Everybody that signed [to Poe Boy] had gotten their advance money, but when it came time for me to get my advance, I had to f*ck for my advance. It was ten stacks and I had to f*ck for it. So naturally it wasn’t something that I’m proud of doing. And I don’t advise any female to get into no business – be it music or whatever – and get exploited like that. [E Class] told me I had to have sex with him to get the ten stacks. That’s how me and him got into a relationship. But that was a situation I had to face, and I made the wrong turn. But I’m from the hood and if somebody offers you ten thousand dollars at one time to get out of the hood, and lets you go for your dream of doing music, you’re gonna run to that.”

- - Jacki-O reveals to Hip Hop Weekly that she had to engage in some hoe shit for her advance money

Survey says! Bitch should have called Gary Coleman to hook her up with a loan from CashCall.com

If this shit is true [which I highly doubt] Soledad O’Brien needs to do an in-depth profile on Kim Porter about the state of today’s baby mama. I’m just saying.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is giving marriage a chance.

The bachelor father of six is quietly telling close friends and family that he and singer Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura are heading to the chapel.

“He told everyone to keep it extremely quiet because he didn’t want it to get out, but you could tell he was excited,” says a source. “Diddy said they hadn’t set a date yet, but he wanted his family to hear the news first.”

Diddy revealed his engagement to the Connecticut native at his son Justin’s eighth-grade graduation ceremony in Riverdale, N.Y., on June 5. [source]

We’re going to rock Tashera tonight for old times sake!

DMX spit some hot shit for reporters outside a Phoenix courtroom after pleading not guilty to felony charges of theft and identity theft before plugging his new album.

Authorities allege the 37-year-old rapper gave the name “Troy Jones” and an incorrect Social Security number to a Scottsdale hospital in April to avoid paying $7,500 in medical expenses.

DMX rapped: “If you ever fall down, get back up.”

I can’t and even if I could I still wouldn’t! I’ve seen a lot of random behavior in the past from crackheads but this takes the cake. Maybe Earl and the Notorious B.U.M. can link up and go on tour together.

Must not to make an Eli Porter reference . . . Must not to make an Eli Porter reference. Must . . . FAILED.

Samuel Raynard Jones, 20, was sentenced Wednesday to 30 years in prison for shooting a rival during a rap battle in a Haltom City field.According to witnesses Jones and the victim, Christopher Smith, 17, met for a rap battle late one night in September 2006. The battle went down in a field between an apartment complex and a church.

Smith rapped first. After he finished, Jones walked toward him rapping and pointing a handgun at him, according to an affidavit. Jones then gave his gun to one of the witnesses and began a fistfight with Smith.

When the fight ended, Smith began looking for his personal belongings. Witnesses said they heard a single gunshot and watched Smith fall to the ground.

All of the witnesses ran, police said. Smith’s body was found the next day with a gunshot wound in the head.

I’ve heard of a hot 16 but this is just disturbing. Is CNN going to talk about this tonight on Being Black In America?

Nas joined political groups Color of Change and Move On, along with fans and protesters, outside of the “Sly Fox” News building in New York to protest the network’s portrayal of African-Americans.

Color of Change and Move On delivered several boxes containing a petition signed by more than 620,000 people to support their cause, although Fox News refused to accept them.

Nas briefly spoke to the crowd of nearly 100 people and urged them to “stop the racist smears on the Obamas and black Americans.” In his speech, he cited examples of remarks made by Fox reporters that he and supporters found to be racist, including a reference to Michelle Obama as Barack Obama’s “baby mama,” and a fist bump between the couple as a “terrorist fist jab.”

Your two cents required: What do you think of Nas and others stepping forward and speaking out against Fox News?

I’m sorry that Sherri Sheppard was, eh, going through some things but what she did to this little boy’s head is just wrong on so many levels. Do we need to call “the people” on her over this?

Today’s break is a month past due but I couldn’t let this one miss the masses. I hurt for my people, I really do.

A fan who shouted “Free R. Kelly!” at the R&B star’s child pornography jury last month was freed from jail Wednesday after spending 33 more days in jail than her hero.

Grandmother of six Debra Triplett, 48, had been in the Cook County Jail since May 22, when she yelled the slogan twice at Kelly’s jury outside an elevator at the Criminal Courts building.

Kelly - who was cleared of child pornography June 13 - spent just one night locked up after his 2002 arrest for allegedly taping himself having sex with and urinating on his underage goddaughter.

Judge Vincent Gaughan ordered Triplett held in custody in lieu of $50,000 bail after her outburst. But unlike Kelly, who posted $75,000 to walk free while he awaited trial, Triplett and her family could not raise the $5,000 they needed to release her.

Jurors said at the time that they didn’t hear Triplett’s outburst, but speaking Wednesday, Gaughan said he had to be extra careful to protect the jury from outside influence.

I always found it fascinating that the gap in the top row of Luke’s teeth paired up almost seamlessly with the one at the bottom.

But I digress. Via press release:

Premiering on VH1 on Monday, August 4th at 10:30 PM ET/PT, “Luke’s Parental Advisory” gives viewers a look inside the day-to-day life of the man who introduced the “booty-shaking” element to hip-hop known as “Miami Bass,” and won the music industry’s biggest freedom of speech battle in the Supreme Court which resulted in warning labels on music.

Today, Luke’s hands are full with planning his wedding to Kristin, a successful lawyer and beautiful 27 year-old fiancée, giving his 17-year old daughter Lacresha’s boyfriend the third degree, and confiscating pornography tapes from under 15 year-old Luther Jr.’s bed. Also central to Luke’s life are his weekly trips to the local barbershop, Cut It Up, where the lively regulars listen to Luke pontificate and then bring him right back down to size.

I rebuke that entire highlighted section back to the pits of hell in which it came from.
