of high-profile parts and lucrative film deals.

the next day it was all over the news.
Anyway,

now comes word that J and twelve of his friends were

chillin' up in VIP when when some dudes rushed

his spot and sprayed Jamie and his posse

with bottles of champagne!

They say Jamie and his friends were drenched!

A fight ensued, who knows what happened next,

Ty Ty Got Community Service for Best of Both Worlds Backstage Brawl

Remember when R. Kelly got pepper sprayed

in Madison Square Garden at the infamous

Best of Both Worlds concert with Kells and Jay Z?

Well, Tyran "Ty Ty" Smith pleaded guilty to the

deed yesterday in Manhattan Criminal court.

Ty was charged with assault, but it was lowered to

disorderly conduct, and he got four days of community service.

Oh, and after Ty sprayed Kells, Jay Z gave him an

executive position over at Def Jam.

So..... a hype man who pepper sprayed R. Kelly got an

executive postion at Def Jam from Jay,

but Damon Dash, who put Jay on, got nothing.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

You Know It's Hard Out Here For A Puff

Things aren't going too well for Sean "Puffy" Combs

Sheesh, where do I start?

Remember Citizen Change?

Sure ya do. You know, Vote or Die?

Well, Citizen Change is in tax trouble.

The IRS is all up in that, and the numbers look decidedly, uh.....funny.

The web site for Citizen Change is gone and so are its offices.

Sean Jones clothes is canceling lines. The women's line

got down graded from Barney's to Marshall's

Ouch!

His cooking show, the one that was supposed to star

rock em' sock em' Naomi Campbell?

Cancelled before it even got on the air.

Even his former manservant,

Franzworth Bentley

signed with Kanye West's record lable rather than Bad Boy.

Speaking of Bad Boy, they ain't had a hit in years that

didn't have something to do with Biggie Smalls

who died back in 1997.

How long can a dead rapper be your main roster?

I'm ah start a Puff watch,

and keep ya'll

Damon Dash In King Magazine

So, my King magazine showed up and I was all prepared to hate on Dame,

but I can't.

Yeah, he was kinda cryin' and you could tell he was heart-broke,

but he brought up some interesting points.

We all know the story about how Jay Z "retired" from rappin',

left Dame's Roc A Fella Records, then showed up as

the president of Def Jam and then took The Roc

from Dame and how Dame was all shocked and hurt an' stuff.

Anyway,

After the sh*t went down, Dame says he seen Jay at a Puffy party and

Jay tells him,

"If you let me have the masters to Reasonable Doubt, you can have

Roc A Fella back. Dame say he was like, cool, but they other partner,

Kareem "Biggs" Burke was like,

"F*ck, that n*gga Jay! How he gon do that to his boys!"

So Dame said, he just let it go.

But check it!

Dame say when Jay was on Roc A Fella,

he was getting 20 points a record!

20 points!?!

Then, the Roc would spend 7 million in marketing

on top of what they was paying Jay.

Dame say, the whole Roc wouldn't eat behind that sh*t.

That Jay Z is diabolical.

He think Dame don't deserve nathan?

Then I read a funny thing in the NY Post this morning.

Lionel Richie performed at a concert and all the stars came out

Even Kimora and Russ came...toghether.....in seperate bentleys....

Anyway

Jay and Beyonce was supposed to be there too,

but when Jay found out

Dame was gonna be there, he backed out.

All the time I read about Jay leaving

out the back door of parties when Dame show up.

I don't know, I might have to switch up, ya'll.

Go Team Dash!

And you gon laugh when you read what Dame said about Kanyeezee!

Proof's Funeral

Check the last stage pass for family members.

Bomb sniffing dogs....at a funeral.

If you need to wear a bullet proof vest to a funeral,

you might want to stay home.

Is Hip Hop Over?

It might be if Clear Channel has anything to do with it.

FoxNews is reporting that Clear Channel has

been quietly telling its stations that

by the end of the year, Hip Hop and Rap would be "over" and to

expect significant changes.

This week's top twenty chart only has 3 Hip Hop CDs on it

LL, Ne-Yo, and T.I.

Pretty soon Hip Hop won't be so nice

No Ice Cube, just Vanilla Ice!

Is This 1954?

Here is a page from an algebra test administered by

a community college in Washington State.

A word problem on velocity uses a woman named Condolezza, and

asks you to calculate the speed at which a

watermelon she drops from a

federal building will hit the ground.

Though this question has appeared on tests

in the past, only this year has anybody complained.

The teacher who wrote the test has been sent to sensitivity training.

Yeah, that'll help.

hold your mouse on the pic, wait for the little orange square

in the lower right hand corner and click it
