My Top 5 Rappers Who Enjoy Fine Cigars!
Apr 27th
Cigars have long been known as a luxury to be enjoyed and puffed upon while one relaxes and unwinds. Nobody likes to relax and luxuriate like some of hip hops top rap artists. I’ve compiled a list of five of my favorite rappers who indulge in the smoking of fine cigars. Check it out and let me know in the comments who you’d most like to smoke a cigar with! Did I miss a legendary cigar smoker on my list? Let me know that in the comments below too!

#5 – Fat Joe
While I’m not a huge fan of his latest hit with Chris Brown I’d still share a cigar with Joe though to be honest I’m sure I’d just be asking questions about Big Pun the whole time.
#4 – Lil Wayne
Wayne is a known smoker so it should come as no surprise that he on this list. He’s the type of dude that knows how to have a good time just look at how happy he is smoking that cigar in the picture above. My dude is having a ball!
#3 – Kanye West
Kanye is probably the smoker with the most swag in this entire list, with that being said I wonder what kind of cigars he’s into. I would think if there is a cigar out there that is more fashionable than the rest he would know of it!
#2 – Diddy
Who wouldn’t want to puff with Puff Daddy himself? Though his name has changed quite a few times since his early days in hip hop his love of cigars remains tried and true.
#1 – Jay-Z
It may come as a shock to many people that I’m not the biggest fan of Jay but after spending some times in NYC my mind has changed and after all Jay-z is well known as a cigar afficianado and he probably gave out really awesome cigars when his daughter Blue Ivy arrived in this world.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Express for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
They say you shouldn’t dress for the job you have instead you should dress for the job you want. Which is why working the work place in an Express Business Suit can help you put your best foot forward each day you wear it with pride.
This suit Studio suit for example says, not only do I get to work on time, I can make the schedule! The neutral gray tone means it can be worn with virtually any color or print and still look very sophisticated at work. The modern fit of the jacket and pant means that each piece can be worn separately and still look chic which key in keeping a healthy work wardrobe.
A suit such as the one above gives an air dignity with the fine pinstripe alone. It will tell your employers you are responsible with classic ideals all at the same time. I don’t think I have to mention how the ladies in the office will feel if you start wearing a suit more often. It goes without saying that all women love a man in a well tailored look, it just exudes confidence!
Let Express help you get to the next level of your image and your business with a new suit. You can even enter the Express sweepstakes on their facebook page for a chance to win $500 towards a suiting makeover!

MUST SEE – New series on FX Untitled Jersey City Project
Oct 3rd
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Untitled Jersey City Project for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
Jersey City is a being built on the banks just beyond the glittering Hudson river but just as the saying goes all that glitters is not gold. What lies beneath towering glass structures are secrets, lies and shady investors. Right now this series remains untitled and the story line is a work in progress that is currently being developed. Below is a sneak peak video of what is in store on the Untitled Jersey City Project.
From the looks of this preview I can definitely say I will be hooked on this show. I am interested to find out more about the relationship that is forming between Jane the reporter and Frank the architect. It seems kind of foolish to me to have an affair with someone who can ruin your entire reputation with one story but I will have to just wait and see what happens next. There are a lot of hidden secrets in this show and that is one of the things I am most looking forward to uncovering as the story unfolds. Just what is everyone hiding? I must know! Do you have a name suggestion for the Untitled Jersey City Project? What are your thoughts on the actors and the concept? Let me know in the comments below! You tell me your theory on whats going on and I’ll tell you mine!

Less harmful chemicals with green cleaning
Jun 2nd
Guest post written by Rose Pointers
I worry a lot about what my family members and I put into our bodies. I try to make sure that they eat healthily, but I didn’t really think about until a few weeks ago that some residue left behind by strong household cleaners might also be harmful to my family members. So I decided to go green with my cleaning materials too.
I’ve learned quite a bit about being green in our household over the past few years, but I haven’t done anything about cleaning with green materials until now. I thought the best way to learn about this would be to just look online for information. While I was online looking that up, I founds some information about energy suppliers in Texas on www.texaselectricityproviders.com. I read through ti some and after that I decdied to sign up for on eof the energy savings plans I found online with that information.
I found a pretty good list online of the different cleaning materials from just around your house and what you can use them to clean, which is really going to come in handy.

Apr 20th
There is folks in plain tweet, fashion designer Tory Burch who is mostly known for her preppy style and iconic flats that basically everyone was wearing 2 years or so ago, listens to Tupac! An she doesn’t just like him she couldn’t love his music more. How sweet is that? It just goes to show you can’t judge a designer’s personal taste by the look of her collection.

Antoina “Toya” Carter is a woman of many talents, she is a producer on her own reality show “Toya Carter: A Family Affair”, is the buyer at her own boutique in New Orleans, founder of a non profit organization that she hopes to take nationwide and the author of a new book called “Priceless Inspirations” aimed towards teenage girls in need of guidance. While many have tried to stereotype her as another one of Lil Wayne’s ex’s, she is determined to show the world that she is much more than a rappers former wife. Yesterday afternoon I spoke with Toya about everything from her new boutique, personal style, her efforts to help young women and her future in reality television.

Toya Carter: I would say my style is edgy. I’m a nice top and jeans kind of girl, nice fitted dresses and sandals.
HHF: I heard you just opened your own boutique, what is it called and where is it?
TC: My boutique is called Garb, it is located in New Orleans, Louisiana. I am the buyer for Garb and I also have a special section in store called “Toya’s Closet” that is stocked with designer clothing, bags and shoes that I have worn before. Garb is very Chic!
HHF: That is awesome! I read that in your new book priceless inspirations you are giving advice to teenage girls, is there one peice of advice that you think all young women should know?
TC: I would tell them to work extremely hard toward their goals and never let anyone tell them what they can’t or steal their joy. Know your weaknesses as well as their strengths.
HHF: Can you tell me a little more about your non profit organization?
TC: My non-profit is called “Visual Beauty” We help young women find their own inner beauty and self worth. We recently helped our girls with prom. I took care of everything from hair and make up to transportation for them so that they could enjoy themselves.
HHF: That is so great! Do you work mostly with girls in New Orleans or are you nationwide?
TC: Right now we work in the New Orleans area and Atlanta but would love to go nationwide. I have some events coming up this summer that will happen in the New Orleans Area but we are hoping to take them from city to city.
HHF: That is really exciting! Don’t forget to keep ups posted on HipHopcube.com so that we can support you in all that you do in the future.
TC: Of course!
HHF: You have so much on your plate right now with a new store an community involvement and your new reality show “Toya Carter: A Family Affair” which airs tonight on BET. Can we expect to see more reality tv from you in the future?
TC: I don’t know hopefully I can get behind the scenes more. I produce on my current show but would like to produce more shows in the future that I am not on.
HHF: Sounds like a plan to me. Here at Hiphopcube.com we have a signature question we ask in every interview and that is: Alive or dead who are your top 3 favorite rappers of all time?
TC: I would say Tupac, Lil Wayne and *long pause* Jay-z.
