From Hip-Hop Blog:
Terrane Hicks, the man performing Jay-Z and Kanye’s hit “N***as In Paris” on the NYC subway in what has become the season’s biggest YouTube hit, shared his reaction to his newfound celebrity in an interview with Miss Info. Hicks is a personal trainer and martial artist and claims he was sober when he performed the song impromptu for bewildered passengers.
“Well, everyone I know keeps calling me and hysterically laughing. I love it. Love the excitement and I’m actually going to try to take this somewhere! … I was born and raised in Harlem, recently moved to Brooklyn. I’m a martial artist and I own a personal training company called Skye Fitness. [Was I drunk?] No, actually I was totally sober. I am like this all the time. I’m just a hype person. … No, I don’t normally rap out loud but that’s one of those songs that gets you hype! I really didn’t care what the other riders thought. That’s that song!!! And yes, I was definitely trying to entertain my fellow commuters.”
And it will be titled The Sports Rap. On another note, I’ve apparently overlooked the Sports Corner series he’s been doing with Derick G……you can check those out here.

No comment. Meanwhile, over at JUKEBOX:DC, we’re just trying to push Hip-Hop on this platform. Because we’re real Hip-Hop fans. No clue on what sparked this tirade, though.
‘Cause, you know…..who cares. Oh right, she does:
Last night in NYC, it was Ladies Night NYC’s Webster Hall and Wale was in the building for the evening. Courtesy of JiGzNYC.
X-Factor is basically up there with American Idol at this point, isn’t it?
From TMZ (which shows a additional video of the destruction that took place):
Rapper Tyler the Creator was arrested in Hollywood a few hours ago after he allegedly trashed some sound equipment inside the world famous Roxy on Sunset Blvd … TMZ has learned.
The 20-year-old MTV award winner had performed at the venue earlier in the evening. The video below shows Tyler appearing to go off on the sound engineer inside the club.
We’re told cops were called by Roxy staff around 11:30 PM … and Tyler was taken into custody in front of his mother … who was visibly upset and yelled at the cops.
Tyler was arrested on suspicion of vandalism and was taken to a nearby station to be booked.
The West Hollywood Sheriff’s Dept. tells TMZ … security staff had contacted deputies last night to report Tyler had “just destroyed an electric soundboard belonging to the venue.”
Cops say, “As [Tyler] was being escorted to a nearby radio car, the crowd exiting the venue became angry and rushed into the street, towards deputies.”
Cops called for backup and closed down Sunset Blvd for 30 minutes to regain control of the situation. Eventually the crowd dispersed and no one was injured.
