire Boys Club, Ciano Jeans (they fit great), Prada (hi-top sneakers), True Religion and Rock & Republic.”

DrJays.com: When it comes to ladies, what makes a lady stylish to you?
Thomas: “Shoes are very important to me. I am a huge fan of a girl who can wear a white t-shirt, jeans and stylish shoes with pretty toes. Growing up with five sisters has a lot to do with this! My sisters and my mother are stylish women and taught me all about shoes, more than I would like to know sometimes (laughs). I like stilettos and in terms of casual, I think those Louis Vuitton and Gucci sneakers are cool too.
“Beyond shoes, I like a girl that can switch her style up. Outfits dont always have to be name brand. A woman that can go into a thrift store and come out with a dope outfit is also attractive.”
DrJays.com: Do you enjoy fashion? Have you been more into it since you started your career with the NFL or do you now have a stylist to take care of that? Or perhaps a girlfriend…
Thomas: “I’ve always been interested in fashion. Since I was a kid, I always watched music videos, interview and movies, analyzing the fashion involved. If I liked something, I would research the price and where I could find it. Since I have always been into creating my own style, I shop by myself. Having the opportunity to play in the NFL has been a blessing and has put me in a financial position that allows me to purchase higher-end clothing.
“I think style is something you have to create for yourself, which is something I have worked very hard to achieve. I am not afraid to wear color, it fits my personality and I like to experiment with different designers and brands”.
DrJays.com: How do you feel about menswear going slimmer and cleaner in recent years? Do you still prefer your gear baggy?
Thomas: “I dont like baggy. As a CEO of a record label [Outta Pocket Entertainment], I can’t be seen as a sloppy dresser and I associate baggy with sloppy. I enjoy fitted, but not too tight. It gives off a classy look”.
DrJays.com: Who do you consider a style icon?
Thomas: “T.I. I think he does a good job of mixing his style up.
“A lot of cats think that you cant get respect with hoodie and jeans. T.I. does a good job of alternating styles between urban, casual and classy. It also presents a lot of opportunities in a professional and social environment.”
DrJays.com: Can you give our male readers a few tips for looking right at all times?
Thomas: “Never come out with something wrinkled on. It takes five minutes to iron a shirt or jacket. I think wrinkled clothes looks careless. I think you can wear a lot of things and as long as it looks clean its stylish and crisp.
“I also think men need to realize that you can mix high-end designer clothes with average brand name clothes. If you are decked out in too much of one designer you run the risk of looking like luggage”.
DrJays.com: Tell us something interesting that your fans may not know about you?
Thomas: “I never throw anything away; especially clothes and shoes. I’m very sentimental and always like to keep things around. You never know when it could be helpful. I do give clothes away, but I keep a lot. My family actually gives me a lot of heat for it. I pay for the extra storage just for my clothes!”
Check out DrJays.com and DJPremium.com to cop your own gear from some of Thomas’ favorite brands, like Crooks & Castles, Red Monkey, True Religion, Timberland and even Dolce & Gabbana cologne!
After initially stating his forthcoming prison sentence would be beneficial to his career, Louisiana emcee Lil Boosie is now remorseful and saddened about the term that will keep him behind bars for an estimated two years.
Boosie, real name Torrence Hatch, was originally convicted of a third offense for marijuana possession.
The jail term was then exacerbated when Boosie violated his house arrest order to complete two concert dates.
According to Boosie, his sentencing was based on his rap persona over his actual behavior, which was simply to provide support for his 7 children and another still to be born.
Also, the rapper had been sued before for not fulfilling show dates, and wanted to prevent any further legal complications before going to prison.
Theyre treating me on who they think I am. They judging me on Boosie Bad Azz, not Torrence Hatch, Boosie stated to Louisianas WAFB channel 9. I had to do these two shows these last two days to feed my family.
Aside from the marijuana convictions, Boosie has previous arrests on battery, weapons charges, and attempted bribery of a police officer.
This contentious history with the law is something Boosie admits is the result of his own reckless decisions.
I blame it on myself, because things I did I wanted to. Trouble is easy to get into, but its hard to get out. I wont be able to see my child born, yeah that hurts, he stated.
Although the marijuana conviction is his third, the 26 year old struggles to understand why his sentencing was so harsh after revealing he has an addiction.
If I made a mistake with marijuana, why am I not eligible for rehab? Boosie questioned. Ive been on marijuana since a teenager. I need some rehab. Jail is not rehab.
For his young fans, the reflective young rapper offered education as the main tool to stay away from the street life that encompasses his art.
School is the first thing, once you stay in school and make up your mind you want to be somebody, the negatives will go away, he explained. And stay away from the negative people.
At press time, Lil Boosie is in custody at Winn Correctional Center in Louisiana, and serving his two year sentence. Following its completion, he will be required to finish 5 years of probation.

THE REMIX: JAY-Z AND NAS ON EMPIRE STATE OF MIND
That is right.
You know what it is.
You are going to LOVE THIS.
JAY-Z AND NAS WILL JOIN FORCES FOR A REMIX OF EMPIRE STATE OF MIND.
You heard it here first, my friends. Tell ’em illseed told you! As you already know, there have been rumors that Nas was supposed to be on the original version, which is a very loose ode to his New York State of Mind. From various interviews, weve noticed that Nas has eluded the notion that he was unavailable for the original. I suppose this matters not at this point. All that matters is that FANS ARE IN FOR A TREAT!
When I say treat, I mean TREAT.
2010 is going to be a wonderful year.

WHOA KEYSHIA COLE PREGGERS?
One of my readers hit me with this picture of Keyshia Cole and said she looked like she was preggy preg. I looked at it and couldnt make a determination. Upon doing some review on the net, there are some rumors that Keyshia Cole has a bump on her belly. Shes dating this dude from the Cleveland Cavaliers. Well, she was in Cleveland and Bossip is saying she appears to be far into her pregnancy. NICE!
LLOYD P##### PEOPLE OFF?
Singer Lloyd was down in Australia I heard at the Gold Coast on the 21st of November. , The people that hit me up said that Lloyd acted like a d**k. They said homey didnt want to perform because there werent enough Black people in the crowd. First, I didnt know Lloyd was a Black militant and secondly, I can be called ignorant, but I didnt even know he was Black. He looks Middle Eastern or Caribbean or something. I could be wrong and if I am, sorry! Nevertheless, the Black people that were there emailed me and said, this is Australia not New Orleans. Anyway, he got on stage at 1 am they say and performed some skits and said he needed some Black girls. They said he wanted some sort of groupie love, but girls dont get down like that unless its a Jay-Z or a 50 Cent.

Editor’s note: The
views expressed inside this editorial aren’t necessarily the views of
AllHipHop.com or its employees.Hip-Hop, there is a need for me to be serious and state some facts that may encourage you to do things a little differently.
At a very rapid pace, music retail is dying. There are many reasons for this and we have our opinions on where to point the fingers. Right now that is not important. However, it is very important for you to know what genre of music this death will affect first.
Hip Hop is probably the most influential type of music there is. It has more than put its stamp on pop culture. But that is not good enough, because it is getting harder to find your favorite new hip hop disc in stores. Here are a few examples of what is happening to Hip Hop.
* Last week, Wale came out to a harsh reality. He thought he was hot, but some non traditional music retailers thought he was not and therefore bought very little to absolutely none of his debut cd. Fans relied on twitter to point them in the direction of the nearest music store to find Attention Deficit. (#attentiondeficit)
* A couple of weeks ago, Rick Ross’s group Triple C’s came out and sold a little over 12,000 copies. About 70% of these were sold at traditional/independent music stores.
* After calling three Mass Merchants inside the city of Atlanta, none of them had the newest Lil’ Boosie Cd. It was released on September 15, 2009. They pull you off the shelf pretty fast there huh? (While on that call a customer asked for the Wale CD, I told the employee to send him to the West End. She relayed the message and said…”We never got that CD.”)
* Then I decided to go on a hunt for an underground artist. Brooklyn MC Skyzoo’s debut release “The Salvation” was only available at 1 Mass Merchant out side the city of Atlanta. But they could not locate the disc in the store.
It is very important for me to say that this is not a shot at any store, record label, or artist. This is the harsh reality of the situation you may be in if you are a hip hop artist. And it is even more unforgiving if you are a hip hop fan.
70-80% of hip hop music is sold physically in stores and not digitally online. Where does that leave the artist with the major record deal if there is no music store and one mass merchant? Where does that leave the artist that just needs distribution if there is no music store and one mass merchant? Last but certainly not least, where does that leave the fan that just wants to go to the store and find their favorite new Hip-Hop CD?
I do believe that things will change one day. Change is inevitable. However as we wait for change to take place, Hip Hop will suffer. The real question is will it be able to survive?

AllHipHop ChartWatch for November 25, 2009
The moment of truth is here for 50 Cent. He got a favorable review in AllHipHop’s review section, but all eyes are on the SoundScan right now.
The Top 10 doesnt have a lot of Hip-Hop on it but we do have a new entry. Curtis 50 Cent Jackson enters the charts at in the fifth slot with his latest album Before I Self Destruct. The
queens MC managed to sell about 160,000 copies of his fourth disc which, to date, is
the lowest sales the rapper has produced.
The reviews for the album have been mixed but I will say that the movie
that comes with it is not bad. In fact
its pretty good. 50 has already come
forward and said that the album leaked from an international plant which is not
hard to believe. The album was
everywhere but is that the reason for the low sales? What do yall think? Nevertheless, this is a hater’s wet dream! The next question is how does an MC that has
always spent a lot of time focusing on numbers (especially the numbers of
rappers he doesnt like) deal with the fact that his latest album hasnt put up
good numbers. I hope its go back to the
studio (hungry) and put out another album.
Well see.
Next
up are the Black Eyed Peas who sell 32,000 copies of The E.N.D and grab the 27th They are followed by Jay-Z and his eleventh
studio album The Blueprint 3. The disc takes the 32nd spot
selling 29,000 copies. spot.
Thats
it for the week so onto the new albums.
Dropping
This Week
First up
this week is Birdman. Now you know that
hes not the best rapper. You know
it. I know it. Hell, he knows it. He does, however, know how to put together an
album with a lot of good rappers. His
new album Pricele$$ features Drake,
Lil Wayne, Gudda Gudda, T-Pain, Bun-B, Mack Maine, Gucci Mayne, Flo Rida, Rick
Ross, Lil Kim, and Nikki Minaj. Some of those
guests are on the bonus edition of the cd so look out for that one. Hey, he got Nikki and Kim on a song together I
wonder what that song will be about?
This is pretty much a compilation album so if you like Young Money youll
probably want to check this one out.
The next “artist” has (somehow)
become a controversial figure in Hip Hop.
Every time he says something its sure to get a lot of commentary in
chat rooms, message boards, barber shops, beauty salons, and dorm rooms across
the country. Thats right.
The one and only dangerous MC.
Bill Cosby. Ok, hes not an MC but
he is coming out with an album. Bill Cosby
Presents the Cosnarati: State of Emergency
is the comedian/activists latest venture to reach the Hip Hop community. It features three rappers, Jace the Great, Brother Hahz and Supa Nova Slom,
with production by Ced-Gee of the Ultramagnetic MCs and William
Patterson. You might not know Patterson
but you know his music. The producer had
done work on everything from the Cosby show to albums by Alicia Keys and LL
Cool J. I respect what Cosby is trying
to do but I do know one thing The music better be good. Positive negative in between no one listens
unless its good. People listen to Talib
Kweli and 50 Cent for one reason they like the music. If the music is not good the point will never
get across. Well see if Bill gets his
point out.
The Boot
Camp Clik is releasing is releasing Triple
Threat which is essentially a collection of the three discs: Sean Prices Monkey Barz, 9th Wonder &
Buckshots Chemistry, and Smif N
Wessuns Reloaded. All three of the albums have received some
decent reviews and have been out for awhile.
If you havent had a chance to listen to any of them then nows your
chance because all three are being sold for the price of one.
Pittsburgh
MC Wiz Khalifa has left Warner Bros. and is now releasing his second album Deal or No Deal. The album only has a few features so for the
most part its an all Khalifa affair. Fans
of his first album Show and Prove
should be looking out for this one.
Who owns Death
Row Records now? Seems like every week
they are changing owners. Either way the
label is putting out a four disc box set that features artists from the labels
beginning, like Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, to its most recent, including Crooked I
and Petey Pablo. (Yall forgot Petey Pablo was on Tha Row, huh?). The set also has a DVD as well as unreleased
material from Death Row artists.
Thats it
for this week. Pick up and album or
two—-you know what? Pick up four. An album or four. Get someone up on these charts.

West Coast rapper 40 Glocc and Lil Boo have released a reply to Plies diss record Letter to the Industry, in the latest round of Hip-Hop beef.
The pair dropped the track Return to Sender today (November 24th), in reply to Plies Letter.
At the end of Return to Sender, the rappers sample a clip of a December 2008 interview conducted with an elderly woman who claimed she was Plies grandmother.
The woman speaks about Plies rap career which, she claims is a fraud.
I just want to let yall know I did not give him that name, I dont know where he got that name from, the elderly woman says at the end of the track. He aint got no stripes in the streets, he never, ever lived that life, that was his brother.

“Return to Sender is taken from 40 Glocc and Zoo Lifes upcoming album Concrete Jungle, which will be available for downloads in the iTunes store on December 8th.
The physical CD will be available in January of 2010.

A concert featuring rap group the New Boyz turned into chaos yesterday (November 23) in downtown Roanoke, Virginia.
Hundreds of people showed up at the Red Clay Restaurant to see the popular duo during a benefit concert sponsored by local station Jammin WJJS.
The event quickly spiraled out of control when guests were forced outside, due to the large amount of people in attendance at the concert.
Witnesses told local News7 that police pepper sprayed the crowd, including women and children, as they waited in line, some as long as two hours.
The police came and stated that it was over capacitated and that they needed everyone to leave, a witness stated. We was still on the sidewalk with the kids and the police officers, they threatened the crowd to pepper spray, and so the crowd didnt move. And then they maced us and they obtained some kids and it was just a lot of raucous going on and they had the street blocked off. It was just a lot of problems.
Police spokesman Aisha Johnson denied witness reports.
According to Johnson, one man was pepper sprayed and arrested, although the nature of this charges were known at press time.
Witnesses stated that the New Boyz only performed one song, before the show was ended.
The disruption marks the second time this month a New Boyz show has ended prematurely.
On November 8th, a free concert in Flint, Michigan was ended early due to multiple fights breaking out in Genesee Valley Center Mall.
The New Boyz are currently on the road promoting their album Skinny Jeans and A Mic, which is in stores now.
