In a society where the AIDS epidemic is running rampant in our communities, one night of bumpin’ n grindin’ without wrapping it up can seriously do some major damage. It’s pretty evident that Trojan condoms are a “big” hit with black men, so they’ve tapped ATL rapper Ludacris to be part of their “Magnum Live Large” campaign. Luda along with other safe sex advocates will be judging the company’s “Live Large” contest–where the lucky winner will win $5,000 for penning ill lyrics promoting Magnum condoms. Not only will the winner score some serious bread, they’ll also win tickets to Atlanta’s yearly Hot 107.9 Birth Bash and hit the stage with Luda at one of his shows.

There’s definitely nothing wrong with a lil’ bump and grind especially when you’re doing it right! In a society where STD’s and HIV/AIDS is rampant, the folks over at New York City’s Health Department want to make sure that if you’re going to get busy at least wrap it up. In December 2009, the city’s Health Department launched a contest to redesign the wrapper of its N.Y.C condom brand. Out of 600 entries the city has narrowed it down to five finalists, and now New Yorkers can get involved by voting for their favorite condom wrapper on www.nyc.gov/health or on Facebook. The winning design will be announced on February 28^th and will be the face of thousands of free condoms that are handed out throughout the city. According to the Health Department, NYC has handed out 119 million condoms since 2007, including 41.5 million last year! Wow, that’s a lot of condoms!

Health Commissioner Thomas Farley hopes that the contest will promote HIV/AIDS awareness and encourage New Yorkers to wrap it up. “We still face an epidemic of HIV/AIDS and high rates of other sexually transmitted diseases,” said Farley. “When used correctly and consistently, condoms can prevent these infections as well as intended pregnancies.”

There’s no excuse not to use a condom especially when they’re FREE!

Whatever happened to the female voice in Hip-hop?! It’s bad enough that the Hip-hop genre is a joke, but what’s worse is the drought of female MC’s. And for that very same reason, femcee pioneer Queen Latifah is on a mission to find the next biggest thing in Hip-hop since Lil’ Kim and Foxy Brown! Thus, the Queen is embarking on a nationwide search for new talent—because quite frankly there aren’t enough chicks in the game. She says,

“In my entire career… never has it been so male dominated as it is right now. I would be doing an injustice if I don’t try to help bring up the next up-and-coming female rappers… It’s just not right to have hip-hop with no female voices anymore.”

She adds,

“There was (M.C.) Lyte, Salt-N-Pepa, Lil’ Kim, Foxy Brown, Missy (Elliot)… Eve, and now there’s like one person, maybe. So far I have 25 dates booked, 25 different cities, and so I want to discover the new female rapper or the new female rap group.”
