Club Promenade- 215 West 28th Street Between 7th and 8th Avenue

10pm- 4am

Knock Out Ent., GQ Promotions. The SplachLife Ent. present a grand event fit for the hip-hop masses. After devouring a delicious turkey if you are in New York, throw on your finest garments and head to Promenade along with The Knockout Boys to party it up with Brooklyn’s finest- Fabolous! Fab will be hosting and performing, so learn those “Throw It In The Bag” lyrics (You don’t want to be the only person not singing along!)

Usually we question which came first, the chicken or the egg (I’m going to say the chicken), but this time around another inquiry comes to mind. In light of Trey Songz “inventing sex,” one would have to wonder which came first- the R&B singer or sex (mind boggling isn’t it)? Trey isn’t the first to brag about such qualities. There have been many before him and will be plenty after him. So, here’s what we are going to do- let’s take a look at some of our favorite love crooners and examine them closely to see which one came before the other!

Batting first is of course Mr. Songz>

Evidence Entries 1-3-”Invented Sex,” “Scratchin’ Me Up,” “In The Middle”

“Girl can we take it upstairs? My bed is waiting there. All I want to do is give me all of you, won’t you give me all of you?”

Verdict: Due to the facts and evidence given, duh! Trey came before sex!

Next is Chris Brown>

Evidence Entries 1-3-”Take You Down,” “Sing Like Me,” “Back To The Crib”

“Pretty girl lets take it off in this room, no time to waste girl you know what we came to do”

Verdict: Sorry Chris- sex came before you. A little more practice though and you might be able to invent some sex!

Third To Bat> Usher

Evident Entries 1-3- “Nice and Slow,” “Trading Places,” “Bedtime”

“I’m dying to taste you, I cant deny. Can’t get it out of my mind, please let me hold you because I need your loving tonight!”
Verdict: Usher may be an old-head now, but with a classic song like “Nice and Slow,” it’s obvious Usher came before sex!

Our Pinch Hitters> Pretty Ricky

Evidence Entries 1-3- “Juicy,” “Love Like Honey,” “Play House”

“I’m tasting every drop like at the candy shop, I lick your lollipop, I’ll put that thang on lock. Ill let you climb onto and let that nookie pop”

Verdict: Sex came before Pretty Ricky, but they’re on their way to making the bed rock!

Lastly: (Cue drums in the background) R.Kelly>

Evidence Entires 1-3- “Sex Me,” “Honey Love,” “Bump N’ Grind”

“There’s something in your eyes baby, telling me you want me baby, tonight is your night. See you don’t have to ask for nothing I’ll give you everything you need. so girl don’t be shy.”

Verdict: What a no-brainer! R.Kelly definitly came before sex. In fact- sorry Trey, Kellz Invented it!

Get ready for disaster! That’s exactly what the plot and script for 2012 are- a disaster almost worth crying over. Mix that with exceptional special effects and you have yourself a movie worth watching but not listening to.  (Better bring headphones.)  Although 2012 embodies every movie cliche, you would have to see it in theaters to appreciate the tsunamis, earthquakes, and fire balls…so there goes that $11.50.

According to The Mayan calendar the world is set to end on Decemeber 22nd, 2012. There is about two cents of scientific fact in the movie and the film doesn’t go into depth on why the world will end, but who cares, right?  Watching John Cusack outrun earthquakes is mind boggling enough. Better yet, try driving through a collapsing building- bet you can’t!

2012 claims”We Were Warned,” so in case these cataclysmic events do happen, take it from Cusack and director Roland Emmerich: Get an airplane, buy a ticket for the arc that the government is building in China (for around one billion Euros), and make sure you bring a screwdriver!

Whelp! Everyone can’t be Jay-Z all day!

Nowadays all most celeb’s drive fabulous cars, but back in the day before all the glitz and glam what automobile would they have been driving-that would have needed a little pimping?

Mase, his slow rhymes on the little yellow school bus. This pretty much has everything you would need except maybe a T.V in the headrest.

Yeah Jigga walk right out the club into that Camry. Get some blue lights, to match your Yankee fitted.

Don’t know how that would look with rims but it would be worth a try Em.

Aw, look at the little hatchback. Throw some tints on the windows and you could of had a little Chris- Mobile.

Looking like that Mariah, you and your fourteen kids would have fit perfectly in a station-wagon. Open the trunk and put a Playstation in it for Nick cannon!

Well sorry 50, but I dont think the police will us trick this ride. Good thing you turned your life around though, hopefully no more trips in that truck!

T.I- Heard you were kind of really  broke before you came “The Rubber Band Man” the bus may have been your only means to get around. Good thing is you can definitaley fit 28″ rims on those tires. The A/C always works and its more advanced than any Bentley- you can fit wheelchairs on it!

The only thing she should be riding!

Last week, Beanie Sigel released his diss track “Average Cat” against his long time partner and friend Jay-Z. In the song, He claims that Jay at his September 11th tribute concert “called the police on me//cause I was front row at the Blue Print 3.” He also raps “I can say shit, that will make Bey look at you different.”

At one point, Rocafella Records reigned supreme with hits and artists that ruled hip-hop. There was a time when the Roc expanded its resume and ventured into Hollywood with movies like The Streets Is Watching, and Backstage. Memphis Bleek, Amil, DJ Clue, Young Guns, Nore, Freeway, “Beanz,” Dame Dash, and of course, Jay added thespian to their repertoires. The Roc’s most successful movie venture was State Property (2002). It put lyricist Beanie Sigel in the forefront and he led the way straight through Lionsgate studio onto our theater screens. The movie didn’t have incredible numbers, but it instantly became a hood classic.

Besides Jay, Beanie was the next best thing on Rocafella. Memphis Bleek couldn’t rap, and Amil played the token female mcee position and The Young Guns and Freeway couldn’t sell records. However, as a whole they were hot! If you didn’t like “Do It Again” or “What We Do”  then you didn’t appreciate the Roc!

But, like any record label there were  problems looming in the air and in the backgrounds. After dissecting Beanz diss track it seems as though he was the backbone of the Roc. He brought all the talent to the label, and he maned all battle stations when rocks were being thrown at the throne. He even would’ve taken a bullet for the Roc at the time!

Leave it to Jay-Z to defend himself by retaliating with, “What people choose to do when they attain that type of success … at some point, you gotta look in the mirror and look at yourself. Beanie Sigel had a record deal, a record label, and a clothing line. Never went platinum, ever. I don’t know in the history of rap, if anyone has done so much with so little.” Jay gave him all that stuff because he was his friend, but Jay, where is what Beanz actually earned?

By the way after losing to Nas, Jay hasn’t thrown a rebuttal to anyone who could rap so if Jigga and Beanz got into a lyrical battle, who would win?
