Gucci Mane arrested on probation violation

Caesar — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 22:23:21 +0000

News just in that Gucci Mane has been taken into custody and sentenced to 12 months in jail just as his career was sky rocketing.

No word on what he was actually arrested for other than it being a probation violation.

Damn, that makes T.I., Lil Wayne, Lil Boosie and Gucci Mane all in the big house at the same time. It’s a good thing Shyne just got released

UPDATE: MTV reports that Gucci may be out in six months.

Mia X is making a new album after a decade of silence

Heat — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 06:57:57 +0000

The former Tankstress from Master P’s No Limit record label is making a new album entitled Betty Rocka Locksmith slated for February of 2010. That’s right, if you forgot about Mia X; she’s making her return after a decade of silence.

Apparently the silence is due to the unexpected passing of her mother and father. She’s also been helping her younger sister get through medical school. The last full length album she put out was Mama Drama in 1998. Mia was showcased on C-Murder’s song “Mihita” off his Screamin’ 4 Vengeance album released last year.

My honest opinion is that Mia X could murk any female rapper when it comes to beef. Not to mention one of the first female rappers to hit the commercial rap scene in the 90’s besides Lady of Rage. I know I’ll get clowned on for even saying that, but it’s why it’s called an opinion.

Pollard was booked on multiple drug charges and two counts of illegal possession of stolen firearms and and one count of illegal carrying of a weapon.

I’m sorry Beans, but I really don’t think Jay is going to reply to you. He’s past needing beef for promotion. Plus do you really think he’s going to risk the status he has now by participating in a beef he could quite possible lose?

50 Cent says Beanie Sigel is coming to G-Unit

Heat — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 22:46:32 +0000

This really doesn’t come as a shock after the latest attacks from Beanie Sigel on Jay-Z. Philadelphia’s own Power 99 radio station conducted an interview yesterday with 50 Cent and Beanie Sigel along side him.

During the interview it was revealed that G-Unit’s newest member would indeed be Beanie Sigel himself. Apparently Beans was in the background chanting the groups call; G-G-G-Unit! The Broadstreet Bully also stated that he won’t stop attacking Jay-Z until he responds with the proper respect.

Sigel stated that Jigga is nothing more than a crumb. During an interview last week, Jay-Z has this and much more to say regarding the Beanie Sigel attacks:

“He has a lot to complain about,” Jay-Z said jokingly. “Not me. Well Beanie Sigel at the time, and you can look it up if you like, just to be honest, was driving two Bentleys, I don’t know how. It’s impossible to drive two cars at one time with his mama in the sticks and selling 800,000 records. I don’t know what more you can do for somebody at that point. What people choose to do when they attain that type of success, you know, at some point you have to look in the mirror and look at yourself.”

“Beanie Sigel had a record deal, a record label, and a clothing line. And never went platinum, ever. I don’t know in the history of rap has anyone done so much with so little.,” Jay-Z added. ” I don’t know what more you can do for a person at that point. But a record deal, that’s normal. A record label and a clothing line, so, if that’s not pushing a person, shit. Thank-you.”

Pimp C’s sophomore album cover released

Heat — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:10:53 +0000

The late Pimp C’s sophomore album cover was released today. The name of the album is The Naked Soul of Sweet James Jones. Pimp was a member of UGK along with Bun B.

It was revealed that the album will be released via Rap-A-Lot Records with an unknown time of the release. Bun put the album together with unused vocals from Pimp C. He died in late 2007 due to an accidental overdose of Codeine combined with a sleep disorder called Sleep Apnea.

Bun spoke with XXL Magazine and here’s what he had to say:

“We had enough vocals, But it wasn’t just about taking whatever vocals I had available; it was about constructing songs,” Bun told XXL Mag earlier this year. “It wasn’t about just throwing all the Pimp C I had out there. I had to really try to make an album.”

Rapper Mike Beck killed

Caesar — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 04:48:07 +0000

Mike Beck, an up and coming rapper from Brooklyn, was shot and killed last night in a failed robbery on Logan and Bellmar Street in Brooklyn.

Beck was affiliated with Fat Joe, who sent his RIP’s via Twitter, and appeared on the remix to his “300 Brolic” track.

I actually became familiar with Beck’s music a couple months ago for the first time and thought he had a lot of potential.

Rest In Peace.

Shynes arrives in Belize

Heat — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 03:01:10 +0000

Shyne arrived in Belize only to be greeted by the Paparazzi which he ignored. Po headed to the Princess Youth Royal Hotel to give a motivational speech to under privileged children that were beginning to head down the wrong path in their young lives.

The reason behind Shyne’s deportation in still unclear at this time. The only suggestion I can come up with is that Diddy had something to do with it. Spending nine years in prison is a long time for a crime that he may not have committed. If ya’ll missed the related news to this; [click here]. Below is a picture of Shyne with the kids at the hotel.

Eminem is plotting horror movies

Heat — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 02:56:18 +0000

According to internet sources today, Eminem is plotting a horror series of movies to pay homage to the likes of Christine, Aliens and The Lost Boys. The title of the series will be called Shady Talez.

Fans read on shocktillyoudrop.com that the Detroit native had plans to develop an anthology of flicks to some of those listed above. According to the website, Em would have multiple roles in the project. XXL Mag spoke to Shady’s publicist Dennis Dennehy and this is what he had to say:

“Nothing is set in stone thus far. There’s been talks,” he said, “but I can’t confirm anything yet.”

The legal battle will now focus on trying to get Shyne a visa back into the US.

The IRS has now come for Nas

Heat — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 07:56:40 +0000

First it was Method Man, now the Internal Revenue Service is coming after Nas.

The IRS has ironically slammed Nas with a demand for $2.5 million in unpaid taxes. They have requested he pay the massive figure amount for outstanding taxes owed between 2006 and 2007. This is only another troubled time for Nas because his estranged wife Kelis managed to pull $30,471 a month for her and their infant son Knight. If ya’ll missed the Method Man ordeal, [click here] and video of Meth turning himself in also [click here].

What the fuck is the deal with rappers wives these days dropping a splintered ball bat on their nuts? Eminem’s wife Kim said he sucked in bed and wasn’t well-endowed, and now Kelis pulled almost $31,000 from Nas’ ass.

Beanie Sigel disses Jay-Z

Caesar — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 02:21:10 +0000

This was kind of unexpected but to be expected at the same time, I guess. Last night during the Powerhouse show in Philadelphia, with Jay-Z headlining, Beanie Sigel came out at the end of the D-Block set and apparently fired some shots at Jigga.

He performed “Mack Bitch,” his verse from Raekwon’s “Have Mercy” and “Feel It In The Air” before spitting his own version of Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 intro, a cappella. Beans apparently took offense to Jay’s original when he spits “Grown men, they want me to sit them on my lap. But I ain’t got no beard and Santa Claus ain’t black” and he spit “I’m comin down my chimney with a Mac and go blat! That’s what I’m talkin about!”

He then followed that with some “I run this town!”s.

Shyne still set to be deported

Caesar — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 01:11:27 +0000

Even after fan outcry and public support, it looks like Shyne is still set to be deported to Belize when he is released from custody.

Miss Info got the scoop from Angine Martinez, who is close friends with ‘Po.

Today I was hanging out with my girl Angie Martinez on her show, and she told me she talked to Shyne and he wanted to share this update….

Shyne’s team is fighting to stay in the US where his mother and his grandmother live and where they raised him….but it seems like he’s going to have to continue the fight from Belize. Shyne will be released from Immigration custody but will then be deported to Belize soon. He has Harvard Professor Charles Ogletree advocating on his behalf in concert with his legal team. They’re still urging fans to reach out to Governor Patterson’s office to petition for Shyne’s pardon (click here for Paterson’s email and his address) but deportation is imminent.

And what about Shyne’s mental state? Angie says “Shyne is one of the strongest people I know and he’s handling this situation just as I’d expect him to. It must be frustrating for all of his friends and family; he served his time, and keeps getting all these different dates and conflicting information. But he’s a soldier, he’s dealing with it.”

Mase crashes show to have Diddy sign his release papers

Caesar — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 07:31:00 +0000

You’re telling me that Diddy is so unavailable to Mase that he had to resort to crashing a Diddy radio interview just to have his release papers signed? Damn Puff you cold, I hope Dirty Money was paying attention! You gotta admit that’s a nice chess move by Mase though, and it’s good to see he hasn’t abandoned religion either, he signed himself just before Diddy signed the papers. Looks like Mase knows he needs all the help in this world (and beyond) when it comes to getting something out of Puff.

“I don’t even know how to take that, I’m not used to Puff doing good stuff.” Ouch.

Anyone down for a Mase and Shyne collaboration? Something tells me Diddy isn’t.
