Scorpio Stinging. Nelly got busted in Tennessee for contraband and firearms.
There was a movie produced by Spike Lee called Get On The Bus. It starred Charles Dutton, Ossie Davis, Issiah Washington and Bernie Mac. The movie was based on the Million Man March. The men were traveling from Los Angeles to Washington, DC.
On their journey, they go through a stretch of Interstate 40 outside of Knoxville in central Tennessee. They were pulled over by the state patrol. The state patrol claims that they've observed suspicious behavior. The Tennessee State Highway Patrol officers accuse the men of using the bus to smuggle drugs. The bus and its passengers are searched, turning up no evidence of drugs; the troopers reluctantly allow the bus to progress.
The movie was a fiction. It was based off a true story of an experience.
I guess one entertainer experienced it and got lock up for it. The Tennessee State Highway Patrol net themselves contraband, firearms and a rapper.
Cornell Haynes, Jr. (aka Nelly) went to county lock up.
The 40-year old rapper was on his tour bus and it was interrupted by a traffic stop because of non-conforming U.S. Department of Transportation and International Fuel Tax Association stickers and subsequently searched by Tennessee state troopers which netted methamphetamine, marijuana, over 100 ziplock bags and numerous handguns, including a gold-plated 50-caliber Desert Eagle pistol. Nelly was officially booked into the Putnam County Jail, was charged with felony possession of drugs, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
He made bond onthe weekend and was released on bail.
Wondering if Pimp Juice would rather fly instead of taking the tour bus?

The historical handshake between U.S. president Barack Obama and Cuban president Raul Castro signals progress. Conservatives are foaming at the mouth over this.
President Barack Obama heads down to Panama for the Summit of Americas. During his visit the junk food media is covering the monumental handshake with Cuba's president Raul Castro.
The powerful symbolism of a substantial exchange Saturday between the leaders with the leadership of the Western Hemisphere gathered around them could signal progress. Both sides are still working through nettlesome issues that would lead to the opening of embassies in Washington and Havana, the first stage in a new diplomatic relationship.
The United States is turning the page and willing to engage with Cuba. The president will talk to Castro and consider lifting Cuba off the list of state sponsored terrorist nations.
Obama believes the time has come to lift the embargo against the Communist nation. The conservative outrage is off the chain. They believe that Cuba is still a threat to the United States.
The president is trying to ease tension with the island nation. It's been over 50 years, and many young voters support the idea of talking to Cuba and Iran. Many old school Cubans, the racist right, and agitators are foaming at the mouth complaining about how shaking hands with Castro is disgusting.
Cuba's Raul Castro and his brother the former dictator Fidel have been in power for years. According to the media, their regime has killed thousands of Cubans during the revolution.
The peak of conflict happened when then president John F. Kennedy launched the Bay of Pigs invasion.
The conservatives believe that this appeasing, anti-Semitic, Socialist, Commie, aloof, racist, Muslim Obama is weak on foreign policy. They believe that talking to Iran and Cuba is treasonous.
The Republicans threaten to derail any talks with Cuba and Iran.
Defying the odds is makes Barack Obama a great president. He isn't afraid to engage with the countries the junk food media label as enemies.
The Republicans claim that Obama is willing to talk to "our enemies" and "shun our friends".
This stems from the Benjamin Netanyahu fiasco. The controversial Israeli prime minister is trying to encourage American lawmakers to push for more sanctions against Iran. The global powers are coming to an agreement on the Iranian nuclear program.
The Republicans are trying to stall or pass legislation to derail this historical deal.
Will Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) appear on GOP Sundays to bitch about the handshake?
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?
