Ghostface Thinking About Retiring
Rapper Ghostface Killah seems to have had his feeling hurt by his fans and is now contemplating an early retirement. He said in a YouTube video on his website on MySpace that his record sales were terrible despite the acclaim and popularity of his music.
His latest album The Big Doe Rehab, only sold 100,000 copies. Not good when your career depends on those record sales.
"I thought y’all loved me, man," griped Ghost, Y’all n***as be hurtin’ the kid, because y’all don’t wanna go cop our CD. Y’all rather download our s**t."
After ranting about his so called "loyal fans" he mentioned putting himself into early retirement. So if you want to see more of your favourite rapper buy the downloads and go out and get the CD’s.

Chris Brown & Rihanna Ink Their Relationship With Matching Tattoos
January 30, 2008 by Jyle
Do Chris Brown and Rihanna have matching tattoos? Lauren over at Junior Stars seems to think so. she found these images of Rihanna and Chris Brown wearing matching tattoos.
It has been a long standing rumor that singers Rihanna and Chris Brown were dating. Chris Brown even told reporters that he had had a crush on Rihanna during their performance at the MTV Video Music Awards last year.
It might be a coincidence (ya right) but they now seem to be porting the same tattoos. Same style on opposite sides of their neck. No one is elaborating the significance of this, but it would seem that it’s just a matter of time before their coupleship will be announced.
Sorry ladies.
