Even the caucasians know not to f with the legendary Pac and Biggie
Unless you live under a rock, you’ve seen the terrible T-shirts that Kendall and Kylie Jenner apparently thought were a good idea to release, complete with their blotchy faces superimposed over pictures of Biggie and Tupac.
Literally everybody, even a fan account dedicated to the Jenner sisters, turned against them (if they already weren’t) and talked about how terrible they are. Now, Caucasian folk band Arcade Fire is giving their input on the situation with the hilarious new merch that appeared at one of their shows recently.
This picture from Twitter shows a beautiful spoof of the extra-stupid tees with the band’s logo stamped over lil Kenny’s face. What a perfect way to show how you feel about an issue without having to say even one word. And top it off, all of the proceeds from the shirt art being donated to Partners in Health.
We’ll just have to wait and see if momager Kris Jenner slaps a C&D on they azz for using her daughter’s expensive face on their merch.

TRUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
True Religion Apparel Inc. said Wednesday that it filed for bankruptcy reorganization, a move many companies might be moving to with the shift in consumers to online shopping.
True Religion Chief Executive John Ermatinger said in a statement, “We are taking an important step to reduce our debt, reinvigorate True Religion’s iconic brand and position the company for future growth and success,” and mentions transitioning their focus to online.
The company reached an agreement with TowerBrook Capital Partners, a private equity firm, to slash True Religion’s debt by about three-quarters as it continues operating. True Religion and Last Stitch have 140 brick and mortar stores and almost 2,000 employees, though the company had to close 20 stores last year alone to cut costs.
This obviously isn’t the end of the brand, but the bankruptcy file was a smart move for cutting and consolidating their debt. Spokespeople for the brand have said that they are looking to move toward an online emphasis, so True Religion fans can look forward to a fabulous online shopping experience once all is said and done.

And she did. The “Love Galore” singer is hitting over 40 cities throughout the country on this 5-month tour.

Women all around America can’t wait to come together and go to ‘Ctrl’ tour to sing out their aggressions against all the dirty dogs in the world. SZA, here we come!
While it’s best to support Black-owned businesses like Tidal…even Jay understands that everyone isn’t about to come up off of $9.99 to $29.99 a month for the privilege. So he’s letting the rest of y’all get a peep at the clip everyone is talking about.

GG says her husband wanted a “wife” the minute he put a ring on her finger, and she couldn’t do that. Do you think it was a fair assumption on his part that he was getting that whole traditional “cook, clean, have the babies” package?
They probably should have talked this whole thing out a little more…
In the next three years, making passing grades won’t be enough to earn a high school diploma from Chicago Public Schools.
Now, kids will have to provide proof that they either have acceptance to college, a job lined-up, enrollment in a formal gap-year program, or enlistment in the military to cross the stage and turn their tassels.
According to The Washington Post, Mayor Rahm Emanuel thinks it’s pertinent to setting children on a path to a successful future.
“We are going to help kids have a plan, because they’re going to need it to succeed. You cannot have kids think that 12th grade is done.”
However, there is currently a shortage of counselors in the school system to even help high school students choose a set path after high school. Furthermore…forcing kids to prove their plan may lead kids with fewer resources and less support to simply drop out, since they won’t be awarded a diploma in the first place. The plan also doesn’t take into consideration the kids living in impoverished areas with few job opportunities. Also, everyone simply doesn’t get accepted to college right away.
President of the Chicago Teachers Union Karen Lewis says that the idea is empty and ultimately strips some kids of their accomplishments:
“It sounds good on paper, but the problem is that when you’ve cut the number of counselors in schools, when you’ve cut the kind of services that kids need, who is going to do this work? If you’ve done the work to earn a diploma, then you should get a diploma. Because if you don’t, you are forcing kids into more poverty.”
Hmm, what do you think? Some kids have it sewn up after school, but it takes many people a bit of time to figure out what to do after graduating. Is it fair to force everyone to prove their plans to validate their degrees?

This is not a good look. A Brooklyn mother of 3 is going viral for going on a Facebook Live rant against working Americans saying she gets more than you by “raping” the government for welfare.
Do YOU think the Kardashian matriarch should issue a response???

We officially wrapped up our first show and the word of the day is “LIT.” After arriving on set, shaking off our nerves and sending up a prayer to the “big homie” we started our path on this hilarious journey.
#LIT.
Today the petty Gods rained down upon us and showed us favor in the form of Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian. Like everyone else in the country, we couldn’t take our eyes off the BlacRob cheating scandal and we couldn’t believe that other celebs like T.I. and Snoop Dogg jumped in. While it sucks that their coupledom is up in flames and Chy’s crotch is circulating around the web, they gave us a gift with their nonstop f***ry. Thank you, it’s #LIT. Sorry Dream!
In addition to Rob and Chyna’s drama, we took a sip of Jay Z’s “#Himonade” and reflected on his 4:44 album, toasted to Kanye leaving Tidal and faking a friendship with 2 Chainz. Oh, and did I mention that mother-daughter duo Reginae and Toya stopped by?
It’s #LIT baaaaaaby.
https://www.instagram.com/iamdanicanada/
Shout out to them for answering all of our questions about #GUHHATL and a special shout out to Toya for laughing off a headline about Lil Wayne possibly smashing her to smithereens. Whenever these two are around you KNOW it’s #LIT.
We hope you enjoy this show as much as we enjoyed making it. I can’t imagine having a better job than the one I have now with these dope a** people. Oh and yes, if you listen closely you’ll hear me laugh till I snort. That’s how much fun I’m having.
#LIT
Also, don’t listen to Maura, drag Kodak Black and his ridiculous a** dark-skinned women comments every chance you get. That’s an order.
#LIT, #LIT, #LIT!
Until next time,
–Dani

Hov been said he had 99 problems but a bi**h ain’t one… Still despite the numerous financial reasons for Jay Z and Kanye to be at odds but sources say the beef is really more of a personal issue than anything.
According to Page Six reports, sources say the feud when West began “forcing [his wife] Kim Kardashian” on the Carters.
“[Kanye’s] rant was really about Kim and Beyoncé not being BFFs. Kanye is frustrated that his wife does not have a better relationship with Beyoncé. He wanted to put that pressure on Jay. It’s like, ‘We’re cool and we do business together, and now our wives should be friends?’ ”
But the source said, “It’s not organic. It’s not real. Beyoncé is a Southern, God-fearing woman, despite what you may see when she’s entertaining. She may not have much in common with Kim,” a source told us.
Added the source, “It’s like, Jay believed in you and now you’ve alienated him to where he’s like f - - k you.” One source doubts their friendship will survive, but another said, “Their relationship is familial . . . I’d be very surprised if they didn’t work together or have some kind of relationship in the future.”
Do you think Jay Z and Kanye will be able to fix their fractured friendship? It seems unlikely that Bey will ever befriend Kim, despite all the photos they’ve taken together.

This story is still developing, but WSBTV’s Liz Art is providing live updates.
A Georgia mother has been taken into custody after calling 911 around 4:50 a.m. this morning. It’s unclear what the unidentified mom said on the call, but when police arrived, they found the bodies of her husband and 4 children. AJC.com reports there is a 5th child in critical condition.
Neighbors told press that the mom might have been suffering from depression, triggered by her dad dying just a few weeks ago. Reportedly, prayers were made over the woman when she attended church this past Sunday.
A Gwinnett county poilice officer on the scene right now says she doesn’t want to alarm anyone in the area, and that the adult female is being questioned right now, in custody.
Although it hasn’t been confirm, neighbors say the adolescent victims range in ages from “toddler to seven years old.”
Sad.
