THE CRIME MOB REUNION?

 I am not sure if you care about this, but rumor has it Princess and Diamond are in the process of reconciling their friendship. Equally important, I am hearing they are about to reform their “group.” I’m not sure if they were ever a group, per se, but they are looking to be a duo. Hope it works out.

 ILLSEED’S QUICKIES

 Even though T.I. is out of jail, the rapper still has a curfew that has him in the house by 11pm. If he is performing…1am. He also has 400 hours of community service. I thought he did that before he went in!

And just as I THOUGHT – Beyonce ain’t no freakin pregnant! I gotta start making stuff up! SMH!!!!!!Lady Gaga is the first “billion view” artist on youtube! Gotdag! That’s a lotta…a lot of stuff…people are taking in their brains!People are trying to say Reggi Bush cheated on Kim K, but new reports say he didn’t.

SIGNS THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END!

 So, I googled this one and got a direct hit. When a woman is accused of the rape and solomy of her own kid, I have to look it up. I peeped this one and if you look at her myspace, there’s all sorts of bizarre stuff, even Satan signs. You will not believe this one that I got off the Associated Press via The Riverfront Times:

 

 SAN FRANCISCO — Two people are behind bars for allegedly raping and sodomizing a 13-month-old girl and taking pictures of the acts.

 Tessa Van Vlerah, 20, from Missouri and Kenneth Kyle, 46 a university professor from San Francisco, are both facing multiple felonies.

 Among them, statutory rape in the first degree, first degree statutory sodomy and promoting child pornography in the first degree.

 Van Vlerah was arrested at her Missouri home on Tuesday.

 Kyle was arrested Monday at San Francisco International Airport, after returning from a trip to Europe

 Federal agent began investigating Kyle in December when they discovered he was allegedly exchanging child p### on line with others.

 Agents contacted San Francisco authorities and a search warrant was served at Kyle’s home a week ago.

 At Kyle’s home in San Francisco, agents discovered communications on his computer with Van Vlerah.

 Police say Kyle made several trips to St. Louis over the past year to visit Van Vlerah.

 During those visits, the couple would go to motels in the Westport area and engage in sex acts with the baby, police say.

 This allegedly started when the baby was just five months old. She’s now 13 months old.

 Investigators say Van Vlerah and Kyle met online.

 Van Vlerah is jailed on a two million dollar bond.

 Kyle has state and federal cases pending in San Francisco as well as the charges in Missouri.

The baby is in state custody.

 

13 MONTH OLD BABY, WE LOVE YOU!!!

They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry!

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

Editor’s note: The

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

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

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