A huge 400 person brawl broke out at the grand opening of a Fat Tuesday restaurant at the Resorts World Casino in Queens. People even began hurling chairs across the room at one another. Check out the photos in the gallery and a graphic video of the horrific brawl below!
(Video) NBA: NYC Does It Right! Nas Kicks Off All Star Game With #NYStateOfMind Performance
New York City and MSG are considered the Mecca of basketball, but we all know New York is the Mecca of hip hop as well. With that said, what other better way to set this night off than with a performance from one of the greatest ever, NAS!! Sure Christina Aguilera actually opened up the show, but once she introduced Nas she was pretty much forgotten about. Nothing like hearing “New York State of Mind” at an event that has the focus of the world right now. With the opening performance so dope, hopefully it’s a prelude to the rest of the night being amazing as well.
(Photo)MLB: 50 Cent’s Ugly First Pitch Gets Turned Into A Real Baseball Card
50 Cent’s first pitch from a New York Mets game earlier this season has become somewhat of a legend of it’s own. Hip-Hop fan or not, baseball fan or not, you heard of or saw his ugly, ceremonial first pitch. Knowing 50, many people still think he threw it so bad on purpose just for marketing or attention reasons. Not like he needs anymore attention cause everyone knows who he is, but hey, you never know. It was announced in January that Topps would be releasing a special 15-card series to commemorate all that is wonderful — and often horrible — about ceremonial first pitches before Major League Baseball games. The series actually gets released today, not too long after 50 was given an award for his pitch, the “Most memorable first pitch” by MLB Network. In case you somehow missed it, check it out below and check the gallery for the Card.

IFWT Wishes Action Bronson A Happy Birthday!
Today, December 2nd, Queens own Action Bronson celebrates his 31st birthday. The professional chef-turned-rapper has helped pave the way these past few years by bringing back that “real Hip-Hop” sound to our speakers. Bronsolini is definitely one of a kind and his sound is something the game has been missing. Wishing you the happiest birthday in the world, Action!
(Photos) Machine Gun Kelly Gives Back To Students In Queens, NY
The media always focuses on the crazy antics of most of our favorite artists, so when they do something positive, I always try to highlight it! Machine Gun Kelly’s ‘No Class Tour’ rolled through the Big Apple last night, and after a night of partying in celebration of Kells’ road manager Dre’s birthday and the 2-year anniversary of Kells’ debut album Lace Up, the EST crew made their way out to Queens to hang out with the kids this afternoon. “Cooked up 3 big trays of chicken and beef sliders, and gave em away to the kids getting out of school today at Burgandy’s Cafe,” MGK wrote on Instagram. “Good food for good kids.” Looks like the kids were truly appreciative! [No word on K’s cooking skills just yet though. Ha!] More pics in the gallery. The ‘No Class Tour‘ continues tomorrow night in Boston.
