TOP 10 MOST TATTOOED CITIES IN AMERICA

So who sits at number one? Well it’s not Austin, TX. Although we did manage to come in 6th place over all the cities in the United States. Not bad, unless you’re one of the type of people that are against tattoos. Anyways, so the number one spot was taken by Miami and L.A. with number two. Here’s what the report had to say about Austin (ATX),

No. 6: Austin, Texas
Called “accepting” of heavily tattooed individuals, this increasingly hip college town and “Live Music Capital of the World” is visited by young, “artsy” tattooed people from all over, at least once a year, at its South by Southwest (SXSW) festival. Not to mention its Reggae Festival and Film Festival, among others. Most of Austin’s population is also age 25 to 44, prime for tattoo getters, and there are about 7.5 shops per 100,000 people. One chat forum we came across had several individuals say they’d never seen so many tattooed people in one city.

OCHOCINCO FINED $25,000 FOR POSTING TO TWITTER DURING FOOTBALL GAME

Well if the NFL season doesn’t start until Ochocinco gets his first fine, then the season has officially started. The NFL has slapped Ochocinco with a $25,00 fine for possessin’ an electronic device and postin’ messages on Twitter on August 20th, durin’ his teams’ preseason football game against the Philidelphia Eagles.

By NFL rules, players are not allowed to post messages on Social sites 90 minutes before kickoff and can’t continue until all post game media obligations have been met.

Ochocinco addressed the fine on Twitter by sayin’,

“I’ve been fined by the league a substantial amount of money for tweeting, 1st time twitter hasn’t made me money but cost me money,”

And on another Tweet,

“Dear NFL I apologize for tweeting during the game but that was 2 months of my Bugatti payments you just took from me, I won’t do it again,”

I guess we’ll see if he learns his lesson.

OBAMA APROVES $6 MILLION TO RESTORE ISLAMIC SITES AROUND THE WORLD

So Barack Obamma aproved $6 million dollars of tax payers money to restore mosques and Islamic sites all over the world. The Washington Post reports:

The goodwill tour of the Middle East by the Imam behind the proposed mosque near ground zero is just part of the U.S. government’s efforts to reach out to the Muslim world.

This year, the Obama administration will spend nearly $6 million to restore 63 historic and cultural sites, including mosques and minarets, in 55 nations, according to State Department documents.

Under a program established by Congress in 2001, the department will fund at least five projects in as many countries at a cost of more than $271,000.

The contributions include $76,135 for the 16th century Grand Mosque in Tongxin, China, and $67,500 for the 18th century Golden Mosque in Lahore, Pakistan. An additional $62,169 will be spent on restoring a 19th century minaret in Mauritania’s ancient city of Tichitt; $50,437 for the Sundarwala Burj, a 16th century Islamic Monument in New Delhi, and $15,450 to restore the 18th century Gobarau Minaret in Katsina, Nigeria.

Now I voted for Obama, I believed that he would do right by the people of the United States Of America. Somehow, I just don’t see how wastin’ taxpayers money on non-U.S. buildings and Islamic sites, will help better our country or it’s people. I’m thinkin’ that money would’ve been better off going towards cleanin’ up the oil spill off the Gulf Of Mexico. What do you think?

RUSSELL SIMMONS IN SUPPORT OF GROUND ZERO MOSQUE

As reported by AllHipHop.com, Russell Simmons has given his support to the controversial $100 million mosque that is being built near the site where the Twin Towers fell in 2001. The mosque, which was approved by the Manhattan’s Community Board, is being built by the Cordoba Initiative. In support of it, Russell Simmons goes on to say,

“If your blaming Muslims for the attack on 9/11 then you need to change your mind…Did we blame Christians for the first world trade attack? It creates a cycle of negativity.”

I personally don’t see anything wrong with it. It may not be my religion, but last time I checked this was still a free country. I believe you should be able to practice what ever religion you wish. I think those who have a problem with it, have that problem cause they still blame Muslims for 9/11. To those folks I say do your research. That is all.

THE RAP MAP : HIP HOP HISTORY IN GOOGLE MAPS

There’s a new Google Maps based web-app, The Rap Map, that has placemarks of locations that have been mentioned in Hip Hop songs. The placemarks not only tells you the song it was mentioned in, but the artist who mentioned it, and the 2-line bars that mentioned the location. Since the app is fairly new the majority of the locations are of course in Hip Hop’s Mecca, New York. Of course there are locations listed in L.A., Houston, Chicago and more. What’s good about it is that it allows users to suggest locations, so expect for the map to expand in the near future. So head on over and see if there’s any spots on the map near you, and suggest any new locations you can think of. Head on over to http://map.rapgenius.com/

ICE CUBE TALKS NEW FRIDAY MOVIE STARRIN’ CHRIS TUCKER

Will we finally get to see a new Friday movie starrin’ Chris Tucker? Here’s what Ice Cube had to say:

“That’s my dream. I hope so, I even want Chris Tucker in it. I think that’s what everybody wants to see,” Ice Cube stated. “They want to see all of us together (Chris Tucker, Mike Epps, John Witherspoon, Katt Williams and others), I’ve been campaigning trying to put that together, I’m going to keep campaigning until the idea is so old nobody wants to see it.”

Recently Chris Tucker has found himself in trouble with the I.R.S. owin’ em’ more then 11 million dollars in back taxes. So hopefully with him owin’ that much money and no recent projects reportedly in the works, maybe we’ll finally get Chris Tucker back on the next installment of the series.
