An album featuring Eminem and 50 Cent is in stores and it’s not #1 on the charts? The end is nigh.  

Check out Jay’s interview with Barbara Walters for her 10 Most Fascinating People special here.

I have to applaud Def Jam for the way they spinned this potential Jeezy/Nas shitstorm into a lovefest.  

What’s better than Wayne and Baby being on the cover of Ozone’s Sex Issue.

The New York Daily News and the New Jersey State Troopers Fraternal Association have their tits in a twist over a building at CCNY that is named after Guillermo Morales and Assata Shakur aka Joanne Chesimard. The prick from the police group goes so far as to compare Assata to the 9/11 terrorists:

"She’s a cowardly, cold-blooded convicted murderer who’s part of a murdering sect," he said. "She’s no different from those people who flew those planes into those towers and destroyed all those innocent lives."

Those of us familiar with the enviornment and time period during which Assata’s alleged ‘crime’ unfolded know the real story. Shame on the Daily News for its pandering to the corrupt law enforcement establishment and its blatant display of biased, subjective journalism.

Foxy, who pled guilty to smacking around two Asian women, fears for her safety while waiting around with the riff raff to see her PO. I wonder how she’d feel knocking out 60 days on Rikers.
