The Atlanta police department are investigating two Molotov cocktails that were left in front of the building.

Ludacris & T.I. help out Atlanta flood victims

flood

While Atlanta suffers from major flooding, two big name rappers have come to the rescue.

Hometown boys T.I. and Ludacris have both donated $10,000 to help with the $61 million in damages and 500 wrecked homes.

So far 10 people have been killed by the natural disaster, which hit both Georgia and Alabama.

The Ludacris Foundation has teamed up with Home Depot and Sam’s Club to begin a food bank and giveaway gift cards to help victims of the flood.

Of course, T.I. is still in jail at this point, but it’s nice to see incarceration hasn’t stopped him from being a good Samaritan.

T.I. Makes Music Video Trailer In Prison

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

Whether or not this was actually made while the dude is serving time, I’m sure we’re all glad there aren’t any “Shawshank Redemption” references in it. Or not; I really loved that movie.

But what I don’t get is why artists are insisting on making one-minute trailers for five-minute videos. What the hell, music guys? Stop wasting my valuable time!

News for Tuesday: The Merch Booth Edition

* If you, like so many others, can’t get enough Kanye West, why not pick up his new book of Kanye-isms? It’s even designed for “people who are non-readers”. How considerate!

* And since you’re out at the store anyway, can you pick me up a Weezer Snuggie, I mean a Wuggie?

* Sure to go down in musical history, the Beastie Boys have named their new upcoming album Hot Sauce Committee. With a name like that, how could it not be good?

* Check out this picture of Speidi doing some python-wrestling. I think the snake is probably more afraid than they are!

* Finally, rapper T.I married his long-time fiancee this weekend - just before starting his year-long prison sentence. Adorable, or convenient timing?
