Lil' Kim Makes History

Brooklyn rapper Lil' Kim will hold the unique distinction of being the first female to ever get a 5-mic rating from The Source magazine. The Naked Truth, the rapper's fourth solo album, will be bestowed with the prestigious honor in the October issue of the magazine. "I think it just does great for the evolution of women," Lil' Kim told AllHipHop.com. "I thinks it's gonna be great for women now too." With her latest offering, Lil' Kim said she'll help change the pessimistic attitudes for females in Hip-Hop.

"Shut Up Bitch" still is corny in my opinion until Kat Williams aka Money Mike from Friday After Next fame comes on the track and starts rambling. Don't forget Kimmy goes away this month for a year and a day.

Pork Skins This, Pork Skins That

BallerStatus.net: Now you got this mixtape bubbling and I hear about this pork skin business that you have. How hard is it for you to continue moving forward and not get pulled to the left or right, speaking about the other ventures? Tell me about the pitfalls and how you're handling avoiding them.

Young City: Ah man, yeah...I sold about 216,000 [pork skins] the first day. That's me, I'm Young City!

Michael Jackson Gets His Strongman On

Get ready for the new Michael Jackson! Michael is changing his look at the request of his parents. Michael, who recently turned 47, is going for a more macho look. Michael's makeover will include a more bulky frame. He is lifting weights and working out with a trainer. He is also going to start wearing shorter wigs (yes, he wears a wig). He'll start wearing less makeup. Michael is hoping with a major makeover and lifestyle change he can get a long term deal to perform regularly in Las Vegas. Celine Dion, Elton John and Gladys Knight are just some of the performers who have signed these exclusive deals.
