The dude Obie has always had to play second fiddle to Eminem and even D-12. Dude is a hard ass rapper, and Em had him on some candy shit much of the time. If you listen to Obie’s early shit, like the “Well Known Asshole,” you’ll hear the true Obie sound. Well after listening to this new shit, it seems like Obie is on his own and has a new label and a new outlook…is it beef? Listen Up!

Our favorite racist, drug addicted, hideous-looking but somewhat dope songstress, Amy Winehouse has done it once again! This time it happened at the Glastonbury festival in the UK. Winehouse first punched a fan (see the youtube clip above) while performing. She then proceeded to mumble a few words and jump back on stage. Hilarious!

Then, while singing one of her songs, she switched up the lyrics to the song singing “At least I’m not opening for a cunt like Kanye!” Wow. Jay-Z was the headliner of the show and stirred up a shit ton of controversy with his “dis” of Noel Gallagher. I guess Amy Wino was happy she was opening for Jigga and not Kanye.

Kanye’s already responded..”AMY WHINEHOUSE HATES ME!!! NOW I’VE REALLY MADE IT!!! LOL!!!!”

This bitch is finna die from all the crack and hair-ron!

Rapper DMX was arrested in Miami for the second time this week, after attempting to buy $45 in cocaine and marijuana from an undercover police officer on Friday (Jun 26).

He is currently in custody at the Miami-Dade County jail.

According to the police, 37-year-old DMX, born Earl Simmons, approached the officer, requesting to purchase “30 powder and 15 weed.”

Upon handing cash to the officer, DMX was taken into custody. His arrest is part of an ongoing undercover sting.

DMX was also arrested on Monday (Jun 22) on a warrant for driving without a valid license, and was later released after posting a $500 bond.

The embattled rapper also has a pending trial in Arizona, where he faces drug and animal cruelty charges, following a raid of his Maricopa County home.

So the streams (no pun intended) of people who’ve seen the infamous R Kelly sex piss tapes must’ve got it all wrong. I guess Mr. Bump N’ Grind has a mole on his back and the R Kelly in the sextape did not have such a mole. Peep the story below. Now, will someone convict Mr. Kelly for the bitchassness of the “In the Closet” Series asap!

Jurors deliberated for less than one day; singer faced 15 years in prison
CHICAGO - A jury acquitted R. Kelly on all counts of child pornography after less than a day of deliberations Friday, ending an ordeal for the R&B superstar that began when he was charged six years ago.

The Grammy award-winning singer dabbed his face with a handkerchief and hugged each of his four attorneys after the verdict was read. The singer had faced 15 years in prison if convicted.

Prosecutors had argued that a graphic sex tape showed Kelly having sex with a girl as young as 13 at the time. Both Kelly, 41, and the now 23-year-old alleged victim had denied they were on the tape. Neither testified during the trial.

The prosecution’s star witness was a woman who said she engaged in three-way sex with Kelly and the alleged victim. Defense attorneys argued the man on the tape didn’t have a large mole on his back; Kelly has such a mole.

The monthlong trial centered on whether Kelly was the man who appears on a sexually graphic, 27-minute videotape at the heart of the case, and whether a female who also appears on it was underage.

Over seven days presenting their case, prosecutors called 22 witnesses, including several childhood friends of the alleged victim and four of her relatives who identified her as the female on the video.

In just two days, Kelly’s lawyers called 12 witnesses. They included three relatives of the alleged victim who testified they did not recognize her as the female on the tape.

Kelly’s hits include “I Believe I Can Fly,” “Bump N’ Grind” and “Ignition.”
