Isn’t it obvious why I decided to post “Goodies” as todays flashback? It isn’t? OK I’ll explain: I did it because I want you guys to reminisce about way back when…to a time when y’all used to actually like Ciara so that you can go cop that album. 😕
Ciara’s Fantasy Ride in stores Tuesday, May 5th!
My twitter friend Ms. Stylistic tried to get me to watch this yesterday but I saw the title and promptly refused. There is no way I could possibly watch a video called “Turn My Fag On” [an obvious spoof to SoujaBoy Tellem’s “Turn my Swag On”] and get any work done at all…but then I saw it posted over at Fresh’s house I was perusing for links and I couldn’t resist pressing play.
“Hop up out the bed, turn my fag on…took a look in the mirror said ‘what’s tea’…eowwwww. How U Dewin” Yeah!”
*sigh* All I know is…y’all need to come get Tyler Perry’s lil brother before he hurt himself!

I’m about 5 days late for the world premiere of Diddy’s “Diddy Bop” video but here it is. Better late than never…right? The song features A-town favorite, Yung Joc,? who’s currently vying to be Diddy’s new right hand man *pause* 😕
One question: How old is too old to be rappin about poppin bottles and jump-offs? I ain’t mad at Diddy for tryna keep up with the youngstas in the club…but I am mad at him for taking his shirt off in this video. Oh and speaking of jump offs…Diddy is featured today on Tales of a Groupie where a former jump off reveals:
Any ladies who get the chance to f*ck diddy- go for it. If you do [make sure] you put in work heavy, if so, you’ll have a friend for life.
Awwww. How sweet. Video and DL link under the cut:
Young Jeezy was scheduled to perform today at The University of Deleware, however the concert was canceled by officials yesterday (April 29) after an outbreak of the highly contagious Swine Flu. The concert, which was to feature Young Jeezy and upcoming rapper Drake, was scheduled for 8:00 PM tonight at UD?s Bob Carpenter Center.
UD President Patrick T. Harker announced that the concert, as well as a speaking engagement with noted journalist Gwen Ifill would be canceled, because 10 students on campus were suspected of having the deadly H5N1 avian influenza.
?While the Centers for Disease Control have not yet confirmed any swine flu diagnoses, I have no doubt that these suspected cases are causing a great deal of concern among the entire campus community,? University of Delaware President Patrick T. Harker said. ?The University’s first priority is the health and well-being of our students and employees. Therefore, we are working closely with the Delaware Division of Public Health (DPH) to safeguard student, staff, and faculty health.? (Source)
Sorry folks. We can’t have my boo in harms way! You can, however check out his recent visit to Indiana University under the cut:
Atlanta newstation WSB-TV obtained video footage of Andre 3000’s speeding arrest last month. The video shows Dre’s 1997 Porsche Carrera pulling over on the highway and his subsequent arrest by a Henry County officer. He was stopped for driving 109mph (44 miles over the speed limit) down interstate 75 and was arrested due to his excessive speed.
Dre?explained to the officer that he was in a hurry because he had to get to a friend?s birthday party. He has since paid a $1200 fine and moved on with his life. I just hope he’s speeding right now into the studio with Big Boi for that new Outkast project…
