"Rap Is Outta (Remote) Control!!"- Hip Hop Quietly Sneak(er)ing On The Tube

Ok Diggy Simmons gets featured in a Verizon (I think I'm correct) commercial, then Kanye's "Power" gets attached to the Social Network (Facebook) trailers (BTW* did you peep 'Ye's cameo on the Cleveland Brown show?). Now THIS?!? Jim Jones AND Rick Ross has sneaker beef?!? LOL! How ironic is it that BOTH artists are featured in two different sneaker commercials huh? Peep how one gets a co-sign from Dame Dash, and the other is backed by Jay-Z...huh!? Jones filmed his on location in Harlem, while Ross's is shot in Brooklyn...curious again? Neither one is shown actually WEARING the product advertised in the commercial too! Hmmm the mystery continues...."Jim Ross" & "Rick Jones" are names of interning PAs that worked on on set of these joints...WOW! I've said TOO much already, you figure this one out on your own homie!

"Ol' School, New School Need to Learn..." Pt.7

Wanna hear a funny story? Well a while ago a former flame of mine decided (for herself) that she wanted to "spice things up" in the bedroom department and took on the task of taking Belly Dancing lessons. (SWEET!) Of course, as you may well have guessed, I was in FULL support of this new venture. So now, by lesson two she's been instructed to practice at home with the aid of music on the recommended CD "The Best of Belly Dancing." Half way through her "act" I hear the 1st striking chords of Jay-Z's "Big Pimpin," and I start to lose it! Kudos Timbaland, kudos. The way he first came across this sample may not have been as exciting as mine, but he scored even bigger points for making it one of Hip Hop's biggest hits. Sheesh, even the video got props when it debuted. With the infamous Dame Dash champaign pouring scene, the now late Pimp C, and it even featured a fresh-to-the-scene Gloria Velez in all-white slo-mo glory. One of Hype Williams' best. Now whenever I hear "Big Pimpin" I can't help but to picture her belly dancing to it. Pimp on pimpin'!

"You Ready Bey?"-Knot Yet, But Soon..

First off, a big congrats are in order to the "Jigga Man" for landing a historical (for a rapper) multi-million dollar ($150m) album deal with the concert promotion company Live Nation. For those of you that are unfamiliar with the company check the back of your most recent ticket stubs, you're see their logo print on there somewhat. Ｔhe deal goes like this, Hova gets a 10 million advance for each album recorded, and has a minimum of 3 album obligation to fulfill...SWEET! So expect to hear "the Blueprint 3-10" on your iTouch in the very near future (lol). Now on to the BIG news. I'm certain that you've heard the wedding rumors (the real ones) floating about concerning the marriage licence (between Jay-Z & Beyonce') filed recently. Well, guess what the Minority Report as obtained some "inside trader scoops" on what it'll take to go down the aisle for both. U ready? Alright I'll stop stalling and spill the "pork-n-beans." Okay, first on the list was that by no means can Memphis Bleek be in the wedding party if he wears that outdated do-rag he's known for. Kanye is uninvited if he's to show up sporting his tuxedo shirt open, there's a four button minimum Mr. West. Sister of the Bride, Solange, has be informed that she is NOT to sing at the wedding AND the reception. Also former Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland, can never ever put out another CD, unless the couple divorces. As the newly wedded couple walk down the aisle, the wedding party has been instructed to throw up the ROC sign in the air. Instead of the traditional "jumping of the broom" the blissful couple have opted to "jump the gun" as an alternative. Diddy has donated free cases of Ciroc for the reception. And lastly, to bury the hatchet, former Rocafella co-founder Dame Dash, give up multiple pairs of Pro-Keds to tie to the back of the honeymooning celeb couples' Maybach, replacing the usual cans used for the occassion. Well that's all I uncovered for the moment, more on this breaking news later.
