In last weeks’ “WoooHa Poll of the Week” we asked 100 WoooHa readers “How much longer will Twitter be the hot thing in hip-hop? The results came back as follows:

So 72% think Twitter will last another year in hip-hop before everyone migrates along to the next big thing. Looks like our readers are pretty damn in tune with what’s been going down lately in the Twitterverse. First you had Cudi publicly denouncing Twitter last week, and now just yesterday Chris Brown officially deleted his Twitter account after one too many PR nightmares.

As more and more artists find themselves in more trouble than good with Twitter it will only be a matter of time before more artist managers and publicists put the shut down on their clients’ Twitter account. Who is next to bail from Twitter?

Biz Markie x I Love Tune-Up. There is a new king of commercials in hip-hop these days and he’s literally all about the Biz. The iTunes music organizing software company has enlisted Biz Markie and Andy Milonakis of all people for their first major ad campaign. We like seeing artists like Biz Markie re-invent themselves to stay relevant in today’s pop culture. Now you can’t go anywhere without hearing “Just a Friend” including the recent Radio Shack ad and last year’s big Heineken ad success. Via: TRU

Nelly x Apple Bottoms Fragrance. Nelly continues his press tour promoting his new Apple Bottoms fragrance collection. The current fragrance line is priced at $48 and $58 and yes they are shaped like apples…much better than having them shaped like ass. Nelly plans to further expand his Apple Bottoms business empire through a beauty products line  that will include lotions and body washes. Video compliments of StraightFromTheA.

The team that brought the world “I’m On A Boat” is back. This time Andy Samberg gets some good plug-ins for T-Pain’s Auto Tune iPhone app…while singing to a hermit crab. Yea just watch the video compliments of Funny or Die.

Yea that’s $115 U.S. dollars. You must really love your dog to get them this BBC/Ice Cream dog pillow. Wait…or is it just a pillow that’s shaped like a dog and meant for humans? Just ignore the fact these probably cost $0.99 to manufacture in China. Regardless, we actually envy Pharrell’s high margin luxury clothing business model and the millions he reaps in globally every year off of it. Via: BBC Blog

Juelz is back with his new single “Back to the Crib” and has enlisted Chris Brown of all people to jump in on the “featuring” credit. Check the video after the jump.

Lil Wayne’s feature film debut has officially been downgraded to “Direct to DVD” status. Unfortunately Hurricane Season, which stars Forest Whitaker, Bow Wow and Wayne has officially reached the same status as the Ice Cube comedy Janky Promoters and is currently available at all Blockbuster Video stores as an exclusive. Check this scene from the movie where Wayne plays Lamont, a high school kid who sells stolen kicks to the basketball team and even bets against his own school.

Hurricane Season was actually a project that many Hollywood studios were excited about. It had a legit director (Tim Story from Barbershop and Fantastic Four), an Academy Award winner in Forest Whitaker and a hot young cast with Bow Wow and Wayne. Unfortunately the project was under the Weinstein Studio which faced financial troubles and shelved a handful of their films including this one.

Problem was, although the movie is solid and definitely deserves a major theatrical release, the subject matter was considered “been there and done that” since it was centered around post-Hurricane Katrina. The good out of all this? You get to watch a pretty solid movie and see Lil Wayne play a 17 year old all for $5 now. Go buy rent it now.
