EDWARDSVILLE, Ill.- Two students at Southern Illinois University in this St. Louis suburb kidnapped, paddled and burned a young man with freshly baked cookies after a drug deal went bad, prosecutors said.Madison County prosecutors on Monday charged Rosario James, 23, and Jordan Sallis, 20, each with two counts of aggravated kidnapping and one count of robbery and aggravated battery.

Both were jailed Tuesday on $150,000 apiece.

Sheriff’s Capt. Brad Wells said that Friday night, three men went to James’ house to buy marijuana, but two of them grabbed the drugs and fled, leaving the third behind. The suspects held that man, who is in his late teens, and told him he needed to find $400 for the drugs, Wells said.

The suspects beat the man with a wooden paddle, burned his neck and shoulders with cookies immediately after taking them from the oven, shaved off some of his hair and poured urine over him from a soda bottle, Wells said.

“It was just sheer torture,” Wells said.

Hours later, Wells said, the victim managed to escape and call police after the suspects drove him to a house in trying to get money for the drugs.

The victim sustained severe bruising but was not hospitalized.

Both suspects were arrested Saturday morning.

There was no evidence that James or Sallis had been using drugs before or during the alleged torture, Wells said Tuesday.

“Basically they ripped them off of their drugs, and they took exception to that,” Wells said.

There was no record that James or Sallis had obtained an attorney as of Tuesday, a Madison County court clerk said.

Seriously….with some cookies. Guess they guns, knives, and rusty spoons were all being cleaned. The two dudes doing the torturing were foul, but the guys that left ole’ boy there are dirty as hell. If I was the third guy they’d be catching L’s on sight.

Get out yo car….

Enough is enough.

I’ve seen a lot of lazy things in my life, last night was by far one of the worst acts of laziness that I have seen.

If you’re a parent and you can’t walk around the neighborhood with your child to trick-or-treat, then dammnit they don’t need to go. Far to many people last night were riding in their cars, holding up traffic so that their child/children could go door to door for some sweet tarts and mini candy bars.

Come on parents, leave the minivans at home and pound the pavement.  

Lyrical Heat…..

 Joe Budden….

I hope leaving Def Jam will finally get Jump Off Joe Beezzzzyyyy on the road to stardom.  Though he had a very popular lead single in “Pump It Up,” people slept on his album like it was a Serta Sleeper.  

He’s easily one of the Top 5 out right now. Yeah, TOP 5. I say that because he is so versitle. He can spit about some many different topics and then will murder you in a beef. He took on the whole G Unit and held his on.

Here are some examples of real rap music.

Nashville’s not in love with strippers.

Make no bones about it, they don’t love them hoes.

First Davidson County, Metro Nashville passes a 3 feet law prohibiting strippers from coming within 3 ft of patrons, thus eliminating all lap dances, and now this.

$50 to $500, you talk about taxation. They trying to make it virtually imposible for a man to enjoy seeing a woman make that ass clap or to slide down the pole while listening to various lewd rap songs.

I’m not a big fan of going to a club and throwin my hard earned wages at some woman I don’t even know because she’s taking her clothes off. But hey, some people are. And its also a nice option to have just in case I want to go and waste a couple of dollars making it rain - more like sprinkle.

I don’t have a problem with raising the fee to regulate the industry, however, lets be reasonable and come up with a suitable figure. Because if there are 827 dancers in the area at $500 a pop that would be $413,500 for regulation when the bugeted amount was only $77, 000? You don’t have to be DeWayne “The Rock” Johnson to raise your eyebrow funny about that.

I suspect that indeed the city is trying to make it hard for women to make money wearing clear heels. But at what point will the strippers say fuck’it and head to the local kinko’s or hit the net and start passing out those Vegas style “calling cards.”

…just because

It took me a couple of listens, but I’m really startin to feel this joint. LOL ENJOY….

Ain’t no love in the heart of the city

… for Chad Johnson.

The Bengals have slowly went from sentimental favorite to make it to the super bowl to a team that’s in the running for a Top 5 2008 draft pick. 

Right now this Bengals team sucks more than a roundtable discussion with Superhead, Heather Hunter, and Monica Lewinsky.  And for some reason, the Media wants to blame Chad Johnson for it.

The “mainstream” media believes that his recent jarring with Carson Palmer, Coach Marvin Lewis, and the defense along with his celebatory antics have become a distraction to the team.  Yet, he’s not doing anything that he hasn’t always done. He’s second in the league in receiving yards to only Randy Moss. That’s a real distraction.

Fierce competitiors don’t like losing and week in and week out Ocho Cinco goes out and puts it all on the line trying to get a victory.  When the Bengals were on their way to the superbowl two years ago before Carson got hurt Chad’s riverdancing and faux-proposals weren’t a problem or a distraction.

You know what is a distraction, letting opponents virtually walk into the end zone. Maybe if the defense would stop letting that happen then the team would win some games.

Personally I like player celebrations. Getting into the end zone isn’t a given thing, just ask the Miami Dolphins.

Furthermore, he’s led the AFC in receiving yards for four straight years and he’s only doing celebrations when he gets into the endzone. Last time I checked that’s a good thing.  Not to mention that just recently he said that because of the recent prefomances of the Bengals he wouldn’t be doing any celebrations. 

Chad’s a stand up guy and without him and his excitement the league wouldn’t be nearly as enjoyable.

Someone just doesn’t quite belong on this list to me….

Well if you didn’t know, I’m a huge HIP-HOP fan. So please believe that when VH1 introduced its annual Hip Hop Honors series I was elated too know that they would be honoring the pioneers of this culture as too often the history of Hip Hop is often lost. Well, not lost, just often overlooked and under-appreciated.

First off, before I go any further,  let me state this and for everyone that thinks differently you are WRONG. Hip Hop is not a form of music it is a culture. Rap is a style of music that is a part of the Hip Hop culture. I hate when people are like, Young Jeezy that’s rap, but Common that’s Hip Hop. Whether you spit 16s on selling that Lindsey Lohan or about the plight of the Jena 6, it’s still all rap. Come on people, do you research. How stupid do you sound saying you are Hip Hop when you haven’t even done enough research to know exactly what it is.

(Getting off my soapbox)

So I’m getting ready for this year’s Hip Hop Honors and I’m looking at the list of honorees… A Tribe Called Quest, Snoop Dogg, New Jack Swing, Whodini, Wild Style, and Missy Elliott.

MISSY ELLIOTT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Are you serious.

 I like Missy Misdemeanor. When she came into the game she definitely brought a lot of innovate things to the scene. But this is a show that’s suppose to be honoring lifetime achievement. I’m not saying that she isn’t worthy of being honored, but not this early.

Kool Herc, Notorious B.I.G., Rakim, Run-DMC, LL Cool J, Eazy E, and Ice Cube are people that changed the game on several different levels and were honored in past shows. So your telling me that VH1 couldn’t find anyone else to put on the list for 2007 that’s a little more deserving than Missy Elliott. How about EPMD? Master P? Slick Rick? Dougie Fresh?

Even if you wanted to name someone who was still making relevant CD’s Jay-Z, Nas, hell you could even make a good case for A.I.

I applauded VH1 when I first heard that they were doing this because I loved the fact that the show centered around teaching people about the foundation of what has become a multi-billion dollar industry. However, I hope that they don’t go away from what made this show special and just start handing out awards to whomever they feel will give them ratings. Missy Elliott this week what’s next? Will the 2010 honorees be Lil Bow Wow, Snap Music (Franchise Boyz and D4L), Soldier Boy, Terrance J and Rocsi, and You Got Served?

Please VH1, you’ve done a fine job with every honoree except for this one, but lets just hope that this sort of thing doesn’t become a habit. Because I still love H.E.R. and there are so many others that share my same love. And while I’ll admit she has changed her style, she’s still the same. But it is nice to see some of what made me fall in love with her show up every now and then.

T.I.P. might have won in reality after all….

Apperantly, T.I. was alot closer to converting back to T.I.P. than anybody thought. Just when it seemed the T.I. vs. T.I.P concept was just an over promoted marketing scheme, this happens.

How stupid can you be? I mean there are so many problems with this story that I really don’t want to believe it went down like this. Not to Mr. Clifford Harris whom I had chalked up to being alil bit smarter than the average rapper.

So … you’re a convicted felon buying MACHINE GUNS, you trust your bodyguard who you’ve employeed for all of 2 months to make this ILLEGAL transaction for you, and then you have him bring the illegal merchandise to your house.

Come on dude. You are in the prime of your career. You’re in a movie with Denzel for GOD sakes. I can understand the need for protection, but could you not be smarter about it. I mean you already know the alphabet boys ain’t lettin regular black males get away with nothing so please believe rappers should be even more careful. If you got an album you best not j walk or you’ll see them boys in blue.

The saying is innocent until proven guilty, but based on the evidence that’s being presented right now it’s hard to think that T.I. will get out of this one. And if all is true, he shouldn’t. I do think that a lot of rappers get a bad reputation because of the music, but this is unacceptable. So if T.I. is guilty, I don’t want to hear about any conspiracy theories and I don’t want to see any “Free T.I.” tall tee’s.

I’m hoping for the best, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we actually don’t get that next T.I. album until 2028.
