Public Enemy: Chuck D in Australia

Posted by Bossip Staff

chuck d

Chuck D, and some stand in Public Enemy members shot out to Sydney for an appearance at Street University.  Perhaps the nameless members were part of the S1W’s, but we don’t even see Professor Griff present.  We bet that Flavor Flav character would have been a delight for the Aussies, though.  SMH

Silk and your boys Dru Hill, have definitely fell on hard times. Wanda Smith, made a couple calls and scrounged up about 50 dollars to pay for their performance in the ATL. We guess Sisqo is no longer a suspect, he is the culprit.

In the pictures below you can tell the men have not been aging well…SMH Continue »

El Debarge Popped For Rocks… Again

Posted by Bossip Staff

El Debarge was caught with Rocks again:

The “original” falsetto king El DeBarge is serving time behind bars following an encounter with police in Los Angeles. According to reports, the former DeBarge frontman was charged with possession of a controlled substance, after he was arrested on Monday the 27th of this month. The incident marks another setback for DeBarge, born Patrick Eldra DeBarge, who was arrested and jailed earlier this month after two warrants for his arrest were discovered by authorities. The singer was charged with several offenses last year, including vandalism, drugs and domestic violence.

El Debarge has been smoking rocks since the early 80′s while pimping and slappin ho’s. The 47yr old still hangs out in Compton hoods performing with DJ Quick, and we knew this was imminent. This explains one of his greatest songs, I Like It.

Update, El Debarge sent to 2 yrs in the bing about a hr ago. Poor Debarge will be doing a couple bullets, we guess, Time Will Reveal, if he can shake that rock.

For the whole article go to Livesteez and for his way back throwback, pop the hatch…. Continue »

Buckshot Shorty Hospitalized

Posted by Bossip Staff

The veteran MC Buckshot Shorty recently had seizures and was sent to emergency:

Black Moon rapper Buckshot Shorty has been hospitalized after suffering a series of seizures.  The Brooklyn-based hip-hop star was forced to seek emergency medical treatment after returning from a tour in Europe. He is currently in a stable condition in hospital. Buckshot’s hospitalization means the rap trio has been forced to reschedule a reunion concert in New York which was due to take place on Friday.  A statement from the star’s Duck Down Records music label reads, “While of course we are disappointed to have to reschedule a sold out show, obviously nothing takes precedent over Buckshot’s health. If he could walk out of that hospital on his own right now I know he would have been on that stage. He was truly looking forward to this night.” The show has been rearranged for November and disappointed fans have been offered refunds.

If you do not know who Black Moon, Buckshot Shorty, or the Boot Camp Click is than you do not know anything about the prime of hip hop. We sincerely hope he gets better and pulls through.

Click here see a video of the Boot Camp Click performing their first classic “Who Got Da Prop’s”.

Old Head Memoirs

Posted by Bossip Staff

Diahann Carroll has a memoir:

In her new memoir, “The Legs Are the Last to Go,” Diahann Carroll – the Bronx-born beauty who made history as TV’s first black sitcom star in “Julia” – portrays Poitier as a heel who convinced her and first hubby Monte Kay to divorce after confronting Kay, saying he loved Carroll and was splitting from his wife to be with her. She writes: “Sidney called me at my hotel . . . ‘You bitch, whore, tramp,’ he yelled. ‘I know he just left your bed. I won’t have you running around with other men. You belong to me!’ ” Continue »

Blast From The Past

Posted by Bossip Staff

The lead singer from the early 90′s group Color Me Badd has gotten into a wee bit of trouble for being publicly slizzard:

Former Color Me Badd singer Bryan Abrams was arrested Friday for public drunk and domestic abuse. Abrams, 38, apparently punched a woman in the nose and verbally threatened the woman by saying “I’m a kill you! You and me! You and me!” according to a police report. Police were called about 4 p.m. to SW 89 and Pennsylvania regarding a drunken man causing a domestic disturbance, according to a police report. Officers spoke with Abrams, who is said to have had slurred speech and “random sentence fragments.” They could also smell a strong odor of alcohol on his breath, according to the report. A waiter at the restaurant where the incident happened said he was setting tables when he witnessed Abrams punch the victim in the face, the report states.The victim agreed to press charges against Abrams. He was booked into the Oklahoma County jail and remains there.

Color Me Badd used to be the ish back in the day. SMH at this dude drinking up all his “I Wanna Sex You Up” checks.
