Foxy Wants Out!

Last Thursday I put up a post about Foxy Brown needing to calm her crazy ass down and needing to be sent to jail. Well just days later, she would go in for a hearing for violating her parole and that’s just what happened, they told her she needs to sit her ass in jail until her September 7th hearing date since she can’t get her attitude straight.

So now she’s in jail… complaining and acting a fool. She even had her lawyer file a suit against the New York Department of corrections because she is “suffering greatly” and on the grounds that the judge who tossed her in jail for violating her probation made a ruling that was “arbitrary” and “unlawful.” Sucks to be Foxy, because the judge who received the filing for the suit to get her out tossed it… so her ass will have to stay in jail.

Not so hard now huh??? Do your time Fox… New York is not California. You will be in until they decide to set you free. Let’s hope she is learning a lesson of tough love while in the pen ;-\

Lookin' Broke

Tasha over at YBF has pictures from Yung Joc’s Hustlenomics album release party in the ATL and all I can say is damn! Joc was on that list of hip hop’s richest artists that came out two weeks ago, but how you gonna be rich, wear big gawdy ugly ass chains and STILL LOOK BROKE??!! Not cute Joc. Try again.

Check out the rest of the pics over at YBF.

Poor Little Mixed Girl

KeKe Wyatt’s white momma likes to call her and other people NIGGA. Not NIGGER.

While checking the blogs this morning – one of the first I always check is Rhymes With Snitch because she has that “news from the bathroom wall” – I found the interview of R&B singer Ketara “KeKe” Wyatt from Essence.com. You may remember KeKe from the duet with Avant, “Nothing In This World.” She got sentenced to jail for stabbing her then husband/manager after he “put his hands on her” a few years back, but now she’s out and ready to release a new album.

Although KeKe is light skin-ded (yes, I DID type ‘skin-ded’), it never occurred to me that she was of mixed race, but she is. She speaks about it in her interview with Essence.com… that she’s 25% black and blah blah blah… the entire article is QUITE hilarious because it goes to speak – from my opinion anyway – on how SOME… and I repeat SOME mixed race children grow up without a sense of self and are confused, even sometimes delusional about race – including their own racial make up.

There’s a lot more of the interview and you can get it either over at Essence.com or Rhymes (Rhymes has the funniest comments on the article). I especially tripped out on how she said her white mother used to call her nigga and that her mom uses the word often when she’s talking to people. What her mom chooses to call people is really not that big of a deal to me (people are gonna say what they're gonna say), the part that got me the most is what I pasted below, she refers to black people with “they” and “their” and the rest I just highlighted because its all just so ridiculous! Her label PR person should have shut this shit down before it ever saw the net :-\

Interview:

Essence.com: Yes, and many people still believe that “ignorant people” equals “Black people.”

K.W.: At the end of the day, you’re the one who is ignorant. I don’t think people should use the word so much. I hate how everyone thinks that Black people are beneath them, even Asians, Whites and ...Mexicans. No, I’m not all Black, but I definitely stand up for the Black people. They’ve had it rough, they can’t help the fact that they’re skin is dark, or that their nose is a lil’ wider or that the curls in their hair might be tighter than yours. I don’t think that it’s fair for people who look like me with the light skin, pointy nose and the pretty hair to think that dark-complected people are any less than them. Who am I? I’m not better than you. I breathe the same air and I bleed the same blood. Nobody is better than anybody else. We are all in this struggle called life. I think brown skin is beautiful because people like me have to lay out in the sun to try and look like you. My best friends are Black-Black-Black—and I think that’s so beautiful. I think that’s why I decided to make my children Black. I could have married a White dude or got with a White man and my kids probably would have looked completely White. That’s not what I wanted. Now, they can go outside and get a for-real tan (laughs). I think Black is beautiful. I stand for the African-American people until the day I die.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By the way… If you know KeKe’s mom, please send her a link to this site… ya know, since she likes the word nigga and all, she would REALLY like my blog ;-)

Here are some YouTube clips of KeKe. I thought it would be good to put up videos of her as well, because sometimes pictures don’t always give you a good sense of what someone looks like (you know with the hair and make-up artists doing their magic). LOOKS BLACK TO ME… but you be the judge:

Athletes Are The New DUMB

I don’t know if Rafer Alston aka Skip To My Lou (from his AND1 days) is guilty or not of the latest charge against him – stabbing a man at Stereo, a Manhattan nightclub, but damn it… will these dudes just stop making it easy for me to talk shit about them???

So ALLEGEDLY Rafer got into an argument with a guy after he bumped into him and decided to stab him. Now I know that he should have better sense than this, so I won’t go all the way off on him because it does sound a little far fetched – especially since club bouncers and witnesses said the ALLEGED victim didn’t appear to have any injuries when he left the club.

BUT…

Since he was just charged with misdemeanor assault and public intoxication THREE WEEKS AGO for manhandling and spitting on a parking attendant because his car was towed, I say he needs to keep his ass at home. No more going out or you lose your NBA contract and its back to AND1 for you! And you know he doesn’t want that :-\

A Great Candidate for DontDateHimGirl.com

Somebody took Ludacris’ song “Hoes in Different Area Codes” a little too seriously. Travis Henry of the Denver Broncos has NINEnine children with NINE different women in at least four southern states. I will give you a moment to marinate on that.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, a judge has ordered him to pay $3,000 a month to Jameshia Beacham, the mother of his three year old son in Dekalb County Georgia. He has also been ordered by several other judges to pay child support with seven of his other children.

Travis has a $25M dollar contract and gets in the neighborhood of $50,000 a month. He received a one million dollar bonus this year as well. Now you think to yourself, “this should be enough to cover child support for nine children.” Right??? Yes, all that child support should make you have to keep your flossing to a minimum, but you can still live comfortably and take care of your responsibilities. But noooooooo… not with Travis. According to court testimony, he spent $146,000 on jewelry and buying hundred thousand dollar cars :-\

Now I’m a firm believer in people spending their hard earned money however they please, but DAMN NIGGA… you got NINE kids. Pay some child support without having to be ORDERED to by a judge! $146,000 divided by nine is $16,222. That breaks down to a little over $1,350 a month. I know it’s expensive to raise kids these days, but $1,350 a month is better than sending them nothing at all – but of course, we know if he managed his money better, he could pay more. His situation is so bad, that he had to borrow money from his former team, the Tennessee Titans to pay court ordered child support or face going to jail. Something’s wrong with that… this man clearly has a PROJECT NIGGA mentality. And the women who had all that unprotected sex with him? I’m not even gonna speak on the nastiness of his raw penis in all those women – just nine (that we know of) were sperminated! Just think of all the other women he gave his magic stick to. Ewwww. This idiot is giving James Brown a run for his money.

For a funny take on this fool, check out Fresh over at Crunk & Disorderly.

I Don't Believe You. You Need More People.

When young athletes are in middle/high school and their talent is realized, they start getting special treatment. Teachers, coaches, school administrators, parents, friends… mostly everyone coddles them. These kids begin to believe the hype. They come to think of themselves as invincible. That they are above the law – or at least someone will make sure any transgressions will be taken care of – that things will be swept under the rug and they are never held accountable.

Michael Vick is one of those kids. He knew better. His own father warned him that he should disassociate himself from dog fighting. Why risk your NFL career and being an icon in the league for something as stupid as dog fighting? But NOW – after being caught, threatened with federal prison time and losing his lucrative NFL contract and endorsement deals – he says he needs to “grow up.” Word?

Yesterday Mike gave an apology that a lot of sports, legal analysts and even the Falcon’s owner is calling “heart-felt.” But really, how heart felt was that apology? I personally think he just finally got a grasp within the last two weeks of just how serious this whole dog fighting thing is to some Americans and he now knows that he has to appease those he’s offended. Otherwise, he still wouldn’t give a shit, wouldn’t think anything was wrong with what he’s done and basically would still be dog fighting tomorrow if he hadn’t been caught and there weren’t outraged animal advocates. And the whole thing with him finding Jesus, asking Jesus’ forgiveness and turning his life over to God… I just don’t buy it. Prison time and losing millions – possibly having to go work at the Newport News Burger King (because you know he probably knows nothing but football) – will make you feign turning over a new leaf like a muhhphucka! Remember, he still has to be sentenced in December – he has to convince the judge that he’s a changed man if he has any hopes of getting the minimum sentence.

Maybe now some of these other professional athletes, actors and even rappers will now start to take a long, hard look at their entourages. The dudes they choose to keep around them. Keeping questionable people around you – even family, brings heat into your life. Mike’s cousin, Davon Boddie is the dumb-ass who drew the heat. An investigation and drug raid on Davon back in April is how they found dog fighting equipment, which got the investigation against Mike in full swing.

Hey guys, make sure the people that you are loyal to – including family – don’t bring prying eyes upon you. And as I stated in my post about T.I. back on July 21st, the dudes around you need to also be clear, that if anything goes down, they need to take the fall and keep your name out of it… and in return, you take care of them and their family. Clearly, Vick’s co-defendants didn’t have the same loyalty to him that he had for them.

Michael Vick had a lucrative mutli-year contract with the Falcons for $130 million dollars. He was the number one man on that team. He was the most celebrated, talked-about player on that team… he was a BLACK QUARTERBACK in a league that still has too few. Now he’s going to be a convict. All he had to do was train, keep his body in tip-top shape and play football – nothing else. Think about that. There are people out here who have to brave dangerous jobs… or just plain shitty jobs day in and day out just to earn a pittance of what he was banking. Hell, some people can’t even get jobs! Now that’s all shot to hell. The debate rages on now whether or not he will get to play in the NFL again after he serves his federal sentence, but only time will tell.

Check out Rhymes With Snitch for the transcribed, filled with “you-knows,” apology speech he gave after his plea in court yesterday.

Where My Dogs At?

If you KNOW that the state you live in – Arizona – is not too fond of black people and you’re a self described NIGGA, why on earth wouldn’t you have your dog game in check???

Yeah, yeah, yeah… DMX hasn’t been to his Arizona home in two months, blah blah blah… yeah he hired someone to take care of the dogs and he’s just as shocked as we are… BLAH BLAH BLAH.

Give me a break! Dude, you should have KNOWN they were coming for you with this Michael Vick situation going on and the media making the correlation between dog fighting, athletes and HIP HOP! They were showing new stories on Vick, specifically running file footage of DMX videos that featured the pit bulls, talking about how dog fighting is a part of an underground urban culture!!!

Shoulda made you think… “Damn, I still got those burned dog carcasses in by back yard? I need to get that shit up outta there … QUICKLY.” Not only that, but a NIGGA living in Arizona should know better than to leave narcotics just kickin’ it at your crib – whether you’re in town or not. Smoke and dispose… smoke and dispose… ya know, kinda like puff puff pass! I know DMX is not known for making smart decisions and his good judgment, but you would think ALL black men in sports and entertainment would be on alert and keeping their noses clean with all the legal drama in the media lately.

Ike & Tina - Remixed for 2007

The niggas across the pond are at it again.

Our favorite old-soul sangin' black woman, Amy Winehouse and her husband Blake were staying at a hotel in London after prematurely checking themselves out of rehab this week and got into one of those knock-down, drag-out, Ike-n-Tina-in-the-back-of-the-limo-n-What's-Love-Got-To- Do-With-It fights. Now they're both all scratched and bruised up and bloodied for the paps to see. I really hope Amy gets her shit together soon. This is too sad :-( Of course, they caught back up with each other and had - as Wendy Williams put it to Whitney Houston a few years back - "wild animal sex."

I feel like there should be some kind of intervention with Tina Turner, Mary J. Blige and Whitney Houston because apparently her family and friends can't get through to her. She's about to throw it all away. Click here for the full story over at the UK's Daily Mail.

Bye Bye Any Chance at Another Shot of a Major League Career!

You may or may not have heard of José Offerman. He’s a former MLB Allstar that played for the Redsox, Dodgers, Mets, etc. But as things go for athletes, your skills diminish as you get older and well, you have to take what you can get. In an effort to keep up his game and to impress MLB scouts enough to give him another opportunity, 38 year old José was playing in the minor leagues for the Long Island Ducks. He was doing well and may have had another chance… BUT José had to keep it real when Matt Beech, pitcher of the Bridgeport Bluefish, threw a pitch that nailed him in the leg. You say to yourself… “self, batters get hit by pitches quite frequently in baseball.” Why yes they do. But maybe José was having a bad day, because he took off running toward the pitcher’s mound for Beech, baseball bat firmly gripped and in the air ready to swing. Bluefish catcher John Nathans saw what was about to go down and ran to help out his teammate. José was on one, because he could not be stopped. Swinging wildly, he hit both of them, cracking Nathans in the back of the head and breaking one of Beech’s fingers. Click here to see a slideshow from the Connecticut Post to see frame by frame how it went down. After the scuffle was broken up, José was arrested by Bridgeport police and booked for assault. He has subsequently been suspended indefinitely from the independent Atlantic league for his behavior.

Wednesday afternoon, in a telephone interview, José apologized for his actions, but says he never hit anyone. Nigga what??? They have you on film swinging the bat!!! He says he will vigorously defend himself in court against the charges and that "The catcher just made it up that I hit him in the back of the head and I didn't hit the pitcher either." He also says "They are not telling the truth; I didn't hit anyone...They have their own reasons for saying I did." Yeah, damn it, because you did! Ay Dios mio!!! José clearly drinks the same brand of reality juice as pedophile R. Kelly.

Guys get into brawls in baseball all the time… but the swinging of bats is a huge NO NO. Damn José… just DAMN! Now the wife and kids need to start looking for property in the ‘jects :-\

When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong, Part 3

Apparently cell phones are the new brass knuckles. Foxy Brown, who’s already on probation for an assault on a beauty supply employee earlier this year in Florida, has literally struck again. Fox Boogie got into an argument with her neighbor back on July 30th in Brooklyn, pulled a Naomi Campbell on the chick and beat the girl in the face with her Blackberry. The girl was taken to a hospital for loosened teeth and a swollen lip and right eye. The victim filed charges and Foxy had to turn herself in. She’s now out on bail and has a date with the judge on September 26th. In the meantime, she has to submit to drug tests and attend anger management classes. What? Anger management classes??? There’s no help for this chick… back in January of this year, she got into an argument and threatened her anger management counselor, so ummm… don’t think that’s gonna work!

Do you agree with me that if you got a slap on the wrist for two previous charges of beating down folks that you should go and sit your ass down somewhere???

She should get a mandatory jail sentence this time…

and be forced to have to give face to this ugly chick every night. Oh, sorry, that’s not an ugly chick, it’s just T-Pain :-\

There’s Powerful Niggardry at Work Here…

It can’t always be about the ones with money. Sometimes the ones that manage to get media attention can do some outright dumb shit to make you cringe… make you want to yell at your TV screen! Perfect example is a young lady by the name of Antoria Gillon. So 20 year old Antoria was in Dallas – 9 months pregnant – standing in line for hours for the American Idol Audition. This is a grueling wait for just the every day person, but someone 9 months pregnant??? As the labor pains start, Antoria insists on sticking it out and getting her chance in front of the judges. Antoria SINGS through her contractions and is even asked by a judge if she is okay. She insists she is and sings on. While all of this is going on, an ambulance is summoned to take her away, but she still insists on finishing her song… she refused to get in until she got her golden ticket to the next round! WTF??? She got her ticket to go to the next round, but I just think they probably gave it to her because they didn’t want to see placenta, blood and mucous all over the floor – Ewwww!!! She’s taken away and has her second baby boy.

What does she name him you ask? Jamil Labarron Idol McCowan :-\ I sure hope she becomes famous and gets paid singing… because she just royally set her son up with that God awful name. When are people gonna learn that the children have to eventually grow up… and get jobs??!! Maybe he can be an NBA player or something. I will not comment on that plastic hair of hers.

$$$ + No Taste = Ghetto Wedding of the Decade

Apparently they’ve got niggas… ghetto, tacky-ass niggas across the pond over in the United Kingdom. I found this story on another one of my favorite blogs, dlisted. This YouTube clip is from Britain’s Youngest Brides and it’s just… just… as Black Rob would say... WHOA! You should NEVER have to be STUFFED into a limousine on your wedding day… and peep how the children and teenaged girls are dressed. These are probably some of Amy Winehouse’s ghetto ass cousins :-\ If this ain’t like some Southside Chicago hood shit, I don’t know what is!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I feel like a little kid when I used to read Highlights. You know you read it too!!! Remember the What’s Wrong With This Picture section? What’s wrong with this wedding???

Another Episode of "Dumb Ass Lyrics"

It’s ironic that Black Eyed Peas’ frontman Will.i.am was a writer on Nas’ song “Hip Hop is Dead” when he continues to write idiotic songs that are killing hip hop softly. His newest song that has hit the airwaves is “I Got It From My Mama”…

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Damn you Will.i.am… damn you! He’s making us suffer through part two of “My Humps.” Why… why… why??? Here’s the BMI listing of nine pages of Will’s songs. He’s been a part of some pretty good things, including John Legend’s “Ordinary People” (as simple as it is), but as you browse each page, you’ll come across some of the dumbest damn songs to ever be recorded :-\

Will.i.am, you are one of the people who are ultimately responsible for Hip Hop being DEAD. Booooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

I Hope Angel Iris' Future Ain't A Stripper Pole... or Rehab!

Celebrities owe us no explanation about why they do the shit they do. But in order to keep you a consumer, supporting their projects, they often have to address their missteps. Up until today, Eddie Murphy’s publicist, Arnold Robinson, told media outlets over and over again that they do not address or talk about Eddie’s private life. In a perfect world, this should just be okay. But with Eddie under heavy scrutiny for simply not acknowledging his daughter with Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown after DNA tests proved that he was indeed little Angel’s father, Melanie hiring pit bull attorney, Gloria Allred and the very public lunch with Melanie and Eddie’s ex-wife Nicole, donkey (as Fresh over at C&D loves to call Eddie) finally had to take the rap.

It’s bad enough that there are men who truly can’t afford to pay child support avoiding their children and baby mommas, but when men who have an abundance of money and time do it, it’s just damn despicable.

Once the DNA results were in, Eddie should have had his ass in the nursery holding baby spice immediately. It should not have taken Melanie hiring Gloria Allred, a public press conference from Mel stating that she is filing a paternity suit, and a lunch with Eddie’s ex wife to get him to acknowledge his child… THAT IS SOME NIGGA SHIT EDDIE! The child was born in April, test results came back in June... it is now AUGUST!

Instead, he’s been spending his time going to Hollywood premieres and making appearances on red carpets with newly announced fiancée Tracey Edmonds. He has time to hang out with Tracey and get engaged, but not make effort to meet a child that he’s partly responsible for bringing into the world. You know, I have to correct my earlier statement, that’s not just some NIGGA SHIT… THAT’S SOME PROJECT, DIRTY HOOD NIGGA SHIT.

Good luck Melanie. We know the child will be financially cared for, but I hope she grows up to be an emotionally sound young lady.

Boooooo Eddie!

Lindsay and Britney… Nigga Shout Outs

Ja Rule and Lil Wayne only get one line out of me because I truly believe those two dumb asses were arrested just hours apart from each other on Sunday in New York as a total publicity stunt for the new single that they just released. Now for the real ish…

Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears both come from modest means. As a result of their successful acting and singing careers, they both have mountains of money and too much time on their hands. Youth, gobs of cash, an abundance of free time and bad choices will just about get anyone in trouble… just ask a rapper or athlete. Lindsay and Britney have shown us all that they too can be NIGGAS. "But they’re white," you say. Of course they’re white, but did you read the disclaimer on this site? These two have been acting out in ignorance and carrying themselves with ignorance for a bit now… so it’s high time I get at my white girls.

Lindsay was caught AGAIN driving under the influence and with cocaine in her pocket. In true nigga crackhead fashion, she has released a statement saying that the cocaine is not hers. We believe you Lindsay ;-\ Be smart Linds. Next time let one of your girls in the entourage hold your coke… you know, like a designated weed-carrier. Never have it on your person!

Britney on the other hand, woo hoo hoo… she just showed her entire ass over at her OK! Magazine shoot last week. She started off the day by showing up 45 minutes late (you know, like niggas do) and Instead of taking off the designer dress she was wearing before eating her lunch, she ate her fried chicken while still wearing the dress. I guess wet ones weren’t available, so Brit decided to wipe the grease off of her fingers using the front and back of the dress! If that’s not bad enough, she allowed her puppy to take a dump on another designer gown worth thousands and after taking only four test shots – they never got around to actually taking pictures – she decided she wanted to roll out. With her behavior, I’m sure the photographer and remaining magazine staff would have been fine with her breaking out… but in true nigga sticky fingaz fashion, Britney decided to take a “Vera Wang dress, Lanvin heels, a Pucci headscarf, a diamond cougar ring, a diamond poison ring, and a gold bangle.” OK!’s society editor, Jennifer Birn reported to Access Hollywood that the borrowed items were worth about sixteen grand… damn Britney!

Thank you Lindsay and Britney for representing for the light-skinned NIGGAS this week… the dark-skinned ones always getting in trouble was starting to bore me :-)

Was it T.I. or T.I.P.?

When you’re a gangsta, you have your image to uphold. I understand that. But as I have said before, when you roll with an entourage, it should be somebody’s job in the pack to be the designated GOON (omG, I like totally like just made this up but – GOON: get outta order nigga). When you’re a rapper, you more than likely have two or three. You know the guys I’m talking ‘bout… the dudes who crack the head of anybody that – well, you know… gets outta order.

In exchange for not having a real job, these guys roll with Rapper A everywhere… on tour, award shows, parties, community events… the public restroom. They get the groupie leftovers, a small salary (or large depending on the artist) and they get to eat for free. What a life right??? It’s a great alternative to working at the local Kinko’s or Burger King. So say Rapper A and their crew are walking by and some dude tries to snatch his chain – you know, the one with the damn diamonds on it. At that exact point, the Goon(s) jump into action and beats him senseless. Why? Cuz that’s just what they do. Goons have the understanding that if the situation gets really crunk and officials become involved, they take the fall… and Rapper A walks away unscathed. In exchange, Rapper A is supposed to make sure Goon gets money for commissary while in the pen and Goon’s family is taken care of.

Okay so now that we have that all set up… here’s he video that popped up on YouTube of security having to hold T.I.P. back :-\ after someone in the audience allegedly threw a cup (not bullets or bricks or rocks… but a cup) on the stage:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now… (In the voice of Bernie Mack) Why in the f*ck would T.I.P. – because I know T.I. has better sense – jump his five foot, six inch, one hundred twenty pound frame off of a perfectly good stage for that? Point him out to your Goon… let Goon either alert security or personally deal with the situation. Did he forget about the Akon incident with picking a boy up and tossing him off the stage because he threw something?! (btw… can we all have a discussion on why Akon even has a career as a SINGER???... sorry, back on topic)

Do you think this is T.I.P.’s desperate attempt to go back to jail… build some more street cred? Its bad enough that he got into a fight with Ludacris’ manager, Chaka Zulu, preceding the BET Awards (which he later apologized for during his acceptance speech on the show), but now this leading up to the ESPYs?! He seems like that cousin that WE ALL have – the one you can’t take anywhere because he’s always getting into it with just about everybody. Maybe he shouldn’t be invited to award show parties (pre or post).

T.I. is a father. Shouldn’t he be setting a good example for his kids? I know he’s done so in the past with his community involvement in the city of Atlanta and other projects where he’s donated his money and time… but damn it T.I.P.! Are we gonna have to banish you NIGGAland??? Go sit down and chill out!

Is He Still Out?

Once or twice a year, Suge Knight will raise his ugly head and end up getting media coverage. Although I already know the answer to the question I’m about to pose, I’ll just put it out there for the sake of conversation: Who the hell invites this guy to parties anyway???

Answer: Nobody. Suge invites himself.

I’ve personally seen it happen. No passes, no tickets, no name on the guest list… but Suge and his boys will punk door security, walk right in and DARE a muhphucka to say something to them. Now that right there is called intimidation! This dude is just bad news all the way around and I wish they could find something on him to keep his ass in jail for eternity. By the way, isn’t he on his sixth strike? California needs to stop playing around and put his ass back in the pen on D BLOCK.

I know poor little Kevin Connolly (Eric or “E” from HBO’s Entourage) wishes Suge’s big ass was in jail last week instead of being at the after party for the ESPY Awards. According to the New York Daily News’ Ben Widdicombe, partygoers saw Suge and Kevin “playfully wrestling” with each other and in the midst of this, Suge takes a bite out of Kevin’s finger. WTF?! A witness said that Kevin was “bleeding everywhere,” but he reportedly played it cool, acting as if it was okay that a six hundred pound psychopath just took a bite out of his hand.

Wow, this guy gets props for handling the situation with a cool head… or maybe he was in shock! I know one thing, you would have to look far and wide to find a black dude that would have been messing around, wrestling with Suge’s ignorant ass in the first place. I can just picture it now…

Suge: Hey pahtna, wanna wrestle?

Black Dude #1: (making the sound of a cell phone ring with his mouth) Who me? Uhh nah man, damn… I would, but I just got a call.

-Black Dude #1 hastily makes his way to the emergency exit

-----

Next, Suge approaches Black Dude #2

Suge: Sup nigga, wanna wrestle?

Black Dude #2: (pretending to hear an announcement off in the distance) Did I just hear them say they got chicken at the table???

-Black Dude #2 runs for his life

-----

Suge approaches the Black Dude #3, who was just standing next to Black Dude #2…

Suge: Yo nigga, let’s wrestle.

Black Dude #3: (whipping his sunshades out of his pocket and onto his face) Man, I used to wrestle all the time until a freak accident left me blind in both eyes. Sorry man.

-Black Dude #3 stumbles away with his hands out in front of him pretending to feel his way through the crowd

-----

This shit would continue to go on until there were no more black people left in the spot… just white people, because they’re always oblivious to danger lurking in the shadows.

Come to think of it, that’s probably how Kevin got caught up!

And even more proof this NIGGA doesn’t know how to conduct himself around human beings and just have a good time… check him out in this video from a party:

Ooooo Ookie… the Feds Got Your Ass Now!

I’m not gonna sit here and tell you that if I was a multi-millionaire I wouldn’t do a few crazy things here and there, but dammit, I would hire a designated driver… a weed carrier… gun toter… whatever I needed to do to keep my name off the police radar and out of the public eye – at least in negative instances. Besides… isn’t that what the whole idea of having an entourage with you at all times is for anyway? What good are these hang-er on-er guys if they can’t catch a case for you every now and again? Ask Diddy.

Michael Vick, aka Ookie, is the latest athlete who can’t seem to shake the nigga blues. As I’m sure you’ve heard by now, he’s been federally indicted for funding and actively participating in illegal dog fights under the business name Bad Newz Kennels. Not only is he charged with dog fights, BUT, they have witnesses and evidence from the search of his property in Smithfield, Virginia (yes, the same place where they can smoke a good ham!).

Again, as with Pacman Jones, will you please repeat after me… THEY SHOULDA NEVER GAVE THAT NIGGA MONEY!!!

Why in your herpes tainted mind, Michael Vick, would you risk your $13M a year NFL money on bullshit like dog fighting? It astounds me the idiocy of some of these guys.

So the dog fighting is just the tip of the iceberg. There are charges that dogs were “put to death by drowning, hanging, gunshot, electrocution, or another method.” WTF??? A witness even reports that they saw a dog killed by “slamming” it’s body to the ground!

I'm no PETA activist or even a huge fan of pets in general, but that is just ridiculous and shows a total lack of compassion for another living thing.

Other NFL players who still like to dabble in playing the nigga game are:

Ex Pittsburgh Steeler Richard Siegler: This fool was released from the Steelers this year because his name turned up in an investigation in his home-town, Las Vegas, for being a pimp… yes, dammit you read right… P I M P. Click here for video of the story.

Or what about Chris Henry of the Cincinnati Bengals? He’s been suspended from the Bengals for a plethora of legal troubles, including pulling a gun during a fight, driving under the influence, weed possession, etc. And as of June of this year, he's under investigation for assaulting a 16 year old boy! Even if he never touched this kid, the situation doesn’t make him look good and he should be avoiding any and everything that casts him in a bad light considering he could easily be working at the car wash next season instead of playing in the NFL.

BLACK PEOPLE… we need to start a tribunal. We have to start calling these niggas to the stand and snatching their “I’m black” cards. Can I get some suggestions on who can sit as jurist? Because I’m sick of the Al Sharpton’s, Jesse Jackson’s and Russell Simmons’ of the world speaking in the media on our behalf as if they represent ALL black people.

I nominate Cornel West

Can you think of someone better?

If you are blessed with a talent that can net you millions of dollars a year, why can you NOT leave the ghetto mentality in your past and just DO BETTER? Oh yeah... honorable NIGGA MENTION and shouts out to white boy, Jared Allen of the Kansas City Chiefs on his two DUI cases. (Big Sigh)

Don't look at my face... look at my TATS & CHAINS

When I have time, I peruse some of my favorite black gossip blogs. Today I was on Crunk & Disorderly and ran into this XXL Magazine cover. When might it occur to you that you have TOO MANY DAMN TATS?! Do you think Baby and Wayne got these Prison Break floorplan drawings on their bodies to distract from their not-so-handsome faces??? And I'm just gonna go ahead and start it right here... two (2) chain maximum. All those chains are unnecessary! We get it... we get it... you're a RICH Nigga :-\

Remy, Remy, Remy… (deep SIGH)

When the news broke over the weekend that Remy Ma was wanted on suspicion of attempted murder, I held back on posting about it because I wanted to wait until more details were made available. But now that the victim, 23 year old Makeda Barnes-Joseph, is talking to police and reporters, this is sounding like one of Dave’s segments of “When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong.”

According to Makeda, Remy shot her, reached past her to grab her purse, then proceeded to dump the contents of the purse out in the car in an effort to find $3,000 she accused Makeda of stealing from her earlier while she was holding purses for Remy and the rest of the girls at New York’s Pizza Bar.

After allegedly shooting Makeda, Remy jumps into her Escalade and rolls out… allegedly leaving her there to bleed to death. BUT… our girl Rem-Dawg, I guess realized she wasn’t really gully and thought to herself, "like OMG, like, I just shot my homie," and pulled a white woman falling in the woods while being chased by a serial killer move and crashed the damn Lade just two blocks from the shooting scene.

I know the music business can be tough on artists, especially rappers, but a missing $3,000 is not a good reason to shoot your friend. She could have just pulled a Naomi Campbell and hit the chick in the head with a phone or something… DAMN! Now she has court dates and jail to look forward to all over three grand??? That’s just damn stupid!

After being released on $250,000 bond, that the New York Daily News says her manager gave after putting up his house for collateral, Remy is free to contemplate her defense strategy and how she’s going to spin this thing to make her not look so bad. Her attorney, Scott Leemon, says we shouldn’t jump to any conclusions saying that things are “not always what they seem.” Well Scott, it seems like your client is a dumb-ass and you have your work cut out for you – seeing that the victim lived to tell the story and all!

_____________________________________________________________ On a comical note to all this, Makeda’s father, Boris Barnes, talked to reporters and told them that Remy “meant to kill” Makeda because she was "jealous" of his daughter’s "looks." I found a picture of Makeda over at Young Black & Fabulous… you be the judge:

And the Ignorant Nigga Coon award for the week ending July 14th 2007 goes to:

Freekey Zekey’s new video for “Like This”

Apparently Asylum Records, the same label that houses Cam’Ron and a bunch of other talent challenged rappers, thought it was a good idea to front Freekey Zekey money to make an album – and unfortunately for us black people, a video. I guess they figured there was room in the world for another ignorance laden video.

At first I wasn’t going to post about Zeke because there are more well-known, mainstream rappers that ooze ignorance. I figured Zeke is just putting out what he thinks will give him street cred… respect. Fuck that! This video is just damn stupid… and I’ll address the other rappers in due time.

Besides, I was speaking with a friend via IM tonight and she expressed to me that she is fed up with rappers making songs only about money/strippers/cars. There are no strippers in this video, but money (at least Zeke wants you to think he’s got $$) and cars are topics… as well as his criminal prowess. WHATEVER!

So Zeke starts out with:

I’m a stone cold criminal…

Blah blah blah…

(Chorus [repeated several times thoughout])

Who else but them niggas they call the Dips

Surfin the city in that big five or the six

When the niggas talk shit

We throw the barrel to the hips

Oh baby

You never seen a nigga like this

Now I did shows all around the globe

Bitches on the dick ‘cause of the cars I drove

I’m in the mix, God forbid I get hit

But I guarantee you’ll never meet a nigga like this

Sorry boys, but there are indeed niggas like you on many street corners in many cities across America. Nothing real special or different about you or the nonsense you’re portraying in your video. Do some Chris Gardner (“Pursuit of Happyness”) shit and make stacks from the stock market or corporate America.

By the way, why are there NO women in the video? Maybe I should be happy about that, because if they were, they probably would have been scarcely clothed and shaking their asses for the camera.

What’s with the rapping and dancing bare-chested next to his boy/mans-n-‘em whatever you wanna call him?

Why is he sprawled across the roof of the car (while its in motion) like he’s on a model shoot for “Playgirl”?

At the end of the video, he’s holding up the Dipset charm & chain and a watch. Yeah, yeah Zeke, we see you have a few trinkets, but do you own property anywhere? Do you even own the truck in the beginning of the video or the car that you’re joyriding in like a teenager on prom night… hanging out the sunroof and passenger window???

And finally, what’s with the “Suck a dick, suck a dick, suck a dick, suck a dick… bitch!” at the end? The people watching the video are people you want to go and legally download from the ‘net or buy your music at a retailer… but you’re telling us to “suck a dick.” Brilliant!

Cool track, too bad it’s wasted on this bullshit. This song and video isn’t even mediocre… it’s just POINTLESS!
