In today’s Daily Rap we find that Chuck D wants the girls, TI is getting his own show, Kanye has new shoes for Louis Vuitton and Jay Z Tickets Sell Out.
Chuck D, one part of Public Enemy has started work on a movement to encourage females in Hip-Hop.
There are very few females involved in the genre now and D hopes his movement Crew Grrl Order which us being pushed through his indie label SLAMjamz will be the beginning of bringing women back to the forefront.
The rapper/activist also believes that the lack of females in the industry on the performing side is encouraging the music to move backwards thus making all the progress made by MCs such Lyte, Queen Latifah, Monie Love void.
The sophomore album from Crew Grrl Order features MC Lyte and is scheduled for release in March.
Since embarking on community service stemming from gun charges, rapper TI has been speaking in schools encouraging anti violence and all his community service have been filmed for an MTV reality show.
The show Road to Redemption: 45 Days to Go will count down the days until TI turns himself in to serve is one year and one day sentence after purchasing firearms from an undercover police officer.
The MTV show is not however counted towards the rappers community service but sources within TI’s camp hope that the show will give kids ‘a new perspective on the damage guns and violence can bring.’
The show will debut on February 11th.
With rumors constantly circulating about Kanye West and his jump into the fashion world, there have been mixed reports about the rappers new line of sneakers for French design house Louis Vuitton.
West who designed a line of six sneakers has given paparazzi a little peek into his new project, but the response so far to the $500 a pair sneakers is not good.
The line which officially launches in June is one of Kanye’s first steps at proving himself as a fashion designer which he has been very vocal about lately. It has even been rumored that he is planning to move to London for a length of time to train at one of London’s most prestigious fashion schools, however nothing as of yet has been confirmed by the rapper.
Kanye made headlines again this week by telling Vibe Magazine that he would like to pose naked, if he had a couple of months to work on his body.
Looks like Jay Z is going to be a serious hit in Washington DC when he performs the night before the inauguration.
Tickets to the rappers show at the Warner Theatre sold out within five minutes costing anywhere from $175 - $375. Jay Z has always been able to sell out his shows in a short space of time.
His 2003 appearance at Madison Square Garden in NYC sold out again in record time and also broke records another way as he was the first Hip-Hop act to sell out the infamous Garden where it was just himself on the Bill.
Both he and his wife offered to perform at the President Elect’s swearing in on January 20th in the nations capital
