Jay-Z is a Devil Worshipper!
February 4, 2010 by stephaniehoff
The title got you, didn’t it? So, you’ve probably caught wind of the current criticism circled around Jay-Z and camp by now. Headlines are calling Beyonce, Rihanna and Jay-Z everything from Freemason/ Illuminati to Devil Worshipping demons. I’ve watched a handful of youtube flicks upwards of 45 minutes long dissecting music videos for satanic imagery and Freemason symbols. Some even go as far as playing records backwards to hear evil word repetition in the beats. I’ve got a little conspiracy theory of my own and it has nothing to do with the devil and everything to do with free publicity. …read more

Just want to shine a spotlight on 90’s rapper Apache who died last Friday of an unknown protracted illness.

His first appearance was in 1990 as the front man of Queen Latifah’s Flavor Unit on The 45 King Presents The Flavor Unit album. Apache worked with Fat Joe, Naughty By Nature and A Tribe Called Quest among others. He will be missed.

Nelly Offers $10,000 Reward to Snitches
December 28, 2009 by stephaniehoff
So get this, Nelly’s Missouri mansion got robbed earlier this month. Yep and just incase he wasn’t hated enough, today he’s announced his partnership with police to find the culprit. He’s offering a $10,000 reward in addition to the CrimeStoppers reward for information that could lead police to the felony arrest of the individual(s) responsible.
I’m not saying that the rich deserve to get jooked, but I’ve got very little sympathy especially when they happen to be bubble gum rappers at the same time. But that’s just my humble opinion, that one he did with Rick Ross was tight though!

“People aren’t hearing all the music. Artists and producers work hard in the studio perfecting their sound. But people can’t really hear it with normal headphones. Most headphones can’t handle the bass, the detail, the dynamics. Bottom line, the music doesn’t move you.With Beats, people are going to hear what the artists hear, and listen to the music the …read more
Lil Wayne Argues Gun Charges
Lil Wayne’s lawyers challenged the validity of a new forensic test that links a persons DNA with a weapon. The gun in question is an illegal gun that was tossed out of Lil Wayne’s tour bus window after being pulled over by police in NY. Police said they pulled over the bus after they noticed marijuana smoke extruding from the windows after a hip hop concert. The Louis Vuitton bag they saw being tossed out of a window contained an illegal hand gun.
