Mariah Carey confirms her pregnancy, Kanye West and Jay Z to do an album together, Diamond's Camaro gets repossessed on a video shoot and more!

Wutz good folks! Happy Friday and shout out to all my followers and fellow bloggers. Hit me up on twitter @MrElvisFreshley to see what I'll be up to this weekend. It my college's homecoming and I'm headed back for the first time in five years. Should be quite an interesting weekend. Other than that...lets get to the latest news and rumors!

It's Official



Well that's what everybody is calling it..OFFICIAL!  Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon finally announced that she is pregnant. Not that this is a surprise because the paparazzi has been clicking away at Mariah since earlier this year because of speculations. I just can't believe Mariah's 41! Oh yeah, it also came out that she was pregnant three years ago but suffered a miscarriage. For some reason, this couple has me cheering them on in their corner. I like to see celebrity couples that beat the odds and have a long lasting marriage. Congrats Mariah and Nick! I hope that the baby gets Mariah's music career and not Nick's!

Jay Z and Kanye will make an album instead of an EP



Ye said that instead of doing a five track CD, he and Jay will do an entire album together. I believe it will be called, "Watch the Throne." For some reason, I figured this would happen. I mean, who would only wanna hear a five-track album with two of the greatest emcees? That's like leaving you starving when you're still hungry.

Don't Spray the Wall!



Travis McCoy was arrested Wednesday (Oct. 27) in Germany after police caught him spray painting the Berlin Wall, which is a no no! Then he posted a picture of it on his twitter page. I guess some people think that's cool. Who knows!

Pink Friday Track Listing 


For some reason, I expect this chick to push better numbers than Drake did his first week because of her crazy ass so-called Barbie fans. We shall see!

1. I’m The Best
2. Roman’s Revenge (feat. Eminem)
3. Did It On’em
4. Right Thru Me
5. Fly
6. Save Me
7. Moment 4 Life
8. Here I Am
9. Dear Old Nicki
10. Your Love
11. Blow Ya Mind (Deluxe Edition Bonus Track) 

Diamond (former group member of Crime Mob) gets her CAMARO Repossessed

 

Man! I know this had to be embarrassing for her. Especially when somebody said, "Girl, I'll give you a ride." Sources say she was on a video shoot. Just goes to show you that rap money ain't cut up how it use to be. My question is: Where was her man Lil' Scrappy at? He could have gave her some DTP start up money or something?!

F.L.Y. Fashion by Kasheena Price


Taking over F.L.Y. fashion this week is the lovely Miss Kasheena Price. She will be giving you a report on the do's and don'ts of fashion and defining what is F.L.Y. Ladies! PLEASE Pay ATTENTION! She knows what she's talking about!

Falling Into Fashion 2010

Summer was so nice wearing the leggings, tank tops, and not to mention the all time favorite bohemian dresses. Now that the weather is changing it’s time to find what are the must-haves for the fall. I attended UK’s homecoming  and looking around I realized that half of the place was in fall clothing and the other half still was hoping for the fourth of July weather! To all my ladies and fellas that wanna stay up on the latest fashions, listen closely to the Fall Do’s and Don’ts for the upcoming season:

Ladies this season is all about covering up! Whether it’s a suit jacket, an oversized grey H & M sweater, or just some simple black tights to complete that mini skirt you have been dying to wear! Here are the top 3 must haves for the “chilly weather” at an affordable price.

1) “Boyfriend Blazer” ($29.99) Target

 

I absolutely love this  jacket because you can do so many things with it! If you are just doing Saturday shopping in the mall you can throw this on with some jeans and cute flats without carrying around a heavy jacket. We all hate doing that! Or you can even make the jacket scream “She looks hot!” by putting it over that little black dress and completing the outfit with a platform shoe to go out on the town with your girls. 

 

2) “Jeggings” ($17.80) Forever 21

        

I'm almost positive that these will never go out of style. Jeggings have been around now forever even back in the Shakespeare and Renaissance days when men where sporting them. Glad that trend didn’t follow us to this century! They have come out with Jeggings, which is basically another term for leggings. Just like the boyfriend blazer, you can dress up or keep them in a simple outfit, but my favorite thing about jeggings is that you can wear them year round. So ladies if they are on sale, Go for it!!! Fashion caution: Jeggings are not for everyone and they are true to size, so ladies be mindful…Avoid wearing with short tops or even sheer shirts. Jeggings and leggings can be a tragedy so don’t get caught by the fashion police!

3) “Military Boot” ($69.99) Baker Shoes

 
“Left, left…Left, right, left!” Yeah you heard me right. Fashion is like a revolving door and I remember once when the army fatigue fad was going so hard that it was hard to break away. Well the army style is back and  I must say I like what I see. The hottest thing to hit the store is the military boots either flat or with a 3 ½ inch heel. Now everyone can’t pull this look off, but if you think you can then be my guess. Everyone one from Rihanna, Beyonce, Christina Milian, and other celebrities are rockin’ this trend. It gives you that edgy, rock star look, while still being a lady. Wear these boots with some skinny jeans and an oversized shirt and everyone will be checkin’ you! I admit you have to have the confidence to wear these and they are a bit pricey if you are looking for quality boots, but you will definitely be a trendsetter!

F.L.Y. Recipe

Spazonya



This is my own lil' version of a combination of making spaghetti and lasagna. Can you pronounce correctly now? SPA-ZON-YA! I made this earlier this week and my roommate said it was off tha chain. Real quick and easy. The prep time is about 10-15 minutes and let it stay in the oven for about 45 minutes to an hour. Of course you can flip this your own way, but here's what I put into it.

Ingredients:
Spaghetti sauce
Italian Sausages
Mozzarella cheese
Parmesan Cheese
Mushrooms
Ricotta Cheese
Chopped Onions
Chopped Green Peppers
Linguine Noodles
Hamburger Meat (or turkey...if you're not a veggie)


Directions:
Boil noodles with butter, a pinch of salt and pepper in the water


Season hamburger meat to your desire and fry it in a pan...along with the chopped up onions and green peppers...then fry your Italian sausages (I cut mine up into slices)


When the noodles are done boiling, drain them and empty them into a pot or pan of your desire


When the hamburger meat is done, drain the grease and then apply a spaghetti sauce of your choice, and mushrooms


Take your meat sauce and pour it on top of the noodles, then apply ricotta cheese and parmesan cheese...top if off with mozzarella cheese


Bake in the oven at 400 for 45 minutes to an hour.


See you guys next week! Stay F.L.Y. and Stay Fresh!

LADIES: Stop Listening to Depressing Ass Life Stories and Music...How is that gonna Help YOU?

Ladies, if I could make a deal with you about music, would you take it? My deal would be: if you all stop making this depressing ass music, then we'll stop degrading women in our music. LOL...I know rite, that situation would be like getting rid of the "N" word, just not gonna happen. 




Believe me, I love r&b music to the fullest. And I love to hear a woman who can sing. But I'm really gettin' sick of hearin' "I just can't do this," "I'll bust the windows out your car," "Every woman has a breaking point," etc. The list goes on and on. Whatever happened to songs like Angela Winbush's "Smile," and "Angel." Or the S.O.S. Band "Just be good to me" and so forth. If you like me to move up closer to the 90's, I can. What about Shanice's "I Love your Smile," Tracie Spencer's "Tender Kisses," and Sybil's "Don't make me over."


Listening to female r&b artists nowadays is like listening to Keith Sweat back in the day. As a male, you could only listen to so much of it before he starts wining all the damn time.



I think the key problem to this is personal relationships. And of course, this is what the music market and record labels like. If you got a voice, a situation in a relationship that everybody can relate to, then you're in there. I understand and can definitely relate to what some of these women are talking about. However, why can't we turn that state of depression around into happiness. Honestly, it's doing none of these young females any good by hearing some of this Tom Foolery. A love ballad is not singing about how your man just cheated on you with your best friend, how you are going to get revenge, why you can't leave but really wanna go. Anybody ever heard of the artist KEM? Laila Hathaway? Dwele? Those are just to name a few. These are artists who actually sing about the meaning of true love, apologizing to each other. 


My last relationship I was in went south, and I honestly can say that some of these songs and her friends definitely had an effect. And I can honestly say, whether she agrees with me or not, that it still does have an effect, but she's blind to it. 


Yeah, maybe I'm rambling on and a lot of this might be pointless to a lot of people because our generation we have now is so gone from this earth. The year is 2010, right? Imagine how music will be in about 5 to 10 years and what artists will be discussing then. Oh no! We won't have a young 9-year-old child like Willow Smith talking about whipping her hair back and forth. Instead, we will have a 9-year-old child talking about what boy on the playground has done them wrong.


As parents, we need to take more responsibility of our children. I am a true believer that everything starts in the household. That's how you get your child prepared for the real world. I can't tell you how many youtube videos I've seen of parents cheering their children on in the background to grind like Ciara, sing a Wocka Flocka song, and smoke weed! Things like this are really destroying the future and some (no, that's not the correct term, A LOT) of us don't give a f*ck!

MESSAGE TO THE FATHERS


Fathers, dads, baby dads, whatever you wanna call yourselves these days, don't think your son has limited choices of being an NBA basketball player, NFL football player, or a rapper! There's also a thing called education and a career at something that they were educated in at school. I know that jobs are crazy to come by now, but just because you didn't succeed, doesn't mean your son can't......EDUCATION WISE! Another thing, it's very important to be involved in your daughters lives as much as it is in your sons lives. If the mother of the child had a father, what makes you think that daughter doesn't wanna have one? Stay active in your child's life. This is another main reason why these chicks keep singing these depressing ass songs. Because they end up getting in a situation with a low-life who doesn't provide anything. Oh yeah, stay out the f*ckin' streets! I'm sick of hearin', "Datz all I knew," "Datz how I was raised," and "The streets made me." The streets didn't make you, yo' mama did, and you just fell victim to becoming a product of your own environment. Last but not least, respect women like you would respect God and your mother.

MESSAGE TO THE MOTHERS



Keep ya'll asses home! Quit trying to follow the life of another single mother who has a babysitter every weekend and feels free to go anywhere she wants. When you turn 30, and you are a regular club goer, trust me, you'll start to feel yourself look stupid. And lets keep it real, ask yourself when was the last time you had one of your friends say that they met their husband in a club? You keep dogging males out and saying that we're no good, but you continue to look in the wrong places. Because when a good man comes around, all he is going to see is the bad in you, which will often lead in to him turning away, cheating, or simply losing interest. Once again, this is where those songs come in! 


I don't know about ya'll, but I'm sick of it. I've had it. Quit taking steps forward and take a step back into reality.

JUST IN! T.I.'s L.A. case dropped, fans try to keep him out of Jail

Fans go to bat for Tip



Wow! It's amazing what a name, a rap career, and looks can do for some people. Sources say that a group that calls themselves, "Citizens of the State of Atlanta, Ga." has filed some court papers hoping to get Tip into rehab rather than do 11 months in prison. Rumor has it that this mystery group did a terrible job with grammar and spelling. After all their hard work, Tip is scheduled to turn himself in to authorities Nov. 1. Some say he has already checked himself into prison at Forrest City, Ark.


In other Tip news, L.A. has dropped the drug case against him, claiming there were significant legal issues over probable cause that led to Tip and his wife Tiny's arrest. In other words, they didn't have enough evidence to hit Tip with a drug charge. They claimed they smelled marijuana coming from the car (which they probably did), but they don't have the weed to prove it! So the crooked cops just believe that they have enough on Tip because he did violate his probation.  READ THIS CAREFUL PEOPLE! Tip is not getting out of any jail time, he's still going, just won't have any more charges to deal with.

Rhymefest running for City Alderman, Wale's performance causes problems, Nelly disappointed at top 10 MC's list

Wal-Mart Not banning Kanye's Album



We all know Kanye loves the controversy and being in the center of the spotlight. About a week ago or so, Kanye tweeted that Wally World was going to ban his album because of the controversial cover of him and a naked Phoenix. So Wally World gets on the defensive end and releases a statement, claiming that they never saw the artwork of Ye's album, and they have every intention on stocking their shelves with his new release. Now of course it will be the edited version, which is why I never go to Wally World (A.K.A. Wal-Mart) to buy CD's.

Oh yeah, here's the tracklist that was released on itunes:

1) Dark Fantasy
2) Gorgeous (feat. Kid Kudi & Raekwon)
3) Power
4) All of the Lights
5) Monster (feat. Jay Z, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj, Bon Iver)
6) So Appalled (feat. Jay Z, Pusha T, Cy Hi Da Prynce, Swizz Beatz and RZA)
7) Devil in a New Dress
8) Runaway (feat. Pusha T)
9) Hell of a Life
10) Blame Game (feat. John Legend, Pusha T)
11) Lost in the World
12) See Me Now (bonus)

Here is his 35-minute World Premiere of "Runaway"

Bushwick Bill will Remain in the U.S.


Former member of the Geto Boys, Bushwick Bill, will remain in the U.S. after a short stint of facing deportation. Bushwick was in police custody after being charged with drug possession. However, the judge ruled in his favor, so he is staying put. Bushwick is originally from Jamaica. This is what caused him to miss the VH1 Hip Hop Honors and performing beside other former member Willie D. When asked if the Geto Boys would ever reunite, Bushwick said the chances are likely not, because he thinks that the other group members are receptive to his new style of rap, which is gospel. Alright Bushwick! A bit of advice, communication is the key! Talk to them!


University of Mary Washington President apologizes for Wale's Performance



After receiving complaints from nearby residents of how loud the volume of the music was and profanity, president Rick Hurley released a statement apologizing about Wale's concert. This kind of crap happens too many times at colleges. They let the student body pick out their favorite rap artist they would like to have perform at their school, then when they realize who it is or what they represent, they say their sorry. Maybe if the faculty or the presidents of these colleges paid a little bit more attention and a short background research of these artists, they would be apologizing every time. Maybe that's why schools in Kentucky (where I'm from) don't have as many rap artists come because of the racist hicks we have running our colleges. I'm just sayin'!

50 and the Game Possibly trying to Communicate



Now I'm not gonna make this a big deal or get excited over nothing. And some of you all may not want this to happen...but in the tweeting world, it may have. Apparently, Game has tried to reach out to 50 via twitter by saying, "What up nigga." Now I don't know if that's the right approach or if 50 will ever respond. But I think this can be the season of reunions and squashing a lot of beefs. Hell, I would even like to see Nicki Minaj and Kim call it a truce. Who knows! But like I said before, to have 50, Game, Banks, Buck and Yayo all back together (even if it's just for once)..it would be a good look, and definitely keep the money flowin' in everybody's pockets. C'mon 50! Think about it!

MTV's top 10 Hottest MC's List...I really don't have any comment for this. Feel free to drop your opinion.

1) Eminem
2) Jay-Z
3) Kanye West
4) Drake
5) Rick Ross
6) Nicki Minaj
7) Lil’ Wayne
8 ) Waka Flocka Flame
9) B.o.B.
10) Ludacris

Nelly's Smellin' Himself



I guess he got a lil' offended that he wasn't on BET's Hottest MC's list. And as much as these lists are screwed up, I STILL don't think Nelly deserves to be on there! YES! He's made millions with his music and crossed-over to the mainstream successfully. But does anyone really know what the true definition of an emcee is? I think everyone has their own opinion, so I'll just leave it at that. Click the link below:

Here is BET's Top 10 MC's of the 21st Century (It's definitely better than MTV's)

6) Ludacris

Lil B releases the Gayest tweet ever!



First, this dude gets punched in the mouth by some crazy fans...then he makes up the wackest dance ever (cookin')...and he's Soulja Boy's patna! Just read what he said he would do to Kanye West.


Nuff said!

F.L.Y. Poetry

Part 2 of "How to Be a Fake Rapper"


1) Say that you are part of a gang (particularly Bloods or Crips)


2) Start a beef between another local rapper instead of working with them to put all the attention on you


3) Smoke weed and freestyle on a daily basis


4) Lie about your parents career...say that your mom or dad doesn't have a good job when they really do


5) Go out of state and talk about how much work you bring into your own city....in other words...make Kentucky appear in the eyes of others like it's New York, Florida or L.A.


6) Play with guns you don't own and shoot yourself in the chest like Lil Wayne did when he was young


7) Have some kids and become a "baby's dad"....don't pay child support and act like the income your getting from your wack ass shows is what's taking care of you and your family


8) Talk about how much people are just "hating" on you....when in reality...they really just aren't feelin' you


9) Post several youtube videos of you performing and keep the camera on you....not the crowds reaction


10) Have absolutely no kind of promotion or marketing plan

Still waiting on my homegirl Coya to get some of those N.O. recipes in. Stay tuned! Also, send me some of your favorite recipes at elvisfreshley.pinkston@gmail.com.

Too Nasty: Raz B (former group member of B2K) goes into detail about how Marques Houston and Chris Stokes had sex with him

Just Nasty!



Now that Omarion has filed for bankruptcy, I think it's official to say that all of B2K is done! However, Raz B is sticking by his crazy ass word that Marques Houston and former manager Chris Stokes molested him. The trip part about it is, dude name Quiton Tarver...r&b artist who remade Prince' hit song, "When Doves Cry" several years ago, said they did the same thing to him. But he gets into some pretty unflattering details about it. Click on the link below:

Kandi Almost gets into a fight on a Radio Show with another female



After looking at the footage, I still cannot tell what this was all about. All I know is that some female sitting beside Kandi may have said something to offend her....and Kandi didn't take it so well. Mediatakeout.com is reporting that the other female is Kandi's lesbian lover. I highly doubt that is true. But if you are a Housewives of Atlanta watcher like I am...it kinda makes you wonder just a LIL' bit from a previous episode that aired at the beginning of their new season. Remember when the white chick (Miss "Don't Be Tardy for the Party") came out and admitted about her gay lover....well I also remember that Kandi said that she was the only one that knew at one point. Wonder why she would confess to Kandi about something like that? Hmmmm? Good luck with this one Kandi! And listen to Lil' Duval clownin at the end of the video...LOL...Click below and enjoy!

Baracka Flacka Flame Goes Hard in the Paint video, Nicki Minaj listed at #6 on MTV's Hottest MC's in the Game, Part 1 of "How to Be a Fake Rapper" Manual

Happy Friday my people! I don't know about ya'll, but the week has flown by! Just copped me a lil' weekend date, so wish me luck! Other than my dating life, please continue to tune in for details about F.L.Y. Society turning into Corporate Swag Society. The website will start off concentrating on more local urban news to tune in with my audience better. NOW! Lets get to some of these Friday rumors.


50 Responds to Chelsea Handler Rumors



Like I said before, this guy's music is no longer relevant to me (Thank God for Lloyd Banks), but his money, power and marketing have made a lot of people in the industry respect him. 50 just landed a $200 million deal with his Cheetah Films associate Randall Emmet and Lionsgate. In case you didn't know, that's a big deal! When asked about his relationship with Chelsea Handler, he said they met and discussed about film projects. The two were spotted in New Orleans having dinner about a month ago. He did admit to sending her flowers, but that's about it. Now if you are the average person like me, you would speculate that these two have already sealed the deal! Check out the links below for an exclusive interview that Funkmaster Flex did with 50.

Kat Stacks Regrets Setting Soulja Boy Up (Yeah right! LOL)



This chick has definitely made her coochie mark on a lot of rappers. And for whatever reason, these rappers won't learn their lesson. No wonder we have all kinds of STD's spreading! Anyway, the queen of all young hoes recently did an interview for Vibe Magazine. She said she doesn't regret exposing the rappers, EXCEPT Soulja Boy. She claims that because they had a mis-communication problem, that's why she did what she did. Oh yeah, one more thing: She said that her and Soulja Boy are cool now, but not like they use to be. I mean, who is this chick kidding? Remember Choppa (Diddy's Making the Band)....well if you followed Kat Stacks in some of her earlier video posts before she really got HOE-WING-LEE famous, she tried to get at him, but he quickly shut her down after revealing that he has video footage of her gettin' banged out by him and his crew. After that, there were some videos posted with her apologizing to him and squashing the beef. Sooooooo, this means that she's basically lying to Vibe. Not only did she regret Soulja Boy, but she regrets the rants with Choppa. Maybe she's not telling that part because Choppa's career isn't as big as Soulja's. Just a thought. Kat also talked to Vibe about her former pimp, prostitution and drinking problem as well. What is the world coming to?


Swizz Beatz and Cassidy Getting Sued Over 2007 Song



Lord knows Swizzy doesn't need any issues while taking care of my wife (Alicia Keys) and their new baby. A producer name Antwann Frost claims that he helped Swizzy produce Cassidy's song, "My Drink N' My 2 Step" and didn't get any royalties from it. He said that Swizzy offered him $5,000 and partial ownership of the song, but dude is suing for like $1.5 millie! Now why in the hell would you wait three years later to mention something about a song you should have gotten paid for. If that was me, I would have been screaming about my paper back then, ya dig!

Lupe asks MTV a lot of Questions on Twitter



This is what Lupe addressed to the people over at MTV via his twitter:

Oh snap…MTV (illuminati’s favorite network) back on the attack…why can’t y’all just chill out? Salacious banality @ the speed of light? I think I’ve been very good natured with you. I personally know several employees of your company. You guys know me as well. I’m confused. Where is the true music journalism??? where is Suchin?!! What happened? Where are the honest critiques of cultural expression? For it’s not about being RIGHT it’s about being HOT Fame over self-awareness and virtue Hedonism over self respect Celebrity over cerebral. A destroying force in our culture and society just like rest of the useless vapid spectacles that pour out of our tv’s and radios.

What are we supposed to be learning from you? What is your point? Do you have a point beyond corporate sponsored distraction? Your a materialistic shell of your former self that can only identify with celebrity pageantry and instant gratification. Corporate garbage pushing plastic lifestyles and wasteful, destructive behavior into the brains of the youth of the world. So when your relevance thins in2 a whisper & the stock price collapses and you have 2 come 2 grips with the mess you made. I’ll be here 4 ya. We’ll be here. With hands full of baby powder 2 smack some sense back into your body & a warm shoulder to cry on. We want the REAL MTV back!

Nicki Minaj lands at #6 on MTV's Hottest MC's in the Game List:




They are counting down the top 10...and believe me..this list is a bunch of what I like to call "Tom Foolery!" Congrats to Nicki, who's ahead of Lil' Wayne on the list. But I really have to do some investigating and find out who actually makes this list every year. One things for sure, they must go into witness protection after they finish deciding. Anyway, here is who they have listed so far:


10) Ludacris
9) B.O.B.
8) Wacka Flocka Flame
7) Lil Wayne
6) Nicki Minaj


YOU BE THE JUDGE!

Lloyd Banks' tracklisting for H.F.M.2



Like I said before, Banks is one of my favorite rappers and I have a lot of high expectations for this album. However, my only concern is all of the features. Not to say that the features aren't on point. But I hope it doesn't change Banks' sound. Can't wait for it to drop! Nov. 23 people! 

F.L.Y. Fashion Advice for Homecoming



Okay, so there have been a lot of homecomings going on for colleges. The University of Kentucky will be celebrating homecoming this weekend. WKU and EKU's homecoming will take place next weekend. So with all of these homecomings, comes some fashion concerns. The most popular places that people will be seen is at the football games, stepshows (except for EKU..the Colonels don't have one), and alumni party. I'm not trying to tell you people what to wear, how to wear it, or what to do after you wear it! But whatever you do, don't be a grown ass adult getting excited like it's the first day of school and what you're going to wear to shut everybody else down! Particularly, this happens a lot with the ladies. So Ladies!!!! It's okay to be F.L.Y., but it's not okay when you get homecoming mixed up with Halloween. I'm a Western alumni and former football player returning to my homecoming this year for the first time since I graduated in 05'. The outfits and people's attitudes should be interesting. I expect to see a lot of costumes come out next Friday and Saturday night. When it's all said and done, dress appropriately and be yourself. It's too late to impress someone and talk about the what if's, ands, and buts. If you're not doing nothing with your life now, don't lie about it, however many kids you have...admit to it. Last but not least, this is just for a weekend, NOT FOREVER! I'm out!

F.L.Y. Poetry

How to be a Fake Rapper Manual


To gain some respect, go stay overnight in a holding cell for a small violation and tell everyone that you did some time because somebody snitched on you...or it dealt with drugs


Tell people about record deals that you don't really have


Post several youtube videos yourself and what little crew you have bragging about the money you're not really getting


Lie about where you live at


Borrow one of your friends guns and pose with it in a picture


Rap about stuff you don't do and will never do


Build your reputation up by never letting people know how you were as a child or in high school

Gucci headed to Rehab, Dipset in the Studio with Dr. Dre, Bun B to teach at Rice University

What's good folks! Did ya miss me?! LOL...My apologies for taking some time off. Actually, it was good time taken off. I recently came into a nice opportunity to launch my own website called Corporate Swag Society. Yes! That's right! Corporate Swag Society is on deck! Basically, I'm turning this blogsite into a website. I sincerely thank all of my supporters and non-supporters because without you all, this wouldn't have been possible. As for all of my supporters, I hope you can help me in the marketing department by spreading the word. I will keep you up to date with the details! Stay tuned! Now lets get to some of this crazy ass news that's been going on......

WoW! It seemed like I had been gone forever the way the news and rumors have flooded in. For about the 80th time, Beyonce is supposed to be pregnant....AGAIN! My wife Alicia Keys had a baby boy that I hate to say was not mine. T.I.'s short stint out the slammer has him crawling right back in for about 11 months, and did anybody hear about Gucci headed to rehab?


Is it Really Gucci's Time?



Remember back in the early 90s when some of us were young and most of the rappers we listened to didn't go to jail? Hell, even N.W.A. and 2 Live Crew had fairly clean records! Nowadays, it seems like if you are a rapper, you are not cool and are not certified unless you get some time behind bars. Allegedly, Gucci's attorney and a few other unknown people have recommended that he check himself into rehab because of a drug addiction.....to COCAINE....is what I heard. Maybe this is where he gets his motivation behind some of those bars he spits on the mic. Who knows? All I do know is that when Gucci got out, he was supposed to make good on two things. 1) Squash the beef with Jeezy and CTE.....there hasn't been much said between these two camps as of lately, but clearly, it's not looking like a Dipset reunion. 2) He was interviewed by the news after being released and saying that he has learned his lesson and jail has made him a better person. But has it really? As I mentioned before, I'm not for sure how much of this is true. But I'm sick of rappers getting 1,001 chances.

T.I.! See you in 11 months!

 

Tip is the most disappointing out of all of this. He really had the public looking up to him and made himself even a more prominent figure before going to prison the first time. But of course, in the eyes of T.I. fans, this man can do no wrong. Well sorry, I'm definitely a T.I. fan, and he definitely has done wrong....AGAIN! The strangest thing about this is I honestly think the guy who was SUPPOSEDLY about to commit suicide until Tip came to the rescue and talked him out of it, was a hoax. So you're telling me that the day before you get sentenced, you're gonna save a man's life, which could honestly have led to a lesser sentence or no jail time. However, looks like Tip, his wife and attorneys didn't get what they asked for (which was drug rehab). Let me go into the psychic mode for a minute.....uhhhhhh...my crystal ball tells me that Tip doesn't have a drug problem, he has a recreational drug use problem. It was unfortunate that he and his wife were so stupid to ride in a Maybach with drugs in their system. Once you become a celebrity, you are not considered to be an average human being like myself, which I understand can be hard. However, along with money, comes more problems. We learned that one from the big homie Biggie. So farewell Tip! Before you and Tiny make more mistakes, I asked that you think about your family's well being first. Not that you weren't but, it's pretty evident that you didn't think you were going to be punished for your actions.

Dipset in the Studio with Dr. Dre



With Cam, Juelz and Jimmie in the studio with Dre, only leads me to ask one question: How does 50 feel about this? It's funny how all these rappers can have beef with each other, but when it comes to working with Dr. Dre, who gets along with pretty much everybody, nothing is said. 50 has definitely lost in the music game (thank God for Lloyd Banks)...but 50 is one hell of a promoter. Because of collaborations like this, even if it's 5-10 years from now, don't count out a G-Unit reunion (Game, 50, Banks, Yayo, Buck)...too good to be true right...imagine how much money these guys can make? And they could definitely help Buck out!

B Is NOT Preggers!



This isn't even worth my time writing, but in case you are still wondering, Hov's wifey is not pregnant. I don't know where people get some of their information. As I said before, this kind of rumor usually floats around annually. On the upside, we do know that B definitely wants a family.....SOMEDAY, but not today!

R.I.P. Stack Bundles



If you don't know who this guy is....google him. He was an up and coming artist who was closely tied to Jim Jones, Joe Buddens and a few others. His life was cut short by a stupid murder. May you rest in peace my brother.

Happy Birthday Mya! 31 and still looking fine as hell!



Why did Ya'll Make Monica Leave Twitter!?!?

 

I hate to say it, but from her "Man" track record, I seen this one coming a mile away. What's so disappointing about it is that Monica is beautiful, intelligent and very talented....But we all know that every good girl likes a thug or a lil' ruggedness in her man. C-Murder...ties to Young Buck....Rocco...now Shannon Brown. About a year or two ago, we saw her premiere her reality show on BET and building a house with then future hubby Rocco...fast forward to now...she has accepted Shannon Brown's proposal. I'm not mad at her cause I'm a Laker fan...I just hope this one sticks.


Swizzy and Alicia head out for some Shopping



Fresh out the womb, my wife was caught shopping with Swizzy and their love child they had together. Damn baby! I hope he's treating you right. You know you can always come back home.

Cee-Lo is Back!

His very first solo album captured my attention. And I have been waiting on him to drop another one ever since. It's been about eight years or so, but with a new revived Elektra Records, and his song "F*ck You" getting plenty of spins, I believe "Lady Killer" will have some success. Notice I didn't mention anything about Gnarls Barkley cause that's not my kind of thing.

Bun B headed to Rice University



The Trill O.G. is going to teach a hip hop and religion course at Rice University in Houston, Tx. Now if you're thinking what I'm thinking, you would know this class was booked from the very start...AND! You know tons of wannabe rappers are coming to class with a fresh demo in their hands. Interesting to see how this will play out.

Is it Just Me???? You be the Judge!



I honestly don't know what 50 and Soulja Boy were thinking when XXL picked this as the cover.  Nuff said!


F.L.Y. Poetry

Inner City Louisville




A liquor store at every street corner constantly calls my name
A 15-year-old pregnant girl just caught the Tarc bus home
The winters are so cold, just like a lot of these young killers, who won't think twice about taking another man's life, but neither do the cops
Couples faithfully go to bible study on Wednesday and church on Sunday, and still won't do right
I look at the skinny old homeless man with nappy dreadlocks and ask myself how did he get like this
The west end looks like a completely different society than on the east end
Will it ever come together?
