FIVE MINUTES WITH… NECRO
May 27th

Last time Brooklyn rapper and owner of Psycho Logical Records Necro came to Australia; things got a little buck wild. He dishes the goss to Crumpet on the craziest things he has done with his infamous MySpace girls…
“I could name up a list of crazy shit. Okay whatever comes to mind. I noticed a lot of girls that I meet have sliced up arms from self-mutilation. That’s one thing I noticed, a custom thing. Girls that are attracted to me are lunatics because I attract sick fucks. These are girls that have mental problems.”
“I was in Switzerland and I was having sex with a girl in the bathroom and she fainted in the middle of me having sex from whatever drug she was on. Me because I’m a scum bag, I don’t think I did anything wrong, but I say scumbag because I would be considered an arsehole by other people but in my world I think I have a right, so you know, I already had my dick out and I’m already worked up and I’m hard already, so while she passed out on the floor like that I busted my nut on her head. I came on her head. I figured I had it coming to me, it was rude – what she did was rude she shouldn’t have go that high. I even took it another step so I help her up and bring her back up after I came in her hair and I told the tour manager that was outside, ‘Come inside! Come inside! This girl blah blah blah, here grab her by her hair’, and he puts his hand on her hair where all the cum is. He was like, ‘What the fuck is all this?’, hmm there’s been all different types of shit.”
“I had my first foursome at a show in Toronto. The first time I did a tour in Toronto I had three girls at one time. I don’t really care for a foursome to be honest. Like two girls is enough for me. I can handle three but you know it’s kind of a lot of work and you can’t really focus on a specific girl. It kind of looks good on camera in movies but in real life, doing three girls at once, it’s okay. I prefer two really hot ones than three mediocre ones. Actually probably I’d rather one really super, super hot girl over even two. Then I can focus on her.”
er… stud or dud?

drink-o-the-mo…
May 22nd

What looks like ladies perfume is actually vodka. And that vodka is called Nuvo, hip hop’s current drink of choice. Forget Cristal or Chandon. Not even Belvedere or Grey Goose cuts it.
It’s all about the fruity, pinky French sparkling wine made up of Chardonnay with a splash o Pinot Noir and blended with vodka (made from the finest grains of course).
Luda, DJ Khaled, Jadakiss, T-Pain and Lil Kim can’t get enough of the alcoholic pink stuff.
kiss and make up

I’m sure we were all ecstatic to hear of the Pharcyde reunion for last year’s Rock the Bells festival amongst others.…(damn I missed’em this time round in OZ). And we would be even more ecstatic to hear if they will remain together and even drop a new album?….wipe that drool of ya face and check LA times interview to get the latest.

crumpet can’t wait for the… NOTORIOUS B.I.G. CLOTHING LINE TO LAUNCH
May 20th

yup that’s right. Even from the grave, our fave rapper [rip] has managed to create his Brooklyn Mint clothing line. And we couldn’t be happier. With the help of bggie’s mumma of course. Legend has it, Biggie started the clothing line in 1996, but passed before getting a chance to launch it. So Violetta to the rescue! The street wear will consist of t-shirts inspired by lifestyle, culture and diversity.
Wherrrd.
