It’s well known that you can’t falsely cry “fire” in a public area, an act punishable under law in certain states. But what if you do it online, like Game did over the weekend? On Friday, he tweeted the Compton police station’s phone number, initiating thousands of his followers to flood their telephone lines and consequentially delaying emergency services. Stupid? Very much. But what about the legality of such an action? Should Game be held accountable for his Tweet and can he be prosecuted for it?

To put it bluntly, I’d say yes. For one, every online activity leaves a paper trail and even if though Jayceon deleted the Tweet, the message is still quite easily traceable and it can be quickly identified from what computer or mobile device the message came from. If it was from the machine where most of his Tweets come from, then the odds of his claim that his account was hacked and that his friend did it, is more than likely a fat load of sh*t.

The bottom line is if Chuck’s actions online indeed did take away from the safety of citizens around him, then yes, I think it should be fair game to hold him liable. According to a sheriff’s spokesman, a misdemeanor in California typically carries a maximum sentence of a year in jail and each of the hundreds of phone calls could constitute a separate offense.

Not to be lost in the shuffle but did anyone realize that this occurred within a few days of his album dropping? Coincidence, I think not. Buddy will do literally anything to keep his name in the airwaves. Not a good look, Game. Try again next time.

The way Bussa Buss takes command of “Harsh,” one would think the track belongs to him, as opposed to Styles P. From the hook, to his verse, to random ad-libs Busta transforms what probably would have been just another throwaway record into a potential single. Read the rest of this entry »

Ever since the summer LFO saw their 15 minutes come and go, Abercrombie & Fitch has been associated with douche bags. From the near-nude models on their bags to the arrogant assholes rocking ripped $100 jeans, the brand has built it’s image around unjustified superiority and, as a result, has always attracted a certain breed of meathead. Well, now, A & F is trying to clean up it’s image by doing something completely unorthodox – paying Jersey Shore’s The Situation to stop wearing their clothes.

We are deeply concerned that Mr. Sorrentino’s association with our brand could cause significant damage to our image. We understand that the show is for entertainment purposes, but believe this association is contrary to the aspirational nature of our brand, and may be distressing to many of our fans. We have therefore offered a substantial payment to Michael ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino and the producers of MTV’s The Jersey Shore to have the character wear an alternate brand. We have also extended this offer to other members of the cast, and are urgently waiting a response.

While this is obviously a severe case of the kettle calling the pot black, the company’s public dismissal of this guy is quite awesome. They obviously don’t need the money and there’s probably some truth to their argument. He’s a certified creep, whose attention far exceeds his actual interest.

You think he’ll take the money, or flaunt the clothes extra-hard strictly out of spite? I vote for spite, so we can watch both of them go down in flames.

Update: A day after their offer to The Situation, A&F’s stock prices dropped 7%. Who’s zoomin’ who?

While rappers like Odd Future, Lupe and currently Tunechi have all taken their skater aesthetic in a more literal sense, I just kinda like the “don’t give a f*ck” attitude that the style of dress has. I’d probably break my neck if I ever set foot on a skateboard but that doesn’t stop the sport’s fashion from creeping into my closet Read the rest of this entry »
