This Is Why You Can't Believe Rappers Nowadays...


If you're a fan of hip hop at all, then you've definitely heard of 50 Cent and his G Unit crew, which originally consisted of group members 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo and the recently dismissed Young Buck. Well, it seems like Young Buck desperately wants to rejoin the crew, and he cried his eyes out during this phone conversation with Fif, pleading with him to let him back in the circle. Check out the full convo...




Damn! Dude sounds like a straight b*tch. It's a shame too. Young Buck was one of our favorite G Unit members. This just goes to show you that the same dudes that make all this gangsta rap are really soft as twinkie filling behind closed doors. We're wondering if is career will ever rebound after this debacle. And how f'd up is 50 for airing Buck out like this? Even though it is hilarious!

R. Kelly Is A Free Man!




It has been six years since Robert Kelly was first charged with videotaping himself having sex with a young girl. Yesterday, the R&B superstar was finally acquitted of all charges in his child pornography trial.

The Grammy award-winning singer dabbed his face with a handkerchief and hugged each of his four attorneys after the verdict was read. The singer had faced 15 years in prison if convicted.

Minutes later, surrounded by bodyguards, he left the courthouse without comment. Dozens of fans screamed and cheered as he climbed into a waiting SUV.

Both Kelly and the now 23-year-old alleged victim had denied they were the ones appearing on the tape, which was played for the jury at the beginning and end of the trial.

The prosecution's star witness was a woman who said she engaged in three-way sex with Kelly and the girl from the video. Defense attorneys argued the man on the tape didn't have a large mole on his back, as Kelly does.

New Video: Nelly feat. Jermaine Dupri & Ciara - Stepped On My J's




Honestly, we don't even do J's like that, at least not here in Tingy's World. If we do cop a pair, you better believe they're gonna be some exclusives. Not to mention that the overall popularity of Air Jordans has also began to fade. We're feeling like this song and video are a little late. And is anybody out there anticipating Nelly's new project? Cause we damn sure ain't!

Our Favorite Things: Nudie Jeans




We all have a pair of jeans in our closets that we love. Maybe it's the color. Maybe it's the fit. Maybe it's the memories. For whatever reason - there's that one pair of jeans that you would wear everyday if you could.




For sometime now, I've been obsessed with Nudie Jeans (I own seven pair, and counting). Besides the fact that they're premium denim, they are also fairly exclusive. Only a handful of stores and boutiques carry them here in New York, and we wouldn't have it any other way. We love everything about them, so we decided to share them with you. Just promise you won't tell any lames! LOL




Nudie is the ”naked truth about denim”. Denim has the ability to age beautifully – formed by its user into a second skin, naked and personal. The longer it lives the more character it gets. The indigo is a living colour that fades and gives the denim its character. The more you wear your jeans the more beautiful they get. Jeans are more than just a piece of clothing.
