Do it for Big Hawk (Flagrantly jacked from Matt’s blog)

Your boy has just been initiated into the realest hip-hop cult, so, might as well give a throwed shout-out to H-Town first.
Its’ going to be an intense week; Hawk’s tribute concert on the 2nd, and then one of my favorite groups of all time, The Roots, on the 3rd.

New BlackMen Cover: Hoopz

Saturday, May 27th, 2006

It appears Flavor Flav’s former squeeze, Hoopz, is still desperately riding the wave of popularity to its fullest. I’m not sure if beautiful (albeit talent-less?) chicks like Hoops and Karrine Steffans realize how ephemeral this spotlight thing really is. I wonder if she’ll attempt to use superficial stunts like these to lunge into something a lil’ more substantial, because “they” will snatch this shit from under her feet faster than she could say Flava Flav, unless she goes all Nicole Narrain on us and makes a porn vid with T.I.
