WTF News: Mother Jailed For Purposely Burning Son’s Penis and Nipples

A Massachusetts woman was jailed for up to 30 years after burning her 19-year-old son’s penis and nipples with a lighter. The perpetrator, Christine Gelineau, plead guilty to first-degree assault and witness tampering after she forced her son to lie about the abuse but the truth eventually came out.

Via the Mirror:

At a hearing in New Hampshire the youngster described in detail the brutal abuse she subjected him to.

“Dear ex-Mother,” he began as he read from a prepared statement. “What you did to me is unforgivable.

“You beat me, starved me, almost chopped my penis off, threw my clothes away, wouldn’t let me bathe.

“You almost killed me by having me take three (antidepressants) and two muscle-relaxers.

He continued: “Now that I know you’re a complete criminal and only wanted me dead so you could go back to your old life.

“You won’t be able to attend my graduation or see me go on to college, so I wish you goodbye. I hope you realize you have lost everything you had.”

In the affidavit for the case Gelineau admitted to burning the tip of her son’s penis, but claims she only did so after he threatened to have sex with her.

She then put on gloves and grabbed and twisted his penis before holding a lighter to it for several seconds.

The boy suffered second and third degree burns and permanent nerve damage. His mom is a disturbed animal and deserves every bit of that 30 years plus more.

Diddy Addresses Kendrick’s “King Of New York” Line

(AllHipHop News) All Sean “Diddy” Combs had was a few quips after Kendrick’s “Control” verse dropped.

But, the mogul had changed his tune a bit in a recent conversation with Big Boy of Power 106 in Los Angeles.
“When I was coming up, I always stated I was a king because I knew who I was. That’s like knowledge of self. So with [Kendrick] being a king, he’s a king, Jay’s a king, Ye’s a king but there are some cats that are not kings. You got to be a prince sometimes before you can be a king,” Diddy told Big Boy.

Then Diddy explained why the Compton upstart was a modern Hip-Hop king.

“Kendrick is deserving of his crown because he took hip-hop and put it on his back so crazy and has given birth to a whole type of real hip-hop generation that we needed to come back and it came from a cat that was, ironically, from the West Coast,” Diddy continued. “He went back to the essence of what hip-hop is about.”

Hip-Hop Rumors: Gangsa Disciples Confront Waka Flocka in Chicago

By: Friday Foster Updated Category: Rumors

Waka Flocka ain’t never scared, so it’s no surprise that he stood off with some Chicago goons claiming to be Gansta Disciples. The video starts with Waka seemingly greeting fans and then goes left when some random dudes start reppin’…from across the street.

Waka Flocka initially takes the bait but then keeps it moving when he sees that the dudes are probably just haters trying to knock him off his game. Watch:

Situations like this can get really crazy, really fast so Waka and his entourage did the right thing by walking away. Someone in Waka’s camp could have gone to jail or even been killed and for what, pathetic excuses of men who feel so lost and insecure that they have nothing better to do than try to drag other people into their madness? FOH!

Roscoe Dash Beyond “Turnt Up”

By: TeamDeSymber Updated Category: Features

It is the most commonly used saying in hip-hop today, “Turn Up!”  Roscoe Dash gave new meaning to the words  thanks in part to the huge success of his single “All The Way Turnt Up.” When “All the Way Turnt Up” was first released as “Turnt Up” under the Travis Porter mixtape, “I’m Differenter 2,” none of the ATL-based teens (at the time) had any idea how far the song would go. It turned out to be the summer banger of 2009 and would forever change the hip-hop lexicon.  But, it was also a gift and a curse.

The popularity of the single, for which he got little credit, not to mention his feature on “No Hands,”got Roscoe Dash signed to Interscope. But his album, Ready Set Go was leaked and after several pushbacks has no release date. However, the 23-year-old is still making great music, planning to release a DVD called “The Untold Story of Roscoe Dash,” featuring behind the scenes of his original single, and the moves that he has been making behind the scenes spending hiatus time with classic artists like Bun B and Juvenile. “I believe in making timeless music,” Dash says, “That’s why I felt like it was cool to take a step back from where I was and going back to do something even bigger.

Dash is anxious to prove his talent as a rapper (not a singer) and now a producer. In this exclusive interview, Roscoe Dash dishes on what he has been up to since the enormous success of his smash single “All The Way Turnt Up”, his unique style of music, his plans to expand and reach out to all corners of the world with his music, and his new collaboration with Juvenile.
