Special "White people in hip hop" edition: Posh Spice not getting gully after all and is this the next Marshall Mathers?
According to an article ("Posh dumps Dash to save her marriage" by Rav Singh & Polly Graham) in the UK tabloid News Of the World , Posh Spice from the Spice Girls has dropped her plans to record a hip hop album (I'm guessing she was trying to be a Brit Mary J Blige or Ashanti and not actually trying to rap... I hope):
And speaking of white people in hip hop, check this video out. Wow, this is why some white people will never get hip hop no matter how much they listen to it. I hope this is a joke and not a sign of things to come because, if not, Marshall Mathers, as dope as he is, will have a LOT to answer for....

VICTORIA BECKHAM has ditched her hip-hop career before it even started in a bid to save her marriage, we can exclusively reveal.This is actually probably better news for Roc-a-fella than Beckham because this was probably one of the worst ideas for a musical collaboration I have ever heard.
Posh has told husband DAVID BECKHAM she has canned her £3 million collaboration with DAMON DASH and is going back to pop.
More importantly, it means that rather than spending half her life in New York, where she has been working with Dash, she will have more time with Becks in Madrid.
The News of the World revealed three weeks ago that the couple's marriage was in crisis because of the amount of time they spent apart.
A well-placed source in the Beckham camp told us: "This will mean Victoria doesn't have to keep flying to New York all the time.
"She's making a real go of their marriage and this will definitely help fill the cracks that were beginning to show."
David isn't the only one delighted with the decision.
Victoria's manager SIMON FULLER never backed her bid to make it in hip-hop. Our insider said: "Fuller is pleased that Damon is out of the picture.
"He never liked the idea of a hip-hop album. It was a huge risk.
" Posh was one of the world's biggest-selling artists with the Spice Girls and had a huge pop following. Fuller wants to capitalise on that.
"This is her last chance to make it as a solo artist so it has to be done right.
"She can do it again but Fuller holds the key for her comeback plan.
Bully
"He's in contact with the best songwriters in the world because of Pop Idol, which is his show. If she listens to him there is no reason why she can't make it again."
Pop svengali Fuller was furious that Dash threatened to sue Posh's label Telstar for money he says he is owed for recording her hip-hop tracks.
The source added: "Dash has shown what he can be like by falling out with everyone connected to Victoria. She's embarrassed by the whole thing.
"Damon has a bit of a reputation as a bully in the US and has tried doing that over here, which hasn't worked."
MC Posh RIP.
