Videos After The Jump UK singer Cher Lloyd has been getting lots of attention with her unique spin on American hip hop songs. Now the 17-year old X-Factor contestant has caught the eye of Roc Nation CEO Jay-Z, who wants to make her a star according to OK! Cher has performed two of Hov's biggest hits on the show. Singing and rapping her way through "Hard Knock Life" and "Empire State Of Mind." Hov took notice, and came away very impressed. “I was very impressed with her version of ‘Hard Knock Life’ – it should be a track on her debut album and I would happily add my lyrics to it. I could get myself, Kanye West, Beyonce and Rihanna all working on her debut album and that would make it an automatic hit," Hov said. There could be one major hurdle for Jay to overcome if he plans on signing Cher. That would be X-Factor judge/producer Simon Cowell. Fellow X-Factor judge Louis Walsh says Cowell already has plans for Cher. “Simon believes that Cher will be the biggest success story of this year and he’s trying to butter her up. I’m sure he’s got something in the pipeline already, like a record deal. The plan will be to release a single next summer with a massive promotional campaign behind her," Louis said. "Simon’s already totally crazy about Cher and he’s already active in her future career. He feels she’ll sell millions and make some serious money. She’s had all the attention in the competition so far." Looks like the Cher Lloyd sweepstakes is about to begin.

Video After The Jump Most fights between old friends usually involve some cursing, maybe a few punches thrown. But in Kentucky, they're off that old school stuff. You got beef in Kentucky, you best be ready to eat your own beard if you lose a dispute. In one of the weirdest stories of the week, a Kentucky man had his beard shaved off, stuffed it in his mouth and was forced to to swallow it, following a fight with two former friends during a dispute over a lawnmower. Harvey Westmoreland told Lexington tv station WLEX-18 he never would have expected this from his former friends Troy Holt and James Hill. "They were pretty good guys," Westmoreland said. This all stemmed from the attempted sale of a lawnmower. "Troy offered to buy it from me for $250 dollars, I paid $20 bucks for it. One thing led to another and before I know'd it, there was knives, guns, everything just went haywire."

While Westmoreland's brother was held at knifepoint, Holt and Hill took his most prized possesion and shoved it down his throat. "They cut my beard, and forced me to eat it," he said. Eventually Holt and Hill left and were later arrested after the police were called, but Westmoreland is still mourning the loss of his beard. "It's not as long as it was." twitter-5d.gif

Videos After The Jump Roc Nation just added another talented mc to it's roster. Jay-Z announced the signing of Jay Electronica at New York's The Box yesterday November 12. Hov has a long history of collaborating with artists from the south, most notably Scarface and UGK, so this signing should come as no surprise. For the New Orleans born Electronica, this is a well deserved shining moment. He's been grinding on the underground for a while. But it wasn't until his Just Blaze produced banger "Exhibit C" dropped in 2009, did he start to get national exposure. Congrats to both Jay's on the signing.

Video After The Jump 2010 has already been one for the record books for Eminem, and it looks like he'll be adding at least one more monster hit before the year is out. British producer Alex Da Kid, the man behind the boards on "Love The Way You Lie" says he and Slim are ready to do it again. "We should have something coming out pretty soon. I can't tell you what it is, but when it comes out it will probably be the biggest song in the last 10 years, it's pretty exciting," Alex said. He added that it will be coming out before Christmas. Could this be a 'Detox' joint? twitter-5d.gif

The recent controversy surrounding George Bush, Matt Lauer and Kanye West has stirred up long simmering bad feelings about the former President. Bush said that Kanye's comments about him "not liking black people" was one of the "lowest moments of his presidency." Kanye tried to clarify his statements on The Today show this week, but that interview with Matt Lauer didn't go over well. West was so frustrated with how he felt he was treated by Lauer, he's pulled out of a post Thanksgiving Day performance on the Today Show. Fellow Chicago native and rapper Lupe Fiasco, came to Kanye's defense today via twitter. "Maaaaaaaaaan... f*ck bush! That n*gga was a tyrant and a menace! American Imperialist and terrorist! Supported financial chicanery and illegal wars...f*ck him! Till @kanyewest is responsible for the deaths of Hundreds Of Thousands of people he good in my book. The Tea Party Don't Like Black People!!"

It's not like Lupe's saying anything a lot of people aren't thinking already. The thing I find strange is what looks like NBC's attempt to soften people's perception of Bush through these recent interviews, with both Bush and Kanye. Maybe, I'm wrong, but there sure is a lot of attention being paid to a former President all of a sudden. twitter-5d.gif

Videos After The Jump A viral video emerged in recent days of a woman from Hingham, Massachusetts berating a postal worker in the ugliest and most racist way imaginable. Since the story broke, websites like 4Chan and Reddit among others, have worked overtime, and appear to arrived at a likely suspect in the horrible video (the posting of which seems to have lead to the Postal worker’s dismissal.) If the Internet is right, the woman in question lives in Hingham, Massachusetts, and ironically, operates a consulting service to improve public speaking. It’s unclear yet how exactly the hivemind has arrived at identifying the individual in question, but the growing suspicion is that the woman in question is Erica Winchester, husband to Randall Winchester from Hingham, Mass. According to New England Film, this individual runs and operates a Hingham-based consulting group called The Speech Company, a company that advises clients on the improving their public speaking.

Video After The Jump A sadistic drug-gang hitman has carried out a series of horrific killings in Mexico - aged just 12. The boy, known only as El Ponchis - The Cloak - is the paid executioner for a cartel locked in a war for control of the lucrative cocaine trade. He is believed to have tortured and slaughtered dozens of gangland enemies.

Cartel Victims The boy's trademark murders involve slitting the throats of victims with a deep cutting technique known as Degollar, which leaves the head hanging by a thread. Grisly videos circulating on the internet show victims having their throats slashed. The youthful killer, whose name is not known, is also seen wielding a rifle and posing beside a dead body. Another clip shows him battering a man with a club bearing the initials SPC - short for South Pacific Drug Cartel.

The Cloak "El Ponchise" The hitman, picked for his psychopathic brutality and childlike devotion to gang bosses, works with a group of women called the Chavelas - some believed to be his sisters. They drive vans carrying the bodies of people El Ponchis has killed to dumping grounds. A Mexican army spokesman said: "We understand El Ponchis works under the command of Julio Jesus Radilla, a drugs head in the State of Morelos. "El Ponchis, who is active in the town of Jiutepec, was identified during an investigation as the paid executioner of Radilla's enemies. "These victims were tortured, their throats cut and bodies dumped at roadsides or abandoned areas."

The SPC is allied with another cartel called The Zetas to fight for control of cocaine supply routes. Much of the cocaine they handle ends up on the streets of Britain. El Ponchis and his boss Radilla both escaped when troops raided a suspected SPC base last month. Mexico's increasingly grisly war against its drug barons has led to a state of emergency being declared in some states.

More than 50 people are killed by cartels every DAY and this year's death toll is set to exceed 18,000. Total deaths in President Felipe Calderon's six-year term, which ends in 2012, could be around 60,000 - ten times the American losses in Iraq and Afghanistan combined.

Video After The Jump Serius Jones and Charles Hamilton renewed their mic rivalry during an impromptu battle at Figs barbershop in Harlem. Jones was chilling, getting a haircut when Hamilton walked in. After being egged on by the camera man, the two went 1 1/2 rounds. Hamilton spit twice, but Jones clowned him so bad in round 1, he didn't bother wasting any more bars. Check it out below as Jones hilariously clowns Hamilton for looking like a bum. twitter-5d.gif

I guess it would be too much to ask for Officer Ricky Ross to show some class, and take his loss at last night's Soul Train Awards to Eminem like a man. Eminem's "Love The Way You Lie" featuring Rihanna took home the award for best for best hip hop song. That was apparently too much too take for Ross, who threw a tantrum and stormed out because his song "BMF" didn't get the award. Singer Chrisette Michele who has worked with Ross in the past, took to her blog to express her displeasure with his immaturity and the black eye it gave Hip Hop. Award Show : "If this is the way hip hop is then I denounce it. This is not about ego. This is about what I can bring to the world. My life is for the people. I live to give. It’s my desire to bring life and freedom light and love everywhere I go. Upward mobility in the brown skinned community. Who stands off at an award show because they don’t win? An award is winning at being as “stuck in a category” as possible. Congratulations to all the trophy holders who won at being the most like every one else. I could have sworn hip hop was on the come up. But apparently rapping is about venting, bashing, chauvinistic pigging, and EGO. Not cool, from the bottom of my disappointed heart. Hip Hop… Man up. I wanted to be supportive but I can’t understand you. I believed in you… But apparently you’re so high you can’t even see what the world needs. Is all hip hop like that? Absolutely not! But some of it certainly is. Let me spit a few bars. I’m not that kinda hip hop. I rep hip hop too. But not that kinda ego trippin foolery. Chrisette Michele - the girl on that Aston Martin Music record… Spread love. Word up twitter-5d.gif

T.I. is already serving 11 months for violating his parole, but bad news keeps rolling in anyway. According to a report on AllHipHop, T.I. is being sued by an audio engineer who claims people affiliated with the rapper held him hostage, and beat him badly while looking for a chain belonging to rapper Killer Mike aka Mike Bigga. Norris Gresham says he was attacked on September 8 at Echo Studios. In the lawsuit filed Monday in Fulton County State Court, it is alleged that Grand Hustle affiliates Jonathan Carle aka “Spodee;” Terrance Beasley aka “Cap”, Cortez Thomas aka "C Rod”, Nathaniel Josey aka “Mac Boney” and Killer Mike, real name Michael Render held Gresham against his will while searching for Killer Mike's lost diamond encrusted chain. Although T.I. wasn't present at the time of the assault, Gresham claims he was being updated on the situation through text messages and video recorded by "C-Rod." The suit says that although T.I. was aware of the danger Gresham was in he "did nothing to stop or prevent the assault.” After the chain was found in the ceiling, Gresham was reportedly threatened with a gun, then pushed down a flight of stairs resulting in lost teeth. .twitter-5d.gif
