You guessed. The Game was doing what he's best at on Funk Flex's Hot 97 radio show. Among a number of things he claims to have 'fingered' Vida Guerra at a Jamie Foxx house party.

What is funny though is how much props he gets from corny-ass Funk Flex.

Stalking Jay-Z

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

This crazy chick admitted to stalking Jay-Z for more than three years. She says she buys every magazine Jay-Z is in, has called him over 300 times and e-mails him 200 times a day, but he has never responded. She even had a T-shirt made up with her and Jay-Z's picture, that she says she sleeps in every night.

Katrina said: "I want to see Beyonce and Jay-Z one day in public and just go there and snatch her weave out."

The Larry Davis Story

He shot and wounded corrupt police officers who came to assassinate him, evaded capture for 17 days and then beat the attempted murder charges brought against him. This is the story of Larry Davis.

What you just saw was a one sided account of events in the life of Larry Davis. Yeah it's a great story and he's a street legend who took on the corrupt authorities and nearly won (I say nearly won because he still ended up in a jail cell)... But political prisoner? I'm not so sure.

I mean when I think of a political prisoner the names Biko and Mandela come to mind - men that put the interests of their people above their own lives. Larry Davis was a young man who sold drugs for the cops so HE could make an earner, I don't believe this 'forced' to sell drugs malarkey; a young man who then tried to rob the same cops HE was working for, hence 'the money's on the table, take the money, don't shoot' quote; a young man who, after that, shot six of the same corrupt cops HE tried to rob, in defending HIMSELF; and is now an old man trying to negotiate the rights to his story so HE can make millions. Good luck to him, as I said it's a great story.

This is a guy that has been looking out for number one all his life. Street star - yes - but for me, he is not on the same mantle as a political prisoner. What do you think? Let me know.

The title track 'what we have here' is a joyous blend of witty lyrics, musical energy and an explosive beat by Niimp Records. Throughout this mixtape Big O's is not short of expression.

Big O's keeps this enjoyable piece of work profanity free, making it suitable for the whole family. Big O's did the industry a 'favour' by teaming up with A.J. of Niimp Records who did not fail to supply him with real club bangers. Quality is 'What We Have Here'.

What group do you belong to?

A new study commissioned by Somerfield has identified six new social groups that have emerged in our society and will, they say, cement themselves in the years to come.

Which group do you or your friends fall into?

URBAN FARMERS
People who live a country lifestyle in an urban area: they drive 4x4s, have an allotment or grow veg in their gardens, go for walks or rambles and purchase organic food.

BRICKLAYER'S WIVES
A rival of footballers' Wags they are the wives and girlfriends of bricklayers, plumbers and electricians. They have a household income over £40,000, read Vogue magazine, drink champagne often and love designer clothes and accessories.


YOUNG FOGEYS
Youngsters who act like their parents: under 35, listen to radio 4, are not into nightclubs, drink real ale and buy clothes for comfort not style.


TRANSIENT TWENTIES
University graduates on a permanent gap year: move often, do not believe in job security and are always searching for a new challenge.


VIRTUAL VILLAGERS
Rural dwellors who spend their lives on the internet.


THE UNSTOPPABLES
A super-race of over 65s, who still enjoy eating out, gigs, travelling, evening classes and generally having a good time.


Get @ me!! And tell me what group you’re in or nominate your friends.

Is this the Face of the UK?

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

The fat playground bully showed her cards last night when she ranted and raved about Shilpa Shetty 'Bollywood star' claiming oxo cubes were the only thing she had ordered on the BB shopping list.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Oxo cubes? Or was it that she was mad that Shilpa 'Bollywood star' is pretty, well spoken, a good cook and tolerating of fools. Even in all the verbals Shilpa 'Bollywood star' had the best punchline stating Jade was only famous from Big Brother... true. Jade banged on for ages all f***s and s***s and only succeeded in showing how insecure she is.



The best part of the evenings events however was watching Danielle Lloyd 'shamed beauty queen' doing her sidekick gig. Complaining about Shilpa 'Bollywood star' she said "she can't even speak English properly" forgetting as you do that English is not everybody's first language and she herself can't even speak English properly, let alone another language. And then stroking Jade's ego she claimed "your mother would be proud of you".

So I'm asking is this the aptitude and behaviour that UK mothers are proud of these days?

Get @ me!

Unsigned band top of the pops

You heard it here first about the shake up of the chart rules. (Recap: From the start of January the chart would begin to count downloads without a physical CD release. You see before that an artist needed to release singles on CD or another physical format - and therefore have a record deal - to qualify for the chart.)

Well Essex rock band Koopa have made chart history by becoming the first unsigned band to land a UK top 40 hit

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting



Their download-only single Blag, Steal and Borrow debuted at number 31.

The boys who have been together for seven years have built up quite a fanbase through the internet and live shows, playing almost 500 gigs in the last three years.

Check them out and listen to the track at www.koopatheband.com

*INTERNATIONAL RULES OF MANHOOD 2007*

I received this email from a friend the other day and ever since I have been on a crusade to raise publicity for the RULES OF MANHOOD CAMPAIGN. The media has swamped young men with images of clean shaven, chest waxed, hair gelled men and it is killing masculinity among our next generation. The picture of Beckham in that sarong still haunts me to this day.

IF YOU ARE OF A SENSITIVE DISPOSITION LOOK AWAY NOW

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I feel the rise of the 'hoodie' is a direct response to the steadfast promotion of the modern man.

I still remember the days when men used to go out and hunt for their food... well... I've seen the documentaries on the Discovery channel, same thing. In short I am calling for these rules to be set in statute and the return of DAN THE MAN.

*INTERNATIONAL RULES OF MANHOOD 2007*
1. Under no circumstances may two men share an umbrella, unless at rugby, and your beer is getting rained on, then for the drinking period only, it is permissible.

2. It is ok for a man to cry under the following circumstances: a. When a heroic dog dies to save its master. b. The moment Angelina Jolie starts unbuttoning her blouse. c. After wrecking your boss' car. d. One hour, 12 minutes, 37 seconds into "The Crying Game"
e. When she is using her teeth.


3. Any Man who brings a camera to a stag night may be legally killed and eaten by his mates.

4. Unless he murdered someone in your family, you must bail a friend out of jail within 12 hours.

5. If you've known a bloke for more than 24 hours, his sister is off limits forever, unless you actually marry her.

6. Moaning about the brand of free beer in a mate's fridge is forbidden. However you can complain at will if the temperature is unsuitable.

7. No man shall ever be required to buy a birthday present for another man. In fact, even remembering your mate's birthday is strictly optional.

8. On a road trip, the strongest bladder determines pit stops, not the weakest.

9. When stumbling upon other blokes watching a sporting event, you may ask the score of the game in progress, but you may never ask whose playing.

10. You may fluctuate in front of a woman only after you have brought her to climax. If you intentionally trap her head under the covers for the purpose of flatulent entertainment, she's officially your girlfriend.

11. It is permissible to quaff a fruity alcohol drink only when you're sunning on a tropical beach... and it's delivered by a topless supermodel...and it's free.

12. Only in situations of moral and/or physical peril are you allowed to kick another bloke in the nuts.

13. Unless you're in prison, never fight naked.

14. Friends don't let friends wear Speedos. Ever. Issue closed.

15. If a man's fly is down, that's his problem, you didn't see anything.

16. Women who claim they "love to watch sports" must be treated as spies until they demonstrate knowledge of the game (can explain offside or LBW) and the ability to drink as much as the other sports watchers.

17. A man in the company of a hot, suggestively dressed woman must remain sober enough to fight.

18. Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of pizza, but not both - that's just greedy.

19. If you compliment a bloke on his six-pack, you'd better be talking about his choice of beer.

20. Never join your girlfriend or wife in discussing a mate of yours, except if she's withholding S*x pending your response.

21. Phrases that may NOT be uttered to another man while lifting weights:
a. Yeah, Baby, Push it!
b. C'mon, give me one more! Harder!
c. Another set and we can hit the showers!

22. Never talk to a man in a bathroom unless you are on equal footing: i.e. Both urinating, both waiting in line, etc. For all other situations, an almost imperceptible nod is all the conversation you need.

23. Never allow a telephone conversation with a woman to go on longer than you are able to have s*x with her Keep a stopwatch by the phone. Hang up if necessary.

24. The morning after you and a girl who was formerly "just a friend" have carnal "drunken monkey s*x", the fact that you're feeling weird and guilty is no reason for you not to nail each other again before the discussion about what a big mistake it was, occurs.

25. It is acceptable for you to drive her car. It is not acceptable for her to drive yours.

26. Thou shalt not buy a car in the colours of brown, pink, orange or sky blue.

27. The girl who replies to the question "What do you want for Christmas?" with "If you loved me, you'd know what I want!" gets a Playstation II. End of story.

28. There is no reason for guys to watch Ice Skating or Men's Gymnastics. Ever!

29. Men shall never take part in female social activities, for example Yoga.

***Half way through posting the rules up I realised I had this nice colour pattern scheme going on... THE DISEASE IS SPREADING! WE HAVE TO ACT NOW OR FOREVER BE DOOMED TO MOISTURIZING CREAMS AND OIL FREE FACIAL SCRUBS!!***

PLEASE MAKE YOUR FRIENDS, AND THEIR FRIENDS, AWARE OF THE STRUGGLE.

Apple Introduces iPhone, Readies Apple TV

news bulletin from Hip Hop Marketing & Business News

Today, at the Macworld Conference and Expo, Steve Jobs announced the introduction of the Apple iPhone and the February release date for Apple TV, a "video box" designed to store and stream videos downloaded from the Internet.

On the iPhone:
The phone automatically synchs your media movies, music, photos through Apple's iTunes digital content store. The device also synchs e-mail content, Web bookmarks and nearly any type of digital content stored on your computer.

On Apple TV:
Apple TV will come with a 40-gigabyte hard drive that stores up to 50 hours of video. It features an Intel Corp. microprocessor and can handle videos, photos and music streamed from up to five computers within the wireless range.

Lots of details not given here but the tech press and bloggers will be making a field day of the iPhone announcement.

Officer Jackson

Not to be out done by her brother Jermaine, Latoya Jackson is to appear in a reality tv show where the celebs are trained to be cops. And it looks like she is relishing the role.

Top of the Pops

New chart rules come into force this week which allows songs downloaded from the net to be counted in the charts regardless of when they were released.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Previously, downloaded songs were only included when the physical copy of the record was available in the shops, starting one week before they arrived and being discounted two weeks after they left.

For instance, on exiting the charts the Gnarls Barkley single 'Crazy' continued to out sale most songs through downloads but they were not counted as their label had removed the hard copy of the song from the shops to prepare for their next release.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

So we could see the return to the charts of old favourites which are continually downloaded through the net. EMI are rumoured to release the Beatles' back catalogue as downloads for the first time this year.

On that note, I'll just like to remind you that all Ride Out releases can be downloaded from the net at WWW.RIDEOUTRECORDS.COM

On a 'lighter' note...

A couple who made £1m peddling toxic skin lightening creams have been fined £100,000.

Yinka and Michael Oluyemi sold the bleaching creams from their two cosmetics shops in Peckham, south-east London.

Yinka Oluyemi on her way to court

Appearing at Inner London Crown Court the couple admitted 10 charges of flouting medical and safety regulations between July and December 2005.

Their products contained hydroquinone, a bleaching agent which is dangerous in excessive quantities and can lead to asthma, liver damage and infertility.

In sentencing, Judge Nicholas Philpot told the church-going couple they were "hard-nosed business people determined to make money regardless of the danger to public health". He fined them £70,000 and ordered them to pick up the prosecution's legal costs of £22,000.

The use of bleaching creams is said to be very popular among African and Caribbean women. So what is it? Is lighter skin more attractive? Straight hair, light skin; is that the picture of a beautiful black woman? You know me I'm not fussy; picky hair, straight hair, dark chocolate, milk chocolate; as long as there’s a pulse it's a GO!

What do you think? Let me know.

COMMON FT WILL.I.AM - 'I HAVE A DREAM'

Check out Common's new video for the upcoming 'Freedom Writers' movie.
Martin Luther on the track... imagine that!

JAMES BROWN'S WIDOW

In the days following James Brown's death his widow 36-year-old Tomi Rae Brown was locked out of the godfather's estate. Brown's lawyer who ordered the freeze out said she was merely "from time to time, a guest in Mr Brown's home", was not married to him and did not see him in the final weeks.
Well on this showing they should have done the same when she came to visit from time to time.

There are much bigger issues in the world I know but…

My researcher (really my little cousin) came up with some stunners for the new year which I couldn’t overlook. You try overlooking this.

Tyra Banks looking like a happy meal really does make her happy. But hey she’s been successful of late and nothing shows success like that ‘getting money fat’. She’s gonna need a larger money belt for that waist though.

I don’t claim to be an expert on either women or hair but I’m sure it wasn’t meant to look like that. My stylist (the same little cousin) tried to explain what was happening to the side of her face but I still don’t get it. I do know it’s something to do with glue and weave and sounds like a task for MacGyver.

And Lil’ Kim is reportedly demanding nearly $1 million to appear on Big Brother. The original sum offered to her was $500,000 and she is now considering an increased offer of $800,000. The Sun has also claimed that she made a list of diva demands including having a personal assistant with her in the house and a make-up stylist on standby. I’m sure the later would be considered if the program was shown before the watershed, so as not to scare the kids.

Don't say I never do anything for the ladies...
