RELATED: Watch Sevyn Streeter Flawlessly Cover Whitney Houston’s ‘I Have Nothing’ RELATED: Sevyn Streeter ft Ty Dolla Sign & Cam Wallace “Fallen” [Audio] On sampling The Gap Band for “Yernin’”: “My Dad literally would play nothing but bomb ass old school music. That was our thing. He would get off from work and put this big camcorder … sit it on his shoulder and that was his thing. I would come downstairs and lip sync to all the oldies. It’s a different level of talent. I love the Gap Band, I don’t know anybody who doesn’t love the Gap Band. It wasn’t hard to get that sample, now they took a nice little chunk ( laughs ) but they deserve that chunk. I didn’t care if they wanted to take the whole pie, I just knew that sample needed to be on that record. I didn’t care, I was just happy they were gracious enough to let me sample it. I love them for that.” On the feel of the record: “I feel I had to get some things off my chest. I felt that it’s a lot of n*ggas I didn’t necessarily have to prove myself to but I had to remind them of some sh*t. I’m appreciative of being a singer-songwriter but it’s not easy. For me it’s like 2 PM, 3 PM to 6 AM 7 AM. I take it so seriously. I respect that craft and for me with this record, I feel there’s a lot of things and attitude that I needed n*ggas to understand. I’m not talking about men specifically but people I think were non-believers. Whether it be an ex in the past who got too comfortable and forgot how great you are or whether it was anything.” As far as dating? Sevyn says she’s in a relationship and is happy knowing that it’s not public! Watch the full interview up top and below.

‘The Game’ Actor Pooch Hall Arrested for DUI, Let 2-Year-Old Drive?

Marion “Pooch” Hall has a whole lot of explaining to do. The actor was arrested on Wednesday night (Oct 3) for DUI but the crazy part is the authorities say he also let his 2-year-old drive.  Hall, who currently appears in Ray Donovan , was spotted basically being the worst father imaginable. Reports TMZ : Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Hall, who plays Daryll, was driving in Burbank at around 7:30 PM when witnesses called 911 after seeing the toddler in his lap holding the steering wheel.  We’re told the witnesses were horrified to watch the car veer off and smash into a parked car. Thankfully, there were no injuries. One eyewitness tells us he saw the child crying in the front seat. The eyewitness says he looked in the window and the car seat was just laying among the junk in the back seat. It was not installed. We’re told when police came they smelled a strong odor of alcohol and Hall could barely walk. His blood alcohol level … .25 — more than 3 times the legal limit. Hall was arrested and held on $100,000 bond. As for the 2-year-old, he was released into his mother’s custody. Drunk at 7:30pm? Expect someone to be headed to rehab soon. — Photo: WENN.com

Wyoming Parents Accidentally Kill Teenage Son While Trying To Deter Him From Drinking Alcohol

Parents Give Son Alcohol Poisoning While Teaching Dangers Of Drinking Two Wyoming parents are locked up after their 16-year-old son passed away due to alcohol poisoning they themselves caused in an attempt to “teach him a lesson” about the dangers of drinking . Paulette and Joseph Richardson were each charged with involuntary manslaughter after encouraging Paulette’s son, Kendal Ball to down multiple shots of Fireball and Jack Daniels over the course of two hours before putting him to bed. They say that Kendal had been saying he wanted to drink for the last three years, so in an effort highlight the hazards of alcohol consumption, the couple aimed to allow the boy to drink enough to become sick so that he would see how undesirable the effects of drunkenness and hang-overs can be. Paulette reported to have checked on her son around 11 p.m. at which point he gave her a thumbs-up. When her husband checked on Kendel several hours later at 3:45 a.m., he was unresponsive. Paramedics found the boy with dark blue, cool skin. At his time of death, he had a blood alcohol content of .587 — nearly seven times the legal limit for drivers. SMH. We can understand what the parents were trying to do…but wow. There are even some veteran drinkers that could be easily taken down by multiple shots of hard, dark liquor taken over the course of 2 hours. NYDN

Nancy Grace, 2 Chainz Debate Marijuana Legalization in Amazing New Video

Nancy Grace seems to have a thing with goading famous stoners into debates. Last year, Seth Rogen famously called Grace a “f–king dumbass” after she blamed newly-legal weed for a brutal murder in the state of Colorado. Now, Grace is at it again – nonsensically linking the dumb actions of one stoner to the effects of his drug of choice. And this time the person calling her out is even more unexpected: 2 Chainz!! 2 Chainz, Nancy Grace Debate Yes, “Nancy Grace and 2 Chainz debate” is not a phrase we ever thought we’d hear, but we couldn’t be happier that this clip exists. There are three main takeaways from this video: Chainz’ cardigan game is on point. Hearing Grace say “Titty Boi” and “big, fat doobie” will never not be funny, and Grace might be the dumbest ever allowed on television. There’s no way she believes her own moronic argument, right? It’s probably best if we don’t know the answer to that. And did the words, “If you want to qualify for a home why don’t you just not get arrested?” really come out of her mouth? Sadly, we can imagine Grace (a former prosecutor) thinking that something should be illegal because one person who likes it did something awful. Nancy is really dumb, and really influential, and that makes us sad. So let’s get back to 2 Chainz whose awesomeness here has us grinning from ear to ear.  The highlight here is Chainz explaining to Grace that law enforcement relies on tax payer dollars. He folds that explanation into a story about being made to pose with police after being arrested on pot charges. The story effectively highlights just how ridiculous the “war on drugs” has become in this country, but Grace is having none of it. Chainz eventually beat his case in time to celebrate 4/20 at Coachella that year. More importantly, he’s free to engage in intelligent debate on our nation’s drug policy, whereas 20 or 30 years ago, he might’ve been imprisoned. Now, all Titty Boi needs is someone with a couple working brain cells to hold their own with him in conversation, because clearly Nancy’s not up to the task.  You tell us: Who won this debate? Chainz Grace View Poll » 20 Celebrities Who Love Weed 1. Snoop Dogg “You knowz mofo be rollin’ up summa dat dank ass sticky-icky-icky and gettin’ fizaded off the bubonic chronic right muthaf–kin’ now.” Uhhh, what Snoop said.

Carolyn Kesel Arrested For DWI After Getting WASTED on Vanilla Extract in N.Y. State

Carolyn Kesel, an upstate New York woman, was arrested on felony DWI charges after driving around a Walmart parking lot wasted on vanilla extract. PURE vanilla extract. Stuff will EFF you up! According to reports, Kesel had a very high BAC – a ridiculous .26 percent, or more than three times the legal limit – when Macedon, N.Y. police busted her. She had reportedly housed two bottles of vanilla extract, a common baking product that boasts a 41 percent alcohol level, putting it on par with most vodka. Kesel told officers she was lost and could not find her way out of the parking lot. Given her condition, and the sheer size of Walmart parking lots? Not shocking. Due to a prior DWI conviction stemming from a 2006 arrest, Kesel was arrested on the spot and also slapped with a felony aggravated DWI charge. Her odd choice of beverage, apparently, is not as odd as you might think. Chris Thomas, a drug counselor with the Wayne County (N.Y.) Mental Health Department, said it’s become not uncommon for people, especially teenagers. As Chris Rock once said, people wanna get high. Take away all the drugs and drinks in the world and … people will just find new ways of getting a buzz on. It makes sense if you think about it. Those who aren’t of legal drinking age can purchase and get plowed by indulging in everyday items like vanilla extract. Like the pre-Walter White days when you could buy Sudafed over the counter, no one will be the wiser when you pick up a couple at the local grocer. “Both kids and adults use it,” he said of the “drink’s” increasing popularity. “It smells like a vanilla [beverage] and no one would know the difference.” Well, unless you down two whole bottles of the stuff and drive around aimlessly. Way to ruin it for teens everywhere before they even thought of this, Carolyn. Strange But True News Hall of Fame 1. Jasmine Tridevil: Florida Woman Gets Third Breast to Become “Unattractive to Men” (And Land Reality Show) Jasmine Tridevil is a Florida woman who had a third breast surgically implanted between her other two. She says she hopes to land an MTV reality show.

White Rich Privilege: 16-Year-Old Teen Gets NO Prison Time After Killing Four People In Drunk Driving Crash

The joys of being white and rich … Teen Gets Probation For Killing Four People In Drunk Driving Accident Via HuffPo reports: A 16-year-old avoided spending time in prison for killing four people in a car accident in June after the judge bought his lawyers’ argument that he was the victim of wealth. CBSDFW reports that Ethan Couch was sentenced to 10 years probation for the drunk driving crash that ended the lives of youth pastor, Brian Jennings; Hollie and Shelby Boyles; and Breanna Mitchell. Prosecutors asked that Couch serve 20 years in prison. His blood alcohol level was .24, three times the legal limit for an adult. Psychologist G. Dick Miller testified for the defense that Couch suffered from “affluenza,” a condition in which “his family felt that wealth bought privilege and there was no rational link between behavior and consequences,” KHOU reported. Miller said Couch’s parents never punished him for his behavior, even when, in a separate incident, cops found him passed out in a car with a naked 14-year-old girl. As part of his sentence, Couch will be sent to a private counseling center that costs $450,000, which will be paid for by his father. Money and privilege has helped defendants avoid serious prison time for violent crimes before. In a particularly clear example, cited by journalist Glenn Greenwald, hedge fund manager Martin Joel Erzinger served just 90 days in jail after driving the car that seriously injured a bicyclist and fled the scene of the accident in 2010. The district attorney in the case charged Erzlinger with two misdemeanors instead of a felony, noting that “felony convictions have some pretty serious job implications for someone in Mr. Erzinger’s profession.” How many young black men are sitting in jail for years if not decades for far less?

Montana Woman Too Drunk to Get Out of Car, Calls 911

A Billings, Montana woman was charged with felony DUI after becoming so intoxicated that she had to call 911 to get out of the car, the Billings Gazette reports. Maybe a sign you shouldn’t be driving. Maybe. Carol Frances Omeara, 55, made an initial appearance in Yellowstone County Justice Court Wednesday. She remained jailed as of Thursday on $3,000 bond. Omeara was arrested Tuesday after a 911 call in which she said she couldn’t get out of her vehicle. The dispatcher asked if she was having medical or mechanical issues. Court records indicate the caller replied she was too drunk, and she wasn’t kidding. Prosecutors say Omeara’s blood-alcohol level was 0.311 percent. Point three-one-one percent! That’s 3-4 times the legal limit at which a driver is considered legally intoxicated. Sadly but not surprisingly, records say Omeara has three previous DUIs.
