Mos Def was, well, doing the most at George Wein’s Care Fusion Jazz Festival on Saturday. While we appreciate Dante for his talents and sheer enthusiasm to wife up video chicks his Kyle x Kanye Bonjour Denim Jacket put us in a deep state of lamentation.

Last time I checked even creoles couldn’t get away with this.

Justin: Mos Def looks like the uncle that says he’s going to quit drinking and never does.

Fresh: This nigga got on Jim Brown’s good hat.

Justin: And I know its hot as hell wherever he’s at with that Kyle x Kanye Bonjour Denim Jacket on.

Fresh: My umi says that Frankie owns the female version of that jacket. I hope he doesn’t get pulled over wearing that shit. You know one of the front pockets has some drug paraphernalia in there from ‘88.

Justin: He looks like he straight walked off the set of Jungle Fever as Samuel Jackson’s stand in.

Fresh: He does! I wonder what type of shoes he is wearing.

Justin: Asics. The ones he found in the dumpster behind Nipsy Russell’s house.

Crunkster Lace Frontin’ sent in these new promo images from Diddy’s I Am King fragrance campaign.  Our Dick Dealers will soon be able to sport the same animal phermones that makes Kim Porter’s panty pudding fall down like the love rain Jill Scott and Mos Def talked about. We are such a blessed multitude!

. . . this still ain’t got shit on KP’s Creme of Nature perm box though. I will always stand up in vagina power with my sisters.

Mrs. Carter dashed passed photographers at the 2008 Rock the Bells concert at the Jones Beach Theatre in Wantagh, New York on Sunday. Her husband hit the stage along with other hip-hop notables including Nas, Method Man, A Tribe Called Quest and Mos Def.

Now that The Carters are happily married I think they should go ahead and get the pregnancy ball on a roll. Procreate! Procreate! Papa Joe 2.0 is always down for another money maker. Nepotism isn’t going any damn where in the Knowles world.

The former stripper and seventh grade drop-out, says she uses nicknames and aliases for the men in her upcming tell-all book, “out of respect for their wives.”

My people, my gender. When will it stop?

[1] I refuse to type video vixen on this blog. Appearing in two videos does not define you as such. Now when you are on the prolific level of Buffie the Body and can convince Gucci Mane to buy you a two piece dark meat combo and a set of alloy rims then holla at me.

Check out what the Mighty Mos Def has to say about Roger Clemens’ steroids scandal. Mos sounds like the old black men who post up in front of my local corner store playing checkers, loves it.

I want that Fresh Prince of Bel-Air inspired wallpaper joint for my office.

The mother of rapper DMX’s love child is suing the hip-hop wild man for $2 million, saying he defamed her by claiming she sexually assaulted him as he slept during their 2003 hotel one-nighter. In Sister 2 Sister magazine, DMX says Monique Wayne, who successfully sued him to establish paternity and win child support, “raped me . . . I would have been kind of heated about that [if I'd woken]. Like, yo . . . Get the [bleep] outta here.” But Wayne says DMX knows their sex romp was consensual and she’s suffered “severe emotional distress” as a result of his lies. DMX’s rep had no comment. (source)

X is having a pretty shitty week. After running into the boys in blues on Monday, he is nowfacing a misdemeanor traffic charge .I’m sure he had plenty to say about the police during his time on stage at the live recording of ‘Def Poetry VI.’

Call it Charlie Brown with a twist.

Brothers Keenen Ivory, Shawn and Marlon Wayans, of Scary Movie and In Living Color fame, have created a series of animated children’s shows, with books and toys to follow. Its name: Thugaboo. The series of three specials will premiere on Nickelodeon, then air on the network’s all-animation channel, Nicktoons, a network spokeswoman said Wednesday.

Inspired by the Wayans brothers’ favourite childhood cartoons, Thugaboo follows the misadventures of nine kids growing up in the inner city. “It’s like hard meets soft,” Shawn Wayans said. “The thug is how they dress, kind of street, but they’re good kids and they make the right decisions.” Three specials are planned – an hourlong show and two half-hour programs – centred on important times in children’s lives.
