What Happens In Las Vegas, Goes On Twitter.

“Yo I'm at [club] Rehab in Vegas.. T-Pain is DJ'ing. Sayin Fuck Jay Z, he old, blah blah.. guess its backlash from D.O.A..”-Fabolous via Twitter, 9/05

Damn. Fabolous is in this club last Saturday, undoubtedly surrounded by all types of females, even a choice selection of guys if he likes sausage with his eggs, & THIS is what he chooses to lay on his followers? I'm not the most "out-there" dude, & I'm not all in the streets with mine, but if I were, I don't think I'd be reporting on the movements &/or goings-on of another guy with my transmitter. I'd probably be sneaking up-skit pictures & posting them on Myspace & Facebook. Like a real man.

This smells like Perez Hilton to me. Not shis perfume, but shis feminine antics that always land shim in the middle of pointless bullshit, just to stay in people's mouths (no pun intended)(okay, maybe a little bit).

Anybody who hasn't been under a rock for the last 3 or so years knows about Twitter. If you have been sleeping beneath a boulder, It's like a global text message. However pointless, it's extremely popular among folks who swear that they are so important that their every thought is worth yelling off of the proverbial mountain top. It's also a great way to notify strangers of your whereabouts, but that's for another day.

“Yo the DJ is doin a Jay-Z set.. D.O.A., kingdom come, run this town, heart of the city, h to the izzo, amillie free..T-Pain somewhere in here,”-Fabolous via Twitter, 9/05

Was Fabolous purposely twitter-telling on T-Pain? I would say no, because this wasn't a formal, one-on-one cell phone call to Jay-Z's private steam room. This was more like the equivalent of one running to a group of people during breaktime & saying "Owwwwww, guess what y'all? Nevermind, don't guess, I'll tell you!". So, in essence, what he did do was dry-snitch the situation, like any good gossiper could. Except, unlike the handful of morons that would normally be gathered around a water cooler or lunch table, he digitally broadcasted it to the hundreds of people who consider Fab a celebrity. Who, in turn, will pass it on to the thousands of people who consider Jay-Z a god.

At the most, Jay-Z will dismiss T-Pain's remarks as jealous flails & shots at his upcoming album for publicity's sake. But, if Jay's not even responding to The Game, who's been calling him an "old faggot" on 3 different continents so far, then I highly doubt he'll go in on Robot Man. Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing Jigga slap that porch-monkey ass top hat off of those dingy dreadlocks, but for the record, T-Pain looks like he would beat Jay up. Tae-bo or none. & at the least, Fabolous was attempting to get a few more record sales before the public forgets his last record ever came out. Personally, I would've gone a more masculine route (like jumping on stage & yelling "Fuck you T-Punk, nigga this Brooklyn!!), as opposed to spreading rumors, but Loso stopped being "gangsta" in 2003. &, sometimes I forget that this is the era of the emo-thug; bad attitudes & testosterone have been replaced with denim leatards & livestreamed slap-boxing matches. If I'm not mistaken, Fab was wearing skinny jeans way before your favorite rapper was. He's trendy like that.

I can't see the future, but I expect very soon that entertainers will begin moonlighting as celebrity gossip bloggers. How much more up-close & personal can one get to Mariah Carey than in the bathroom stall next to her? & there's literally hundreds of people who would love to know how stank Kristoff St. John's farts are. I don't know any personally, but I'm not a people person to begin with, so that's not saying much. TMZ created a whole other culture with their kamikazee paparazzi, so it's only right that it's now taken to the next level. Twitter is Pandora's Box, folks. If you don't get that, read a book.

Celebrity-on-celebrity twitter-telling is on the move, y'all. Famous people officially have no one left to trust.

It has to be obvious, homie wants a spot on that World tour !! Maybe he was just looking out for Brooklyn being he was in the building, seems to be the way he was portrarying those messages. He seemed to be annoyed of all people !!

@C75B

Word. Annoyed sounds about right. Like he shouldve started his post with "ugh..." & ended it with "pshhhhhhht..."

Whatever happened to just talking to man personally (jay or Pain) or just mind your business. Leave that Twitter shit to the young rappers and females !! That was just corny.

Twitter is the internets version of a person's stream of conscious so Fab's comments don't surprise me. People seem to forget that people are plugged into them and they say all kinds of random shit that they normally wouldn't say aloud. It probably took fab a minute before he realized what he put out there. Dude might've even been drunk.



Oh, lmao @ "shim" I will be using that!

The 2009 way of putting someone on blast. Thank heavens for cellphones, huh?

And they say those using a keyboard are geeks...

"Thank heavens for cellphones, right?"

How about your boy Clinton Portis, who took a side dish to the telly, where she walked into the bathroom, took a cellphone pic of them both partially dressed, & sent it out for the world to see.....

Isn't dude married?

Nice drop, Grand$... I think you talking me in that for EX... I'm on it...

Fab really need to mind his own business though... Who the fuck cares about what T-Pain is doing? Oh, my bad. Everybody on Twitter.
