Shocker: Snowman previously worked as "Chuckles the Clown"

Following the recent revelation that rapper Rick Ross was previously employed as a prison guard for the Florida Department of Corrections, the week reporters uncovered another rapper with a hidden past that contradicts his gangster lifestyle. According to the Associated Press, despite his claims of a criminal past and a history of drug dealing, rapper Young Jeezy used to work as an entertainer at children's birthday parties near his home in Macon, Georgia.

According to reports, Jeezy, the self described "Snow Man" was previously known as “Chuckles the Clown” and “Majesto the fun time party Magician” in addition to work dressing up as popular children's characters including Barney the Dinosaur and Winnie the Pooh.

Walt Mortenson, owner and founder of Walt’s Wacky Party Supplies told reporters that Jeezy, real name Jay Jenkins, was a valued employee for over five years. “I remember Jay, he was wonderful with the children. Whether he was making balloon animals, or dressing up as [Winnie the] Pooh, he always had a smile on his face, and a spring in his step.”

When asked about his alleged past employment, Jeezy was quick to deny the accusations. “The snowman never work no nine-to-five, feel me? We trappin’ and we strappin’, ya heard? Yeeah! Jeezy make it snow, I’m tha snow man. It’s like a blizzard when Young Jeezy on the block. I don’t know no balloon animals. Balloon Doggy? Get tha fuck outta here!”

Despite the denials, the rumors surrounding Jeezy’s past persist. Jamal Wilson, a high school student in Decatur, Georgia, claims that Jeezy performed at his birthday party as a magician. “I knew it was that dude! He was at my birthday. Jeezy came, he made me a balloon dog, then that mothafucka ate like 10 slices of ice cream cake! That’s what’s up.”

This is far from the first time a rapper’s past has contradicted his public persona. In addition to the recent outings of Rick Ross and Young Jeezy, rapper Jay-Z previously revealed that Prodigy of the rap duo Mobb Deep used to take ballet lessons and 50 Cent has accused The Game of performing as a male stripper and exposed his appearance on the dating show “Change of Heart” where his girlfriend had a change of heart and opted to date another man.

Reports have been surfacing regarding other rappers’ pasts as well. Commenters on several hip hop internet message boards have reported that the self described “gentleman” Fonzworth Bentley was nicknamed "Dirty Raw Dogg" during his adolescence, due to his substandard grooming habits as welll as his preference for inexpensive malt liquor and unprotected sex. It has also been reported that Busta Rhymes frequently performed a raunchy drag queen act in Manhattan's West Village as “Mistress Zelda” and that Sean "P Diddy" Combs is not, in reality, a self-absorbed douchebag.

Young Jeezy's latest album The Recession was released yesterday on Def Jam Records. Buy it at Amazon HERE.

Tony Yayo Arrested For Assaulting a Four Year Old

Rapper and 50 Cent's man servant Tony Yayo was arrested today on charges that he threatened and assaulted a toddler while dining in a Denny’s restaurant in East Brunswick, New Jersey. According to witnesses, Yayo (real name Marvin Bernard) had just finished his “Moon over my hammy” when he noticed a child in the restaurant staring in his direction.

Monique Delmonde, a waitress in the restaurant, told reporters that Yayo began staring down the young child and taunting him verbally. “What up lil’ bitch? You gotta eye problem? Why don’t you just turn around son?” The rapper reportedly asked, before throwing French Fries in the direction of the child’s high chair.

The confrontation escalated when the child began laughing and threw a chicken nugget that landed in Yayo’s soft drink. At that point Yayo was heard telling his dining companions, “We gon’ fuck dat baby up!”

Yayo ran at the youngster and reportedly was able to slap the child several times before the child’s family and restaurant employees were able to intervene. The G-Unit lackey and 50 Cent's tax write-off was then forcibly ejected from the restaurant. Police officers, responding to several 911 calls from diners in the restaurant arrived at the scene and promptly arrested the rapper for assault, disturbing the peace and other charges stemming from the low quality of his debut album "Thoughts of a Predicate Fellon" .

This is not the first time the less than talented rapper has had problems with the law resulting from a run in with a much younger individual. Yayo was previously charged with assaulting the 14 year-old son of rival rapper The Game's manager, Jimmy "Henchmen" Rosemond. Yayo also reportedly kicks puppies and gives painful "Indian Burns" to the elderly.

When reached for comment, Yayo explained his actions, telling reporters, “G-Unit, we don’t play around. It's Tony Yayo up in this bitch. Got them German lugers with them hollow tips. Whether you’re four or a hundred and four, we gon ride on you! Buck! Buck! Buck!”

The when asked about the incident, the toddler who was involved in the fracas told reporters Yayo was a "poo poo head." and "eats doodie."

KRS-One educates youth about non-violence, KRS-One

Prior to injuries that lead to the postponement of KRS-One's “Stop the Violence” tour, the rapper and Nike pitchman spent last Monday at Crane High School in Chicago educating students about non-violence and who KRS-One is. The tour, which includes stops in some of the nation’s roughest neighborhoods is geared toward promoting KRS-One’s message of nonviolence and his latest single, "Self-Construction." Speaking to a disinterested teenage audience with only a vague notion of who he was, KRS-One (real name Lawrence Parker) spouted trite slogans and non-sequiturs, urging students to “Create themselves” and “polish their mind metal.”

Once considered a significant figure in the hip hop community, KRS-One has been largely ignored by the younger generation of hip hop fans due both to his creepy demeanor and his pseudo intellectual condescension. KRS hopes to appeal to a younger demographic by appearing at their schools and yelling at them for twenty minutes. “I’m talking deep here, only five of you are probably going to understand what I’m saying here,” he told a captive audience who faced detention if they did not remain for the entire lecture, “I'm going to be real with you.”

Reaction to KRS’s message was mixed among the student body. When asked for comment, Tamika Jones, a sophomore, asked, “Why did they get the janitor to talk to us about violence? Did his son get shot or something? He’s old… and weird.”

“This is some bullsh*t, I thought we was gettin’ T.I.!” declared Darnell Washington, referring to the more popular southern rapper who is touring local high schools as part of his court ordered community service.

Others in attendance found much to admire in KRS’s message of hope and beginner level eastern philosophy. Derrick Parson, the gym teacher at Crane High School declared "Man back in '81, I remember the Blastmaster KRS-1 rappin’ at a park party out in Brooklyn Heights. The bridge is over! Maaaan, I thought that guy had retired or something"

KRS-One had a message for the public, "If you keep perpetuating violence, aggressive behavior, that's what people are going to gravitate toward. But if you turn the volume up on peace, people will gravitate towards that as well. Enlightenment comes through education which is fundamental to Hip Hop and to proceed to the next level in the God's karmic knowledge.”

KRS-One’s “Stop the Violence” tour has been temporarily postponed due to injuries to KRS-One caused by violence. The weekend after KRS-One’s “Stop the Violence” rally there were 26 shootings in the Chicago area resulting in four fatalities.

KRS-One’s “Self Construction Preview video featuring The Game (plead no contest to weapons and assault charges), Cassidy (convicted of involuntary manslaughter and two counts of aggravated assault), Fat Joe (arrested on robbery and assault charges), Chamillionare (arrested in a video once).

Murder 4 Life Exclusive: Spider Loc's Debut Album Slated for Release “Soon”

Sources close to west coast rapper and G-Unit punchline Spider Loc, ne Curtis Norvell Williams, have confirmed the hip hop artist’s latest album “West Kept Secret” will be officially released “Soon.” The release date is good news for the rapper, who’s hypothetical album was first announced for release in Nevuary 2008 and has since suffered from a series of delays and set-backs.

In a Murder 4 Life exclusive, Spider Loc’s Baby-Mama’s cousin from around the way commented, “Yeah baby, my boo Spider is definitely Cripin' for G-Unit West ya heard? Spider told me that the album was coming ‘Soon’ for all you hater-ass bamas.” The rapper who’s career highlights include an appearance on the adequate soundtrack for the 50 Cent semi-fictional biopic, “Get Rich or Die Tryin,” and a completely inconsequential beef with fellow West Coast rapper The Game apparently remains irrationally optimistic about the prospect of his record receiving an official release. According to sources close to the rapper, the unexplainably boastful MC, and self described “G-Unot Killa” has declared “Tell me what the Loc is if he ain’t the shit.” Members of Loc’s inner-circle expect “multi-platinum sales in the streets” and at least multi-dozen sales in retail locations worldwide from Compton to Englewood. When reached for comment, Loc stated, “Game didn’t bring the West back he just cleared my way. This is what we’ve all been waiting for, G-Unit West, Spider Loc, mess your chest up like an egg toss. Believe that.”

If true, this announcement could mean a busy 2008 for G-Unit records which already has several releases planned for both Nevuary and Soon, including records from the extremely patient Hot Rod, the increasingly irrelevant Free Way and the largely forgotten Mase Murder.

When reached for comment sources for G-Unit/Interscope referred Murder 4 Life to an intern in the mailroom who would neither confirm or deny the story.
