“How many of you would commit a crime if you knew I was in jail wink!!” asked Rosa Acosta yesterday on her official website.

The work to which she was referring, is a video shoot she did that produced some of the most stunning mugshots you will ever see.

If the timeline seems a little off, you’ve been paying attention to everything Rosa Acosta. There isn’t enough information on her site to determine how long ago she actually did the shoot, so if leaves the mind to wonder whether she did the shoot prior to chopping her ‘do or just sported a wig.

In either scenario, she’s standing there in a 1 piece stretching her right leg upward 6′ in the air.

On second thought… FUCK her hair!

If you can’t get it out of your mind that there’s a gaping hole right below Nicki Minaj’s nose, it’ll be hard. But we have faith in you!

However, if you’re able to look at the thing objectively, it’s easy to see why this chick is a target.

This whole getup is anything but original and stunts like this have most calling her a knockoff Lady Gaga, in addition to the obvious Lil Kim influence.

Sad to think artists today have to resort to this kind of behavior to be recognized and achieve the stardom they think they deserve. Now maybe, just maybe, there was a shortage of female artists to borrow from when Lil Kim and Foxy Brown arrived. Maybe they were compared to Salt ‘n Pepa… (continue reading…)

Publicity is good even when it’s bad and Erykah Badu’s most recent expression of freedom earned a lion’s share of it on either end.

For what it’s worth, Badu’s stunt has worked out to her advantage, while offering red blooded males from coast to coast and country to country, the chance to see why she had 3000 so screwed up.

Baby is thick, in no uncertain terms. A little knee fat here and there, but who’s being picky?

VIBE certainly isn’t, as the urban culture giant is using an unclad Badu to grace its June 2010 issue.

Don’t expect Toni B or Ciara though.

The inevitable return of the old school classic NBA Jams is nearer and screenshots have emerged. The newer version will be exclusive to Nintendo Wii at the onset of its re-introduction.

Unsurprisingly, the characters are more developed. The functionality is more advanced and the graphics are tighter. The game, however, is said to play very similar to the original, inclusive of the bigheads and unworldly hops.

Also, each player will have a total of five facial expressions.

This game just may unseat bowling as the unprecedented favorite among retired jocks.

These magazine droughts just ain’t what they used to be. Seems like The SOURCE paved the way for both the disastrous fall and the ever precious triumphant return.

KING is the latest urban pubs to conquer the economy’s downtrodden climate and in its first issue back on stands, you will find the new dime of the moment, Rosa Acosta.

Rosa’s an interesting choice. A hit or miss on most blogs and boards, but the sex appeal is definitely there. Surely they could have chosen someone else, but it will work for most red blooded American males… and International ones too!
