The Dirty Dirty For September 22, 2010

The Dirty Laundry




TI & Tiny's Prison Childcare


The average parent has trouble finding a babysitter for the night, so it should be interesting to see if TI and Tiny are able to find childcare just in case they end up in prison!

Even though I like Fat Joe, I almost died laughing after I watched 50 Cent's latest video clowning his album sales.
