Lil’ Wayne - MyFoxAtlanta reports that, on Friday night, [ 2 one 5 ]’s favorite rapper Lil’ Wayne was arrested in Idaho on felony fugitive charges. It seems tha Carter didn’t show up for, not one, but two court dates in Georgia stemming from drug charges. Weezy’s attorney claims it was all a misunderstanding: that his client’s fame caused a few things to slip through the cracks. Right.
Beanie Sigel - Beanie’s been in a lot of trouble: attempted murder, drugs, guns, etc. So, what did he do this time? Beans rented a Nissan Altima back in July and never returned the car. He racked up $5,000 in late fees, and the car was reported stolen in early September. The car was returned shortly before the cops could show up at his Lansdale(!) home to arrest him. Sigs is expected to turn himself in today.

Last Thursday night brought about the official launch of mode b. clothing at a fashion show called Glamarazzi. Our friend Antoine at House of Talent PA put the whole thing together, and it turned out to be a huge success. [ 2 one 5 ] was on hand to drink all the free Pink Vodka we could, sell t-shirts, mingle, and, of course, take pictures. As you might have guessed, head to our Flickr page to see them all. ps - Eve’s (The Fist Lady of Ruff Ryders/Eve of Destruction) mother was in the audience.

So, Philadelphia, we’ve finally made it. We’re in Rolling Stone! That’s right, the magazine that was somewhat cool when you were like 12 or 13, but now is just filled with stuff you’ve known about for six months or more thanks to the Internet. In their “Hot Issue” (with Kid Rock on the cover no less), the staff at RS ranks Philly as the hot music scene. With small spotlights pointed on Diplo, The Teeth, Spank Rock, The Last Drop, Dr. Dog, Silk City, and the First Unitarian Church, RS really dug deep into the Philly music scene to uncover the standards. Also, even though there’s two pages of Philly’s gems, it’s not a spread. That’s right, we must not be that “hot” if Rolling Stone broke us apart with ad space. Don’t look for much in the way of interviews of quotes from any of these people/venues either. There’s about one quote per musician. So, you know they did their homework and developed quite a story.

Welcome to Monday. It’s Columbus Day, or something, and that means tons of shit is closed/canceled/off. Not us, however. Well, some of us. We’re lean and mean in the office today, but that isn’t stopping us from serving up a few posts in this online world we call a blog. Anyway, over the weekend, we noticed the excitement building for our magazine, Living Proof. Exhibits A and B: These pictures:
The magazine is just about ready to be unleashed. We’ve starved it for days, didn’t let it interact with other magazines/people, kept it locked in a small cage, and hit it a few times in our attempt to recreate the ferocity of one of Michael Vick’s dogs. If our magazine loses, it’s getting drowned or electrocuted. Count on it. Don’t let us kill it, people. Read it. We’ll let you know when/where it’s out.
