STACKS Mag’s All New Friday Series: “THE RATCHET REPORT”…Get Your LOL On!

Each week, STACKS Magazine will bring our readers “The Ratchet Report”. We will highlight hot topics that have made headline news that make us say “Really?”. We will choose one report (or celebrity) to receive the “Really?Award” for the most down right ratchet thing we have ever heard of. So sit back and enjoy as we bring to you “The Ratchet Report” !!

Definition of “Ratchet” in the Urban Dictionary: A hot mess…lol

Lamar Odom is back in the news… Even after his DUI arrest and reports of him checking out of a rehab clinic, Odom was spotted leaving a CVS with a popular homemade crack pipe ingredient. Sources from TMZ reported that Odom was caught on camera coming out of a CVS with the Chore Boy, a copper scrubbing pad that is used to make crack pipes. Although Odom’s driver was holding the bag with the ingredient, reports are speculating that the ingredient had to belong to Odom based on his allegations of drug addiction.

I’m not the sharpest knife in the draw, but if I had the money and resources that Lamar Odom has, there is no way that I would be going to the store and spotted with anything that could incriminate my character. Even if he was allegedly buying Chore Boy for the purposes of making his own crack pipe, why would he go get it himself?  Things that make you say hmmmm. Haven’t we learned from the late great Whitney Houston? Deny Deny Deny “Crack is cheap” !

Suge Knight arrested for the…. Well who’s counting….Reports hit the media that Suge Knight was arrested on Wednesday 9/11 for driving with a suspended license. He was pulled over around 12:30am after a LAPD officer noticed Suge allegedly riding two lanes. Although he was sober, Suge didn’t have a license plate on the back of his truck which also raised suspicions from cops.  Suge was taken into custody and released on a $20,000 bail.

The well-known producer and CEO of Def Row Records is worth a reported $200,000 and influential in the careers of artist such as Dr. Dre, Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg. If you have never been to LA, then believe me when I say it’s not a place for Black men under the microscope to get caught slipping. With Suge’s estimated net worth, I’m sure he could have hired a driver or caught a cab however that wasn’t the case in this situation.

Anthony Weiner may have lost the race but still gave the cameras his number one finger!!  Weiner lost the New York mayoral race but instead of giving his full concession speech he decided to storm of stage at his election party and flip the cameras the bird. Reporters stated that they weren’t sure if the finger was intended for the press however he has had a string of not so good media.

Weiner was most known for being involved with former sexting partner, Sydney Leathers and a former intern who wrote a tell all book. In my opinion with all of Weiner scandals, this is a piece of cake.
