Here’s another classic case of good old fashion culture-jacking:

Professor Ferenc Szasz argued that so-called rap battles, where two or more performers trade elaborate insults, derive from the ancient Caledonian art of “flyting”. According to the theory, Scottish slave owners took the tradition with them to the United States, where it was adopted and developed by slaves, emerging many years later as rap.

Get a load of these two snow bunnies to whom Eddie Murphy crooned. SMH at that poor thang on the left looking like a 10 year old white boy who cross dresses in that bikini. Damn those cakes.

We knew Yeezy was a strange bird, but this is on some other ‘ish:

A source said: “Kanye has started this strange new ritual of chanting these spiritual songs. He thinks it rids his space of ghosts and spirits.

“He reckons his singing will improve if he gets rid of the demons.”

Lordy, Lord. Fetch a pail of water and run ’round yonder to get Pastor Matthews and Sister Henrietta, for Kanye is in need of some salvation. Poor thang.

It looks like Netflix and On Demand movie orders will be skyrocketing:

A man angry that a family was talking during a movie threw popcorn at the son and then shot the father in the arm, according to police in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

James Joseph Cialella, 29, was charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and weapons violations, a police report said.

Cialella told the family sitting in front of him in the theater on Christmas Day to be quiet, police said.

An argument ensued while others at the Riverview Movie Theatre watched “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

Cialella then approached the family from the left side of the aisle and shot the father, who was not identified, as he was standing between Cialella and his family, according to the police report.

The victim was taken to Jefferson Hospital with a gunshot wound to his left arm, police said.

Cialella was carrying a Kel-Tec .380-caliber handgun clipped inside his sweatpants, police said. He was arrested and taken into custody.

Foolish stuff like ignoring people, switching seats, or just asking for a refund are things of the past. Why, ya’ll? That’s it, Jesus, we’re pulling over at the next exit, and you’re taking the wheel.

Watch out for these crazy department stores, because their eyes are on our stacks more than ever:

J.C. Penney Co. is offering free wake-up calls to rouse department-store shoppers at 5:30 a.m. Friday. From the time the store opens until 1 p.m., the stores will offer 100 “doorbuster” deals, twice as many as last year, including 50% off Ralph Lauren-designed American Living sportswear line, 70% off gold and sterling-silver jewelry and juniors holiday sweaters for $9.99.

Bossip folk, who’s getting that wake up call to check for those sales? Damn, ya’ll…don’t do it. Save your money. SMH

Alright ya’ll…what’s wrong with this picture?  We’ll give you a hint: real black men don’t even wear Adidas and Nike attire at the same time, let alone on the same arm.

Where does this leave the say…millions of people who don’t believe in Jesus?  Diddy should probably think about putting his thoughts down on paper so that an actual smart person can come through and edit them before he gets to talking.  SMH

We haven’t heard much about this slack jawed MC as of late, but make no mistake, Eve is making moves:

Eve will star in an upcoming episode of CBS series Numb3rs. During the episode, Eve plays a representative at a sneaker company who becomes a suspect, after a pair of valuable sneakers is stolen and passed through the hands of a criminal network. Numb3rs is a drama centered around an FBI agent and his brother, who is a mathematical genius. Together they help the Bureau solve crimes throughout the Los Angeles area.

Let’s hope she’s got an album in the work’s or something. If being on some 3rd rate CBS drama is the highlight of her career, she may want to consider firing her agent. SMH.
