QUOTE OF THE DAY



In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Jay-Z shot down the statement that Timbaland made to MTV about producing Jay's next CD in it's entirety.

“You know I love Timbaland, he is like a brother to me, but until the music is done it’s premature. I’m a person that works off music. If Timbaland makes 10 great tracks then he produces the album, if Kanye West makes 10 great tracks then he produces the album; if he makes three, I’ll take three. I let the music dictate the direction,” Jay said.

EXHIBIT # 743 IN THE PEOPLE VS RICK ROSS

Just in case you need a little more evidence that Mr. Roberts has been lying about being a corrections officer, I would like to present to the jury exhibit # 743. Mr. Robert's job application for the job as corrections officer for the state of Florida Corrections Department.

From The Smoking Gun...

In response to a TSG request, DoC officials released Ross’s 86-page personnel file, excerpts of which you’ll find on the following pages. The documents include Ross’s employment application (below), which notes that he was a 1994 graduate of Miami’s Carol City Senior High School and spent a year at Georgia’s Albany State College, where he studied Criminal Justice. On a personal history form he identifies Tommie Ann Roberts as his mother and Tawanda Roberts as his sister. Both women are prominently thanked in the liner notes to Ross’s 2008 album “Trilla.”



MONICA PREPS NEW REALITY TV SPECIAL

TERRANCE AND ROCSI MAKE IT OFFICIAL...THEY'RE BOTH GAY AS HELL!!!!

RICK ROSS SAYS DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE

Rick Ross AKA Officer William Roberts spoke with radio station Power 98.3 in Phoenix, Arizona this week. In the interview, Roberts addresses the issue that everybody has been talking about for the last two weeks and also tells that he and Foxy Brown are no longer an item.

When asked about the pictures that show him as a corrections officer, Roberts says "Competitors have to do what they have to do to eat. We making the best music. Y’all seen the BET Awards, y’all saw the magazine. We the biggest in the game, we the best in the game. Just keeping it real. And anytime somebody can attack my character, like I said, you get nothing from the Boss. I don’t give haters the pleasure.“

Here is my issue with this whole situation. If these pictures were fake or photoshopped or whatever, why doesn't he just sue Thesmokinggun.com. They are the ones who found out all of the information about his employment as a C.O. including his starting and ending pay, as well as his social security number. If the information is false, I think it would be an open and shut case.

Anyway, here is the video of William Roberts lying to the good people of the United States of America. Dude should consider a career in politics.

YOU DIDN'T BELIEVE IT DID YOU?!?!?!



I don't even want to waste my time talking about this, but I'm sure there was somebody out there who actually believed the recent rumor about Diddy and Cassie being engaged. I knew this one was some B.S. as soon as I read it yesterday. If Diddy didn't marry Kim Porter after she popped out them twins, why in the hell would he marry Cassie(Even though she is a SECKSAY young thang)

Cassie used her Myspace blog to shoot down rumors of a current engagement to Mr. Combs.


Another Day… Another Rumor

HEY! This blog is simply to clear up a rumor. The newest one is that I am engaged. That rumor is completely false and I have no clue how it came to be or why it got so big, but it’s not true, real talk. I am not engaged. Whether or not you’ve heard about it, thank you for your time :) Stay Blessed!

NEW VIDEO*RICK ROSS F/ TREY SONGZ - THIS IS THE LIFE

I know some folk want to hang Ross out of a window by his toenails due to his antics lately. Well, I say a hit record supercedes ALL previous employment history prior to getting signed to a deal. And this song is most DEFINITELY a hit. It's one of my favorites on the 'Trilla" CD and the video doesn't disappoint either.

Parker grabbed Pierson, tossed her to the ground, and all hell broke loose. Even assistant coach Rick Mahorn got involved in the brawl. While playing the role of peace maker, Mahorn pushed L.A.

GAME OVER!!!!!



Okay, so the boss has been exposed as a bold face liar. According to documents received by Thesmokinggun.com, Rick Ross was in fact a correctional officer in South Florida at one point in time. The documents show that Ross' claim of being the victim of a really good photoshop scheme were not true.


Ross (real name: William Leonard Roberts) was appointed a prison guard in December 1995 at a salary of $22,913.54, according to the below personnel record, which was provided to TSG by Jo Ellyn Rackleff, a DoC spokesperson. The rapper's social security number is identical to that of the jail guard. According to the official document, Ross was earning $25,794.34 when he left the department in June 1997. After graduating from the DoC training academy, Ross was assigned to the South Florida Reception Center in Dade County (the lockup is one of three statewide that serves as an intake facility for new prisoners).


Ross had originally stated that Trick Daddy was behind this, but I don't think trick is smart enough to pull of something like this.

Here is a look at the actual document that has been released.

SOMEBODY WANTS TO DESTROY RICK ROSS

Last week I showed yall the picture of Rick Ross in what appeared to be a corrections officer uniform. Ross came out and strongly denied the pics were authentic in the following statement:


"My life is 100 per cent real. These online hackers putting a picture of my face when I was a teenager in high school on other peoples' body. If this s**t was real don't you think they would have more specifics, like dates and everything?"


Well,below you will find the FULL picture of what appears to be a young Rick Ross in full C.O. uniform. Ross has come out and said that Trick Daddy is the one responsible for this picture. I personally don't see what the big deal is if he was a C.O. I don't think it's going to stop people from buying Ross CDs. If R. Kelly can piss on little girls and still go platinum, I don't think a little picture of Ross shaking some ladies hand in a brown uniform is going to stop people from buying his music.

LETS LOOK BEYOND THE OBVIOUS...

Lets forget about the fact that Flavor Flav is on the cover of the new Sister 2 Sister magazine with baby mamma number 152.

Lets focus on the fact that this decent looking woman would actually drop her draws for a dude who still has one of them shirts that looks like it has colored silly string on it. Man, I haven't seen one of them shits since I used to watch Double Dare on Nickelodeon in 1991. Furthermore, you can click the pic to enlarge it and check out Flav's 1998 back of the Source magazine costume jewelry.

Oh yea, while you're in the examining mood...Check out ol' girl's baby hair as it gently lays on the left side of her light skinded(My lil' cousin's word not mine)forehead.

KHIA SHINE RESPONDS TO 3 SIX MAFIA

I posted the video last week that showed 3 Six dissing Kia Shine at a CD signing event. Kia Shine has responded to the "diss" with a video of his own...He speaks on the crab in the barrel syndrome, and how artists in Memphis need to come together and unite.

What dude is saying is really true, but them damn wet and wavy twists in his hair make it EXTREMELY hard for me to take him seriously.

Every time he ends a sentence with "Maaaan" I can't help but think about the scene in Hustle and Flow when Terrance Howard made that poor little snow bunny do something strange for that "quality" microphone.

FOXY BROWN AND YOUNG JEEZY COVER XXL

Get a double dose of XXL for the September issue.
I'm not too sure who made the call to give Inga the cover of this magazine, but judging by the way that her Remi weave is flowing freely down her copper toned skin, I'm sensing that she is ready to get back in the booth and spit some of the best ghostwritten rhymes she has ever recorded. Not getting my hopes up tho, because Fox Boogie Brown has disappointed me on too many occasions to believe that she will ever be in that 1996 rare form ever again.


Is it just me, or does this cover remind you of a cover of The Source circa 1997..When people actually still read magazines

BUCKEY SPEAKS ABOUT LICKIN THE WRAPPER ON FILM!!!!


A few months ago, I gave you a look at the sextape that Buckey from Flavor of Love was involved in while she sucked cock like her life depended on it. Well, Buckey never came out and commented about the sextape until now...Buckey released a statement about the suck fest earlier this week.

"It troubled me to find out that my intimate act of love was classified as a sex tape," she said. "I didn't speak on it because I knew how tender the situation was between me and my partner. I didn't want to point fingers at anyone or come out with any names because it was then and still is very much so my personal business.

"However, over these past few weeks, I have been tortured by strangers about what happened, who was I with, did I release the tape on purpose to get publicity, can I prove to them it was me and multiple other random and in decent requests and questions. So I am forced to make a statement," Buckeey continued.

Buckeey goes on to say that her celebrity status has made her a target for jealous individuals, and reveals that the tape was stolen by one of these people. She calls it another "case of bitchassness."

"Once you become a personality on television, you become the target of haters and I am no different," she explains. "The release of the tape was done by hater, stolen by a hater and is just another blatant case of bitchassness. At this point, I can't go out to eat, the grocery store or the gas station without someone stalking me with oral sex questions. I've had it, I did it and it's done and over with."

So, you thought that Jesse Jackson's desire to cut off Barack Obama's nuts was the worst flavor of hatorade that anbody could ever drink, huh?

Well...I got some good news and some bad news for you...The good news is that Jesse Jackson will be recording a new CD that features everyone's favorite negro spirituals.
The bad news is that Bill O'Reily and the good folks over at Fox news are probably going to be leaking the rest of what Jackson said during the interview where he was recorded talking reckless about Barack'O(Young Jeezy's word not mine).

The word around the internets(John McCain's word not mine) is that Jesse also called Barack O a "Ni**er and a half breed" & F*ckin half breed Ni**er"

NEW VIDEO*ALICIA KEYS- SUPER WOMAN

I THINK YOU BETTER CALL TYRONE...



In a recent blog post over at Okayplayer.com, Erykah Badu decided to let yall haters know that she does not appreciate you all talking about her having three different baby daddies.

Of course we all know that Erykah's first son was with Andre 3000, and a few years ago she had another baby by rapper The D.O.C, and now she is pregnant with her third child. This one is with her current boyfriend Jay Electronica.

“I am a great mother and caregiver to my two children, and to this world. My children are two of the kindest and happiest people I have met … I am their doctor and their nurse, and even sometimes their mother and their father. I am an excellent mother and resent all of the negative comments and insults on my character.

“I put much time and thought into having and raising my children. I’ve had the honors of having two home births and two wonderful partners by my side. Every relationship I have been in was because I loved the person dearly and was dedicated to us ‘exclusively’ for a number of years. The fathers of my children are my brothers and friends. We have a great deal of respect for one another and always will. We love our children to no end. We took our own ‘vows’ and continue to uphold them, and that is what that is. Question? What is marriage? Who is the judge? … Would it ‘look better’ to marry and divorce and marry again?”

“If I lose you as a fan because I want to continue to have children, then f*** off … who needs you … certainly not me … kick rocks … call Tyrone … pack light … bite me,” Badu wrote.


Hmmph! That'll teach yall haters to mess with a bag lady

YOU BE THE JUDGE....

A picture surfaced yesterday that showed what looked like a young Ricky Ross in a correctional officer's uniform. If this picture is accurate, of course that would pose a problem for Ross and his big time drug dealer persona....Or would it?!?!?! I mean, there are plenty crooked C.O's out there who deal more coke than the average D- Boy could even dream of.

In response to the picture, Ross had the following to say:

“My life is 100 percent real. These online hackers putting a picture of my face when i was a teenager in high school on other peoples body. If this shit was real don’t you think they would have more specifics, like dates and everything else? I’m in the entertainment business and a lot of people like to hate because I’m on top of my game. Like I said before my life is 100 percent real.”


There are some dudes out there who are ILL with the photoshop..I'm going to say that the evidence isn't conclusive enough for me to make a decision.

WHAT DO YOU THINK...IS THE PICTURE BELOW REAL OR FAKE??

LIL WAYNE GETS KNOCKED OUT...THEN ARRESTED



Word on the skreet is that Lil Wayne was involved in a scuffle at a Louisiana area nigh club Thursday night.

According to sources, Wayne was in the VIP section of Club Dream when he was approached by an aspiring rapper who wanted to "spit hot fiya" for the Lil one. When Wayne attempted to walk away from the stalker rapper, the man reportedly grabbed Wayne's arm. Wayne responded by saying "What you gonna do to me uh Im the fucking man of this city!" Wayne's security wasted no time rushing the dude. As Wayne started to walk away again, the man grabbed Wayne and punched him in the face, knocking him to the ground.

Reportedly cops arrived at the scene and arrested wayne after finding two pistols on him.

As I'm typing this story, it's starting to sound like it is a lot of fiction and a little fact going on..I'm gonna file this one under the rumors category for now. Because I can't find any credible sources covering the story, and also since when do cops come to the scene of a club fight just because someone was knocked to the ground.


I'll keep you posted...

This story was 100% B.S. just as I suspected

I NEED A RIDE OR DIE CHICK....

Did you think having the beginning stages of the lung disease Emphysema was gonna stop my girl Amy Whinehouse from her daily dose of Newport shorts!?!?!?! Well think again...In a recent run to her hood corner store, Amy didn't have any money on her to buy a pack of cigs...So she did what any self respecting crackhead would do...She bummed one off of the paparazzi.



Titties itch much?!?!?

THE WIRE WEDNESDAY

Kinda late, but here is a scene from season 4 where Prop Joe attempts to convince Marlo to join the Co-Op. Of course Marlo being the boss that he is, wasn't trying to hear it!

ANGIE MARTINEZ INTERVIEWS CHRIS BROWN

Chris Breezy sits down for some Q and A with Angie Martinez.

He discusses Rihanna, his new semi "mohawk" and his competition in the dance game, particularly Ursher!

THE JIMMI HENDRIX SEXTAPE

This slipped past me....I knew that there was an alleged Jimmy Hendrix sextape floating around. I thought there was some sort of injunction that prevented Vivid entertainment from releasing the tape. Well...I was wrong. The porn company had given The Hendrix estate 60 days to prove that Hendrix was not the man featured in the tape. The 60 days has expired, and vivid is going full speed ahead with releasing the tape of Jimmy gettin his rocks of with two of the finest snow bunnies that the 70's had to offer.

Here is a preview of the tape.

OH JESSE!!!!!

The good Reverend Jesse Jackson put his nuts foot in his mouth recently while making an appearance on Fox News(of all places). Jackson evidently thought his mic was off when he was speaking to a colleague about Barack Obama and said "I want to cut his nuts off."

Jesse Jackson needs to be ashamed of himself. He needs to make a public apology to Obama, because those comments were TOTALLY out of line. Especially for a man who is supposed to be a "man of the Lord." It's the typical crabs in a barrel syndrome.

Fox News host Bill O' Reilly has stated that he has more damaging audio from Jackson. He said that he will not be releasing it, because it is not relevant, but I think it's safe to say that the audio will be hitting the internet soon.

GAME'S PAIN



The Game called into Phoenix radio station Power 98 to respond to questions about the altercation that happened during his cousins funeral last week.


As I reported earlier this week, The Game allegedly promised to pay for half of the $14,000 funeral expenses but then reneged on the promise. A fight ensued at the funeral as The Game was confronted by one of his cousins.

Check out the interview below to hear what The Game had to say.

BIG THANGS POPPIN...

Down in Miami this weekend...More details later...!!!!

MICHAEL VICK FILES FOR BANKRUPTCY



According to several sources, Michael Vick has filed for bankruptcy in an effort to relieve some of the debt that he is accumulating while incarcerated on charges relating to operating an illegal dog fighting ring in Virginia.

In Chapter 11 documents filed in federal court in Virginia on Monday, Vick cites debts of between $10-50 million dollars. He also cites assets in the same range.

In the court documents, Vick lists seven creditors, including the Falcons, that are owed a total of $12.8 million. The debt to the Falcons is for $3.75 million, listed as a pro rated signing bonus. The documents indicate the claim is disputed.

A Falcons spokesman said the team would not comment on Vick's bankruptcy.

Vick is currently serving a 23-month prison sentence in Leavenworth, Kan. for his guilty plea in federal court to felony charges relating to dog fighting. His release date is July, 2009.

"He is in the process of paying his debt back to society for the federal prosecution," said Peter R. Ginsberg, Vick's attorney with the New York firm of Crowell and Moring. "This will give him the opportunity when he gets out to start his life fresh."


My sources also say that prior to filling for the bankruptcy, Vick purchased a condo in Miami in an exclusive high rise complex. The condo was once occupied by Vick's brother Marcus. Vick chose to purchase the condo because of the lenient bankruptcy rules in the state of Florida.

EDDIE MURPHY TALKS RETIREMENT

NorbitEddie Murphy hit up the Today's Show and spoke Al Roker about how many years he has left in the game, and what will happen when he hangs it up.

KEY-LO-LO PERFORMS ON GOOD MORNING AMERICA

Keyshia performed "Heaven Sent" on ABC's Good Morning America today.

ONE BLOOD?!?!?


According to TMZ:


Robert "Kirky" Kirkwood tells TMZ that when his sister died, The Game -- who he says is his first cousin -- volunteered to pay half of the $14k it cost to bury her. But after making the commitment, Kirky says The Game changed his phone number and went underground!

That's when the blood started to boil ...

Kirky then says The Game -- real name Jayceon Taylor -- showed up unexpectedly at the funeral last Saturday, even speaking at the service about family values. But things got heated outside the church when the issue of the cash came up. Kirky says his cuz stepped to him and started a big ol' fight, punching him in the face!

Kirky's filed a police report, and cops tell us there was an altercation over money at the funeral and an active investigation is in place.


I'm sure that Game will find a way to capitalize off of this situation like he always does.

THREE 6 MAFIA VS. KINFOLK KIA SHINE

I realize that 98.85% of yall will have no idea who Kia Shine is. He is a rapper from Memphis who had a song out last year called "So Crispy."
I guess he and the boys from Three 6 Mafia don't really get along. Well for some reason, the boy showed up at a CD signing event where DJ Paul and Juicy J were. Needless to say, he got embarrased and ran up out of the store.

THE DAMN...DAMN..DAMN...VIDEO OF THE WEEK

I think I am going to give a point to Ice T by default just because shorty set Hip Hop back about 17 years with this video right chea...Not because he's white..not because he cranks that Souljaboy with less rhythm than anyone I have ever seen in my life..but because gas is $8,000.00 a gallon right now and I need little Dylan here to be inventing the world's next car that runs on something besides gas. Instead of studying his physics assignment and creating a special oil molecule, he's on youtube crankin dat damn Souljaboy...Maaaan....sit dat ass down and figure out a way to hack into John McCain's cell phone so we can see them pics of him banging Condoleeza Rice....Yuuuullll!!!!

YOUNG JEEZY GETS MOVIE DEAL*CLAIMS KEYSHIA COLE PROPOSED TO HIM


Young Jeezy has landed a role in the new Ice Cube movie "Janky Promoters."

In the new movie starring Cube, Mike Epps, and Terry Crews, Young Jeezy plays the role of a rapper who gets booked for a concert by two shady concert promoters.

In other Jeezy news, you can check out Mr. 17.5 as he covers the new edition of Vibe magazine.

In the article Jeezy finally opens up about his relationship with my boo Key-Lo-Lo:

“Keyshia asked me to marry her, bought me a ring and everything. She not gonna tell you different,” said Young Jeezy. “I was grown enough to tell her, Look baby, that isn’t what it is right now. I’m trying to get my shit together. I’m trying to get my money, take care of me and mine.”

Hmmm..this is going to be interesting. I am quite sure that Key-Lo-Lo has a totally different version of the story to tell. All I know is that I am going to believe whatever Frankie says...You gotta always go with the crack head's version of the story because they are usualy the only person who can give an unbiased opinion.

YOU EVER MADE LOVE TO A THUG IN A CLUB WIT HIS ICE ON...



Republican Presidential nominee John McCain recently confessed that he is a fan of Usher. After an appearance with Ursh last year on Saturday Night Live, McCain says that he was converted into a fan after washing the singer rehearse for his performance.


Very talented. Very good, and I'm usually not into that brand of music, but I watched him rehearse, and I watched him twice. And I was very impressed. I got one (Usher CD). Actually, my daughter, Meghan, likes him, and she got it for me."


Aint that somethin'? Before you know it, George Bush will be doing press conferences with that damn T-Pain/Lil Wayne auto tuner on his voice.
