This summer’s been big for rappers and sneakers. Fabolous got his own Reeboks and Fat Joe got whatever brand his “Recession” sneakers are dropping on. But no one has really gone in (at least on twitter) like Jim Jones has.
When we talked to Capo recently, he said he was going to rock a new pair of sneakers every day of the summer, and post a photo of them on his Twitter using Twitpic. Although he hasn’t been 100 percent consistent, his sporadic kick posts have Jimmy slowly approaching 1 million followers (he’s currently at 996,387). Since it would be a pain in the balls for you to search for all of Jimmy’s kicks, including the ones where he was “too high to remember to attach the picture,” we decided to compile all of his “Splash Pics” into one handy post. Check his fresh and his hilarious commentary from the twits after the jump….

Ron Artest gives you that funk, that tweet, that nasty, that gushy stuff.
Not everybody’s fit to twit, nitwits. If not a damn person on this earth has ever wondered what’s rollin’ around in your head, chances are you don’t need to fill us in. And if you are gonna share your every move and thought with the world, you and they had better be absolutely fucking fascinating, like Ron Artest, who we are now crowning the undisputed Twitter King after reading his updates from the last week.
Long before tweets, the NBA bad boy perplexed people by applying for a Circuit City job to get the employee discount, brawling with fans in Detroit, and starting a second career as a rapper just because he loves to rap. Most athletes regurgitate carefully rehearsed clichés, especially after they join a polished team like the Los Angeles Lakers, as Ron-Ron did this summer, but you can only expect the unexpected from QB’s finest, especially now that he can take you inside his mind, 140 uncut raw characters at a time. If you’re not following the man, you should be. For proof, just check out Ron-Ron’s 10 best tweets. He’ll show you how to do this, son!

Yesterday the news broke that Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush have broken up. We really don’t need to remind you that we ride for Kimmy K, and while we’re sad that her two-year relationship has come to an end, we can’t say we didn’t see it coming.
You see, nobody knows Kimmy like us (you could say that we’ve been with her through thick and thin). So while the rest of the world was following her on Twitter and thinking everything was rosy with her and her boo, we knew their love was in trouble a month ago. Read on, as we examine some recent Twitter updates and guess what was really going on in her head…

Chad “Please Don’t Call Me Mr. Johnson” OchoCinco is back at it again. This time the Bengals receiver released two photos—via Twitter, of course—of what were thought to be two tattoos on his face. On his left cheek (pause) was the state of Florida, and on the right cheek (pause) he had two crosses. Turns out, though, that Carson Palmer’s favorite ball-catcher was just trying to Ashton Kutcher the media, as retaliation for the way he thinks they treat him. Only problem was that homie’s stunt got about as much buzz as a nun’s vibrator.
But after seeing O.C. punk out of putting his face under the needle, we thought it would be a good time to salute those who have been brave enough to take some pricks to the grill. We aren’t really too sure what the story is behind all these tattoos, but they’re all worth a double-take when you see them in the streets…

Oh, but the internet was on fire last week. First Eminem’s Relapse leaked, then Nick Carey Cannon caught feelings about some of Em’s lyrics about Mariah Carey. On the track “Bagpipes from Baghdad,” Marshall goes in on his alleged ex-jumpoff and her present husband:
…Mariah whatever happened to us? Why did we have to break up?/All I asked for was a glass of punch!/You see I never really asked for much/I can’t imagine what’s going through your mind after such/A nasty break-up with that Latin hunk/Luis Miguel—Nick Cannon better back the fuck/Up, I’m not playin’, I want her back, you punk/This is Hello Kitty bedspread satin funk/Mixed with egyptian with a little rap and punk/Zapp and Eric Clapton, Shaft, Frank Zappa, crunk/And yeah baby i want another crack at ya/You can beat me with any spatula that you want/I mean I really want you bad, you c*nt/Nick you had your fun, i’ve come to kick you in your sack of junk/Man I could use a fresh batch of blood/So prepare your vernacular for Dracula acupunct…
Not even that harsh, especially in comparison to the psychosexual gorefest that is much of Relapse. Regardless, though, Nick blacked out on his blog, coming out of pocket with all kinds of threats (physical and otherwise) toward Em, even going so far as to compare Mariah to Michelle Obama and Oprah. (Even though he pulled the post in a matter of hours, you can still read it plenty of places, including here.) And that’s all we’ve heard of it so far…UNTIL NOW! See, when you have two celebrities on Twitter, chances are shit’s gonna boil over. And boil over it did. Thankfully, we follow all the parties involved, so we were able to record the whole confrontation as it went down.* Don’t say we never did anything for you…

Twitter can be great, it’s true. Whether you’re a Senator talking policy during a State of the Union speech or a candy company just trying to regain some buzz, it’s a networking tool par excellence.
Sometimes, though, the banality can get a bit much. Like, say, when you decide to tell your fans that you’re joining Jay Electronica in a “spiritual fast” that requires you to drink only “natural juices” for 48 hours. We’ll give Puff props for putting himself out there, but we realize that not all of you are following him on Twitter, so we decided to break down the colossally significant event for you*, our loyal readers…
