Banger of the Day! Cam’Ron – “Motivation”

0

Harlem’s Cam’Ron has been low key for the majority of 2011.  In December he will be releasing the third installment of his Boss of Bosses mixtape series with DJ Drama and Harlem understudy Vado.  “Motivation” is produced by the originator of  the Dipset sound, Aarabmuzik.  Using his signature front-back-middle rhyme scheme, it’s evident that “Killa Cam” hasn’t lost a step.

Chris Brown Scoops Up $1.5 Mil Hollywood Hills Mansion

0

If these pics don’t make you want to jump up from wherever you’re sitting and grind harder so that you can get your piece of the American dream, then you might not be human! Blonde crooner, Chris Brown, just snagged himself a $1.5 Million bachelor pad in Hollywood Hills. Chris is now the proud owner of a 2,500 square ft. home complete with 2 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a split level living room, an italian crafted kitchen, 2-door garage and swimming pool. The home sits on top of a hill overlooking the streets of Hollywood, and seems to be a much better fit for the singer who’s still young and still likes to party. The 22 year old ditched his old West Hollywood condo due to lack of parking space and complaints from neighbors. Check out more pics from Chris’ new bachelor pad below!

Don’t Believe The Hype: President Obama Has Many First Term Successes!!!

President Obama Has Many First Term Successes
President Barack Obama

 

Author: Sylvia Burley

Ask any conservative political pundit or follower and they will tell you that President Obama has not been very successful since  being in office.  This is absolutely untrue as Obama has had many successes in his first term as President.

Not only is he successful, he has become so “in 22 months and in the face of the most hostile Congress any President has faced in modern history”, according to video journalist, writer and social media activist, T.A. Barnhart.

Barnhart has compiled a list of this Administration’s many historic accomplishments which include among other things: “saving the economy, health care reform, Matthew Shepherd & Lilly Ledbetter acts, START, CHIP, infrastructure, science & technology, student loans, children’s health and…the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, done the Obama way: via legislation, to remove all doubt of its legitimacy (as a Presidential Order would have failed to do).”

Yes, the economy is on the list because regardless of what you’ve heard, and although the economy is nowhere near being healthy, it’s a lot better than it was when millions of jobs were being lost under Bush’s watch.

According to Barnhart, “This president, who so many have given up on, has done more good for the nation than any president since FDR.”

Rihanna Collabs With Emporio Armani!!!

Rihanna in the Armani FW2011 ad campaign

Luxury brand Emporio Armani must have been so smitten with Rihanna during her stint as the face of their campaign that they’ve decided to team up with the pop star princess for a miniature capsule collection. Whats expected to be released from the  limited edition clothing line will feature two styles of jeans, t-shirts emblazoned with the likeness of Riri herself, and underwear. Rihanna is hands down one of the most formidable fashion icons alive right now. She has just the right amount of edge, style, class, and beauty to pull this off. Unlike many of the celebrity spawned clothing lines out there, Rihanna has a true appreciation for fashion and isn’t afraid to take risks without “drawing inspiration” from other designers (we’re looking at you Bey).  I can’t wait to see what kind of merchandise the two entities have in store for us. The collection will be released just in time for the holidays!

Jay-Z Gets Sculpted as a Scrooge!!!

0
99 problems but a protester aint 1

Looks like things aren’t going to blow over well for Jay-Z. Stemming off of the public disappointment from his “Occupy All Streets” scandal, a sculpture by the name of Daniel Edwards decided to immortalize Jay among some of the world’s most infamous 1%’ers. Jay joins the likes of Mr. Burns, Scrooge McDuck, and Richie Rich in a piece created by Edwards who was as outraged as the rest of us by none of the t-shirt proceeds going to any of the protesters.  Scrooge McJigga who was just named one of  GQ Magazine‘s ‘Men of the Year’, sports a dollar sign emblem around his neck and one mean mug. Aside from making a mockery of the rap mogul the sculpture is pretty dope. If nothing else it would make for a great conversational piece.  Tell us what you think.  Is this an accurate portrayal of Jigga Man?

Balling Out of Control!! Man Convicted of Making A Million Dollars in Bogus Money

0
Fake Money Maker (For Illustration Only)

A Georgia man just pleaded guilty to committing one of the oldest crimes on the books and that is counterfeiting 100.00 dollar bills. Vincent George of Atlanta will likely spend this holiday making license plates instead of bogus money if the courts have their way.

According to federal authorities, Over an approximately two-year period ending in August 2011, ROME created over $1.2 million in counterfeit $100 bills by removing the original image from genuine $5 bills using bleach or other commercial cleaners and solvents, and printing a new image bearing a $100 denomination on the genuine currency paper. ROME then sold the counterfeit currency to others in the Atlanta metropolitan area, which in turn passed the counterfeit currency in over ten states, primarily in the Southeast. During a search of ROME’s residence in August 2011, law enforcement recovered multiple bleaching trays, one of which contained $5 bills sitting in a commercial degreaser that were in the process of having the $5 images removed, multiple printers, dozens of bank wrappers used to wrap stacks of $5 bills, thousands in counterfeit $100 bills, and three firearms.  While the economy is already in dire straits, the last thing America needs is someone putting bogus money in the street that will further devalue the dollar. George is to be sentenced in February and will likely face a stiff penalty for his act.

Homecoming Kings!!! The Google+ Homecoming Tour!!!

0
Four the hardway

After fading quietly into the back-burner realm of social networks, Google+ is once again emerging to try and top the competitors. In an attempt to gain attention, Google+ has teamed up with four of the greatest court kings of the moment. Dwyane Wade, Lebron James, Carmelo Anthony, and Chris Paul will all star in the Google+ Homecoming Tour. The tour will make its way through each of the NBA stars’ hometown of Chicago, Akron, New York, and New Orleans (where each player originates from) and will host a series of basketball related and charitable community events featuring some of their NBA buddies.  The tour begins December 1st and if you want to check out all the games and behind the scenes action you’ll be able to do so on the Google+ homepage.

This is a good look for each of them. Except for Lebron who I’m still not sure if the city of Akron has ever forgiven him for him taking his talents to the south. Still, with no signs of the lockout ending basketball fans should enjoy the festivities.

Lets Get This Trending!!! Shawl-Collar Sweaters for Fall!!!

0
T.I. in a shawl collar sweater

When rapper T.I. was recently  spotted at Nelly’s birthday party in ATL wearing this, I knew he was on to something. Not only is the Kaaang well coordinated but he’s also the first celeb so far that I’ve spotted this season wearing what’s sure to be a major style hit.  The shawl-collar sweater is an alternative to the rigidness of a turtle-neck but still retains its purpose. The slightly exaggerated lapels of the collar can be worn up or down and is just barely draped around the neck without being too feminine.  Depending on how its styled, it can work for both casual daytime looks on to VIP friendly night spots of your choice.

Fellas take note at how Tip was able to layer it over a dress shirt and also work in a matching fitted. This is a trend that needs to get started ASAP!  For your convenience, I’ve done some internet browsing and found that some of our favorite designer labels are embracing the shawl collar as well.  Peep some of the items below and let us know what you think!

Lil Wayne Doesn’t Care About Drake’s Album Sales.. Says “We Rich as Sh!t”

0

Alrighty then, Wayne. In a recent interview with MTV’s Rap Fix, Lil Wayne suggests that because of all the dedication the Young Money camp put into Drake’s sophomore album, Take Care, that  first week sales don’t matter to him. “We expect to work very hard. We expect people to respect our hard work”, said Wayne. Wayne also stated “we rich as sh!t so numbers and record sales, that doesn’t matter to none of us. We just wanna get a perfect point across, a swell opinion across and if we get that done with the album, mission accomplished.”

Soulja Boy Gets a T-Shirt Line!!!

0
If he says so...

In news you may or may not care about (and I’m leaning towards the latter), southern-based rapper, Soulja Boy will be launching a line of t-shirts. Because the good Lord knows that’s exactly what we need more of… a B-rated celebrity hawking more over-priced crap to the masses that he probably won’t even wear himself. On second thought, he may just be the only fool to wear it. There’s still no word yet of what this collection will consist of. But if the above photo is any indication of what’s to be expected, then I’ll pass.

Kat Stacks’ cuddle buddy took to his twitter to release the news saying that “they want to place 1 of my shirts in about 600,000 stores.” The big question on my mind is who exactly are “they” and why do they hate the public so much that they would want to fill 600, 000 stores with junk?  Maybe the joke is on Soulja Boy? Maybe this anonymous “they” is an undercover storage facility company and they’re actually trying to protect us by never letting these shirts see the light of day. One can only hope.  What do you think? Will you be checking for “I AM SWAGG” shirts at your local retailer?

The Truth Shall Set You Free!!! 60 Yr Old Woman Comes Clean After Helping to Convict Innocent Men..

0
Penny Cameron

Ladies and gentlemen, we would like to introduce you to 60 year old Penny Cameron. Penny helped in the wrongful conviction of two men which would send them to prison for murder. Back in 1991, Penny lied on the stands when testifying against Carlos Morillo and José Garcia who were accused of being involved in the fatal shooting of a drug dealer outside her home in Bronx, NY.

Twenty years, one confession and a cancer diagnoses later, Penny reveals to the New York Post,  that she lied in an attempt to clear the name of her troubled 14 year old son.  By saving her son’s life she took away 14 years of Jose Garcia’s life who was released from prison in 2007 thanks to his girlfriend who was able to convince authorities, with government documentation, that he was in the Dominican Republic at the time of the shooting.

Unfortunately, Carlos Morillo was not as lucky.  After serving a full twenty years behind bars, Morillo who is now 49 was just released thanks to his lawyer Ramon Pagan and a sympathetic judge.  Pagan says that his client will pursue a lawsuit against the city.  Garcia’s lawyer was very vocal in his resentment for authorities in their sloppy handling of the case.

“Every day of my life, I thought about them. I was serving time with them,” the 60-year-old woman told The Post.  Feel free to collectively insert your *side-eyes* and “b*tch please” comments at will!

Over the years, an accumulation of guilt overcame Cameron combined with deteriorating health which led to post-traumatic-stress syndrome, two strokes, heart disease, diabetics and finally breast cancer, that has spread to her uterus.  What do you think? Is Penny Cameron finally getting the death sentence that she deserves for lying?
