A jacket from Jigga’s clothing line, Rocawear, allegedly has dog fur in its collar, even though it’s advertised as having fake fur. According to an investigation by The Humane Society of the United States, the Hunter jacket on Rocawear.com contains real fur from a raccoon dog, a dog indigenous to Asia that The Humane Society claims are skinned alive for the coats, hence the uproar.

As of today, the $265 coat was still a “featured” item on the Rocawear website. Late last year, a similar investigation found that raccoon dog fur was being used in a coat in rap mogul P. Diddy’s “Sean John” collection; that item was removed from stores within a few days.

Reps for Jay-Z and Rocawear could not immediately be reached for comment. The Humane Society said that it informed the company of the issue a week ago, but that they’ve taken no action. [ source ]

Once again - damn shame. This is what a racoon dog looks like, just so we’re all on the same bizarre page. You know, Fraggle, if worst comes to worst you can always use Solange’s bikini wax remains for your collars. Nobody will even be able to tell the difference. That way you save money and animals - everyone’s happy!

Jim Jones didn’t really seem to take the cover of Tru Life’s new mixtape lightly. The image of him dressed in a Borat-inspired slingshot bathing suit was difficult for all of us to bear. So, how does a rapper in 2007 get back at such a cynical move? Screw a diss record, they use technology, bitch! Not only did the Dipset camp transform Tru’s original mixtape cover into the one above (Hey, Fraggle!), but they also hacked into his myspace page warping everything into a completely embarassing mess. All that has been fixed now and although I don’t condone such childish behavior between grown men, let’s not act like Jimmy didn’t 1-Up Lizzy this time around. Check out screenshots of the tainted page below.

Hey, Joe! I found your brother! I think that Janet and the rest of the Jackson clan ought to get to know there Uncle Calibos a little bit better. It’s not everyday that you get to sip tea with the family swamp beast.

Okay, so this is a video of Bobby Brown performing “On Our Own” live back in the day. If you watch closely, you will notice that around 1:30 as he is shuckin’ and jivin’, Bobby drops something that looks an awful lot like a bag of cocaine onstage. Before we get a chance to point and laugh, BB quickly scrapes up the evidence and slips it back in his pocket. Damn shame…

According to rumors, Lil’ Wayne was injured this past weekend during his tour. I hear that he may have gotten into a heated argument with someone in his entourage which led to an actual fist fight, leaving Weezy with a broken jaw. Representatives for Lil’ Wayne declined to comment.

Man, why did it have to resort to violence? They could have just had a hot freestyle battle, or broken out the cardboard slab and had a breakdance competition, or hell, a tongue wrestling match, since Cash Money gets down like that.

I’m not gonna lie - the girl looks good. Cassie makes a much better model than she does a singer. She probably starves herself just for the hell of it. I think she should stick to taking pretty pictures, because song and dance is not her forte. Scruff McGruff the crime dog makes a better pop artist than she does, but beauty - that’s all her right there.

Poor Cam’ron - riding around Harlem on a mountain bike. That of which he and his crew probably hijacked a bunch of crackheads for. What are we gonna do with this brother? Nah, let me leave Killa alone. I have a bizarre fondness for him (no homo). From what I’ve heard, Cam does this sort of thing on the regular. Cruising the streets playing with bootleggers, drunks, bootlegging drunks, and his fans. He shows his people love.

BTW: I’m co-signing for that “black-on-black love” too Mr. Hustle & Flow. Ha-ha!

This is the video for Papoose’s ridiculous record, “Alphabetical Slaughter”. I will admit that out of all the tracks that Pap has done, this is by far my favorite one. Although, big ol’ Kay Slay only adds yeast to this lyrical vagina, the video is pretty impressive as well.

Well, some of you fans may have missed Chris Brown’s first appearance on FOX’s newly axed drama, The OC, last week, so here you go. No need to send me a gift. Your smile makes it all worth while. So, Christopher is supposed to be playing a “band geek” named Will in the show. He doesn’t seem very geeky to me in his Ice Cream hoodie. He will also appear in the new dance film Stomp The Yard, which hits theaters this Friday. Do you think Chris’ acting is on point or is he another Beyonce?
