Friday, February 26th, 2010

Two Florida teens were arrested after authorities say they accidentally called 911 on themselves while breaking into a car.

19-year-old Stefanie Vargas and 13-year-old Kristian Amezquita were caught red handed stealing items from vehicles outside of a Daytona Beach strip club.

The 13-year-old tells police that his sister was inside dancing while he committed the crime with the woman's girlfriend, Stefanie Vargas.

Vargas accidentally dialed the cops through a button on her cell phone.

911 dispatchers alerted police after hearing the girl give the child directions like,

“You got to break the SIM card. Take that SIM card out. They can trace it. If there's nothing there, leave it. Trust me, God always works in mysterious ways. If you be greedy, that's when you get caught up, alright?


As well as...

“Put the purse in my coat. Try to see if you see a GPS or something…look under the seats!”

Each was charged with one count of burglary of a conveyance.

SMH...they should be on an episode of world's dumbest crooks.

Friday, February 26th, 2010

After an all white sorority beat an all Black set of step teams for the Sprite Step-Off Coca-Cola is announcing plans to award a second team with prize money, calling the competition a tie.

Members of Alpha Kappa Alpha's Tau Chapter will be awarded $100,000 after being named co-winners with members of Zeta Tau Alpha's Epsilon Chapter.

Zeta Tau Alpha's win last weekend sparked controversy after the all white team beat out six Black fraternities and six Black sororities for the top spot.

Afte reviewing scoring materials Coca-Cola claims there was a “scoring discrepancy” and made the decision to award the Alpha Kappa Alpha team.

They released a statement saying,

“Due to the extremely narrow margin between the first and second place winning sororities, we conducted a further post-competition review and discovered a scoring discrepancy. There is no conclusive interpretation, nor definitive resolution for the discrepancy."

Scoring discrepancy or just an attempt to cool down controversy?

Hmmmm…I wonder.

Friday, February 26th, 2010

It seems that Yung Berg isn't the only rapper that is trying to clear his name in regards to a robbery as now you can add Diddy to the list as well.

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

Rah Digga is back after seven years to drop a new track to prepare fans for a new album.

Hopefully it's really coming.

The Flipmode Squad Queen has linked up with Nottz to release “Warning Shots,” a track which gives us a taste of the old “Dirty Harriet.”

Although she pays homage to Lauryn Hill in the opening of the track, Rah Digga has made it plain that she is not to be messed with among the female MCs.

“Turn the blues to sunnys no more Hugh Hef Bunnies/ In this game new money if thirty's the new twenty/ Miss thirty to you honey, respect you elders, I'm that teacher who'll fail you/ Fawk around expel you.”

With all of the fire coming from the females in the game, 2010 just might be the year of the Female MC.

Peep the track and comment and let us know what you think:
