THE DAILY TWO SENSE!

 

AllHipHop is getting into the movie game!!!! Whoooo! AllHipHop presents “King Of Paper Chasing!” This movie is good from what I understand nd now the money is coming to a theater near  you! Check the trailer below…Shout out to Triple Beam Entertainment! More on this later!

 

WHY IS JEEZY SAYING HE’S NOT DISSING RICK ROSS? BECAUSE HE’S NOT DISSING “THAT DUDE”

Here are some lines:

“How you Blowin’ Money Fast?/ You don’t know the crew/ Oh, you part of the fam?/ S**t, I never knew.”

 And I think Jeezy may have been talking about Coco when he said,“Got damn hoe/ You got dem massive t######/ might as well roll with me/ to Magic City.” Yeah, that’s it.

He tells MTV why its not a diss:

“It’s not a dis. First of all, I’m not gonna get nothing out of dissing that guy. That’s one. What am I gonna get out of dissing him? I think sometimes people can read into things too deep. They trippin’, man. They crazy out there. Basically, if homie takes that as a dis, he’s insecure, and anybody else out there who does, they are insecure. When it comes to that [Black Mafia Family] situation, I’m gonna talk about it a little flyer anyway,” Young added. “I happen to know that situation very well. But basically [‘Death B4 Dishonor’], it’s off a mixtape that’s coming out. My mixtape is coming out on Thursday, it’s called 1,000 Grams. I took all the records I liked and flipped them my way. It’s a gang of records on there like that. It’s like 12 joints, all records that I heard in the club that I like and flipped them my way.

Coco..what’s she gonna do with this kind of beef on her chest?

BRIAN PUMPER GETS DISSED

Maybe this will make Laurence Fishburne feel batter.

Sup with his tank top? And what’s up with jocking 50 Cent. Speaking of………………..

50 CENT PRANKED SHYNE

If you didn’t know, 50 Cent got Shyne good. He called him and pranked his Beliz counterpart. Click here to see it.

Here is Shyne’s part. I don’t know why he didn’t use the speaker phone unless he didn’t have it.

 

WHITNEY AIN’T FAT…SHE JUST GOT OLD!

I don’t know why people are acting like Whitney Houston is supposed to look like Ciara. Here she is now.

ILLSEED’S QUICKIES

Will Smith has made no donations to Sceientolgy in the last year at least, and this has people thinking Big Willie isn’t down  with the Tome Cruise cult anyway.

Rumor has it, Wyclef has an uncle in Haiti and, guess what? HE’S RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT!                        

Mike Jones retired? I am hearing he may have and is now focused on his artists. Mike Jones is readying the release of his new artist D-Bo on Ice Age Entertainment.. Mike Jones. I just wanted to say his name again.

Remember Mysterious from Da Band? I heard she is in jail for something. 

Crooked I is starting up his Hip-Hop Weekly series again! Dude is beastlike.

Tila Tequlia was not gonna let Montana Fishburne get all of the attention. She has already finished a p### for Vivid.

Apparently Jennifer Lopez has already been ousted as a judge on American Idol, because of excessive demands.

Charles Hamilton is out of that there mental hospital, I hear. Hope he stays out. He needs to get a job and try to assimilate if the game is driving him to Bellevue.

IS THIS A FAIL?

What’s Snoop trying to say here?

 

SIGNS THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END

An elementary school principal got robbed on the FIRST DAY OF CLASSES in Georgia. What the hell!? She got robbed by two students.

 

 

EPIC FAIL OF THE DAY

This ain’t funny so don’t you dare laugh. Peep this though. This damn idiot decides to rob a store manned by a 19-year-old kid. Well,  the robber made the ultimate sacrifice for his foolishness. He accidentally shoots the cashier and then almost at the same time a second bullet fires and kills himself with a bullet to the brain. Obviously, this isn’t funny….but do the right thing. The 19-year-old survived and managed to call 911.

 

  

  

  

   

50 CENT, WE LOVE YOU!

They

keep us talking, but if we

stop talking about them then

they should worry!

ChartWatch: Eminem Is No. 2 Again! Bun B Swoops In! Others Sell Slugglish!

ChartWatch for August 11, 2010

This week’s sales + albums dropping this week + me making

the occasional joke + a hatred for all things Black Eyed Peas =

ChartWatch.  That’s the formula.  Sometimes I tweak it a little.  For example, this week we don’t really have

any albums dropping so that drops out of the equation.  Plus, every once in a while I get a little hypocritical

and decide to listen to the Black Eyed Peas. 

I know…I know…its wrong…but I just…can’t…help…it.

Apparently Eminem, and the people behind him, have a formula

as well because he’s been on top, for the most part, since his seventh studio

album, Recovery, came out seven weeks

ago.  He dipped to number two last week and stays there for another week courtesy of indie rock group Arcade Fire.  Recovery

sells 151,729 copies bringing its totals to 1,998,940.  Wait…151,729

copies sold this week…Seventh

studio album….seven weeks ago….Eminem

was born on October 17, 1972. 

There are seven days in the

week.  There were seven swans a swimming.  Where

are the Illuminati watchers?  (Editor’s note: a seven or 7 a holy number and generally regarded as the mark of God…G-O-D, DeVaughn. Ok, goodbye.) I think I

found a clue an—

—What?…I have to stop? 

C’mon…it’s funny.  They’re funny.  They think EVERYTHING is a clue.  Fine.  I’ll stop getting them worked up.  I promise. 

I said I promise.—

Well it looks like I’ve just been told to stop making fun of

the Illuminati watchers.  From now on I’ll

treat ya’ll like people on the train.  I’ll

just nod my head in agreement and move on.   (Just to throw you guys a bone, for more

information about the illuminati check your local library or click here.  Truce?).

Your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper Bun B enters the

charts with his third solo album, Trill

O.G.  (Read about Bun and the new album

here).  The Port Arthur rapper takes the fourth spot

and enters the charts with 39,838 copies sold. 

Rick Ross drops from 3 to 6 with his fourth album, Teflon Don.  This week the Miami rapper moves another

38,268 copies bringing his total sales to 279,268. 

Drake’s, Thank Me

Later, takes a 3 spot dip as well and lands at number eight selling 31,678

copies.  Thank Me Later has sold a total 959,242.  Almost platinum.   Also, to clear up a little confusion, Drake

announced he was platinum a few weeks ago (here)

and he was right….kinda.  Platinum in

Canada is 80,000 units. (dropped down from 100,000 units).  Don’t believe me?  Look

it up.  80,000?!  Anyone can go platinum in Canada!  All jokes aside, give Drake a few more weeks

and he should hit platinum…American style. 

The group I love to hate, The Black Eyed Peas, comes in at

number 18 with their latest album, The

E.N.D.  They have sold a total of

2,703,131. 

B.o.B holds the 30th spot with his debut album, The Adventures of Bobby Ray.  This week the Atlanta MC moves 11,296 copies

bringing his total sales to 322,639. 

Keeping it in Atlanta is one-half of Outkast, Big Boi.  His debut, solo album Sir Luscious Left Foot The Son Of Chico Dusty sells 9,361.  That brings his totals to 123,176.  This is another one of those albums that is

pretty good but not doing the best sales-wise. 

Pick it up if you get a chance.

Well, that’s it for this week.  We should have some albums coming out next

week so that should be something to look forward to.  Got a question, or a suggestion, or an insult

(I see you Illuminati watchers!)?  Put it

in the comment section or on twitter.  See you next week.
