CHICAGO NO LONGER SENDING POLICE FOR CERTAIN 911 CALLS?!
OK, perhaps not anarchy but this has to be a major messages to criminals out there that there is a green light on certain crimes in Chicago. I must say this is disgustingly reckless nad likely more of a political move than a move toward efficient public service. See the video below.
Hmmm, those advocating to sustain gun rights just got another talking point. Reminds me of a song by Nas.
WOULD YOU FORGIVE COCO?
Since Coco has finally spoken on her cheating on Ice-T with no-name rapper AP.9, … exactly, would you forgive her? Here is what she said:
“Ice is right, the pics I took with this man were in poor taste & I disrespected my husband–however, the pics were the only thing that happened. Do I want to set the record straight? No,” she said. “Because it’s old news and those pictures with [Moose Diesel] are old too. People are going to think what they think and there’s nothing I can do about it. But people were also saying my booty was fake too. No matter what I said or did, so there’s nothing I can do about either.”
There is no talk of divorce so hopefully this marraige can survive the drama but I have to ask would you forgive Coco?
I think its only fair to say, as a Hip Hop head I only care about this ratchetness because one of the G.O.A.T.’s is involved. Back to real life.
COUPLE TAKES BODY RESISTANCE TRAINING TO A NEW LEVEL
I have never seen anything this intense before. This is like a physical trainer’s wet dream! Honestly if a trainer can have me and my girl (yes Kelly Rowland that’s you) doing everything in this video, then those extortion rates you charge would be worth every penny.
This makes a huge arguement for body resistive training. Watch the video below and be impressed (If your are reading this via the email subrscription you have to click the article to see).
JAY-Z SIGNS TIMBALAND TO ROC NATION

Does this seem stupid to anyone else?; lol millionaire diva problems.
CHANGE IS COMING AND WITH IT, POSSIBLY THE END OF CABLE TV!
I read an article in the new GQ (I suggest you read it too) that infromed me of the new, bold investment to the tune of 300 million dollars that Netflix is making in original programming! For people outside of the US, namely Canada, this is a massive deal. We (Canadians in Toronto) pay anywhere from $45 – $65 before taxes a month for digital quality cable. I personally have a package that includes hundreds of channels, costs roughly $55 per month once bundled with other services and I barely watch much more than news and the VIBE music channel. Albeit I love my HDPVR box, pausing and rewinding live TV is God sent but I have been thinking of scrapping cable for a minute now.
Enter Netflix; Netflix has invested millions in directors and producers to produce high
quality, original programming which they feel will set them ahead of their main competitor HBO. In the words of one the Netflix execs quoted in the article, (paraphrasing) “We are trying to become better at what they do before they figure out how to become better at what we do”. Netflix wants you to see the future the way they do; no waiting, your favourite TV shows available one entire season at a time plus movies for you to consume as you wish at a cost of only $8 per month. This would also free producers to make episodes as long as or as short as the integrity of the program dictates; creative freedom. This is a gamble with many of the risks outlined in the GQ article; I sincerely hope you read it. The edition shouldn’t be too hard to find, its the one with the cover that is getting all the attention this month 
ASAP ROCKY IS ONLY THE 5TH NEW YORK RAPPER TO CHART #1 IN 5 YEARS
Asap Rocky may have a single called “F*cking Problems” but unless he is speaking on Biggie’s more money more problems issues, we aren’t to sympathetic.
Rocky’s album, according to Soundscan has just charted at number 1 on the Billboard 200 charts with 138,503 units sold in the first week.
Come on East coast, there has been a lot of talk of about wanting your spot back. If you want some shine I’d say 2013 is your best chance in a long time. I believe Frenchie is up next and there are high expectations for Pusha T. Meanwhile, salute to the South for holding me down the last couple of years. This may sound harsh but if I were left only with what the rest of the industry has been pushing, I may have lost interest a long time ago.
Next Up ….
EAST COAST HIPHOP MAY GET IT’S SECOND COMING SOON
Angela Yee let some insider info leak during an interview with Vado. Word is MMG is courting Juelz Santana and that DJ Khaled’s ‘We The Best’ is courting Vado. Coincidence that both have new mixtapes and coming material?; come on playboy you know better than that. Nothing increases the budget during bargaining like a healthy buzz on the streets.
Remember Busta Rhymes has an album coming with CMB, French Montana with Bad Boy and the Lox and Wu-Tang are rumoured to be releasing projects soon!
