Jay-Z & Beyonce’s Baby Arrived!

Edited by

Beyonce checked into Lenox Hill Hospital on NYC’s upper east side late Friday night (they supposedly rented the entire hospital floor for $1.3 Million!) and at 2AM this Sunday morning January 8, she has officially given birth to her and Jay-Z‘s daughter Blue Ivy Carter.  Checked into the hospital under the name Ingrid Jackson, the couple went through large measures to ensure that the labor was a private affair.  They covered up security cameras with tape, took away employees cell phones when entering the floor, and had security guards checking the perimeter.  The color blue is Jay-Z’s favorite and the roman numeral supposedly has a special meaning to Beyonce, hence the name Ivy.  The hip-hop royal has already gotten twitter love from Auntie Rihanna, Uncle Russel Simmons, and one social media savvy vixen who has already jumped the gun on taking over the Blue Ivy Carter  twitter handle, feeding us funny quips and clever RT’s.  Judging by the time at which we are posting this and the list of twitter topics at the moment (Aunty Gaga, Uncle Kanye, Godmother Nicki to name a few) we are sure to see a LOT of the new baby Blue Ivy. Congrats!

Beyonce Werqing Her Baby Bump on Harper’s Bazaar

Edited by

Sasha Beyonce Fierce graces the November cover of Harper’s Bazaar and she. is. werqing. it. (Thanks to our fave Terry Richardson, of course).  With hair bigger than her baby bump will ever be, she dishes about her pregnancy, motherhood, marriage, her hip hop hubbie king Jay-Z, and more. And although we are fully aware how those photoshopped Barbie twigs could never be her real thighs, we’ve at least got the best real quotes and behind the scenes pics right here…

How To Look Ghetto: Rap About Not Wearing Tight Clothes

Edited by

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pABR7CoM5uA&[/youtube]

So the war between hip hoppers who wear baggy jeans and those who wear tight jeans has begun. Really!?! Is this how pathetic hip hop has become. There was a time that battles we’re fought over police brutality and drug blocks, now it’s all about fashion.

In the video above, gang violence is advocated as a way to handle tight jeans in your neighborhood. The following disclaimer hits the video before some Soulja Boy wannabes lay down weak rhymes over an annoying repetitive hook.

WARNING: Wearing tight clothes by men may result in feminine tendencies, homosexuality, possible yeast infection, severe hemmorrhoids [sic], permanent wedgies, & genetically inherited transexual [sic] characteristics in your son.

All those things sound way better than the poor grammar and spelling you’d genetically inherit if you dressed like a late nineties gang banger.  Seriously, though the yeast infection part is pretty funny.

Listen, you fucking baggy jeans wearing homos on the downlow. Wearing tight jeans doesn’t make you gay, but wearing jeans to your ankles does. Everyone knows (a.k.a. non-ghetto people) where the sag came from. It was a prison ritual to determine who was a bitch.  So if you wear saggy jeans and showcase your fresh draws that makes you the bitch you ignant.

On the flip side, wearing tight jeans that squeeze your nuts to the point that I have to wonder whether or not you have a dick is also not cool. So everyone, just by a pair of jeans that fit.

Also, does the tight clothes thing apply to females as well?  Cause there are way to many girls out there who have no reason to be rocking XSmall tees over XXL fat rolls. Can you make a rap for ladies as well?  Some of us are trying to keep our breakfast down.

Update: The rappers are from Brooklyn. Wonder if they want to do Fashion Indie Week Brooklyn?
