No, Cosmo Kramer. But in part of Jigga’s interview with O magazine, he talks about how Dick Gregory’s autobiography made a difference in his life. No need for Jay to tell ya, it’s already a best seller. “I don’t know who turned me on to this autobiography, but his sense of humor and the hardships he went through stayed with me—especially the scene where he started running home from school. It led to his joining the track team, which led […]

Peep Teairra Marí tooting that thang last night at B.B. King Bar & Grill in NYC. Word is she did a similar dance to stay on The Roc. Relax, it’s just a lil’ jokey joke. Props: HHNM

You would think I was on Mr. Manda‘s payroll. Nope! Sorry B.Dot. Here’s another one from my new favorite H-Town crew. This joint is one part fun party jam, one part tribute to Mrs. Carter.

Say it ain’t so. Contrary to previous reports, Slate reveals that Roxanne Shante was never contractually signed to Warner Bros. In fact, there’s no proof that the label paid for her college education. She admits to the site that she is not a doctor nor has a license to practice psychology (or any related field) in NY state.

The Good News: Today, Good Morning America aired footage of Whitney Houston’s performance yesterday in Central Park. In front of 5,000 she ran through some oldies and goodies and even brought out her baritoned daughter, Lil Mama Bobbi Kristina to assist on “My Love Is Your Love.” The Bad News: Today, Good Morning America aired footage of Whitney Houston’s performance yesterday in Central Park.

The bridge is over, my dick! In an interview with Street Disciplez Radio, MC Shan takes a #1…and a #2 on Joe Budden. Around the 1:20 mark, he challenges Mr. Tahiry to a fair one.

Conversation probably went a lil’ something like this: “Check this out, Ms. Rhone, you know how it go, first you put me out, then you get my son. Belee Dat! 100.” Props: Young Kingz via HHNM
