Snoop Diggity Breaks it all Down

My momma gave me the name. I used to love Peanuts and Charlie Brown -- Snoopy was my favorite cartoon character growing up. I watched so much, I started to look like him.

A lot of people like to fool you and say that you're not smart if you never went to college, but common sense rules over everything. That's what I learned from selling crack.

Love goes unappreciated a lot of times, but you still gotta keep giving it.

The first time I got high off marijuana was in the seventies, with one of my uncles. They had these little roaches on the table -- these part-way-smoked marijuana cigarettes -- and there was some Schlitz Malt Liquor Bull. I went in there and sipped the Schlitz, and my uncle asked me did I wanna hit that roach. And I was like, "Yeah." He put it on the roach clip for me and lit it up, and I hit that motherfucker. I was about eight or nine years old.

Weed: It makes me feel the way I need to feel.

Funkmaster Flex Talkin Crazy

In case you don’t know, this is huge.  Funkmaster Flex, a DJ on Hot 97 in New York, said that he wants to ban Interscope artists.  That means that Eminem and Dr. Dre would be out of the rotation.  Flex had this to say:

“Like I told you, Interscope Records is a label,” Funkmaster Flex explained on his show. “They have G-Unit—they have 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo. They haveAkon’s label too…A lot of your favorite artists New York, but let me tell you something. That label is trying to make some decisions. Nino, let me tell you something Nino. New York, I’m talking to a person who makes decisions. Who does things up there moving funny style.”

Russell Simmons Speaks to Dr. Boyce Watkins, New York Times About His RushCard

From Dr. Boyce Watkins

To the YourBlackWorld family:  Some of you saw my recent critique of the RushCard, the new prepaid debit card issued by Russell Simmons.  Some took my article about the RushCard and interview about the Rushcard on BBC World news and The New York Times to imply that I have serious problems with the way Russell Simmons does business.  While I do not feel that Russell, nor anyone else, is above being critiqued by the Black community, it should be made clear that I respect much of Simmons’ work, especially what he has done to reduce the severity of the drug laws that incarcerate so many Black men across America. 

I must admit that I’ve been disturbed by the recent trend of African American urban role models lending themselves out to companies such as Rent-a-Center to encourage people of color to participate in arguably one-sided financial transactions.  But I must be clear when I say that the RushCard is not necessarily a bad deal for those who need it.  My greatest challenge to President Obama is to find ways to ensure that all Americans have access to basic services, such as bank accounts, so they are not forced to pay high fees in order to access their own money.  I cannot endorse an argument which states that Russell is necessarily a philanthropist (as his ads claim) because his company provides an option that improves upon the horrific options already in place.  So, while I agree 100% that the RushCard is better than check cashing venues in the Black community, my greatest concern is that many members of the urban poor are still paying the high cost of poverty in America.  It is my hope that Russell sincerely fulfills his role as philanthropist, leader and financial enabler by genuinely working to solve critical liquidity and financial literacy problems in urban America.  I have complete faith that he can accomplish whatever he puts his mind to.

So, out of fairness to Russell, I want all of you to see his response to the New York Times piece, which is written below.  My goal is not to think for you, it’s to encourage you to think for yourself.

Yea, Right: Nick Cannon Tries to Defend Mariah’s Privacy

Mariah Carey's husband Nick Cannon has urged the press to stop speculating about when the couple will welcome their first child - calling the relentless pregnancy rumors "disrespectful".

The pair wed in the Bahamas last year and have been dogged by baby rumors ever since.

Earlier this week, the Hero hitmaker was forced to deny reports she is undergoing fertility treatment to help her become pregnant.

And now Cannon has hit back - insisting the media should give the couple some space.

Jamie Foxx Gets Heat for his Words About Miley Cirus

Jamie Foxx Might be in trouuuuuble!

The 41-year-old’s foul outburst was prompted by a caller to the show who brought up a month-old story in which Cyrus pledged to “ruin” Radiohead after the rockers rejected a request to meet with the Disney star backstage at the Grammys.

“Who is Miley Cyrus?” an incredulous Foxx, who has a teenage daughter of his own, said. “The one with all the gums? She gotta get a gum transplant…S–t.”

The insults didn’t stop there. Or get less personal.

“She’s gonna ruin Radiohead’s career? The same Radiohead that gets paid a million dollars just to sample their songs?

“Make a sex tape and grow up,” he continued. “Get like Britney Spears and do some heroin. Do like Lindsay Lohan and start seeing a lesbian and get some crack in your pipe. Catch chlamydia on a bicycle seat.

“That’s what I want.” E Online

Miley’s dad, Billy Ray, is particularly upset, according to the source.

“He thinks Jamie was out of line and didn’t find any humor in it,” the source told me this afternoon. “He doesn’t understand why he would do that to Miley, especially since he has teenage daughter himself.” E Online

Foxx noted to Jay Leno that he was doing a routine, saying: “Sometimes as comedians, you know, we go a little too far.”

Hip Hop News: Officer Rick Ross Tries to Defend His Corrections Officer Past

When MTV News had the chance to listen to Rick Ross' Deeper Than Rap on Monday, two things stood out to us immediately about the much-discussed track"Valley of Death": It does not feature Lil Wayne as advertised, at least not on the album, which is due out on April 21. But Ross does speak briefly on his controversial stint as a prison guard.

"N---a never had a gun and badge," he stresses, dismissing the word that he was indeed an officer of the law. "Can't criticize n---as trying to get a job."

Later he implies that while he was working as a corrections officer, he was also on the streets, declaring that he had "two jobs."

"I'll C.O. so we could bow our head and pray over the meatloaf," Ross rhymes. "You can label me the biggest label in the game."

Lady Drama: Bow Wow Rappin About Sunshine

I’m not feeling Bow Wow’s Sunshine, but I’ll let you judge for yourself.  He seems to be coming off like a shorter, younger, less talented and broker version of TI (remember that song “You can have it all”?  Don’t that sound like “You can have whatever you like?”).  Also, the video seems a bit on the low budget side, since Bow Wow shoots the whole damn video from his trailer (WTF?). 

But don’t let me hate on it, check it out for yourself.  Click the image to watch the video.

Do You Remember MC Eiht? This Groupie Does

 

Remember MC Eiht?  He’s the dude from Compton’s Most Wanted who also starred in the movie Menace 2 Society about 100 years ago.  Well, apparently his girlfriend is putting him on blast for not being able to get it up during sex.  Here is what she had to say:

“[MC] Eiht has a problem. With his penis – it doesn’t work. He can’t get it up for some reason.
He said it’s because he f*cked so many b*tches back in the day, when he really had it going on. You know how n*ggas got it going on, they got all this money, they rappers, they f*ck 2 and three b*tches a day.
Well apparently that makes your d*ck stop working, ‘cause that’s what happened to [MC] Eiht.”

But then again, maybe she is putting it on him that she can’t get him excited enough to want to do it!  Anyway, if you want to find out why people used to pay attention to this dude back in the day, click on the link below to watch one of his videos.

Black News: Kanye West Appears on South Park

Kanye West appeared on the cartoon “Southpark”.  Here is what he had to say:

 

“SOUTH PARK MURDERED ME LAST NIGHT AND IT’S PRETTY FUNNY. IT HURTS MY FEELINGS BUT WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM SOUTH PARK! I ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON MY EGO THOUGH. HAVING THE CRAZY EGO IS PLAYED OUT AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE AND CAREER. I USE TO USE IT TO BUILD UP MY ESTEEM WHEN NOBODY BELIEVED IN ME. NOW THAT PEOPLE DO BELIEVE AND SUPPORT MY MUSIC AND PRODUCTS THE BEST RESPONSE IS THANK YOU INSTEAD OF “I TOLD YOU SO!!!” IT’S COOL TO TALK SHIT WHEN YOU’RE RAPPING BUT NOT IN REAL LIFE. WHEN YOU MEET LITTLE WAYNE IN PERSON HE’S THE NICEST GUY FOR EXAMPLE. I JUST WANNA BE A DOPER PERSON WHICH STARTS WITH ME NOT ALWAYS TELLING PEOPLE HOW DOPE I THINK I AM. I NEED TO JUST GET PAST MYSELF. DROP THE BRAVADO AND JUST MAKE DOPE PRODUCT. EVERYTHING IS NOT THAT SERIOUS. AS LONG AS PEOPLE THINK I ACT LIKE A BITCH THIS TYPE OF SHIT WILL HAPPEN TO ME. I GOT A LONG ROAD AHEAD OF ME TO MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE I’M NOT ACTUALLY A HUGE DOUCHE BUT I’M UP FOR THE CHALLENGE. I’M SURE THE WRITERS AT SOUTH PARK ARE REALLY NICE PEOPLE IN REAL LIFE. THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO DRAW MY CREW. THAT WAS PRETTY FUNNY ALSO!! I’M SURE THERE’S GRAMMATICAL ERRORS IN THIS… THAT’S HOW YOU KNOW IT’S ME!”

The Big 3 Hang Out in Las Vegas

Eminem, Dr. Dre and 50 Cent are legendary rappers in their own right, yet the three icons recently joined forces during a recording session in the studio at the Palms.

The resort’s owner, George Maloof, said the trio had the loudest recording sessions the casino has ever heard.

“I think it’s the only time that we’ve had anybody in our studio where you could actually hear the sound through the walls,” he said.

“The room … is four rooms in one,” he explained. “It’s, like, impossible to hear through the walls – except for those guys.”

A number of the resort’s musically-inclined A-list guests have used the studio in the past. Usher used it to the lay down a few tracks during his last visit – yet no sound escaped when the R&B star used it.

Maloof credited Eminem, Dr. Dre and 50 Cent’s high volume to the enhanced equipment the rappers imported for the 3-week-long project.

Michael Vick Gets a Big Fat “HAYELL NAW” from the Bankruptcy Judge

Fallen NFL star Michael Vick told a bankruptcy judge Friday that he became a changed man in prison and is determined to do all the right things upon his release from prison, including repaying his creditors with the millions he hopes to resume earning in professional football.

But after more than three hours of testimony in which Vick laid out what he called his "exit strategy," U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Frank J. Santoro rejected it. Santoro told Vick to draft a new Chapter 11 plan, one with a bit more certainty.

Santoro said there is no guarantee the league will have the 28-year-old player back, and suggested he start on a new plan by considering liquidating one or both of his Virginia homes and three cars he had planned to keep.

Cosmetologist Roxanna Floyd and stylist Susan Moses are claiming that Latifah owes them $1 million for their work on her CoverGirl ad campaign and her “Curvations” line of intimate apparel.
