Janet Jackson and Wissam Al Mana welcome their first child.
The junk food media is also reporting that Damita Jo bore a son. The 50 year old media mogul and singer and her husband Wissam Al Mana told the news through her publicist.
They named the boy Eissa Al Mana.
When she was on tour, Janet Jackson abruptly stopped it citing personal reasons. She hopped on social media to make news about being a family. It led to speculation the singer was pregnant.
The singer was promoting her last album Unbreakable. The singer's personal business was leaked by brother Tito in an interview with Andy Cohen.
Jackson gave birth on Tuesday.
Jackson semi-retired from music and may have converted to Islam.
"Janet had a stress-free healthy delivery and is resting comfortably."
Jackson has a total of 11 albums and is a seven time Grammy award winner.
She was married to James DeBarge and Rene Elizondo, Jr. She dated Jermaine Dupri, the former CEO of So So Def Recordings. She married Wissam in 2012. He is a Qatari business man and billionaire.
Legendary status for the late rapper Tupac Amuru Shakur.
He will be inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, becoming the sixth hip-hop artist to be inducted to the museum of music legends.
Run D.M.C., Public Enemy, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five and N.W.A. have sealed the deal.
The organization released in 2017 the list on Tuesday saying that Tupac Shakur, Joan Baez, Electric Light Orchestra, Journey, Pearl Jam and Yes will join the legends of music.
In April, the induction ceremony.
This was Tupac's first year of eligibility to be inducted. In order to be eligible, artists and bands, "must have released its first single or album at least 25 years prior to the year of nomination."
Tupac Shakur died in September 1996 after he and Marion "Big Suge" Knight were ambushed in Las Vegas after leaving a Mike Tyson boxing match.
When Haitian American rapper/singer Wyclef Jean said to the junk food media he envisions rapper Young Thug as Tupac Shakur, I was totally shocked. I am surprised that the Atlanta rapper was given the mantle of being associated with 'Pac.
Young Thug is a rising talent, no question. He's affiliated with the domestic terrorist group The Bloods.
He's made his big break by releasing the hit singles "Stoner", "Danny Glover" and "Loaded" off the mixtape titled Stoner. He collaborates with Gucci Mane, Future, T.I., Young Dolph, Usher and Rae Sremmurd. He's an in demand rapper.
But he's no Tupac...
NOPE. NADA. NO WAY.
Young Thug's mixtape Jeffery is out and the rapper wanted to get a reggae influence. Jean appears on the album's final song. Speaking to Pigeons & Planes, the 46-year old rapper says he's found new respect for Thugger.
The rapper will appear on Wyclef Jean's album J'ouvert.
Thugger shows some love to the Haitians. Thugger named his child after the impoverished country.
"Sometimes you don't realize who you are affecting," explained Wyclef. "But he's from a project, I'm from a similar background. And he has natural love for Haiti, understanding the history of Haiti. Haiti is the first Black republic. He reminds me of a modern Tupac, in a sense---- in a revolutionary sense."
That drew a lot of attention.
People were pissed that a former rival of the late rapper would dare compare a newcomer to a complex but prolific rapper such as Tupac Shakur.
Any thoughts to the matter?
Does Young Thug have 'Pac in him?
Mind you that rapper Ja Rule was roundly mocked by 50 Cent and Eminem for trying to create himself as the legendary rapper.
Listen to the full mixtape. Purchase No my name is, Jeffrey on iTunes or your local record retailer.

Thomas Mikal Ford (left) passed away. He played a starring role in the 1990s sitcom Martin. The cast Ford, Tisha Campbell Martin, Martin Lawrence, Carl Anthony Payne and Tichina Arnold.
Thomas Mikal Ford, best known as playing in the 1990s sitcom Martin had passed away in an Atlanta area hospital after complications from a ruptured aneurysm in his abdomen.
Ford was best known as Tommy in the Martin Lawrence comedy. He had appeared in shows such as A Different World as Jaleesa's (Dawnn Lewis) ex husband Lamar. He appeared on The Jamie Foxx Show, The Parkers, and the Kid 'N Play movie Class Act.
TMZ confirms that Ford passed away with his family present. They decided to take him off the lifeline.
His wife Gina confirmed this tragic news.
Martin Lawrence, Tisha Campbell-Martin, Tichina Arnold, Garrett Morris and Carl Anthony Payne hit the social media to express condolences.
My heart is heavy with the loss of my brother @BigTommyFord May he Rest In Peace 🙏🏿
We were friends way b4 the Martin show & showed tru friendship on-screen. You brought a lot of love 2 the world & you'll be greatly missed. pic.twitter.com/lBpmPFVWOE
I know I've grown up watching Martin. Matter of fact, I was hearing talk of a reboot (minus Tisha Campbell-Martin). The Fox network was hoping to gather the cast together for a reunion episode.
Twenty years ago, Tupac Shakur was shot in Las Vegas. His death remains a mystery. The rapper left a legacy.
Today marks 20 years since the fatal shooting of rapper Tupac Shakur. On September 7, 1996, Shakur and Marion "Big Suge" Knight were ambushed by an unknown gunman after driving on the Las Vegas strip.
After leaving a Mike Tyson boxing match, 'Pac and Suge were on their way to an afterparty when this event happened. Suge was driving his black BMW when a pearly white Cadillac sedan pulled alongside and fired upon the car.
'Pac was rushed to the hospital and placed on life support. He would die of his injuries on September 13, 1996. The case remains open and to this day, no one has come forward with information.
Many in the junk food media accused Orlando Anderson as the gunman. He was known as "Baby Lane" in the South LA area. He was a Crip member who was brutally beaten at the MGM Grand Hotel by 'Pac and his bodyguards.
When the video of the attack on Anderson came to light, they saw that Big Suge was throwing them bows. So he violated his parole and sent back to the iron college for nearly 10 years.
Anderson was later gunned down in a Los Angeles car wash. He was primarily the focus of the Las Vegas Metro Police.
As of today, we mourn the loss of Tupac Shakur, a poetic, spiritual, troubled and controversial figure in hip-hop. Hailed as one of the greatest rappers known, Tupac Shakur was a product of his environment.
His father and mother were both active in the Black Panthers movement. Tupac learned the rules of the game at an early age. He was artistic, gifted, intelligent and savvy.
He wanted to strive for great things.
His life was cut short at age 25. He was engaged in a bitter feud with rival rappers from the east.
Notably the Notorious B.I.G. who 'Pac accused of setting him up at a recording studio in New York.
That led to the great war of the coasts.
To this day, 'Pac's life is fascinating.
Note: Afeni Shakur passed away this year after suffering from a heart attack. Big Suge is currently facing a murder charge after he ran over a man on the filming set of Straight Outta Compton.
Lil' Kim is facing foreclosure on her New Jersey home after years of blowing off the bills. The $3 million New Jersey home is about to be on the auction block after the rapper failed paying them house payments.
HSBC Bank sued Kimberly Jones to foreclose on the mansion back in 2010, but Kim managed to starve off the foreclosure until late last year, when a judge put her in default.
The home which sits on two acres was paid for $2.2 million with a nearly $1.6 million mortgage, and agreed monthly payments of nearly $10,000 a month.
Lil' Kim and her lawyers have since been trying to save the house through mediation with the bank.
The Queen Bee hasn't paid the loan since 2009 and the bank said enough is enough.
Her home sits in Bergen County, a high class region in Northeastern New Jersey.
Remember back in 2008, Lil' Kim got her Bentley repossessed. The junk food media embarrassed her by appearing at her door. When she had a fallout with her then cocaine partner Scott Storch, he filed for bankruptcy. The repo man came to Kim's home and warned her that she don't pay up, she may face a TMZ moment.
Lil' Kim hasn't released an full length album in 10 years. She had released a mixtape to little fanfare this year. She will appear at the Sean "Puffy" Combs's Bad Boy Reunion tour with Cassie, French Montana and Machine Gun Kelly. The former acts Faith Evans, The Lox (D-Block), Mase and 112 will be there as well.
Lil' Kim has been feuding with a younger and more popular talent since the junk food media called the rival the Queen of Rap.
She basically lost the crown to the young and very popular (for the time being) Nicki Minaj.
Lil' Kim's home is located in Alpine, New Jersey
Nicki Minaj, Iggy Azalea, Dej Loaf, and rap troll Azealia Banks are in demand female rappers.
Kim, Foxy Brown, Eve, Shawnna, Da Brat, Trina and Missy Elliott were once considered the most mainstream female acts of the late 1990s and 2000s. Nowadays, they end up either on reality television or blowing money fast in stupid investments. Eventually, they may end up getting a little buzz on television or radio like Kim's shocking plastic surgery. Many in the Black community criticized her for bleaching her skin White.
Lil' Kim became a first time mother at age 40. Her boyfriend, rapper Mr. Papers is a 30 year old nobody who got famous for knocking the Queen Bee up. Now he's fighting for custody of their child.
To make matter worse, she may not be the only one losing the crib.
DipSet's Juelz Santana isn't rocking with Def Jam anymore. That loan was recalled and he can't keep his crib anymore. He failed at paying them bills and the bank took his home as well.
Afeni Shakur, the mother of the late rapper Tupac Shakur passed away today. The mother who inspired her son for greatness was found dead in her Marin County, California home.
The family confirmed that she passed away from an apparent heart attack.
Shakur was an activist and motivational speaker. She urged rappers to put aside their differences for the sake of the Black community. There was a brutal hip-hop war between the West coast and the East coast. It led to the deaths of her son and his longtime rival the Notorious B.I.G. (Biggie Smalls).
Her name became famous in the 1995 Tupac Shakur single "Dear Mama" off the Me Against the World album.
Afeni Shakur sued Death Row for all of Tupac's music and licensing fees. She was awarded a cache of unreleased music, movie reels and poems from the rapper who many saw as a poetic but yet troubled soul.
Shakur led the fight to get a museum in her son's honor.
The queen of a pride. Afeni Shakur fought to have her son Tupac Shakur's legacy preserved.
Afeni Shakur (born Alice Faye Williams) was an American music businesswoman, philanthropist, political activist and Black Panther. She acted as her own criminal defense attorney after being accused of taking part in numerous bombings as a member of the Panthers.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Afeni Shakur. The legacy of Tupac Shakur will forever be etched in music history. Afeni, a beautiful woman in the fight for equality in America.
Afeni Shakur you will be missed by me and S. Baldwin.
T'yanna Wallace, the daughter of the greatest MC of all time calls out Sean "Puffy" Combs.
She was totally out of the loop when Diddy didn't invite her to a celebration concert for her father.
T'yanna is the daughter of the Notorious B.I.G., a Brooklyn based rapper/producer who rose to critical acclaim after releasing Ready to Die and put Combs's label Bad Boy on the map.
She took to social media to slam the media mogul for being being a liar and fake ass punk for not including her and mother Jan Jackson. Biggie also had a son with Faith Evans named Christopher Wallace, Jr, known as CJ.
Diddy quickly reached out to her. He said that his made a mistake and he will invite T'yanna and her family to the concert. T'yanna scrubbed her social media posts and told the junk food media, everything is cool.
CJ Wallace. The son of late rapper Notorious B.I.G. and Faith Evans.
The Notorious B.I.G. (born Christopher George Latore Wallace) won praise and respect among most MCs. He also got entangled into a huge feud with Tupac Shakur and his label Death Row. The junk food media labeled their feud the East Coast vs. West Coast hip-hop war. It ultimately ended in the death of Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas in September 1996.
Biggie Smalls as he was also known was murdered in Los Angeles after leaving a hip-hop awards party in March 1997. Some say that the death was a retaliation killing and the murders of both Biggie and 'Pac still remain unsolved.
His last living album Life After Death came out a few days later.
T'yanna was only three years old when her father was gunned down. CJ was only a few month old when his father was gunned down.
The rapper would have been 44-years old if he was alive today. His birthday was on May 20.
Tyga broke and single. His controversial relationship with Kylie Jenner is over.
Almost a year together and I guess the "Rack City" rapper was being plagued with allegations of cheating. The rapper was facing some serious criticism for dating the half-sister of celebrity agitator Kim Kardashian-West.
Michael Ray Nguyen Stevenson (aka Tyga) is officially a washed up rapper. He's burn more homes during his rise to fame and never was charged with arson.
Now he won't have that side chick anymore. Kylie Jenner put the Tyga out.
They are officially broke up.
To make it more embarrassing for the Compton rapper, Kylie broke up with him on his birthday.
Tyga And Kylie Jenner Have Broken Up. Good Thing Or Bad Thing?
Tyga who sparked the internal feud within the Young Money/Cash Money label has been blackballed after he went to the junk food media to blast Drake and Nicki Minaj.
Drake took Tyga to the woodshed. The mother of his son, Blac Chyna went after him for cheating on her with an underage spoiled brat.
The Fan of Fan collaboration album with fellow washed up singer Chris Brown and Last Kings: The Gold Album 18th Dynasty flopped.
Tyga was surviving on the much controversial relationship with the now 18 year old celebrity agitator.
Tyga was going broke fast. He failed to pay his rent on his luxury home. He got Kylie a Lamborghini on rental. He was spoiling this teenager more than his son.
Tyga also played on his numerous flings. One fling, transgender porn star Mia Isabella told the junk food media that he does it "NASTY".
Tyga was allegedly caught sexting a stripper.
Many in the Kardashian and Jenner household were so relieved to hear that Tyga was kicked to the curb. They knew he was up to no good. He couldn't help his libido.
Chris Brown and Blac Chyna had came to his rescue. They were spotted with the rapper trying to at least cheer him up.
The biggest endorsement for the Florida senator is a big bundler for the Republican Party. This bundler gave millions to Republicans like the perennial loser Mitt Romney.
Paul Singer a mega donor came out in favor of Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL). Singer was a supporter of Jeb Bush. He flipped the script on Bush and cashed in on Rubio.
This is a big blow to the Bush campaign.
"He is accustomed to thinking about American foreign policy as a responsible policy maker," the hedge fund manager wrote. "He is ready to be an informed and assertive decision-maker." Rubio is the "best explainer of conservatism in public life today" and can "appeal to both the head and the heart," wrote Singer, describing the senator as the only candidate who can "navigate this complex primary process" and go on to defeat Hillary Clinton.
Money man gave Sen. Marco Rubio a $$$$$$$$$$ contract.
Bush, whose campaign warned donors last week that Rubio is a "risky bet," tried hard to win Singer's support, as did Chris Christie. Sources tell the Times that there was no single moment when the billionaire decided on Rubio, although Bush's dismal debate performance didn't help his cause. At a campaign event in Iowa on Friday, Rubio said he welcomed Singer's support, though he added that "resources alone are not enough" and "you have to have the right ideas and the right principles and convince people that you’re the right person for the job," the Guardian reports. He declined to address Bush's attacks on him, saying he doesn't think "it is a smart thing for Republicans to do Hillary Clinton’s job for her."
Singer warned Republicans that if they continue to push the anti-gay agenda, he might pull back on them. Singer is a strong supporter of Israel. Singer has a son who is gay.
The Tupac Shakur letters from Clinton Correctional go up for sale.
The life and trials of Tupac Amuru Shakur. The controversial rapper's death on the Las Vegas strip was almost 20 years ago. The FBI and Las Vegas Police have not solved this case.
The rapper was gunned down after leaving a Mike Tyson fight. He was the passenger in the vehicle and Big Suge Knight was the driver. They were hit with gunfire. Tupac was hit five times and would be rushed to the hospital. According to the family members and friends, the rapper was put in a coma and stayed alive until they declared his injuries fatal.
The assailants were allegedly members of the domestic terrorist group The Crips. They haven't gotten any good leads. Big Suge right now isn't talking. He's sticking to the G-code despite him facing LIFE in the iron college after he was accused of vehicular homicide which was bumped to murder.
There's talk about a movie being in the works.
Before his death, he was riding high on Death Row Records. The record label helped propel Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Tha Dogg Pound and Tupac Shakur into pop culture. It also earned a notorious reputation for being a front for domestic terrorism. The now jailed former honcho Marion "Suge" Knight was the motivator of the label. He was the muscle and the brains behind the label. Dr. Dre, the co-founder was the producer of most of the Death Row albums until his departure in late 1995. Big Suge had connections to the domestic terrorist group The Bloods. The Bloods had a strong influence on the label.
Big Suge's influence helped Tupac get a "free card". When he was being held up on a sexual assault charge, Big Suge's connections managed to get him out. Almost immediately, Tupac signed a deal to Death Row and release the All Eyez On Me album in 1996.
While he was in the iron college, he wrote letters to his friends and some of the junk food media.
Some of his letters were obtained through an organization willing to sell these items to the right bidder. One letter is going on sale for a hefty bid.
Eight months after the album's release, he would be murdered. Around the time of his death, Death Row released Makaveli: The Don Killuminati The 7 Day Theory. The album release came five weeks after Tupac's murder.
Tupac wrote to Nina Bhadreshwar, a staffer at his record label, Death Row Records. That five-page letter is now for sale for $225,000 from Moments In Time, the New York Post reports. He opens by noting that he's replying to a letter from Bhadreshwar, who worked for Death Row Uncut magazine and her own publication. "I am not granting this information to any other publication, not even Time & Rolling Stone so please represent it as it is layed," Shakur wrote. "I trust u."
He went on to explain that black males in America grow from "young dustkicker" to "thug nigga" to "boss playa" and that "many niggaz never survive the second level of thuglife." He wrote that he himself almost didn't. "A regular Playa plays women, a Boss Playa plays life. A Boss Playa is a thinker, a leader, a builder, a moneymaker, a souljah, a teacher and most of all, a Man! I want all my homiez to know there is another level, it takes heart and courage 2 stand alone face the demons and make a change!" So, since "in my heart the thug nigga has advanced to be a Boss Playa," he wrote, "Thug Life is not dead but in my heart it is."
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.
The Straight Outta Compton movie is the most anticipated movie this summer. And the law fears that it could spark violence. The N.W.A. was founded by Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Eazy E, DJ Yella, MC Ren and the Arabian Prince. The movie is directed by F.F. Gary and Ice Cube.
The album Straight Outta Compton is being re-released today to comply with the movie.
The movie inspired the good doctor to release a "surprise album" this month. Dr. Dre's album Compton, sold over 565,000 albums. It is the "final" album from the media mogul. Dre signed on as a chairperson for APPLE Music, Inc. He relinquished his role in the Beats Audio to join the computer giant for creative and musical releases.
The large cities are anticipating a possible mass shooting event to occur after the film ends.
So they beef up patrol and it's grabbing Ice Cube and Dr. Dre's attention.
It follows N.W.A, which included rappers Dr Dre and the late Eazy-E, as they rose to fame in the late 1980s with lyrics drawing from the violence, crime and anti-police sentiments that the rappers themselves had experienced growing up in Compton.
The movie premiere to the one year anniversary of the Michael Brown shooting.
Reuters reports that Brown's death was one in a series of police killings of unarmed black men and women across the U.S. that has renewed the debate on race and justice.
Against that backdrop, and with security at movie theaters in focus after a gunman killed two women in a Louisiana screening of "Trainwreck" in July, private security and police presence was increased at a number of venues.
"(In this movie) police don't come out in a good light and there is a feeling in the country that is anti-police and anti-establishment, and crowds are affected by movies," Tom DeLuca, president of National Cinema Security, the largest provider of security to U.S. movie theaters, told Reuters.
At a screening in South Gate, a neighboring city of Compton, an employee checking attendees' bags on entry said the theater hired extra security for the film's opening. One guard was stationed outside of the film's screening room.
N.W.A. founding member Ice Cube, one of the film's producers, praised the efforts of the studio and theaters.
"I am glad that Universal stepped up and it's all about making people feel safe," the rapper told Reuters.
Comcast Corp-owned Universal Pictures said it would work with theater owners on any security issues.
"The studio has not solicited enhanced security for theaters who will begin showing it this weekend, but have partnered with those exhibitors who've requested support for their location," Universal said in a statement.
Compton native Eddie Cruz told Reuters at a screening in nearby Downey he hoped the film shed a light on his community.
"The majority of the United States don't really understand what's going on in these cities like Compton or Oakland," he said. "They need to understand what's happening and I think having it shown in movies really helps that progress forward."
Attendees at the first screenings on Thursday in locations neighboring Compton said they were not concerned about possible violence.
"I'm here with my kids. I feel secure," said Leo Olea at the Downey screening. "It's just a movie after all."
Fellow movie-goer Vince Montano added: "I'm pretty sure people are smarter than that now so I don't think there'd be any violence."
The film is projected to top the U.S. box office this weekend with upwards of $40 million, said Rentrak senior analyst Paul Dergarabedian.
"People who are excited to see any movie this weekend are not going to be deterred by any thought of violence at theaters," he said.
The famed rapper, producer and actor with his wife Coco are premiering in a daytime program.
Fox announced the show Ice & Coco will challenge juggernaut Live! With Kelly and Michael.
Warner Bros. will produce the show and it will feature the couple talking about the latest issues and pop culture. It will be considered the sister of The Real which is airing its second season.
Ice-T is the original gangsta. No one can master the art of gangsta than Tracey Marrow.
From 1985 to present, Ice-T has become a legend among hip-hop. He's released the first commercially controversial album Rhyme Pays. The album was the first to carry an explicit content label.
Ice-T was a is the one who released the controversial single Cop Killer with his group Body Count.
He's got the baddest chick on his side. And they're announcing a bump in the road.
On a taping of their premiere show, Coco Marrow (Nicole Austin-Marrow) announced she is a first timer. She joins the club of first time mothers. The pregnancy was the first news broke on the show.
World News Today wish them well on their journey.
Ice-T also continues his role as Odafin Tutuola on NBC's longest running police drama Law & Order: SVU. The Dick Wolf series will premiere another season in September.
The movie based off the Compton rap group N.W.A. is coming to theaters this summer. It's based off the lives of Dr. Dre, MC Ren, Arabian Prince, Eazy E, Ice Cube and DJ Yella.
The group released a two studio albums and a handful of extended plays.
The movie titled Straight Outta Compton. It's based off the debut album of the rap group. It was a breakthrough rap album. It introduced the world to gangsta rap.
Straight Outta Compton is the debut studio album by American hip hop group N.W.A, released August 8, 1988 on group member Eazy-E's record label Ruthless Records.
Production for the album was handled by Dr. Dre, with DJ Yella giving co-production. The album has been viewed as the pioneering record of gangsta rap with its ever-present profanity and violent lyrics. It has been considered groundbreaking by music writers and has had an enormous impact on the evolution of West Coast hip hop.
Straight Outta Compton redefined the direction of hip-hop, which resulted in lyrics concerning the gangster lifestyle becoming the driving force in sales figures.
It was later re-released on September 24, 2002, remastered and containing four bonus tracks. An extended version of the album was released on December 4, 2007, honoring the 20th anniversary of the original album.
Universal Music Group reissued the album on a Limited Edition red cassette as part of their Respect The Classics series.
The cassette was released in time for the annual Record Store Day.
Dr. Dre, Game and Ice Cube appear on the Straight Outta Compton set.
The group began their rise in the 1980s and eventually broke up around 1994.
Eazy E, the group's de facto leader would die of complications from AIDS. Ice Cube would later act in movies, produce his own movies and become a media mogul. Dr. Dre would find Detroit rapper Eminem and sign him to his Aftermath label. Dre would also launched Beats Audio.
Media mogul Ice Cube and Dr. Dre, the world's richest and most powerful player in hip-hop teamed up with F. Gary Gary to make this movie. Cube asked Snoop Dogg, MC Ren and DJ Yella to join him in making this movie.
Who will be in this movie. Some name you may recognize. One being the son of Cube.
O'Shea Jackson, Jr. will play the role of his father.
Others roles are being played by some well known actors.
Jason Mitchell as Eazy-E
Corey Hawkins as Dr. Dre
Aldis Hodge as MC Ren
Neil Brown, Jr. as DJ Yella
Brandon LaFourche as Arabian Prince
Marlon Yates Jr. as The D.O.C.
Paul Giamatti as Jerry Heller
Keith Stanfield as Snoop Dogg
R. Marcus Taylor as Suge Knight
Marcc Rose as Tupac Shakur
The movie is based off the rap groups bond. Their interaction with shady business executive Jerry Heller. Eazy E's rift with Ice Cube and Dr. Dre which lead to the group's demise. Ice Cube would later act in movies, produce his own movies and become a media mogul.
Cube had roles in Boyz in The Hood, Higher Learning, 21 Jump Street, Are We There Yet?, Friday and Barbershop.
Dr. Dre and Big Suge starting up Death Row and signing Snoop Dogg to the label. Dr. Dre would have a fallout with the label.
Dre would sign a young White rapper from Detroit to his struggling label. The signing of Eminem helped propel Dre's Aftermath Entertainment into the mainstream. Dre would also launched Beats Audio equipment and is co-chair of Apple Music.
The rise of Tupac Shakur is being mentioned in this movie. Shakur was not a famous until he started the war of the coasts.
The rapper's fate was met in September 1996. There will a movie about Shakur's life in the coming year.
The movie is controversial. Universal Pictures is producing the movie along with Cubevision, Ice Cube's movie production company.
Of course, this movie was being filmed in South Los Angeles and Compton. The movie was finishing up production when Big Suge decided to crash the set.
Suge's was told to bounce and of course, he got to threatening the security. He would throw his hands up, get into his truck and peel out. When he peeled out he hit a man, killing him.
Now Big Suge's days of freedom could be over. He is being charged with murder. Not involuntary manslaughter. The charge was bumped up after witness told that Big Suge didn't give a fuck who he hit.
Now Suge Knight is innocent until proven guilty. If he is found guilty in this trial coming next year, he will be making toys and clothes from the iron college for LIFE.
Are you going to see the movie?
I might!
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is running in the clown car. He's a huge fan of hip-hop music. He said that he will see the movie. No word from President Barack Obama.
Matter of fact, the president already got early viewing in the White House screening room. That's the perks of being the president.
Change is in the air. The United States has officially opened up the Cuban Embassy.
When the critics say President Barack Obama hasn't done nothing for the world, you shake your head, take a heavy sigh and just move past them. Don't argue with people two feet in the manure.
Don't argue with people who are vehemently stuck in their ways. They will die knowing that they feel right about something even though they're wrong.
Because you clearly see progress in action. The president despite having an inept Congress managed to do more work in his lame duck session than the lawmakers who threaten to unravel progress.
President Barack Obama met with Cuban president Raul Castro at the Summit of Americas and the Nelson Mandela funeral. He told the Cuban president that Pope Francis urged him to make peace with the island nation.
The United States and Cuba are establishing relations once again. The Cuban Embassy is now open in Washington, DC. The American Embassy will be open in Havana.
Secretary of State John Kerry was there for the grand opening of the embassy.
President Barack Obama was confident to improve relations with the Caribbean nation. The nation and the U.S. had some rough relations during the days of Raul's brother Fidel Castro. The Cuban government is pressuring American lawmakers to end the longtime Cuban embargo.
It's coming and we just have to get the inept Congress to do something about it.
A new day has dawn.... The U.S. and Cuba are back on good terms.
By the way, if the inept Congress lifts the embargo, then Americans who seek asylum in Cuba may want to be cautious of the feds coming if you're a criminal.
Afeni Shakur, the aunt of Tupac Shakur is wanted on terrorism charges and murder. She might want to consider coming back to the U.S. before the FBI comes knocking on her door.
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.

Dwayne Carter is currently signed to Cash Money Records. He is fighting to get off the label because Birdman scrapped his album release. Tha Carter V was supposed to come out last year, but it was put on ice. Weezy took to the social media to blast Cash Money. He is currently suing the label for $51 million. He wants his royalties and release from the label.
Now Williams is suing Lil' Wayne and Jay-Z over the release of the Free Weezy Album. Williams, a rapper and media mogul is suing TIDAL over the release of the album.
The microphone dropped on TIDAL for $50 million. According to TMZ, Cash Money Records, Inc. is suing TIDAL claiming that it owns the rights to all of the artists material since he is still under contract. In the lawsuit it mentions that TIDAL's actions were "a desperate and illegal attempt to save their struggling streaming service."
The label also denies that Lil' Wayne gave permission to distribute his album. Weezy got a share of TIDAL. The lawsuit also slams the album by saying it had "tepid reviews."
The album release was on July 4 through TIDAL. It hit retail this week.
Williams' new best friend is Young Thug. Thugger signed a management deal with Cash Money and is an artist who is affiliated with Gucci Mane's 1017 Brick Squad Records. He is dragged into this feud with Weezy.
Thugger, Birdman and Weezy are affiliated with an extremist group called The Bloods.
Jeffrey Williams, 22 is on the rise. The Atlanta rapper released Tha Barter 6. The mixtape/album was supposed to be Tha Carter VI but it was blocked by Weezy's copyright lawsuit.
The rappers traded subliminal before it became out in the open. At one time, Thugger was idolizing Weezy. Now that shit is over, The rapper is warning Weezy to stay in his lane.
The rapper's feud reached the city of Atlanta.

There was a shooting in Atlanta in April. Lil' Wayne's tour bus got lit up.
Lil' Wayne was in Atlanta performing at a club. He was taking a shots at Young Thug. So of course, Thugger's posse went to pay him a visit. The Atlanta police expected trouble and ordered the concert to end.
Lil' Wayne got on his tour bus and was riding on the Perimeter (Interstate 285). The police escorted the bus through Atlanta. But once he left the city, they were on their own. Well I guess one of Thugger's friends was scoping the bus and followed it.
This white Camaro pulls up and puts a handful of slugs in the vehicle. There were injuries and people shaken up by this.
The law put the cuffs on Jimmy "PeeWee Roscoe" Winfrey. He is affiliated with Thugger's camp. The law inspected his phone and saw that he had Thugger and Birdman's phone.
Winfrey was a fucking idiot. For one thing, they gotten the plates of the vehicle. They also scoped the rapper's social media where he posted his ride on Instagram. So a few weeks later, he gets cuffed.
Now he's squealing like a pig. Cause he knows he's going to face the iron college for 15 years if found guilty. Winfrey is innocent until proven guilty.
Now Thugger and Birdman are under investigation. Now the law will watch every thing these rappers do. They could be indicted on charges if the pig squeals.
Thugger's got the cuffs on him this morning for an outstanding warrant. The rapper got a no knock at 6am by the U.S. Marshals in his Sandy Springs home. He was involved with a dire threat at a security officer and a smack up at a club in Janurary.

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.

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.
