Unimaginable : Mom Has Baby, Then Wakes Up With No Arms Or Legs [Video]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on May 14, 2010 at 5:41pm


Video After The Jump

DALLAS — Petty complaints of a comfortable marriage have all melted away for Katy and Al Hayes.
The loving couple already had two children, but the arrival of their third child changed everything.
The last thing Katy really remembers is giving birth at her Houston-area home on February 10.

And then this:

"Waking up in the hospital with no arms and legs. And going, 'What's going on here?' And then he tells me. And his story will knock your socks off, cause I had no idea I was going through all that."

Katy Hayes was unconscious the entire time — unaware that a common Group A strep infection had set in, eating away at her body.

She was unaware of the incredibly difficult decision her husband made for surgeons to amputate her arms and legs in the hope that they could save her life.

"I decided that I loved her so much that the risk was worth it," Al Hayes said. "And if we came out and I had to spend a lifetime taking care of her that the risk was worth it to say that I didn't give up on her. Right? She's my best friend."

At first, Al admits he wondered if Katy would forgive him. He wondered if she could have a full life without a full body.

There is no doubt now.

"It's a complete miracle that I'm alive, so I'm so grateful... I'm so grateful," Katy said. "I wouldn't be here for my kids if they wouldn't have taken my arms and legs."

Katy Hayes may not have limbs, but she does have life and all that it represents.

"I've got three beautiful children, so I'm doing good," she said.

Katy says she will one day learn to walk — perhaps at the same time as her baby girl.
Doctors call Katy Hayes' recovery a miracle, saying she had less than a five percent chance of survival.

Group A strep is a bacterium found in the throat and on the skin. It typically causes mild illnesses, like a sore throat or a skin infection.

Katy Hayes' case is rare because the bacteria infected her muscles, fat, and skin tissue.

Tony Yayo Hints At 50 Cent's Big Plans For G-Unit "We Were Gonna Go The Independent Route, But 50 Has Something Else Up His Sleeve"

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on May 14, 2010 at 1:00pm


50 Cent warned rappers a long time ago "this is chess not checkers." The industry is about to witness the ultimate chess move by the G-Unit boss according to Tony Yayo.

While not spilling the beans completely on what 50 has planned, Yayo did tell XXL in a brand new interview that something big is coming.

“We was gonna go the independent route, ’cause we put out ‘Beamer, Benz or Bentley,’ all that’s independently,” he added. “That’s with no machine.” But it seems like 50 has something else up his sleeve."

Tony also talked a little bit about how being dropped from Interscope turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

“When I got dropped, I’m not gonna front. I was a little down about it,” he explained. “It’s not like it was because of the money, because Interscope, they advanced me for my second album. So I got money that I didn’t even deserve."

Everything happens for a reason, with his upcoming role in the movie 'S.W.A.T. :Firefight' and 50's big plans, things are coming back into focus for Tony Yayo and G-Unit.

“God works in mysterious ways and good things is happening now,” he told the Mag “The new opportunities are coming. I don’t wanna talk too much about them either ’cause I don’t wanna ruffle any feathers or anything, but 50 is definitely bringing G-Unit back to where it needs to be. “

Malaysia Islamists Protest Concert By Rapper Pitbull "It's Bad Enough That He Is Named After A Dog"

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on May 14, 2010 at 12:17pm


An upcoming concert featuring rapper PITBULL has prompted protests in the notoriously conservative country of Malaysia.

The hip-hop star is due to perform at a dance musicfestival in the country on Saturday (May 15), but Pitbull's inclusion on the bill has sparked outrage amongst Islamist groups there - who have cited his performance style and lyrics as a cause for concern.

Around 300 Muslim protesters gathered in the capital city, Kuala Lumpur, on Friday (May14) to express their outrage at Pitbull's planned performance, as well as a new government ruling which will allow a sports gambling company to be set up in Malaysia.

Pan Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) official Kamaruzaman Mohamad, says, "It's bad enough that he is named after a dog, but if you watch his video clip on YouTube, his performance and lyrics are against Malaysian cultural norms."

The protests were broken up by police, but no arrests were made, according to Reuters.

Strict Islamic groups in Malaysia frequently oppose pop concerts in the country - Beyonce scrapped a planned gig in Kuala Lumpur last year (09) after Muslim leaders slammed her sexy show, while other stars, including the Black Eyes Peas' Fergie have been forced to cover up and tone down their raunchy routines while performing in Malaysia.

Jay Electronica Speaks On Past Beef With Wu Tang Clan's RZA, DJ Kay Slay Responds. Jay Also Announces He Will Be Touring With G-Unit [2 Videos]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on May 14, 2010 at 11:30am


Videos After The Jump


New Orleans rapper Jay Electronica has started to build a nice buzz for himself. He started to get a lot of national recognition in 2009 when he released the Just Blaze produced banger "Exhibit C." Since then he's continued to dispel the myth that rappers from the South can't be lyricists.

To that end he recently caused a bit of a stir when he revealed that he once had beef with the Wu Tang Clan's Rza over remarks he made disparaging southern hip hop.

"I remember Rza said some ridiculously stupid things about the south," Jay said.

“Peace on RZA, that’s my brother,” he continued. “RZA had a great effect on me via the Wu Tang Clan and the music he did, I wouldn’t be who I am today if it wasn’t for the RZA and the Wu. But also RZA you said some crazy wild shit, and if you would have seen me at that time we might have had a physical altercation.”

"So I put in in a record called 'I Feel Good' that I did a long, long time ago. But peace to Rza, he's a beautiful black man. He's done a lot for our culture, a lot for our people and a lot for humanity in general."

Jay's interview caught the attention of The Drama King DJ Kay Slay who took to his Twitter to speak his mind on the matter.

"This jay electronica dude gettin real disrespectful towards New York n***as these days.. if he hates us so f*kin much why does he rap like us?"

"His f*kin interview just made my blood boil."

Jay responded via an interview on Shade 45's Angela Yee Show.

"Hold on Mr Kay Slay. I'm not rhyming like nobody, we all got our influences. And no disrespect, I love Kay Slay, I been f***in with Kay Slay since Style Wars," Jay said. "I f***s with Kay Slay, I made it known that I fucks with New York. But I'm not 19 years old, I'm not 15 out here sucking d*** and kissing ass, Imma say how I feel."

“When I say New York n***as was dissing us and talking crazy s**t about us; I’m not being hypothetical, I’m talking about what I experienced…I was real clear in the interview I have super respect for RZA. If it wasn’t for Wu, Nas, BIG, Jeru, Primo, by the way Primo’s from Texas, if it wasn’t for all these people I wouldn’t be the person I am today.”

Kay Slay responded on his Hot 97 show.

“What happened in the past happened and the South is eating now and you got on. Why you keep bringing up old foolishness and keep throwing New York up?” Slay said. “I’m taking offense because when Ludacris came around before his first album dropped, he came to my crib to freestyle. T.I. when he first came out came to my crib to freestyle; he asked me to bring him on BET his first time around. Eightball’s first time when he came to New York, I took him through Harlem. You’re using these people like no one in New York supported the South and everybody was dogging them [and] that never was the case.”

Cooler heads have since prevailed.

Kay Slay feels like he has always shown the south love and doesn't want this situation to get out of hand. He tweeted this morning. "Dear bloggers! Me an Jay elec are grown men an we had our opinions about issues an thts that..No violence just opinions!yall can relax now!"

Now that's good look, no beef, just two grown men expressing their opinions

Meanwhile in more positive Jay Electronica news. He recently told Vibe that he will be touring with 50 Cent and G-Unit on their U.S. run.

"I'm touring with G-Unit at the end of the month. I think 50's gonna be down but right now I don't even know the dates. Aside from that, I’m working on the next phase of my music. I want to tour and travel the world. I’m definitely at some point going to make a point to go all over the continent especially after the experience I had shooting "Exhibit C" in Nepal."

Guru dedication Tees, FUCK Solar TEE - from StickUPkids

Posted by StickUPkids on May 14, 2010 at 8:43am
Yo we are StickUPkids, we are designers from london and long time fan of Gang Starr. In light of the recent death of Guru and the straight up faggotness of Solar, we wanted to do something to further expose this snake but and at the same time pay homage to one of my favourite rappers and groups.We are a group of friends (stickupkids) and as soon as news started coming out about Gurus treatment we we're lost for words. Solars actions are straight out of a comic book and I'm regretful that this has happened but glad its coming to light.

We put pen to paper to design a range of T-shirts inspired by the life and passing Guru. The range comprises of three T-shirts with two dedicated to Gurus lyrics and one created solely for that punk Solar. We have gone through our whole collection of Guru tunes which killed it because when you think, ok, we have enough a next one comes through and smashes it!:)

We carefully chose lyrics to create the ultimate battle T which consists of Gurus hardest lines spit (in our eyes, we are sure this will bring on a new debate!). We have also created the Inspiration T, which has his most insightful lyrics, which we feel elevated the way people thought about their actions. We also done a straight up FUCK Solar T, which needs no explanation.

We have put crazy heart into these T's and hope that the people feel that when they rock it. We never do anything half-assed and for a cause like this we defiantly wouldn't slip. We will also be submitting a 15% of profits made from the range to the American Cancer society.

We hope this is something you are feeling and can endorse on your site however if its not safe, appreciate the time and keep doing what you do!!

T.I. Full Interview With Larry King. Says 'Depression & Paranoia' Were His Downfall [3 Videos]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on May 14, 2010 at 6:42am


Videos After The Jump

T.I. the self proclaimed King Of The South gave his first interview since being released from prison on weapons charges.

T.I. tells Larry King he was in a state of depression and paranoia when he purchased three machine guns and two silencers from undercover officers.

"This most recent incident, it came from an attempt that was made on my life," he said. "My best friend [Philant Johnson] had died in my arms. It caused a state of depression and paranoia. My judgment was jaded, and I felt my life was in danger. ... At the time, when I felt the need to have these things, I never took into consideration the legalities; I only took into consideration the protection of my life and family."

Larry asked why did he feel the need to purchase that kind of firepower. He pointed out that not even law enforcement uses those kinds of weapons.

Tip explained that when he and his entourage were attacked in Cincinnati the night his best friend was killed the assailants pumped more than 50-100 rounds into the van they were riding in.

So he felt out gunned and didn't want that to happen again.

It's a great interview so check it out below.

Solar's Hacker Speaks, Accuses The Producer Of Stealing Money From Guru While He Lay On His Death Bed

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on May 14, 2010 at 6:00am


The hacker that got into Superproducer Solar's email account and leaked documents stepped out of the shodows to grant Vibe.com an interview.

He calls himself "Renaldo" and speaks about why he's going after Solar.

"I'm angry because [of the] things popped off on the Internet about Solar," he said. There were rumors going on about Solar selling Guru’s house while Guru was in the hospital. So when people came forward like Solar’s baby mother, I was like, ‘Let’s expose this guy.’ So that’s why I did it."

Renaldo feels like Solar should be punished for the wrongs he did to late rapper Guru of Gang Starr. He was given Solar's email address and got busy.

"It was never my choice to do it. It was a random thing. It’s not like I feel like I’m the chosen one. But the opportunity was there," he explained. "When that person said ‘Here is Solar’s email account.’ I said ‘Okay, I’m going to hack that shit.’"

Renaldo says he's not done with Solar. He accuses him of stealing from Guru while he was on his death bed.

"I’ve got a shitload of pics of him cheating. I don’t think I leaked this completely…. When Guru was in the hospital fighting for his life, Solar sent an email from Guru’s email account to EMI and said, 'I want to transfer 1K from my bank account to another bank account.' And that bank account is Solar’s bank account. I've got several bank records indicating that he was stealing from Guru. And some documents indicating that all the royalties from EMI went to 7 Grand [his record label]. I've got an email showing that he didn't pay Doo Wop."

Lil Wayne Could Serve More Time Because Of MP3 Player In His Cell [Video]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on May 13, 2010 at 5:09pm


Video After The Jump

A source at Rikers Island confirmed reports that Lil Wayne was busted Monday for having headphones, a charger and a watch that doubles as an MP3 player in his jail cell.

The offense isn't extremely serious, but it could mean more prison time for Wayne. "You just get an infraction, a violation," the source told MTV News. "You lose some 'good time.'

"It depends on the severity of the infraction," the source added about what other type of trouble Weezy could get into. "Level one is the worst. Then you have [level] two or three. [This infraction] could be a level one. He has to go on trial, and based on evidence, they'll make their determination."

Our source also confirmed that Wayne has a job as a suicide-prevention aid, which entails staying up at night to keep an eye on at-risk inmates.

"He checks each cell or area to see if each guy is alive. There are three shifts," our source said. "I think his shift is at night, like 11 [p.m.] to 7 [a.m.] or 12 to 8."

That job is now in jeopardy due to the infraction.

In 2007, Lil Wayne was arrested for attempted gun possession following his first headlining performance in Manhattan at the Beacon Theatre. New York is among the toughest states in the country when it comes to gun-possession laws. In other states, Lil Wayne could have gotten off with a misdemeanor rap and probation. However, in New York, only law-enforcement officials and those affiliated with authorities are permitted to carry firearms. The rapper was sentenced to a year in prison in March.

Superhero porn parody ready to fly.

Posted by RAPPERS I.Q ? on May 13, 2010 at 3:45pm


No, not the one already under way, with Iron Man and Batman and Green Lantern hitting screens. This is a superhero porn invasion.

On the heels of wrapping production on "Batman XXX: A Porn Parody," a skintastic skewing of the 1960s TV show, porn producer Vivid Entertainment has announced the creation of Vivid-Superhero, an imprint that will take the wraps off Superman (already in preproduction, according to the company), the Green Hornet, Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, Captain America, Thor and the Incredible Hulk.

"Batman XXX" brought a lot of mainstream attention to the company, and the (clean) trailer was a hit on YouTube, surpassing expectations by notching more than 150,000 views in the first 24 hours. Part of the appeal was obviously the love for the characters. But this isn't some cheesy, low-budget attempt to do a parody of a TV show, which have been proliferating on the porn scene.

Part of the interest and appeal is what seems like high production values and eye to detail such as hiring the original TV show's costume designers to re-create outfits (the last detail according to Bleeding Cool, which has been all over this like vanilla scent on a stripper).

Axel Braun, who directed "Batman XXX," will act as the lead director for the imprint, and is also working on parodies "Godfather XXX" and "The Addams Family XXX" for Vivid.

"Axel truly did an amazing job with ('Batman XXX'), and we agreed that together we could mine the really rich treasure of superheroes and have a lot of fun doing it," said Vivid founder Steven Hirsch.

The DVD hits certain stores May 24.

Master P & Romeo Have Joined Michell Obama In The Fight Against Childhood Obesity. They Speak About It On Wendy Williams Show [Video]

Percy "Master P" Miller has done a great job instilling the proper values in his son Romeo.

The two of them have joined Michelle Obama in her fight against childhood obesity.

Percy talked about his program for inner city kids, 'It's Time Kids Campaign' and 'The Three E's' "education, eat right and exercise."

Romeo is the spokesperson for the campaign. He talked about why he's so passionate about it.

"I have seven brothers and sisters and I'm the oldest. Anytime I can help and give back, I want to do that," he said "A lot of kids now are on the internet, on facebook , Twitter and they're not exercising."

Diggy Simmons Says He Won't Be Spitting 'Bubble Gum Kiddie-Bop' Raps "I'm Really Doing Me" [Video]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on May 13, 2010 at 9:36am


Video After The Jump

Fire Starter: Diggy Simmons

Daniel "Diggy" Simmons has his legendary pop's brash but lovable quality — and it's most apparent when Rev Run's son is rapping. "The son of a king, so why would I ever bow down?" he asks on his Internet-famous freestyle "Made You Look (Flow Stoopid)."


The young MC, who hasn't been 15 years old for even four months yet, now has a record deal under his belt and a following on the Net, thanks to freestyles like the aforementioned "Made You Look" and "Diggy What, Diggy Who?!" Not to mention, a much talked-about blog titled "Life of a Jet Setter: The Young Tastemakers Guide" and, of course, a starring role the Simmons family reality-TV series "Run's House" on MTV.

Young Simmons has obviously been around hip-hop all his life. His older brother JoJo raps, Dad is recognized as one of the greatest MCs ever, and his uncle Russell is universally hailed as one of hip-hop's godfathers. But Diggy doesn't flinch when he considers the weight of that legacy.

"I get a lot of people [asking me about that] in interviews as well," he said. "They're like, 'Do you feel the pressure to uphold the legacy?' I'm just like, 'At the end of the day, I know who they are. But I'm really doing me.' It's like, I'm not feeling too much pressure, and I like it better that way. And I'll make it for myself," added Simmons, who described his upbringing as "normal."

"[Music] was really something I picked up and did on my own," Diggy explained of getting on the mic for the first time. "I was writing for a while, doing my thing. I was doing joints off my MacBook on GarageBand. I sent it to my boys through iChat. They'd knock a verse out. It was done like that. I released my first track, got a cool buzz around it, and I released some tracks prior to the mixtape [First Flight]. That's when I started pushing the tape. Once I pushed the tape, a lot of people were aware that I was rapping. Since the 'Made You Look' freestyle, and a lot of people knowing I signed to Atlantic, now many people know."

Not long after Diggy dropped the "Made You Look" freestyle, he got kudos from Kanye West. And most recently, the guy whose beat he jacked for the freestyle, Nas, gave him props as well.

"I couldn't believe it," Nas told Vibe, discussing his impressions of the teen. "Run is the king of rap, and for him to have a son who's that nice? You don't even think sh-- like that happens. I don't think we've seen that in hip-hop yet — he's nice, and his father's the king? That's historic, bro. That sh-- is incredible. That little dude is nice."

And Diggy shouldn't be confused with some other rappers in his demographic. He's actually winning over fans with his rapid flow, as well as his wordplay.

"That's something I really focus on, because a lot of my inspiration in music, they vary, from Lupe [Fiasco] to A Tribe Called Quest," said Diggy, who also included Jay-Z and Nas among his favorites. "I love Mos Def. Real lyrical dudes in the game, that's what I focus on. A lot of the time when you listen to music, you have no focus on what you listen to.

"I'm just letting people hear my music now," Diggy said. "A lot of people are like, 'Diggy raps? Ah, OK.' Before they even hear it, they don't even wanna hear it. They think it's gonna be some bubblegum, kiddie-bop type of hip-hop. That's not even the case."

Simmons said he's working on new material that will show his elevation as a wordsmith, but he's not yet sure if another mixtape will come before his debut album.

(CNN) -- An 8-year-old boy who is a Dutch citizen is the sole survivor of a deadly plane crash in Libya, airline officials said Wednesday.

Afriqiyah Airways confirmed on its website late Wednesday that the other 92 passengers and 11 crew members were killed when the plane crashed while trying to land at the Tripoli International Airport.

The child, identified as Ruben van Assouw, suffered multiple fractures in his lower limbs and underwent an operation at Al Khadra Hospital in Tripoli, a doctor at the hospital said.

The boy has seen a Dutch Embassy representative and is sedated and asleep, she said.

The Dutch Foreign Ministry, which had a representative at the hospital waiting to identify the boy, declined to confirm the child's name.

The Afriqiyah Airways plane originated in Johannesburg, South Africa. Of those killed, 58 passengers were Dutch, six South African, two Libyan, two Austrian, one German, one French, one Zimbabwean and two British. Another 19 passengers' nationalities could not immediately be identified. The 11 crew members were all Libyan.

The plane, an Airbus A330-200, was at the end of its nearly nine-hour flight when it crashed at 6 a.m.

"We express our sincere regret and sadness on behalf of the airline. As well, we would like to express our condolences to the relatives and friends of those who had passengers on Flight 8U771 destined for Tripoli late last night, due to arrive around 6 o'clock this morning," said Nicky Knapp, a representative of the Airports Company South Africa. She was speaking on behalf of Afriqiyah Airways.

Jerzy Buzek, president of the European Parliament, said the child's survival, "given this tragic event, is truly a miracle."

At the crash site, workers with surgical masks combed through the smoldering wreckage, which spilled over a large area. A wheel lay atop a pile of bags. Two green airline seats sat upright and intact amid burned parts of the aircraft.

Officials recovered the plane's flight data recorder, which investigators use to piece together a flight's last minutes.

The Tripoli-based Afriqiyah (Arabic for "African") operates flights to four continents. The planes in the fleet carry the logo 9.9.99: the date when the African Union was formed.

The plane that crashed was one of three Airbus 330-200s that the airline owns.

It's been a minute since we've heard from Foxy Brown and I have to say it was really good seeing her. She was very emotional and humble during her interview with Mo'Nique yesterday (May 12).

She talked about how she woke up the day after a photo shoot with Jay-Z and Kanye West for XXL and had lost 100% of her hearing.

She has since recovered and credits God for pulling her through, but to this day doctors have no idea how it happened.

Fox Boogie also gave a big shout out to Pam Grier, the original Foxy Brown for giving her permission to use the name

Heavy Spitta? Twilight Star Robert Pattinson Reveals He Wanted To Be A Rapper

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on May 13, 2010 at 6:00am


Robert Pattinson the rapper?

That almost became a reality according to the star. The man who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the hugely successful 'Twilight' films told Oprah Winfrey he dreamed of becoming a rapper as a teen.

“I grew up watching American movies and stuff. Also, I used to want to be a rapper when I was like 14,” he told her.

To which Oprah replied, “No you didn’t!” Her amazement isn't a big surprise since it is well known she isn't a fan of the art form.

But for Robert, hip hop has been a huge help for him in developing an American accent for movies even if his co-star and rumored girlfriend Kristen Stewart doesn't think so.

"Kristen thinks I do the most terrible American accent'" he joked.

Rapper Lady Sovereign Comes Out Of Closet, Admitting She Is A Lesbian

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on May 12, 2010 at 7:30pm


Pint sized British rapper Lady Sovereign has confirmed rumors that have followed her the last several years by admitting she is a lesbian according to a report by ContactMusic.

She says she would have 'come out' sooner if not for pressure from her publicists to keep her sexuality a secret.

She told Diva magazine "Magazines would always ask about it (sexuality) but (they) would get stopped by my publicists. It was my choice, too, because I was a bit worried about it - but now I don’t really give a s**t.

"You can’t hide away forever. It’s just stupid and now I’ve come out I feel a lot more comfortable with myself. But it was a bit scary back then, because some people do have horrible opinions."

Sovereign was signed to Def Jam Records in 2005 by then President, Jay-Z. She enjoyed success the following year with her single "Love Me Or Hate Me."

In 2007 she appeared to have fallen on hard times personally, culminating in her breaking down, crying and rambling at a show in Brooklyn, New York at Studio B.

During the show she only performed two songs before telling the audience she was depressed, broke, didn't want to do this show.

She then blurted out, "America f*cks you up, f*ck America"

Check out her breakdown below.
