R&B Singer Teena Marie dead at 54, IRS Targets Trick Daddy, The Game Robbed, Wale Beef

Wutz good folks! Hope everyone's Christmas was as good as mine. Looking forward to new year because this one has been a mess for me, personally speaking. It was also a sad Christmas for some after finding out that R&B legend Teena Marie died at the tender age of 54. If you didn't know who Teena Marie was and just listened to her voice, you would say, "Man! This sista's got soul!" Only to find out that she's not a "sista," she was actually the Motown's first white female to ever be signed to the label. Some of her hit songs were "Square Biz," "I Need Your Lovin'," and the popular "Fire and Desire" featuring Rick James. No drugs of any sort were found in her system. They believe she died of natural causes. Although someone said she had suffered a seizure recently. You will be forever missed Teena and I know they will appreciate that soulful voice of yours in heaven. She had one daughter who I believe is in her late teens to early 20s.

R.I.P. Teena!

Trick Love tha Kids, but not Taxes


Man I tell ya! These rappers and their taxes. Country, pop, Rock, and R&B music must be doing something right, because you don't hear those artists in the headlines dealing with taxes. Our latest rapper to join the "I Owe Taxes" bunch is Trick Daddy. Sources from the Detroit News says the rapper owes the IRS around $157,000 in back taxes from 2002. They even put a lien out on his wife. The IRS are worse than the hip hop police! Here's a list of other entertainers that the IRS have targeted: Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Obie Trice, Method Man, Eve, DMX, Nas, Swizz Beatz, Doug E. Fresh, Mos Def, Beanie Sigel, Wyclef, Hammer, Lil Kim, Big Boi, Fat Joe, D12, Young Buck.

G-Dep What Happened?


I'm not even gonna call this stupidity. I'm just gonna call it as God's calling and God's will. Former Bad Boy artist G-Dep recently turned himself into police and admitted that he shot and robbed a 32-year-old man. However, there was only one problem to this. G-Dep claims he didn't realize that the guy he shot had died. Well dig this, the victims brother is calling G-Dep an idiot for turning himself in. According to G-Dep's lawyer, the confession comes from a 12-step anti-drug program. Wonder what other excuse he's gonna have. Damn shame. Believe what you wanna believe. Here's a video of one of his close friends explaining why Dep snitched on himself. Click on the link below:

The Game Robbed on Christmas Eve



After a nice day of shopping at the Westfield Topanga Mall in Canoga Park, Ca., the game returned to his car to find that $75,000 worth of jewelry and other items had been stolen. Game went on a twitter rant, accusing the valet people at the mall conducting some sort of stealing scheme. He also dissed the cops about him being patted down and questioned after explaining to him that he was the victim of a crime. Well, I guess it's no more leaving jewelry in the car for you Game. 

Gotti Says, "Don't Believe Everything You Read"



Lil' Wayne has a lot of people wondering who will be the next artist added to his Young Money roster. Several artists have been brought to the attention, but Yo Gotti took most of the spotlight. He was the most popular artist to be rumored of making that move. However, you can't exhale all of that out because I don't think that's happening. Not saying that Gotti isn't cool with YMCMB, but a few years back, he already said that he just had a distribution deal with Cash Money Records. Not sure if this is still true now, but it was then. And I really don't see anybody like him signing to a major label after enjoying a nice independent label that Gotti has got going for himself for years. Hustlers like him and Lil' Boosie usually don't make moves like this. I'm still sticking with Chris Brown as the new Young Money artist!

X's Wife Takes Up for his latest Run-In with the Po Po's



So we all know that DMX has headed back to the slammer in Arizona and is sporting those famous pink prison clothes they must wear. But his wife (not sure what to call her status anymore) claims that X was set up. Here's a quote she recently said about the incident:

"He only had three weeks left [of probation], and they set him up. Because he was in a rehab that they put him in because he was driving dirty, and they gave him permission to go do a show. How do you give someone that's supposed to be in a rehab permission to do a show? It was a set-up, and then X, I can't even believe that he even took a drink knowing the situation."
Whatever! I believe she has some issues too. Still waitin' on that book that she is supposedly dropping.

R.I.P. to Carmelo Anthony's Sister


I told ya this year has been a tough year with losses. Melo's sister Michelle, recently died of a pre-existing medical condition she had. Prayers are with Melo and his family.

LATEST BEEF STEW COOKIN': Wale vs. Bossman


Wale is very pissed that he can't go home and do a concert without his hometown dissin' him. Apparently, Bossman is some local rapper out of the Baltimore area who has some issues with Wale and possibly Gucci. I'm not for sure how this all started. But I do know that Wale called in some radio station and was pissed for them fueling the situation. However, Bossman is still standing by his word of not really liking Wale.

Teairra Marie + Steam Room = Boobies


I'm not gonna lie, I've been wanting to actually see her body for a long time. R&B singer Teairra Marie had tweeted a photo of her in the steam room, TOPLESS! Now if she could only show the rest.

Rap Battle of the Month: Hitman Holla vs. Arsonal

This battle was one of the most highly anticipated battles at the end of the year with Hitman Holla vs. Arsonal. These two battled on SMACK URL and gave the crowd a decent performance. Although I must say, Hitman captured 2 out of the 3 rounds. See for yourself and be your own judge:

Peezy: The Life & Times of Mr. Elvis Freshley (Not your ordinary rapper) PART 3

How are you and Mr. Mike's relationship now?
Peezy: A lot has changed, but we're still cool. Music-wise, I think he has gone in another direction. I've tried to reach out to him on occasions, but you can tell when someone is no longer interested in working with you. And I don't mean that in a bad way. We're just in different lanes now. If given the opportunity again, I would love to work with him. Wut up M R DOT!
Lets talk about your relationships with females a little. Are you single?
Peezy: Currently I am.
Are you looking for a special woman at this time, or is that on hold?
Peezy: I'm not looking for anything right now. Since my last relationship ended, I realized that I lost touch with God and everything else that was important to me that I was missing in my life. The break-up was hard because it left me with saying, "I have three daughters (one who is not biologically mine) and no woman to show for it."
How many serious relationships have you had?
Peezy: Four.
And how did the last one come to an end?
Peezy: First and foremost, I got mad respect for both of my daughters mothers. They deserve a good man and a husband, just as I deserve a good woman and a wife. However, with the last one, in my personal opinion, she could not get over my past and what happened.
What happened in the past?
Peezy: Like every man does, I cheated. I say that jokingly, but I believe it to be a true and known fact. I cheated on this person about 3 or 4 years ago and because of that, it wore on the relationship and made it turn for the worse. I saw this person turn into a completely different person than who I had met the first time, and we were living together so that made it worse. I wanted to go out and cheat several more times but I didn't because I really did love her unconditionally. But for everything that I tried to do right and live by the so-called "rule book," it didn't work with her. Whether it was from the bedroom, to just having the same chick I got wit', it wasn't the same. Therefore, when other chicks would show me the kind of attention I wasn't getting at home, it was easy to be flirtatious with them. We hung in there, and now that I am a changed man (for the better), she still doesn't wanna do the family thing and live together. She wants to live separately and date. But you can only do that for so long. You either want it, or you don't.
Why do you think that is?
Peezy: Honestly, I began to have somewhat local success in my rap career in Huntington. I was doin' shows, you had groupies comin' at you every night, girls sending me naked pictures on my phone and dirty text messages. It was like I was the new kid on the block. Then, on the other hand, I had a woman at home who really didn't have any friends there, just had a baby not too long ago, and she only knew people that I knew primarily. She didn't have a social life like mine and I was her only crutch she could depend on at that time. 
What type of success did you have at that time that might have ruined your relationship with this person?
Peezy: I released a mixtape called "A Gangsta and A Gentleman" produced by Mr. Mike that was hittin' heavy, it caught the attention of E1 Music (formerly known as Koch Records) and they wanted me to do an EP for them. If the EP was a success, then I would get a distribution deal from them.
So was the EP a success?
Peezy: If it was, I don't think I would be sittin' here man! (Laughs). That EP went terribly wrong!
For what reasons?
Peezy: First off, the record label gave me a certain amount of time to have my EP complete and turned in to them. I let Mr. Mike handle all of the production. But I felt like I was under so much pressure with making hit songs and depending on people to come and jump on a verse that it just didn't work out. I went back to my hometown Lex and I thought that a lot of the local rappers down there would hop on my songs, but I thought wrong and that was a big mistake. When they would tell me that they were gonna do a song with me, I would tell the label could they extend the deadline date. That was a no-no. But you live and you learn.
Why do you think those local artists in Lexington didn't reach out to you?
Peezy: For one, I wasn't living in Lexington anymore. Two, they didn't know Peezy, they knew Antwon Pinkston. When I left for college, a lot of those cats who rap now there stayed back, so they never knew how I came to be. I will give a major shoutout to Yung Lex and Decypha because they have supported me throughout the years, and got a few tracks. 
Do you think there was any other reason they didn't reach out?
Peezy: It could be. Maybe because they think I'm not good enough. Or maybe because I have a professional job, not always out on the streets, don't live with my moms, and basically can support myself without having to have a reputation of just being "The Rapper" from my town. Truth is, it can be frustrating at times when I look at some of these dudes who I have known since middle school, and now all of a sudden, they hard, they move weight, sellin' keys, this and this. I call'em Soulja Boys. You can fool the people from other states, and you can have your riders that sweat you just in case you get on, but you can't fool me playboy.
Are you talking about anyone in particular?
Peezy: I'm talkin' bout the ones who are supposedly sellin' breaks, being signed to major labels without a real deal, wears expensive brands, but doesn't have a place to call his own. Period.
So what are your plans music-wise now?
Peezy: I've been on both ends of the stick with music, positive and negative stuff. Now I'm just doin' it for fun. Not looking to perform, get signed or anything, but I wanna do the kind of music that makes me happy. I'm sick of trying to please everyone else. I'm puttin' out "The Life & Times of Mr. Elvis Freshley" hopefully sometime at the beginning of the new year.
Why that title?
Peezy: Because that's what I go by and I am hellafied fresh! I'm only releasing this on the net. You can expect to hear everything. But don't expect to hear a lot of features or support at that. Like I said, I'm doin' this for fun. I'm not gonna sell myself some hoop dreams like some of these other cats I know.

What about outside of music?
Peezy: Right now I got this F.L.Y. Society blog going on right now. I'm eventually branching it out to form my own website called "Corporate Swag Society." It's a site that will be designed to give you everything in one. From celeb news, hip hop artists local and nationally, poetry, fashion, and soul food recipes. I haven't seen that on Allhiphop.com, HipHopDX, or Worldstarhiphop. I'm just trying to set new trends in my own way.
Anything else you trying to do?
Peezy: Yeah, I'm still continuing to get closer to God and have a better relationship with him. I'm 29, people don't realize how much you need him until you're on your last chance, I refuse to do that. I'm never gonna be perfect, but I wanna live right and do right in his eyes. At the end of the day, can't nobody, including my family, friends can judge me like he does.

Peezy: The Life & Times of Mr. Elvis Freshley (Not your ordinary rapper) PART 2

You were still living in Bowling Green, Ky. after college, right?
Peezy: Yea I graduated and got my journalism degree in 2005. But I stayed in Bowling Green for about another year or two after that.
Did you want to stay in Bowling Green?
Peezy: Naw. My life had took a turn for the worse when I blew an opportunity that I had for an internship right after graduation.
Can you talk about it?
Peezy: Yea man, I don't have anything to hide at all because I'm not fake. I think a lot of people that don't know me, or think they know me, get the wrong perception a lot. What I do and how I function around my job and my family is strictly professionalism and respect for my family members. But how I function outside of those two is the way I really am and where I feel most comfortable.
So what was the opportunity you had after graduating from WKU?
Peezy: I'm not gonna put out any company names, but it was a newspaper in Atlanta, Ga. where I was offered a paid internship, which can sometime lead to an immediate hiring of a full time job after the internship. Anyway, I blew that opportunity because I was making poor choices in my life at that time. That's when I really put my music in front of my career and began to live recklessly. 
What was so recklessly about your life at that time?
Peezy: For one, I had a daughter with my high school sweetheart around our sophomore year in college (she went to the same college as me.) So after I graduated and blew my opportunity with the internship, I felt like I didn't have a pot to piss in. I didn't have a job. I moved into my girlfriend's apartment at that time and was really searching to find myself. I quit doing music because I wasn't getting paid for anything. Most of all, I didn't have any way of supporting my daughter at that time other than her mother, her family and my family. Sometimes I would just ride out in the middle of nowhere at night and just sit in my car, contemplating on what my next move was gonna be.

So what brought you out of this funk, or how did you get back on your feet?
Peezy: Easy, my parents. Regardless of what I was doing at that time, they never gave up on me. It's like when a person is on their deathbed in the hospital and the only thing they have left to support them or be there for them in their time of need is their family. My family didn't turn their back on me. My girlfriend at the time was very supportive and even helped me find a steady job in Bowling Green at the time. I had a lot of doubters, but I had more supporters that were there for me in the time I needed them.

How did your parents help you out?
Peezy: Well after they told me about myself, (laughs), they would always give me that encouragement and belief that I needed to know that I can get myself out of this situation. And I definitely know it was their prayers as well.

At what point did you land back on your feet again?
Peezy: It was when I got my first reporting job in Huntington, W.Va. at a newspaper there. I felt like I was on top of the world because things were finally going right. My girl at the time was still finishing school after she decided to go back, I could finally support my daughter now, and I was doing it all by myself. Couldn't nobody tell me nothing. Because my girl had to finish school, I had to live by myself in Huntington for about six months, and that's when I decided to get back into music.

Was this when you started getting back in the studio and recording again?
Peezy: Yep. This person I worked with who was real big into music introduced me to a producer there name Michael Crawford, who went by Mr. Mike.

How was your first encounter with him?
Peezy: I was nervous as hell! I didn't know him from anywhere and he didn't know me, so it was kinda weird at first. We went into the studio and started listening to beats he made, I gave him a few tracks, then one of his boys was like, "If yo' shit nice man, he'll give you a beat." So I spit a few bars and the rest was history.

Was that the closest you had ever worked with a producer before?
Peezy: Well, for what I was trying to do, yes. For me, it was more about the chemistry we had, and the fact that I wasn't your ordinary rapper. I can honestly say that, I don't think Mike ever met a journalist who worked at his local newspaper and was tryna rap at the same time. I'm a different kind of person, special and unique all that the same time, ya dig?

By Desmond Harris

Stay tuned for the conclusion of my three-part interview with Peezy as he continues to get more in depth with his past and present relationships, the dating life, and where he stands at now with his music and journalism career.

Peezy: The Life & Times of Mr. Elvis Freshley (Not your ordinary rapper) PART 1

It's about 2:30 p.m. on a Friday and cold as hell in Louisville, Ky. This is my first time actually interviewing a rapper that works at a newspaper. But I wouldn't just call him a rapper. He's a father of three girls, a journalist and hustles hard to seek his own ventures and entrepreneurship. His alias is Peezy, now known to a lot of his peers as Mr. Elvis Freshley. In other words, he's not your ordinary rapper. In the first part of his interview, Peezy breaks down on how he started his music career and his family life as a youth. Stay tuned for Part 2.
When did you become interested in rapping?
Peezy: I just haven't been interested in rapping, I've been interested in music nearly my entire life. The inspiration came from my mother and father having me and my sister sit with them on Friday nights and playing their old records on a record player.
What kind of old records would they play?
Peezy: Just about anything you can think of. From the first stages of hip hop with the Sugar Hill Gang, to funk music such as George Clinton and Lakeside, to r&b albums like Angela & Rene, S.O.S. Band and Mtume. There would even be a couple of rock albums in there to, like Rare Earth and Aerosmith. I didn't just listen to the music, but I really studied all of these artists craft. That's why I appreciate all kinds of music till' this day, except country! (Laughs)
So when did you decide to pick up a mic?
Peezy: I didn't pick up a mic at first, I picked up a pen and pad and started writing poetry when I was in the fourth of fifth grade. My mother took me to church and the kids had to write something they learned about Jesus, kinda like an essay paper and present it to the parents. Well I figured since I liked music so much, I should just try to make my essay rhyme. I read my poem/essay in front a crowded church and they all applauded and thought it was creative. Don't ask me if I remember what it was or how to recite it! And my parents probably don't even remember this!  But it that eventually drew me to pick up a mic and rap.
Do you remember writing your first song?
Peezy: Of course, my family moved to Lexington, Ky. when I was in the fifth grade and I had a girlfriend named Nicki who I was really crazy about at the time. I was young, but girls constantly stayed on my mind. Back then they had the cassette singles where they would have the instrumentals on the B side. I just started rapping about how much in love I was with her and all this other silly stuff. I guess you can call that an unreleased track because I never performed it or anything, it was just for kicks.
Did you ever release anything in high school music-wise?
Peezy: Hell no! I was too busy into girls, football, and being one of the popular kids at school. I mainly just wrote poetry, but I already had my future planned out with getting a football scholarship to Western Kentucky University and becoming a journalist.  My senior year in high school was a breeze. I skipped just about everyday, but the teachers wouldn't mind. They were cool, long as I turned in my work. My parents never really knew about it because I covered it up so well.

Tell me about your lifestyle at home and how your family was when you were growing up in Lexington.
Peezy: I had strict parents man. I'm talking about, we lived in a nice neighborhood and everything but a nigga still had to come in when them street lights came on. It was crazy because most of my friends were from single parent homes, or lived in the east end and Woodhill areas. I was never really exposed to their lifestyles because mine was so different. They knew it too. But they still accepted me because I didn't act like an Uncle Tom or anything. And what you have to understand is, I lived in Alexandria, Va. prior to moving to Kentucky. When we first moved, I couldn't stand Kentucky! The people talked too damn country for me, and the state itself wasn't as fast paced as to where I was from. But you know, it grew on me. 

So would you say that you had it made because you didn't go through what some of your friends went through as far having both parents in the house and living in the suburbs?
Peezy: Hell no again! I looked at them like they had it made! I was the one who couldn't stay out at all times of the night, be out in the hood with the niggas I went to school with. But don't get it twisted, I was very appreciative of what my parents had accomplished in order for me and my sister to live comfortably. They loved hard, and still do till this day and I thank them so much for that because it has kept me grounded. Those friends that I hung out with didn't see my parents struggle with $200 or $300 and a couple of suite cases moving to Columbus, Ga. with a two-year-old son. They didn't live in a trailer with a room the size of a half bathroom. But it was all my parents had at the time and they made the best of it. To see them move from a trailer, apartment, townhouse, and finally to a house, that's a blessing man. So I really don't give a damn about being from the north, east, west, or south side of Lexington. My parents worked hard to get us where we were in Lexington so it's all good.

So when did you start having success rapping?
Peezy: When I went to college.

How did you do it?
Peezy: Back then I was known as Twon P, and a group of us football players started recording ourselves in a dorm room. I however, took it more serious and came out with my own mixtape. From there, I bought a bunch of blank cd's and had a bunch of chicks copy them. Next thing you know, I heard my music being played in some of the campus parking lots and even started getting phone calls from anonymous people that wanted to get a copy of my cd. I knew I was on to something then.

Stay tuned for Part 2 as Peezy gets more in debt with his music career, his relationships with females, his daughters and being a journalist.

New Young Money member being added to the roster, Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey expecting twins, Shaq dumping Hoopz and more!

Wutz good my peoplez! Happy Friday to my followers, non-followers, haters and non-haters. Okay, now that I got that out of the way, let me say that the KY's weather is still on FREEZE control! And this doesn't help me out at all because I have to go Christmas shopping in this with two of my kids. One who I know will get at least one ass whoopin per store!

Enough about this me and this weather.....NEWS FLASH: Soulja Boy has been found! The tatted up teeny bopper has make his triumphant return to twitter! And he let us all know by tweeting this:









dfd
Word is...lil' homie's been flying around the world or something. And he won't return any of my insulting tweets! My feelings are so hurt, lol.

SAY IT AIN'T SO!
There have been some rumors circulating around that Shaq has dropped former Flavor Flav reality TV star Hoopz. Don't know how true it is, but I do know that Shaq keeps him a bad chick at all times! 

TWINS!

While Nick Cannon has been looking like a cancer patient lately with his bald head and pubic facial hair, he announced that he and wifey Mariah Carey are expecting twins. Congrats to the couple. I still got $100 on it that you guys will be long-term!

WEEZY GIVING BACK

Even though he says he's "not a human being," rapper Lil Wayne showed us he still has some drops of human blood in him by purchasing a wheelchair for one of his fan's mother. The fan wrote him several letters of encouragement while he was incarcerated at Rikers. People may say, "Why didn't he do more for her with all that money?" First off, I haven't heard of any rapper who's been locked down to do this for an individual. Second, the fan didn't even ask him in any of her letters to do this. He called the fan personally and asked if her family had already purchased a wheelchair for her mother because of her disability. Wayne, I know you are not human, but the ounce of human that you do have left in you, is really good. I applaud you Weezy! Click on the link below to see the fan and her mother:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBrwsIuUjtw

MORE WEEZY NEWS:
The Young Money CEO announced recently that another artist will be soon added to the Young Money roster. Delete rapper Corey Gunz out of your mind because he has been signed to Young Money for a while now. Forget Lloyd because he wanted to stay with Interscope and not go over to universal. My guess is:
That's right, Chris Breezy! And remember, I'm not confirming anything and have no idea who Wayne is talking about. But if I were to take a stab at it, it would be Chris Brown. He and Young Money artist Jae Millz recently posted a new video called "Green Goblin" together and the song goes hard! Breezy has also done other collaborations with other Young Money/Cash Money artists, including close friend Bow Wow. We'll see if I'm right or not sometime soon!

I WHIP MY HAIR BACK AND FORTH! WE DIDN'T START THE FIRE!

Looks like Diddy's "Last Train To Paris" party at Hotel London in New York got a lil' bit out of hand. Comedian Kevin Hart, R&B singer Trey Songz and others were among guests who witnessed a model's hair catch fire in the hot tub. It wasn't funny, it was very funny! I wouldn't have laughed if she was really injured. Check the clip out below:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJulfyVNu0Q

SOMEBODY PULLED A LEFT EYE ON A SHYNE'S SUV!
I don't know what happened, but somebody set Shyne's SUV on fire over in Vista Del Mar. However, Shyne was not in the SUV or even in the country. He's still over in Israel doing something (who knows). I wonder if anybody is out to get Shyne, or is this just a plain act of arson? Here's a pic of the truck below:





MS. JADE TALKIN' *ISH ABOUT MISSY AND TIMBALAND?

We all know about the recent beef between Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj. Kim claiming that Nicki is a "swagger jacker." Well, Ms. Jade, artist that used to be signed to Timbaland worked closely with Missy Elliott, claims that Missy stole her swag too! And she didn't have anything positive to say about Timbo either. My only question to this is, when was the last time you had a song released on the radio Ms. Jade? Click on the link below if you wanna hear this tom foolery:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPaGaCD14xs

IN ORDER TO STAY RELEVANT, FIRST YOU DO A DISS SONG, THEN YOU DO A VIDEO!

Speaking of swagger jacking and things, Lil Kim has decided to come out with a video to her diss song about Nicki Minaj. I'm thinking this could be a good marketing scheme for her old ass, but at the same time, this can also bury her. The positive thing is this: Kim is trying to stay in the limelight because she's in denial about being out of it. Therefore, the video will get plenty of views to make her stay afloat. The negative is this: I don't see this video being shown on BET, MTV or any other thing that Nicki has since accomplished. It's kinda like a Sandford & Son truck trying to keep up with a Lambo, not a chance. Sorry Kim, we loved you then, we love you now, but stop with this already!

WAS THE GAME GOING AT SOULJA BOY ON TWITTER?
You be the judge!


That's all I have for now! Follow me on Twitter @MrElvisFreshley or hit me up on Facebook (Mr. Pinkston) Have a good weekend!

Rapper Waka Flocka's house raided by Atlanta police, DMX heads back to prison to serve one year

Wutz good my peoples?!? I don't know where you're at, but snow and ice has taken over the KY! And speakin' of ice, lets connect that to BURR! Which can connect to Gucci Mane, who connects to Waka Floka! Get it? If you don't, then let me tell you what went down with these two in the ATL. The police raided Flocka's crib in search for drugs, weapons, and evidence of some prostitution. Flocka wasn't there at the time, but police have issued a warrant for his arrest. Gucci, who I'm guessing was apparently there, was arrested, and so were two other men who were at Flocka's crib. So with this big sting going on, all the police found were two guns, an possession of less than an ounce of weed. WTF? Gucci was released with no charges against him, but the other two men were caught the possession charges. The point of it all, NOTHING! Chances are that Waka will likely turn himself in to address the charges and be cleared. And there's one thing we know for sure.........somebody is snitching big time.










 SAD NEWS FOR X

Well it looks like the hip hop police have made their return at the end of 2010. DMX was sentenced to one year in prison in Arizona (where they make you where Pink uniforms). And what's messed up even more about it is that homie is turning 40 in two days! Word is, he was on probation for attempted aggravated assault and using a fake name to avoid paying a hospital bill. X was also set to make his comeback to the game after him and Swizz Beats hooked up again for a track. 


RAPPERS....local and nationally, please watch ya back, the hip hop police are BACK! First Lil' Wayne went in, then right when he came out, T.I. went back in, Ja Rule just got sentenced to two years, X is going back in, and they tried to catch the 1017 Bricksquad crew slippin. Can you connect the dots?

Where's Soulja Boy? Diddy speaks on Kim and Nicki Beef, Ja Rule sentenced to two years in Prison, Yo Gotti facing some serious charges and More!!!

Wutz good folks! Christmas time is near and honestly, I can't wait to be around my family for the holidays. Lord knows it's been a long year, but I have so much to be thankful for. Sorry I've been slacking a little bit. But sometimes, it's hard when you are your own number one supporter and doing a blog, mixtape, scratchin' off dead skin from a recent relationship AND....taking care of three kids. Ahhhh! Yep..that'll make ya want a vacation.


There has been a lot of celeb news going on within the past couple of months. I'm talking from leaked videos, twitter beefs, hook-ups, break ups and everything else you can imagine. It's hard to pick a starting place but the first round draft pick shall be (drum roll).........SOULJA BOY!

HAVE YOU SEEN SOULJA BOY?!?

Since releasing his latest album and selling a disappointing 14,000 copies in its first week, Soulja Boy has disappeared from twitter and other websites. The latest post I've seen was him and his chubby ass hype man/bodyguard/servant doing the stupid ass "cat daddy" dance in some sort of hotel room or something. No words, no thoughts, just dancing. Now I'm definitely not saying that this is gonna be the end of Soulja Boy. But I will say this, everybody and everything gets old at some point. I remember doing a special blog about this young guy explaining how he has transitioned from the clean cut teen everybody knew, to the Gucci Mane-like imitator who thinks he can freestyle and actually put that shit on wax. It works! But only for a while. Since him and 50 are close. Maybe 50 should tell him to take a break from albums and primarily produce until his team can come up with a better strategy. Since he's cool with Cash Money/Young Money, maybe Baby or Wayne need to tell him that he should just come out with singles, not albums. And I can honestly not blame this one on Kat Stacks. She has been well connected with other rappers in the industry and didn't hurt their marketing schemes or sales one bit. Good luck....SOLDIER! (In Soulja Boy's voice)

JA RULE GETS TWO!




It's plain and simple, if you're a rapper, DO NOT BRING GUNS TO NEW YORK OR GET EDUCATED ON THE LAWS! Even though he hasn't entertained us with his raspy rugged singing/rap voice in years since 50 closed his casket (I still like ya Ja!), he pleaded guilty to a 2007 gun charge after leaving a concert and received a two-year sentence. The ironic thing to this is, this was the same concert and the same day that Lil' Wayne got caught and took his charge, which eventually led him to spend eight months on Rikers. Are the hip hop police making a comeback? Well, the story doesn't end there. Fresh off of pleading for a two-year bid, the mc was rumored to have a twitter beef with 50 Cent after 50 tweeted some humorous comments about Ja's situation. However, we don't know how many tweets were in fact from Ja because his account got HACKED! Obviously, we knew it was hacked when he started sending messages apologizing to 50 Cent. 

GEORGE CLINTON TO SUING THE BLACK EYED PEAS



Now if you are familiar with the network TVOne's series of "Unsung," then you will understand where the creator of funk is coming from. George Clinton has been taken advantage of with his music and other artists sampling it for several years and not paying him. Well, the legend has wised up over the years and has some attorneys that are gunning for the Black Eyed Peas. The multi-million dollar lawsuit comes stems from the pop group's 2003 song "Shut Up." The suit claims that the group stole samples of Clinton's 1979 hit "Knee Deep." And that's not all, the funkmaster is claiming that someone forged his signature on a document that said it would allow the group to use it. George Clinton should be a billionaire right now if all these rappers would have paid their dues to him. Good luck George!

YO GOTTI VS. OG BOO DIRTY (THE MEMPHIS CHRONICLES)

Word is tha homie Yo Gotti is facing some serious charges after Memphis police have connected him with an altercation at a local club that left at least six people injured of gunshot wounds. He turned himself in Dec. 13. I heard this happened at a club called Level II, where Gotti and another Memphis rapper, OG Boo Dirty were exchanging words, which ended up being a brawl between both camps. This eventually led to someone pulling a gun and shooting. I don't know who this OG Boo Dirty guy is, but he must have a pretty fearful reputation around Memphis. According to the Memphis Commercial Appeal, homie is already facing two separate murder charges from September and aggravated arson. This will be interesting. I'll keep ya posted!

Here is a pic of what OG Boo Dirty looks like:

BEANIE SAYS THAT DAME STOLE $100 MILLI FROM HIM





Back when the Roc was poppin' like Death Row back in the days, Beans was my favorite comin' outta Rocafella. To see where he is now really hurts because a rapper with all his talent has been left by the waste side or either to be recycled. He has been takin' advantage of in every way. From being locked up, coming out with no record company to really come home to, his entrepreneurship stripped from him, and 50 Cent using him as a puppet to spark up his own market scheme. I hate to see Beanie like this. But you be the judge: click the link below:

DIDDY CHIMES IN ON NICKI MINAJ VS. LIL KIM (AKA Young Iron Mike Tyson vs. Old Flabby Larry Holmes)

Diddy sat down at Hot 97 with Funkmaster Flex and weighed in on the Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj fiasco. I will say that Puff made some good points. But what I can't understand is, Lil' Kim has made negative comments about you, but yet you still wanna praise her as the Queen and saying that you still love her no matter what? That must be real love Puff. But what can you say, he's Puff Daddy bitches! Click the link below:

WALE TO SIGN TO MAYBACH MUSIC?

Now I first got word of this through Wale's twitter account. I noticed numerous tweets about big plans he had coming up and then possibly signing to Rick Ross's Maybach Music Group. He has been in the studio with Ross as well, so I don't know what could come out of this. It's weird to me write now, just doesn't seem like a good fit. Kinda seems like when Bow Wow first signed to Cash Money Records. That had to wear on me a bit, but it has. So if this is true, I'm sure it will too. Good luck Wale!

F.L.Y. RECIPES (CLUB PANINI)



There's all kinds of different ways to make a club and different versions of a club sandwich. Since losing a lot of excess weight I had gained after my college days, I still like to pig out, but only in a healthier way. I love using flatbread because you get to taste the bulk of your meat and ingredients instead of a bunch of bread. I have pictured here a nice double-layer club sandwich fill with mayo, turkey, ham, bacon, lettuce and tomato. Fellaz, I would suggest eating this on a nice Sunday with lots of football games going on. Or even a Saturday for college games. Just make sure you're somewhere in a place where you can sit down and let this baby digest!

F.L.Y. POETRY (TIRED OF STRESSIN')


I'm tired of dying and coming back to the same life over and over again. 
I mean, can't this one time I have things go my way and celebrate with a win?
Or is that too much to ask based on all the stipulation,
Issues with relationships, my faith, religion and bitter ass unsuccessful people hatin'.
Whoever thought that I would put myself in this position, now I've invited all kinds of bad habits such as insomnia and drugs to come into my addiction.
I once had a woman who never really bothered to listen, that I had faults in my past, but I'm a good man now, so why the fuck is she still trippin'?
If I had good luck, I'd still be fallin', but I have bad luck so I guess I'm just slippin'. Who knows where I'll end up pimpin, maybe somewhere way on the other side where it's peaceful and no mention, of my faults, my rights, my wrongs, DAMN I'm gettin' tired of singin' the same ol' song!
The word "unhappy" has been in my vocabulary for way too long.
I'm tired, so when you close the casket this time, put the nail in the coffin. Cause rising from the dead and coming back to this bullshit happens way too often.
So many second chances we take for-granted, and when you become lost on that lonely road, life is really hard to manage.
So if I'm falling down, don't extend ya hand, I've already taken it before and done the best with it that I can.
