*blinks hard* Daaaaamn. The Recession is a futhamucka huh? When I saw this "I got my lipgloss poppin" negro, sugaring up my computer screen, I immediately threw away my nutrasweet packets and just dipped my screen in my morning coffee. Tommy, say it ain't so! There's more sugary over at bossip (click here). Clearly, I didn't heed to the title of this post. Can you?

So....um....yeah.....okay. D. Woods celebrated dropping her mixtape by doing hoodrat stuff with her friends. I think the theme of the party was "HAMMER TIME" because she clearly looks like one of M.C. Hammer's back-up dancers. The entire outfit came off of Wet Seals clearance rack and I feel really bad for her. The recession is hitting a bish HARD. Diddy know he could throw her a few bucks! Hell even Dawn was able to keep her Herve Lever bandage dresses. SMH

I do hope her mixtape is successful though. After all the work she put in at this party...SHE DESERVES IT!

Thanks to Freddy O for these GEMS.

"Hell naw playa...not me" is what 50 was thinkin. You know...this whole "chain snatch" epidemic in hiphop has gotten out of hand. Who in the recession hell is gonna pay rent money to go to a show, just to take a chain? Is it premeditated? Do you layout your clothes the night before like..."yeah son, I can't wait for this concert tommorrow. I'ma wear my dark clothes too, so he don't see me go for the chain." Chances are, if you got tickets that close to the performer, then you got ok money.
