See the Clip: Kid Cudi puts the pigs in their place....
Hot Box's own Mr. Jones caught wind of Cudi's latest rant. Cudi was recently arrested for unknown reasons and was later released under sketchy circumstances. Hit this:
Soon after, Cudi surfaced at South Carolina's House of Blues and had this to say:
TRUTH.
it shall set you free.

Rest In Peace to the King of Pop, The King of Music: Michael Jackson.
Contact: Lee v. Perry...
Spike Lee takes subliminal jabs at the one and only Tyler Perry, the Jack of all trades, for his continuous exploitation of African-Americans. Something that needed to be said...

See the Clip: Wale in DC...
Wale is in the DMV...roll out the red carpet. The King has arrived.
Wale givies an "intimate" look at The District, Chocolate City, "Don't Come", D.C. In between the live moments at well-known D.C. hot spots, we are finally given a glance at the sensitive tweeter that skims his hate mail and expresses his hurt REAL TIME. He gives his haters the highest regard by re-tweeting the worst of the spit-balls thrown at him on a daily basis. #wheredeydodatat??
Being that this is episode number four, we're left looking for more...

Contact: Trina v. Khia
This is the perfect example of a BIG BULLY (Trina) picking on the helpless short bus kid (Khia). NOT FAIR TRINA! PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR OWN SIZE!
Well we kinda understand her rage...the stage probably reeked of dred juice and ass crack...and FEET.

Laaaawd hammercy....we thought it ended with Fantasia. Boy oh boy were we sadly mistaken. "Rapper" Khia made it to the big screen. Throw them pig feet in the crock pot, pull the lazy boy up to the TV and feed your brain's junk food craving...

The Drive-In: The Best of Paulie Walnuts Gaultieri...
This caporegime later turned Underboss is a loose cannon, to say the least. Most people don't know that this Sopranos player was discharged from the US Army for psychiatric reasons. He got the name "Paulie Walnuts" after hijacking a truck that he believed to be filled with TVs, when in fact it was filled with Walnuts.

Hot Box of the Week: Natalie Nunn gets Molly-Wopped...
Natalie Nunn, the Bad Girl that boosted her fame by exploiting the already emotionally injured Chris Breezy, has been causing quite a stir in the world of Trash Television. Before Bad Girl's Club's fourth season got to air, Natalie was rumored to have been involved with Chris after numerous photos surfaced of the two cozied up.
Breezy continued to deny any form of a relationship with Nunn. He explained that the pictures were taken at a bowling party and that Nunn was given the photo-opp as a fan. Then this:
Yep...that is Natalie...in the studio....with the Mechanical Dummy. Didn't take much to catch Chris in a lie. Rihanna would probably agree.
Besides the fact that she resembles Guy Smiley, of Sesame Street, her abrasive personality got the best of her housemate Portia...and Natalie got her ass handed to her. Better Portia than Chris!! ((shots fired))....
LET'S GET READY TO RUUMMMBLE!!!!!!!!

Between Mo'Nique's brash spazzes, you'll find Lil' Wayne and a few Young Money members spilling the beans on the labels inner-workings and profesional ethics. This rare glimpse is a must-see.
Pay attention to the Young Money line-up given towards the end of the clip...Wayne explains the reason behind the decision to add every member to the label.
We feel enlightened. Thanks Mo'Nique.

Cloud-Niners: Robin & Paula
Most of our featured "cloud-niners" are new couples that have us waiting for breakup news...not this one...
Robin Thicke and Paula Patton have quietly captivated the curiosities of many...they are an intruiging love story that emerged way before either of their careers. The two are High School sweethearts.
Hold up....Hot box is confused...we normally critique Hollywood couples on the good, the bad and the UGLY. Where have our values gone? We have nothing but nice things to say about these two. Do we need to spark up again??
There's nothing to see here but pure, genuine, persisting LOVE; something our generation seems to have forgotten. These two slip under the radar of gossip blogs and entertainment websites that constantly nit-pick at Hollywood flings. Paula and Robin have proved that they are far more than a fling...
Here we see the two in Robin Thicke's "Lost Without You" video:
Here they are before style, before fashion, before Grammy nods, before Oscar noms...
and now....
The two are expecting a child sometime next year. Light somethin and fade away into the sunset with Thicke's "Sex Therapy" which was produced by Polow Da Don (really??)....the video has a lot of fashion features and tight imagery.
We wish these Cloud-Niners the best....

Munchies: Jagged Edge steps in the Box...
During our holiday travels throughout NYC over the holiday weekend, the Hot Box team stumbled upon none other than Jagged Edge. Don't think a refresher course is needed!! Ya'll remember these dudes...let's see what they've been up to:
Jagged Edge has been creating a lot of buzz off their new single "Tip of My Tongue" which features Trina and the recently encarcerated Gucci Mane. The song borrows from Art of Noise's "Moments in Love". Check out both tracks below:
On The Tip Of My Tongue - Jagged Edge Feat. Trina & Gucci Mane
Moments In Love - Art of Noise
These dudes are currently signed to Slip N Slide records along with Plies, Rick Ross and Trina. Look out for their new album The Remedy due out soon. Follow them @Official_JE !!

HIgh Grade: Cudi, Drake and Wale featured in GQ...
We'd like to believe that these three just kick it in laundry rooms all day, as pictured. We're also hoping that Drake is only wearing that horrible jacket because it's "laundry day". In reality we know that it has to be one of his best outfits (think first day of school). I mean, he's in GQ: the male version of Vogue where looks are everything.
Cudder is lookig quite spiffy in his Retro 6's not scheduled for release until Valentine's Day 2010.
Wale always looks the same.

Munchies: Beyonce ft. Lady Gaga "Video Phone" Remix Video
Hot Box likes. Peep the retro and futuristic looks she channels. Gaga falls flat when placed one-on-one with THE BEY and comes off a little Drag-ish. Hot video, nonetheless. This one's a visual roller coaster.

See the Clip: Katt Williams explains arrest...
If you follow Katt Williams on Twitter (@kattPackAllday), you know that he's been trippin lately. Hot Box loves Katt Williams, but poor lil tink tink!! He looks a hot mess in the clip and has been publicly comfirming his retirement. Bottomline? Katt needs to shake it off, go get a fresh perm and pick up a mike...
Who's next?
Munchies: Diddy/Dirty Money "Love Come Down"
Hot Box isn't falling for the "Dirty Money" gimmick. Once Diddy's tired of Dawn and the other chick, he'll be on to the next. Kinda like this....

Next to Blow? Yung Stack...
Mr. Stack, are you ready to Hot Box?
We were first exposed to this newfound rapper after his freestyle videos popped up all over the web:
First reaction? He's not like his brother...he's his own artist, in his own lane. If you clicked 'play' expecting to see a clone of Stack Bundles, spitting recycled Bundles bars, you've got the wrong guy. He's different...in a good way. He has his own identity, which will keep him out of his brother's shadow. We want to see Yung Stack become his own artist...and it looks like he has. So far so good...
Check-out Hot Box's exclusive interview with Yung Stack:
Overall? Two thumbs up...for Stack Bundles fans, finding out that he has a younger brother that also raps is promising. Stack Bundles' death was one of the biggest letdowns that NY has experienced. Yung Stack is guaranteed to keep loyal Stack fans on the edge of their seats...
WHAT WILL HE DO NEXT???
We have no doubt that he will mature into the lyrical monster that his older brother was. He has it in him; he has a lot to say. It's up to us to listen. Follow him here @Yung_Stack. We're waitin on that mixtape...
Who's next?
See the Clip: Jay-Z and Robin Thicke in the studio...

FlashBack: Stack Bundles Reaches for the Top...
There are very few artists that can take hold of Hot Box these days. The late Stack Bundles has had the Kung Fu grip on our attention for years...
Who is he, Hot Box? And why is he so important??? Sit down Kiddies...let's learn about Stack Bundles...aka Seymour Cake...aka THE HANDSOME HUSTLER. We'll let Stack do all the talking...it's only right...
Here we see him featured on VOL. I of The Come Up DVD:
NY at it's best...and peep how young Stack was...it was early in his game and he still WENT IN. Here's some more footage from "The Come Up" for you. See Stack candid...REAL...
Stack had Far Rockaway on his back...he had NY on his back...let's fast forward a bit...
Somethin light for the non-believers....that was leisure spittin'...downtime rap....
This next clip is the epitome of NY rap...Every New Yorker knows that every night (except Sunday) is Funk Master Flex night. Long rides from borrough to borrough throughout the night are only complete with Flex's bombs accentin' the moves...Stack made it there...
Stack continued to stun listeners with his mesmerising flow, fascinating imagery and relentless delivery. From then on, the only direction he went in was UP. Then came the tours, recording sessions, the photo shoots, interviews, trips, more money, girls, cars, shows...the fame. Success.
Even made it to the "Fly High" video shoot....
Stack was on his way...and he made it further than any other Far Rockaway star. Sadly, he was gunned down in the early morning hours on June 11, 2007 in the lobby of the Red Fern apartment complex he lived in. Stack was 24.
There's a lot of Stack's tracks circulating out there. New material surfaces on what seems to be a daily basis. The list is wayyy too long for us to even begin to list. Almost all of his mixtapes are available on DatPiff...some singles are on iTunes...freestyles are all over YouTube...Lil' Wayne has a track on his recently released No Ceilings mixtape that features a song titled "I'll Holla-Stack Bundles Tribute"...Fabolous, Joe Budden, Jim Jones, Max B., Lupe Fiasco, Jr Writer and a host of others have also put their love for the late Stack on vinyl.
R.I.P. Stack Bundles
