Rapper Gains Fame By Not Winning VH1 Contest

The Courier-Post profiles a rapper who’s doing a show at Rowan. The lead:

When we last left Michael “Neuse” Bozzuffi a year ago, he was slumped over on a couch, surrounded by friends. They helped ease his pain after he watched on live TV to find out he wasn’t going to be crowned the VH1 freestyle hip-hop king.

Wait, really? I mean, I could see being upset you didn’t win the cash prize, but wouldn’t winning the VH1 freestyle hip-hop contest actually hurt your rap career? Just a thought.

Oh, yeah, the comments on the post are pure comedy gold, as apparently holding a hip hop concert shortly after a murder on campus is evil and caving in to the Islamofascists or whatever.

Leftovers: US Airways Delays Luggage At PHL; In Other News, The Earth Revolves Around The Sun

• In a shocker, luggage was delayed at the airport! And the passengers were pissed! And then a fight ensued! Ahh, just another day at Philadelphia International Airport. [Inquirer]

• NB to drunk drivers: If you managed to get all the way to your house without crashing, try not to run into your garage. And, if you do run into your garage, probably best not to call the cops on yourself. [Bucks County Courier Times]

• The Philadelphia MLS team will apparently never be. Or, rather, the Gloucester/Philly MLS team. Or something. Basically, what we’re trying to say here is Rowan had its funding cut and the soccer stadium the college was going to build is not going to happen. On the upside, this means more emails from those guys at phillysoccer.com. [Inquirer]

• Some people are looking to buy the Sixers for as much as $450 million. Do you think that they’d like to invest in Philadelphia Will Do? If the 76ers could fetch almost a half billion dollars, I think this blog’s worth at least $100 mil. [Inky]

• An update: When Philly Future gets bought, we all cash in! I’m gonna start putting in the pool now. [Philly Future]
