South Park Clowns Kanye West, Again [VIDEO]
Last night (December 11), was the season finale of South Park, and the Comedy Central cartoon brought back an easy target, Kanye West. In an episode called "The Hobbit" and loaded with slander at Kim Kardashian, Yeezy got clowned something awful. An animated version of West, rocking a tight jumpsuit (leotard?) and gold chain, spends the episode defending claims that his fiancee is actually a hobbit. Also, Yeezy interrupts the Pope. We also get a West rap featuring lines like, "It was no dragon so my girl ain't no hobbit, that was a Quiznos and my girl b*tch went to rob it. "The "Bound 2" rapper hasn't rocked that shag type haircut in a long minute, though. Check out the scenes with Kanye West in the video below, full episode on the flip. Do you think the episode was funny or took things too far? Let us know your thoughts in the comments. Kanye West's surely forthcoming rant about this episode (he referenced the infamous "gay fish" episode during a show in Las Vegas in late October) is going to be epic
ScHoolboy Q Announces Oxymoron Release Date [VIDEO]
This is the moment many have been waiting on for a while now. After releasing numerous songs and speaking in countless interviews, TDE's next-at-bat ScHoolboy Q finally announced a release date for his long-delayed debut album Oxymoron.
Of course, Quincy had to break this news in style in a viral video co-starring his daughter, Joy. The XXL Freshman is on the phone admittedly frustrated about the LP in the opening scene. "Yeah bruh, 'cause n***as is getting hot bruh. Yo, I can't go on Twitter. I can't go to the store. I can't pick Joy up from school. N***a, a first grader asked me when the album is coming," ScHoolboy said comedically.
Meanwhile, his daughter can be seen annoyingly calling for her pops as kids do. But little did ScHoolboy know that she had a special message written down -- February 25, 2014.
In recent months ScHoolboy released songs like "Yay Yay," "Banger," "Collard Greens," and "Man Of The Year" to build anticipation for the LP. It's hard to say which of these records will appear on the final tracklist, but it's great to know that a full body of work will be out sooner than later.
Ice Cube, Kevin Hart & Conan O'Brien Test Out The Lyft App [VIDEO]
Trying to pull off impromptu comedy is commendable in itself but when it actually proves successful, that's when credit should really be given.
If Ice Cube and Kevin Hart's upcoming flick, Ride Along is as remotely as entertaining as the skit they pulled off with Conan O'Brien, then moviegoers are in for a real treat.
The newly formed Team Coco trio decided to press their luck with the new do-it-yourself taxi service Lyft. There's a lot of crazies in the world but Lyft isn't exactly the Craigslist of assisted driving. Its verification method includes actual profile pictures linked to Facebook accounts.
While out in those Hollywood streets, Conan calls up a driver in the middle of Kevin Hart's heckling of jaywalkers and hilarity ensues.
Risking citations for open containers and freestyles that are Struggle File-worthy are only a small sample of what the video has to offer.
Ride Along hits theaters January 17, 2014. In the meantime, watch the video below. All nine minutes are well worth it.
André 3000 & Future Spotted In The Studio [PHOTO]
Future is Hip-Hop music's latest collaborative kingpin, but this one is particularly epic. The crooning rapper was recently spotted in the studio with André 3000.
Ciara's future hubby shared a black and white image of himself in the lab with 3 Stacks via his Instagram page. No caption was included but of course speculation is running rampant that the two are working together.
It's a safe bet that Future's forthcoming new album, Honest, is still being tinkered with, and surely a verse or two from the OutKast rapper would be extra incentive for potential purchasers.
Let's just hope Future doesn't attempt to go bar for bar with Mr. Benjamin and just keep his talents to the hook and the bridge. No shots.

Arsenio Hall Checks Kanye West Over Use Of 'Slave' Word [VIDEO]
The Game Admits He Isn't Signed To YMCMB [VIDEO]
The Game, thought to be YMCMB's latest signee, revealed that such isn't the case during a recent discussion with Karen Civil's Civil TV. Despite a Twitter confirmation from Birdman some months back, the former Interscope artist is still solo-dolo.
"Right now, I'm just enjoying my free agency man," Game admits. "I had talks with Birdman, and we're trying figure out what it's going to be or how it's going to work. It definitely could work."
From them, the Compton rapper went on to speak on his longstanding relationship with Baby, Lil Wayne, Slim, and Drake. According to Game, both parties are just looking to create a situation that's mutually beneficial. While no contract has been signed, Game says "that's where I'm leaning."
Other topics discussed includes his Robin Hood Project charity, his alleged relationship/affair with Khloe Kardashian, and more
TIME Mag Says Celebrity Sneaker Deals Are Publicity Stunts
Regardless of if you ever had a wicked jumpshot or not, most everybody had dreamed of having their own signature sneaker. Lately, rappers have been following in the footstep of Run-DMC and securing their own shoe deals. However, TIME magazine believes most of these new deals are simply publicity stunts.
Reports TIME:
While shoes attached to NBA stars like LeBron James, Derrick Rose and Michael Jordan are usually manufactured in mass quantities, celebrity sneakers are almost always created in limited runs. West's previous line of Nike sneakers, the Air Yeezys, generated tons of hype because they were so rare. The release of the Air Yeezy II in 2012 saw people lining up for days before they were released and bidding as much as $90,000 for the shoes on eBay. Matt Powell, an analyst at sports-research firm SportsOneSource, estimates that around 5,000 pairs were ever produced. For comparison, Nike's most popular shoe sold around 3 million pairs last year, Powell estimates.
“Part of what makes collaborations like this successful is very, very limited distribution,” he says. “They create a lot of hype, they get mentioned in all the sneakerhead magazines and blogs. There's a lot of brand attention to it.”
It's these sneakerheads, avid shoe collectors that sometimes have hundreds of pairs of kicks, that are the true target market for celebrity shoes. Their willingness to line up for days for a much-hyped sneaker or pay thousands for it on the secondary market makes these shoes seem desperately sought after and generates free press.
This would explain why despite Yeezy insisting that his sneaker was a game changer, Nike still curved him when it came to royalties or designing more kicks. Can you see any business sincerely passing up on something that really is a money maker and not just a hype machine?
However, if West's new line with adidas does indeed become a hit, and a revenue generator, he will have the last laugh. We'll have to wait and see but history is not on Yeezus' side. For example, Jay Z's S. Carter with RBK (Reebok) sold exceptionally out the gate but quickly whimpered after releasing so many shoes.
"It will be interesting whether Adidas maintains the same kind of control over the quantities,” Matt Powell of sports-research firm SportsOneSource told TIME. "My gut is if they made a lot of Kanye West shoes, they're going to find that the demand goes way down."
Rick Ross Hints Jay Z Collaboration May Leak Soon
Since Rick Ross' winter wonderland plans for his Mastermind joyride were delayed, he has a bit of time to kill on his hands. His Maybach Music empire has been brandishing black bottles of Luc Belaire Rare Rose at parties and their Instagram account so that's where he decided to remind us that he has a song with Jay Z still in the chamber.
Headlined with the audacious tagline, "Biggest record youll ever hear in your life," The Black Bottle Boys' account posted the artwork to the yet unheard potential single.
Accompanied by a small batch of wilted roses, the title "The Devil is a Lie" in bold lettering serves as some type of forewarning that a monstrous song is on the horizon.
It won't be the first time Ross nabbed his former Def Jam boss for a record on his own album. 2008's "Maybach Music" is arguably a classic for the sole reminder that Jessica Gomes' sexy catchphrase spawned a record label that's amongst the giants in Hip-Hop today. And 2010's "Free Mason" spared the shock value and featured the Magna Carta creator addressing illuminati rumors that eventually became an exercise in futility.
Ricky Rozay's sixth studio album, Mastermind was to be released on December 17 but the man himself claimed to have iced the date to put the finishing touches "on a classic."
Vivica Fox Used To Do What?? Osama Bin Laden Former Mistress, Claims Vivica Was a Call Girl
American novelist Kola Boof is making headlines across the globe after revealing the names of the 20 men with the biggest penises in show business.
The 44-year-old writer, who best known as Osama Bin Laden's former mistress, claimed that X-rated list was compiled back in the 80s and 90s, when she was part of the Alpharetta Secret Society.
According to Boof, the secret club was made up from around 200 women socialites, models and high-priced call girls who regularly slept with some of Hollywood's elite.
In the 25-minute clip, Boof hints that stars including the Vivica Fox and Tyra Banks may have been a part of the society.
"A lot of us lived in California but partied in Alpharetta, Georgia. Alpharetta was the hot spot. Pebbles [Reid] knows what I'm talking about. Vivica Fox know what I'm talking about. Tyra Banks would know what I'm talking about," she tells the camera
MC Hammer Set The Record Straight Over Rumors He Owes The IRS $800,000 "I Put Over 5 Million In My Account"
MC Hammer tried to set the record straight via Twitter after it was reported that he had been sued by the federal government for allegedly owing nearly $800,000 in back taxes. The 51-year-old rapper posted a tweet to his more than three million followers on Twitter about his interaction with the Internal Revenue Service.

Kidd Kidd Says Nobody Knows Jay Electronica In New Orleans, Speaks On Trinidad James "You Talked That Sh*t, Now You Gotta Back It Up," Says G-Unit Is A Family [Video]
Posse TV recently caught up with Kidd Kidd a.k.a. Nutt Da Kidd a.k.a. The Reallionaire for that raw, uncut type of conversation we've come to expect from the G-Unit/Rida Gang emcee.
He addresses Trinidad James' recent derogatory comments about New York City, Jay Electronica, who had some slick words about 50 Cent recently and Kendrick Lamar bringing competition back into the game.
On Trinidad James comments about New York City
After the "Gold Everything" song it's not so much he can do. He wants the attention, so he said that. But my whole thing is, I wanna see something happen. You done talked that sh*t now you gotta back it up. So when he run into n*ggas like Maino and the people who you talking to, I don't wanna hear the, 'Oh we cool now.' And this and that. Because I feel like you don't diss people if you don't have a real problem with it. If you don't have no problem with people you're not supposed to diss them.
On Kendrick Lamar
I'm a rapper dude so I pay attention to the art. When you listen to him a lot of people got the misconception and felt like dude dissing. Nah man, dude letting n*ggas know like, 'I'm trying to be better than y'all.' It's not like, 'Oh f*ck y'all.' It's 'I'm trying to be better than y'all.' All that's telling you is n*gga step your game up. You can still be friends, but just know when we get on this track it's over for you.
On being competitive with other G-Unit artists
I feel that way about anything. Anything, anybody, any track I get on. My whole thing is I'm not here to bullsh*t and play games. If you want this sh*t you gotta be better. If you not better, you better try to get better. Because they got the next n*gga that's under you working 5 times harder than you with f*cking nothing. With nothing to lose and everything to gain.
On G-Unit the family
It's love, it's all fam. They accepted me from day one as fam. That's how we rock. It's G-Unit/Rida Gang. Shout out to all my n*ggas. Shout out to Yayo, shout out to Banks, shout out to Paris. We doing this sh*t. It's still a grind. I'm just the new n*gga that's coming from the bottom and trying to get there to where they at.
On Jay Electronica, who is also allegedly from New Orleans
You asked me the question so I gotta keep it 100. I don't know dude, I never seen him. When I heard about dude he was on a song a song with Talib Kweli and he said he's from New Orleans. And I said, 'He's from New Orleans? Where in New Orleans?' N*ggas was like, 'Oh he's from uptown.' I'm the type of n*gga that do research on n*ggas. Especially if you talking about you're from New Orleans. I asked around, don't nobody know dude. I'm not saying he's a fake n*gga or nothing like that. I don't know him to say that about him, but you asked me about him from New Orleans. I don't know about him from New Orleans.
