Soulja Boy's Got Money To Blow, Spends $55 Mil On B-Day Treat
Atlanta rapper Soulja Boy Tell Em appears to be living the good life as new reports claim the 'Crank That' hitmaker spent $55 million on a private jet for his 21st birthday.
Details of the luxury purchase landed online Friday (July 29).
For our 21st birthday, we bought ourselves a 40. For Soulja Boy's 21st birthday, he decided to treat himself to a $55 million dollar jet. Why? Because he's worth it. To be honest, we're seriously surprised that Soulja has that kinda cash, but then again, he did write 'Donk'. His management team, who for some reason didn't stop him said that the young rapper purchased a G5 jet earlier in the week. (The Fab Life)
Although the jet itself cost $35 million, Soulja Boy spent additional money to deck it out.
He bought the G5 jet for $35 million. He then spent an additional $20 million to customize the jet with 12 custom Italian leather seats, 4 liquor bars, flat screen TVs, Brazilian hardwood cabinets and a special travertine tiled floor. It was also said that Soulja replaced the in-flight lavatory with a giant, luxurious bathroom. The pimping out was not only done for the inside of the jet, but also for its outside appearance. The 'Pretty Boy Swag' rapper allegedly gave his jet a custom paint job to include his logo."

Consequence Calls Pusha-T a “Worker” and Threatens To Beef w/ Kanye Until “Jay-Z Intervenes”
Man, this Consequence vs. G.O.O.D. Music war manages to intensify to the next level each day! Cons decided to fire right back at Pusha-T on the same radio station he spoke to yesterday in Chicago. I'm speechless.
“[Pusha] lyrically cannot compete and that’s the reason for the extra smoke & mirrors and the attempt at discrediting, Cons told WGCI. “You guys have a song in rotation that disproves everything he says. He said “Yo there’s nobody checking for me. I’ma tell you who’s checking for me Chicago, Beyonce’s checking for me.”
Welp, Cons... the other half of ‘The Throne” is now involved.

Backstage Banter: Interview with House of Ra'oof and Debonaire Models stylist, Jamal
iSocialite was backstage this weekend at the Charlie Mack Party for Peace fashion show, hosted by Lisa Raye and showcasing the artistic opinions of several local designers. Although these events are for a great cause and many supporters created an engaging atmosphere, the entire weekend was in complete disarray and left us many questions about how the PR & event mangers handled it all. Hopefully next year will be better. Through our own efforts, we got a chance to chat with a stylist for Debonaire Models by the name of Jamal. He gave us some details about their upcoming August Launch and as everything gets finalized iSocialite will keep you updated! Jamal described his style as 'classic sheek' and this was clear in not only the order of his model's clothing, but in his as well. A little camera shy, he didn't want to take a picture but I wish you guys would have been there, he was very dapper! I'd let him dress me any day! Along with him was Dez, of Dezign Your Identity, who was responsible for the dazzling eyewear in the show! I need a pair of those glasses, they were to die for!
Next we caught up with Taji Nahl, the creator of 'House of Ra'oof', and asked him a few questions! I almost forgot I was interviewing him, the conversation seemed to just flow. He spoke to us about his background as an antique dealer and how he uses that as an inspiration. His creativity is so visible in the abstract construction of his pieces and his vivid imagination pulls you into his show scenes. He stated that his greatest influence is Bauhaus in Africa. From my research the Bauhaus style is described as "...a craft guild combining architecture, sculpture, and painting into a single creative expression." I tugged on my memory and I could see all of that intertwined in the House of Ra'oof designs. Taji described himself as a renaissance man, stating, "I may do 8 different things but I do them all well." He stressed the importance of collaborations and showing respect to both up and coming and established artists. I'm a huge fan of teamwork and collaborations can be monumental, especially when the right talents are involved. All in all I enjoyed his scenes in the show as well as our conversation. I was surprised to learn his true age and it was also inspiring to hear him speak about how he went after his dreams. Great conversation with an even greater artist. Can't wait until the next show!

Meek Mill, Fabolous, DJ Clue, Red Cafe and a few more ventured down to Dream Nightclub this weekend for some fun in the sun and to host Kevin Hardy’s birthday event. I was hoping to see Meek at Charlie Mack's Movie premiere for Streets.
Movie Review: 'Streets' Executive Produced by Charlie Mack, Starring Nafessa Williams and Meek Mill
This weekend marked the 8th Annual Charlie Mack Party for Peace Celebrity Weekend. Started in 1990 as 'simply a game' this year there was no celebrity basketball game. However, there were a lot of 'firsts'. There was the first Talented Teens Competition, where five lucky teens wowed the judges with their skills & nabbed themselves some scholarship money. There was the first Healthy Hoops Asthma Screening where Mack & his celebrity friends promoted healthy lifestyles. And there also was the first screening of Streets, an Overbrook Entertainment movie Executive Produced by Charlie Mack, Produced by Charlie Mack, Todd Wolfe and Jamal Hill, who also was the Director and Writer. The film stars Nafessa Williams, Meek Mill, Marvin Warner, and others.
iSocialite was on hand at the world premiere of 'Streets' and got a chance to check out the movie first!

Tell Us Why You Mad: 50 Cent Will Not Release Album
50 has had enough with Interscope Records and announced via his twitter account that he would not be releasing his upcoming album. Fed up with the way Interscope is handing the situation, 50 explained, "They dropped the ball with me one time to many." Some may argue this is another publicity stunt to gain attention for another album, but as of late, 50 and Interscope have not been able to see eye to eye. 50 did however threaten to leak Dr. Dre's new single "Pyscho," declaring "Your gonna love it its a big song I just don't think it deserves a great setup sense they can't seem to get it right when it comes to me." Wow, 50. That's how you feel, though?
UPDATE: So he's not going to leak the song?

Video: J. Cole Scraps Pre-Album Mixtape
In his interview with Jenny Boom Boom and Craig G, J. Cole announces that he is cancelling plans to release a mixtape prior to his oft-delayed debut album which comes out September 27th. Instead of a mixtape, Cole plans to release the songs that would have made the cut one by one in a weekly installment fashion. Cole's rationale for switching up his agenda is because he doesn't want fans to get stuck on a mixtape just weeks prior to his album release.

White People Can Say ‘Nigga’ Too! by Nova Giovanni
I dedicate this to Kalmplex Seen for asking me to write about it… and to ALL MY NIGGAS!!!
Hello, loyal reader. Today’s topic is a controversial one. Therefore, I will begin by telling you what this article is NOT. This article is NOT about race relations or racism. This topic is about a word, and the usage of that word. The word on trial today is, ‘NIGGA’!!! More importantly, it is about White people using the word presently. This isn’t about the history of the word ‘nigger’, because we’re not talking about ‘nigger’. We’re talking about ‘nigga’. You notice the difference?

Event Recap: Charlie Mack's Talented Teens Competition
This weekend marks the 8th Annual Charlie Mack Party for Peace Celebrity Weekend! If you don't know who Charlie Mack is or you're unfamiliar with this weekend maybe you haven't looked close enough because its quite difficult to miss this 6'7" 280lb guy. A Philadelphia native and former self proclaimed "hustler", Mack started his party for peace events in 1990 as simply a basketball game. His childhood antics combined with the loss of his two brothers compelled him to assist in making a change to his hometown. He believed that celebrities had an effect on the youth so he invited his friends along to engage in this fun filled game. Mack has now transformed a simple game into a highly anticipated annual event promoting non violence and the importance of education. There was no basketball game this year, however, iSocialite was on hand at the first 'Talented Teens Competition' where five lucky teens were awarded with scholarship money.

Video: Is Dave Chappelle Still Funny? [Bombs Charity Event in Miami]
Dave Chappelle refused to tell jokes during a stand-up performance at Alonzo Mourning’s Summer Groove Charity Event in Miami last night, instead checking text messages and leading audience members to boo and heckle.
It’s not entirely clear what went wrong, but Chappelle was reportedly irritated by fans who were recording him and addressed them instead of doing his routine.
CNN contributor Roland S. Martin was there and live tweeted the confusion.
“This Dave Chappelle set is bizarre. He’s spent more time going back & forth with one audience member, & pretty much stopped telling jokes,” wrote Martin.
“I’m just not understanding what threw him off. He’s complained about folks videotaping his set, yelling out loud. I don’t get it.”
R.I.P: Amy Winehouse
Amy Winehouse was found dead in her apartment in London today ... this according to several reports.
A press release from the Metropolitan Police, which doesn't specifically name Winehouse, says:
"Police were called by London Ambulance Service to an address in Camden Square NW1 shortly before 16.05hrs today, Saturday 23 July, following reports of a woman found deceased.
On arrival officers found the body of a 27-year-old female who was pronounced dead at the scene.
Enquiries continue into the circumstances of the death. At this early stage it is being treated as unexplained."
Last month, Winehouse canceled her European tour after a performance in Serbia where she seemed completely out of it. Such a sad story. Rest in peace.

White rappers and the N-word
First off let me say thanks to Isocialite for giving me the chance to contribute and I hope to bring you more thought provoking posts in the future
So I listened to the V-nasty again...I forgot which white girl rapper it was. Funny, if you notice a few weeks ago, I posted about the desire for there to be a successful white female rapper to take off where Eminem started. Right after, Kreayshawn popped up from the Bay area with "Gucci, Gucci" and a day or so later, V-nasty appeared on world star with a freestyle:
So both of these females are supporting each other (are they actual sisters?) and coming from an area that is known as a niche and trying to expand. The issue most people have is that in their music, they are known to drop the word 'nigga'. Black folks immediately seem to be shitting their draws over this, I'm here to say one thing-get over it.
We don't 'own' the word, it was derived from the French word negre and stuck as the derogatory term for us black people in the country for years. It was adapted and over the past 60 years or so, the meaning for the most part has been changed especially when used int he social context as slang as you see in most rap songs. Saying "that's my nigga right there" is a different term from a slave-owner using it and yes the 'er' does make a difference as it takes the contempt and disrespect from the word. As it is today, when you look at hip-hop and its influence it seems patently obvious that people who grow up listening to hip-hop will eventually use the slang associated with it regardless of race.
It's 2011 and fortunately or unfortunately depending on how you see things more of the generations starting with mine (I'm almost 30) and following are identifying less with their racial features and more with the group of people they live around and share likes with. The spread of music and migration of people into more diverse communities has made the traditional lines harder to see and older people often are somewhat confused by this. It might be easier if I tell you the exact two moments that made me, a person who has never experienced that real,true racism, understand that the word nigger or nigga was not the same as it had been just a scant 15-20 years earlier.
