Charles Barkley Still Isn't Impressed by San Antonio Women (@CharlesBarkley)



The women of San Antonio welcomed Charles Barkley with slightly open arms Monday night.


Barkley ruffled feathers in the city last week after making comments on the women of San Antonio saying they were "big" and claimed that they wear bloomers.


"There's some big 'ol women down there," said Barkley. "That's a gold mine for Weight Watchers." He added, "Victoria is definitely a secret...they can't wear no Victoria's Secret down there."


Barkley also stated that he wouldn't apologize for the comments because he was simply playing around.


During the West Conference Finals, Tim Duncan's stunning girlfriend Vanessa Macias made a statement with her friends and donned "Barkley Don't Know" tees.


Barkley was less than impressed.


"That woman ain't from here," he joked. "They flew her in from Dallas."

50 Cent Celebrates Money and Success in 'Twisted' Video


50 Cent is churning out the visuals for his new album, ‘Animal Ambition,’ with speed. After debuting the radio rip of the club banger ‘Twisted,’ produced by Dutch beatsmith Mr. Probz, Monday (May 19), the video arrives just one day later.


Since the song is about achieving success and celebrating the results, the G-Unit head honcho provides visuals that come off just as celebratory. Seemingly shot in a posh lounge, 50 is surrounded by his crew — each decked out in designer tuxedos. And once the champagne is thrown in, the fancy surroundings and the beautiful women make for a pretty opulence party.


Perhaps surprisingly, Tony Yayo makes a brief appearance in the video. Fif and Yayo haven’t been on the best terms lately, and both have taken shots at each other through the media.


‘Twisted’ will appear on ‘Animal Ambition,’ scheduled for a June 3 release.

VladTV has exclusively learned from a very reliable source that Diplomat and Harlem's own Juelz Santana has been in serious talks with YMCMB about joining the label.

Black Sheep Meets Tha Alkaholiks ...and Some Other Guys


Since long-lost, unreleased tracks are finally being released on vinyl by both Black Sheep and Tha Alkaholiks , I thought it would be a good time to take a look back at this fun but mostly forgotten 90's record where they collaborated. This is "Dirty Money," by J-Ro and Dres, on PAC Records. Oh, and some guys known as The Flowmastaz Click.



Yeah, this is actually The Flowmastaz' single, and J-Ro and Dres are their special guests on this one song, though I've often seen it listed on line as if the Flowmastaz was a mini "super group" consisting of J-Ro and Dres. But, no, there's actually a whole Flowmastaz Click album, appropriately entitled Flowmastaz Click, and J-Ro and Dres are only on this one song. It's just that the star power of their guests outshone them.



In fact, The Flowmastaz have a bit of a history, albeit an obscure one. They're a Californian Latino trio consisting of Echo 1 aka Bout It, T-Swoop and Nome. They released their album and an earlier single, "Who's To Blame," the year before in 1998. They owned their own label, PAC Records, which also put out releases by a couple other groups. That album didn't feature "Dirty Money," though. That was only released on this one 12".



But the Flowmastaz story didn't end there. A few years later (2002), The Outsidaz ' label RuffLife signed them under a slightly different name, Flow Click. And they didn't just drop 1/3 of their name but 1/3 of their roster, as Nome was out, and it was just Bout It and T-Swoop left; and their album was titled, appropriately, Flow Click. I wonder if Rufflife even realized they were releasing the Click's second self-titled "debut" album? Anyway, they dropped one single ("Pretty Lady") and of course we all know what happened to Rufflife, so that was pretty much it for them.



I can't say The Flowmastaz deserved any better than they achieved... Their first album was one of those sort of G-funky west coast albums where the MCs were kind of more on an east coast lyrical tip, but not very much. You know: all very soupy and a middle-of-the-road mash of the popular styles at the time, kinda like DPG-lite. Then their second album catered more to the niche Spanglish audience. But, given that, they pull their own weight on "Dirty Money" surprisingly well.



It's a funky but tough little beat, produced by some guys named Lamark and J. Crumb, with some nicely rubbed in percussion by an uncredited DJ. There's a little bit of a hook, but mostly it's just a lyrical free for all with the MCs trading the mic back and forth.So it's not like a single verse from each guest and then they're done. They keep getting back on the mic for more. J-Ro - dubbing himself "J-Ro J. Simpson" here - mostly steals the show, but Dres has an impressively tight little rhyme scheme - though his voice is probably the most exciting aspect of his bars. And like I said, the Flowmastaz really hold up their end of the bargain as well (T-Swoop really sounds good on his last verse). If they'd recorded an album like this single, I probably would've checked for these guys' material even without J-Ro and Dres on it. But as it is, this is the only Flowmastaz record you really need in your crates.



But you really should have this one, because it's surprisingly fresh. It's just got the one song but complete in Dirty, Radio, Instrumental and even Accapella versions. And again, this is a vinyl exclusive (though I'm sure this found it's way onto more than a couple mixtapes in its day). It's just one of those awesome little 12" singles that could've only appeared in second half of the 90s.

Young Jeezy Settles Lawsuit with Hell's Angels Over Logo Usage (@youngjeezy)



Young Jeezy has decided to settle with the Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club.


According to TMZ, the "Me Ok" rapper will pay the collective for the use of their signature skull head logo. In 2013, the group took Jeezy to court and accused the rapper of using the logo for his 8732 clothing line.


The amount given to Hell's Angels is not known but a source told TMZ the amount is enough to cover drinks for the group.


Jeezy is currently prepping for his fifth album Seen It All.

Khloe Who? Trina Exposes That Thickness in Crazy Cut-Out Dress (@trinarockstar)



While many are pitting Miami bad girl Trina against Khloe Kardashian over allegedly stealing French Montana from her, the MC has been busy shutting down clubs and concerts around the country, and it's not just her mic skills that keep fans showing up. She's got curves for days and isn't afraid to show them off.


Trina recently hit the stage in lace shorts that cuffed the cake perfectly, and later stunned in a floor-length dress with cut-outs along the sides, very similar to a dress fellow caked up beauty Deelishis wore recently.
