Shady Records Explain's Obie Trice's Sudden Departure
Shady Records Explain's Obie Trice's Sudden Departure

Following the release of a song
called "The Giant," rumors began to swirl that Detroit rapper Obie
Trice had been dropped from his label of eight years, Shady Records.
Lyrics like "Nope, no more second place to Eminem / question if I was second is the question to many men," further
encouraged this logic. Shady Records issued a statement today,
confirming Obie's drop from the label. Paul Rosenberg, Eminem's manager
and long time friend, said "Shady Records has agreed to allow Obie
Trice to pursue his craft in a different form free from the constraints
of the current major label model." A fan of Eminem & Obie
collaborations? No worries, as Paul Rosenberg also confirmed that Trice
will continue to work with Mr. Slim Shady himself, and that he still is
a close friend of both Eminem and the record label.

Obie Trice Apparantly Off Of Shady Records
Obie Trice Apparantly Off Of Shady Records

Following the recent release of Obie Trice's song "The Giant", it looks like the Detroit MC is no longer a part of Shady/Interscope records. No word yet on WHY this purportedly happened but it would appear that it is true judging from his lyrics.
"Well, no more Shady. Guess it was meant/For me to branch off from my Caucasian friend/Nope, no more 2nd place to Eminem/Question if i was 2nd is the question to many men/No disrespect to Em, he's first/Anything after, research the verses."
Trice was scheduled to release his 3rd album later this year titled, "Bottoms Up". An unknown source stated that Trice had been "dropped off of the label for unknown reasons." It is specualted that Obie was either upset with Interscope for the way he was treated, or that he was tired of trying to overcome the shadow of his mentor Eminem.

The Clipse Partner With Koch Records For Re-Up Gang Album
The Clipse Partner With Koch Records For Re-Up Gang Album Multi-million selling artists The Clipse, have recently linked up with indie label Koch Records for the long-awaited Re-Up Gang album. Formed in 2004, The Re-Up Gang consists of Pusha-T and Malice of Clipse and Philadelphia natives Ab-Liva & Sandman. After playing a vital role in the success of the We Got It 4 Cheap mixtape series, Ab-Liva & Sandman are looking to find the same recognition as their predecessors.

Slated to be released August 5th, the album will feature nine brand new cuts and three unreleased remixes from the third volume of the We Got It 4 Cheap series. "Everything happens for a reason. We put out the We Got It 4 Cheap series on our own for the streets and that helped keep us visible and build the Re-Up name as an entity," says Pusha-T of The Clipse.

"This time, [our manager] Tony Draper got with [Koch General Manager] Alan Grunblatt to put together an official album with new music and let Koch Records do what they do best. This release gives us something fresh in the marketplace to reward Re-Up fans while we continue to work on the Clipse album." Kicking off the buzz for the album is the Scott Storch-produced single "Fast Life", which is destined to become a strip club anthem.

Jay-Z Looking To Invest In The Yankees
Jay-Z Looking To Invest In The Yankees Despite already having stake in the New Jersey Nets, it looks like Hip Hop Mogul Sean "Jay-Z" Carter may be looking into investing in America's favorite past time, and is looking to buy shares into the New York Yankees.
Along with shares in the New Jersey Nets, Jay-Z also has his sports club franchise 40/40, so he is no stranger to making investments. Just recently, he singed a $150 million dollar deal with Live Nation, as well as an advertising company with Steve Stout.

Jay had also been in talks to invest in a soccer team based in London "Arsenal Football Club" but the deal never happened."I had invested in the Nets, and they (Arsenal bosses) asked me if I was interested in investing. But I get that from time to time," Jay told London's Time Out magazine. "Someone told me yesterday that someone else had a piece of the New York Yankees, 'We wanna talk to you, yadda yadda yadda.' I mean, I love the Yankees so I'm in the middle of following that through, but sometimes it comes to be nothing. That (Arsenal) was one of the times it came to nothing."

Court Orders 50 To Keep his Mansion
Court Orders 50 To Keep his Mansion


Looks like someone is telling 50 what to do
these day's, as State Supreme Court Justice Carol Edmead mandated that
50 keep the long Island Mansion that recently burnt down due to what
authorities are calling a suspicious fire.


According to the Associate press "Judge Edmead also ordered the Queens rapper to deposit the insurance
payout into a trust fund until the outcome of his legal dispute with
ex-girlfriend Shaniqua Tompkins."


Before the flames had a chance to die, 50's baby mother Shaniqua
Tompkins wasted no time in telling everyone willing to listen that she
felt that 50 had something to do with the fire, and that he had
threatened to kill her. She also said that 50 had promised to buy her a
house ten years ago but had recently changed his mind attempting to
have her and their ten year old son evicted.


50 and his group G-unit [Tony Yayo, and Lloyd
banks] are preparing for the release of their sophomore album Terminate
On Sight, scheduled for a July 1st release. No further details about
the fire has been revealed about the fire.

DJ Chuck T Leaks Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III, Lil Wayne Explains Outburst
DJ Chuck T Leaks Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III, Lil Wayne Explains Outburst


Somewhere in the world, a
wise man once said that you should never bite the hand that feeds you,
so before things could get to0 ugly, the self proclaimed "rapper eater"
tried to clear the air regarding his feelings on the mixtape industry
and its djs.



“First off I ain’t mean to disrespect no deejays, no mixtape
deejays, whatever kind of deejay you is, there was no kind of
disrespect,
especially given the fact that me and Drama, me DJ KHALED and me and my homeboy Raj Smooth from New Orleans, we all get it in and do the mixtape thing. So given that fact, I think things were blew out of proportion." Said Weezy during a conversation on DJ Drama's Shade45 show.


Without having an album out Lil Wayne was able to reach superstar status as an artist mainly through music
that was being brought to the public via mixtapes, so when his comments
were first heard, many were upset and even confused by his comments.
Wayne went on to explain that his comments were geared to one person
and one person only.


“This Empire ****, I don’t **** with him. For all deejays I just want you to know that, that diss was meant for that Empire ****. I don’t **** the Empire ****. The **** put a CD out on me every month and I couldn’t tell you how none of them niggas look in person,”


Empire
is the man that produces the popular series, " The Drought Is Over",
but after offering what seemed like an apology to the DJ community,
Wayne reignited some fires.


“Whoever got soft feelings and whoever took what I said and wants
to feel some kind of way, I want you to know, please don’t feel
different after you hear me on this right here,
I want you to still feel like saying ‘**** that ****’ cause when
you see me in the streets I want it to be that because I’m going to
bite your fucking face off.”



Despite Weezy's
explanation,the consequences of his actions are well underway with the
leaking of his highly anticipated album The Carter III, weezy fans
everywhere were given an early present when the album was leaked
through the internet over the weekend. The man who claims to be
responsible for the leak sent an email blast saying.


"Lil Wayne said '**** mixtape
DJ's'...so now i'm about to show that boy the meaning of bootleg...I'll be damned if I let anyone get away with saying ****
me without him facing some type of repercussions, including
." he then went on to say "Don't buy the new Lil Wayne album. Download it for free
." Making the album available for download, via a link to a download site.

Kanye Takes Sole Control Of His Mothers Estate, While His Cousin Lobbies Legislators
Kanye Takes Sole Control Of His Mothers Estate, While His Cousin Lobbies Legislators

Just months after the mother of rapper Kanye West tragically passed away, a California judge has granted Kanye the right to assume total control of her estate.

According to E! news, "In court documents filed April 18 in Los Angeles Superior Court the rapper requested that he and business
manager Shawn Gee be designated co-executors of Donda's assets, valued
at $150,000."


When Ms Donda West Died she did not have a will, and according to state law her son was named her sole heir.


Since
her death, California legislators have been bouncing around new laws
and regulations that would help incidents that may have prevented Ms
West's death from happening.



Kanye's cousin and his
mothers niece, Yolanda Anderson, has begun lobbying legislators to
bring in a bill that would make a physical examination mandatory before
all cosmetic procedures.


Donda West died of a heart attack, after having cosmetic surgery.

Police Find A Gas Tank In 50's Mansion
Police Find A Gas Tank In 50's Mansion

Just day's after 50's mansion
burnt to the ground, police have found a five gallon gas container in
the mansion, adding to the suspicion that the fire may have been
intentional.

The fire, which occurred early Friday morning, destroyed 50's 2.4
million dollar home, located on Dix Hills, Long Island, and sent his
baby's mother, son, and six other people to the hospital.


Arson
Investigators have not determined the cause of the fire, but have been
suspicious of the cause of the fire from the beginning because of how
quickly the entire mansion was engulfed in flames.


Tompkins, 50's baby mother, wasted no time to accuse the rapper of
having something to do with the fire, as well as questioning his status
as a father by accusing the G-Unit rapper of not checking in on his son
after the incident.


While returning to the site of the fire, Tompkins screamed out "Tell him [50] to call his son"

Despite her accusations, 50 has denied having any involvement with the fire, and said he was happy no one was hurt.


50 Cent and Tompkins will continue their dispute over ownership of the mansion in the Manhattan Supreme Court on June 10.

Evidence Issues Press Statement about Tagger Buket
Evidence Issues Press Statement about Tagger Buket

Buket getting World Wide Recognition on NEWS


This video above was used on several stations last night to talk about a tagger named bucket that got busted for tagging all of L.A. & causing over $300,000.00 in damages.the problem was that Evidence of dilated peoples was not the tagger.he was giving a drop for bucket & most of the public mistook Ev for bucket, so EV issued a press statement that appears on his myspace page. Heres a link to one of the news broadcasts from last night
http://cbs2.com/video/?id=68144@kcbs.dayport.com

Evidence says, I only met Buket once when I was asked to do a promo for an internet show, however Im obviously not him and find it humorous how the media didnt take the time to figure this out before running such an extensive story.

Evidence explains how he was approached by Yazdani over a year ago and asked to say a few promotional words on film. Unbeknowest to the celeb endorser his words would be edited and used as an introductory segment running prior to footage of Yazdani making his tag mark on the 101 Hollywood Fwy. The segment entitled War 4 circulated on Youtube.com and was watched by over 500,000 viewers. Video images of Evidence were accidently pulled by the Los Angeles Times when Yazdani was taken into custody, thus mistakenly identifying the MC for the notorious tagger. The rapper explains, In my line of work anytime someone asks me for a recorded or live video promo Im always glad to do it. I have co-signed thousands of Internet, Radio and TV shows as well as various other forms of media. This could have happened to any entertainer, not just me.

Nas's Nig*er Still Hitting The Streets--In Mixtape Form
Nas's Nig*er Still Hitting The Streets--In Mixtape Form New York rapper Nas is still determined for his controversial entitled album to hit the streets--one way or another. According to Dj Green Lantern, the Queens bred MC will be releasing a mixtape bearing the scrapped album title.

"The Nigger Tape" is said to feature exclusive tracks, remixes and outtakes, including an unreleased verse from Nas’s recently released “Be A Nigger Too,” Black President,” a cut initially slated to appear on Green’s Barak Obama mixtape and “Legendary,” the theme song to a forthcoming Mike Tyson documentary.

A new version of “The Last Real Nigga Alive,” which originally appeared on God’s Son, is also expected to make the final cut. 

“I guess it shows you the power of Wal-Mart and Target,” Green tells Rhapsody regarding Nas’ title switch. “If that was the case, it’s definitely scary because it kind of fucks with your artistic vision. But Nas and DJ Green Lantern are coming out with a mixtape called The Nigger Tape. Can’t nobody hold that back.”

No word as to when the tape will be released but it will be featured on www.mixtapesite.com

According Newsday, Farmington police say a 22-year-old New Britain woman called cops to the mansion claiming 27-year-old Dwayne Mckenzie choked her and struck her with a belt during an argument.

McKenzie has been was charged with assault, strangulation, breach of peace and unlawful restraint. He was released after posting $10,000 bond and is due back in court on July 15th. 

Mckenzie was already on a conditional discharge after he was arrested late last year in Hartford for allegedly pistol-whipping a nightclub promoter.  

According to reports, that disagreement allegedly began when Allison refused to announce an after party to be held at Fif's house.

Reportedly, McKenzie drove up to Allison and asked him to promote the after party.

Allison then told McKenzie, "You don't call someone up threatening to smack them because they don't big you up in the club."

McKenzie allegedly then jumped out of his Cadillac Escalade and hit Allison in the chin and again in his right eye with a pistol.

DJ Star Loses Lawsuit Against Councilman
DJ Star Loses Lawsuit Against Councilman Controversial New York radio personality, Dj Star, of Star & Bucwild fame, has lost a lawsuit he filed against New York City councilman John Liu for defamation of character.

The lawsuit stemmed after Star, real name Troi Toraine, was briefly charged with child endangerment and fired from New York's Power 105.1 after making sexually charged comments towards Hot 97.1's Dj Envy's daughter and offering listeners $500 for information about the child's school. Torain also used a racial slur to describe Envy's wife, who is part Asian.

Toraine then filed suit against John Liu after he called him a "sick, pedophile" claiming defamation of character. The suit was thrown out causing Torain to appeal the ruling. 

The  federal appeals court says the councilman did not defame the dj noting that under New York and federal law, expressions of pure opinion rather than statements of fact are protected by the Constitution.

The appeals court said a reasonable listener of the statements could not have believed that they were intended to convey objective facts in the context they were made.

Remy Ma Sentenced To Eight Years, Papoose Lashes Out
Remy Ma Sentenced To Eight Years, Papoose Lashes Out Bronx rapper Remy Ma, real name Remy Smith, has been sentenced to eight years in prison for shooting longtime pal Makeda Barnes-Joseph in the stomach outside of a New York City hotspot.

The 26-year old rapper was facing up to 25 years behind bars for assault, weapons possession, and coercion.

According to the Associated Press, Smith was teary-eyed as she heard the sentence. She says the shooting last summer was an accident; an appeal is planned.   

After the sentencing, Smith's fiancee, Brooklyn rapper Papoose, lashed out against Joseph screaming "All you want is money!" in a hallway outside the court room.

"Lock me up! Lock me up!" he then shouted to court officers, who escorted him out of the courthouse. 

Papoose was sanctioned by Rikers Island officials yesterday after he attempted to give Remy a skeleton key capable of opening handcuffs.

He was banned from visiting Remy for six months.

Remy Ma's lawyer, Ivan Fisher, denies that the key could be used to unlock handcuffs and says the two still plan to wed after the bride-to-be's transfer to an upstate prison.

Remy Ma, Papoose Wedding Called Off After Rapper Is Caught With Handcuff Key
Remy Ma, Papoose Wedding Called Off After Rapper Is Caught With Handcuff Key As if the love story of rappers Papoose and Remy Ma couldn't get any stranger after the two decided to go ahead with wedding plans despite Remy Ma being behind bars awaiting sentencing, the two have landed in hot water thanks to Papoose sneaking in a handcuff key to their wedding ceremony at Rikers Island. 

So Was Papoose attempting to set his love bird free?  

According to the New York Daily News, that may very well have been the case. The wedding, which was scheduled to take place yesterday Monday , May 12th, at Rikers Island was called off after officials confiscated a skeleton key capable of opening handcuffs from the Groom-t0-be Papoose.

"A wedding was scheduled today and a visitor to that wedding service was found to be in possession of jail contraband so the wedding was canceled," a corrections official told the Daily News. 

"The key that was found today easily opened handcuffs that we and other law enforcement officials use," the official said.

Though Papoose wasn't charged after he voluntarily gave up the key, he was sanctioned by not being able to visit Rikers Island for six months.

Remy is facing up to 25 years in prison at her sentencing today (Tuesday, May 13th) for shooting her friend Makeda Barnes-Joseph in the stomach last July in the Meatpacking District.

"A lot of this shit that 50's doing towards my situation, I'm just not used to," he tells Mz. Kitti of XM's Raw 66.

"I'm a street nigga, I ain't used to nigga's just saying shit and just doing any of this shit I'm like 'Hold up.' ... I'm focused at this point and I'mma stay this way. I'm more happier than I've ever been in my career. I ain't lying." He continued.

Buck also took the time to reach out to The Game, acknowledging his support but says he hasn't managed to link up with the L.A. rapper as of yet.

"To the homie Game. I'm aware of you reaching out. I haven't gotten on no phone conversations and actually spoke to Game, but he's reached out to a few people that's around me just to show his support like 'Yo Buck, fuck whatever's going on, I just wanna see your well being, as long as you aight.' "

"That's love and I ain't even got that call from Banks and Yayo, and we ain't got no issues with each other. The issue was from 50."

You can check out a part of the interview below including his thoughts on Tony Yayo, Sha Money XL, 50's Chain Snatchin, and Snoop Dogg.

When things escalated, Suge and his entourage beat the unidentified man to the ground. However, during the scuffle, the man landed a right hook to Suge's chin, knocking him unconscious.

Witnesses say Knight was out cold for nearly three minutes on the pavement, before awakening and stumbling over to an SUV, where he was driven away from the scene.

He was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment and refused to cooperate with authorities.

Suge is also rumored to have a Reality TV show in the works. You can check out the trailer as well as pics from the scuffle below.
