Willie from DAY 26 NAKED !

2009-09-18T08:52:00.001-07:00

Naked pictures had leaked of Day 26 bandmate Willie Taylor last month, he quickly denied their authenticity on Twitter. Today an internet hacker put out more naked pictures with his face and tattoos that confirm his identity. Willie changed his story and then said those were meant for his wife. Someone hacked into his email account and leaked the photos.

YOHH Thinks: It's always the same thing with these celebrities, how are soo easily hacked? If he was even hacked and this isn't just another publicity stunt. If you are going to have those kind of pictures on your computer either create a harder password or delete them !! Willie, no one needed to see your willie. lol

Tila Vs Shawne + Chris

2009-09-15T08:47:00.000-07:00

I bet you guys have heard about the little altercation that happened between Tila Tequila and her Ex-Boyfriend Shawne Merriman. Tila accused Merriman of hitting her and holding her against her will. Merriman sustains that we was just trying to keep her from driving under the influence. The case was dismissed because of insufficient evidence but Ms.Tequila has been going off on twitter on both Merriman and Chris Brown.

yo @mechanicaldummy and @shawnemerriman need to both be ass raped in prison! Pathetic excuses of a man. PUssy ass Bitches is what they are.

FUCK WHAT YALL SAY! IMMA CALL THEM OUT RIGHT NOW! CHRIS BROWN @MechanicalDUmmy and @ShawneMerriman are PUNK PUSSY ASS BITCHES! UR DONE!

These 2 COWARDS beat women: @MechanicalDummy & @Shawnemerriman and they both got away with it. They are PUSSY BITCHES! NOT MEN AT ALL!

Chris Brown replied with this:

“NOT TRYNA BE RUDE but i keep hearing Tila bringing my name up. ur 15
seconds of fame has ended. dont try to gain fans by dissing me.godbless.”

YOHH's Thoughts: Tila likes to talk a lot on twitter since she really doesn't do anything else that gets her any recognition. We say let her rant because getting ignored is way worse then getting acknowledged.

Donald Trumps Kanye!

2009-09-14T19:52:00.000-07:00

After Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech after she won Best Female Video at last night's Video Music Awards, Donald Trump has reportedly called for a boycott of all things Kanye-related "so this kind of thing doesn't happen again."

Yearofhiphop View: I think the boycott is kinda pointless there are many things wrong in this world. Mr. Trump have to much power to be focused on kanye west instead of something that matters like HEALTH CARE!.

Do you think this boycott is necessary or do you think donald trump should focus his time on something that matters??

Jay-Z & Alicia Keys Perform "Empire State Of Mind"

2009-09-14T07:52:00.001-07:00

Wtf was lil mama thinking at the end of the performance? She completely killed the end when she came on stage out of no where . That was disrespectful lets so how this makes or breaks her career.

Enough is Enough

2009-09-11T11:51:00.000-07:00

In this changing world we live in it's difficult to fathom the fact that people's mentalities are not able to expand and adapt to the changes as quickly as others. Knowledge is power, right? Why is it that we refuse to embrace "our" culture instead of constantly shoot it down. Someone always has an opinion of what artist are doing wrong, calling them fake, what they should be doing. Hardly do we choose to say something constructive or supportive to help lift each other up instead we are constantly bringing each other down. Everyday i read or see something on the web or on T.V that to be honest is just ridiculous and/or childish. What prompted me to write this is a 3 page article i read on HipHopDX that just disappointed me. This guy was very passionate about his feelings towards Drake and his success. He said Drake lacked struggle and has not "proven" himself and he went on the Define hip hop music as struggle. I will not say whether i am a Drake fan or not because i feel it will discredit the point i am trying to make. I don't know what century this guy is living in but music in general as evolved tremendously over time and to even attempt to define Hip Hop is absurd. There is no clear definition because you have rappers rapping about ranges of things from flossing, hoes, struggles, knowledge, to shaking your ass and so on and so forth. Isn't it all in the realm of Hip Hop? They are all at the end of the day hip hop artist.

Beefs and he said she said type things are just played out. Are we adults or are we children? Instead of focusing to heavily on what someone else is doing maybe we should focus on what we are doing, then maybe we can stop blaming other people for our lack of success or advancement. Nobody owes you anything. Understand that. Opinions are like assholes everyone has one. Learn to differentiate between relevance and just being a straight hater. There is no such thing as bad publicity, so whether you talking shit or praising them, either way your talking about them. Next time you go to say something negative about somebody take a look at yourself.

We say we love hip hop and the culture but we are the first to go in on eachother. We hinder eachother more then we help. We segregate genres like we do the culture. If everyone was the same or did the same kind of music we would be bored. As soon as someone has the balls to go outside the box we criticize that as well. I'ts a lose, lose. Open your minds and lets be trendsetters and innovators, lets set the example only then can we really evolve.

Fabolous Twitter Roast

2009-09-10T09:47:00.000-07:00

SisQo's Denying His Son !?

2009-09-09T08:33:00.001-07:00

Here is another case of a Celebrity not wrapping it up and then denying their seeds. SMH.
Sisqo denies ever being with then 14-year-old Jamilla. Now she’s 25-years-old and trying to prove that Sisqo is the father. Nothing a simple DNA test can't prove, right? He might just be watching his back because Jamilla was only 14 when he was involved with her. We will see how the story plays out. What do you think? You can't deny the resemblance.

Jay-Z Addresses T-Pain

2009-09-08T10:35:00.000-07:00

Jay-Z addresses the T-Pain incident and talks about his candid interview with Oprah on an interview with Ed Lover and Free, the Oprah interview is set to air on Sept.24.
I wonder why T-Pain waited so long to say something about D.O.A. He's not the only one that's done auto tune, why is he taking it soo personal? Maybe Jay single handedly ruined his career with one Hot Track. Who knows. The "everyone hates Jay-Z saga continues." lol

WTF?!?!? is DMX TALKIN ABOUT!

2009-09-03T16:10:00.000-07:00

DMX recently stated in a video that rapper Jay-Z is talented but has no heart and says his feelings changed towards him after he became the President of Def Jam.

In my opinion:
Dmx rambling is ..and i do mean rambling about Jay-z. What ever he is saying he needs to write it down because no one knows what he is talking about. lol this guy is the definition of the one who flew over the cuckoo's nest.

The Much Anticipated: Blueprint 3

2009-08-05T13:54:00.000-07:00

Jay-Z is back ! After the success of American Gangster, selling over 1 million records, I guess Mr. J. Hova wasn't quite ready to leave this rap shit alone. Can you blame him? I have been a huge Jay-Z fan for a while now and I can never really say i've been disapointed when an album of his drops. I must say though the follow up to the Black Album wasn't as great as it should have been but he more then made up for it with American Gangster. Now that Blueprint 3 is dropping on September 11 I must say i'm excited to see what direction he takes. Alot of people want to say that he's too old and that he should just give it up. I disagree, not only because im a fan, but because he's proven that he has the talent. Until this man drops something that is just horrible I dont think his age should be a factor. So far i like what i hear and he is a rap legend. Not many rappers have been able to stand the test of time and still remain heavily respected by peers. I say let the music speak for itself.

Meet another gifted young rapper. Amor Jones is a California born Ohio raised 18 year old with a passion for music. He's been rapping since he was 14 years old and he has no intention of slowing down. I met Amor on Twitter a few months ago and thought this a cool guy, then i found out he was a young buck. LoL. Then i checked out his music and he has a good sound. Let's jus say the interview was a long time coming. Allow me to introduce you to Mr. Epic Failure.

Get It In - Amor Jones

1. Describe Amor Jones in 5 words.
A young man with ambitions.

2. Describe your music in 3 words.
True life shit.

3. When did this music thing start for you?
I started REALLY doing this music thing in late 07. I swore I was the best rapper EVER! Haha.

4. What was your first burst of success?
My first burst of success in my mind was when I got my first blog post back on January 2nd of this year lol. First REAL burst of success was when I got posted on 2dopeboyz probably. That's one of the top blogs & just for them post me showed that people are actually hearing my music lol.

5. Is there any song of yours that you listen to now and wish you hadnt recorded?
Yeah. This song called "Lifes On The Line". It was my VERY first song & it was just awful. It was about me slangin' crack & shootin fools! Lol. In actuality, I was a 14 yr freshman who was quiet. LMAO. Ahhh good times.

6. What's in your ipod right now?
Almost everything. Really too much to name but "The Battery Effect" by D/Will, "Everybody's Nobody" by XV, "Love vs. Money" by The Dream, "Anticipation" by Trey Songz & of course "Epic Failure" by Amor Jones all are getting heavy spins with me.

Eminem Vs. Mariah Carey

2009-07-31T11:43:00.000-07:00

I bet by now you have all heard the Eminem dis track back at Mariah. I'm wondering who do you believe?? Break the songs down, i'm going to tell you why 1 track is believable and why the other one is not. Lets start at the top, Eminem has always been controversial and he says a lot of wild s**t but can you say he's not real? I mean the guy openly blast himself on his own track. Then you have Mariah Carey who is well I'm just gonna say she's a little less then real. Her song is called "Obsessed," i don't know about yall but i think that alone expains how highly she thinks of herself. I mean when was the last time Eminem even mentioned her? I think Mariah is a little embarrased with the fact that she was called out. By the lyrics on Eminem's "Warning," i think its safe to say that events took place. I think its pretty hilarious. If she did do something with him she needs to stop trying to lie about it. No one wants details about you and Shady's sexual escapades ( well maybe somebody but not me) but don't front. I think she was better off not acknowledging it cause now you got Mr. Slim Shady firing shots off. On top of that you got Mr.Carey defending your "honor" and now he's gonna get ripped. SMH. Mariah give it up your time is up and you just gave Eminem a little more ammo for his Comeback.

FINAL VERDICT: EMINEM WINS, MARIAH CAREY= WOMP
