*GET YOUR OWN @ IMNOTCHOCOLATE.COM*

“It’s time for us to rebuild a New Orleans, the one that should be a chocolate New Orleans. And I don’t care what people are saying in Uptown or wherever they are. This city will be chocolate at the end of the day. This city will be a majority African-American city. It’s the way God wants it to be. You can’t have it no other way.”
- New Orleans Mayor - C. Ray Nagin

I’m sure you’ve all heard that quote one time or another. (read more about it)
I’ve seen a couple people with the Willy Nagin shirts. Personally I’m partial to this one.

RAY J A FORMER GANGBANGER?

I was surfing around on yahoo.com and came across this interview. Ray J needs to stop, I mean don’t get me wrong, he is good looking but he is really lame to me. And get this he was a so-called ‘gangbanger’? Yeah the fuck right! Here is a snippet from the interview:

AP: So you’re a former gangbanger?

Ray J: Yeah. As a teenager … I was young and just trying to find myself.

AP: I’ve read that you’ve been shot at so many times, you can’t remember all of them. Did they ever shoot at you for being Brandy’s brother?

Ray J: (Laughs) No. When you live in Carson and Compton and Long Beach and you growin’ up in the neighborhood, getting shot at is just a regular thing. If you’re hanging out at the school after hours with your friends and y’all shootin’ dice and people are drinking and smoking and it’s a gang environment and it’s a party life constantly, that’s where another rival gang targets. Just wearing red or wearing blue, in L.A., you get shot at. It was just one day when I almost got shot in front of my house, my grandma, in front of my family, and I realized it was no more fun and games. We used to run and laugh and hop the gate and get away, but that time I felt like my life was being threatened.

AP: Have you ever shot at anybody?

Ray J: Nah, I never shot at anybody. I didn’t take it there. You know I was only 13, 14.

AP: Have you ever see any of your friends shot?

Ray J: One of my friends got shot in my truck. My best friend now, Shorty Mack, he’s on my label, my hype man, my rapper, he got shot in the stomach and the arm with a .45 in my truck. I never really mentioned it, because it’s hard for people to believe and I think sometimes it’s irrelevant with what I’m trying to do right now. But if people want to know, I’m never afraid to tell them what happened. (read more)
