Check out the newest video from T.I. “Slide Show” which features the vocals of John Legend.? We’re still counting down the days til Tip’s return but I lost track. All I know is there’s gonna be a helluva party when he gets out and I wanna be there….
Shouts out the DJ MLK for the heads up!
Alfamega has issued an OPEN LETTER to T.I. regarding all the drama behind his being let go from Grand Hustle. In it, Alfa addresses all the times he’s had Tip’s back and his disappointment in how everything went down.? Alfa was once coined “Grand Hustle Muscle” for his obvious devotion to T.I. and his well-being, and spills the beans about all of the altercations he played the strong arm.? I actually took a moment to read the letter last night and feel that he’s being genuine and sincere in expressing his disappointment and also in his revelations regarding incidents concerning his family, specifically his 15 year old daughter who Alfa says was confronted at the skating rink by some of Tip’s cohorts.
We all know that Tip is in jail and can’t really fight this battle right now, but Alfa is requesting at least a phone call from his former boss so that they can squash all the drama that’s going on in the streets:
Once this is published, I?m giving you a week to call me. Should you choose to not call me within that timeframe, I?ll know exactly where we stand. At that point, we?ll separate and we can get it off like Muhammad Ali v/s George Foreman in The Rumble in the Jungle. It will be what it is, you on your side of the ring and me on mine. Instead of a boxing ring, it?ll be the studios and instead of boxing gloves, it?ll be me lyrically pounding you.
I dunno what can come of this. I’m hoping for the best cause I know it’s real in the field and I don’t want to see these two Black men battle. Hopefully they can find some common ground and move forward peacefully.? Read Alfamega’s full 2 page letter to T.I. below:
“Coolin everyday, ballin everyday, Neiman Marcus hoppin I be shopping everyday…”
Check out the newest video from Bola (aka BlkBettyBoop on Twitter) from the Grand Hustle camp called “Everyday” featuring Yung L.A.? Y’all keep complaining that there aren’t any female rappers around…well here’s one for ya! Bola is one half of the group Xstaci and she seems to be able to hold it down all by herself with this song. It’s a good look….well…besides the fact that it’s all a FANTASY in this economy. It’s somebody’s reality….just not mine. *sigh*? One day….

Don’t get it twisted…I would never bash my president! President Barack Obama has been immortalized as a wax figure to be featured in Paris’ Musee Grevin wax museum.? The figure was unveiled in front of the Eiffel Tower on Monday and was escorted by two real body guards. Tourists quickly gathered around to catch a glimpse of the U.S. President, totally unaware that it was a wax figure!
The Fake President + Two Live Bodyguards
“It looks really cool,” said American tourist Emily Artes. “Everyone was joking that he was actually here and that we were gonna take pictures with him.” The hot summer sun at the Eiffel Tower also threatened to melt the fake president’s face, prompting helpers to shade him with an umbrella.
The resemblance was so uncanny ? down to the gray hair Obama is said to have acquired since the beginning of his presidential campaign.
After visiting France’s most famous monument, the statue traveled to Paris’ Musee Grevin wax museum, where it will stand alongside the likenesses of Nicolas Sarkozy, Angela Merkel and Vladimir Putin.
The sculptor says it wasn’t easy to create a model of a man that he had never met, relying solely on press releases and photos. That’s right… the creator of this masterpiece, Sculptor Eric Saint Chaffray had never even seen Obama in person!? Saint Chaffray has been creating wax statues for the museum for the past 20 years, and has worked on several American presidents in the past.
Dressed in a dark suit, the wax statue of Obama looked very serious. “We’re presenting Barack Obama at the Musee Grevin as part of a gathering of heads of state, which is why he has kind of an official attitude, a little bit stiff,” Saint Chaffray said. (Source)
