Established by Charles “Big Boy” Temple and producer Leroy “Precise” Edwards, Big Boy Records would go on to release some of New Orleans’ most favored records including, Partners-N-Crime’s “Pump Tha Party”, Fiend’s “I Won’t Be Denied”, and Mystikal’s “Y’All Ain’t Ready Yet.”
The Boot Camp Clicc Reunion start as 8 p.m. at the Howlin’ Wolf (907 S. Peters St.). Tickets are $20 for general admission and $50 for V.I.P.

I can honestly say I have an addiction and that’s something I’m going to have to deal with as I move forward in my life. But to all of you out there, I know there’s a lot of y’all that got y’all situations that y’all go through sexually. Whether it’s fellas messing with two or three women at a time or even some of you women. Women are just as much as cheaters as men out there. I mean, let’s just be honest, man. Everybody is not living a righteous lifestyle out there. Even myself. What I wanted to do today is to talk about the importance of safe sex, talk about the importance of using a condom, just talking about the importance of being healthy in your life as far as taking an HIV test. Now when I say taking an HIV test, the first thing people think about is that, ‘I don’t want anybody to know my business.’ Well, I got a little situation for you. You can go to AIDS Healthcare Foundation. Now at AHF, your business is your business, as it should be,” Cee added. “Private and confidential. There are professionals to help you with your situation. AHF has all new facilities throughout Brooklyn all the way to Amsterdam. Matter of fact, there’s a facility right on Atlantic Ave right in Brooklyn.”

In the Warner Bros Animation quarter-hour series Mike will solve mysteries with the help of his trusty talking pigeon side-kick.

Other shows set to hit the network as part of the new programming include, Aqua TV Show Show, Black Dynamite, The Boondocks, Children’s Hospital, NTSF:SD:SUV::, Robot Chicken, Squidbillies and The Venture Bros.

Massachusetts Department of Children and Families Opens New Case on Lil’ Poopy
(AllHipHop News) Being one of the youngest rappers in the game is proving to be an issue for the Brockton, Massachusetts fourth-grade rapper known as Lil’ Poopy.
According to reports, the Department of Children and Families (DCF) has opened a new case on the miniature sized rapper, born Luis Rivera Jr, now 10 years old.
Despite closing a two month long investigation in April, the DCF has opened a new case after Poopy’s videographer and producer, Brian Slay, was pulled over by Brockton police and the car smelled like marijuana
According to police, the young rapper and his videographer were approached by Brockton Police after they pulled into a McDonald’s after midnight earlier this week.

Although the police did not find any marijuana, the routine traffic stop has now turned into an investigation into the young rapper’s family after Lil Poopy was in the car with Slay.
When they saw ‘Lil Poopy’ in the car, it escalated from a routine stop to harassment,” said Joseph Krowski, Lil Poopy’s attorney. “Why this warrants an investigation is just as perplexing as the last time.”
Lil’ Poopy’s rise to fame began after a series of controversial videos caused Brockton police to investigate Poopy’s family for abuse and neglect in February of this year.
Proclaiming to be a “Coke Boy,” the French Montana prepubescent protegé raised eyebrows earlier this year when he was seen slapping women’s backsides in a night club setting, rapping, “coke ain’t a bad word.”
More news as details emerge.
