J-Hood Loses House in Fire
I was reading this story about this fire in Yonkers (which is Nah Right Headquarters in case you don’t know), and I thought the name Joshua Hood sounded familiar. Well, my boy called me earlier to confirm that it was in fact J-Hood of D-Block whose house burned down. The fire apparently started when Hood’s moms left some pine tree leaves and shavings on their stove and they caught fire. Although she was responsible for the fire, the rappers mother later turned out to be the hero of the night when she ran back into the burning building and helped remove one of their neighbors kids. In all, 8 families lost their homes, but luckily nobody was seriously hurt. I’d like to send best wishes out to Hood, his moms, and everybody else who was affected, hopefully they can all get back on their feet as soon as possible.
Go here to watch Hood being interviewed by CBS.

Jada and the rest of the LOX, still got their Only artist living in a broken down apartment, come on thats Sad.
Hopefully everything works out for him and his mom.

Well, for what it’s worth, this guy might be the absolute worst of the so-called mixtape rappers.

Only artist? D-Block has more artists then The LOX and J-Hood. There’s 354 and Team Arliss.
Hope those families can make it through. And when “Tales from the Hood” drops, J-Hood’s taking over.

J-Hood has very small hands.

Nothing worse than getting burned out of your home. Take my advice, get renters insurance (if you dont own your home) It will cost you less than $300 a year and you will have over 30,000 dollars worth of coverage for lost goods from fire, theft, vandalism, you name it.
Glad to hear nobody was hurt, RIP to people mentioned by LouBANG5.

Man I been at work all day, but I gotta give it up, you killed it with this one.
January 13th, 2006 at 1:58 am
Also, Jae Hood is far from the worst of the mixtape rappers. But that is fucked up he still lives in the hood, with his moms no less.
January 13th, 2006 at 9:05 am

“One tenant — 48-year-old Barbara Hood - told the Journal News that she collected Christmas tree pine shavings and cones to boil for what she called a spiritual bath. She left them on her stove, and they caught fire.”

I feel sorry 4 him. I Hope Jada put J in sheeks spot. Sheek is a fuckin’ BUM!
I Heard his freestyle “50 Cent Gotta Die 2Night” He said “Basically what I’m sayin’ lil nigga iz U a bitch, and u would’nt bust a bubble if u was washin’ a dish” It was cool but not COOL ENOUGH! DROP A ALBUM AND STOP WAITIN’ ON SHEEK! GET CHA WEIGHT UP!
January 13th, 2006 at 2:04 pm

January 22nd, 2006 at 9:49 pm
LOL @ y’all. Y”all must not know too much about the music business. Most rappers that you see in these expensive ass videos is broke as fuck. I mean the average transit worker bring shome more a year then the average Gold artist. J-Hood doesn’t even have a single video out, let alone an album and y’all expect him out of the hood. Delusional.
January 27th, 2006 at 10:22 am

You know D-block got you, and once that Tales from the Hood drop its a wrap, the game is took’n. Also drop another mixtape on that fagget ass 50 cent with his twisted ass grill, D-block 24/7 never gone stop.

[Tyoung]
I keep them hammers in my pocket, catch shots to ya nose,
ya man young keep four burners like the top of the stove,
I’m furture D-Block niggah respect my rhymes, or get fucked up,
the gage is long enough for Yao Ming to use it for a crouch,
Them Gay-Unit Bastard ain’t hitting on nothing,
when they riding on a skate board is the only time they grinding and stunting,
me I keep it real, you gotta problem, I spark a steel,
send ya fronts out ya grill, and disrupt ya handsome appeal,
so gay-unit, you better duck when them hallos squirt,
ya man young in the hood with more stripes than a collar shirt, get at me
ayyo hood keep ya head up,

April 8th, 2006 at 2:30 pm
word son. this cat holds it down for the underground mixtapes. he was taking care of his mom and peeps gotta hate on a nigga. barbara hood should stop cooking with pine needles. I think Joshua Hood is one of the least hood names. Jae Hood on the other hand has a nice ring to it. hopefully they aren’t tryin to get that insurance paper, but if they are thats pretty gangsta. D-BLOCK 2 guns up…all them hard niggas they come from YONKERS u could get snuffed in the grill

It aint a grilled cheese when u see the toast in my lap im like a pair of new airwaves nigga i stay strapped!!! Maybe its becuase everythin hood spits iz fire and he was probably spittin so much fire tryin to burn the whole gunit down that the fire was so hot that it accidently caught his crib. i dunno thats my theory! Yo Hood keep rippin these lil faggits up man!! Wut the fuck iz gunit anymore man, i aint heard shitt for months except banks is gang green wack!! U got ganggreen on ya dick banks!!!! I rob Lloyd’s Bank!! Van City’s holdin u down hood!! DEEEEEEEEEEEEEE BLLLLLLLLLOCK!!!!!

[...] Take into consideration that this only his side of the story, but it actually makes sense. Although, I still don’t mind hearing Sheek talking greasy to him. I didn’t know he lost everything in this… that’s a damn shame. Dude’s had a rough ride, non of us can really judge him or this situation. It hasn’t been very easy for Joshua just yet. I remember people couldn’t comprehend and still don’t understand (Flex) how such a little dude could be rolling with The L.O.X. That speaks volumes for his skills and/or what he could have been if his project was handled properly. [...]

Im glad this nigga lost his house. He scammed a buch of other rappers. Karma’s a bitch little hood.
