SCOTUS Rules In The Wannabe Eminem Case!

I can't be touched. Anthony Elonis got redemption after the Supreme Court ruled that his imprisonment and conviction invalid. He went to social media to rap a verse about killing his ex-wife in Eminem fashion.

If I want to say "I'm a kill you" in a musical verse, is it a threat?

Well the Supreme Court says "no". It's not a threat if you're expressing frustrations about killing without preemptive attack. It has to be the actions done and not said. The court ruled in favor of a man who spent time in the prison after he took shots at his estranged wife after he found out she cheated on him.

Elonis v. United States is a decision that ruled in favor of plaintiff Anthony Elonis.

The court invalidated his conviction. He is no longer an active felon in the state of Pennsylvania.

Anthony Elonis (formerly known as Tone Dougie) was convicted on four counts of threats to local law enforcement, his estranged wife, an FBI agent, and a kindergarten class, relayed through interstate communication. He was sentenced to 5 years in federal time out. He posted his lyrics of violence on Facebook.

There you go.........!

Remember what you post on social media can be seen by everyone. Just because you keep it private, doesn't mean it's private. Your friends and their friends and strangers can exploit you. Once its online, it's forever.

Big rulings are coming. Obamacare and gay marriage on the way.

In his lyrics he would say:

Did you know that it's illegal for me to say I want to kill my wife?

It's illegal.

It's indirect criminal contempt.

It's one of the only sentences that I'm not allowed to say.

Now it was okay for me to say it right then because I was just telling you that it's illegal for me to say I want to kill my wife...

Elonis said that his rap verse were similar to Eminem.

He would also post that he would take out others. That caught the FBI's attention.

"...Took all the strength I had not to turn the bitch ghost

Pull my knife, flick my wrist, and slit her throat

Leave her bleedin’ from her jugular in the arms of her partner..."

Elonis' conviction was based on multiple public Facebook posts he wrote, including the following about his wife: “If I only knew then what I know now... I would have smothered your ass with a pillow. Dumped your body in the back seat. Dropped you off in Toad Creek and made it look like a rape and murder.”

Elonis fought the state of Pennsylvania to regain his freedom. After a few appeals, he got it to the Supreme Court.

.

In a 7-2 decision, the court ruled that it was wrong for the federal authorities and state of Pennsylvania to assume that Elonis had the intentions of planning a domestic attack through social media. They knew it was rap lyrics and not an inspired attack.

Justices Samuel Alito and Clearance Thomas were the dissenting opinion.

This ruling means that even if its distasteful and threatening, the court believes that if it's written by song or in poetic form (and not a plot to carry out a domestic attack), it's freedom of speech.

Elonis wanted to think like Eminem.

Marshall Mathers III, 42 is the world's greatest rapper. He comes from the city of Detroit and told his tales of hardship through his alter ego Slim Shady. The rapper released eight albums, five collaborations and starred in a blockbuster movie. He is one of the very few rappers to earn a Oscar for best song. He is the most recognizable White rapper. He is a controversial talent. He is criticized by some for rapping verse that may seem sexist, homophobic, violent, demonic, sadistic, and too commercial.

Eminem is also founder of Shady Records, the label that host his group D12, hip-hop collective Slaughterhouse and Alabama rapper Yelawolf.

Eminem is signed on Interscope Records through Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment.

Dr. Dre left the label to join Apple via his Beats Audio.

Bigger rulings coming soon. The decisions on executive powers, Obamacare and gay marriage will be decided on in the coming weeks.

50 Cent: Nah, Game Ain't Coming Back To The Unit!

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?

Biggie: The Real King of New York!

The legend Biggie Smalls

Today marks another grave milestone in American music.

On March 9, 1997, a rap legend died. The legendary Notorious B.I.G. was gunned down in Los Angeles after attending a party for Vibe Magazine. The 25 year old rapper's death still remains a mystery to this day.

I woke up to hearing the news. My mom told us that this rapper named Biggie was shot. I was shocked by this. We all knew this day was coming. I was just listening to the single "Notorious Thugs" on the radio two days ago and I had used the cassette tape to record it.

Never in my day, that rap lost two legends in a six month period.

If you're a real fan of hip-hop, you would know Biggie Smalls (aka Frank White).

The Brooklyn MC who is the real king of New York hip-hop.

No one can take that. Not even Nas or Jay-Z.

Wallace was raised in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. When he released his debut album Ready to Die in 1994, he became a central figure in the East Coast hip hop scene and increased New York's visibility in the genre at a time when West Coast hip hop was dominant in the mainstream.

The following year, Wallace led his childhood friends to chart success through his protégé group, Junior M.A.F.I.A. While recording his second album, Wallace was heavily involved in the growing East Coast/West Coast hip hop feud.

Before the release of his Life After Death album, got booed by some West Coast rappers at the Soul Train Awards after presenting an award.

During the night, he was with his entourage attending a Vibe Magazine party. Then when he was leaving for his hotel, a vehicle pulls up and opens fire on him. He was hit four times. Out of three bullets one managed to hit the vitals. He was rushed to the hospital and died that night.

That led to speculation that Big Suge ordered a hit on him in retaliation. There are some who believed that Tupac Shakur's murder was orchestrated by Biggie and Sean "Diddy" Combs.

Biggie and Shakur's death led to the decline of quality hip-hop. Although this decline in music still exist, many rappers dedicate their legacies to them.

Many in the law enforcement industry feels that hip-hop's no snitching philosophy doomed their chances to solve these mysteries.

But still we here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to family of the Notorious B.I.G.

Also R.I.P. to Christopher Rios (aka Big Pun), Chad Butler (aka Pimp C), Lisa Lopes (aka Left-Eye), Aaliyah Houghton, Tupac Shakur (aka Makaveli), Eric Wright (aka Eazy-E), Jason Mizell (aka Jam Master Jay), James Adarryl Tapp (aka Soulja Slim), Russell Jones (aka Ol' Dirty Bastard), DeShaun Holton (aka Proof) and every rapper or R & B singer who passed away.

BIGGIE: WE MISS YA!

Albums Coming Out: Not On Tuesday! Got To Pick 'Em Up On Friday!

CDs are becoming an endangered species.

Fridays are for movies releases. Now you can add album releases to Friday.

Drake has proven to be the lion that roars in the 2015 with his surprise album. But now it seems like this is going to be a new norm. The music industry will now make an effort to release albums from major recording artists on Friday.

Agence France-Presse reports that the music industry has announced an agreement to release albums globally on Fridays, ending divergences among regions that have fueled piracy in an age of instant music.

Key groups representing music retailers, record companies and artists said that they would coordinate album releases to go out everywhere each Friday at one minute past midnight local time.

Thursday's decision, after nine months of consultation, is expected to go into effect by summer in the Northern Hemisphere, said Frances Moore, chief executive officer of the music industry's global body IFPI.

"What is absolutely clear is that there is nearly unanimous agreement that a global release date is a good thing," Moore told AFP.

Under longstanding traditions, albums are generally released on Monday in Britain and France, Tuesday in the United States, Wednesday in Japan and Friday in Australia and Germany.

The variations have looked increasingly anachronistic amid the rapid growth of digital downloading and more recently streaming, contributing to a black market for albums already out in one region.

Moore said that a global release date would help bring more excitement to the industry.

"Let's say Daft Punk, for example, makes an announcement saying that their album's out today, but it's in America and it's not until Friday in Germany. There is a three- or four-day gap.

The move according to AFP is going to shake up small business. You see that with Tuesday being a normal release date for most album releases, it's essential that the small business see the product move in the early. Digital releases are dominating everything. It is practically killing CDs, DVD, vinyls and the old cassette tapes.

Granted that a number of independent retailers in the United States, the world's largest music market, had opposed the Friday release date, arguing that weekends were already the busiest time and it made sense to encourage customers to come on an otherwise slow Tuesday.

In recent years, artists including Beyonce and Madonna have also suddenly released albums without warning, sometimes selling them first in digital format, either in response to leaks or sometimes to avoid them.

Moore said that the Friday plan enjoyed broad support but that there would be no legal ramifications for anyone who insists on another day.

"But there is a clear majority in favor of doing this, and I think eventually it will be aligned," she said.

Enjoy the music from Rae Sremmurd, a rap group that appears on Interscope Records and Ear Drummers Entertainment.

Drake Is Slaying The Brown Tyga In Sales!

If you're hearing the news, Drake has dominated the charts. Slaying Chris Brown and Tyga subliminally and financially.

And Drake just dropped the mic on Tyga and Chris Brown.

Billboard reports that singles featuring Drake and his singles of the mixtape/album If You're Reading This Its Too Late are charting.

Billboard reports that all 17 songs on the mixtape are charting on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, breaking the previous record of 14 which he matched a week ago. The rapper now has a total of 21 songs on the chart after adding four other songs that he is featured on, an unprecedented feat for any artist.

Drake is due to go platinum with this album. A surprise release to spar with the Tyga/Chris Brown release Fan of a Fan. Their album is the first release since Tyga distanced himself from YMCMB.

Tyga is on the verge of being "fired out the cannon" with Young Money/Cash Money.

The family feud has gotten even more nastier. But who's benefiting from this?

Aubrey "Drake" Graham who is worth an estimated $50 million. And while Chris Brown pulls in a healthy $23 million in sales, Tyga is not even in the league.

Tyga and Chris Brown ain't gonna like the news that rival Drake is beating them.

I'm clowning on T-Raw. The Compton rapper hasn't learned the business yet. He's talking like every other ignorant rapper out there who seeks attention. He doesn't understand who he's dealing with. He bit the hand that fed him. And now he's being blackballed. 

Like the Game and 50 situation, Drake went out his way to help Tyga get airplay. Drake actually promotes his fellow artists on Young Money/Cash Money and OVO Sound. 

Drake put Tyga on The Motto. And this is the gratitude....calling him "fake". Calling him a "weirdo".

Threatening him on the internet after you instigated the feud....Real classy.

T-Raw is already catching flack for dating Kylie Jenner, the daughter of Bruce Jenner, former athlete and now transgender activist. 

His pathetic feud with Drake is like Benzino feuding with Eminem. It's a one sided battle and most already knows who won this.

Drake may be overrated as an entertainer. So what? 

He's putting out hits and moving into territory that once held for legends. 

Pimp My Career!

Pimp My Ride may come back to MTV. The Huffington Post opens up some of the secrets of this once successful show.

The MTV show featuring rapper Xzibit was one popular show back then. Long after it's been pulled off the roster, many accusations come forth that the reality show is actually fake.

Wow. Should I be surprised?

The Huffington Post has a report about some of the contestants of Pimp My Ride being ringers.

Not saying that most of the contestants are fake, but a few of them came forth to thank MTV and Xzibit for giving them an opportunity to promote their companies and their new whips.

Never discredit a show for what it does. It's reality television. Often you should expect this.

I wouldn't think much of this if I didn't think I could get a chance to "pimp my ride".

BREAKING: Common And John Legend Won An Oscar!

Glory won the best motion picture score.

Common and John Legend won an Oscar. They join Eminem and Three Six Mafia as Oscar award winning hip-hop entertainers. Their song for the hit movie Selma took home an Oscar. It also defies the little controversy ensuing nominees being mostly White performers.

Congratulations to Common and John Legend. Glory won the Oscar for the Best Score in a Motion Picture.

Wikipedia give a brief summary of both entertainers.

Common debuted in 1992 with the album Can I Borrow a Dollar? and maintained a significant underground following into the late 1990s, after which he gained notable mainstream success through his work with the Soulquarians.

In 2011, Common launched Think Common Entertainment, his own record label imprint and in the past has released music under various other labels such as Relativity, Geffen and GOOD Music, among others.

Common's first major-label album, Like Water for Chocolate, received widespread critical acclaim and tremendous commercial success.

His first Grammy Award was in 2003, winning Best R&B Song for "Love of My Life", with Erykah Badu.

Its popularity was matched by May 2005's Be, which was nominated for Best Rap Album, at the 2006 Grammy Awards. Common was awarded his second Grammy for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group, for "Southside" (featuring Kanye West), from his July 2007 album Finding Forever. His best-of album, Thisisme Then: The Best of Common, was released on November 27, 2007.

Common won the 2015 Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song, and the 2015 Academy Award for Best Original Song, for his song "Glory" from the 2014 film Selma, in which he co-starred as 1960s Civil Rights Movement leader James Bevel.

Common's acting career also includes starring significant roles in the films Smokin' Aces, Street Kings, American Gangster, Wanted, Terminator Salvation, Date Night, Just Wright, Happy Feet Two, and New Year's Eve. He also narrated the award-winning documentary Bouncing Cats, about one man's efforts to improve the lives of children in Uganda through hip-hop/b-boy culture.

He starred as Elam Ferguson on the AMC western television series Hell on Wheels.

John Legend was born in Springfield, Ohio. He is one of four children of Phyllis Elaine (née Lloyd), a seamstress, and Ronald Lamar Stephens, a factory worker and former National Guardsman.

Throughout his childhood, Legend was homeschooled on and off by his mother. At age four, he performed with his church choir. He began playing the piano at age seven. In 1987, when he was nine, his parents divorced. At the age of twelve, Legend attended North High School, from which he graduated four years later. Upon his salutatorian graduation, Legend was offered admission to Harvard University and scholarships to Georgetown University and Morehouse College. He attended the University of Pennsylvania, where he studied English with an emphasis on African American literature.

— Huffington Post (@HuffingtonPost) February 23, 2015

While in college, Legend served as president and musical director of a co-ed jazz and pop a cappella group called Counterparts. His lead vocals on the group's recording of Joan Osborne's "One of Us" received critical acclaim landing the song on the track list of the 1998 Best of Collegiate a Cappella compilation CD.

Legend was also a member of the prestigious senior societies Sphinx Senior Society and Onyx Senior Honor Society while an undergraduate at Penn. While in college, Legend was introduced to Lauryn Hill by a friend. Hill hired him to play piano on "Everything Is Everything", a song from her album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.

During this period, he began to hold a number of shows around Philadelphia, eventually expanding his audience base to New York, Boston, Atlanta, and Washington, D.C. He finished college in 1999, and thereafter began producing, writing, and recording his own music. He released two albums independently; his self-titled demo (2000) and Live at Jimmy's Uptown (2001), which he sold at his shows. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, Legend began working as a management consultant for the Boston Consulting Group.

During this time, he began working on his demo and began sending his work to various record labels.

In 2001, Devo Springsteen introduced Legend to then up-and-coming hip-hop artist Kanye West; Legend was hired to sing during the hooks of West's music. After signing to West's label, he chose his stage name from an idea that was given to him by poet J. Ivy, due to what he perceived "old-school sound". J. Ivy stated, "I heard your music and it reminds me of that music from the old school.

You sound like one of the legends. As a matter of fact, that's what I'm going to call you from now on!

I'm going to call you John Legend." After J. Ivy continued to call him by the new moniker "John Legend," others quickly caught on, including Kanye West, and the name stuck. Despite Legend's reluctance to change his stage name, he eventually announced his new artist name as John Legend.

Common (Lonnie Lynn) and John Legend (John Stevens) are affiliated with Kanye West and his label G.O.O.D. Music. Common is a signed artist on Def Jam and John Legend is a signed artist on Sony Urban Music.

The conservative agitators aren't going to love this. Common and John Legend are friends with Barack and Michelle Obama.

A few years back, Common was invited to the White House for a poetic session and that annoying conservative agitator went bonkers over it.

Also the conservative agitators hated the fact that John Legend and Common both express concern about Black men being profiled by police.

Common currently attends Trinity United Church of Christ. The church was the scapegoat in the Jeremiah Wright controversy.

Bow Wow's New Gig Takes Him Cyber Stage!

To keep the courts off his back for owed child support, Shad Moss (aka Bow Wow) is joining CSI: Cyber.

The writers for CSI: Cyber found a place for the nearly washed up rapper Bow Wow (aka Shad Moss). He and Patricia Arquette are going to be featured on this program. I guess the Cash Money bid is history. He was patiently waiting on that album release. It didn't happen. He bounced.

Also with Viacom canceling 106 & Park on BET, it's pretty much a wrap for the one time pop idol.

The FBI's team of cyber crime investigators, headed by Special Agent Avery Ryan (Patricia Arquette), works to solve cases involving the darknet and deep web. Avery, an esteemed Ph.D. cyber-psychologist, is in charge of the Cyber Crime Division at Quantico, Virginia.

The team she leads, which also includes Senior Special Agent Elijah Mundo, is tasked with solving Internet-related murders, cyber-theft, hacking, sex offenses and blackmail.

Back in 1998, Bow Wow released his debut album Beware of Dog on So So Def Recordings.

Bow Wow plays a character called Brody Nelson. Nelson is an FBI special agent. He is a former hacking savant who is trying to keep his hands out of the dark net to become a successful agent at the FBI's cyber crime division.

This is a midseason replacement for the cancellation of Stalker. CBS has put the ax on The Millers, The McCarthys and Stalker.

Are you going to watch CSI?

CSI is the goldmine for the CBS network. Most of the spin-offs have done reasonably well.

Drake Shocks The Junk Food Media By Releasing Surprise Album!

One more and I'm done. He's trying to bounce from YMCMB. It's official Cash Money Records is going through a Too Big To Fail moment.

While Cash Money is going through some serious conflict, Canadian entertainer Aubrey "Drake" Graham is putting at least some of his conflict aside to drop a "surprise" album this week.

On memorable line from the album comes from 6PM in New York where Drake aims at Tyga.

"I heard a lil lil homie talking reckless in Vibe/ Quite a platform you chose, you shoulda kept it inside/ Oh you tried, it’s so childish calling my name on the world stage/ You need to act your age and not your girl’s age".

Drake's mixtape (album) is called If You're Reading This, It's Too Late.

If You're Reading This It's Too Late is the fourth studio album.

One more album and Drake can officially go free agent. He's been determined to leave Cash Money and Young Money for some time now.

It was released on February 13, 2015 by Cash Money Records, Young Money Entertainment, and OVO Sound. Drake and his longtime producer Noah "40" Shebib are the executive producers. It features Lil' Wayne, Travi$ Scott and his OVO label artist PartyNextDoor.

The album was released onto iTunes with no prior announcement. The album precedes his previously announced upcoming fifth studio album, Views From The 6. The album is a mixtape marketed as an album in order to free himself from his contract with Cash Money.

Lil' Wayne is currently feuding with the label over Bryan "Birdman" Williams pushing back The Carter V. The rapper also express annoyance at Birdman solely focusing on Atlanta based rappers Young Thug and Rich Homie Quan through his own Rich Gang label and leaving him, Tyga and Nicki Minaj on the sidelines.

Tyga is also engaged in a feud with Birdman and Drake. Alleged rumors of the rapper dating Kylie Jenner has the media buzzing about the under 21 step sister of Kim Kardashian hanging around with a truly thuggish rapper.

Drake is engaged in not only feuds with Tyga but even Sean "Diddy" Combs. They had an apparent altercation.

Some entertainers in the music industry are putting tight lips on leaks. Eminem, Beyonce, Jay-Z and now Drake are releasing surprise albums to fulfill the demand.

Big Suge Going Up The Creek Without A Paddle!

If I could take back what happen? Big Suge knows his days of freedom are over!

There were things going on in the junk food media that happen to catch my radar.

First and foremost, we here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of The Jacka, a Bay Area rapper who was gunned down this week. He was a veteran of the hip-hop movement. He was associated with C-Bo and collaborated with E-40, Spice-1 and Yukmouth.

Dominic Newton (August 1977 – February 2, 2015), better known by his stage name The Jacka, was an American rapper from Pittsburg, California. The Jacka got his start with his group, Mob Figaz, whose first album, C-Bo's Mob Figaz, was released in 1999. Newton converted to Islam at a young age and changed his name to Shaheed Akbar. On February 2, 2015, he was fatally shot by an unidentified gunman in Oakland.

Prior to his death, he owned his own label entitled The Artist Records.

Down the way, Big Suge got denied bail. Marion "Suge" Knight the former co-founder of Death Row Records is charged for murder after his vehicle ran over two men killing one. He was trying to start trouble for The Good Doc while he was in Compton. Dr. Dre was there for the filming of the N.W.A. movie and it was a closed set. Big Suge decided to broker a "peace treaty" with his longtime rival.

Apparently Dre didn't get the word. His security cleared Big Suge off the set. There was a lot of yelling and thuggery. And out of nowhere, someone jumps into the vehicle and peels out running over the victim.

Suge still sticking to the code, telling the junk food media and his P.O. that he's not the driver and it was an accident. This accident is the final straw for the music mogul. He's already facing a charge of smacking up a photographer last year and this charge trumped up everything.

He's a doomed celebrity. If found guilty, he could face life in the iron college. Seriously, it would be a 5 - 20 year stay if it wasn't for the fact that Knight has a history of violence and he's part of the Cali three strikes system.

Big Suge's Days Of Freedom May Be Over!

Them days of freedom for Big Suge are over. The gruesome hit-and-run of a person may be the media mogul's undoing.

Not only facing felonious assault for smacking up a female photographer but now add an alleged fatal hit and run. The legal woes continues for former Death Row Records co-founder Marion "Suge" Knight. The media mogul who formerly was a member of the domestic terrorist group The Bloods has been in and out of the iron college. But now this time, I think he's at his third strike and he's going to be out.

If the charges are proven, he's going to the iron college for LIFE.

The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department responded to a hit and run crash Thursday afternoon in Compton that multiple reports said involved Suge Knight .

Two people were hit, and one later died at a hospital, authorities said. According to Fox 11 and TMZ, Suge Knight was in the car that fled the scene.

Apparently Knight was trying to stalk Dr. Dre, Game and Ice Cube. They were at publicity shoot in the suburb of Compton. I guess Knight and his crew were going to be bystanders. Of course, some one shouted some offensive words at that's what lead to a huge fight. During the fight, someone got into a car and ran over a person. The fingers are pointed at Knight.

Knight and the good doc have an ongoing feud over the doc's departure from Death Row. Big Suge accuses the doc of being a sellout and snitch. Big Suge believes Dre betrayed the label. Dr. Dre was the other co-founder of Death Row.

After Dre's departure, he went forth to start up Aftermath Entertainment and Beats Audio.

Dr. Dre has a restraining order against Suge Knight. Knight has mocked it and questioned the sexuality of Dre in retaliation. He also sparked a major fight in 2004 after an associate of Knight sucker punched Dre and lead to former Aftermath rapper Young Buck to stab the guy.

NWA...We in the city! #Compton

The LAPD said that Knight has turned himself in. We don't have any new updates to this, but expect it be a story that me and S. Baldwin will continue to follow. We send our condolences to the victim who was killed in this senseless tragedy.

Thrift Store Rapper Benzino Is A Hot Mess!

Thrift store rapper Raymond "Benzino" Scott continues his path to failure.

The failed veteran of hip-hop Raymond "Benzino" Scott is pathetic.

He's just as worse as perennial loser Mitt Romney. He just won't crawl under that rock and die.

I've heard that he's been fired out the cannon after getting into a fight with Stevie J from Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta. VH1 the graveyard for washed up entertainers has reality shows out the wazoo.

The Love & Hip-Hop series is popular and I am guessing that even this washed up rapper was helping the program a little bit.

TMZ reports that the washed up rapper got into a heated confrontation with Stevie J.

TMZ broke the story ... the washed up rapper got the ax right after the brawl on the reunion taping, which sent people to the hospital and resulted in criminal charges filed against Joseline Hernandez.

Stevie J tells TMZ ... "[That fool] wouldn't let it go" ... he went on a campaign of terror, threatening the lives of him and Joseline, producers and other staffers. Stevie tells us, "He said flat out he was going to kill us."

The threats were too much for VH1 and we're told that's why Benzino was banished.

But the washed up rapper tells us, "Stevie J is a habitual liar and VH1 has never given me a reason for being fired."

The washed up rapper thinks this is all about star power and he's the scapegoat because "They wanted to keep the crackhead whore."

50 Cent and XXL mocked the washed up rapper for using his child to jump start an already terminated rap career.

Stevie J was once the washed up rapper's producer for many of his albums.

Most notably he's bragged about banging some of the baddest bitches in the music industry. Of course most women have denied ever sleeping with him.

This man is so irritating I had to find a place for him. He is probably one of the reasons why the music industry is struggling. He managed to run The Source, the country's most popular hip-hop magazine into the ground. Matter of fact, it's still in the ground and trying to survive. It went through bankruptcy proceedings when he and owner Dave Mays blew money fast.

It's well known that since the late 1980s, Harvard educated White man Dave Mays helped this washed up rapper promote his failed albums, his failed groups, his failed businesses and his feud with Eminem.

He used the magazine to fight Eminem, one of the greatest rapper ever. All because he was the only White rapper who managed to crossover to mainstream success. His feud with Eminem led to Interscope pulling advertising out of The Source.

Again, I was once a subscriber to The Source Magazine. The magazine was delivered to my home without problems. When I stopped getting my magazine during the third year, I was starting to have issues with it. I wrote letters, called The Source and even voice my opinion online. But nothing came.

I got the run around. When it was told that the magazine was suffering in sales because of the feud with Eminem, people started flocking to XXL Magazine. Now XXL Magazine is the country's most read hip-hop magazine. The Source sold off its franchising to the shareholders of Black Enterprises.

The shareholders ended up terminating Dave Mays and that washed up rapper. They ended up starting up Hip-Hop Weekly. And yes they still are blowing money fast.

The washed up rapper was shot in his hometown of Boston back in March. His own nephew was pissed that the washed up rapper stalled his business deal. He put a couple of slugs into the rapper's arm and was eventually caught.

This feud happened on the day the rapper's mother (nephew's grandmother) was to be buried.

The washed up rapper's nephew Gai Scott will probably get 25 in the iron college for the felonious assault with a firearm.

Big Bank Hank Passes Away!

Big Bank Hank (left) passed away.

Everybody clap your hands, cause it's time to party and The Sugarhill Gang was here to party with you. Did you ever went over to someone's house and they offered food that tasted like wood?

That's some of the memorable things I could think of when I hear the music from the pioneers of hip-hop music.

Today a legend died and we here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to family of Big Bank Hank. He died today and it's sending ripples across the entertainment community.

The AP reports that the member of the pioneering hip-hop group the Sugarhill Gang responsible for one of the most popular rap songs of all time, "Rapper's Delight," has died of complications of cancer at age 57.

He died Tuesday at a hospital in Englewood, New Jersey according to David Mallie, a business manager for two former members of the group, and Aree Booker, a funeral director with Eternity Funeral Services.

Big Bank Hank, whose real name was Henry Jackson, was born in the Bronx borough of New York. He was a part of the Sugarhill Gang in 1979 when it had hip-hop's first hit with "Rapper's Delight."

The song was released as hip-hop music started to emerge as a genre, and it landed in the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. It also peaked at No. 4 on the Hot Soul Singles chart, now called the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

The Sugarhill Gang, which was formed in Englewood, also included Master Gee and Wonder Mike.

"So sad to hear about our brothers passing," Gee and Mike said in a statement issued through Mallie, who didn't work with Big Bank Hank. "The 3 of us created musical history together with the release of Rapper's Delight. We will always remember traveling the world together and rocking the house. Rest in peace Big Bank."

"Rapper's Delight" became a success thanks to the late Sylvia Robinson, the record label owner who released it on her Sugar Hill Records. Robinson, who was known as the Mother of Hip-Hop, died in 2011.

After "Rapper's Delight," the trio had minor successes with songs such as "Apache" and "8th Wonder" but faded away. Their last album was a 1999 children's rap album, "Jump On It!"

Gee and Mike currently perform under the name Rapper's Delight Experience featuring Wonder Mike and Master Gee, Mallie said. Robinson's son owns the Sugarhill Gang trademark, and Gee and Mike haven't been able to perform under the name since 2010, he said.

Gee and Mike were on good terms with Big Bank Hank before he died, Mallie said.

Ja Rule: I Admit 50 [Cent] Tore My A** Up!

Clearance bin rappers 50 Cent and Ja Rule posed together last year. The feud over, right? Ja reflects on it.

Ja Rule comes out of the cesspool to reignite the infamous feud between him and Curtis Jackson (aka 50 Cent, the leader of the Unit). This marks over 10 years since the hip-hop stans got to know how much Ja and 50 hate each other.

Ja Rule comes clean about his feud with 50 Cent. Although he's no longer worried about his sworn enemy, the entertainer might as well start it all over again. He wants to air out how this little feud started.

This a well-publicized dispute started with 50 Cent claiming that a friend robbed Ja Rule of his jewelry and that Ja Rule accused him of setting it up.

However, Ja Rule claimed the conflict stemmed from a video shoot in Queens because 50 did not like seeing him "getting so much love" from the neighborhood.

While at The Hit Factory studio in New York, the rappers had an altercation and some of Murder Inc. associates jumped 50. He was treated for three stitches after receiving a stab wound.

Rapper Black Child claimed responsibility for the stabbing, saying he acted in self-defense because he thought someone reached for a gun.

An affidavit by an IRS agent suggested that Murder Inc. had ties to Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff, a New York drug lord who was suspected of being involved in the murder of Jam Master Jay and the shooting of 50. An excerpt of the affidavit read:

The investigation has uncovered a conspiracy involving McGriff and others to murder a rap artist who has released songs containing lyrics regarding McGriff's criminal activities. The rap artist was shot in 2000, survived and thereafter refused to cooperate with law enforcement regarding the shooting. Messages transmitted over the Murder Inc. pager indicate that McGriff is involved in an ongoing plot to kill this rap artist, and that he communicates with Murder Inc. employees concerning the target.

In an interview with MTV, Ja Rule acknowledged his defeat against 50 Cent and stated that his new album, The Mirror, will not be continuing any past feuds that he has engaged in. He said: There was a lot of things I wanted to say, and I didn't want there to be any bitter records on the album. Because I'm not bitter about anything that happened [in the past few years].

In May 2011, it was confirmed that both Ja Rule and 50 Cent squashed the feud.

Ja Rule said "I’m cool. We ain't beefing no more. We’ll never collaborate. That’s just what it is. You don’t have to be at war with somebody, but it’s also kind of like U.S. and another country that they may not get along with. We don’t gotta go to war, but we’re not friends either. But we can coincide inside of a world. He’s doing him, and he’s not thinking about me, and I’m doing me and I’m not thinking about him."

Not so fast. HipHopDX reports that Ja still talking shit. Wonder when's 50 going to respond?

In a sitdown with VladTV, the washed up rapper opens up again about this issue with 50 Cent, Ja Rule explained his side of an infamous chain snatching incident and clarified that the G-Unit founder “had nothing to do with it.”

“He’s good at what he does,” Ja Rule said of 50 Cent early in the interview. “He tells stories. I call him MC Gusto, you ever seen CB4? That’s who he is in real life to me.”

“It had nothing to do with music, Hip Hop, Rap, none of that,” Ja Rule said before admitting that he gave up the chain when a gun when pointed at him. “Of course, I said, ‘Yeah, take it.' Nigga got a gun on you. Nigga with a gun is the winner. Hands down. The guy with the gun won. ‘Take that, hold on to that.’

“Anyway, so I guess the story got back in the hood and so 50 used that as his end, to have something to say about me,” he continued. “But it had nothing to with him. I didn’t even know you know this dude. His story is, ‘I seen him with Troy out and about and I got mad at him.’ Nigga you had nothing to do with it, why would I get mad at the guy next to the guy? His stories just don’t add up, they don’t make sense. But to an outside source, looking in listening, people don’t know what to believe.”

As you know, all the players from the feuds of yesterday are now on the bottom of the clearance bin.

See what 50 Cent done to them all.

50 Cent is on the independent circuit after leaving Interscope. He announced this year that he is done with Eminem and Dr. Dre after they held his garbage in the bin too long. It started to smell.

Seriously, his songs off the now shelved album Street King Immortal weren't charting. Even with Adam Levine, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Alicia Keys, Jeezy, Kendrick Lamar and Snoop Dogg on the tracks, Mr. Iovine wasn't seeing a profit. So instead of going into the studio to muster time to make hits, 50 decided to leave the label that made him rich. He jumps onto some off-shoot of Capitol Records.

50 Cent went on this rant about how Dre and Iovine screwed him. Mostly because his Slump headphones were passed by Apple. The Beats Audio put Dre in the billionaires club and Mr. Iovine formally left Interscope a very rich and powerful man.

Those outburst forced G-Unit entirely off Interscope. That also gave 50 a chance to reunite with his disgruntled members (minus Jayceon).

The Unit got back together and released a couple of sleepers but no hits. The Unit is formed with 50, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, Young Buck and former Cash Money artist Kidd Kidd.

Jayceon (by the name of Game) is acting like a total dickhead. Still trying to work out them differences with the Unit but still dissing. Buck tried to calm the feud but no dice. Game wants Blood.

Foolish rapper was dumped from Interscope after Jesus Piece sold less than 100,000 copies. Game tried to eat with Lil' Wayne and Baby. That didn't go so well.

Now Game is flipping burgers somewhere while trying to sell his Year of the Wolf album.

Of course, 50's proven a point. Back in 2005, 50 aired out problems with Game. He said that he's putting his shit out on Koch Records. I guess he's proven a point.

Game is signed to E1 Records (formerly known as Koch). Game stated that he'll sign Ja to his Blood Money label just to piss 50 off.

Suge Knight Injured At VMAs!

Big Suge got shot again!

The former owner of the legendary Death Row Records was shot by an assailant after attending a party for "honorary Blood" member Chris Brown.

What party in L.A. won't be without a hip-hop themed shooting?

Knight was shot at a pre-Video Music Awards party, this time hosted by Chris Brown in Los Angeles. Shot 6 times, he was able to walk from the venue to an ambulance. His injuries required surgery.

Knight has ties to the infamous domestic terrorist group The Bloods.

The party held by the embattled pop star has brought the worst out. The Rolling Stone reports that two gunshots were initially fired at 1:35 a.m. in the 1Oak nightclub. Security helped Chris Brown and his table exit while many others in the crowd fled. At 1:50 a.m., police rushed into the club and forced the remaining guests to leave with their hands in the air.

On Sunday morning, Brown appeared to respond to the melee on Twitter. "It's disappointing that we as a society can't have fun or enjoy ourselves without any altercations sometimes," he wrote. "Miss me with the bullshit!!!"

"Chris hosted an event in Los Angeles last night to celebrate the upcoming release of his album X, during which an incident occurred," a rep added to Rolling Stone. "This incident did not involve Chris; he was merely the host of the event. He has and will continue to cooperate with the investigation."

"People were screaming and yelling and most ran out immediately," a witness to the scene told Us Weekly. "The floor was covered with glass from everyone dropping their drinks."

According to TMZ, Knight was one of three people hit by the gunfire. At least one of the other victims is in critical condition. Knight was shot in the stomach and arm, but was able to walk out of the club on his own, and family sources tell TMZ that he is now out of surgery and in intensive care.

In 2005, Knight was shot during another pre-VMA party hosted by Kanye West. In that incident, he was struck in the leg when a shooter opened fire in the VIP room of the Shore Club hotel in Miami.

A representative for 1OAk did not respond to a request for comment. A spokesperson for MTV clarified that the network had no affiliation with Saturday's event.

To this day, Suge Knight is still bitter with Dr. Dre. They founded Death Row Records in 1992 and became one of the country's most popular and controversial hip-hop labels. Under Death Row, the label released the five classic albums, The Chronic, Doggystyle, Dogg Food, All Eyez On Me, The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory.

Suge Knight lost all rights to Death Row in 2007.

Mariah Carey Fired Nick Out The Cannon!

Famed pop singer Mariah Carey six year marriage to reality star/hapless talent Nick Cannon may have went south pole. There's talk that the two have been on ice for months and the lawyers are trying to divide up the assets and custody of their two twins.

On a Power 106 FM, a Los Angeles hip-hop station, Cannon went to naming who he's banged (and tried to marry). One in particular got his ass was the fact he was one of the many men who banged Kanye West's wife Kim Kardashian. He talks to hip-hop/celebrity agitator Big Boy about his conquest.

The trouble comes at the peak of Cannon's rise to fame. He released the controversial rap album White People Party Music this year. He also rebooted Wild'n Out. He signed on a few more gigs with America's Got Talent. That added to the royalties from Mariah's catalog got them netting over $550 million.

Nick Cannon has confirmed that the marriage is over.

Mariah Carey, 44 and Cannon 33 have been married since 2008. They didn't barely know each other. Six weeks later they've confirmed they got hitched. They ended up having two children Marilyn and Morocco.

Media Pans Toyota For Using Busta Rhymes As A Pitchman!

Busta Gut!

O'Loofus hate hip-hop music. The controversial agitator has been on a vendetta against hip-hop. He managed to go after Ludacris, Snoop Dogg, Lil' Wayne, Jay-Z, 50 Cent, and even Busta Rhymes.

I am one for using entertainers for the promotion of products, but whenever they use rappers to promote a product, expect the racist right to scream outrage.

The 2015 Toyota Sienna minivan is coming out and they wanted to make light of the vehicle. They had a child actors rap a verse to the vehicle and Busta Rhymes appears in it.

Veteran rapper Busta Rhymes stars in a Toyota commercial and the junk food media attack it for being as crazy as he is. Especially for the fact he's no longer the skinny lyricist.

"Swagger Wagon," is the video and many panned it for the rapper "selling out" his trademark lyrical flow.

After all he hasn't released an album in four years. Busta Rhymes announced that he left Cash Money Records due to creative differences and he is no longer on Republic.

And of course, there's another controversy building up. The weight gain from the once very skinny and fit Busta Rhymes also has the nation talking.

I almost didn't even recognized him in the video.

Angie Martinez: Hot 97 Is So F**ked Up!

Hip-hop personality Angie Martinez resigns from Hot 97.

Veteran radio personality Angie Martinez reveals that she officially vacates the afternoon spot on New York's WQHT, known as hip-hop station Hot 97.

She is the most recognizable voice during an afternoon drive in the largest city and home of east coast hip-hop acts. Known as “The Voice of New York”, her afternoon radio show has consistently been ranked #1 with more young listeners than any other radio program in the country.

She jumped ship and is being recruited for the rival New York hip-hop station WWPR, Power 105.

The Huffington Post's Black Voices section reports that the news came as a shock to many, details regarding the 43-year-old’s reason for leaving the station have not been made public until now.

This morning Martinez finally broke her silence alongside her new colleagues, Angela Yee, DJ Envy, and Charlamagne Tha God during an interview on “The Breakfast Club.” When asked what lead to her decision to join the Clear Channel company Martinez revealed her future goals in addition to dishing on the two stations ongoing public rivalry amongst its radio personalities.

“Honestly, it was time for me to grow and to do things. And there’s so much…I’m sure you all know, this company offers so much opportunity for growth,” she said. “I want to be on in different cities, I want to be able to grow, I want to be able to have new challenges, see new things. I want to learn how this studio works…it was time. I feel like I’ve done what I could do in that company. I think my friendships remain. I never really subscribed to, cause somebody else works somewhere else we have to be enemies. Me and you [DJ Envy] always been cool.”

Martinez has a son with former Dru Hill singer and music producer Nokio.

Casey Kasem Passes Away!

Legendary DJ Casey Kasem passes away and a family feud sparks.

Famed DJ and voice actor Casey Kasem passes away today. There was a controversy brewing between members of the family.

Kasem was an American disc jockey, radio personality and actor, best known for being the host of the music radio programs American Top 40, American Top 20, and American Top 10 from 1970 until his retirement in 2009, and for providing the voice of Norville "Shaggy" Rogers in the Scooby-Doo franchise from 1969 to 1997, and again from 2002 until 2009.

Kasem founded the American Top 40 franchise in 1970, along with Don Bustany, Tom Rounds and Ron Jacobs, and hosted it from 1970 to 1988 and from 1998 to 2004. Between January 1989 and early 1998, he was the host of Casey's Top 40, Casey's Hot 20, and Casey's Countdown. Also beginning in 1998, Kasem hosted two adult contemporary spin-offs of American Top 40, American Top 20, and American Top 10. Kasem retired from AT20 and AT10 on July 4, 2009 and both shows ended on that day.

In addition to his radio shows, Kasem provided the voice of many commercials; had done many voices for Sesame Street; provided the character voice of Peter Cottontail in the Rankin/Bass production of Here Comes Peter Cottontail; was the voice of NBC; helped out with the annual Jerry Lewis telethon; and provided the cartoon voices of Robin in Super Friends, Mark on Battle of the Planets, and a number of characters for the Transformers cartoon series of the 1980s. In 2008, he was the voice of Out of Sight Retro Night which aired on WGN America, but was replaced by rival Rick Dees. After 40 years, Kasem retired from his role of voicing Shaggy in 2009, although he did voice Shaggy's father in the 2010 TV series, Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated.

Kasem's wife Jean is a certified nutjob.

She had joint custody of Kasem and held back information about his whereabouts.

Casey Kasem had three children from a previous marriage: Kerri, Julie, and Mike Kasem.

In October 2013, Kerri Kasem said that her father was suffering from Parkinson's disease; a few months later, she said Casey Kasem had been diagnosed with Lewy body dementia, which is often difficult to differentiate from Parkinson's.

Due to his condition, he was no longer able to speak.

On October 1, 2013, Kerri Kasem, her siblings and Casey Kasem's brother protested outside Casey and Jean Kasem's home, saying Jean Kasem had been preventing contact with Casey Kasem for three months.

Six days later, Julie Kasem and her husband, Dr. Jamil Aboulhosn, filed a conservatorship petition to place Casey Kasem under their care. The court denied their petition.

On May 12, 2014, Kerri Kasem was granted conservatorship over Jean Kasem's objection.

The court also ordered an investigation into Casey Kasem's whereabouts, after Jean Kasem's attorney argued that the court had no jurisdiction because he was "no longer in the United States" but did not give further information to the court about his whereabouts.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Casey Kasem.

The Game Is Definitely Over!

Entertainer couldn't ink a deal with a major label. Now he's jumped to the independent circuit. 

Again, there's a reason to why Curtis Jackson won't reunite with the former fifth member of the Unit.

Something must have happen? I mean last year, there was talk that the fifth member would ink a deal with Dwayne Carter, Bryan "Birdman" and Ronald "Slim" Williams' label.

Note that most rappers never put the contract on the internet. I am certain he wasn't that dumb! Somehow while doing an interview overseas with British DJ Tim Westwood, he kept ducking the question about signing with Dwayne Carter.

"I'm independent right at this moment. I ain't got no labels. I'm not signed to Interscope, I ain't signed to Geffen. I ain't signed to sh**. I got Blood Money [Entertainment], I started that up," the entertainer explained to Tim Westwood. "Me and Birdman, we met. We chopped it up. It's possible. Now, we letting the lawyers do the talking and figure it out. Most likely, we will, but it's still Blood Money.

"If it happens, yea" the entertainer said, when asked if it'd be a joint Blood Money/Cash Money venture.

So now all of sudden, it's revealed that his next album Blood Money La Familia, will drop through a joint venture with eOne Music.

He does one thing and then turns up doing another. It's a damn shame though, he's a highly talented rapper/entertainer. His negatives usually involve the name dropping of individuals and bipolar feuds with Curtis Jackson and Jay-Z.

Many people felt that Jayecon Taylor's reign on the West has come to an end.

Now today, I can assure that I was once a fan of The Game.

I was down with The Game. Even through his fallout with Curtis Jackson, I've support him. Throughout his bid with Dr. Dre.

Now I have to find myself finally understanding why Curtis Jackson booted the entertainer off the Unit.

He said that he was resigning to Aftermath Entertainment. Nope. He was signed to Geffen Records.

He said that he was the founder and CEO of Black Wall Street Records. Nope. He has no stake or control of that label. The label put out no acts other than him.

He said that it's Cash Money/Young Money 4 Life. He even dropped a stack for a Cash Money necklace. A necklace that was handed to him by second stringer Tyga and not Dwayne Carter.

That Cash Money deal is huge no!

Now this week we hear that he's signed on to the eOne Record label.

Kiss and make up.

It proves Curtis Jackson's point that there's no reason for reuniting with him. He told the press that if the situation was different, he would have worked with him.

But for Jayecon Taylor and his massive ego, it's apparent that a hard head continues to lead to a failed musical career. From the start, Jayecon couldn't muster enough credit to those who put his ass out there.

50 Cent and Dr. Dre contributed, wrote, and produced The Documentary. That is fact.

Game never gave them props for his mainstream success. To make this clear, he owes them.

50 Cent made it clear, if Game would have supported him during his feuds with Ja Rule, Fat Joe, Nas, and Jadakiss, none of this would have happen.

Game wanted to beef with Joe Budden, Memphis Bleek, Young Gunz and Jay-Z. People who had not ills towards 50 Cent and the Unit.

Now that 50 Cent and Game are finally off Interscope, maybe they'll find comfort back where they've started. On the independent circuit where they can pick what songs will be played (whether they're wack or not). They can claim most of their royalties.

David "Young Buck" Brown, Marvin "Tony Yayo" Bernard and Christopher "Lloyd Banks" Lloyd already jumped on the independent circuit.

With that being said, the Unit reunited this week for Summer Jam 2014. It was a moment that could revive an already dead cliche and clique.

Understand this. The Unit is officially dead. There's no need to rebuild, remodel, or restructure the group. It's over. When 50 Cent left the Interscope label, it practically put an end to his Unit.

The Game Is Over!

Also Game also got a dose of beef from soon to be federal time out interment Gucci Mane aka GWoup.
