The code of the streets is don't let any one see you sweat. Man your grounds, kill the next if needed.
What if I told you that drugs and guns was put into our communities to slow down our race. Would
you take my advise and try to change? Why is it that whites can start businesses together, Mexicans
can survive with ten others on a low income, but blacks can't do any thing together? There is no unity
in our nation. All i'm saying is there must be a time when real change must come to past. Get it together.

The fan started screaming at Wayne, who was also wearing a yellow ski hat and matching fanny pack to "take off Lil Kim's jeans" and "f*ck Nicki Minaj."
Weezy was nominated for “Artist Of The Year” and “Album Of The Year” for Tha Carter IV. The show will air December 4th on MTV2 at 11P/10C.

Jay-Z has decided to pull his Occupy Wall Street themed t-shirts from Rocawear's website amid criticism he was trying to profit from the movement without giving anything back to the cause.
The plan was to sell the t-shirts emblazoned with the phrase "Occupy All Streets" for $22 with all of the money going back to the company.
"Jay-Z, as talented as he is, has the political sensibility of a hood rat and is a scrotum," says Grim, described as one of the leaders of the Occupy movement by TMZ. "To attempt to profit off of the first important social moment of 50 years with an overpriced piece of cotton is an insult to the fight for economic civil rights known as #occupywallstreet."
A spokesperson for Rocawear confirmed to Gawker.com a couple of days ago that the company had no plans to share the wealth at this time.
The 'Occupy All Streets' T shirt was created in support of the 'Occupy Wall Street' movement. Rocawear strongly encourages all forms of constructive expression, whether it be artistic, political or social. 'Occupy All Streets' is our way of reminding people that there is change to be made everywhere, not just on Wall Street. At this time we have not made an official commitment to monetarily support the movement.
TMZ reports they have been trying to contact Hov's camp for two days with no luck.

Manny Pacquiao was taken to the limit Saturday night before escaping with a majority decision win over Juan Manuel Marquez in their welterweight title fight.
Pacquiao won on two scorecards, while the third ringside judge had it a draw. It was a narrow escape for the Filipino congressman, who took as much punishment as he got over 12 rounds.
The third fight between the two was as close as the previous two, and by the time they finished 12 arounds the outcome was still in doubt. Pacquiao won some rounds with sheer agression, while Marquez won others with brilliant counterpunching, keeping Pacquiao from getting inside.
Marquez was a 7-1 underdog, but it was clear early he would be in this fight. He picked Pacquiao apart with right hands almost every time he tried to get inside, and landed good hard flurries throughout the fight.
Pacquiao was the aggressor throughout, and landed some sharp punches of his own. But when the decision was announced, the crowd booed roundly and, once again Marquez had lost a close fight.
One ringside judge had it a 114-114 draw, while two others favored Pacquiao by 115-113 and 116-112. The Associated Press had it 114-114.
The sellout crowd at the MGM Grand arena threw bottles and cans toward ringside after the decision was announced, with one full can hitting a ringside writer. Marquez, who had been bitter about the scoring in the first two fights, stormed out of the ring.
Pacquiao continued his remarkable run with the win, but it didn't come easy. He had trouble all night finding his range and, when he did get inside, Marquez often moved to the side and landed a counter right hand.
It was the third close fight between the two men, though this one was fought at 144 pounds instead of 125 as was their first fight seven years ago. That fight was a draw, while Pacquiao won a split decision in the second bout in 2008 at 130 pounds.
"My fans are very happy because they thought I won," Pacquiao said when asked about the crowd reaction.
Marquez fought going backward all night, and that might have been his undoing. While he landed well at times, Pacquiao was in his face most of the night.
"I got robbed," Marquez said. "I don't know what else I can do to win."
Pacquiao earned a minimum $22 million for the fight, while Marquez got $5 million.

A new Drake biography is headed our way in comic book form.
FAME: Drake will cover Drizzy's career from his days as an actor on Degrassi: The Next Generation, to his rise to fame in the music business.
“What makes Drake such a distinctive creative personality is that he's not just one thing. His music encompasses hip-hop, rap, old style rhythm and blues, soul and pop," the book's author, Marc Shapiro told MTV.
Shapiro goes on to describe the Young Money artist as being “refreshingly real and down to earth."
"When was the last time you heard of a celebrity blowing off a lucrative tour to be at his mother's side during her stay in the hospital? Drake did just that. You could die of old age waiting to find somebody who has as much soul, creatively and as a human being, as Drake," says Shapiro.
FAME: Drake is being published by Bluewater Productions and will be available January 2012. The book will feature the art of Mike J.C. The cover was illustrated by Joe Phillips.

Master P is back with some new No Limit Soldiers, and is looking to reclaim his spot in the rap game.
After forming the group, Tru, with his brothers C-Murder and Silkk the Shocker, P went on a hell of a run in the 90's. His No Limit record label was home to acts such as Snoop Dogg, Mia X, Mystikal, Fiend and more before the label was forced to file for bankruptcy in 2003.
P has re-launched the record label as No Limit Forever. He told BallerStatus in a recent interview that he's ready to go with a new project.
"I named this new record TMZ - Too Many Zeros because it's true when they say 'more money, more problems'. I'm on my Donald Trump swag. I could lose it all and get it back in 72 days," Master P told Ballerstatus. "Good or bad, when the media is on you, that means you are still relevant." This album is street, controversial, and real. This is Master P's re-introduction back into the music business. But it's not about him this time, it's about the next generation of stars that he and Romeo have discovered."
Romeo will serve as President of the new label. Master P's brother, Valentino was named vice president, while Silkk The Shocker has been named chief operating officer.
The new roster of artists include T.E.C., Black Don, Miss Chee, T-Bo, and Bengie B, among others.

Bow Wow releases a new video dedicated to his love of the sticky icky.
The song is off his new mixtape, I'm Better Than You.
Oscar De La Hoya is trying to get his personal life back on track. The former boxing great has come clean in recent weeks about his cross dressing fetish as well as cocaine and alcohol abuse. Pictures of him dressed in fishnet stockings and high heels are plastered all over the internet from one of his alcohol fueled parties with model Milana Dravnel.
When the pictures initially surfaced, De La Hoya said the photos were fake and reportedly paid Dravnel $20 million dollars in hush money to make the problem go away according to Fox Sports. As part of the deal Dravnel had to agree to give back the fishnets, heels and lingerie she had kept from their party.
After going to rehab for drug and alcohol abuse the Golden Boy Promotions CEO finally admitted it was him in the embarrassing photos.
"Let me tell you, yes, yes, it was me (in those pictures)," he told Univision in September 2011. "I am tired now of lying, of lying to the public and of lying to myself."
Seems as if Oscar might have to make one more admission if new allegations turn out to be true.
The New York Post is reporting that De La Hoya is being sued by model Angelica Marie Cecora for emotional distress, false imprisonment and assault and battery stemming from a drug and sex orgy at the Ritz-Carlton in New York.
According to the report De La Hoya hired Cecero through a modeling agency. After the two had dinner Oscar asked her to spend the night, which she agreed to.
Once in the hotel room Cecero alleges that De La Hoya got smashed on alcohol, then started trying on her lingerie.
“It was beyond kinky,” the 25-year old told The Post. “Things that I don’t even know how to explain were done with him. He started to put my stuff on, my underwear. I had a skirt with me. He put that on. He was the exact same size as me. He fit into the tiniest pair of underwear that I had been wearing. He was dancing, playing around with my [clothes], playing a woman, very feminine."
Cecero says the two had sex and that De La Hoya ordered drugs be delivered to the hotel. After that, he became even more out of control. She decided to call her roommate to join them.
“She is a dancer. I thought he would definitely be interested in her,” Cecora said. “He had asked her to bring some stuff with her. Some more underwear, some vibrators, toys . . . She brought a vibrator, a dildo, a bong."
De La Hoya reportedly started snorting cocaine and asked her to perform a very extreme sex act. She told him that she had never done anything like that before and claims the images still haunt her.
“He was in these positions that [still] keep flashing into my head," she said.
Eventually Cecero and her Russian roommate kicked De La Hoya out of the hotel bedroom so they could sleep, but he kept sneaking back in to crawl in bed with them.
After the pair made it clear they would leave if he didn't sleep on the couch, he eventually left them alone. When they awoke the morning after he was gone and left her with a $1500 hotel bill, which she did not pay. She claims De La Hoya's lawyer later tried to settle the bill with her.
