Seven South Carolina interns got a lengthy bid in the iron college for smuggling contraband into the iron college. Matter of fact, they lost almost every privilege in the regards to this YouTube video that surfaced on the net.
Someone filmed the interns rapping from the walls. They ended up posting their rap music video on WorldStarHipHop, a notorious celebrity agitating website.
The South Carolina Department of Corrections scrapped their recording gig.
Rapping from the walls got interns time in the hole.
This video got them more time out. They will have time in the hole. They will have a combined amount of 20 years in the hole in the wall. The hole in the wall is solidarity confinement. The SCDC came under fire for the punishment after it was revealed even longer periods of solitary confinement were given to other prisoners for using social media in the past.
The six minute video went viral.
These interns were given a combined total punishment of 7,150 days, or 19.75 years, of solitary confinement at the South Carolina Department of Corrections (SCDC). The group of men recorded the video, “I’m On,” last March
Of course, our conservative concern trolls are probably already engaging in attacking hip-hop music, BlackLivesMatter and President Barack Obama.
There's talk about a biopic about Def Jam. Rick Rubin and Russell Simmons pioneered the hip-hop label. Jay-Z signed on as an artist and distributed his independent label Roc-A-Fella and RocNation through Def Jam.
Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin created the legendary Def Jam Recordings in 1983.
Now there's talk about a movie being made in regards to it.
Michael B. Jordan and Jonah Hill are considering the roles.
Def Jam was founded by Rick Rubin in his dormitory in Weinstein Hall at New York University.
Russell Simmons joined Rubin shortly after they were introduced to each other by Vincent Gallo.
They would create on of the world's powerful hip-hop labels. The Def Jam umbrella includes Island Records and the legendary Motown Records. Each of these label operate as a separate entity under the Universal Music Group.
The last movie based on the rise of Def Jam was Krush Groove. The movie was a semi-biopic of Russell Simmons rise to media mogul.
Deadline reports that Universal is working to develop a movie based on the 2002 memoir of Def Jam co-founder Russell Simmons, “Life and Def: Sex, Drugs, Money, + God.”
The label that created Run DMC, Public Enemy, EMPD, LL Cool J, Rick Ross, Ludacris, 3rd Bass, The Beastie Boys, 2 Chainz, DMX, Jeezy, Ne-Yo, Rihanna, Iggy Azalea and Jay-Z.
The film would chronicle Simmons’ and Rubin’s creation of the legendary hip hop label that defined rap in the 80s. The pic is expected to “explore how hip hop grew from an underground sensation into a dominant and pivotal voice of culture and change.”
Russell has expressed that he is flattered that Michael B. Jordan is being considered to portray him in the pic, as Global Grind reports.

There's talk about Eminem reissuing his rare debut album Infinite.
Infinite is raw uncut and underground Detroit hip-hop.
Eminem, basically known as M&M at the time release his debut album out the trunk of his car.
The album is hard to find (unless you get it off the torrents). The album is just a cassette tape.
The album had 11 tracks. It is a decent album. Raw hip-hop. Em wanted to make the album "radio friendly" and try to push it into Detroit radio stations. He couldn't make a break because he was a White rapper.
Before he signed to Interscope and became the world's best rapper, Eminem was Marshall Bruce Mathers III, a struggling single parent trying to find a place.
In 1996. Em was working a fast food joint in Detroit and doing freestyle rapping on the side. He decided to use his skills as a lyricist and save enough of his paychecks to release an album. He teamed up with the Bass Brothers and Denaun Porter (aka Mr. Porter/Kon Artis) to release the raw Em.
Em cites the album's influence to AZ, a Queens based rapper who told stories about the struggle. The album received mixed reviews. Many said while his style was true, it wasn't unique.
Rare album may be released this year.
Em would recruit his friend Paul Rosenberg who was working at Goliath Artists to help him get his music out into the mainstream.
So he would release The Slim Shady EP and that ended up landing in Jimmy Iovine's office.
Iovine wanted to create a superstar. He asked Dr. Dre if he was interested in working with Eminem.
The good doctor said "let get to work!."
Eminem would sign to Aftermath in 1998 and release the commercial debut The Slim Shady LP in 1999. That album would sell 8 million copies and launched his career as one of the most famous rappers in the genre.
And of course, his legacy as the greatest rapper comes with controversy. Many critics think Em's lyrics encouraged drug use and criminal deviancy. Some complained that his lyrics were homophobic, sexist, misogynistic, anti-cop, anti-establishment. Even some rappers were concerned that his music destroys hip-hop.
Em ignored the critics and kept the music going. And for that he's earned that success.
Denaun Porter was on a radio show recently. This interview with “The Cypher,” Porter was asked about whether the album will ever be re-released.The only thing that stops the release is the ongoing feud with his former record label.
“That might have a lot to do with the Bass Brothers,” Porter said, citing Mark and Jeff Bass who released the effort through their Web Entertainment imprint in the mid-’90s. “If they were to release that right now, they would have to pay me a grip. I got screwed around way early messing around with them dudes. I don’t know what they’re doing right now, but it seems like it’s something that should happen.”
While Porter said he’d be down for a reissue, he also explained that he’d prefer if Em’s manager, lawyer and friend Paul Rosenberg handled it.
WEB Entertainment still owns the rights to most of Eminem's albums and they are the ones who can clear Infinite for a full release.
“Paul is more creative when it comes to how to do that sh-t,” he explained. “If [the Bass Brothers] did it themselves, they would have to do it in a special way because that’s a special project. For whatever reason, a lot of these younger kids, I think they gravitate towards that retro sound. It was a dope album.”
If you're interested in more Em, don't forget to get the soundtrack to the movie Southpaw. It is executive produced by Eminem and it's released on Shady/Interscope.
Also The Marshall Mathers LP 2 is out on Aftermath/Shady/WEB Entertainment/Interscope.
Overtime play for Jayecon Taylor. The rapper is releasing The Documentary 2 to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of his mainstream album The Documentary.
Fuck 50, I don't need ya broke ass on my album, ha ha!
This is what Game would say to his former friend 50 Cent. After 50 Cent revealed he filed for bankruptcy after being hit with a massive lawsuit, Game would taunt the media mogul for causing the mess that landed all of the Unit on the indie scene.
See as the Unit, the rappers had an opportunity to make $$$$$$$$$ on Interscope Records.
50 introduced the world to Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, Young Buck and The Game. Each of them gain name recognition for their gangsta cred, guns, their hoes and their egos.
All of that was exposed when 50 fired Game out the cannon. Although I don't believe either 50 or Game's reasons to the fall out, I think it had to do with 50's claim of ghostwriting lyrics for seven singles on the album. I also speculate that the two have tried to release their albums in the same period causing a rift between their boss Dr. Dre and chief Jimmy Iovine. Game's crew swamped celebrity agitator Funkmaster Flex's Hot 97 office after hearing the news.
This event gotten so bad a person was injured. Iovine ordered Game and 50 to make peace or face a cannon firing. They did it in front of cameras. But the truce was short lived. Game would release 300 Bars and destroy the credibility of his old group and the Interscope bosses.
Part II
He would release five albums since his departure from the Unit. Interscope fired him out the cannon in 2013 after the final mainstream release Jesus Piece flopped.
As an independent artist, Game can put out whatever bullshit he thinks he can sale. Matter of fact, did you know he released his sixth album Blood Moon Year of the Wolf last year?
Nope. Many haven't and it only sold less than 45,000 units.
Game still hoping to bring the magic back. In 2014, he appeared with Dr. Dre and Ice Cube for the filming of Straight Outta Compton. They posed together. It gave speculation to Game hopping back into the studio with the good doctor.
Now like the good doctor, Game decides to put his seventh album out this year. The good doctor invited his old labelmate on the Compton album.
Product of Compton.
Game was hoping to score a beat or verse from the good doctor in return. He also hoping that he finally end the bitter feud between him and 50.
Game has ended feuds with Buck and Banks.
50 and Yayo are still committed to not working with the rapper.
The Documentary 2 is a sequel to the 2005 mainstream album release of The Documentary. The album was executive produced by the good doctor and 50. The album went on to serve up 4 million units sold.
The singles that are released to the mainstream include 100 featuring Drake and Ryda with Detroit rapper Dej Loaf.
Game is hoping to have Dr. Dre's beats on at least some of his album. That's to be determined.
Game is known to stretch the truth a lot. He said he was resigning back to Aftermath and that didn't happen. He said that he will reunite with the Unit. That didn't happen. He said that he will sign to Cash Money/Young Money records. Nope that was bust. He said that he will be releasing his album with all Dre production. That didn't happen. He said the feud with 50 Cent was over. Not quite.
Game and 50's egos are the reason for the downfall of their careers. No surprise though!
Also Game has a reality television show coming this fall. No surprise there.
Entertainers Ja Rule, 50 Cent, Drake and Meek Mill are feuding.
The Drake and Meek Mill feud may have started up another.
When Meek went into the final verse of his panned Wanna Know, he mentioned that this that Ja Rule and 50 Cent shit. Basically he said this feud will become physical if Drake goes near Philadelphia.
Ja went to social media to pan Meek's diss and remind his fans that he sold millions of albums and has the money to prove it. That's a knock to 50 declaring bankruptcy. He also stressed that nobody should be hurt in these rap feuds.
50 got wind of it and kindly remind his fans (or whoever would listen) that Ja got his ass tore up.
50 said that Ja would face another beat down.
And it's like a repeat of the same shit all over again for two longtime rappers. These Queens-based rappers are back burning each other. From social media to the studio, these two are back at it again!
Ja Rule (Jeffrey Atkins) and 50 Cent (Curtis Jackson) reignited the feud they've started nearly 15 years ago. But who's listening to them?
They are both off the major labels. They have no label home and their shit ain't popping in the clubs anymore. They both seen the cannon fire them out. Def Jam fired Ja out the cannon after he was defeated by 50. Ja struggled to keep the magic going despite taking a "L" in this battle. Def Jam fired him out the cannon in 2007. The cannon was looking elsewhere. It seems despite having the world's best debut album, 50 saw his stock slide fast. I mean he was dogging on Ja for doing songs dancing with Ashanti. What the heck was he doing when he released Candy Shop? Interscope fired 50 out the cannon after he refused to change an album he wanted to push out so badly.
It's like Back to the Future. This old feud is like, old....
Seems like some things never change.
MTV caught a picture of them embracing one another. At first I thought it was joke, but it was true.
50 Cent was boarding a flight and saw Ja Rule on it. They did a picture for the fan.
Meek Mill's feud with Drake got ugly. Drake lined up two. Meek lined up one. Some are saying Meek better catch up. Some say that the 6-God buried Meek.
The feud continues. 6-God laid two hammers and nailed it. He aimed at Meek Mill.
The feud started when Meek laid a bombshell on the public. He criticized Drake for having a ghostwriter in the studio. He also blasted him for not promoting his second album.
Drake was not taking that accusation well. So he went into the studio and let him have it.
The first single Charge Up was a light tap but it was a hammer ringer. That was the sample of what Drake had coming to Meek. I mean I was somewhat alright to it.
But the next song Back-to-Back went hard. It went viral and it almost felt like Eminem destroying Benzino. I've listened to it and I said, damn he hit him harder than I've thought!
[Intro]
Oh man, oh man, oh man, not again
[Verse]
Yeah, I learned the game from William Wesley

I took a break from Views, now it's back to that, nigga
Meek teased the fans with a taste of his response. He mocked Drake's singles for being "baby lotion" soft and "lol" his rhyme style. Meek even mocked the fact that this diss came without his ghostwriter.
So few days later, Meek Mill responded back with a single Wanna Know. The single aimed at Drake and it has his alleged ghostwriter and Diddy on it. It also mocked the rapper for being a rap Milli Vanilli.
[Intro]
I just wanna know how niggas going to jail Telling on niggas, coming back home and it still being cool I just wanna know how a nigga on Instagram and Twitter with fifty thousand followers Ain’t got no money in real life, but still popping, I just wanna know I wanna know, if a nigga ain’t really putting it in, but acting like he putting it in Niggas still letting it fly like it’s cool, I really wanna know man This shit getting different out here it’s getting spooky

[Outro] You let Tip homie piss on you in a movie theater nigga, we ain’t forget Real niggas back in style this shit is lit This that Ja Rule shit and 50 Cent
Many rap fans went right for the bell and said that Drake laid the hammer. The hammer went through the board and Meek got hurt. Critics says that Meek didn't live up to the challenge.
So Meek is determined to go back into the studio to lay a harder rhyme. It's reported that he's releasing another one in the coming days.
So the social media went crazy on it. Automatically the stans say it's a no question, Drake won.
The Daily Beast is spreading a rumor. It's reported that Meek and Nicki Minaj broke up. I am not confirming this. Meek put a ring on it earlier this year. They're engaged. Nicki stayed out of it for the most part. It's true that the 6-God is friends with Roman Zolanski, and they defend each other.
When Lil' Kim went at Nicki, Drake went right to defense of her. He said that Kim need to retire the hardcore and stick to being washed up.
Okay, judge for yourself which rapper had the juice!
50 Cent tells the junk food media that he got played.
The controversy surrounding 50 Cent filing for bankruptcy has the nation talking.
How could one of the world's richest hip-hop musicians be broke?
He done a few appearances. He started his own television programs called Dream School and Power.
50 Cent appeared in the movie Spy and Southpaw.
He investing in clothes, vitamin water, mining, movies and boxing. All of that went bust.
Curtis Jackson, 40 turned the page of hip-hop. The media mogul and rapper has finally hit rock bottom. He testified in court saying to the world that all the glory is a farce.
He manufactured a rich lifestyle. He borrowed jewelry, vehicles, and friends. I guess all that fame got to his head and got reckless.
I mean his rise was putting out mixtapes. When Eminem heard this mixtape he wanted the rapper to be on his 8 Mile Soundtrack. 50 Cent agreed to it. So he signed to Shady Records and Aftermath Entertainment in 2002.
50's rise was his studio debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin'. There were seven singles on that album and it helped it sold 8.4 million units. It earned him a Grammy nomination.
Wanksta. P.I.M.P., 21 Questions, If I Can't, Many Man (Wish Death) and the smash hit In Da Club propelled 50 Cent into the mainstream.
He would engage in feud with Ja Rule. The rapper's feud with Ja Rule was a money maker for him.
Ja Rule was an in demand rapper at the time. Everyone wanted to be associated with the gruffy voice rapper. But 50, went into Ja's weakness, his crossover to pop friendly songs. 50 Cent targeted Ja Rule dancing with R&B singer Ashanti's music video. He called Ja Rule a phony gangsta.
Ja Rule fought back with the help of The Source. Ja tried to publish an order of protection warrant on the internet to make it seem like 50 Cent was afraid to face him in public. The Source ran anti-50 articles question his rise and his association to Eminem. Interscope pulled all advertising from the magazine.
The XXL a rival magazine won the attention by hosting 50 Cent, Eminem and Dr. Dre. It helped XXL beat The Source. The magazine gave 50 Cent more attention and it helped him build an empire.
50 Cent would sign his neighborhood friends Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks to G-Unit, the rapper's start up label. Interscope would promote these acts. He would later sign Young Buck and Game to the G-Unit.
50 Cent's downfall began when he got into it with some of his acts. Game, who was also signed to Aftermath wasn't interesting in feuding with rappers got fired out the cannon. Game would launch this ongoing and worthless feud with 50. This feud is still going on.
50 Cent released The Massacre. It did well but it lacked the touch. People criticized him for the song Candy Shop. They criticized him for doing the Ja Rule thing. The rapper's album went on to sell 6 million copies.
50's two other albums Curtis and When I Self Destruct were successful but harshly criticized for lacking the mojo of his last two albums. The album Street King Immortal was supposed to be a final album before retirement. So 50 wanted to push this album fast. Interscope told him to fall back.
Well we know that 50 Cent broke ties with Interscope after he got into it with them over the handling of his album. The album Street King Immortal wasn't up to Dr. Dre and Eminem standards so they told him to rework it.
50 Cent said nope, I'm not doing this shit. I'm done.
Then 50 Cent left Interscope leaving the label he signed on for over 10 years. He calls the G-Unit now The Unit. He created a social media network called ThisIs50 and then went to celebrity agitation.
He engaged in this feud with Rick Ross. So this feud 50 and Rozay created was to generate sales.
50 got reckless and wanted to question the gangsta of Rozay. He published the correctional officer photos and released a sex tape of his ex-wife having sex with an associate of Rozay's.
That tape leaked and that lead to a lawsuit. This year, 50 Cent owes $5 million in damages for releasing it on his social media network.
50 decided to fall back and file for broke. I am guessing falling broke could backfire on him.
He already owes $20 million for his Slump Audio fall and the lawsuit against his ex-girl for trashing her home. He owes child support for his two children.
His own son disowns him and the mother of his daughter wants him to be around.
More details involving death of rapper Hussein Fatal.
A drunk driver was responsible for the death of rapper Hussein Fatal, a member of The Outlawz.
The Outlawz were Tupac Shakur's rap group. They assisted the late rapper in his numerous feuds with hip-hop artists. Some notable rappers were the Notorious B.I.G. and Jay-Z.
Hussein Fatal was killed last week and no details weren't released until late Friday.
Bruce Washington, Jr. was his government name. He was with girlfriend Zenetta Yearby when this accident occurred. I guess they had a lot of the drink in their system.
Yearby was the driver of a Dodge Challenger and she was the sole survivor of this incident. She was driving near Gainsville, GA, a 45 minute drive from Atlanta.
They were doing 120 on Interstate 85. The speed limit in Georgia suburbs is 70.
So she was weaving through traffic and I guess she over corrected and the car flipped. The impact ejected the rapper. The rapper was killed on impact. He wasn't wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash.
She survived with cuts and bruises. But as soon as they gave her the test, she failed and the cuffed her.
Yearby is still in the Banks County lockup. She's facing a vehicular homicide charges. These charges along could carry LIFE in the iron college.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Hussein Fatal.
At the peak of the 50 Cent/Rick Ross feud, the media mogul told the junk food media he had dirt on Rozay's baby mamas. He even went as far to record a diss called Tia Told Me aiming at Rozay.
One of Rozay's baby mamas was none to kind to 50 after he leaked a sex tape of her. Now it has the media mogul owing up a lot of slow doe! ThisIs50 social media website leaked out the sex tape of Lastonia Leviston and her boyfriend doing the nasty.
Leviston scored a payday. The U.S. District Court ordered Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson to pay up for defamation of character and invasion of privacy. Matter of fact, the court will order him to pay up punitive damages.
Lastonia Leviston
The AP reported that 50 acquired a video she made with her boyfriend, added himself as a crude commentator and posted it online without her permission.
And the Manhattan jurors are set to continue deliberating next week on possible further, punitive damages in Lastonia Leviston's invasion-of-privacy lawsuit against the multi-platinum selling "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" artist.
Attorney William A. Brewer III says 50 Cent and his legal team are "disappointed in the verdict but very appreciative of the service of the jury and the court." Leviston's lawyer, Philip Freidin, declined to comment on the award, first reported by the Daily News of New York.
The lawsuit stems from a 13-minute video that appeared online in 2009 featuring a wig-wearing 50 Cent as a narrator dubbed Pimpin' Curly. The character made explicit remarks about Leviston and taunted rap rival Rick Ross, who wasn't in the video but has a daughter with Leviston. At the time the video surfaced, Ross and 50 Cent were trading barbs via video, lyrics and interviews.
50 Cent got the 2008 tape from the man in it, Leviston's boyfriend at the time. The rapper and his lawyers said that 50 Cent didn't actually post the video but that Leviston's then-boyfriend said she wouldn't mind if he did, and he thought that would suffice.
The Pimpin' Curly character was just "joking" by referring to Leviston as a "porn star," 50 Cent said during sworn pre-trial questioning that was played for the jury, according to news reports. He didn't testify at the trial.
But Leviston, of Pembroke Pines, Florida, said she was horrified and humiliated when the video appeared online.
"This was something done to me. I didn't have a choice. I would never, ever do this to myself," she testified, according to news reports.
50 burst to the fore of gangsta rap with 2003's "Get Rich or Die Tryin,'" its lead single, "In Da Club," and a tough life story that included being shot nine times.
50 now celebrates his birthday cutting a check. The rapper just turned 40 this month and was getting ready for his premiere of Southpaw. I guess he'll be bumming money from some of his entourage.
50 just recently filed for bankruptcy after this deal. He was once worth $165 million in sales, now I am not even sure if 50 has at least a $10 million in the bank.
I remember that 50 clowned on Young Buck when he had to file for the bankruptcy. I remember 50 clowned on Game when he was caught up in fiscal problems. 50 even laughed when his old producer Scott Storch burned his fortunes on snow!
Now it seems like 50 finally hit rock bottom.
50 as Pimpin' Curly.
He's no longer putting hits on the radio. He got into a hissy fit with Jimmy Iovine over the handling of his album. He bounced from Interscope and lost all the A-game production from long time friends Eminem and Dr. Dre.
He reunited The Unit after they broke up. They release a few mixtapes and digital album. They flopped. The fans asked 50 to end the feud with Game. 50 said no to that bum Nigga.
Now Game can finally claim victory. Even though Game is struggling in his fortunes, at least he doesn't have to file for bankruptcy like Buck and 50.
It seems like it comes full circle for Rozay and 50.
They both share something in common. Both are celebrity agitators and phony gangstas. They spend money like it was nothing. Now they've ran up the check.
Rozay already facing charges ranging from kidnapping, unlawful detainment and aggravated assault.
He could face up to 30 years in the iron college if he's found guilty. Rozay had to have his passport revoked and home confiscated.
Bruce Washington Jr. known as Hussein Fatal was killed in an accident over the weekend. World News Today send our condolences to the family of the Bruce Washington, Jr.
The Outlawz (formerly known as Tha Outlaw Immortalz or Dramacydal) helped propel Tupac Shakur's controversial rise to fame.
They were featured on The Don Killuminati; 7 Day Theory and Still I Rise albums in which it aimed a numerous rappers who Shakur singled out.
The group released their debut album Ride wit Us or Collide wit Us in 2002.
The group also posted on their official social media accounts confirming the lost.
Rest in Paradise our brother Hussein Fatal he passed away in a car accident. Pray for his family & kids at this time! pic.twitter.com/dK2GS1N0ns
Hussein Fatal began his rapping career when he was dope boy. He was dealing in drugs at a very young age and also attended the same school as fellow Outlawz member, Yafeu Fula, better known by his stage name, Yaki Kadafi. Fula informed Washington that he personally knew Tupac Shakur, but Washington didn't believe him until Fula's mother informed him that they were going to visit Shakur in jail.
When they went to visit him in jail, Washington performed a freestyle rap for Shakur. Shakur was pleased with Washington's lyrical abilities and promptly added him to his newly founded hip hop group, Outlaw Immortalz. In keeping with the Outlaw Immortalz's "tyrant" theme, Shakur endowed Washington with the stage name "Hussein Fatal", after then-Ba'athist Iraqi president Saddam Hussein.
Tupac Shakur was murdered in Las Vegas after a Mike Tyson fight. The shooting remains unsolved. On September 6, 1996, the rapper and media mogul Big Suge (Marion Knight) were riding in their vehicle on the Las Vegas Strip when another vehicle pulled up next to them, the gunmen opened fire on them. Shakur would die of his injuries on September 13, 1996.
Hussein Fatal and Yaki Kadafi would be in the entourage vehicle when they witnessed the shooting.
The Outlawz last album release.
Yaki Kadafi would be gunned down in an apartment complex in New Jersey.
The Outlawz were without a leader. They briefly broke up after Big Suge stiff them out of royalties.
At the peak of Shakur's career, there were over 10 members of the group. The group would dissolve to at least four and most recently before Hussein Fatal's death, three.
Makaveli (Tupac Shakur) was the leader of the group, and gave himself the name of Makaveli after the Italian political philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli, whose writings inspired Shakur in prison.
Yaki Kadafi (Yafeu Fula), also known as Young Hollywood, Killer Kadafi and The Prince, was given the name Yaki Kadafi after Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. He was also Shakur's godbrother and an original member of Dramacydal.
Kastro (Katari Cox), also known as K-Dog, was given the alias Kastro after Cuban leader Fidel Castro. He is also a blood cousin of Shakur and an original member of Dramacydal.
E.D.I. Mean (Malcolm Greenridge), also known as Big Malcolm, was given the alias E.D.I. (aka EDIDON) after Ugandan president Idi Amin and was also an original member of Dramacydal.
Hussein Fatal (Bruce Washington), introduced to Yildirum by childhood friend Yaki Kadafi, was given the alias after former leader of Iraq Saddam Hussein. Hussein left the group after the killings of Tupac Shakur and Yafeu Fula. He felt that the remaining group members were going against Shakur's wishes by signing contracts with Death Row. He more recently rejoined the Outlawz, which then comprised him, Young Noble and E.D.I.
Napoleon (Mutah Beale), childhood friend of Kadafi, was given the name Napoleon after French military leader Napoleon Bonaparte and was also an original member of Dramacydal. Napoleon left the group to be a Muslim motivational speaker.
Moozaliny (Tyruss Himes), also known as Big Syke who was in Shakur's previous group Thug Life, joined the Outlawz and Makaveli gave him the name Moozaliny after Italian dictator Benito Mussolini.
Komani (Mopreme Shakur), Tupac Shakur's stepbrother, who was in Shakur's previous group Thug Life, joined the Outlawz under the alias Komani after the Iranian political figure Ruhollah Khomeini.
Storm (Donna Harkness), The only female member of the group, met Shakur during the shooting of a film. After he found out how well she could rap, he immediately signed her on the spot and added her to the group, which later became known as The Outlaw Immortalz. Storm was to be a solo artist for Shakur's record label. She was introduced on the multi-platinum selling album All Eyez on Me.
Young Noble (Rufus Cooper III), the last official Outlaw member by Shakur himself. He was introduced to Tupac by Kadafi and Hussein Fatal in Los Angeles, a few months before his death. He appeared in many of Shakur's last recordings, and featured heavily on Shakur's last album The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory. He was always known as Young Noble and was never given an alias from Shakur.
The Outlawz were briefly signed Cashville Records. The label was founded by The Unit member Young Buck. When Buck was feuding with 50 Cent over royalties, the rapper was eager to sign The Outlawz to The Unit under the its South wing.
Buck launched Cashville Records and recorded a mixtape with The Outlawz and C-Bo. The Outlawz would leave the label in 2012 and begin their own label called 1Nation Entertainment.
The world's most dangerous drug lord is a legend. Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzeman busted out of a federal time out and is likely to escape capture again.
The infamous drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzeman Loera busted out of a Mexican time out. He's back on the streets and he's got a plan! This plan is to escape the law. El Chapo managed to escape through the showers through a man-made tunnel. He got on a motorcycle and rode through the tunnel for a mile before escaping through a vacant property. The Mexican government is looking into a handful of interns and workers who may have aided the escape.
The Mexican government, Interpol, the FBI, and U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency are actively searching for the elusive drug kingpin. They call Guzeman the Osama bin Laden of the drug game.
There's a $20 million Mexican peso bounty on his head. There's a $5 million U.S. dollar bounty on his head.
The United States offered to put "El Chapo" in the Florence Hell House. Mexico turned it down.
The Florence Hell House is located in Colorado. It is a Supermax that holds interns who are deemed too dangerous to the society. ADX Florence is in Fremont County, Colorado and it's a federal time out that voids escape attempts.
Some of the most famous interns include
Eric Rudolph (Olympic Park Bomber)
Terri Nichols (Oklahoma City Bomber)
Robert Hanssen (FBI turncoat)
Zacarias Moussoui (9/11 Plotter)
Ramzi Yousef (World Trade Center Bomber)
Richard Reid (Shoe Bomber)
Umar Farrok Abdulmutallab (Underwear Bomber)
Ted Kacyznski (Uni-Bomber)
Faisal Shahzad (Time Square Bomber)
Larry Hoover (Crip Leader)
O.G. Mack (Blood Leader)
Matt Hale (White extremist)
Richard McNair (Escaped Federal Time Out Twice)
If he's caught in the United States, they will haul him into Florence!
El Chapo is has an estimated $1 billion in net worth. He's the O.G. of the Sinola Cartel.
The Sinola Cartel is an international drug trafficking, money laundering, and organized crime syndicate founded by Guzeman and his partners Ismael Zambada García and Ignacio Coronel Villareal.
The smack man.....
Donald Trump is really having a great week for agitation. He's been on the rise in polls. His in your face rhetoric has sparked a rise in his polls among the clowns running for the red nose. Right now he's either leading or tied with the Bush or the Walker.
The pro-nationalist stance being promoted by the media mogul has gravitated his ratings.
Republicans fear that he's damaging their "Rainbow Coalition".
But with the recent shooting of a woman by an undocumented worker and then El Chapo's escape from the time out, Donald Trump got his "I told you so" moment.
DMX is sweating. The veteran rapper back in county lockup for some form of stupidity.
Earl Simmons is still a dog on the loose and the pound about to neuter him.
According to Wikipedia, Simmons is a product of his environment.
I miss them days when he was the biggest thing that came off Def Jam Records.
DMX as he's professionally known was a member of the Ruff Ryders. He, Eve, Swizz Beatz, Jadakiss and his group The Lox were the biggest acts during the late 1990s until 2005.
X and his crew were selling hits. But their egos, the law and canceling tours have damaged their reputations. Now people aren't rocking Ruff Ryders.
The mixtape circuit is the only thing that keeps Jadakiss relevant. The others decided to make families and semi-retire from the music. Eve is focused on acting and is married to billionaire mogul Max Cooper. Swizz Beatz divorced his former wife and went on to marry pop singer Alicia Keys.
X on the other hand, is trying to find Black Jesus.
X is still having trouble with the law and is on the verge of being put in the pound for LIFE.
Last time I've talked about X, he was getting in trouble for armed robbery of a fan. Now I hear that he's back in county lockup for missing child support for the seven children (or twelve). I lost count.
Since he's no longer rocking with Def Jam, he's having trouble trying to push out albums.
So I guess with the money making in the dirt, X has blown money fast. He recently filed for bankruptcy after complaining about his child support.
The courts ain't buying that excuse. The law put the muzzle on X after he came to town. He was suppose to perform at Radio City. Alas, his habits of canceling shows continues.
He said those included $400,000 worth of unpaid child support, a warrant issued by the city of White Plains for bail jumping and a robbery complaint out of Newark, New Jersey. No charges have been filed in the Newark case.
A management company that has represented DMX did not immediately return an email seeking comment from The Associated Press.
The biggest concern troll to ever exist in the media complains about the Confederate flag. He calls hip-hop music and rapper Jay-Z racist.
Republican governors Nikki Haley, Robert Bentley, Phil Bryant, Bill Haslam, and Democratic governor Terry McAuliffe heard the call and they're listening. They are calling for state lawmakers to remove all traces of the Confederacy.
Of course a huge moment in American history becomes a partisan event. Some conservatives are pissed that the Republicans coward to political correctness. Some are pointing out the entertainment industry for being "racist". Some are finding their outrage at President Barack Obama, Hillary and Bill Clinton.
After all, what major event wouldn't include these guys?
The biggest concern troll to ever exist in the media is going after hip-hop in defense of the Confederate flag.
Sean Hannity, the most annoying conservative agitator to ever be on television and radio went right into his attack of hip-hop music. He singled out Jay-Z, Ludacris, Snoop Dogg, and 50 Cent (who Hannity pronounced Fiddi) for promoting the NIGGA and BITCHES in the albums.
Hence forth, they're entertainers and there not elected officials. They don't have radio shows which promote speech most considered controversial. They just put it on albums and sale the edited songs on the public airwaves.
Okay, you have to be over 17 years old to purchase an explicit hip-hop, rock and raunchy comedian's album.
I bet the fool didn't realized that the Parental Advisory was a theme of his extremists buddies when it came to promoting music they deemed violent. That means nothing to the conservative agitator.
Why does every event in America drives this stupid concern trolling?
A White terrorist causes a mass murder embraced the Confederate flag, got his talking points from outlets like this annoying conservative agitator's program and spent a majority trolling the internet with inflammatory rhetoric. It happens to be this fool Hannity rushing to defend a symbol of a failed legacy and country. A symbol that embraces White extremism.
For you see, Hannity picks his talking points from the conservative Craigslist. This is likely where this agitator got his rant from. He is reading that Walmart, Sears, Amazon and other outlets are pushing out the flag on their websites. Anything that affiliates with the Confederate flag is scrubbed.
Now all of a sudden, rappers are singled out. I know that Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg and 50 Cent skirted lockup and the iron college. They got great lawyers and their images makes $$$$$$. Ludacris isn't that type of crowd. He is a entertainer who raps, sings and acts. He's a married man and is a responsible father to children. I haven't heard of a felony committed by Luda. So what's the point of throwing him into this rant?
For one thing, I think this conservative agitator is jealous of Jay-Z and Beyonce. He bitches about him and more then the others. He started the feud with the Carters after they inspired fans to support President Barack Obama during his reelection bid.
Ludacris performs with Snoop Dogg and Nelly.
He got his nerve to call him a "former crack dealer". Yeah, a former crack dealer who turned his life around and became a business mogul. A man who can say he owned a sports team, an alcoholic beverage, a clothing company, and a handful of record labels. A man who has a beautiful wife and daughter. A man who makes over $1 billion.
Way more than the old fart Hannity!
And speaking of racist associations, Mr. Hannity has a lot of dirty laundry. Hal Turner and Cliven Bundy are Hannity's buddies.
The silly agitator wanted to get involved with a rancher who failed to pay his land fees. Hannity devoted his program and offered support to Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy. Later in the week, Bundy went on a racial diatribe about the NEGROS being better off picking cotton than getting government assistance.
Hannity bailed out on Bundy. He canceled his trip to Las Vegas after hearing Bundy's rants.
Hannity is a guy who once invited a White extremist named Hal Turner to his television program.
Turner who is in federal time out for threatening a federal judge would be willing to spill the beans about his buddy. Obviously Turner is a rat. He ratted out White supremacists for immunity from a 40 year time out.
Jay-Z said, [Beyonce] makes more money than most of you fools!
Maybe piss poor Sean Hannity wants a piece of that action.
I predict in a few years, the cannon will be firing him out!
All this name calling, name dropping, partisan dog piling, disrespecting guest because of disagreements, ongoing guilt by association obsession and his pathetic shout fest programs are some of the reasons to why I expect Sean Hannity to be fired out the cannon.
Mediaite will likely be nominating him once again as the world's worst cable news host. He seems to be right on track with this. I've mention this cat over 300 times and it seems like it's not getting any better.
I promise if I keep posting more stories involving him, I swear that I will devote a whole blog to him. I might call it "Whine Hannity".
Last year, famed comedian Tracy Morgan was on the Turnpike in New Jersey in his tour van. It was a dark night and traffic was light. There was construction on the turnpike and the van slows down.
All of sudden, this semi-truck slams right into the van. It crushes the van like a tin can. In the vehicle was Tracy, his manager, his mentor James McNair and bodyguard.
Bad wreck left Tracy Morgan hurt badly.
While his manager and bodyguard escape severe injuries, Tracy was hurt badly. He suffered a broken leg, broken ribs, a broken nose, and brain swelling. It traumatized him. He's slowly regaining his walking but is forever ruined by this experience.
So today in federal court, Morgan brought the truck driver's employer to court. The company that employed the driver is the world's largest retail store. Yup, Walmart.
Kevin Roper mugshot in county lockup.
Walmart reached a settlement with Morgan after last year's deadly crash.
The driver Kevin Roper was fired out the cannon. He got served with vehicular homicide and failure to control. He's awaiting trial. If found guilty, Roper gets 30 in the iron college.
Walmart CEO Greg Foran also released a statement today to offer his sympathies to everyone involved in the accident. “While we know there is nothing that can change what happened, Walmart has been committed to doing what’s right,” he sad. “We are pleased to have reached an amicable settlement that ends this litigation. We are deeply sorry that one of our trucks was involved.”
Of course, Foran had a lot of sympathies to give. This two employees were shot by a crazed gunman. Marcell Willis, a U.S. Air Force officer went into in a Grand Forks Walmart and opened fire on two workers. He didn't know them or had any issue with them.. One worker was killed in this another is fighting for life.
World News Today send our prayers to Tracy Morgan. We also send our condolences to James McNair, Gregory Weiland and Lisa Braun. These were the victims in the Grand Forks Walmart shooting.
Straight out of the LBC, Snoop Dogg has already brought his star power to the presidential election.
As he was talking to the junk food media about his album release and his potential role in the N.W.A. bio-pic. He decided to roll one up for Hillary Clinton.
He's not the only rapper to endorse the former Secretary of State.
You got Atlanta's wild man Waka Flocka. I believe he's the first rapper to publicly come out in support of Hillary Clinton.
You got 50 and his old rival Ja Rule endorsing her. These two put aside their differences in 2013.
Conservatives are as usual pissed off that she's getting a fair share of endorsements from "THUGS".
Thug is the new NIGGER for the racist right. They can't fathom being called racist. They believe that if you twist NIGGER to THUG, then its "not racist". It's basically saying these entertainers are criminals or potential criminals. So according to them, it's not really racist.
The conservatives despise the hip-hop community. They believe that the music endorses sexism, violence and anti-cop rhetoric.
Things that make conservative cry hypocrisy towards Hillary Clinton. They believe that she's using her position as a woman to win "feminist" votes. The conservatives believe Blacks are slaves to the Democratic Party. In their mindsets, they believe Blacks are poor, lazy, uneducated and potential criminals. They think that every police shooting of an unarmed suspect is justified. No matter what the situation.
Hip-hop celebs endorse Hillary. 50 Cent, Ja Rule, Snoop Dogg and Waka Flocka have came out for her.
And since the Republican Party embraces conservatism, the party suffers a lack of votes because in the minds of Black voters, they're too ideology rigid. They have no place for Black voters.
Yeah, there may be some Black, Hispanic and other races who embrace conservatism and the Republicans, but there considered "tone deaf" or the "crazy uncle" at the family reunion.
We don't call Black Republicans "UNCLE TOMS". We call them that "CRAZY FAMILY MEMBER" who we try not to engage conversation with.
As black-ish explained it: Republicans, we just don't do that!
Damn, Stallmigo Marco Rubio (R-FL) is running too. He's a big fan of hip-hop. He loves Big Snoop, 50 Cent, Lil' Wayne and Wiz Khalifa. But I guess that "R" on his chest keep the rappers away from him.
Hillary Clinton is still not inspiring to me. I don't know why?
Hillary grinding when she was Secretary of State.
I think she's a great candidate for the Democrats. But somehow, whenever they run perennial candidates against a newcomer, I believe the newcomer will always win.
Nonetheless, the obsession with her is too much for me to stomach. We know a majority of Republicans and conservatives hate her and Bill Clinton. All this talk about everyone and anyone associated with her, Benghazi and her emails are distractions. They are not issues about the economy, national security and infrastructure.
The Republican candidates suck so much, they're hoping that they can murky the waters so much they'll make Hillary uninspiring. They know she's the only potential threat to Republicans. If they can bitch and whine so much about her, they'll try to keep Democrats away from the ballot box.
They hate President Barack Obama way more than her. So you know they're going to use him as a weapon like the Democrats used George W. Bush.
Snoop Dogg endorsed perennial loser Ron Paul for president. Then he switched gears and went with a real winner Barack Obama.
This endorsement of Hillary Clinton could benefit her with young voters.
Chinx (left) was gunned down. French Montana (right) was shocked and sadden by the lost of his friend.
A rapper who is affiliated with French Montana was gunned down over the weekend.
World News Today send our condolences to the family Chinx.
Born Lionel Pickens he was best known for collaborations with French and many other rappers was shot and killed in Jamaica, Queens, New York. He was in a car when he was caught off guard by the gunfire from an unknown assailant.
Chinx (Drugz) was the rapper who made the song "I'm A Coke Boy" with French Montana, Rick Ross and Sean "Puffy" Combs.
French Montana is an artist who appears on Interscope Records and is affiliated with Bad Boy Records and Maybach Music Group launched Coke Boyz Music and signed Chinx in 2012.
With the Kentucky Derby and boxing tonight, all the money being poured into these events could be an estimated $1 billion.
Now I haven't gotten my tickets nor have the opportunity to see the major events. But I hope that some out readers get an opportunity to see it.
The Fight of the Century is on. Floyd Mayweather wants to continue his flawless record in the fight against phenomenon Manny Pacquiao, Saturday night.
MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Despite predictions that Mayweather–Pacquiao would be the highest grossing fight in history as early as 2009, disagreements between the two boxers' camps on terms for the fight prevented the bout from coming to fruition until 2015.
This is the fight of the century.
The failure to make the Mayweather–Pacquiao fight was named The Ring magazine Event of the Year for 2010.
However, negotiations for the superfight in 2015 have since been finalized, with all of the major issues that have prevented the fight from happening in the past now resolved, including purse split, drug testing, and location of the bout. On February 20, 2015, Mayweather confirmed on social media that the fight had indeed been signed by himself as Pacquiao already had signed the contract of the fight previously and the contract itself was with Mayweather on that day.
This fight will generate an estimated $350 million in revenue.
Bad blood. 50 Cent admits that Game is a great artist but he stands firm in not allowing him back into The Unit.
Game burned bridges and then some. Now the Compton rapper wants to make "peace" with The Unit.
We've heard this story. One minute Game goes after The Unit and a few months later, he's cool with them.
We know that every attempt to reunite with his old crew was marred with Game's stubbornness and unwillingness to acknowledge 50 Cent's role in his debut album.
In the beginning I was down with Game throughout his fallout with The Unit. But when I seen him admit that he believes leaving The Unit was a mistake, I started to believe the rumors of Game being bipolar.
As you know this is over 10 years since The Documentary. The debut album from Jayecon Taylor (aka Game). The first debut album since he signed a contract with Dr. Dre and 50 Cent. That album was a certified classic.
Despite his constant name drops, Game managed to score a four times platinum album. He had a lot of A-game producers, a lot of featured guests and five hit singles. But the thing that was missing was The Unit.
Yeah, there were features of Tony Yayo and 50 Cent, but the album was missing Young Buck and Lloyd Banks.
Well according to 50, Game didn't get along with Banks.
He wanted to do his thing with the Black Wall Street Records.
He was picking fights with Joe Budden, Memphis Bleek, Jay-Z and Yukmouth.
When 50 asked Game to jump on a single targeting Ja Rule, Nas, Jadakiss, Fat Joe and Ashanti, Game refused. Game said he didn't want no part in the feuding. He wanted to rep his click.
So on radio, 50 fired The Game. On Hot 97, 50 formally dismissed him from the group and told the public that Dr. Dre and 50 will continue without Game.
Game got upset and tried to confront 50 at the radio station. When his entourage was denied entry, a member of Game's crew threatened the security and they drew the pieces and popped off.
Game and 50 were both at the peak of an all out East-West Coast feud. But that ended when Jimmy Iovine warned them both that they'll be fired out the cannon if they don't patch things up.
So in front of cameras, the rappers made peace, "sort off".
While both hit each other with subliminal and not so subliminally dissing of one another, Game decided to release the 300 Bars. The freestyle went off on 50, Banks, Buck, Yayo and R&B singer Olivia.
He created the G-Unot boycott with his manager Jimmy Rosemond (aka Tha Henchman).
Game had been forced off the Aftermath label because he didn't want to pay royalties to Dre and 50.
50 took ownership of the naming rights after Game got fired from the labels.
50 continued to record a few more albums under Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment and Eminem's Shady Records label. But when it came to his Street King Immortal, it was put on ice. They shelved the album and let 50 find the door out.
Now as an independent artist, 50 decided to reunite with his estranged crew. He made peace with Buck and Banks. He also patched up things with Yayo and recruited Kidd Kidd to The Unit.
Now the Unit is trying to recapture its glory. But one member is still looking from the outside.
Outside is Game. Now an independent artist himself, Game is hoping to recruit Dre and 50 for The Documentary 2.
Game's failed attempts at reuniting with 50 all stemmed from the way they promoted The Documentary. The album was a product of The Unit.
Game didn't give credit to 50.
I believe that 50 should reconcile with Game. Although I don't trust Game at his word, 50 should get over the feud.
So do you think that it's time for these two to bury the hatch?
