Jay-Z to Team Up with Ralph Lauren for “The Black Collection”?

Written on Wednesday, March 15th, 2006 by Cinzano D :: 0 comments to this post

Jay-Z delivered “The Black Album.” Now there’s word that Ralph Lauren is trying to target Hova to give you “The Black Collection”.

Ralph Lauren, the man who brought the polo phenomenon, is said to be tired of watching Tommy Hilfiger and Sean Combs pile up dead Presidents by selling clothes to the HipHop Market and Urban youth.

Word on the Street is that insiders say, Lauren has made back-channel offers to Jigga to lend his name to a line of men’s wear and home furnishings.

Lauren’s rep insists that there’s been no direct contact between the two former Brooklynites. But a source tells us Lauren is attracted to Jay’s new fondness for tailored suits. (The invitation to his L.A. party the other night told guests to dress “grown and sexy.”)

Peeps close to Jigga say that he hasn’t decided whether a deal with Lauren would compromise his street cred.

Snowman Young Jeezy Feels the Heat in Miami Shooting Incident

Written on Tuesday, March 14th, 2006 by Cinzano D :: 0 comments to this post

Early Saturday morning Young Jeezy, born Jay Jenkins, was busted on weapons charges after a shootout on a busy South Beach strip involving some of his friends.

Miami Beach police arrested the Atlanta-based rapper and charged him with two counts of carrying a concealed firearm. No one was injured.

According to HipHopgame.com A fight broke out at about 5:30 a.m. Friday morning in the 1200 block of Washington Avenue when Tramiel De Juan Golden — a producer — was caught fighting on tape with several men, who were not identified. Young Jeezy was with the group.

A passerby, Marco Raez, turned on his video camera, and started filming. Golden demanded: ”Give me the camera.” The feud escalated. When Raez refused, another man Raheem Karriem, who was also with Golden, lifted his shirt to reveal a gun tucked into his waistband.

Karriem began shooting. Raez surrendered the camera Miami Beach Police spokesman Robert Hernandez said about nine men, including Young Jeezy, got into two separate SUVs and fled the scene.

Karriem got into a black Landrover while Jeezy jumped into a Lincoln Navigator, police said. Before he was stopped by police, Karriem smashed into three parked cars, causing thousands of dollars in damages.
Police caught up to the Navigator moments after the incident occured. Jeezy, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, pointed his fingers at officers, making believe it was a gun.

Officers found a semi-automatic firearm under his seat and another similar firearm, near the armrest. Jeezy was arrested and charged with two counts of carrying a concealed firearm without a permit, while Golden was charged with strong armed robbery. Another man, Steven Lesly Savain, of West Kendall — who was also with the group — was taken into custody. Read more about… Young Jeezy Snowman
