Jay-Z, Nas and Biggie Paper Toys

Leave a comment

I have tried making some creative stuff with paper when I was a kid, but it just wasn’t my thing. Only thing I could make were paper planes, but at least I tried. I’m grown up now, so I don’t have time nor interest in those kind of things anyways.

But this got me excited though; HipHopHeads paper toys.

These are paper toys made to look like three of the Hip Hop G.O.A.T.’s: Biggie, Jay-Z and Nas. I find the Nas one a bit off, but you can judge by yourself.

HIPHOPHEADS is a brand of collectible paper-toys aimed at all hip-hop listeners that would like to commemorate classic hip-hop in an innovative way. Inspired to recreate the nostalgic relationship fans once had of proudly purchasing physical music, HIPHOPHEADS has been branded authentically, through the concept of collecting 12-inch vinyl records. Series 1, commemorating the debut albums by 3 of the cultures most prolific artists, Nas, The Notorious B.I.G and Jay-Z.

Nicki Minaj’s “Stupid Hoe” Banned From BET

Leave a comment

I don’t check for videoclips in tv, but if you were waiting to see it on BET, you can forget it.

BET who wouldn’t specify exactly why the network has banned the video — simply saying BET will not be broadcasting it.

But sources at the company tell us, the ban was put in place because the video’s just too explicit for TV.

The song lyrics alone are bad enough — repeating the phrase “stupid h*e” dozens of times — but the video itself is damn raunchy too, showing several nearly naked female figures.
