Spencer Pratt Calls Himself “The Future Of Hip-Hop” & Then Proceeds To Bash Beyonce

Posted on 22 May 2009 by Tammy Cakes

What is wrong with Spencer Pratt? What world is he living in? He is now calling himself “the future of hip-hop.” Are you kidding me? I hate whoever it is that is helping with his album, who ever it is that is making him think that he’s actually cool and worth the time of day.

Here is part of the crazy interview Spencer had with Complex magazine:

You also said, “I’m like the white Jay-Z.” Would you consider Heidi the white Beyoncé? More than the white Beyoncé. Beyoncé had to be built by a group, Destiny’s Child. Heidi shines solo. I’ll actually give you an exclusive: I guarantee you Speidi’s “Bonnie & Clyde” version is going to stunt on Jay and B’s version.

Whose rapping career would you use as a blueprint for yourself? I think I’m the future of hip-hop. You know, I feel bad for saying that. That’s unfortunate, but that’s a fact. You can’t compare my model of hip-hop with what I’m about to come out with versus anything in the game. You know I’ll take the Diddy route. I’m not a lyrical MC, I’m just like Diddy. Look what it did for him? He is still balling.

I know you said you’re trying to infiltrate the ringtone game? Yeah. People are not even going to have time to listen to radio in their cars because they are going to be talking on their phones or twittering, or BBM’ing. So I feel like the only time people are going to hear music is when your phone rings, so that’s the whole market I’m going after. I don’t care about the clubs, I don’t care about the radio, all I care about is getting my digital downloads like Soulja Boy.

The bottom line is, if every single platinum song right now wasn’t auto-tuned, then I would be like, “I can’t be a rapper.” The fact that I could get up to perfect pitch just like Kanye West now, and T-Pain, it’s an even playing field. I don’t have to have talent. I just need to have auto-tune and be allowed to have the hottest track in the game, and my swaga.

What planet is Spencer on that he is the only one that is as good as Jay-Z, T-Pain, and Kanye and Heidi is better than Beyonce. Can someone please but the stray jacket on him already. He needs a patted room quick and throw in his wifey while you’re at it. I’m sure she’s helping keep his delusions alive.

Rapper Yung Berg Arrested

Posted on 10 August 2008 by Loretta

Rapper Yung Berg, who’s real name is Christian Ward, was arrested in New York on Saturday, August 9th.

Police were called to investigate a dispute between a limo driver and five passengers, and ended up arresting Yung Berg and his friends on several charges. Berg is being charged with criminal possession of a weapon, possession of marijuana, and menacing.

This isn’t the first time Berg has been arrested. He was arrested back in December 2007 for smoking marijuana while on the set for Ray J’s video ‘Sexy Can I.”

Hopefully, he has learned his lesson this time… though, I doubt it.

Rapper Lil Kim gets a visit from the Repo Man

Posted on 30 April 2008 by Loretta

Lil-KimWhile reporting on the rising numbers of car repossessions CW11 and a repo crew make a stop at the home of Rapper Lil Kim. Repo man Cyro Miranda claims that Kim has failed to make payments on her silver Bentley for the past four months. When asked by the repo men if she was aware of the past due amount Kim said that, “She’d have her accountant take care of the problem.” Cyro had hoped that she would willingly hand over the keys, but, he said, “She didn’t want to cooperate. Basically she told us to get off the property.”

Lil-Kim

When the CW11 reporters went to the door for a comment Lil Kim told them, “Oh please, get the f*** outta here, you are so f***ing ridiculous.” Lil Kim’s publicist, Tracy Nguyen, stated that the car (similar to the one pictured below), “Was a gift given four years ago. This matter is currently being resolved and is completely out of Kim’s hands.” Lil-Kim

I bet Lil Kim is still waiting for Ashton to jump out of the bushes. Sorry Kim this is real, you weren’t Punk’d.

T.I., the rapper who’s currently under house arrest shares how he maintains his fast-paced lifestyle, his plans to marry and start a family with girlfriend Tiny, staying out of trouble, his friendship with Suge Knight and Jay-Z, and retiring from rap.

“It’s definitely not the look I’m going for. I’m working diligently, daily, to try to reform, and rectify these things. But until I do, I need everybody to bare with me. If they can’t bare with me one way, they gonna have to bare with me another.”

Nicole, the Pussycat Doll, speaks about going solo, her admiration for Beyoncé and Gwen Stefani, getting up close and personal with T.I., being a nerd in college, and dealing with the paparazzi.

“There were a couple weeks when I actually went out and got a taste of that media stuff and I was not feeling it. I don’t want to be known just as some socialite or for what I’m wearing.”

Kanye West whines like a little girl

Posted on 11 September 2007 by admin


kanye-west-whines.jpg

Kanye West threw a tantrum after being shut out at the VMAs. While waiting for an elevator after the show, he started flipping out in front of the media and backstage crew about losing the five categories he was nominated in. He claims he’ll never return to MTV. The Associated Press reports:

“That’s two years in a row, man … give a black man a chance,” said West, stomping around his entourage and directing his comments at a reporter. “I’m trying hard man, I have the … No. 1 record, man.” It was the latest outburst from West at an awards show. Last year, he crashed the stage at the MTV Europe Awards after not winning for best video.Is Kanye West menstruating? Is that the deal here? Is he feeling a bit crampy, bloated? Maybe he should take a nice hot bath, eat some chocolate and watch a little Lifetime. Tomorrow is a brand new day and he can go pick up that purse that keeps catching his eye. There’ll be another chance for a VMA, and next time Kanye West will win Best Female Artist which he’ll be eligible for. Because of his vagina.

Earl “DMX” Simmons Likes Setting Dogs on Fire?

Posted on 27 August 2007 by admin

dmx.jpg

Rapper DMX, best remembered for screaming about losing his mind between consistent blasts of a whistle, seems to like killing dogs almost as much as Falcons quarterbackMichael Vick. TMZ reports

Maricopa County, Ariz. Sheriff’s Department raided rapper DMX’s home in Cave Creek and removed 12 distressed pit bulls. DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, has a long rap sheet, which includes a guilty plea to animal cruelty charges in 2002. A further search of the property yielded three canine corpses, one of which “seemed to be burned.” Also found — “a large number of weapons, some drug paraphernalia, and a lot of cars that don’t match the license plates.”

Well, there’s something you don’t see every day. A brotha with a stock pile of weapons and a bunch of stolen cars in his backyard. I asked my grandpa for his take on it, and he looked at me and said, “Well, what’d ya expect, dummy? You give ‘em forty acres and a mule and let ‘em vote and it’s bound to happen again.” “Um, what’s bound to happen, Grandpa?” I asked. “Hitch up the wagon, we’re goin’ into town! My pockets are on fire. Tuesday!” So then I pressed the button on his morphine drip and paged the nurse to empty his bed pan again.

Love Just Seems to Elude Flavor Flav

Posted on 04 August 2007 by admin

Love Just Seems to Elude Flavor Flav

Flav’s just a big romantic at heart. Seriously, guys. The man is trying to find himself a long-lasting love to last a lifetime and somehow, every time he gets involved in a reality television competition whose goal it is to do just that, he ends up empty-handed by the time the show’s finale even airs. Flav’s just looking for someone he can share his hopes, dreams and clock collection and with whom he can grow old. I’m totally sure that’s what he’s hoping for every season, and not simply a boatload of new asses to tap. And once again, Flav will find himself staring down a room full of contestants, each eager to win his heart/clock and who are willing to screw a black leprechaun to get it. I’m tearing up, it just all sounds so romantic.

For those lucky gals willing to risk contracting a new and exotic STD, there’s an online voting competition going on, in which prospective contestants can upload videos of themselves in the hopes of getting cast on the show. If you’re bendy, handy with the Vaseline and comfortable in all kinds of spandex, I suggest you hustle and get your video online pronto.
