Young man was gutted by the law because he was a victim of circumstance.
In South Carolina, a family demands answers to why their son was gutted by the NARC.
Zachary Hammond was a 19-year old teen who lived in the Greenville, South Carolina area. He was killed after the law claimed he and his accomplice peeled out towards an officer.
The family calls this bullshit. Zack had no criminal history.
Zack's death was the state's 29th cop-involved shooting in 2015, SLED said, and at this rate South Carolina will reach 50 shootings by the end of the year.
Zack may have picked up a hoe and took her to a dope spot in the area. As she was grabbing the narcotics, the law surprised them. Hammond thinking it was a set up tried to peel out.
The NARC decided to plug holes in him. He got two to the chest and one to the head. He would die on the scene.
What the Seneca police chief is saying is that the teen should never had flee. Hey, when you're surprised by a man with a gun, what do you do? I would get the heck out of here!
Family says that Zack had no criminal history. He just got caught up in situation.
I mean I understand two things. Yeah, picking up prostitutes is an arrestable offense. But who's to say that he picked up a hoe? That could have been one of his friends or girlfriend.
I understand that marijuana is a petty offense. I mean it's not like they're purchasing much more serious drugs such as cocaine and heroin.
Police Chief John Covington, the officer “fired two shots in self-defense” as Zachary “drove his vehicle directly at the officer” in the back parking lot of Hardee’s restaurant on U.S. 123.
The State Law Enforcement Division is investigating the shooting, and the officer has been placed on administrative leave, as is standard procedure for such an incident, Covington said.
Tori Martin led Zack to a sting operation.
Covington said Tuesday that the car was turning toward the officer and he was in its path. The officer fired through the driver’s side window to keep the car from hitting him as it approached from an angle, the chief said.
“The car was still coming at him,” he said.
Paul Hammond said he thinks his son was just trying to get away.
“I’m sure he was trying to flee the scene, but I think he was shot for fleeing the scene,” he said. “I don’t think you use excessive force for somebody in a Honda Civic that they thought he had pot.”
An autopsy performed Tuesday showed two gunshot wounds to the upper left torso -- one to the chest and one to the collarbone-shoulder area, according to Oconee County Coroner Karl Addis. He died from the chest wound, Addis said.
“We are obviously grieving the loss of our son,” Zach’s mother Angie Hammond said. “This is a most difficult time and the facts as we have been told and (were) reported are in conflict.
“We are conducting our own investigation as to the circumstances of this tragic and unnecessary death.”
Tori Morton, 23, the other passenger in Hammond's car, was uninjured. She was charged with simple marijuana possession and released Monday.
Meanwhile, the unidentified officer has been placed on administrative leave, and the city and officer have both hired attorneys, WHNS reports.
My question is where is the dash camera or body camera footage of this shooting?
Of course 35% of Americans believe the law lies. I agree fully with this notion that the law will do everything to cover up a criminal act committed by their own.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Zachary Hammond.
In the wake of high profile incidents involving police, concern trolls believe its the victim's fault for their deaths.
Okay, here we go again. In the wake of high profile incidents in which police faced harsh criticism for the deaths of people in their custody, the concern trolls come out with the defense of the law.
They head to the social media and blogs such as our and leave their word vomit.
I would suspect these trolls as members of law enforcement or individuals who have ties to those in law enforcement. These trolls would post nonsense like what you're reading below.
Again, I shrink it down so you will have to have a magnifying glass to read it.
Anonymous said... Only in a world as profound sick and decadent as ours would saying police officers - dedicated to upholding the laws governing the very society making it possible for black dysfunction and criminality to be protected - lives be construed as racism and cause a controversy 5:06 PM Anonymous said... Why are we quick to listen to the plight of the carjacker and the drug dealer, so willing to put their behavior in “context,” yet we fail miserably to comprehend the fact that cops — particularly cops in high crime areas — are dealing with domestic abusers, addicts, thieves, murderers, pimps, and the various other dregs of humanity on a daily basis? This might take a toll on your psyche after awhile; perhaps make you jaded, cynical, even bitter. I know it would to me, and I know the police who manage to be decent in spite of it all deserve an immense amount of respect. 5:49 PM Anonymous said... For just being....well you know, could be a death sentence. #IfIDieInPoliceCustodyit'sbecauseIpointedmygunatpolice
Okay, if you have an opportunity to strain your eyes, I want you to understand the grievance by this concern troll.
The troll says that "we are quick to listen to the plight of the carjacker, the drug dealer, so willing to put their behavior in 'context'".
As usual the concern troll blames the victim. Hey, no one is perfect. No one can live in a glass house without a stone being thrown at it. I mean haven't you had a traffic violation or even an encounter with the law?
I have traffic citations. I know people who have criminal history. I've been fired from a job. I don't consent to police searches of my vehicle. I question why the law pulls me over.
The victims who died in police custody have not committed any criminal act. So what the fuck are you bringing up someone's past? It's not relevant to why these officers did what they've done to these unarmed citizens.
This troll says that our "very society making it possible for black dysfunction and criminality to be protected - lives be construed as racism and cause a controversy."
What pisses me off is the racial aspect to this. Black dysfunction and protecting criminality! What the fuck are you talking about? No one supports criminality. Not even the suspects.
Crime doesn't discriminate against race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, political and economic standings.
I don't often use race as a factor to why the victim died in police custody. That's left up to the junk food media and the trolls. Whenever the media releases a picture of the person who died in police custody, obviously you automatically tag race to it.
I can testify to experience that I've been profiled by the law. I had store guards look at me like I'm a shoplifter and I have experienced negative encounters.
I look at this as reckless calls. I also look at the blue wall of silence. This tactic is not official but it's common among those in law enforcement. An officer will defend his brothers. That's why oftentimes the leaks to the media say something positive about the law and something negative about the victim. This is a tactic that often gins up tension whenever someone like this troll says that "politicians and civil right leaders" condone "adjective" dysfunction and criminality.
Concern trolls are like this guy trying to move a boulder.
My psyche is always been common sense. I am reclusive and yet tend to be open minded. I don't have the assumption of guilt of anyone who commits a criminal act. That's why they have the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th Amendments. Even the mass shooting terrorists in Tucson, Boston, Aurora and Charleston are innocent until proven guilty. Those terrorists in Boston, Tucson and Aurora faced the victims in a court of law.
It's because he pointed a gun.... How do you know?
Okay this is comes from the controversy facing the law in Dayton, Ohio. Montgomery County sheriff deputies who claimed that Dontae Martin pointed a firearm at them. They opened fire on him, killing him instantly. The cops reported this but yet they are still in the freezer.
Montgomery County sheriff Phil Plummer went into this claim that "he had a criminal record" and "cop killer bullets" to tarnish the victim. The family says this is a smear campaign and they're trying to shield corrupt lawman. I agree that Josh Haas and Gust Teague may have lied about the encounter.
They deserve the benefit of the doubt but I don't take them at their word given that their captain and lead sergeant were caught sharing racial emails. And this isn't the first time citizens complained about these two deputies.
They have no dash camera or body camera to back up their claims. They didn't have their lights on when this encounter occurred. We have to believe their word. I told you that Haas and two of his buddies, one being James DeBarr were the ones who profiled me earlier this year. Haas was the one who put a slug in a man at a gas station last year.
The family is calling for the U.S. Justice Department to look into the matter.
The concern troll is the "a plague on both your houses" approach, where the concern troll tries to convince people that both sides of the ideological divide are just as bad as each other, and so no one can think themselves "correct" but must engage in endless hedging and caveats. This preys on a willingness to debate critics and allow dissent; everyone wastes time discussing the matter and bending over backwards, so as not to appear intolerant of disagreement, all to the great amusement of the troll.
Do me and S. Baldwin a favor. Ignore the trolls. Don't feed them. Use them as an example to keep pushing harder for police reform. Use them for the opportunity to move the discussion forward.
Tensing in court. Being held on a $1 million get out free card.
Ray Tensing the former University of Cincinnati police officer who is indicted in the murder of unarmed motorist Sam DuBose appeared in court today. The get out free card is $1 million to get out of the iron college.
This controversy is getting major news attention.
Tensing a year on the UC police force stopped Sam for a missing front plate.
Prosecutor Joe Deters threw the book at him. He said that the evidence clearly shows that Tensing violated policy and deliberately lied about how this event happened.
Tensing ran with this story that Sam tried to drag him with the vehicle. Even two other officers claimed this event occurred. What Deters saw was a reckless call and a callous murder of a motorist.
For what, a missing front plate...seriously!
Deters said that Tensing had no business ever being a cop.....Ouch!
In the Hamilton County Ohio Court, the judge was none to kind to him. She ordered him to remain in lockup and have no contact with the family. Of course as the bond and holding was read, some in the courtroom disrupted the hearing. The judge was not kind to them as well.
A loud applause came when the bond was placed. The judge Megan Shanahan wasn't amused by the reaction. She told those in court to fly right or have a court date for contempt.
Who is the suspect here?
Tensing plead not guilty. He will have another court date in August. He is innocent until proven guilty.
Okay, DeRay McKesson is watching this and noticed something about the junk food media's portrayal of the suspect and the victim.
He saw that they ran the mugshot of Sam and uniformed Tensing. The images are to make you believe that Sam was the aggressor and Tensing was the officer protecting himself. The junk food media is getting blasted by the image posted above.
This stuff is common among the racist right. Now I can assure you that it's probably an editor's mistake but way too often they want to take the most offensive pictures of Black victims and run them.
American hunter under fire for killing a famous lion. The hunter does dentist work and people have threaten to knock his teeth out. Interpol and Zimbabwe authorities want his skin in a lockup.
The international outrage aimed at an American hunter who made a reckless call. Walter Palmer is under fire for bucking an endangered lion in Zimbabwe. The lion was known by the locals as Cecil.
Cecil was the alpha of a pride. He was a 13 year old mane who was lured from the national park by bait. He was then sent to a hunting grounds where Palmer put a crossbow in the arm of the lion.
The lion would escape for the time being. It would take over 40 hours until the final blow was done.
Palmer put the slug in the lion. Then of course, he beheads the lion and skin it.
Palmer claims he didn't know the lion was a tag. He said that he's so sorry for doing the hunt. He said he been had.
He paid $50K for the show and he wanted a lion on the go.
The two assistants from the hunt were indicted in Zimbabwe court.
Cecil the lion was killed by an American hunter for game.
Now the U.S. Justice Department, Interpol and Zimbabwe authorities want to skin Palmer alive.
Palmer who has a felony charge in the states for bucking a black bear and lying to a U.S. Wildlife officer about the kill, was allegedly on a watch list. Palmer denies that he was on a watch list.
Palmer's day job is a dentist. He lives in Bloomington, Minnesota and his dentist office was swamped with protesters and death threats. Palmer went into hiding. He shut the doors of his business and got out of town.
Cecil's death created an outrage among animal conservationists, prompted responses from politicians and many other people. Palmer received a flood of hate messages.
The death of Cecil sparked a discussion among conservation organizations about a proposal for a bill banning imports of lion trophies to the U.S., as well as discussions about ethics and the business of big-game hunting.
Global media and social media reaction has resulted in more than 680,000 people signing online petition "Justice for Cecil", which calls on Zimbabwe's government to stop issuing hunting permits for endangered animals.
According to the IUCN Red List, lions are listed as "vulnerable."
A number of high profile celebrities publicly condemned Cecil's killing, including: American actress Mia Farrow, comedian Jimmy Kimmel, conservationist Jane Goodall, actor Ricky Gervais, singer Geri Halliwell, media personality Sharon Osborne, model Cara Delevingne, actress Alyssa Milano, actress Olivia Wilde, actor Judd Apatow, designer Lisa Vanderpump, model Candice Swanepoel, singer Ariana Grande, England cricketer Kevin Pietersen and actor Ian Somerhalder, among others.

Rep. Betty McCollum (D-MN), co-chair of the United States Congressional International Conservation Caucus, called for an investigation of Palmer and the killing.
Clown car contender and concern troll Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) invoked Cecil's death in a comparison to Planned Parenthood's undercover videos scandal, tweeting, "Look at all this outrage over a dead lion, but where is all the outrage over the planned parenthood dead babies."
When one or more new male lions oust or replace a previous male(s) associated with a pride, they often kill any existing young cubs, i.e. infanticide.
Cecil's six cubs will be killed by the new dominant male in the pride, according to Johnny Rodrigues, the head of Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force.
This is being spread around by conservatives. They're bitching about the junk food media ignoring their anti-abortion rally to discuss an American hunter's reckless call to kill a lion.
Contenders for the clown car were in Washington for a rally to stop the women's health organization Planned Parenthood. Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Rand Paul, Benjamin Carson, and Mike Huckabee have decided to join the #BabyLivesMovement.
This movement is sparked by undercover videos of Planned Parenthood.
Conservatives demand Congress strip funding for Planned Parenthood after undercover videos revealed executives sharing stories of selling body parts of dead fetuses.
The House and Senate are planning on a procedural vote before they take another vacation.
If they passed this bill, expect President Barack Obama will veto it. The Republicans don't have enough to override the veto.
So it will likely die in the process.
This defund Planned Parenthood protest was largely ignored by the media. It's been determined that the videos were deceptively edited and the full videos show no incriminating evidence of Planned Parenthood selling body parts. But you can't tell that to the conservatives.
The conservatives are pissed over the media coverage of an American hunter killing an endangered species. I hate to admit this, but conservatives are comparing the videos of Planned Parenthood to Walter Palmer's shooting of a protected lion.
Graphic images of Planned Parenthood doing research.
Palmer is a dentist from Minnesota shot and killed a lion that Zimbabwe monitored. This event sparked global outrage. The American dentist went into hiding and is facing possible criminal charges.
I will discuss the Cecil the Lion story in a moment.
Again, women don't look at termination as a pleasant experience. Nobody believes termination is a good thing. But again, in the case of a woman's health its done when they believe that a termination is worth saving the life of the woman.
Do you want a rape victim to be impregnated by her rapist?
Do you believe that woman should have babies?
Okay, since conservatives are so obsessed with the notion that abortions killed Black babies, say if the woman decides to keep the baby. If a woman (especially of color) has many children but struggles with finances, would conservatives complain that she's emboldened to the gubmint plantation of welfare and food stamps?
The things that concern trolls say about the lives of victims.
In the case of Sandra Bland, she's a marijuana in her system. She got mouthy with the officer. She hung herself in the cell. She was suicidal. She should have put out her cigarette.
In the case of Sam DuBose, he shouldn't have pulled away. The officer had the right to plug him one in him. He had a gin bottle in his ride. The cop loses because of a thug.
In the case of McKinney, those teens shouldn't have been at the pool. Those teens ran up on the officer. The teens were the ones who started the fight. It was a private community. They were all thugs. That young girl shouldn't gotten mouthy with the officer. The officer had a right to pull on the teens because he didn't know if the teens had a weapon.
In the case of the Charleston terrorist Dylann Roof. He wasn't a racist. He had mental issues. He ruined his sister's wedding plans. The gun wasn't responsible for the death of nine church goers. The Confederate Flag is about heritage not hate. The media is overreacting to this.
In the case of Freddie Gray, he's was on heroin and marijuana. He staged his injuries. He was banging his head while he was riding in transport. He had a criminal record. He had a switch blade on him.
Concern troll Ted Nugent.
In the case of Cecil, why are they getting upset over a lion when there's an organization devoted to killing babies?
In the case of gun control and gun rights it's usually a word vomit. One moment they say that Obama shouldn't meddle with the Second Amendment. They believe that guns would solve problems. But in the same sentence they would blame Obama for not talking about every gun crime in America. Don't you liberals care about the gun shootings in Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit and Cleveland?
Notice a pattern with conservatives. Always blame the victim. Find a tangent. Deflect a topic until it becomes less of a topic. Next tragedy happens and conservatives will say now isn't the time for change.
Money talks and a lot of bullshit gets elected. Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-PA) is a longtime Philadelphia lawmaker who is facing a federal slam for corruption.
A longtime lawmaker from Philadelphia is under federal indictment for corruption.
Paging Melanie Sloan of the C.R.E.W., we got another one for you!
Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-PA) served his district for over 20 years. The law handed an indictment based on his association with an aide that helped him gain $$$$$$$$. This is a complex money laundering scheme in which Fattah and his former aid Gregory Naylor would use a million dollar loan for an that a currently unnamed candidate got when Fattah went through his failed bid to be mayor of Philadelphia.
He would then pay back the money with federal grant money that was intended for nonprofit groups that Fattah was associated with.
Naylor plead guilty in this charge. In order to shave off the severity, he sung like a canary and threw his buddy under the bus. Even Fattah's son Junior is under indictment because he obtained student loans from a "wink, wink" nod.
Fattah got served 29 slams. Each slam carries up to LIFE in federal time out if he's found guilty.
Fattah is innocent until proven guilty. These slams include:
Using a secret $1 million loan from a wealthy supporter to back his 2007 run for mayor of Philadelphia.
Repaying the donor's loan through a nonprofit Fattah controlled that had received funding from the federal government.
Attempting to steer a $15 million federal grant to a political consultant who Fattah's campaign owed $130,000.
Using campaign funds to pay a consulting company, which then paid off $23,000 in student loans for Fattah's son.
Taking an $18,000 bribe from an associate in exchange for attempting to secure him an ambassadorship and masking the bribe in the form of a fake car sale.
This year alone two active Democratic lawmakers are under indictment. Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and Fattah have been indicted by the U.S. Justice Department.
Menendez claims that Obama's punishing him for not supporting the Iranian deal. But in reality, he's under indictment for skirting funds to a longtime friend who got $$$$$$$$$ in a medical scam. Also the talk about messing with underage prostitutes in the Dominican Republican comes to mind.
Look at this as a reason to why Congress has low job approval.
Look at this as a possibility for Republicans to seize on a district the Democrats have long secured.
Look at this as a possibility to blame President Barack Obama for the embattled Democratic lawmaker's failures.
Fattah's 2nd Congressional District is SAFE DEMOCRAT. The district represented has a Cook Political Index lean of D+39.
It's ironic, he says he creating solutions to problems, when in reality he is one of the problems.
The possibility of criminal indictments handed to the officers involved in the Cleveland shooting of Tamir Rice could come soon. I won't hold my breath about it.
Anyway, there were numerous events of unrest up in Cleveland. There was a confrontation with officers after they slammed the head of 14 year old teen after he allegedly was spotted with alcohol.
The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority police were met with the #BlackLiveMatter protesters.
The Guardian reports that the officer would put the spray on the protesters.
According to the Greater Cleveland regional transit authority, its officers were taking an intoxicated teenage bus rider to a police station just as the conference was ending about 5 pm. A large crowd blocked the squad car and tried to get the youngster out. One of the officers turned and began pepper-spraying the crowd.
Other law enforcement agencies responded, including Cleveland police department. The youngster was taken examined in an emergency medical service unit, and released to his mother about 6 pm.
No arrests were made. The transit authority did not release the officer’s name. The agency’s officers are not affiliated with the city’s police department.
A video of the incident quickly went viral, and lit a community that is tense from three police-related deaths.
For months, Cleveland mayor Frank Jackson and its top law enforcement officers, as well as Cuyahoga county prosecutor Timothy McGinty, have been pressured by activists unhappy with the handling of the cases of Tamir Rice, Tanisha Anderson and Timothy Russell and Malissa Williams.
Rice, a 12-year-old, was fatally shot in November when Cleveland patrolman Timothy Loehmann mistook his toy gun for the real thing. Neither Loehmann nor his partner, Frank Garmback, have been charged.
This is the part where it got graphic. Ray Tensing, ex-cop for the University of Cincinnati will have a day in court. He was indicted on murder and involuntary manslaughter charges. Sam DuBose wasn't a threat. He was a victim.
The Hamilton County prosecutor Joe Deters has thrown the hammer at a University of Cincinnati police officer who used his service weapon on Sam DuBose.
Me and S. Baldwin have followed the developments in Cincinnati.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Samuel DuBose.
The law put the cuffs on ex-officer Raymond Tensing, 25. He was immediately fired out the cannon once the law determined he lied on his report about the confrontation with Sam DuBose, 43 year old father of 12. The stop was caused by a front place missing. The officer claimed that Sam threw the vehicle in high gear with his arm in the window. He used the service weapon to stop him. He put a slug in his head and Sam died immediately from lead.
Tensing a White cop stopped a Black motorist for a petty offense.
Tensing was nothing but a rookie according to Deters. He even went as far to say that Tensing had no business ever wearing a badge. Tensing was four years with Green Hills and one year with UC.
That means that the evidence on his body camera and dash camera showed something totally different than what he put in his report.
Ray Tensing got a day in court.
The video captured the firing of the service weapon.
According to Tensing, Sam was drunk and offered him a six pack. That would have been the racist right's talking point if the case turned out to be in favor of the law. Tensing claimed that Sam couldn't pull out a license and had a struggle with him. The two struggled for the door. He had no choice but to give a lead sandwich.
What really happened was a routine pull over. It was a calm exchange between Sam and Tensing.
No threats, no physical altercation, no belligerent or aggressive behavior towards Tensing.
Sam explained to Tensing that he was driving his wife's car. He had a closed bottle of gin. He asked why he had to get out the car. Tensing grabbed the door and told him to exit the vehicle. Sam holds the door back and rev up the vehicle. That's when Tensing decided to put the lead in the head of Sam. The vehicle moved only after the lead when into Sam's head. Tensing concocted this story of an aggressive drunk who tried to peel off with his hand in the window.
The University of Cincinnati chief Jason Goodrich let the cannon fire after he and Deters reviewed the video.
Tensing is innocent until proven guilty in this. If found guilty, this ex-cop will get LIFE in the iron college.
Wondering whether the conservative agitators will take the side of Tensing? Of course.
This is the first time in Cincinnati history that an officer got cuffed. The unfortunate circumstances of a cop who felt "threatened" because he saw a Black guy with a nice ride.
A cop who automatically assumed guilt before innocence.
We will keep you updated with anything that comes in this controversy.
The former president of the Taliban who the U.S. sought for aiding terrorist leaders Osama bin Laden and Ayman Al-Zawahrii may have been killed. The United States hasn't confirmed this.
The United States government is trying to confirm that the former president of Afghanistan was killed in an incident. There's no official word on the death.
Mohammad Omar, the Mullah of the Taliban and supreme president of Afghanistan may have been caught. By which caught is the disease that kills without treatment. Some say that he died of Tuberculosis.
The United States doesn't even have an official picture of Omar. He is so reclusive, most of the government business during the time of the Taliban was handled by his English spoken assistants.
They outlawed photography and its possible the only known picture of the leader is what was reported by the BBC.
He was a 6'6'' tall man who had one missing eye. He was the father of 15 children.
There have been several reports of Mullah Omar's death in the past.
A confirmed picture of Mohammad Omar, the Mullah of the Taliban. You rarely see him in public. He doesn't often talk to the press and his government banned photography.
However, this is the first to be confirmed by top sources in the Afghan government.
Mullah Omar led the Taliban to victory over rival Afghan militias in the civil war that followed the withdrawal of Soviet troops.
His alliance with al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden prompted the US-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington.
Meek Mill and Drake are feuding. Pass the popcorn and let's see who's got the bars!
Like Tyga, Chris Brown and Birdman, Drake (Aubrey Graham) ain't going to allow a biter go at him without a response.
The biter is an artist he frequently recorded with. Drake had many feuds with rappers. Some are still ongoing, while others are squashed or not relevant.
List them
Chris Brown - This ongoing feud with the pop singer because of Rihanna. This feud got violent. They had tried to squashed the feud. They even appeared together at the 2014 ESPY Awards. Despite this, Brown went to record with Tyga and launched a series of social media digs and diss at Drake.
Tyga - The rapper wanted to release Last Kings: The Gold Album 18th Dynasty. When he was interviewed by the junk food media, he told the press that he doesn't like Drake. He called Drake and Nicki Minaj phony. Claimed Drake used a ghostwriter. This is an ongoing feud. As with Drake, the rapper has problems with the label. The rapper released the album without support from Cash Money. Drake aimed at the Compton rapper for his controversial relationship with Kylie Jenner on a few songs.
Birdman - Rap mogul feud with Lil' Wayne. Drake offered support to Weezy during his feud with his former mentor. Drake and others have complained of shoddy business practices. Drake released a series of subliminal shots saying that he's leaving after the contract ends.
Young Thug - Drake dissed rapper for siding with Birdman. Thugger has signed a management deal with the label. He joined the Rich Gang this year. Thugger severed ties with Drake, Gucci Mane, Rich Homie Quan and Lil' Wayne.
Ludacris - Entertainer responded to claims made by Drake and Big Sean. They claim Ludacris stole their style of rapping. On a series of mixtapes, Ludacris had aimed at the rappers for biting on his style. This feud was quickly squashed.
Common - Alleged feud started with Drake dating Common's ex, tennis star Serena Williams. The entertainer had subliminal diss aimed at Drake. Drake responded to Common with a verse on Stay Schemin'. It was a featured single on the Rick Ross's Rich Forever mixtape. Common responded back on his version of the song. The rappers traded barbs for a moment. The feud is over.
Kendrick Lamar - Appeared on Big Sean "Control" song and landed a diss at Drake, Sean and others for being fake. Kendrick Lamar doesn't want nothing to do with any of them. J. Cole and Drake, two artists who Lamar worked with in the past have responded to him. On Drake's The Language and Used To, he mention Lamar for being a biter. Drake stated that Lamar is striving to be famous when in reality mediocre.
Diddy (Sean "Puffy" Combs) - He collaborated with Diddy on The Dirty Money-Diddy album. Diddy got into an altercation with Drake and punched him. The media mogul was pissed that Drake and his producer Boi-1da had skipped a beat on him. Diddy wanted Drake to be a feature on his fifth album. The rapper turned it down. Diddy ran up on him in Miami and diva'd up!
Jay-Z - Drake have worked with Jay-Z many times. The rapper felt that Lil' Wayne and Drake have dissed him and Kanye West in their songs. Drake took shots at Jay-Z for being soft. Jay-Z responded back on DJ Khaled's song to call Drake softer than a lacrosse team. Drake passed on the media mogul's music streaming service. Tidal is struggling and was hoping Drake would join the social media service. Drake passed on it. He went on to join Apple for music streaming services. That also sparked the feud.
Pusha T - At first no one seen it coming. Pusha T was the first to claim that Drake was using ghostwriters and stealing flows. Pusha T is officially the first rapper to make the claims of Drake doing that. He also mocked Drake for being signed to five labels and not collecting a royalty check. The rapper have also mocked Drake for being soft. Lil' Wayne reacted to Pusha T on a few singles. Drake ignored Pusha T. This feud is ongoing.
DMX - The troubled entertainer has gotten upset with Drake over the proposed Aaliyah album. Drake using the late singer Aaliyah in his single and the rapper claimed that it was disrespectful for him to do this. This feud is not mentioned in the news.
Funkmaster Flex - The Hot97 DJ has often sparked feuds with rappers in the past. Benzino, Drake, Nicki Minaj and Lil' Wayne are often targets. Flex made the shocking revelation that Quentin Miller, an Atlanta based rapper helped Drake through a handful of songs. He even released "proof" of Drake doing a freestyle while looking at his cellphone.
You can now add Meek Mill to the list.
They just released a song called R.I.C.O. and its getting major play on the radio stations.
Meek Mill (Robert Williams) celebrated his first number one album on Billboard. He can thank the Young Money/Cash Money family for helping him succeed in this. Dreams Worth More Than Money sold 340,000 copies, and stayed on the charts for two weeks. The album has positive reviews.
Meek has Rick Ross on the album. There's no one else from the Maybach Music Group label. He has apparently distanced himself from the rest of the label.
The album has 16 tracks and features Future, Swizz Beatz, Chris Brown, The Weeknd, Diddy
Two of the songs being played on the radio are featuring either one or two acts.
Drake had offered a verse for the album.
Meek is dating Nicki Minaj and has proposed to her.
Despite all this, the money talks and a whole lot of bullshit walks.
Stop comparing drake to me too.... He don't write his own raps! That's why he ain't tweet my album because we found out! 😁
Meek Mill claims that Drake has a ghostwriter for his albums. He also admitted that he was upset that Drake didn't promote the album on social media upon its release. "Stop comparing drake to me too.... He don't write his own raps! That's why he ain't tweet my album because we found out," Meek Mill commented.
Dizzy basically hopped on the microphone and let him have it. In a song called "Charged Up" he aimed at the Philly rapper for his low records sales and his relationship with Nicki Minaj.
Drake pointed out that his mixtape (album) sold 1.3 million in two weeks while Meek sold 340,000 and stalled. He also pointed out that the Meek needs features in order to survive. Dizzy doesn't need a whole lot of features.
UMG has pulled the song from YouTube and it's been leaked on the net.
But I heard it and I can say its a tap.

I’m so sorry
Did you hope I was crying?
It was rough without you

Everytime I leave
Oh, I’m so sorry (six)
Meek Mill responded to the diss. He plans on releasing Beautiful Nightmare and so far his fans are hungry for a release. On his social media page, Meek decided to taught Drake by posting a few hints about it.
This feud with the Cash Money label has Weezy, Drake and Minaj looking for other venues. All of them are feuding with the label. Each of them are pissed with Birdman delaying or shelving album releases.
So far, Lil' Wayne released the Free Weezy Album and it netted him a lawsuit from Cash Money for releasing an album without permission. Weezy accuses Birdman and Young Thug of setting him up in Atlanta. There was a shooting at his tour bus and the former tour manager for Thugger is caught up. He's singing like a canary. Now Birdman is under federal watch.
Nicki Minaj's song Anaconda got shafted at the MTV Video Music Awards. She gets pissy and hits up social media mocking the awards and subliminally dissing Taylor Swift. The pop singers got into a little spat before they eventually dead the feud.
Drake is releasing his fifth album (uh fourth album) this year. He signed to Apple to promote it. This is supposedly the last album on the Young Money/Cash Money label before he strikes it out on his own.
The president aims at the clowns running for his seat. He said that the Republicans in Congress and those who running for the clown car are failures.
Donald Trump was the first to get it. Obama brought up the birth certificate issue. He mocked the critics for wasting time on this issue. He said that Trump's rise in the polls shows the failure of leadership within the Republican Party.
Obama noted Mike Huckabee's criticism of the historic deal to cease Iran's nuclear program. Huckabee compared the proposal to allowing the Holocaust. Obama said that Huckabee changed gears for political expediency. The comparisons are ridiculous.
He also aimed at Ted Cruz for being a douche. Cruz aimed at Mitch The Turtle and Harry Reid for advocating the president's proposals. He believes that the president caved to Iran. Cruz believes the Senate is aiding and abetting Obama.
There are 16 clowns running for the Republican nomination. None of them are inspiring. None of them are willing to accept change. Donald Trump, Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, Ben Carson, Carly Fiorna, Chris Christie, John Kasich, Rick Santorum, Mike Huckabee, Bobby Jindal, Marco Rubio, George Pataki, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Lindsey Graham and Rick Perry are trying to outcrazy one another.
Every one of them go to the most annoying conservative agitator for airtime.
I've said it one too many times. But this time I hope it sticks. I believe that Sean Hannity will help Democrats win the White House. Hannity is so fucking annoying. He can't go a day without dragging President Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton name into it. I mean he is a pure form of word vomit.
Hannity will doom the Republican Party.
Hannity's radio and television program is by far the worst. It's nothing but the constant bashing of liberals, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton. His show is a presser for Republicans. His show is promoting failed policies. His show promotes Islamophobia, homophobia, and racial instigation.
Hannity can't go a day without blaming someone for his own failures.
Going to this right wing carnival will doom their chances at winning elections. I mean seriously, this butt kissing Republican will grant them free airtime. This airtime comes with no results. The candidates are just looking forward to replace Hannity once he gets fired out the cannon. He'll be joining Ed Schultz soon if a Democrat wins the White House.
Trump is leading in the polls and the establishment hates it. Reince Pribeus still having trouble trying to build a rainbow coalition. But so far, he failed at trying to reach out to Black and Hispanic voters.
Right now if you line them against a Democratic nominee, the Republican will lose.
If this was another Obama's reelection, he would beat every Republican running and Hillary Clinton in a primary. Damn the 22nd Amendment.
