This story is a little out of bounds. The legendary NY sneaker store Fight Club apparently has the impossible to find Nike “Wu-Tang” Dunk-Hi in size 11.5 only. Go ahead and grab ‘em…they only cost $7,500 bucks! If you are really a Wu-Tang fan, you would borrow dough from your 401K; you know you want to.

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.

Obama flexed his political muscles last night:

Fifty-one percent of those polled thought Obama did the better job in Friday night’s debate, while 38 percent said John McCain did better. Men were nearly evenly split between the two candidates, with 46 percent giving the win to McCain and 43 percent to Obama. But women voters tended to give Obama higher marks, with 59 percent calling him the night’s winner, while just 31 percent said McCain won.

This is a very important time in America, and although it was a Friday night, we hope some of you had a chance to check out the first debate. We are glad to see Obama get a chance to silence some of the critics. Was it us, or did McCain have one more time to talk sh*t before he got his ass kicked? Obama is still a brother, come on now!

It appears as though Kanye won’t be doing hard time:

Los Angeles County prosecutors have decided not to file felony charges against Kanye West and his manager in regard to a recent arrest at LAX in which a paparazzo’s camera was broken. According to the Associated Press, prosecutors have yet to decide whether or not they will charge West with a misdemeanor. West was arrested on September 11, click here if you haven’t read about it, after he and his manager became involved in an altercation with a paparazzo, resulting in the rapper struggling with the photog before smashing the flash to his camera on the floor.

This should be a notice to all paparazzi, paparazzo, and whatever else they call those stalkers. Sometimes, you just gotta get the f*ck out of the way and let a brother be. If you don’t, you are at risk for getting your ass whooped, and having the judge say, “you deserved it!” Don’t stop there, Yeezy, push the limits of the law even further…

More from Faith’s book…this could get interesting:

“I was pregnant and I know exactly how it happened. I couldn’t believe it. Big and I rarely used protection and I’d only gotten pregnant once, early on in the relationship. I’d had a miscarriage before we could think about what we were going to do about it.” “I decided I was keeping this baby. I called Big to share the news.” “He didn’t sound happy or sad. Just very noncommittal. “You keeping it?” he asked. “Yeah. I am,” I said. It was a quiet moment. “Are you sure?” “Yes, I’m sure…” Big made a weary sound. “Homegirl got pregnant, too,” he said. “What does that have to do with me?” “I made her get an abortion,” he said.

Now, our girl, Faith, hasn’t been too much of a messy chick. Well, there is the whole snorting coke ordeal, cough, but we will give her a pass because this is a nice picture of her. We think this book could really shed some accurate light on her and B.I.G.’s situation and, believe it or not, we kinda want to know what the hell else popped off in their world. What do you think about her upcoming book?

Washington Mutual became the largest bank to fail in the history of the United States last night. This sh*t has hit the fan. The government seized the bank and then sold it to JP Morgan Chase. Wamu had over 300 billion in assets before collapsing. Your stacks are insured up to 100K.

Jesus The Wheel (Please!), Bush, Wallstreet mofo’s, McCain, and these other white folks have really got us into some sh*t.

Our estranged cousin, Prince, is embarking on a mission to spread the Word. Prince has been a Jehovah’s Witness since 2001 and, literally, goes around knocking on people’s doors to talk to them about the faith. Doesn’t Prince remind you of the cool ass cat in high school who had the nice ride, all the girls (and maybe boys…), but no one knew his last name? Incog-negro, if you will. Get ‘em, Prince.

If you don’t know, McLame and the Republicans were against more regulation of the mortgage industry and Wallstreet firms.

OK. Quit your fu*king playing. These guys have got to be kidding us with report, yet, we don’t think they are:

While we don’t want to minimize the truly prodigious achievements of the oft-arrested Henry Earl, the Kentucky man did not, as has been reported, get busted for the 1000th time this week. In fact, Earl–who is prone to frequent episodes of public drunkenness–actually passed that milestone in mid-2002, according to official documents. Relying on online records that only date back to 1992, bloggers and a Kentucky TV station noted this week that the 58-year-old Earl’s rap sheet hit four digits Monday when he was nabbed on a Lexington street for public intoxication. However, pre-1992 jail records reveal that Earl has actually been arrested in Fayette County a whopping 1333 times and has spent more than 5000 days in custody. His first arrest came in July 1970, when he was 20, for carrying a concealed weapon. Earl, pictured in the below mug shot array, would go on to get busted 33 more times in the 1970s, and he racked up 230 busts during the 1980s. Click here for a compendium of Earl’s arrest history from 1970-1992, which was provided by the county’s Division of Community Corrections. And if you’d like to view a typical criminal citation against Earl, who is currently incarcerated, click here. It covers his 1332nd bust, on August 31, for public intoxication.

Henry Earl has been arrested more than a thousand times?!?!?! We know we speak for everyone when we say, “Henry, go outside and get a switch…you finna get it!” SMDH.

Peep a collage of dude’s many mugshots:

Here is Nelly performing in Florida last night. We know you broads think he’s fine and all, but his album didn’t move any units:

Nelly capped his long hiatus with a disappointing No. 3 start for Brass Knuckles, his first new album in four years, which moved a relatively meager 84,000. His last albums, 2004′s simultaneously released Sweat and Suit, debuted in the top two spots with a combined 738,000 first-week copies.

Poor thang. More images from the performance below:

Gas man let them fly when he went to the clink…please read the whole story:

Meet Jose Cruz. In the long history of American jurisprudence, the West Virginia man may be the first defendant to ever be charged with passing gas in the face of a law enforcement officer. Cruz, 34, was driving with his car’s headlights off Monday night when he was pulled over by West Charleston cops, who noted that Cruz appeared to be intoxicated. After failing a series of field sobriety tests, Cruz was arrested and transported to police headquarters, where he allegedly committed another offense, according to a September 23 criminal complaint. While being fingerprinted, Cruz allegedly “lifted his leg and passed gas loudly on Ptlm. Parsons. The defendant then fanned the air with his hand in front of his rear onto” the cop. “The gas,” the complaint notes, “was very odorous and created contact of an insulting or provoking nature with Ptlm. Parsons.” In addition to the DUI count, Cruz was also charged with battery on a police officer for the farting incident. In a TSG interview, Cruz said that while he “farted multiple times,” it “wasn’t directly in [the cop's] face.” Asked if he fanned the fetid air toward the officer, Cruz admitted that he did, but said it was in retaliation for the cop insisting he take a breath test while he was having an asthma attack. “I said, ‘Here, put that in your Breathalyzer,”

A traffic ticket = $200.

Lawyer fees and DUI classes = $1000 (depending on the state in which the crime occurred)

Farting on one-time = Straight f*cking priceless!

Now that’s what you call ASSault!!!
