The Game Compares Anti-Sagging Law to Modern Day Slavery
Rapper The Game is speaking out against a New Jersey ban that prohibits sagging pants on the world famous boardwalk. The law bans the wearing of pants that sag 3 inches below the hips, exposing skin or underwear.
But Game, whose real name is Jayceon Terrell Taylor, is outraged by the anti-sagging law which he compares to slavery.
Like most rappers, The Game is blissfully ignorant to the fact that most decent citizens do not want to see the color and brand of underwear he has on.
Bus Company Cancels ‘Ghetto’ Tours
A bus company has cancelled tours that promised tourists a glimpse into the seedier side of New York “from a safe distance.”
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the company, Real Bronx Tours, cancelled the tours amid outrage from local residents.
Three times a week, the $45 tour gave foreign visitors a glimpse at food lines, drug dealers chilling outside corner bodegas, seedy housing projects, and a park described as a pickpocket hangout.
The tour website described the Bronx as a borough that was “notorious for drugs, gangs, crime and murders.”
Rapper Rick Ross is a sophisticated art connoisseur
Who says rappers can’t be cultured connoisseurs of good taste? Rapper Rick Ross proves you don’t have to be sophisticated to appreciate the arts. The former Miami corrections officer made his first foray into the art world by purchasing this Richard Mosse photograph entitled Love is the Drug, from the Jack Shainman booth at Art Basel exhibition in Miami Beach. Ross Instagram’d a photo of himself posing in front of his major purchase with Warner Music Group Chairman and CEO Lyor Cohen. Ross captioned the photo: “Just purchased my 1st piece from Art Basel w/my lil homie Lyor. #bossup”
Chris Brown Hires Karrueche
Rihanna’s boyfriend, Chris Brown, has figured out a way to keep his ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, around him without raising suspicion.

Debates rage over pics of ‘Nina Simone’ actress Zoe Saldana wearing nappy afro wig
Over the weekend I received angry emails from readers concerned about photos of actress Zoe Saldana wearing a nappy afro wig and dark makeup in her role as the late jazz singer Nina Simone.
The 34-year-old ‘Colombiana’ star was chosen for the part from a list of dark skinned singers and actresses who were more qualified for the part.
Fans of Nina Simone have begun circulating a petition in hopes of garnering enough signatures to present to the filmmakers.
“Playing Nina Simone could be one of the more definitive roles as far as biopics go–it’s not that Saldana a talented actress, but it’s hard to imagine there isn’t another Black actress out there who couldn’t evoke a better Nina,” writes Hellobeautiful.com.
Video: Hip Hop’s Negative Influence On Our Children Pt 4
Here is another sad sign of the times we are living in. This home video features a St. Louis mother exposing her breasts and dancing in a lewd sexually suggestive manner in front of her two young children. The woman’s young son encourages his mother’s raunchy behavior as another woman can be heard laughing off-camera. “Look at this booty,” says the boy pointing at his mother.
‘Alex Cross’ worst opening for a Tyler Perry movie
Actor/director Tyler Perry has the same problem that RuPaul was faced with when he peaked in the late 1990s: RuPaul was a drag queen who wanted to be taken seriously.
As an artist you never want to stray too far from your comfort zone. Once you alienate your fan base it’s difficult to win them back. With that being said, Perry, 43, suffered his worst box office opening ever with his latest movie, Alex Cross.
