JrCeleb Class of 2012

2012-02-06T18:28:00.001-06:00

So I know you’re wondering who made the Jr.Celeb rooster this semester! Jr.Celeb’s class

of 2012 consists of brand ambassadors that have made a mark in their lane. They are rappers

Maserati Deeder, Y Dot G Dot, M Pulse, The Boy Illinois, Chin Chilla Meek and Lucci Vee,

with make-up artist Shorty bangz, Chicago promoter and rapper Yung Happ, celebrity nail

artist Spifster, Chicago’s hottest female DJ, DJ Gemini Jones and singer, Lilly. Currently each

of these artists resides in Chicago,IL but stem from all over the states. These individuals have

soundly represented their brand throughout the 2011 year whether it was the swiftest street team

promotion, crazy numbers of cliental, the hottest Chicago party scene, the next dope single

buzzing through the streets or digital swag like no other; they have proven that 2011 was only

the brink of success. Jr. Celeb strongly recommend that you keep an eye out for them in

this new year of 2012 and many years to come!

M.I.A Flicks Off The World During Superbowl Half Time SHOW

2012-02-06T11:07:00.003-06:00

So you probably would have expected a kiss between Madonna and another individual during her performance but rapper MIA and another trick in mind...

Madonnas astronomical Halftime show at Superbowl XLVI featured LMFAO, Nicki Minaj, M.I.A, and Cee-Lo. You couldn't go wrong with so many big names on one stage. But something went wrong when M.I.A had her time to shine. With over 80 million viewers watching she decided to stick her middle finger up and the end of her verse. This may not like a big deal too many but it can cause NBC to face a fine like CBS did after Janet's wardrobe malfunction during her Superbowl halftime performance. The NFL and NBC quickly apologized for her behavior and tried to blur the screen when the saw it but was too late.

'The obscene gesture in the performance was completely inappropriate, very disappointing, and we apologize to our fans" said Brian McCarthy, spokesman for the NFL.

Well people I guess we should have a little respect for people even if you don't really give a F%#@!

Rook - "Who The F*ck You Kiddin"

2012-01-11T19:18:00.000-06:00

Hailing from Brooklyn, Rook isn't a stranger to the camera. If you're my age, in your early 20's, you've probably seen the show Zoom on PBS right after school when you were around 10 or 11. I remember watching Rook (aka Ray) spit a rhyme or two on the show and knew then, the kid had talent. Needless to say, Rook grew up and so did his passion for hip hop. His mixtape "Mixed Ape: The Mixtape" is set to be out in February and judging by the joints he sent over, I'mma definitely be on the lookout.

Here is his latest single, "Who The F*ck You Kiddin", available for download HERE

The well known street artist Chief Keef has yet to drop his new and first mixtape since he has been out of jail titled Back From the Dead but his first single release Bang has his fans wanting more. During the interview he explains where he got the concept "Bang" from. "Bang came from...shid, my life. Bang! That's why I made Bang, I did it under the influence though, but Bang came from just my life and shit and what's going on around me and everything...that's where Bang came from." Chief Keef stated.

RUMOR: Chrissy from "Love & Hip Hop" Dated Jay Z, Got Her Teeth Knocked Out By Ex AND Robbed Him?!

2012-01-10T18:52:00.000-06:00

Now that VH1's "Love & Hip Hop" have peaked high ratings on the network, of course rumors are going to follow. But these aren't just ANY rumors!

The "Diary of A Hollywood Street King" CLAIMS that Chrissy, now 42, dated Jay Z back when Jay was around 23. Now, it has me thinking if the line in Allure was about our very own, Chrissy Lampkin.

“And all the Laura’s of the world I feel your pain/to all the Chrissy’s in every city and Tiffany Lanes.”

Chrissy has real tough skin so that means she had to go through a thing or two to toughen up. Even if it means getting her teeth knocked out by an ex named Alpo who was a notorious Harlem drug kingpin THEN robbing him. (Side note: They made a movie on Alpo’s life called Paid In Full, where Cam’ron plays Alpo. Dude was real ruthless.)

Here's Chrissy with fiance Jim Jones
Here's an excerpt from "The Diary of a Hollywood Kingpin"...

Chrissy has been hustling since she was 15 years old. She’s now 42, and she’s been using her p*ssy to get Gucci and gold.

Chrissy and her crew were involved in different crimes like credit card schemes, shoplifters, mules from NYC to D.C. They were setting up dudes to get robbed. Chrissy has dated dope boys like the infamous drug kingpin Alpo Martinez and his partner Rich Porter also three New York Knick players. She even slept with Jay Z when he was 23 years old.

Chrissy’s last trick/sponsor/boyfriend cheated on her with a popular video hoe. Chrissy decided to rob him for $32,000 then she ran to Miami to shop and have fun on his dime. Then dude and his crew tracked Chrissy down. The Nicca knocked out her front teeth and in return Chrissy had her peeps send him a message that if he does not pay for her dental bill and buy her breast implants he’s going to get hit with the Rico Act. Dude paid all Chrissy’s bills and that was the end of her and street dudes. Chrissy took her skills to reality television hoping her broke rapper boyfriend will help her to continue to live a easy lifestyle.

Sheeeesh! Chrissy's still my girl on the show.

Brooklyn man claims Jay Z & Beyonce prevented him from seeing his premature twins

2012-01-09T13:23:00.000-06:00

On Wednesday, January 4, Neil Coulon's wife brought two twin girls into the world at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. The twins, delivered via C-section, were premature and underweight, meaning they went straight to hospital's Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit. Then, on Friday, Beyoncé and Jay-Z shut down an entire floor of Lenox Hill for the birth of their child, Blue Ivy Carter.Now Coulon, a contractor from Bed-Stuy, is claiming that the headset-wearing security brought to the hospital by hip-hop's most powerful couple kept him from visiting his newborn children.“Three times they stopped me from entering or exiting the NICU (Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit) and it happened once on Friday — just because they wanted to use the hallway,” Coulon said.The hospital has not officially released a statement commenting on the situation.

It's inevitable that 2012 will mark the rise of making stores payments with your phone the same way you'd swipe that VISA. Apps like Google Wallet have been picking up a little momentum lately, but with a lack of in-store hardware to conduct the transactions, my advice is to hold onto your wallets a little while longer.

Jay Z talks NEW solo album + WTT 2 in 2012

2011-12-09T07:47:00.000-06:00

Jay tells MTV News that, not only is he considering dropping a solo album, but also potentially re-teaming with ‘Ye for another Throne album.

Jay-Z is contemplating re-teaming with Kanye West and blessing his fans with another Watch the Throne album next year.

Hov revealed to MTV News that, not only is he considering dropping a solo album, but also potentially re-joining forces with ‘Ye for another Throne banger.

“It depends on how this thing finishes up,” Jay said in reference to his and Kanye’s current Watch the Throne Tour. “We — I say ‘we’ because I’m in Throne mode — we’re in a great place creatively. You might see a Jay, then Kanye and a Throne album next year. You know, we’re really in a great place creatively. We really found our zone.”

It’s been two years since Jay dropped his last LP, The Blueprint 3, but back in July, during an intimate listening session for the then-unreleased WTT in New York City, Jay revealed to a room of media insiders that he had two songs already recorded for his yet-untitled 11th solo album. He hasn’t talked about it much since.

Kanye, on the other hand, released his last solo album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, in 2010, which was a musical success, but was noticeably absent from the Album of the Year category when Grammy nominations were announced last month. During a December 1 Throne concert in his hometown of Chicago, Yeezy addressed the snub, blaming himself for releasing two masterpieces, MBDTF and Watch the Throne in the same year.

“Don’t worry, because me and Hov are gonna keep on making shit,” he told the crowd.

Jay, who on Thursday (December 8) announced a pair of charity concerts at New York’s Carnegie Hall, didn’t give official word about when fans can expect any of the three projects.—Gina Montana (XXL)
