Epic Fail Of The Day: Dad Sons Son BADLY For Wearing Much Too Skinny Jeans
Looks like the generational gap is not going to be closing anytime soon. In this video, a father goes IN on his son on youtube for wearing skinny jeans. Now, the thing is, the kid’s jeans are incredibly tight to the point where he cannot even pull them up. The are basically skintight jeans that would give a girl an instant yeast infection. The day yells, “And you know your nuts hurt!!!!” So, who is the epic fail? The son for wearing the jeans or the dad for ruining his son’s life for the next decade at least. This will be on youtube forever now. It may even be in a time capsule to explain where we were as a people in this time period.
There is just something wrong about a dude in something like this:
After 20 Years In The Game, R. Kelly Still Shines On “Feelin’ Single”
R. Kelly is maybe the only singer of his generation and genre, from the ’90s, who still makes music – and still gets heard.
Check out the Pied Piper in his latest video for “Feelin’ Single”. Sounds like something from the Chocolate Factory album – but it’s actually a new cut from his latest album, Write Me Back.
Though it’s also reminiscent of 2010’s Love Letter, Kelly takes another risk with this one. Who can touch this musical genius who’s constantly reinventing himself and his music?
Hip-Hop Rumors: Which Former Diddy-Helmed Band Is Calling It Quits?
Another one bites the dust. After months of speculation, Day 26, the band that Diddy famously put together on his 2007 MTV reality show “Making The Band,” has decided to call it quits and break up.
Day 26 made two underwhelming albums on Bad Boy, and even made the move over to Interscope with Diddy a few years back, but ultimately left Diddy after not having much success. The group last made headlines when group member Q left the group to pursue a solo career.
Earlier this week the remaining four members–Willie, Brian, Robert, and Mike–released a statement saying, “It is with great sadness and deep pain that we regret to inform you that effective immediately, Atlantic Records Platinum recording group, DAY26 have decided to take a break from the group and focus on their own individual projects.”
So much for that. Would you like to see Diddy come back on MTV for another edition of “Making The Band”?
Mac Dre Protege PSD tha Drivah Charged With Sexual Assault
(AllHipHop News)
Former Mac Dre protegé PSD tha Drivah has pleaded not guilty to assaulting a Bay Area woman.
The rapper, born Steven Davison, appeared in court yesterday.
The District Attorney’s office accused PSD of committing a lewd act, sexual penetration against the victim’s will, battery and assault.
The incident unfolded in an apartment on July 2, when the victim went to visit PSD.
According to prosecutors, the rapper sexually assaulted the woman and physically assaulted her when she attempted to flee, partially clothed.
PSD, who is being held on $500,000 bail, has pleaded not guilty to all the charges.
PSD was recently released from prison, after serving 48 months for a July 2008 drug arrest at Sacramento international Airport.
In that incident, Davison was found to be in possession of over 6,000 ecstasy pills.
FEEL RICH TIP OF THE WEEK: Dance, Dance, Dance…
Editor’s Note: “Feel Rich” is our partnership with QD3, the talented son of music legend Quincy Jones. “Feel Rich” is all about creating a healthy lifestyle for Hip-Hop culture – both the artists and the fans. Enjoy!
She’s cute. She’s digging your style. The music’s playing. She asks “Wanna dance?”
However, if you’ve got more than one left foot, this can be a problem. Most guys will say, “I don’t dance.” Of course. You came to the club because you don’t dance. Thus, you let the moment slip away. No need for that.
Truth is, you don’t have to be Michael Jackson to rock her world.
However, you should be in shape. And dancing itself is, maybe, the most fun way to do it. Dancing involves so much movement, it will have your heart drumming, your blood flowing, and your body rocking. It will also get you girls’ phone numbers. But wait, wait, wait. How can you get in shape while dancing without embarrassing yourself? No problem.
There are at least seven, super easy moves you can learn that will actually make you look like a great dancer. You’ll not only look better and get a good workout, but also tear up the dance floor and impress the ladies. Hey, wallflowers have to bloom sometime. Let’s do this!
Happy Feet
The Happy Feet is the cool footwork move often used by Jason Derulo when he’s getting down. The magic of this move is that at first it may feel weird. However, when you get the hang of it, it will shock you how easy it is. (No offense, Jason Derulo.) After a while, your legs will start to feel a burn, but don’t be selfish. Think of how the dance floor feels! If that’s too cheesy for you, think of how strong your legs will get. It will improve your strength and coordination on all walks of life, even during sports.
Melbourne Shuffle
“Everyday I’m shuffling.” By now, everyone should have seen LMFAO’s video for “Party Rocker Anthem,” where the whole world breaks down shuffling. Looks cool, doesn’t it? It’s easy. Still, if you do this enough, your heart will be pumping, and you’ll develop good stamina. It’s like jogging in place. Only, a little more contagious.
Six-Step
This is a very cool breakdance move that, although it looks fancy, is actually simple if you can keep up with it. You won’t have to go 80 mph to look good either. Learn the basic steps, and anyone can nail it. It’ll not only improve balance, but also make you work up a sweat, and get your entire body involved. Just start down-rocking and suddenly…”Oh, my God! That guy can dance!”
MC Hammer Dance
If you can learn any MC Hammer move, you’ll be sweating your veins out. From the running man to his fancy footwork, the man had some beastly energy! But for beginners, his easiest move (that still requires a test of balance) is his spin move. Sprinkle a few of these in the middle of your groove, and you’ll look hella good.
The Worm
Don’t try this on the Rocky Mountains. Anywhere else, go for it! Drop down on the floor and start worming. It’s pretty easy to learn, and it will seriously get your body going. On top of that, the crowd will love it. Your girl will be pretty intrigued. Heck, most guys will only do the “worm” after a shot of Tequila. Stay thirsty, my friends.
Roger Rabbit
Honestly, it’s hard to look sexy while doing the Roger Rabbit. However, if you keep a sense of humor, it would be impossible for everyone NOT to have a good time. Girls would definitely think you’re a cool guy, and the great part is – it’s pretty easy. Nonetheless, you’ll get some good cardio out of it.
Walk It Out
Ultra simple (anyone can do it), very energetic, and still rather cool. Popularized by DJ Unk, this dance is a killer at any party, and it’s not hard at all. However, the Walk It Out will still make you work it out, if you do it long enough. Believe it.
Conclusion: Last but not least… Snap your fingers and groove! Just sway to the music, and snap to the beat! Keep your heart moving. Have a good time. That’s all it takes to satisfy a girl, and it’s a great start to getting in shape. Dance to have fun, and don’t be shy. Just move! And if you have no rhythm…move a little less at the beginning. And if you have so little rhythm that even your heartbeat gets confused, just practice before going out. Trust me, you ‘ll get it. Just keep dancing. You’ll soon start losing weight and developing muscle. And when the time comes to get on the dance floor, you’ll have a great time, and the ladies won’t be able to keep their eyes off you. Good luck!

Hip-Hop Rumors: [Video] Young Buck Speaks On Jail Time….
Man, I am eternally sad for the way Young Buck has developed as an artist. I mean 50 Cent is merciless! And Buck’s own woes have finally caught up with him. Well, with a year and some change in jail time coming up, Buck is speaking out on his own drama. He recently released this video on the whole mess. I can’t believe this dude was once one of the dopest rappers in G-Unit.
Yeah, and I know this ain’t no rumor. It just is.
Hip-Hop Rumors: Remy Ma Stabbed In Jail Rumors!
There are rumors that Remy Ma is dead or stabbed up in jail. The details are sketchy, but one thing is for sure. Remy Ma is alive, my sources have told me. So that’s that. But, the stabbing is a bit more sketchy. That seems to be false as well. Apparently, somebody updated her Wiki page and decided to include that Rem was stabbed up. All reasonable people that have hit me up have said this is not true. Actually, Papoose – her hubby – ended the rumor once and for all. “Just left my wife on the visit 2day @ 330 she was and still is fine yall haters need 2 get a life @freeremyma,” Papoose tweeted. He also dissed GOOGLE! “Google need 2 step they s**t up and stop pushing fake stories @freeremyma.”
Hip-Hop Rumors: What Rapper Is Lady Gaga Going Gaga Over!?! WOW!
WHOA! This is something special! Kendrick Lamar and Lady Gaga? Well, they aren’t dating or anything, but it seems like the weird lady in black paid KL a lil’ visit over the weekend at the Pitchfork Festival. BUT, there is some buzz that there may be more percolating and that Lady Gaga has been tweeting sweet nothings to Kendrick on the low. I was checking out Necole Bitchie and she charged just that. “What a sweetie calling me this morning to see how I’m doin. See you soon. love from across the pond.”
But, for now, Kendrick is just playing it safe. He told The Source: “That’s a real good friend… a real good friend’. As for a possible future collaboration between the two he says, “God willing …. for now I just like the friendship thing.” RIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!

EXCLUSIVE: DJ Jazzy Jeff Set To Rock Atlantic City’s DUSK Tomorrow Night; Talks Future With Will Smith
(AllHipHop News) Tomorrow night (July 17), Hip-Hop icon DJ Jazzy Jeff will make his first appearance at Caesar’s nightclub Dusk in Atlantic City, NJ. The Grammy Award-winning DJ and producer has toured the world for the better part of a decade, playing sold-out shows to packed houses of people who come out to have a good time and see the legend spin.
Dusk, a club that DJ AM invested in before his death in 2009, has become one of the premier hot-spots in Atlantic City’s nightlife scene. “Tomorrow should be really cool, because I know the resident guy [Sat-One] has done very well in putting together a playlist that they’re used to, and I like to play a little bit of everything,” Jazzy Jeff told AllHipHop.com.
Regarding the type of set that people can expect to hear tomorrow night, Jazzy Jeff said, “I think what’s great is somebody like Sat, who’s a resident, has kind of already got the crowd into wanting to hear a little bit of everything. Once you know that this is a place that is already heading in that direction, then it’s pretty easy. It’s more about when do you take them here or take them back in the day; when do you take them on some Dance stuff, or some classic Hip-Hop stuff.”
In addition to his set tomorrow night at Dusk, Jazzy Jeff will play sets later this week at the Palms Casino and Resort in Las Vegas, and then at Margaritaville in the Cayman Islands this weekend. The Philadelphia DJ/producer is also hard at work on a new mixtape for LRG that is set to be released this fall, and is currently in the studio with his 13-year-old son, Amiracle – a rapper he claims is “very dope.”
Fans will also be happy to know that Jazzy Jeff is kicking around the idea of recording a new studio album, as well as working with longtime friend and duo mate Will Smith on a new project one day.
“The whole Will [Smith] thing is always in the back of my mind,” he told AllHipHop.com. “It’s just about the time, and we’re just trying to find the time where we can both take two or three weeks off and just lock ourselves in a room and get creative.”

BREEDING GROUND: Ca$h Flow
While some artists get into the game as a means of escaping the trap or the street, for 22 year old University of Delaware Junior Dexter “Ca$hFlow” Walker; the trials and tribulations of a struggling college student, coupled with the stress of financially assisting his family is the driving force behind his music. After creating “Blowing College Funds,” his own version of “BMF” tailored specifically to a collegiate audience; the buzz that ensued quickly made him a rising star on the college circuit. In 2010 he won BET’s annual Black College Tour Freestyle Friday competition when it landed on his campus. He has since been featured as an opener at Delaware State’s 2011 Homecoming, opening for a list of notable mainstream artists.
As I sat down with him, we spoke of how he accomplished so much in so little of time, as well as the release of his first mixtape, all without the benefit of a manager, promotion, or marketing team.
AllHipHop.com: What’s good Ca$h? First off I have to ask, at 22 you already have an impressive list of artists that you’ve opened for. How exactly did you get your start?
Ca$hFlow: I was born in Brooklyn, New York, but I attended high school and now college in Delaware. It wasn’t until college that I considered music seriously. My version of “BMF” titled “Blowing College Funds” actually started off as a joke. I wrote it in 2010 in relation to what I was going through, like “I think its FASFA, Sallie Mae. Scamming students, by the day,” and it just spread like a wildfire.
AllHipHop.com: You could have easily allowed it to die down and pass as a fad. How did you capitalize on the track and decide to pursue an actual career?
Ca$hFlow: I’ve been a music addict since I was a kid. It’s what made me who I am in every aspect of life. I started writing young, and then later I found out that I was actually good at it. I gained attention off “BCF” and followed up with a remix of Nicki Minaj’s “Roman Revenge” with my own version titled “Rappers Revenge.” This actually gave me credibility and solidified me as one of the best HBCU rappers out.
AllHipHop.com: Is this what prompted you to enter the freestyle competition when the BET Black College Tour stopped on your campus?
Ca$hFlow: Other people believed that I was good enough to do it, so I had to believe in myself and see if I was….and I won the competition; this opened up doors to additional competitions and personal invites to appear on showcases. Eventually I was chosen to for our Homecoming; opening for Big Sean, Meek Mill, Travis Porter, Marsha Ambrosius, Jeremih, TCB, and Ace Hood. I was blessed with incredible opportunities, and I’ve been grinding hard ever since.
AllHipHop.com: How have things changed for you on campus?
Ca$hFlow: It’s been crazy! I’ve had chicks ask me to sign things, even had one with my song as her ringtone. That blew my mind; I don’t know how she got it, but she had MY song as her ringtone. S###’s crazy.
AllHipHop.com: As a Junior you still have a small amount of schooling left. Have you decided to actively pursue your musical ambitions full-time, or are you looking to still obtain your degree as a back-up plan of sorts?
Ca$shFlow: I can do both. I don’t look at getting my degree as necessarily having a “back-up plan.” Music is my life, but my degree can be used to explore the business aspect of the industry and opens up additional opportunities for me in the future.
AllHipHop.com: Being that you are currently still a student; how have you managed to juggle the role of student/artist, and how does your family feel about the path that you have chosen to take?
Ca$hFlow: I’m Trinidadian and Venezuelan, the first generation here in America, and I’m not your average college student. The majority of my family is still overseas and the part that is here, lives in a 2 bedroom apartment split amongst the 6 of us. I’m not your average college student; I pay for school myself. I rap, I work, and I help take care of my family.
To be real my parents didn’t even want me to go to college right now because they need help caring for the family; so I’m trying to do it all. I’m grinding the hardest that I can to get signed to a major deal. All I need is a chance to be heard.
AllHipHop.com: And that’s real. What’s your next step, your next move?
Ca$hFlow: I recently debuted my first mixtape titled “The Withdrawal of Ca$hFlow” on datpiff.com and earned almost 8k views and 900 streams strictly based off word of mouth alone. I was featured on the “Today’s Top 8” ranking directly next to Kendrick Lamar. I’m hustling. I don’t have a manager, I don’t have a promotions team, I don’t have the funds for a marketing team; I do this on my own. Needless to say, I need this money by any means necessary; and I’m willing to do anything for my family. I’m not looking for a handout, just an opportunity. This is more than a mixtape, it’s my future.
You can find him both on datpiff.com as well as on twitter @Cash2theFlow
Beyoncé and Alicia Keys Join Forces to Help Obama Re-Election Campaign
(AllHipHop News) Both Beyoncé and Alicia Keys have stepped forward to pledge their commitment to President Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.

Also, she recently performed alongside Mariah Carey at a re-election fundraiser in New York City.
Beyoncé is doing her part as well writing a a letter to the First Lady, calling Michelle Obama, “the ultimate example of a truly strong African-American woman.”
