Two metro Atlanta school districts have reportedly banned T.I. from making an appearance in their schools to speak to students.
As reported earlier, the Atlanta bred rapper plead guilty to various weapons charges last month as part of a plea deal to avoid trial.
Under the agreement, T.I. was ordered to spend at least 1,000 hours over the next year speaking against drugs, guns and gangs to “at-risk youth”.
According to WBSTV, Cobb County school officials said Wednesday (April 23) that T.I. was not allowed to visit their schools because of recent gang problems and the death of a student.
Fulton County school officials said T.I. is banned from their schools because of his conviction on the gun charges. (Source)
BIBLE
“I carry a small Bible with me everywhere I go. When I go to the club I have to find a purse that it fits in. If I’m filming, I read the Bible before I get on set so I can get centered. I feel incomplete if I don’t have a Bible with me.”
TAPE OF PROPHECY
“Last year, everyone was talking about this guy Louis who prophesizes through the spirit and prays over you. I think some people are blessed with the gift of sight, and you’ll know the real from the fake. I met him and he prophesized over my year. If I get down, I play the tape. That day definitely changed my life.”
UGG BOOTS
“An artist by the name of Jonah was inspired and asked me, ’Can I see your UGGs? Do you mind if I write on them?’ I didn’t care. They were dirty. He did the first one and I was like, ’Oh yeah! Holla at this other one right now!’ My nickname is Boogie, so he wrote ’Boogie’ on the side. He did these in five minutes, and I wore them in ATL.”
FUNNY GIRL
“I am obsessed with Barbra Streisand. She’s the underdog. As a kid, I felt my chances [of acting] were long; my mother was a single parent in an abusive relationship and knew nothing about Hollywood. But [Barbra] overcame her obstacles, so I knew I could overcome mine.”
The New York Sun newspaper is reporting that major retailers on both coasts are limiting customers’ purchases of flour, rice and cooking oil.
The Sun reports that a Costco Warehouse in California ran out of rice, frustrating shoppers. “Where’s the rice?” an engineer from Palo Alto, Calif., Yajun Liu, said. “You should be able to buy something like rice. This is ridiculous.”
The rice that is left is selling at near one dollar a pound, and in some areas, customers report paying about $30 for a 25-pound bag.
Most Costco members were only allowed to buy only one bag. One clerk reportedly dropped two sacks back on the stack after taking them from a customer who tried to buy more than the one bag limit.
“Due to the limited availability of rice, we are limiting rice purchases based on your prior purchasing history,” a sign above the dwindling supply said, the Sun reports.
Shoppers said the limits had been in place for a few days, and that rice supplies had been spotty for a few weeks. A store manager referred questions to officials at Costco headquarters near Seattle, who did not return calls or e-mail messages to the Sun.
A New York Costco reportedly was not restricting rice, but is limiting oil and flour. Rumors floating on the Internet say that bakery owners bought up flour at warehouse stores after their commercial suppliers doubled their prices.
Spiking food prices have led to riots in recent weeks in Haiti, Indonesia, and several African nations. India recently banned export of all but the highest quality rice, and Vietnam blocked the signing of a new contract for foreign rice sales. (Full Story)
"Sonier and the Lee County cops are busy installing “custom-made cameras” in fire hydrants, on exit signs in apartment buildings, and metal underneath cars. “Citizens don’t know what we do,” bragged Lee County Sheriff Lt. Gary Desrosiers of the Technical Investigations Unit. “And that’s a good thing.” It was presumably a good thing in East Germany, too, or so the fascist control freaks who once ran that country no doubt believed."

"R&B star Ray J has hit back at love rival Bobby Brown over jibes about him in his upcoming book. Ray J has been dating Brown’s ex-wife Whitney Houston since the couple split last year (07) and he doesn’t appreciate Brown calling him a “little man” in his new book. Although he has nothing personal against his girlfriend’s ex-husband, he urges Brown to stop dwelling on the negative about his marriage to Houston. Ray J tells In Touch magazine, “I think what Bobby’s saying in his book is just ridiculous. He should really go back in and pray and figure out what he should do on the positive tip.” (Source)
"Probably the wildest is, lately, girls [are] putting H2O in their bodies and then having [it] shoot out like waterfalls. And it wasn’t just a little bit. You had to step back because the water was shooting everywhere. They’re very talented. Unk, Baby D, Berg and I in St. Louis in this penthouse. The whole Koch crew was in that mug. They rented out this room for us and just brought [the girls] in. I directed that. I was like, "Yo, we gotta do something different. Why don’t ya’ll take this gallon of water and pour it inside of you and let that sh*t shoot out." She was like, "Okay." She sucked her stomach in a little bit and just pushed [it] out. It damn near got on my pants. I was 10 feet away." (Link)
Dipset member Freekey Zekey was nearly killed last night, when he was involved in a near fatal, three car pile-up accident last night (April 15) in New York.
The rapper was in Harlem, at a stop light on 115th and 1st Avenue, when a 300 Chrysler hit his 2007 White S550 Mercedes Benz from behind.
The impact of the collision sent Zeke and a friend in air, landing them into a parked Hummer, where a passenger was still inside.
While the rapper's Mercedes Benz was completely totaled, Zeke escaped with his life.
KEEP THE FAITH is Faith Evan’s first person account of life at ground zero Rebuilding-Ground-Zero of hip-hop’s greatest generation.
She’ll share the truth about the love affair that changed her life, and the innuendo that rocked the hip-hop world to its core. From her passionate and tragically short-lived life with Biggie, Faith will finally lay the true story on the line.
We’ll get to see the good, the bad and the ugly side of P Diddy; nobody knew either quite as well as Faith. (Props To I'm Hip-Hop)
"We walked in one day and Faith was sitting on Pac’s lap while Pac was writing a verse. It was like, “What the f*ck is going on?” That was one of the craziest sights, dog. Faith was in Pac’s lap. I was like, “What the fuck? I know I’m not? Is that? It can’t?” Three weeks later, “Hit ‘Em Up” came out. There’s a couple of people that came up out of that camp. Bow Wow was in Snoop’s camp. Keyshia Cole was always through Death Row in her younger days. I used to see Keyshia all the time in there with Pac. I’m not hating on nobody. I got love for Faith. That was unbelievable, during the time of the East Coast-West Coast beef." (Source)
Q. Who is T.I. — or Clifford Harris, Jr., now?
A. It's hard to say because a lot of things are the same and a lot of things have changed. I still have a huge amount of passion for what I do. I still have a huge amount of passion for doing what I can for the community. I still have my foundation — remembering where I came from and principles that have been instilled in me. But at the same time I also have an acknowledgement of things that need to be left behind, let go. And also an acknowledgment that there has to be an about-face. A 180-degree turn, in order for us to continue on the path to success.
Q. Do you feel lucky?
A. I feel blessed. Lucky ain't the word. It's by the grace of God that I'm here.
Q. People don't hear you talking about God on record or in person.
A. When you do the amount of praying that anybody in a situation similar to mine spends the time doing, and for that prayer to work, and for you to have other people praying for you to get through the situation - or to see the situation beginning to look up — and not acknowledge that's what helped the situation, I think that's blasphemous.
Q. You probably did more praying between October and last month than maybe you ever have, huh?
A. Nah, nah, I can't say that. I've always [drifts off] situations tend to arise and prayer tends to give the strength to get through it. I've always recognized that I'm blessed to be here. I've said that in my music — plenty of times. So may different outcomes could have been mine... God shows me favor for some reason or another.
Q.What have you learned bout yourself, being on house arrest for months?
A. Patience. Just a lot of patience. If I can sit at home all day and wait on people to bring me what I need. Wait on getting permission to be able to do this and do that it's not as serious as I used to make it sometimes. Sometimes it was like, 'If I don't get this right now I'm just going to lose it'...When you're going 350 mph it tends to be that way. But when you are stopped — halted — not slowed down, but halted, you figure 'Well I could have just slowed down. I didn't have to be stopped.' I thought it was bad just to slow down. Now I see in me being stopped, I could have done this, been this, myself, instead of being forced to do it. (Full Interview)
Wayne told Billboard that "It's one of those albums people are really waiting on, so I made it so that whatever is on it will stick with you forever. I'm taking my time with it. And I'm giving artists I respect and people I want to do songs with -- not songs the label fixed -- an opportunity to collaborate."
