Chicago Clergy Calls For Ban On Blunts

A Bishop in Chicago and other anti-drug supporters are calling for a ban on “blunt wraps”, a type of tobacco leaf paper often used to roll marijuana.

Bishop Larry Trotter, the head of Sweet Holy Spirit Church, brought examples of the blunt wraps to church Sunday and spoke against them saying,

“We need to stop people from bringing things and making them available to our children and making them drug addicts….Having this product in mainstream stores is like having drug pushers in our neighborhoods. Blunt wraps are an indefensible product marketed to children and entirely identified with illegal drug use."


Trotter plans to circulate a petition to pass on to politicians in hopes of getting an anti-blunt law in place.

Until then he's calling for local convenience stores to stop the sales of the illegitimately used products.
Ehhh….an anti-blunt law?

Too much or just enough?

One Injured In George Wythe HS Fire

George Wythe High School in Richmond was briefly evacuated Monday afternoon after a fire inside a school restroom.

According to Richmond fire officials, a security officer discovered the fire in a trash can inside a girls' restroom around 1 p.m. The officer took the trash can outside. Richmond Fire Department spokesperson Lt. Shawn L. Jones said the officer suffered smoke inhalation.

A student was taken to the hospital around the same time for a medical condition unrelated to the fire.

Students were allowed back inside a short time after being evacuated.

Jones did not say what may have started the fire.

B.G. Signs Back With Cash Money Records *Video*

With the addition of Cory Gunz to the stable, it has been reported that rapper B.G. has returned home and signed back with Cash Money Records.

Although money troubles in the past caused a rift in the business and personal relationship between the rapper and Birdman, it looks like the time away has allowed B.G. to get his business mentality up to par to ensure that what happened to him before won’t happen again.

It feels like the Hot Boyz reunion is coming a lot closer as days progress.

Already building his relationship back with Mannie Fresh, Juvenile and Lil Wayne, the vintage Cash Money army is starting to make their return.

Speaking with HipHopWired, B.G. spoke on becoming a free agent after the release of Too Hood 2 Be Hollywood and what it would take to be back with Cash Money and Birdman.

“If the numbers right, if it makes sense .”

He also spoke on how Baby attempted to help B.G. be released from Atlantic Records.

“E1 called Atlantic and asked them what they doing with me. What’s the hold up on B.G’s album? He offered them a deal, baby offered them a deal to and they turned him down. I guess, they don’t want to see me win or not. Everything worked out perfect, it couldn’t be better.”

Similar to the possibility of L.O.X. doing business with Diddy again, let’s hope that B.G. has smartened up since then and won’t make the same mistake.

Check a video below of B.G. when he had his initial issues with Birdman’s “shady” business.

Dr. Dre Connects With Hewlett-Packard For $40 Million Ad Campaign

Legendary Hip-Hop producer Dr. Dre has been tapped to be a part of a $40 million dollar Hewlett-Packard advertising campaign.

The eight-week campaign is titled “Let's Be Amazing” and features Dr. Dre in his recording studio expounding on the benefits of the HP Beats computing system.

In addition to the commercial featuring the Aftermath CEO, comedian Rhys Darby and photographer Annie Leibovitz among others are also scheduled to be featured in the campaign.

“The laptop is the new stereo for a lot of people and that's why we're putting out this computer with incredible sound,” Dr. Dre said of his new notebook PC.

The spots are part of Hewlett-Packard's attempt to redefine itself to their consumer base, in addition to giving the company some “personality and distinction.”

The producer's HP ENVY 15 Beats limited edition notebook PC is a collaboration between Dr. Dre, Jimmy Iovine of Interscope and HP's engineers.

General Larry Platt Sued Over “Pants On The Ground”

General Larry Platt, the American Idol contestant who received national attention for his song “Pants On The Ground”, is now facing backlash for his hit anthem.

General Platt recently recorded an official version of his homegrown theme song with the assistance of “This Is Why I'm Hot” rapper Mims.

According to distribution company American King Music, they funded the studio sessions and General Platt owes them money for “expenses related to producing, writing and recording of Mr. Platt's official recording of the single.”

Attorney Leron Rogers of Hewitt & Rogers released a statement on behalf of the distribution company saying,

“My client, American King Music, who funded Mr. Platt's recording session with Mims, would like to compensate Mr. Platt for the sales of the full-length hit song ‘Pants on the Ground' which we made available on iTunes. However, Mr. Platt and his representatives have failed to take care of Mr. Platt's obligations.”


As previously reported this is not the first time General Platt has faced controversy over his song.

“The Green Brothers” cried foul over the success of his song because it was too close to their musically inclined tune “Backpockets On The Floor.”

They have yet to take legal action against the General.

ATL Housewife Kim Zolciak Says "Ni**er" on Kandi Burress UStream Show [Video]

We all know that the Real Housewives is always full of drama, but the favorite white girl Kim Zolciak has always got a pass.

Well, I think she took her a pass a little too far when she said the word “N*g*er” twice on Kandi's UStream show, “Kandi Koated Nights.”

“Kandi Koated Nights” is a show which Kandi and her crew, Nikki Nicole, Corey and Neeq, all read viewers emails and discuss topics promoting safe sex and ranging from cucumber dildos to exploring different ways to please your man/woman in a relationship.

The show normally has a pretty light hearted undertone with a lot of clowning and jokes.

[Peep the video and more as Kim crosses the line] [More]

Wednesday (March 10) Kandi featured Bravo family members Kim Vo (“Shear Genius”) and fellow Atlanta Housewife Kim Zolciak, towards the end of the show while describing her favorite NWA moment, Kim Z. states”

“Yeah, I remember listening to NWA back in the day, one of my favorite songs was the one where he talks about the girl p&@*y poppin. Ya'll know NWA, Niggers With Attitudes, it was 15 years ago but we still love it.”

Noticeably the crew was a little taken a back as Kandi pulled Kim to the side (out of camera shot) to discuss the incident. After discussing it with Kim Z, Kandi returns on camera and states:

“I know everyone was a little shocked by Kim saying the real word for N in N.W.A., but this is real TV, anyway it was crazy. We had a fun night and we hope to see you guys back.”

It seems like when it rains it pours. I don't know about you guys but there must be an epidemic where the Caucasian race is getting bit by the racist bug. First John Mayer, then Twilight Star Robert Pattison and now Kim Zolciak?!

Normally I don't condone violence, but someone needs to slap the wig off of Kim's head. On a previous reunion show, Kim explained to co-star NeNe Leakes that she was not a racist, now in no way am I calling Kim racist, but at some point you have to draw the line.

But enough of what I think, check out the video (peep the 1:40-1:45 mark) and let me know what you think, was it a big deal or was she excused?

To all the people we gave a pass that turned around and slapped us in the face, BOW!
