“What I Wanna Be”

T-Pain, Fabolous Squash “D.O.A.” Beef

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: News

In response to a recent interview by Jay-Z, singer T-Pain has clarified the reasons for the recent disparaging words about the mogul at a Las Vegas show.

 

Last week, rapper Fabolous via Twitter and a video displayed T-Pain saying “f**k Jay-Z” and chastising the emcee as “old” and out of touch with today’s music scene.

 

In an interview on Ed Lover’s Morning Show, T-Pain explained his ire came from what he perceived as Jay-Z’s disrespect to him earlier this summer at NY’s Summer Jam.

 

“This isn’t the first time I’ve said it,” T-Pain stated. “I called Jay and said yo, can you come out during my set at the stadium and do the ‘DOA’ song? It would be a big look for me and you. I embraced the song…at the time he said he was triple-booked in Switzerland. I’m ready to go on after a Jeezy set and they said ‘hold on because Jay-Z is about to come out.’ I said well Jay-Z’s in Switzerland, and they’re like no he’s not he’s right there. I look and then there’s Jay-Z. That’s one thing.”

 

While some may perceive the issue is trivial, T-Pain argues the situation was exacerbated once the pair got on stage together for “D.O.A.”

 

“Then the line in the song where he says ‘I don’t need nobody smiling at this’ he pointed at me,” T-Pain revealed. “And at the end of the song when I tried to shake his hand he said ‘good riddance.’”

 

In related news, Fabolous called into the Angie Martinez Show yesterday (September 9) and revealed that he and T-Pain had squashed their beef, which began after the “f**k Jay-Z” comments.

 

Fabolous tweeted a number of disparaging remarks aimed at T-Pain, who is a featured producer on Fab’s new album Loso’s Way.

 

Fabolous made comments about T-Pain after hearing disparaging remarks about Jay-Z during T-Pain’s set at a club in Las Vegas last week.

 

He also mistakenly responded to a phony Twitter account that read “f**k Jay-Z and f**k Fabolous.

 

“He was doing his set and then in between each song, he just would go in on Jay. And I was like I can’t be from Brooklyn and just listen to this, I just felt like I had to say something

 

“He text me and said to call him and I called him. I apologized really because I kinda jumped out the window a little bit and didn’t check into it before I knew what I was doing, so I apologized for that. And he explaining the whole thing with Jay, how he felt like Jay was coming at him a little bit.”

Hexmurda’s Column: The Vice Of Fame

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: Uncategorized

Whutupdoe…I had this great article written out about one of the mainstays in entertainment for people of color.

 

If I do say so myself, I WENT THE F**K IN.

 

Unfortunately, someone called a Klan meeting and shut the piece down.

 

Oh,the humanity.

 

It was brilliant.

 

Extravagant.

 

Monumental.

 

F**king awesome.

 

Gnarly.

 

Oh,well.

 

If you n***as keep thinking there aren’t Powers That Be overseeing everything, even what you listen to, read and write, then you may as well put the collars on your own necks and whip yourselves.

 

Whatever, f**k it now.

 

I’m sure that piece will show up somewhere, floating around like the Willie Lynch letter. As a matter of fact, I can guarantee it.

 

So…what do we talk about today…oh, I know.

 

Let’s talk about FAME.

 

Naw, not Coco and Leroy “FAME”, not even Jay-Z fame.

 

Let’s talk about n***as being famous for no f**king reason.

Over 40 years ago, Andy Warhol said that in the future everybody will be world-famous for 15 minutes.

 

That n***a was like f**king Nostradamus.

 

It seems that people are becoming famous (or infamous) for some of the dumbest s**t.

 

Lorena Bobbitt, John Wayne Bobbitt, Devin Brown,Octo Mom, Monica Lewinsky, Jon and Kate, Rodney King, Superhead, Tila Tequila, etc.

Those are just names off the top of my head, but at first glance it appears that you can become famous for sucking d**k, having a bunch of kids, getting beat the f**k up, or getting your d**k cut off. Great.

 

I don’t want to be famous that muthaf**king bad.

 

But some people do.

 

As a matter of fact, A LOT of people do.

 

That’s why we’ve got all these dumb-ass reality shows, like “Survivor,” “Big Brother” and “The Apprentice.” These are kind of like Reality Game shows, where you win prizes throughout while facing eliminations and s**t. Winning the grand prize is surely a great reward, but I don’t think that’s what everyone is there for.

A lot of them are there to become famous.

 

 

Come on, dog. I know you didn’t think those chicks on Flavor of Love REALLY wanted to marry f**king Flavor Flav, did you? That s**t just proved to me that some women will do ANYTHING to be on TV.

Maybe a couple of those slores on the Ray-J show did want to get a Kardashian facial from Brandy’s brother, but most of them just wanted to be featured in Eye Candy.

 

The funniest s**t about the nimrods on those shows is that they’re only famous until the next season starts, then they’ve got a whole new cast of human clay to play with, and the old cast members are like dust in the wind.

 

Remember the “Real World”?

 

I don’t remember anybody from that s**t except Kevin Powell, Heather B. and Coral.

 

Oh, and when Kenny Anderson’s broad and that dumb white chick tried to say that dude David from “House Party 3” was a rapist because he pulled her covers off.

 

What are we on, “Real World 49, Mars”?

They’re running out of cities. We should be coming up on “Real World, Compton” pretty f**king soon.

I can’t wait to see that s**t.

 

The problem with getting on TV is that it can get messy, time consuming. Audition tapes, casting calls, call backs, etc. Who needs all that s**t when you’ve got the Greatest Invention In The World (thanks Al Gore), the Internet right at your fingertips to lead you directly to the Second Greatest Invention in The World-youtube.

That’s right ladies and jerks, the great youtube!

ANYBODY can become famous on youtube. All you need is a camera and a dumb f**king idea (like you can rap).

Yup, with youtube, even YOU can create dumb ass songs/dances and sit back and wait for Mr. Collipark to come scoop you up in a stretch limo.

 

S**t, with youtube you can have your own f**king CHANNEL and broadcast your WHOLE F**KING LIFE. If you’re already famous, you can even make your girlfriend famous.

 

But a funny thing can happen with fame.

 

It can consume you.

 

It can become YOU.

 

Whatever persona a person creates to achieve a desired level of fame can eat said person alive.

 

Seems like everybody wants the cameras pointed at them. Not just their own cameras, but everybody elses, too.

 

The problem is, you can’t control all of them.

Sooner or later they’re gonna catch you taking a s**t.

 

So what does all this s**t have to do with Hip-Hop?

EVERY-F**KING-THING.

 

Rappers these days want to be seen, they want to be the topic of discussion, they want to be the Main Attraction. Unfortunately, only a few can achieve that status through actual talent, others have to resort to other means to get attention. Some n***as go on youtube and do a music video a day,or go on other sites like WSHH and basically just talk s**t about other rappers. No music, or actual raps, just calling some other dude a b####.

 

Rappers want the spotlight at any cost, if it’s creating fake or real beefs, or incriminating themselves on audio or visual. They don’t give a f**k.

 

They’re all screaming “LOOK AT ME!” and trying to see who can

scream it the loudest.

 

Sometimes you scream and get the wrong peoples attention.

Then THEY’LL make you famous.

 

N***as always wanna be in the Public Eye. Well, the Public Eye doesn’t shut, kids. You can’t just be famous when you feel like it.

Get too famous, and you can end up involuntarily becoming a hermit, or with pictures of your private area plastered all over public newsstands.

 

Gotta be careful what you wish for.

 

The quest for fame and glory evidently knows no boundaries.

Sooner or later some nobody is gonna go on youtube or ustream and cut their d**k off, and they’re gonna become The Most Famous Person In The World.

 

For about 15 minutes.

 

Then somebody else is gonna blow their f**king brains out live and in color, and take that title.

 

Then the penis amputee is just gonna be The Guy With No d**k, and the Suicidal Exhibitionist is just gonna be dead.

 

Bow Wow: On Drake, Wayne, Omarion, Chris Brown, Ciara & More

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: Features

In the second part of this exclusive interview with Bow Wow, AllHipHop.com talked to the young rapper about many of his affiliations and peers. The new Cash Money Millionaire was open and candid.

AllHipHop.com: You’re an artist that has been in the music industry since birth. What has it been like growing in that atmosphere?

Bow Wow: Everyone already knows my story. Snoop discovered me at the age of five. The reason why I’m different than a lot of other rappers is because of my upbringing. I have always had people like Jermaine Dupri and Snoop in my corner to guide me and teach me the fundamentals about Hip Hop. I always credit that to why I am here and able to do what I do. There’s no telling where I would be if I hadn’t have met these guys early on in my career. I was on The Chronic tour with Snoop, Dre, and Tha Dogg Pound. Not to be cocky but people should check my resume. I was around when Onyx was hot and not too many people can say that. It’s a blessing for me to be young then and to still be young now. It’s amazing and a blessing.

When it came time to sign again I didn’t know if I could trust another major. I had a lot of deals on the table but I wanted to go in a different route. I, not only, wanted to be surrounded by people who want to win, but to also bring what I do to the table and help make everything bigger. I felt comfortable signing with them. I know them. They are good guys and right now we are number one.

1993: When Lil Bow Wow appeared on “The Arsenio Hall Show”

AllHipHop.com: You and Lil Wayne both started your rap careers at relatively young ages. He, however, is not pigeonholed into the box of child rapper. Do you feel Cash Money will be the label to help you reach that broader audience?

Bow Wow: Oh most definitely. If you just look at the rooster that’s on Cash Money you can see that we are a label like no other. We have Kevin Rudolph who had the “Let It Rock” record. We have the number one pop record. By having that on board and so accessible I feel that Cash Money will be able to help me reach an audience that I never had. Given that we have these different genres of music over here at Cash Money, I definitely believe that can help expand my audience. I’d like to help bring the Hollywood side to Cash Money. I have a new movie with Ice Cube and I’m in and out of Hollywood so in a way it’s a win-win for me and the label.

AllHipHop.com: Looking at the acting side of your career, are there any other movies besides the Ice Cube one coming out?

Bow Wow: Right now the big thing is just Lottery Ticket with Ice Cube which I’m going to start shooting in October. Right after that I plan on releasing some singles. I’m already in the studio recording with Cool and Dre but right now I’m just messing around. I’m going to officially drop something in the fall so expect something big from me.

AllHipHop.com: On a side note, the Chris Brown/Rihanna incident is back in the news because of the Larry King interview. You were one of the first artists to come forward in with him and you were even in a youtube video with him afterwards. What is your take on how the situation is progressing?

Bow Wow: Chris is my brother. I hold him down. Even on the Larry King interview he spoke about his real friends and I’ve always been there for him. Right now I feel like the situation is kind of old. And I feel like I can speak for Chris’ fans when I say we just want to see him do what he is good at, and known for doing, which is entertaining. He’s in the studio working hard. He’s got his head up high. I speak to him every other day and it’s cool. We understand the circumstance and we’ll deal with him but Chris will overcome everything. He’s grinding right now and these things will only make him stronger. He’s gonna turn all the negative energy into positive energy.

AllHipHop.com: Let’s move from that relationship over to yours. You’ve been linked with a few people, most notably Ciara and Angela Simmons, so what’s going on in the personal life now?

Bow Wow: As of right now I am totally dedicated to my career. For me it is all about music, studio, and acting. I can’t tell you the last time I went to the club or anything. It’s only about shows, the studio, or reading a script. I feel like I have a lot to prove signing with Cash Money and I don’t have time to be running around with chicks and being on blog sites. I have no room for errors. I have no room for f**k ups. I signing with one of the greatest teams and I feel I need to work hard to be apart of it. I’m only 22 so I have a long career ahead of me and I’m married to music.

AllHipHop.com: Can you elaborate more on the situation that happened with “I’m A Flirt”? Was it your record or R. Kelly’s record? It appeared to be R Kelly’s record.

Bow Wow: Exactly. That’s what I’m saying. I delivered the record. I told them this would be my second single. I told them this would be a number one record. They laughed and told me that it wasn’t going to work. Really…even before I was signed Columbia Records had some issues with R. Kelly. It was some business issues where I guess R. Kelly didn’t get paid for a track or at least that’s what I heard. The only reason Kellz went out of his way and did that record was for me. I dropped my verse. The label didn’t like it because they wanted something more pop. Kellz called me up and said he loved the record and wanted it for his Double Up album.

He said he would keep me on it and give me the points. I said cool, as long as I got to keep my writing credit. That’s what we did because I didn’t want to record to go to waste either. So I gave it to Kellz, Kellz did it, and the next thing you know it’s a number one record. Just like I told Columbia. That was just me knowing me, knowing my music, and knowing where I needed to be and they could not see eye to eye. That was four years ago that they dropped the ball on that record. They dropped the ball on the Face Off project [collaboration with Omarion]. Even though we did do 500,000 on that project I still feel like a ball was dropped on the radio side. It has been like this every album. Every album is nonstop going through s**t and I just got tired of it.

AllHipHop.com: You had the Face Off album you had with Omarion. As you move over to Cash Money he is leaving Young Money. Any insight as to why that is occurring?

Bow Wow: As of right now I’m signed to Cash Money. As far as O’s situation, I have no idea. I wish him the best of luck. That’s my dude. I heard some of the music and I just wish him the best. I try not to get too involved in other artist’s situations.

AllHipHop.com: Now, when you started out your name was Kid Gangsta. Then you became Lil Bow Wow. Now you go by Bow Wow and you’re talking about using your real name in an album title. Are you trying to totally shed the Bow Wow image?

Bow Wow: I thought about it. I’ll say it. I was thinking about naming the album “Who is Shad Moss?” I want people to get familiar with who I am. I mean, people know my real name because when I do movies I go by it. That’s because I like to keep the movies and the music separate. We’ll see about the album title. I might just call it my name.

AllHipHop.com: Cash Money and Young Money both have an extensive rooster which includes artists like Lil Wayne, Drake, and Nicki Minaj. With so many people coming out of that system when can we expect to hear an album from you?

Bow Wow: Oh, I don’t want to put my album out until next year. I told Baby that I felt like the New Jack City II album was rushed and he agreed. He told me the same thing I said earlier. I didn’t need to put out an album. I didn’t need any money. They needed to put out an album. They needed money. He knew it. So if it takes me a year…if it takes me two years..I’m not putting out an album until its right. I know what I’m capable of doing. This situation is going to prove that Columbia was wrong and just didn’t know what they were doing. Cash Money likes to win and they are not going to put out anything that is not a winner.

AllHipHop.com: Do you feel Cash Money will help you evolve from child star to more of an adult rapper?

Bow Wow: I think that is all up to me. It’s a look but it all starts with me and what I need to do as an artist. There are different things that I need to do, such as picking the right movies, in order to help me get to that point. I definitely believe I will get there but I am not going to depend on the label for a look. I’m just looking to make good music where people can hear the maturity and growth. That’s why I’m doing the youtube’s and dropping the mixtapes so people can see more of me and get use to the growth. I think it all starts off with the person getting the respect so that’s what I’m going for in whatever I do.

The situation has me just as excited as my fans and I’m just as anxious as the people who say it might not work. The one thing I can say about Baby is that he is a very intelligent dude when it comes to music. They do not like to lose so please believe that if it ain’t right then it ain’t coming out. And hopefully I’ll be able to bring more to the label.

Hip-Hop Rumors: 50 Cent Changes Name? T-Pain Comes Back! Illy’s Assistants!

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: Rumors

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 SENSE

What is the big deal about Obama talking to the kids about striving to be the best. Do they think he is going to be flashing subliminal messages like “Kill your grand parents” or something? If these kids can hear all this crap on TV and the radio, why not a positive lunchtime message? Now, I am not confused. I know there has been some controversy in the past over there, but never to this degree. I heard they are denying the speech in places with a Black student population as great as 80%.

By the way, I stand firm on the ground that LL Cool J released the first ALBUM by Def Jam Recordings. There was a rock group named Hose that may have precluded my boy T La Rock, but that was an obscure 7” record. Thanks and good day.

JAY-Z WORKING WITH JACK WHITE?

One of my readers hit me up with this interesting tidbit of rumor, but it seems like a fact.

The other day in the morning, Stephen was taking his son to school and also listening to sports talk radio. That wasn’t interesting so they turned the channel and got to a Top 40 station that was talking about Jay-Z. Lo and behold, they were talking to Jay-Z. The rapper was talking about what he’s done with people like Kanye. They seemed to ask him about other artists he’ll be bringing out and Jay shocked my homey. He said he was working with Jack White of the White Stripes. LOL. Jigga didn’t mention anything about J. Cole! Perhaps it was because he was on a mainstream station, he wasn’t thinking about it. Stephan thought it was a lost opportunity for Jay, especially since Jack is a pretty common dude in the mainstream. Jack White, eh? OK.

T-PAIN TALKS ABOUT JAY-Z…

T-Pain alleged Jay-Z dissed him in the “D.O.A.” era and said “Good riddance.” Wow…That’s pretty interesting.

SOME 50 CENT!

I just got word from a very credible source at Interscope who works apart form the A & R team, regarding Before I Self Destruct. The whole Dr. Dre situation regarding 50 Cent is that Fif is getting impatient at how quickly Eminem records were mixed and mastered and how Dre is taking his time with 50 cent’s songs – I HEARD. But THERE IS NO BEEF…its just Dre being a perfectionist as usual.

50 CENT AND JADAKISS? 50 CENT AND NAS – COOL?

Also, sources say 50 cent has finished recording a track with Jadakiss and Nas called “Eternal Ruler.” Interesting title. Dr Dre also reportedly convinced Nas to squash beef with 50 Cent. Apparently, they are both included on Detox in some form or fashion. , whilst both were recording material for Detox.

ILLSEED’S QUICKIES

My girl Baylee sent me this one: “Janet confirms in Harper Bazaar she is no longer with JD, not interested in marriage and how she doesn’t indulge in the media since her brothers death.”

Baylee is another possible assistant, but I didn’t use most of her rumors.

Oh Baylee also told me that Wayne’s tour surpassed 40 million in gross which is more than the Jay Z & MJB tour. Wayne is seriously killing the industry right now.

Rick Ross’ new album is going to be called Teflon Don with a movie to go with it.

Mary J. Blige may not be a go for the MJ dedication show.

“I have a big announcement to make. No one knows this … I am going to be the new judge on ‘American Idol.'” – Ellen Degeneres. (DOPE!)

Rick Ross is rumored to be engaged to his girlfriend.

Jay-Z should move about 300-350k. Not bad for the way that album was leaked. Wonder what Rae is expected to do.

Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, wasn’t talked about as much as his grandmother, but not for long. There is a movie about his mom on the way.

THE TWITTER FOLLIES!

“50 Cent is a person I created, soon it will be time to destroy him and become somebody else.”

What the heck is 50 Cent talking about on Twitter? Kelvin “50 Cent” Martin is where the name came from, the now infamous BK stick-up kid. Anyway, I think 50 Cent is just going to act.

RANDOM QUOTES

Billy Danz said something to the effect that G-Unit didn’t have any money over there for M.O.P. To that, Tony Yayo has responded.

“I seen something on a website where M.O.P. said G-Unit was going broke. I don’t know what he was talking about, I still got two houses, I still got cars, as well as 50. I just feel like, when a n*gga give you an opportunity, you either gonna make it work or it’s not gonna work. Either one. M.O.P, that was their first time being on MTV and BET. That was their first time really being on a major tour, Anger Management Tour which 50 spent like $8 mil on — What about the money he spent on you, Laze, everybody that was in your entourage hotels, n*ggas stayed in the Ritz, burninig cigarettes on the dresser, burning pillows, starting fires, smoking sh*t out doing crazy sh*t when the bill comes back. He didn’t complain about that — when everything is happening, everybody’s happy. But when sh*t is not happening for a n*gga, a n*gga’s disgruntled.”

What the hell..Trey Songz is buggin’ out! I’m not hardly an R. Kelly fan, but Trey has lost his marbles.

“At this point I feel like R Kelly knows if he was to step in that arena with me he couldn’t PLAY with me as far as lyrically, word play or metaphorically in that arena after the way I came on death of Kellz. Kellz is older. He’s an old man.”

HEY! SON OF BASERK HIT ME UP!

I don’t know why I act like these artists don’t read illseed! ½ Pint from Son of Bazerk (the hype lady) hit me up and let me know some things about the group. This is for the real heads on their 90’s rap and those interested.

I want to thank the shouts on Allhiphop.com Son of Bazerk featuring No Self Control and the BAND! are back and working in the studio. keep ya ears open for some hot SH*T! to hold the real hip hop heads over til then we have some stuff from our unreleased 2nd album on youtube.com

Thank 4 the Love,

1/2pint from Son of Bazerk featuring No Self Control and the BAND!

ASSISTANT CONTEST

I want you guys to pick who the hell you like so that your insatiable need for rumors. I DID NOT edit the candidates just so you know. I basically cut and pasted as is.

Contestant No 1. is Virginia Girl TRH. I don’t know much about her, but she sent some decent rumors. I cut some out, but included the most current stuff.

Rumor 2: Jamie Foxx supporting Gold diggers he says if you look good you should have a man with money and not no broke down ass n####. Thanks Jamie for supporting a sister and letting us know get at anybody with money for the $$$DOLLARS$$$. But what’s wrong with this pic? Is that the chick Milan from BET’s College Hill South beach? Milan must have got some of his dollars this particular day. Damn reality TV sure is a breakthrough for some folks. SMH they should let everybody do reality TV this day in age I should have my own show. (Courtesy AP)

Rumor 3: Your boy Pastor Mase is looking for a gig and been trying to get at PUFF to be PUT ON but Diddy like he ain’t adding no one to the camp anytime soon. Damn Mase you need to be saying a prayer right now and keeping the faith that things are gonna work out. What happen to G-Unit? They booted you out their camp to? SMH (Courtesy AP)

R. Kelly. had his lil run in with the LAW and some people believe that was him vice versa in the video but the one thing we can’t take away from this man is that his talent is so RAW and Amazing and for that reason I still get down with Kellz. He is an amazing singer and songwriter. His albums are CLASSICS and no one, not anyone can take that away from him. I am highly anticipating his album and can’t wait to hear it.

Rumor 3: Chris Brown and Rhianna I am so tired of these episodes. The one thing that makes me so mad about this situation is that it takes two to fight. Why is everyone avoiding the fact that when a women hits a man first she is wrong too. I have to say that Chris deserves a little respect because instead of him bashing Rhi Rhi he is taking full fledge blame for what happen but come one I’m a woman I’ve been in these situations where i hit a man and did him like a dog and when he back fired i couldn’t go crying to nobody because guess what I was wrong. This just goes to show that no matter how much $ you have and living a superstart life you can still suffer from THIN LOVE Syndrome called Jealousy. How is it that Rhi Rhi jealous of that old woman. SMH she need to get counseling to on something called self-esteem and confidence.

So what do you think of Virginia Girl TRH?

Contestant No. 2: marcuS Flair!

Theres a rumor of Joe Jackson starting a group with Micheal Jacksons 3 kids called the jackson 3!!! lawd have mercy, Micheal Jack must be flippen in his new grave about this, the last thing he wanted was joe around his kids and now rumors already have joe yanking off his pants holder upper demanding poor Paris and the Princes to dance a jig.

Finally a new rumor just knocked me upside my head like Pacman Jones away from his handlers was that The Dream just married Christina Milian`WITHOUT A PRE NUP. WHAT!!! Dream been on the charts like R. Kells in the`late 90s while Milan been`switchen boyfriends like we do our Als. Mabey The Dream hasnt heard about Nas paying Kellis 55k a month!!! We’ll if this true The Dream is certainly in dreamland & his boyz should of told him a.a.a.a.

So what do you think of marcuS Flair? (I don’t know why he does his name like that.)

Contestant No. 3: Jill Jamison

1. Jermaine Jackson is so desperate to get Chris Brown to perform at the Michael Jackson tribute, that he is willing to pay him $50,000.

2. Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland are begging Beyonce to have a Destiny Child’s reunion, because both of them are broke and looking for work. Beyonce wants to consider it, but Matthew and Jay-Z are advising her against it.

3. Kim Zolciak’s sugar daddy, Big Poppa lives in a house on West Paces Ferry in Atlanta. It is a mile away from a local Whole Foods on the same street, and diagonally across from the Governor’s mansion.

4. Jay-Z’s music videos and Rocawear clothing line often showcase, and promote demonic symbols, and have secret society undertones to them.

5. Steve Harvey or someone related to him are shooting a new reality show to shop around to different TV networks.

So what do you think of Jill Jamison?

Contestant No. 4: Chance

WHO WANTS TO MAKE OUT WITH JENNIFER LOPEZ???

So

it looks like J. Lo is planning a comeback.  She was just in NY

shooting her new movie The Backup Plan and looking good if I may say so

myself (see below).  And now shes gearing up to shoot a video with

Pitbull this Saturday.  The casting notice calls for a good looking

25-35 year old who doesn’t mind doing a “heavy kissing scene with lead

female”.  Five-hundred bucks to make-out with Jennifer Lopez???  There

are worse gigs.

MR. & MRS. CARTER: REGULAR PEOPLE WITH COOL TOYS

I thought it was hillarious that Jay sounded disgusted when Ciph

and Rosenberg asked him if he ever went back to Marcy … “….ummmm I dnt

live there anymore”.  Apparently Willamsburg is his new stomping

grounds.  This guy claims to have run into Jigga man and the Mrs at a

bar in BrookLAND:”…I went and stood by him and said, ‘Man, it’s great to see you;

may I buy you a drink?’ … [he] just said, ‘Sure, I’ll have a Patron

tequila’ … Beyoncé came out of the ladies’ room and had [one] on me as

well. I thought it was just great … they just acted perfectly normal

and gave me the great pleasure of buying for them.”The first couple of Hip-Hop were also recently seen in the Hamptons

pushing this $500,000 2010 Devon GTX.  The rest of us will have to wait

until the first quarter of 2010 to get one.GHETTO CINDERELLA STORY (KINDA)I

bought into the Mega-Millions lotto hype.  I thought I was getting

signs from god that I was gonna win so me and my man (pause… don’t get

at me Joe) Vinny Bucks copped a ticket.  Needless to say since I’m not

on an island somewhere I didn’t hit (pause).  One of the people who

STOLE my money is James “Jimmy” Groves, a Harlemite who works the

graveyard shift stacking chairs at the garden (dude looks like he

probably had DVD’s, white tees and knew where to get a little something

something for you too).   He claims:“…I didn’t have a dime in my pocket … I asked for a lottery ticket … and the next day, I won $166 million”When

Pioneering DJ Disco Wiz Drops New Memoir

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: News

Legendary Hip-Hop pioneer Luis “DJ Disco Wiz” Cedeño will kick off the Bronx Museum of Art’s Bronx Talks series with a book signing for his new memoir, It’s Just Begun: The Epic Journey of DJ Disco Wiz, Hip-Hop’s First Latino DJ.

 

The release of the 180-page book marks the latest achievement for Cedeño, who is noted for his alliance with fellow Hip-Hop legend Grandmaster Caz to form the Mighty Force Crew.

 

The union proved fruitful in 1977 as Cedeño and Caz created a “mixed plate” which combined sound bites, special effects and paused beats.

 

It’s Just Begun offers 50 never-before-seen photos coupled with a look inside Cedeño’s world as it chronicles his turbulent relationship with his father and efforts to protect his mother who was suffering from breast cancer while growing up in the Bronx in the 1960s and ‘70s.

 

While the half-Cuban, half-Puerto-Rican turntablist’s rise during the early years of Hip-Hop is prominently featured, the book also delves into Cedeño’s time behind bars at the age of 17 on an attempted murder charge in addition to his journey towards overcoming his setbacks through love, self-respect, and self-determination.

 

Cedeño’s book signing is the first event lined up for the Bronx Talks series. The monthly event will feature Bronx–based writers and/or books about the Bronx.

 

The book signing for Cedeño’s It’s Just Begun: The Epic Journey of DJ Disco Wiz, Hip-Hop’s First Latino DJ will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. September 25 at the museum.

 

Admission is free.
