Wu-Tang Clan Associates Busted On Drug Charges…

http://z.about.com/d/politicalhumor/1/0/w/d/rove_arrested.jpg

According to reports, eight men were taken in by police Monday night.

The incident occurred on I-40 near exit 276. According to West Memphis, Arkansas Police Chief Robert Paudert, “The criminal interdiction unit last night was working the interstates as they normally do, they saw this tour bus coming through.” The bus was pulled over for doing 70 in a 65. Paudert stated that there may have also been a problem with the registration.

Captain Donald Oakes says the odor was very strong as officers approached the bus. “When the officer approached the bus, it was like a Cheech and Chong movie. He smelled the odor and at that point he knew.” The two most notable arrests include rappers DJ Mathematics and Streetlife. The two have performed with the Wu Tang Clan on numerous occasions. Oakes says their arrest does not send a positive message to young people. “What does it tell our kids? It says hey, this guy whose album you bought, it’s okay for him to ride down the street and smoke marijuana. Well this arrest proves it’s not.”

They also say they noticed blunts and residue were laying in plain sight. They also claim to have found 110 ecstasy tablets hidden in a can that contained $8,615 in cash.

Clipse Speak On Ex-Manager Anthony “Geezy” Gonzalez

http://www.exclaim.ca/images/up-1clipse.jpg

“If the good die young, then the greats go to jail,” Pusha T raps on the Clipse’s new single, “Doorman.”

The duo have been reflecting on the incarceration of their manager and friend, Anthony “Geezy” Gonzalez. Last month, Geezy struck a plea deal for one federal drug conspiracy charge as well as one firearm charge. As much as it hurts to not have their friend with them, the Clipse said they have to go on with their lives and careers.

“The show don’t stop, we know what we gotta do,” Malice, who tweeted, “We luv u GZ!” in the wake of Geezy’s court outcome, said. “So we’re out here doing it. The situation has been hard as well as heartbreaking. But I got the faith everything is gonna work out for the best. I believe everything happens for a reason. We still take care of our fam. We never leave our fam behind.”

“Geezy’s good,” Pusha insisted. “Yeah, he’s alright,” Malice concurred.

“Everybody is good. It’s Geezy, it’s a few more too,” Pusha detailed. “Y’all just know Geezy, but everybody is our brother. Every time we talk to them, nobody is hanging their head. Ain’t no crybabies. We got real soldiers in the family. Everything is gonna work out alright.”

According to The Virginian-Pilot, Geezy is scheduled to be sentenced on January 11.

The Clipse release their next LP, Till the Casket Drops, on December 8. Guests include Yo Gotti — not Drake — on “Showin’ Out.” Fabolous also appears on a remix of “Kinda Like a Big Deal.” (Kanye West appeared on the original.)

Jay-Z Signs British Pop Group “The Ting Tings” To Roc Nation….

Jay-Z is giving British pop duo The Ting Tings a helping hand in the U.S. – he’s signed the band to his new record label.
The That’s Not My Name hitmakers shot to fame in Europe last year (08), but they have yet to replicate the same level of success In America, where their debut album, We Started Nothing, peaked at number 78 in the Billboard 200.
But the Empire State of Mind rapper is a big fan of The Ting Tings and has signed them up to his Roc Nation label to help boost their profile in America.

And he’s hoping to collaborate with bandmates Katie White and Jules De Martino to produce some new tracks.
A source says, “Jay is hoping to lend his production skills to some new material. “The staccato rhythmic style of The Ting Tings sits well with what he does best so that was the attraction. “Jay can make them one of the biggest bands across the pond.”

The Ting Tings follow in the footsteps of fellow British pop group the Sugababes, who inked a deal with Roc Nation earlier this year (09).

Successful Black Women Don’t Get Enough Sex & Successful Black Men Tend to Marry Outside Their Race

Successful black woman don’t get enough sex and most of them don’t get married, which is more proof to my blog about men making “hoes” their wife. Michelle Obama may have become an archetypal African-American female success story — law career, strong marriage, happy children — but the reality is often very different for other highly educated black women.

They face a series of challenges in navigating education, career, marriage and child-bearing, dilemmas that often leave them single and childless even when they’d prefer marriage and family, according to a research study recently presented at the American Sociological Society’s annual meeting in San Francisco.

I found this article which basically states, that more men are making wives of easier, freakier and more sexually free women, or at least I like to think that is the case. We all know a lot of men think with their ’small heads’ more than they do their big heads. Take Lamar Odom for instance, he kicked it w/ Taraji Henderson and asked her to marry him, she said no! He kicked it w/ Khloe and married her in 2 weeks.

I’m sure I could end the blog here but successful black woman aren’t made of sugar and spice and everything nice. They have some evil in them. Every black female boss I ever had a mean streak. They tend to be married to their career and can’t give the man the one thing he truly needs to stroke his ego. Time. Let’s not forget that men are the new women and things change. Fact is “marriage chances for highly educated black women have declined over time relative to white women.” Mainly because these successful black women don’t wanna be baby mamas. So not only are they single, they are also childless, and die that way.

I found that they feel like I’ll do these “freaky” things to my man, and they don’t get enough practice at them or they feel like things like vehicular fellatio are beneath them. Of course it is, because she’s a lady. Meanwhile chicks all over the globe are doing more things quicker, faster and better. Most men will take a woman w/ the bedroom skills of a porn star over a novice with clout at her job. An OG broke it down to me like this: If you get offered 2 jobs, one w/ benefits and one without which one are you going to take? On the flip side, if you got to hire one person, and one of them already has the skills and the other one you’ll have to train… I mean guess who is going to get the job. Now I’ll give in to the argument that there is a such thing as being too qualified. I mean even I wouldn’t allow Karrine to suck me off, but I digress.

Maybe Black women are just too smart to get caught up in the game of giving it up and not getting called back. Maybe they are just focused. There are things more important that sex, like money and success. Yet, what I find most interesting is this:

“A greater negative reaction falls on them…” Clarke said.

African heritage is devalued compared with European or Asian heritage. African-American females, even with lots of education, do not fetch as much “value” in the marriage market.

That may be a cold way to look at love, romance, and sex, but studies dating back to the 1980s support it.

Of course if highly educated black women felt free to have children outside of marriage, they could still have a family. When some white women make that choice it is often seen as a kind of liberal empowerment.

But according to Clarke, black women are concerned about looking “ghetto.” Public interpretation of our actions matter for everyone, but especially for black women, Clarke explained. “When it comes to the issue of black women and should or should they not make a choice to have a child alone, these women are very much aware that the decision to do it makes people question their class status. We associate single unwed child bearing with poor African-American women.”

And Just in case you were wondering about successful Black men.

Highly educated black men tend to “outmarry” (marry outside race, religion or ethnicity) at a higher rate than black women, researchers say. Think of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates or Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Both married white women.

The D.C. Sniper’s Execution……

http://images.mirror.co.uk/upl/m4/sep2009/8/9/john-allen-muhammad-pic-ap-image-2-716169685.jpg

JARRATT, Va. — John Allen Muhammad, the mastermind behind the sniper attacks that left 10 dead, was executed Tuesday as relatives of the victims watched, reliving the killing spree that terrorized the Washington, D.C., area for three weeks in October 2002.

The 48-year-old Muhammad looked calm and stoic, but was twitching and blinking, tapping his left foot as the injections began, defiant to the end, refusing to utter any final words. Victims’ families sat behind glass while watching, separated from the rest of the 27 witnesses, who were quiet, looking straight forward, intent on what was happening.

“He died very peacefully, much more than most of his victims,” said Prince William County prosecutor Paul Ebert, who witnessed Muhammad die by injection at 9:11 p.m. at Greensville Correctional Center, south of Richmond.
