BLIND PICZ. The King Magazine contest held at the Loft last Friday was off the chain. Here are two pics from there to let yawl know what time it was! LOL
THE BIG ILLI MO STORY this week was Chitown rapper/producer Kanye West debuting is highly anticipated mini film, for his song, "Runaway" in which he directed that aired last Saturday on MTV and BET and various networking sites. It was written by Hype Williams and stars his current girlfriend, supermodel Selita Ebanks as a phoenix/supermodel.
Here is a summary of the film: A near nude phoenix lands in a fiery ball in the midst of a luxury car commercial set who wakes up on a Louis XIV sofa in Kanye's house. In front of her is a large flat-screen TV tuned in to the news. Kanye, remote in hand, says "First thing you learn in this world, baby -- don't pay attention to anything you see on the news." He then adds the phoenix/model to his private petting zoo, which also includes turkeys, sheep and bunny rabbits.
Next, Kanye uses a mixer to play music while the phoenix/model dances provocatively and a small child in red runs across a field brandishing a can releasing a cloud of red smoke. Suddenly, there are fireworks and what appears to be a marching band composed of beefy Scottish men leading a parade float bearing a large Michael Jackson bobble head.
Then there’s a scene at a white dinner party in an abandoned warehouse. Kanye arrives with his pheonix/model.. A guest asks Kanye if he knows his girlfriend is a bird. Kanye, "No, I never noticed that." In the background, white people in flowing robes serve wine to the guests.
Then, Kanye starts playing a piano and ballerinas burst into the room dressed in black tutusThe phoenix/model looks on.
The highlight of the film occurs when a turkey is served for the main dinner course and plopped on the table right in front of the phoenix/model, who jumps up, shows off a 20-foot wingspan and starts shrieking -- sending the other dinner guests running for cover. Kanye grasps his head with both hands.
Kanye and the ballerinas.
The phoenix/model is returned to the petting zoo. Suddenly, the phoenix/model and Kanye share a quiet conversation on a hilltop:
Phoenix/model: All the statues that we see, where do you think they came from?
Also, the rapper did an interview with 106 and Park cohost Rosci after the showing of the film, To see it goto http://www.bet.com/video/1389743
And as far as the song itself, the publicity on the mini-film didnt help the songs momentum on the charts for it falls out of the Top 40 on Billboard's Hot 100 from No. 38 to No. 54 in its third week on the chart. It debuted at its highest peak No. 12. Meanwhile the third single from his upcoming CD, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, titled "Monster" featuring Jay Z, Rick Ross and Nick Minaj debuts on the Hot 100 at No. 79.
In unrelated Ye newz, Ye is making plans for a star studded hip-hop tour with Jay Z and Lil Wayne. He said his dream lineup would include rappers Jay-Z and Lil Wayne. He adds, "I would definitely like to bring Nicki Minaj on tour, Rick Ross, Kid Cudi. ... I'd like to do different tours. ... I'd like to do a tour with me and Jay. I think that's an obvious winner right there. A tour with me and Wayne, maybe me, Wayne, Jay and Drake."

Also, former St. Louis Rams Isaac Bruce's jersey retirement ceremony will be conducted Sunday at the Edward Jones Dome.

In other Rams newz, the team lost in a last second play against the Bucs losing 18-17 against the Bucs in an away game last Sunday. Making them 3-4. The Rams next game will be back at home at the Edward Jones Dome against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
In related newz, speaking of the game Sunday, Rams running back Steven Jackson set the franchise rushing record breaking Eric Dickerson's all-time Rams rushing record. Jackson has topped the 100-yard mark in each of the last three games and his 617 rushing yards rank fourth in the NFL and second in the NFC behind Minnesota's Adrian Peterson (684). In his six seasons with the Rams, Jackson has 7,324 yards. But it was bittersweet for Jackson during his record breaker, for he broke his left ring finger (His second surgery this year following back surgery during the off season) during thatgame. As a result, he had surgery on it Monday. There was no info as of this blogging as to whether he would play in Sundays game against the Panthers.
UPDATE: The Belleville News Democrat reported Thursday that he will play in Sunday's game.

He said, “ I had a year off to do nothing. It was a shock. I didn’t know it was coming. It was disrespectful. So I was like, what am I gonna do. I had 15 months left on my contract and they was paying me until March 2011. Things could be worse. It was wonderful times with a whirlpool and the summer. Being in entertainment radio might be the lowest rung of the ladder but its part of the ladder. Kinda being in a race. But It didn’t feel right anymore. I coulda been just lounging. But I’m back on the air one day short of the year of the radio show was pulled. “ (PARAPHRASE)
Corcoran replaced former host of the spot, Charles Jaco. Corcoran was hired reportedly for the high ratings he could pull. Also, Corcoran, who have been on several stations in St. Louis since coming to STL in 1984, was fired Oct 2009 from the Classic Hits KIHT (96 FM) morning show along with his crew and was still under contract until the end of 2010.

This week, STL hip-hop journalist B Gyrl had an encounter with hip-hop groupie and Internet sensation Katt Stacks via Facebook and from it got some scoop on an altercation with STL rapper Nick Demio.
Here’s was B had to say on her site, http://www.stlhiphop.com/:
“With all the madness that's been goin down, mofos making death threats and losing their minds about not getting featured on Ali's mixtape (apparently a BIG bag of CHIPS with tha DIP), I COMPLETELY forgot Kat Stacks hit me up on Facebook, and ummmmmmmmmmmmmm, YES, THAT KAT STACKS.
At first I was like "yeah right", *Kat Stacks hitting me up with a friend request, for real?*... that is until I remembered the ongoing he said/she said between her and Nelly (with the last he said being something about her having mental issues after confronting her on the radio about an alledged ongoing affair... oh yeah, then the whole Kat Stacks vs Sidney Starr), then it became plausable, St. Louis is SO ON when it comes to who's sleeping with who drama (I know, I've been a victim of it), if only we could go platnium (sic) in that.
I decided to press my luck after approving her as a friend, hit her up to see if she'd be down with an interview to discuss her least favorite St. Louis rapper...and imagine my surprise when she was cool...not only agreeing to a forthcoming interview, but also dropping a dime about beef she has with another St. Louis rapper, Nick Demio.
Apparently she and Nick Demio were seated at the same table at an event in Miami chatting and drinking.... when Kat says "I said Fuck Nelly & St. Louis and this nigga poured a whole bottle of Rosay on me and spit in my face!"
Wow.
I'm like Really? Nick Demio? REALLY?
And she was like yes, "I thought everything was goin good, until I said that..lame azz!"
Wow.
Nick?
Well, we here at OUTTOWN contacted Nick Demio via Facebook on Wednesday about the allegation and here is what transpired: :
OUTTOWN: Hey fam just touching base. was checkin to see if that Kat Stacks incident was fabricated or a true? They got it all on stlhiphop. thanks .
OUTTOWN: damn. lol. she cudda pressed charges fam. .
Nick Demio: u rite..lol! sometimes we make quick choices that could cost us evrything..she kno what it is tho..i was caught in the moment, im so passionate about my city and the fact that we need to be on a bigger scale with this music, cuz it seems like we the last in this race..she will be alrite tho...lmao
All we can say is, just like B Gyrl…Wow. LOL

AND NOW TO THE BITZ.
THE BIG ILLI MO STORY this week was Chitown rapper/producer Kanye West debuting is highly anticipated mini film, for his song, "Runaway" in which he directed that aired last Saturday on MTV and BET and various networking sites. It was written by Hype Williams and stars his current girlfriend, supermodel Selita Ebanks as a phoenix/supermodel.Here is a summary of the film: A near nude phoenix lands in a fiery ball in the midst of a luxury car commercial set who wakes up on a Louis XIV sofa in Kanye's house. In front of her is a large flat-screen TV tuned in to the news. Kanye, remote in hand, says "First thing you learn in this world, baby -- don't pay attention to anything you see on the news." He then adds the phoenix/model to his private petting zoo, which also includes turkeys, sheep and bunny rabbits.
Next, Kanye uses a mixer to play music while the phoenix/model dances provocatively and a small child in red runs across a field brandishing a can releasing a cloud of red smoke. Suddenly, there are fireworks and what appears to be a marching band composed of beefy Scottish men leading a parade float bearing a large Michael Jackson bobble head.
Then there’s a scene at a white dinner party in an abandoned warehouse. Kanye arrives with his pheonix/model.. A guest asks Kanye if he knows his girlfriend is a bird. Kanye, "No, I never noticed that." In the background, white people in flowing robes serve wine to the guests.
Then, Kanye starts playing a piano and ballerinas burst into the room dressed in black tutusThe phoenix/model looks on.
The highlight of the film occurs when a turkey is served for the main dinner course and plopped on the table right in front of the phoenix/model, who jumps up, shows off a 20-foot wingspan and starts shrieking -- sending the other dinner guests running for cover. Kanye grasps his head with both hands.
Kanye and the ballerinas.
The phoenix/model is returned to the petting zoo. Suddenly, the phoenix/model and Kanye share a quiet conversation on a hilltop:
Phoenix/model: All the statues that we see, where do you think they came from?
Kanye: I think that artists carved them years and years ago.
Phoenix/model: NO! They are phoenix turned to stone.
The back and forth continues with the phoenix/model explaining that if she doesn't burn she can't go back to her world and will turn into a statue. Kanye says he doesn't want her to go back to her world.
Then, the incineration of the phoenix/model occurs and Kanye awakes alone on his roof. When he awakes, he runs through the forest (that was foreshadowed at the beginning of the film ) looking for his phoenix/model. But, he sees his phoenix/model through the air wearing a gold breastplate.
On MTV, after the film was shown some viewers reportedly felt the project invoked symbolism of the Illuminati, an ancient secret society that has been linked to contemporary conspiracy theories suggesting an elite group of leaders control the world unbeknownst to the general public.
On MTV, after the film was shown some viewers reportedly felt the project invoked symbolism of the Illuminati, an ancient secret society that has been linked to contemporary conspiracy theories suggesting an elite group of leaders control the world unbeknownst to the general public.
On Sunday (October 24), 'Ye took to his Twitter page to humorously address rumors that he's a member of that society. He tweeted: "I've got question about "the illuminati" ... what is it exactly ??? ... and why do people think pop stars have a membership???!!! LOL," he tweeted. "Is illuminati and devil worshipping like the same thing ... do they have a social network that celebs can sign up for?"
Hmmm, it is just hard to believe Ye is that naive as smart as he is.
Also, the rapper did an interview with 106 and Park cohost Rosci after the showing of the film, To see it goto http://www.bet.com/video/1389743
We think Kanye is doing what he is put on Earth to be--an artist. He is bringing in abstract expressionism and pop surrealism to hip-hop (and the cinemtography is breathtaking!!!!) . At first glance, the film will have your head scratching on what Ye was trying to convey with the Phoneix (with a compelling performance by Ebanks by the way) and symbolism, but when you dig deeper, and view it several times, you can see a piece of art that will be discussed and analyzed for days, weeks, months, years to come.
As far as his acting goes ---remember Prince's acting in "Purple Rain?" Enuff said. LOL
And as far as the song itself, the publicity on the mini-film didnt help the songs momentum on the charts for it falls out of the Top 40 on Billboard's Hot 100 from No. 38 to No. 54 in its third week on the chart. It debuted at its highest peak No. 12. Meanwhile the third single from his upcoming CD, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, titled "Monster" featuring Jay Z, Rick Ross and Nick Minaj debuts on the Hot 100 at No. 79.
+++++++
In unrelated Ye newz, Ye is making plans for a star studded hip-hop tour with Jay Z and Lil Wayne. He said his dream lineup would include rappers Jay-Z and Lil Wayne. He adds, "I would definitely like to bring Nicki Minaj on tour, Rick Ross, Kid Cudi. ... I'd like to do different tours. ... I'd like to do a tour with me and Jay. I think that's an obvious winner right there. A tour with me and Wayne, maybe me, Wayne, Jay and Drake."
+++++++++
And in more unrelated Ye newz, he has been named being more influential than the president of the United States, Barack Obama, according to a new poll by website AskMen.com. West made it at number five (Obama , who was No 4 last year was No 21) . Topping the list was show host Jon Stewart.
Speaking of Obama, Obama called in to the Tom Joyner Morning Show Tuesday speaking on the importance of people coming out to vote Nov. 2. He also joked about the performance of the Chicago Bears. To hear the interview copy and paste the link: http://v3.player.abacast.com/player/player.php?pid=

I wasn't expecting to be number one, but I thought I could have gotten mentioned."
Well, at least he was realistic. He knew that the closest he was going to get at No.1 was the song he recorded titled "No .1 " a few years back for the “Training Day” soundtrack. LOL

In unrelated newz, Nelly's comeback song, "Just a Dream" falls one spot from its peak at No. 3 to No. 4 this week on Billboard's Hot 100 in its 10th week on the chart.
We predicted that the song would reach No. 3 when it debuted at No. 12 nine weeks ago. The song has also lost its bullet so it doesnt seem likely that the song will rise again (especially with heavy competition with Far East Movement , Bruno Mars and Rhianna holding down the Top 3 spots on the chart) on the charts. Meanwhile, we might have already missed the mark on Nelly's third single from his upcoming CD, "5.0" titled "Move Your Body" featuring T-Pain and St. Louis native Akon. The song has vanished from the Hot 100! It debuted at No. 54 on the chart last week and strangely enough, is no longer on the chart. We predicted that it would at least reach the Top 20. Hmm, dunno what happened. Hopefully the song will re-enter.

The big STL stories this week were sports related . First was Mizzou shocking the #1 ranked Oklahoma Sooners with victory Saturday after breaking loose from a group of tacklers, Jerrell Jackson ran for a 38-yard reception for the go-ahead score, sparking a 16-point fourth quarter that helped No. 18 Missouri and ending the top team in the BCS standings with a 36-27 victory over error-prone Oklahoma.
Tied for the top STL story was former St. Louis Cardinals first baseman and emabattled homerun leader Mark McGwire will return for a second seaon at the St. Lousi ards batting coach.
Also, former St. Louis Rams Isaac Bruce's jersey retirement ceremony will be conducted Sunday at the Edward Jones Dome. The ceremony will take place before the St. Louis Rams' game with Carolina -- not at halftime as once reported earlier this year when he announced his retirement from the NFL. . The ceremony begins at 11:35 a.m., or 25 minutes before kickoff. Former Rams head coach Mike Martz, now offensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears (who are in its BYE WEEk thsi week) , is scheduled to introduce Bruce. About two dozen former Rams players, many of them from the Greatest Show on Turf teams, will be introduced on the field. Then Bruce's jersey No. 80 will be hoisted into the rafters at the dome. Also, the first 10,000 fans arriving Sunday receive an #80 Isaac Bruce lapel pin. (The dome doors open at 10:30 a.m.) After the game, all fans in attendance will receive a commemorative Isaac Bruce lithograph as they exit the stadium.Tickets remain available for the game and can be purchased at 314-RAMS-TIX or a stlouisrams.com
Prior to the Sunday event, Bruce also will host a private reception for his retirement at Luemiere Place Theater on Oct 29 (which is sold out--SEE EVENTZ BELOW) and on Saturday morning, Bruce will speak to the 2010 Rams squad.

In other Rams newz, the team lost in a last second play against the Bucs losing 18-17 against the Bucs in an away game last Sunday. Making them 3-4. The Rams next game will be back at home at the Edward Jones Dome against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
In related newz, speaking of the game Sunday, Rams running back Steven Jackson set the franchise rushing record breaking Eric Dickerson's all-time Rams rushing record. Jackson has topped the 100-yard mark in each of the last three games and his 617 rushing yards rank fourth in the NFL and second in the NFC behind Minnesota's Adrian Peterson (684). In his six seasons with the Rams, Jackson has 7,324 yards. But it was bittersweet for Jackson during his record breaker, for he broke his left ring finger (His second surgery this year following back surgery during the off season) during thatgame. As a result, he had surgery on it Monday. There was no info as of this blogging as to whether he would play in Sundays game against the Panthers.
UPDATE: The Belleville News Democrat reported Thursday that he will play in Sunday's game.

Guess its back to the drawing board with STL native and NBA star Larry Hughes who is looking for a 7th team to play on (in 12 years in the league). It was rumored that the , Miamai Heat was in talks with him to be signed before the start of the season this week but he, along with former Chicago Bullser Flip Murray(who is currently a free agent) were on a short alternatiev list after one of its star players Mike Miller left the team for the season with a thumb injury until January . The ball club eventually signed veteran Jerry Stackhouse, its first choice. In March, Hughes signed with the Charlotte Bobcats for the rest of their season last year.+++++++++++
The Illinois High School Association forced East St. Louis High to forfeit its first five games this season, thus removing the school from the state football playoffs after executive director Marty Hickman ruled Tuesday the school used an ineligible player. That player, 6-foot-4, 250-pound senior Charles Tigue, played in the five games while living in the Belleville East school district, according to the ruling - though he has never attended that school.
Tigue's father, Everett, has said his son had been living with a relative in Washington Park since 2007, Tigue's freshman season at East St. Louis.
The team also has to forfeit its 10 wins in 2009 for using Tigue. The ruling drops the Flyers' record from 9-0 to 4-5. East St. Louis was a No. 1 seed in the Class 7A lower bracket and had been scheduled to host No. 8 Belleville West at 1 p.m. this Saturday.
The question is, "Where is his resident listed as?" Living somewhere is one thing, having mail come to your house with your name on it is another.
UPDATE: It was reported that The East Side Flyer organization sued the ISHA this week and
A judge has issued a temporary restraining order that will allow the East St. Louis High School football team to play in Illinois' prep playoffs.
Thursday's ruling overrides the Illinois High School Association's ban of the Flyers from the playoffs that begin Friday because of an ineligible player. The judge felt the devision was not enough time for the team to react to the change with it being days away to the playoffs.
IHSA executive director Marty Hickman says his group could appeal the order as early as Thursday. The judge gave the IHSA until Friday to appeal.

Controversial radio personality JC Corcpran started his new afternoon show on The Big 550--KTRS AM this week.
On his first day, Monday, in his new 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. slot he explained to the listeners his thoughts about getting fired this time last year on the Classic Hits station 96 FM morning show. He said, “ I had a year off to do nothing. It was a shock. I didn’t know it was coming. It was disrespectful. So I was like, what am I gonna do. I had 15 months left on my contract and they was paying me until March 2011. Things could be worse. It was wonderful times with a whirlpool and the summer. Being in entertainment radio might be the lowest rung of the ladder but its part of the ladder. Kinda being in a race. But It didn’t feel right anymore. I coulda been just lounging. But I’m back on the air one day short of the year of the radio show was pulled. “ (PARAPHRASE)
Corcoran replaced former host of the spot, Charles Jaco. Corcoran was hired reportedly for the high ratings he could pull. Also, Corcoran, who have been on several stations in St. Louis since coming to STL in 1984, was fired Oct 2009 from the Classic Hits KIHT (96 FM) morning show along with his crew and was still under contract until the end of 2010.

This week, STL hip-hop journalist B Gyrl had an encounter with hip-hop groupie and Internet sensation Katt Stacks via Facebook and from it got some scoop on an altercation with STL rapper Nick Demio.
Here’s was B had to say on her site, http://www.stlhiphop.com/:
“With all the madness that's been goin down, mofos making death threats and losing their minds about not getting featured on Ali's mixtape (apparently a BIG bag of CHIPS with tha DIP), I COMPLETELY forgot Kat Stacks hit me up on Facebook, and ummmmmmmmmmmmmm, YES, THAT KAT STACKS.
At first I was like "yeah right", *Kat Stacks hitting me up with a friend request, for real?*... that is until I remembered the ongoing he said/she said between her and Nelly (with the last he said being something about her having mental issues after confronting her on the radio about an alledged ongoing affair... oh yeah, then the whole Kat Stacks vs Sidney Starr), then it became plausable, St. Louis is SO ON when it comes to who's sleeping with who drama (I know, I've been a victim of it), if only we could go platnium (sic) in that.
I decided to press my luck after approving her as a friend, hit her up to see if she'd be down with an interview to discuss her least favorite St. Louis rapper...and imagine my surprise when she was cool...not only agreeing to a forthcoming interview, but also dropping a dime about beef she has with another St. Louis rapper, Nick Demio.
Apparently she and Nick Demio were seated at the same table at an event in Miami chatting and drinking.... when Kat says "I said Fuck Nelly & St. Louis and this nigga poured a whole bottle of Rosay on me and spit in my face!"
Wow.
I'm like Really? Nick Demio? REALLY?
And she was like yes, "I thought everything was goin good, until I said that..lame azz!"
Wow.
Nick?
Well, we here at OUTTOWN contacted Nick Demio via Facebook on Wednesday about the allegation and here is what transpired: :
OUTTOWN: Hey fam just touching base. was checkin to see if that Kat Stacks incident was fabricated or a true? They got it all on stlhiphop. thanks .
Nick Demio : Its true.no biggie tho..small thing 2 a giant!.. Been traveling & politicing with ppl tryin to secure a recording deal and i was dwn in Miami, and bumped into her at a club, the broad dissed Nelly and St.louis to my face and i snapped and poured a bottle of Rosay on her..nothing serious..lmao .
OUTTOWN: damn. lol. she cudda pressed charges fam. .
Nick Demio: u rite..lol! sometimes we make quick choices that could cost us evrything..she kno what it is tho..i was caught in the moment, im so passionate about my city and the fact that we need to be on a bigger scale with this music, cuz it seems like we the last in this race..she will be alrite tho...lmao
All we can say is, just like B Gyrl…Wow. LOL

Why did Nelly’s third single “Move Your Body” fall off from the Hot 100 after debuting in the Top 60 last week? Why are the Crown Royal Gas Stations in downtown
