Brooklyn, New emcee Maino recently sat down with DJ Smallz to talk about the Slim Jesus phenomenon.
"The reason it's not funny to me is because, you know they make all this hoopla about him. And all he's doing is mimicking real life artists that's making the music out of their own pain," Maino said. "When the kids in Chicago was making that music that comes from their own culture, their own pain. They really living that. They in situations where they friends is dying in front of them. And they shooting, running from the police and all that. And you not even doing none of that and you talking so crazy on this record? We gotta stop celebrating shit like that."

Boosie Badazz has been diagnosed with kidney cancer. The 33-year old rapper, real name Torrance Hatch, made the announcement via his Instagram page.
"I need all my fans to pray for me. Doctor just told me I have cancer on my kidneys," he wrote. "Prayer is power. That's why I'm letting the world know. prayfaboosie."
TMZ reports that Boosie removed the caption because his team did not want him to make the diagnosis public.
Boosie has been dealing with health problems prior to this announcement. The Louisiana native has diabetes. In February he was hospitalized in Charlotte, suffering from severe dehydration.
We wish Boosie the best and hope he can overcome this latest health scare.
Read statistics on kidney cancer via the Canadian Cancer Society below.
The following are prognostic and predictive factors for kidney cancer.
Stage
The stage of kidney cancer is the most important prognostic factor. People who have tumors that are only in the kidney have a better prognosis than people with cancer that has spread outside the kidney. Kidney cancer that has spread to the large vein in the abdomen leading to the heart (called the vena cava) have a poor prognosis.
Grade
Low-grade tumors have a better prognosis than high-grade tumors. Low-grade tumors are less likely to spread because they grow slowly. High-grade tumors are more aggressive and tend to spread quickly.
Type of kidney cancer
Papillary and chromophobe types of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) have a better prognosis because they are often low grade.
Collecting duct carcinoma and renal cell sarcoma have a poor prognosis because they are often very aggressive.
Level of risk
The most common system used to predict prognosis for people with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma is the International mRCC Database Consortium (IMDC). It uses 6 predictors:
- The Karnofsky performance status score is less than 80.
- There was less than 1 year between treatment and a diagnosis of metastatic cancer.
- The blood calcium level is abnormally high (which may mean kidney failure).
- The red blood cell count is lower than normal (called anemia).
- The platelet count is lower than normal (called thrombocytopenia).
- There is an abnormally high level of neutrophils (called neutrophilia).
These predictors are combined to develop a level of risk:
- Favorable risk means the person has none of the predictors.
- Intermediate risk means the person has 1 or 2 predictors.
- Poor risk means the person has 3 or more predictors.
People with metastatic kidney cancer who have a favorable risk level have a better prognosis and survival than people with a poor risk level.
**UPDATE** December 8
Boosie informed his fans via Instagram on Monday, December 7, that he will be undergoing surgery today.
"To all my family, fans n supporters I really appreciate the love n concern that's been giving to me since I was diagnosed with kidney cancer," he wrote. "Tommorrow I go n for surgery n I need prayers for a great surgery n rehabilitation at the MdAnderson cancer center GodGotme."
MD Anderson in Houston is ranked No. 1 in the U.S. for cancer treatment by Best Hospitals, so Boosie will be getting the best care available.

Last March we reported that the Wu Tang Clan had recorded a secret album titled "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin," that they would only sell one copy of for millions of dollars.
Some hip hop heads wondered if the group could pull it off, but TMZ reports that an anonymous American buyer has purchased the double disc for over $1 million.
As part of the deal, the collector cannot release any of the 31 songs for 88 years, which means unless one of us turns out to be the second coming of Methuselah, we'll never get to hear the record, aside from one 51-second snippet of a track producer Tarik “Cilvaringz” Azzougarh shared with Forbes last year.
“For art to change the way people think, it has to come from an extreme place,” said RZA. “No monumental change ever started with a compromise or a small shift. It starts extreme.”

Video And Pics After The Jump
CHICAGO (AP) — The white officer who shot a black Chicago teen 16 times has been charged with murder and jailed. The graphic video of the slaying has been made public. And in the hours after the footage was released, protesters seemed to honor pleas for restraint.
The question now is whether those efforts will be enough to address the simmering resentment that authorities took more than a year to share the footage and charge the officer who emptied an entire magazine into the teen even after he had crumpled to the ground.
City officials and community leaders had long braced for the release of the dash-cam video showing the death of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald. They feared the kind of turmoil that occurred in cities such as Baltimore and Ferguson, Missouri, after young black men were slain by police or died in police custody.
A judge ordered that the recording be made public by Wednesday. Moments before it was released, the mayor and the police chief urged protesters to stay calm.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel said residents will "have to make an important judgment about our city and ourselves and go forward." He referred to the episode as a potential "moment of understanding and learning."
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, left, and Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy speak at a news conference, Tuesday, Nov. 24, 2015, in Chicago
Chicago authorities are right to be concerned. The sometimes violent protest movement that was galvanized by the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson in August 2014 continues to disrupt cities nationwide. The Nov. 15 killing of black 24-year-old Jamar Clark by a white Minneapolis police officer has prompted days of protests outside a police precinct. And the demonstrations continue, despite calls from Clark's family to go home after a shooting near the protest site injured five people.
In Chicago, protest groups are expected to stage more demonstrations in the days ahead, including one at City Hall scheduled for Wednesday and another seeking to block the main city's shopping thoroughfare, Michigan Avenue, during Friday's holiday spending bonanza.
Among the protesters was Justin Taylor, an 18-year-old University of Iowa student who returned home to Chicago for Thanksgiving.
"It's powerful we're coming together," Taylor said. "Things like this happen too often."
The relevant portion of the video runs for less than 40 seconds and has no audio.
McDonald swings into view on a four-lane street where police vehicles are stopped in the middle of the roadway. As he jogs down an empty lane, he appears to pull up his pants and then slows to a brisk walk, veering away from two officers who are emerging from a vehicle and drawing their guns.
Almost immediately, one of the officers appears to fire from close range. McDonald spins around and collapses on the pavement.
The car with the camera continues to roll forward until the officers are out of the frame. Then McDonald can be seen lying on the ground, moving occasionally. At least two small puffs of smoke are seen coming off his body as the officer continues firing.
In the final moments, an officer kicks something out of McDonald's hands.
Police have said the teen had a knife. Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez said Tuesday that a 3-inch knife with its blade folded into the handle was recovered from the scene.
Shortly after the video's release, protesters began marching through city streets. Several hundred people blocked traffic on the near West Side. Some circled police cars in an intersection and chanted "16 shots."
Demonstrators, at times numbering in the hundreds, streamed through streets in the downtown and near South Side areas, gathering at one point outside the police department's District 1 headquarters.
Later, along Michigan Avenue, at least one person was detained, which led to a tense moment as protesters tried to prevent police from taking him away. Some threw plastic water bottles at officers and sat behind a police vehicle, refusing to move. Officers pulled them away, and the vehicle sped off.
The biggest group had mostly dissipated by 11 p.m., with a few dozen returning to the District 1 building. Another group of at least 50 people briefly blocked a busy expressway before walking toward a lakefront park.
Before the release of the video, city officials spent months arguing that the footage could not be made public until the conclusion of several investigations. After the judge's order, the investigations were quickly wrapped up and a charge announced.
Alvarez said concern about the impending release prompted her to move up the announcement of the murder charge.
"It is graphic. It is violent. It is chilling," she said. "To watch a 17-year-old young man die in such a violent manner is deeply disturbing. I have absolutely no doubt that this video will tear at the hearts of all Chicagoans."
But she also defended the 13 months it took to charge Officer Jason Van Dyke, insisting that she made a decision "weeks ago" to charge him and the video's ordered release did not influence that.
Officer Jason Van Dyke
Some community leaders questioned that assertion.
"This is a panicky reaction to an institutional crisis within the criminal justice system," said the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who said he hoped to see "massive" but peaceful demonstrations.
Months after McDonald's death, the city agreed to a $5 million settlement with his family, even before relatives filed a lawsuit, a move that also drew deep skepticism from the community.
At the time of McDonald's death, police were responding to complaints about someone breaking into cars and stealing radios.
Van Dyke, who was denied bond on Tuesday, was the only officer of the several who were on the scene to open fire.
Alvarez said the officer was on the scene for just 30 seconds before he started shooting. She said he opened fire just six seconds after getting out of his vehicle and kept firing even though McDonald dropped to the ground after the initial shots.
At Tuesday's hearing, Assistant State's Attorney Bill Delaney said the shooting lasted 14 or 15 seconds and that McDonald was on the ground for 13 of those seconds.
An autopsy report showed that McDonald was shot at least twice in his back and PCP, a hallucinogenic drug, was found in his system.
Van Dyke's attorney, Dan Herbert, maintains his client feared for his life and acted lawfully and that the video does not tell the whole story.
After the shooting, Van Dyke was stripped of his police powers and assigned to desk duty.
Herbert said the case needs to be tried in a courtroom and "can't be tried in the streets, can't be tried on social media and can't be tried on Facebook."

(Newscom.au) If witnessing Ronda Rousey crash to the ground was not worrying enough, you should see the color of her feet.
A debate has begun on Reddit.com over an image of Rousey sitting on the ground following her stunning knockout against Holly Holm a little over a week ago.
In the image, Rousey’s feet are a bright mix of yellow and purple.
Here are some of the theories behind the disturbing image.
JAUNDICE
During the fight in Melbourne two Sundays ago, there were controversial and unfounded suggestions it was a result of steroid use.
There have been cases of athletes developing jaundice — which causes a yellow pigmentation in the skin — after using steroids for more than two years.
American Mixed Martial Artist Julie Kedzie hit back at the claims, saying she often had yellow bottoms on her feet but she “didn’t juice EVER”.
@RyanLoco @JESnowden dis ma foot.Yellow too and I swear I didn't juice EVER. I don't think Rousey did/does either pic.twitter.com/bCEiUsLeG1
— Julie Kedzie (@julesk_fighter) November 16, 2015THE CANVAS
Kedzie said the surface of the Octagon rubbing off on the feet, combined with it being cold, was the cause of the discoloration.
@RyanLoco @JESnowden canvas and cold. My feet always turned yellow.
— Julie Kedzie (@julesk_fighter) November 16, 2015Kedzie said she would “scrub the sh*t” out of her feet after a bout because “they got yellow as hell”.
The canvas may explain the yellow, but what about the purple?
Holly Holm (right) tries to comfort Ronda Rousey after their fight at UFC 193
RAYNAUD’S PHENOMENON
The level of Rousey’s discoloration, especially coming immediately on the back of a brutal knockout, led to an argument that the UFC star was suffering from Raynaud’s phenomenon.
“Raynaud’s (ray-NOHZ) disease causes some areas of your body — such as your fingers and toes — to feel numb and cold in response to cold temperatures or stress,” the Mayo Clinic explains.
“In Raynaud’s disease, smaller arteries that supply blood to your skin narrow, limiting blood circulation to affected areas (vasospasm).”
In most cases the condition is harmless, but in severe cases a loss of blood flow can permanently damage the tissue and even lead to gangrene.
BEST OF THE REST
Among the numerous other theories were:
- Circulation issues;
- UFC fighters apply a resin to their feet for grip, and it can develop a yellow tinge on the sole;
- Weight cutting and dehydration taking a toll on the body;
- Dirty floors; or
- The photograph just has a yellow hue.
Can you explain what has happened? Leave your comments below.
