Random Shit

Kimora Simmons, Russell’s wifey, copped a plea in her marijuana posession/wreckless driving case.

Kim did a little better in court this month, now Cease can’t release his DVD The Chronicles of Junior M.A.F.I.A. Part II: Reloaded.

Pharrell tops Esquires Best dressed list. No homo, but I don’t know how they figure that, everytime I see this nigga he’s wearing a t-shirt.

A rape case against Snoop was dropped like its hot.  

I hear Game wants to come out with a whole line of G-Unot clothing.

There’s a funny rumor that Mase may be signing to G-Unit. Don’t even get me started on that one… 

And while we’re talking about G-Unit, let’s talk about this rumor that 50 was crying on stage at the AM3 concert the other night. An item over on SOHH claims that 50  was ‘visibly dissapointed’ by the crowd reaction and even grew teary eyed as he complained about it to the audience.  Now, granted me and Ves were in the fucking nosebleeds, and we were Heiney and Dro’d out, but I don’t know about your man getting teary eyed, as much as I would love to co-sign that.  And it seemed to me like there was plenty of crowd participation, even with all the G-Unot’s that were yelled… but hey, I’ve been wrong before…

Review: Anger Management 3 at MSG

I tried writing this last night when I got back, but the Heineken and ‘dro had other plans for me, so here goes the sober version. Last night Em and 50, along with pretty much the whole Shady/Aftermath/G-Unit roster, did the second of 2 shows at Madison Square Garden in NYC. You already know my opinion of 50 and some his recent behavior, but I’m gonna put that aside for a minute and break it down for ya’ll.

These niggas tore that arena down! Me and Ves got there at the perfect time because luckily we just missed the Lil John and Ying Yang Twins perfomance and there was a short intermission before 50 came out. We grabbed some Heniekens, posted up at our seats and blazed a blunt. (On a side note, let me just say that being at a show and having someone say to you "your in my seat", is not Hip Hop.) Anyway, 50 comes out and does a couple solo joints that I don’t remember, and right away brings out Banks and Buck, I guess to let everybody know that they were out of jail. Buck did some song I never heard in my life but that most of the crowd sang along to. Banks did a couple of joints from his album, but for whatever reason felt like he didn’t have to do "I’m so Fly". Bad move. 50 came out and did "P.I.M.P" in an all white suit with Yayo who had an all black suit. That shit was all good and everything, but then these niggas start doing Yayo’s new joint, you know the one where sings and shit. Me and Ves fucking died laughing man, them niggas really looked like the fucking 5 Heartbeats on stage singing in suits and shit. Yayo looked like he was about 60 years old, that nigga should stick to G-Unit T’s for real.

Next was Mobb Deep and they set it off with "Twisted", which the crowd was loving but I never really liked that song too much so I was like eh, whatever.  They did some other shit they had no business doing, then fucking tore it down with "Quiet Storm", whithout Lil Kim’s verse for obvious reasons. I decided I can’t fucking stand that "Outta Control" shit they got with 50. Pure garbage.

I shouldn’t even have to tell you that M.O.P. fucking tore the roof off when they did "Ante Up", that goes without saying. I really don’t even remember what else they did to tell you the truth. Olivia came out looking like a man and did some shit with G-Unit I don’t think I ever heard. I could be wrong, but I swear that before she came on stage 50 was like yo "my nigga is about to come out here right now". Hank heard it to so I know I ain’t crazy.

50 did "Piggy Bank" and showed the video. I decided that that song is fucking garbage. Besides the fact that the disses are weak, it’s just not a good song. He also did "I Run NY", which I decided is an aight song, even though the disses are weak in that too. He started talking shit and told the crowd to scream "G-Unit!" if you fuck with him, or "G-Unot!" if you don’t. I was dying, cuz mad people yelled G-Unot, which I wasn’t expecting in a room full of 50 Cent Stan’s. After they yelled it 50 told them, "Good now go make me richer and buy Game’s album!"

D12 was there and they did a few joints, so it was time for a bathroom break. That’s fucked up too man, cuz them niggas really can rap, it’s just that nobody really wants to here them. They did come back out with Em later and tore down "How Come", I’ll give them that.

Which brings us to the Em perfomance. First off let me say there I haven’t seen so many white people in one place since fucking Woodstock. And they weren’t just there for Em either, cuz they knew all of 50′s lyrics like a motherfucker. So anyway you can imagine how that place started fucking shaking when Em stepped on stage. I’ve been to a few concerts in my time, and I never saw a reaction for an artist like that. It was bananas. Em did mostly new joints like Mockingbird, Mosh, and Ass like that. I’ll say this, that boy knows how to perform. His delivery and breath control are crazy, you can here every word clearly like he was 10 feet in front of you. He brought D12 back out like I said, and fucking Stat Quo. Stat Quo is fucking garbage.  

All in all, the show was hot, and I had probably the second or 3rd best time I’ve ever had at a show. I’ll give it to 50, he has definitley stepped his show game up since Summer Jam two years ago. That was when I started hating him, ‘cuz his performance was garbage and then he had the nerve to talk shit to the crowd and get all mad at us like it’s our fault he coudn’t perform. Fuck outta here.

So there you have it, I just saved you 90 bucks, you motherfuckers should be thanking me.  

Beanie Sigel released from Jail

Tuesday, August 9th, 2005

 BeansJail.jpg

Yo, there’s alot of fucking jail news today, and it’s ill ‘cuz I just got the XXL Jail issue in the mail yesterday….2 months late! I’m gonna lay low for the next few days in case the Big Guy is trying to warn me of somthing, nahimean. So anyhow, Beanie Sigel was released from the Fairton Federal Correctional facilitie in NJ this morning, and shit man, it sounds like Dame realy held your boy down:

From MTV News: 

The MC was welcomed in true Dame Dash style. Dash presented Sigel with a DVD copy of "State Property 2" (Sig never saw the film in which he starred), some State Property clothes and a pair of sneakers from Sigel’s State Property shoe line, which operates under the Pro Keds umbrella. He had a sleek black tour bus ready to take Beans from Jersey to his home in Philly. And a plethora of Beanie Sigel posters were taped to telephone poles and walls for at least two miles on the road leading out of the prison.

 

So now Beans finally gets to promote his album, The B.Coming, which if you don’t know, was one of the hottest joints of the year.  

Who let this nigga behind the wheel

It seems like just the other day DMX was being asked about his driving record, and if he still drives anyway, and believe it or not, he got a little defensive. Well yesterday Earl got  pulled over for like the 10 millionth time, and this time it may mean a year in lockup. By getting pulled over, X violated the deal he made with the DA last year after re-enacting Never Die Alone at Kennedy airport, so now he could spend a year in jail on the charges. He’res what the judge had to say:

"His subsequent actions not only exhibit contempt for the legal system but recklessly endangered the public as well. The lesson the defendant should now learn is that everyone must be held accountable for their actions and that being a celebrity does not put one above the law."

That guy’s goin in.

Kay Slay is stepping his game up with his own show on Sirius Shade 45 satellite radio.

There was a rumor going around that Papoose got stabbed in the studio. It’s bullshit. But he will have a joint on the upcoming Madden 2006 game from EA Sports.  

A Jay-Z and Beyonce sex tape? Only 2 minutes long? The 60 second assassin….!

Adidas buys Reebok? Does this mean we’ll see some G-Unit Shell Toe Pumps? 

Beanie Sigel is getting out of jail next tuesday August 9th. He was supposed to get out on the 4th, but some dude called him a snitch and Beans punched him in the face. It’s good to see that after 10 months in the joint he’s a changed man.

In other Beanie related news, the Philly MC has donated money to boost the reward for information related to a missing Philadelphia woman named Latoyia Figueroa. Let me just say that this whole situation is some bullshit. This black girl disappears in fucking Philly and you hardly hear a thing about it. Some little white girl creeps off with some dudes in Aruba and gets herself killed, and its all over the fucking news for weeks. I mean motherfuckers are flying down to Aruba to help find this chick. Why cuz she’s white? What about Reyna Alvarado-Carerra, a hispanic girl who went missing a couple of weeks before the chick in Aruba? Never heard of her either huh? I wonder why? I’m just saying, it’s not that I want to see anybody get kidnapped or killed, but why the difference in coverage from the media? That’s some bullshit right there.

 

Jay feeling that Kanye and Nas

Friday, August 5th, 2005

So Kanye had a listening party for late Registration the other night, and the word is the album is fucking out of control. But the track everybody’s talking about is "We Major" which features the little homey Nas. Supposedly when Kanye recently played the track for Jay, he wild out and started freestyling over it. I heard that he didn’t play the whole track at the listening session either, so wouldn’t it be nuts if the last verse was from Hov? Hey stranger things have happened. Keep in mind that Nas recently showed love for Jay at a performance for the Rock The Bells concert in LA. He reportedly performed Ether without the second verse ripping Jay, and even told the DJ not to play the ‘fuck Jay-Z’ part at the beginning, instead replacing it with ‘fuck 50′.

50′s Book and Piggy Bank Video

Thursday, August 4th, 2005

This fucking guy is everyhere.  He’s got movies, video games, watches, fucking vitamin water, and now a book.  From Pieces to Weight : Once Upon a time in Southside Queens, 50′s autobiography, hits stores on August 8th. I’m not the biggest supporter of Curtis ‘Interscope’ Jackson right now, but I can’t lie, I’d probably read this shit. The same way I’ll probably download pay to see his movie. Wink wink.

In other 50 news,  you may have heard that he’s re-releasing his album, The Massacre, with some new joints and 21 music videos, one for each song. Well over at VH1 they have some info on the Piggy Bank video:

The video is animated and starts with three boys walking down "Beaver Street" when one of them stops at an arcade. The kid is infatuated with a game called "Rapper Knockout," which stars 50 Cent as a ring king beating opponents to a pulp. The video then takes a look inside the video game as 50 squares off against Fat Joe. The animated Joe is afraid to go the ring at first, and gets pummeled when he finally enters.

The same fate holds true for an animated Jadakiss, which Fif imagines dressed up like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle — complete with Raphael’s red mask and a slice of pizza — wearing a belt with a buckle that says "Jada."

Later, 50 depicts Game as a Mr. Potato Head doll with a "Wankster" headband and Cassidy as a young kid wearing a pink hoodie with "I’m a Hustla" embroidered on it. Cass gets punched in the stomach by two kids. In a separate scene, another kid is seen wearing Superman’s tights and cape while running down the street. Instead of the Man of Steel’s S, he has a red logo of Nas’ name on his chest and is chasing a "Milkshake" truck before jumping at the vehicle and falling flat on his face.

 

That Curtis, always full of jokes… 

Update: Here are some screenshots from the Video, the Game pic is priceless.

No more Chappelle Show?

It looks like there may not be anymore Chapelle show. Ever. Charlie Murphy, famous for his Rick James skit, recently told the NY Post that the show probably will not have a 3rd season. There was all sorts of speculation about the future of the show last April when Dave crept off to Africa for a ‘spritual retreat’, and now it looks like the worst case scenario is happening. Damn Dave suck it up brother and do a fucking 3rd season. We know you got a like a billion dollar advance so I don’t know what the problem is.  Murphy did say that they had shot a few shows for the 3rd season already so at least maybe we’ll get to see those. Nah Right…

LOX going to Def Jam?

Tuesday, August 2nd, 2005

LOXjpg.jpg 

I’m not saying it’s true, all I’m saying is there’s a story over in the Allhiphop Rumors section saying that Jay-Z is not just trying to sign Kiss, but the whole LOX. As a matter of fact, it says they’re already on their way to Def Jam as we speak. Discuss.
