Nigga Please of the Week

Nigga Please of the Week

Kanye West has a hit out at white musicians who try to sound black, insisting artists should stick to what they do best. West confesses to a diverse listening taste and is even a fan of British rocker Franz Ferdinand. He says, “I hate music where white people are trying to sound black. The white music I like is white. “I like Franz Ferdinand. That’s the shit.”

Ice-T is to produce David Hasselhoff’s first hip-hop album. The pair are neighbours in Los Angeles and are said to have struck up a close friendship. Hasselhoff has had some success as a singer, releasing seven albums. He’s also said to be very popular in Germany. Ice-T, who was one of the first real hip-hop stars in the late 1980s, said: “The man is a legend. And we are going to show a whole new side of him.” The rapper is said to be convinced that the 51-year-old for Knight Rider and Baywatch actor can take on the biggest names in rap, reports The Sun. Ice-T added: “He’s gonna come out as Hassle The Hoff – I promise you. The Hoff will surprise people with his rap skills and humour.

- Kanye was rejected by one of London’s elite nightclubs, because door staff didn’t have a clue who he was. Mr. West was left speechless and embarrassed as he left Chinawhite, with his entourage trailing behind him. According to the Daily Mirror, Kanye rolled up outside the club in two Mercedes people carriers at around 2.30am. Despite desperate attempts to pursuade staff they were willing to pay, they were refused point blank because their names were not on the list and it was for members only. However, in a farcical move, minutes later Big Brother’s mouthy Makosi and her crew jumped the queue and walked straight in. But perhaps it just wasn’t destiny for Kanye to hit the capital’s club scene last night. After scouting the streets, the very frustrated rapper made his way to Ten Rooms, but was refused for arriving too late.

- Foxy is taking a break for ear surgery. I think this is from that ass whooping Jacki-O gave her. But hey, what do I know.

And you thought award show season was done right (well, for black people atleast) ? Nope! Hip Hop Honors will air on VH-1 Monday night at 9 pm. Finally, an award show I probably will be able to stomach. I didn’t get to watch the first show when it initally aired in ‘04 (was busy with school) but I did catch it this year. No one cooning on stage? I was impressed. Let’s just hope that they won’t disappoint this time around.
- The OG Mr. and Mrs. Smith (and I’m not talking about Jada and Will) are still together.
- Ice T and Coco Puffs looking a H.A.M. (hot ass mess) as usual.
- MC Lyte still looks great.
- Faith stole one of my Mama’s church dresses.
- We’ll always love Big Poppa! B.I.G’s Mom and kids smile for the cameras. Doesn’t little Chris look so much like his Dad but only 50 times cuter?
- David Banner cleans up well.
- Salt ‘N’ Pepa look decent after all those years of pushing.
- Um, why did he decide to show up? I hope he’s not a presentor.
- Check out the art from the show.
- Queen Latifah looks like she’s been to one too many cookouts.
- Snoop looks ‘blown’ as always.
- Okay I’m going to have a big problem with Cuba Gooding Jr. if he didn’t show up to help accept the award for Boyz N Da Hood. I know that nigga gave his ghetto pass back a long time ago but damn. But what’s up with the weird facial expressions? Looks like John had a stroke.
- Ciara tries out a new hair color.
- Nelly channels his inner James Todd Smith.
- Last but not least, En Vogue looks tired. Somebody please let them take a nap! I hope they don’t pull a Fugees at the BET Awards. They even looked tired at rehearsals. Lord help us.

Foxy And Her Purple Passion

Posted by Fresh on September 22, 2005

Foxy Brown exits Manhattan criminal court, Thursday, Sept. 22, 2005, in New York. A trial date was set for Dec. 5, 2005, on assault charges made against her at a New York nail salon. She allegedly assaulted a pair of Manhattan nail shop workers in a fight over a manicure on Aug. 29, 2004.

Scratch all of that. You already know what I have to say . . .

damn you Inga

Inga should be the official spokeswoman for Fashion Fair. Does she ever put on a different shade of lipstick? I do applaud the fact that her and Lauryn are a few of the only other females still in the game who didn’t dye their hair blonde to sell records. But this shit has got to cease.
I’m not going to say anything about her baby hair this time.

Dear Cyber Thug

Posted by Fresh on September 22, 2005

Edit / / Hey gang, got an update for you. Apparently the internet hoodrat who has been invading the comments section lately has a blog of her own. Big surprise huh? Maybe somebody is desperate for hits, no? It seems as a few people got their panties in a bunch over the cyber thug psa. A hit dog will always holler. So to the cyber thuggette in question I will say this: I’m not going to give you the satisfaction of receiving site visits from my folks.

Its not that serious. This is the fucking internet. You claim to be grown but you’re hiding behind your keyboard instead of grabbing a hold of life.

untitled3 Dear Cyber Thug Dear Cyber Thugs,


Thinking about leaving negative anonymous comments? Thats a hell to the nah here at C&D. If you don’t like this site is then don’t visit. Its just that simple. It’s almost like giving a television program you can’t stand ratings. Doesn’t make sense at all. So if I want to call a black person a negra or a Caucasian a cracka ass cracka then that’s my say so.

Haloscan is now in effect. I encourage you to think twice before you post. Negative comments will get you banned from this site. Point blank period.



I’ll take your ass down to Chinatown like Whitney baby.

Love Always,
Fresh

Superhead Just Won’t Quit

The claws are back out between Tyra Banks and Video Vixen Karrine Steffans. Banks was hissing after Steffans, who admits she has been intimate with Jay-Z, Shaquille O’Neal, Usher, Ja Rule, Sean (Diddy) Combs, Vin Diesel and Fred Durst, claimed that she and Tyra “are not that different.” Now catwalker Tyra, who’s promoting her fifth season on “America’s Next Top Model,” is refusing to go on John Salley and Ananda Lewis’ L.A. radio show after Steffans used that forum to trash her. “I heard they call Tyra ‘Hollywood Hop,’” Steffans told Salley and Lewis, “for the many men in Hollywood who have bedded Tyra and moved on.” (continue)
Fan Tells DMX That ‘Lil’ Jon Is Better’ And Gets Pimp Slapped

Two men have filed complaints with police in Berlin, Germany, claiming that U.S. rap star DMX assaulted them in a Berlin nightclub. DMX was in Berlin’s Sage Club last Friday (Sept. 16) following an appearance earlier in the evening. The rapper became involved in an altercation with Oliver Osterode, 24 and Julian Schmidt, 24, allegedly comments made while in the bathroom. “I wanted to go to the bathroom and met DMX,” Osterode told German newspaper BZ. “I told him that I think he’s cool, but Lil’ Jon is better. Then he freaked out. He slapped me in the face, and then his bodyguards attacked us.”Osterode suffered a swollen eye, bruised ribs and other lacerations, while Schmidt reportedly suffered bruises to his abdomen. Managers for DMX have assigned a Munich based lawyer to investigate the incident. Representatives for the rapper were not available as of press time.
Kanye West Does Not Care About Clearing Samples

Legendary diva Dame Shirley Bassey is furious after discovering rapper Kanye sampled her 1971 hit “Diamonds Are Forever” in his single “Diamonds From Sierra Leone”. The 68-year-old star is considering legal action after West used the chorus from the James Bond soundtrack song and alleges his record label Roc-A-Fella never approached her, reports British newspaper the Daily Mail. She said:”I didn’t know anything about the song before its release. “He didn’t ask my permission to have me singing on his song. I didn’t even know it existed until I heard him performing at the Live 8 concert. I didn’t even hear from his record company, which wasn’t very nice. “(Legally) it’s something I want to look into, because he was very cheeky, so one way or another he is going to have to pay me a lot of money.”

Trick Daddy Wants To Justify Your Thug

Mr. Trick Daddy Dollars has teamed up with Russell Simmons and the good folks over at VH1 to create a show titled Thug My Guy. I guess they’re going to take some random cracka ass cracka, place himin an XXL white tee and drop him off in the infamous Pork’N’ Bean projects in Miami. I’m assuming its going to be similar to Queer Eye but backwards. Instead of bathing everyday, you will rotate. What I’m trying to figure out is who in the blue fuck would want to take fashion tips from Trick Daddy? He looks like he leaves a ring around his tub. Anyways, visit the site for more information.

Have you had your daily dose of ignorance today?


The clip is dark as hell and I wasn’t able to sucessfully determine if that indeed was Trick Daddy. Plus you have to put up with five minutes of talking from some random nigga from Detroit who is trying to make a name for himself. *sigh*

Naomi Campbell Is Bulletproof

Naomi Campbell has requested a bullet-proof limousine when she visits Colombia. She is set to judge a modeling contest in Bogota, a crime-ridden city. Naomi, 35, invited in Bogata, Columbia to judge a modeling competition that will take place Friday, is afraid she will be kidnapped by the local mobsters. A spokesman confirms: “She asked for a bullet proof car to drive her round Bogata.”Colombia’s murder rate is among the highest in the world, in line with the country’s reputation as one of the world’s most dangerous places. It maintains the second highest murder rate in Latin America at 112 per 100,000 people, is the traditional headquarters of one of the most powerful drug trafficking rings in Colombia and remains rife with narcotics-related violence.

PSA: Trappin’ Is A Trap

trap

Since your girl Fresh still resides in the hood, I pretty much can look out of my bedroom window and see drug transactions take place at any given time. Please believe my block is hot like Weezy’s. Its been like that every since I wasrocking pigtails and Osh B’ Gosh overalls. I say this not to “impress” you but instead to say this: If you are going to walk around in a shirt that says “I Got That Snow” you’re going to raise the eyebrows of police officers. All the hood negras here in GA love walking around in these damn snowman joints like its December yapping about trap or die. Nigga please.

Stop blaming “the white man” when you’re the one with a billboard on your chest which implies you sell rocks. You’re better off wearing one that says “I got bout an ounce in the glove compartment.”

One Last Drumstick

kimmy Buzz NotesA less than glamorous Lil’ Kim wears shades, an oversized T-shirt and jeans, as she arrives at the Federal Detention Center in Philadelphia. The queen bee has a new hive – and she’s not liking it. Raunchy rapper Lil’ Kim walked into a federal prison yesterday to start a year-and-a-day sentence for lying about a shootout with a rival rap crew.
Kim strode into the Federal Detention Center in downtown Philadelphia without saying a word, but vowed in a statement that she “will come out a stronger, more confident woman.”"I am blessed to have so many great things in my life – family, friends and God,” said Kim, 30, whose real name is Kimberly Jones. “All will be in my thoughts daily.”She groused over not getting assigned to a less-strenuous prison camp. “I am not certain that this constitutes fair and equal treatment,” Kim said.

Still, she promised to make the best of her stint behind bars. “Today begins a new saga in my life which I expect to strengthen me and allow me time for reflection,” she said.The nation’s new most famous federal inmate drove down the New Jersey Turnpike in a convoy of five luxury vehicles from her Englewood home. Trailed by a reality TV crew, she stopped at a rest stop for fried chicken at Roy Rogers before beating a 5 p.m. deadline by 30 minutes.

Only in America will Black people will risk getting into further trouble with the law just for a damn white meat and biscuit combo. Check out the farewell dinner Kim’s friends had for her.

They Lootin’ – - Made You Look

Business owners return to New Orleans “The Wal-Mart store in uptown New Orleans, built within the last year, survived the storm but was destroyed by looters.”They took everything – all the electronics, the food, the bikes,” said John Stonaker, a Wal-Mart security officer. “People left their old clothes on the floor when they took new ones. The only thing left are the country-and-western CDs. You can still get a Shania Twain album.”If the store had not been looted, it could be open in two weeks, Stonaker said. Now he doubts it will be open by January.” (continue)

It’s Cheaper To Keep Her

I’ve been hearing horrific and bombshell allegations regarding R. Kelly’s estrangement from his wife Andrea. If these allegations are true and the Kelly’s divorce, R. Kelly would be better off agreeing to an out of court settlement. He wouldn’t want these allegations to come out in an open arena. Also, we have received word that the tabloids are snooping around. If they decide to do a story, I’m sure the allegations will be included in their account. R. Kelly is worth between $75-$100 million dollars, the Kelly’s have been married for several years and they have three children.

Superhead Got Competition?
So the word is Mos Def got on some drugs and married a stripper. Sources say she was a stripper in Toronto for years along with her mother. Yes her mother was a stripper too. The funniest part is that her name was Ecstacy which is what some people say they were on when they got married. This chick has never worked a day in her life but a bag of rappers and ballplayers send her money and the streets are saying she’s a professional. Toronto got their very own Superhead. Mos is not her first victim. (shout out to Soli for the tip)

UPN = Under Paid Niggas

. . . Did anyone catch the new fall line-up last night? While I the opening credits to One on One played I saw that Ray J. would be on the show, so I didn’t watch. Oh well. The best show on television last night was this week’s episode of spoiled white teens My Super Sweet 16. I’m not going to hype it up because its something you have to see for yourself.

Foxy Brown is smiling inside of Jay’s oval office over at Def Jam rubbing her hands together like Mr. Burns tonight. I’m surprised this isn’t on a black tee yet. Those were the days. Don’t mind me, I’m just reminiscing like Mary J. Comments are off for this post. Just sit back and enjoy the duo who once called themselves hip hop’s Thelma and Louise.

Is Bill Maher The New Clinton?

bill

Your eyes do not decieve you, that is Kid from Kid-N-Play fame (damn, thats such an oxymoron now) kicking it will my nigga Bill Maher. I’m not sure if this means Bill has earned a ghetto pass like other great whites who have come before him. Its still pretty funny shit to see him hanging out with the negra folks. Its almost like he shouldn’t even be there . . . like someone photoshopped his ass in. And lets not even begin to talk about Karrine. Who knew that the same girl who sniffed Ja Rule’s socks when she missed him would be standing on the red carpet at the Emmy’s. See girls dreams do come true. Only if you have a high priced white sugar daddy. You still can’t knock her hustle.

And WTF is up with Kid’s facial expression? He looks like a spider monkey. *sighs* On another note, please pray that Earth, Wind, and Fire do not show up to any more events looking a hot mess.
