Is Nelly trying to take over LL Cool J’s spot as the greased up muscle man rapper or something? No hate or anything — I’m just saying, I don’t remember the last time I saw Nelly with a blouse shirt on. According to Rap-Up.com, this is the alternate cover to his upcoming album, Brass Knuckles.

Like I said earlier in the week, Nelly can sell all the man beef he wants to if it means getting these bills paid. We all might have to resort to desperate measures to get our finances together. Rick Ross is probably going to start selling breast milk in a can, if this whole ex-cop thing doesn’t blow over soon.

Based loosely on Spike Lee’s “Inside Man,” Weezy is practically a modern-day Robin Hood as he plays one of the masterminds of a bank heist in which he and his team plan to give the loot to the citizens in his New Orleans hometown as compensation for what they lost because of Hurricane Katrina.

Not exactly an epic single or video in my opinion, but it shall do. Let’s just hope nobody decides to get out-of-hand flinging stacks of cash around in SoBe Live when the DJ spins this record. That must be the number one way to start a blood-spewing riot in the club — hey, these bills need to be paid and those Jordan’s don’t purchase themselves.

I liked the video in all of its hype-tasticness. No hate from me here. Although, I would like to know when T-Pain is going to hurry up and start his own line of Hip-Hop Top Hats. This fall would be a great time to walk the streets looking like a hood magician!

Saint Louis rap star Nelly has been named the first ever spokesmodel for Sean John Underwear, it was announced today (July 28).

Nelly will be featured in the Fall campaign promoting Sean John’s collection of underwear and loungewear.

The campaign, which was shot by Randee St. Nicholas, showcases Nelly in a modern home overlooking Los Angeles, while modeling the underwear.[ Oh Lord…Diddy this was your personal suggestion, wasn’t it? — Kid Fury ]

“I have been a big fan of Diddy and the Sean John clothing line for years,” Nelly told AllHipHop.com in a statement. “So, when they asked me to work with them, it was a real honor. I hope my fans will enjoy this campaign as much as I did shooting it.” [ source ]

It figures. You know what, I can think of so many rascally little notes to add in here, but I’m going to be nice. I’m always telling the ladies to go out and sell that ass for these US coins, so I suppose the fellas can go ahead and sell…whatever it is you all have in stock. Nelly, you make that Sean John money and go buy something cunty for you and your cream shooter Ashanti.

Okay, I’m back. Let’s not dwell on the past.

Eric from The Real sent this video over to me this morning. It shows a new magical place where people young and old can go to put all their stress behind them and become whatever they want to be. I hear Kizzy made a triple-platinum album on her last visit. Go be a part of the fun!

In case you haven’t noticed, I won’t be online very much today and I’m probably going to take tomorrow off, as well. Hell, at least I’m giving you all forewarning this time. So, I will instead dedicate today to posting links of what some of my favorite bloggers are serving up. Make a new friend!
