Video After The JumpHigh School football players aren't allowed to slam the football after a touchdown, or have elaborate celebrations like the pros do. But since when can't you point a finger to the heavens as a way of saying thanks to God?Ronnie Hastie, a running back for Tumwater High School in Tacoma, Washington state scored a touchdown in the second quarter of a game Monday night. Afterwards he took to a knee, and briefly pointed to the heavens. The same thing he's done after scoring 16 other touchdowns this season.
This time though, the referee threw a flag, saying it was unsportsmanlike conduct.
"I do that to give glory to my heavenly father, Jesus. He's the one that gives me the strength and the abilities to do this in the first place," says Ronnie.
I think this is a ridiculous rule.
Do you guys think making a simple gesture to God after scoring a touchdown is excessive?

Joell Ortiz's highly anticipated 2nd album 'Free Agent' was supposed to be released in January 2011.
However, due to a monumental screw up by Amazon, the album leaked yesterday and is now all over the internet.
Somehow the online retailer put the album out on sale through mail order and instant download.
Joell tweeted about the mess up, blaming his label E1 for the mistake.
This is the second time Amazon has made this mistake. In December 2009 they shipped out 500 copies of Lil Wayne's 'Rebirth' album to customers, 2 months before it's release date.
No word yet on whether or not E1 will rush 'Free Agent' to stores as is, or rework the project.

Video After The JumpIn today's world of hip hop, a lot of what we see and hear is who has the biggest bank roll, fanciest ride or most expensive watch.
People have forgotten that the art form didn't start out that way. At it's true essence hip hop is about expressing one's self in several different and creative ways. That includes rapping about whatever you want to, not the same stale topics over and over, b-boying, break dancing and dj's rocking a crowd.
When Nas said hip hop was dead, he couldn't have been more wrong. It's just moved in a different direction. But it's still good to see there are true b-boys and b-girls doing their thing.
At the recent B-Boy Championship in France, we get to see some of what the game needs more of.
Check out some of the incredible moves below.
BBOYS featured:
Alcolil (Russia / Predatorz)
Ardit (Germany / TNT Crew)
Chakal (Algeria / Dziri Crew)
Hulk (Israel / Unstoppabullz)
Kid David (USA / Renegades & The Squadron)
Lil G (Venezuela / Speedy Angels)
Marcio (France / Legiteam Obstruktion)
Mounir (France / Vagabonds)
Morris (USA / Flexible Flave)
Noodle (Korea / Gamblerz)

Video After The JumpThis whole Raz B, Chris Stokes, Marques Houston, B2K gay molestation drama just took another strange turn.
For those who may not have heard, former B2K member Raz B has accused his cousin/manager Chris Stokes and Marques Houston of sexually molesting him while he was a member of the group.
Apparently at some point Raz B suggested that singer/reality star Ray J could back his story up. That suggestion leads to the phone call you're about to hear, where Ray J wants his name cleared. But at the same time, he seems to suggest that some of what Raz has been saying is true.
Also on the call is George Lemore aka Young Buck, who Danger from VH1's Shot At Love claimed at one point was in a homosexual relationship with Ray-J.
"I need you to rephrase that sh*t Raz. You got n*ggas hitting me everyday, like Puffy, Jay-Z asking 'what's up with you and this Chris Stokes sh*t?' Cause it's like damn you really didn't have to mention a n*gga," Ray J says. "And I talked To Marques Houston tonight, he didn't deny the [molestation] sh*t dawg."
Raz tells Ray, he'll help clear his name: "I got you Ray, on God in Heaven, I got you. You never did nothing wrong to me."
As the conversation continues, Ray speaks on his current success and the fact that gays run Hollywood and he doesn't want to offend them in any way.
"I'm getting a lot of paper now. I can't diss anybody that's homosexual in any kind of way," Ray explains. "If you like men, if you like women whatever. You do what you do, I respect you, I love you. I f*ck with a lot of niggas and females thats homosexuals and bisexuals, thats cool. So I don't want to ever get it twisted like I'm saying it aint cool to do sh*t and cross that path. And then on top of all that , I got the head of VH1, and I got the head of a couple other n*ggas on some fruity sh*t. Calling, trying to get my number, taking me out on dates and I don't need that sh*t either. It's going down because of the rumors and I'm in a f*cked up position. Because I will never go out and say anything in the f*ggot name or anything. Anything you say like that your career is over. Because people that are in that world, run the industry."
It seems pretty clear Ray has no idea he's being recorded by Raz B. Who at this point is willing to sacrifice anyone to prove his allegations about Stokes and Houston are true.

West Coast hip hop veteran has just about seen and done it all in his career as a rapper, director, screen writer and actor.
One thing Don Mega hadn't done was sit down for an interview with the king of smut magazines, Hustler until recently.
Cube talked about hip hop's continued growth, Oprah Winfrey's disdain for him and why white kids love rap.
H: Why do you think white suburban kids love hip-hop?
Cube: It’s the voice of the youth, and I think that’s the draw. It’s the voice for a kid who might not be able to sing or might not be able to play an instrument. Hip-hop gives them a chance to be a part of music. Rap gives them a chance to express themselves. That is the ingredient that brings all these different cultures together
H: What’s your beef with Oprah, and what's that about?
Cube: I ain’t got no beef with Oprah! She got the beef with me. She never told me [why]. Maybe she’ll tell you. You need to get at her. It’s just like she ain’t fucking with me.That’s cool. I ain’t fucking with her neither.That’s her problem, and the world may never know.
H: Are you impressed by any new MCs?
Cube: I like what Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco are doing and where they are taking hip-hop. Those are good styles that are making hip-hop grow. It’s not dying as people say just because the mainstream is not paying attention anymore. It’s just back to where it came from—underground. In the ’90s, mainstream took hip-hop and tried to play it out. Rap is something that can’t die because it’s the voice of the youth. There is always something to be said by somebody somewhere, and there’s so many ways to say it now.

Video After The JumpNicki Minaj hit up the Jimmy Kimmel Live stage last night to perform "Right Thru Me", off her debut album 'Pink Friday.'
This is the 3rd time I've seen her perform this song live, and by far this was the best performance of the three.
In the first two performances she was noticeably nervous, barely moving, never stepping away from the mic stand. But she her old self last night, despite the horrible sound mix.
Perhaps buoyed by the expected steller 1st week sales of her album, the Harajuku Barbie was very animated with her vocals, movements and facial expressions.

Video After The JumpSome artists have fans and stans, but Wu Tang Clan's Ghostface Killah has dudes that want him to touch their girlfriend's breasts."I'm trying to get Ghostface to sign my girlfriend's t*ts, it hasn't happened yet," says the fanboy as he waits outside Ghost's trailer.
An incredulous Ghostface can't believe it. While the fan continues to wait outside, Ghost tells the camera man what an idiot he thinks he is.
"These are the dumbest motherf*ckers in the world. How that man gonna let me sign his b*tch t*tties? I don't know what it is, but you know what it's all good," Ghostface says. "N*gga you aint coming 10 feet near my b*tch. And you gonna let me, Tony Starks sign her t*tty? Ok tell her to come on."

Video After The JumpAnybody could find themselves in a position where they need temporary Government assistance to help get back on their feet. It's a shame though, when people abuse the system. And even worse if they're abusing it to buy drugs instead of feeding their children.
When police in Wellston, Missouri busted a crack house recently, they found more than 60 food stamp and child support cards.
"It hurts and infuriates me to think it's my tax dollars they're using to buy drugs," said Wellston Police Chief G. Thomas Walker told KTVI.
In Missouri food stamps come in the form of debit cards, child support can also be put on the cards.
"It appears the suspect was accepting not only cash, jewelry, electronics, but also food stamp cards, social security cards, child support cards, and we also believe that he was producing pornography out of the residence. We believe some of his payment was in favors," said an undercover detective.
Cops say they plan on busting the drug addicts as well. It should be really easy since their names on on the cards.

Videos After The JumpBecause of overcrowding problems and complaints from women that men were sexually harassing them, India set aside female only trains so women could ride comfortably
Problem is, some men would still sneak into the female only coaches, causing problems.
To combat this, An all female police task force was created in New Delhi to find and punish men who dared press their luck.
Now if a man is caught on a train reserved for women, he will literally get the sh*t slapped out of him by the female cops and train passengers.
Gurgaon police commissioner S Deswal, who led a recent raid told News.Com.AU: "We found many male passengers in the women's coach. The moment the women saw us, they got the courage to teach the men a lesson. "We want our young girls and women to feel confident and safe while travelling in the metro."
In addition to getting b*tch slapped, the men are further humiliated by being forced to do squats and push ups. They must also pay a fine of 250 rupees ($A5.50).
Well damn,,,,lmao

Video After The JumpHip hop fans remember Nate Dogg for his appearances on hit records from artists like Dr Dre, Ludacris, Jadakiss, Eminem and many more, as well as his solo albums. He and Warren G helped pioneer that West Coast G-Funk style of music. And when it came to singing hooks, the man had the game on lock.
After suffering two debilitating strokes, Nate is on the tough road back to recovery.
In a recent interview with Hip Hop Hollywood, good friend Warren G talked about Nate's progress.
"Nate is in a lot of therapy right now. We actually got a website coming out where people can send donations," Warren said. "That's gonna help out with him, help him get back on his feet. Plus us in the industry, we're gonna do a lot to help out with him."
When asked if Nate would ever sing again, Warren said he was hopeful.
"Everybody just gotta keep him in their prayers, cause he had two strokes and that's real dangerous. And a lot of people don't come back from that. Luther Vandross did it, so hopefully Nate can do it. Cause the game needs him, I need him," Warren said.
