Young Buck Beats Down ATL DJ, Banned From Station

A recent incident in Atlanta involving Young Buck has prompted one of the city's radio stations to blacklist the Tennessee rapper from ever being played again.

According to SOHH sources, on Sunday (November 26) Young Buck (born David Darnell Brown) performed in Atlanta's Club Nocturnal. After his performance, Buck announced he had some business to handle with Hot 107.9 DJ Will, who was deejaying prior to Buck hitting the stage.

Apparently, Buck did not take kindly to Will's decision to play The Game's single "It's Ok (One Blood)" earlier that night, so he headed to the booth and reportedly grabbed DJ Will by his shirt. Although DJ Will stood up for himself, he was outnumbered by members of Buck's entourage who jumped in. As a result, Hot 107.9 program director Jerry Smokin' B has banned Young Buck from the station's playlist. Read More...

For US rapper Snoop Dogg, getting arrested is about to become a routine activity, if it wasn’t already. For the third time in three months, Snoop Dogg was taken into custody.

Snoop Dogg was arrested near Los Angeles on Tuesday on weapons and narcotics charges after taping a performance at "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno".

A spokesman for the Burbank Police Department said authorities executed a search warrant as Snoop Dogg and a posse of friends and bodyguards were leaving the NBC studio. The roadside stop shut down traffic for hours, according to news reports.

The search turned up marijuana, cocaine, a firearm and a false compartment in a car, said spokesman Sgt. Kevin Grandalski. Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, was booked, and bail set at $60,000 (30,700 pounds).Read More...

Gillie Da Kid Ready To Sign Record Deal

Gillie Da Kid, who came to the entire hip hop world’s attention earlier this year when he exchanged diss tracks with ‘Lil Wayne after claiming he had ghost written for him, says he’s got “offers on the table.”

“He definitely want to do a situation,” Gillie told Vibe.com after a meeting with 50 Cent, one of many meetings he's had with label heads in the last few weeks. “But not no normal deal—more like what Eminem did for 50, where I get to come out and roll out Figga For Life Entertainment, and get all my artists going.”

“I’m working on me and my crew,” he says. “I put too much hustle in to get a normal record deal. I coulda got a normal record deal last year. But now everybody know—I done been in the game too long for that.”

50 Cent Challenges Samuel L. Jacksons On Rappers In Movie Stance

50 Cent urged "Home Of The Brave" co-star Samuel L. Jackson to reconsider his stance on working with untrained rappers after pointing out Oscar winner Jamie Foxx has built a music career on the back of his film success.

The rap star was upset when Jackson refused to appear in his 2005 movie " Get Rich Or Die Tryin' because the Pulp Fiction actor refused to take lower billing to a non-actor. 50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson, says,

"If he insists on taking that stance, people from the music world can look at Jamie Foxx and be upset. Jamie Foxx sold his records based on him being an Oscar-winning actor.

It works vice versa on all different fronts. You see people come from all different perspectives of entertainment and receive opportunities. I don't want to do a movie with a rapper either if he's not 100 per cent prepared for it." Read More...

50 Cent Appalled By James Bond Gun Poster

50 is appalled by the fact no one has raised a fuss about Daniel Craig's gun-toting posters when he was castigated for posing with a weapon in billboards for movie "Get Rich Or Die Tryin".

He said,

"Get Rich Or Die Tryin" comes out and they want to protest because they see a gun in my hand but James Bond comes out or MR & MRS SMITH will come out with guns and it's acceptable.

Let's not start with 50 Cent and stop with 50 Cent. Let's do it everywhere else and make it unacceptable period. I would gladly join the rest of entertainment if we get there." Source

Nas Bringing Back 'Fly Era'

As you probably already know, a highly anticipated track called "Black Republican" featuring Jayz, leaked from Nas' Hip-Hop Is Dead...The N.

"It made me feel like it was '88, that it was all nasty," Nas said with a smile, referring to the sound quality of the leaked version. " 'Black Republican' is out there doing its thing on the street side.

It's been leaked out by somebody. Not by my camp. You just gonna start seeing other records I did on the album. There's no serious format to what I'm doing. I don't like to do what everybody else is doing. This is going to feel like the '80s. ... When rap was real. ... It's time to go to another dimension. The only fly era was the '80s and early '90s." Source

Even though at the time Jay and Nas recorded "Black Republican," Hov's retirement was still technically in effect he said Jigga let him know it was time to make a return.

"The conversation was about everything that would be happening today: him coming back, me dropping my album, us recording, all the potential things we could do. All this was already planned." Source

Michael Jackson 1st Performance Since Trial

Michael Jackson receives the Diamond Award during the World Music Awards at Earl's Court in London November 15, 2006.

Chris Brown performs Michael Jackson's Thriller, on stage during the World Music Awards at Earls Court in London.

Michael Jackson gave his first public performance Wednesday since his acquittal on child molestation charges a year-and-a-half ago — a fleeting rendition of "We are the World" surrounded by youthful singers.

Jackson, 48, sang at the World Music Awards in London, which was honoring him with an award commemorating the 25th anniversary of his hugely popular album, "Thriller."

Michael Jackson did not perform the album title song as some expected. Instead he appeared on stage and sang among a group of swaying, clapping kids — until the musical accompaniment inexplicably stopped.

"There have been so many people who have loved me and stood by me. I love all the fans from the bottom of my heart," Jackson said before flinging his black jacket into the crowd and exiting the stage. Source

Oh well, I guees we'll never know if he still got it.

The Game and Fat Joe came together on Tuesday (November 14) in the heart of Times Square at the Virgin Megastore to buy each other's LPs, both of which dropped Tuesday. Joey Crack took home at least 10 copies of Game's The Doctor's Advocate (see "Game Says Song On New LP Makes Him 'The One-Man N.W.A' "), and Game did the same for Joe's Me, Myself and I (see "Fat Joe On September Release: 'Bet The Kitchen Sink On Me' ").

Before entering the store, Game came from one corner, Joe from another, and both MCs met in the middle and held each other's hands up like two champions.

"I need more copies. Get me about 10 more," Game said later at the cash register. He stood next to Joe surrounded by fans, the media and several kids dressed in doctor's scrubs (doctor's advocates, apparently).

"We're here supporting each other's music," Joe added. "We touching the town. It's legendary; it's unity in hip-hop. I support the Game. His album is a classic. Y'all need to go out there and get that. It's like Christmas right now."

Joe is the King of New York," Game jumped in. "We holdin' it down, going dumb on the album."Source

Birdman & Lil Wayne Album Debuts at #3 -Lil Wayne and Cash Money boss man Baby land in the number three spot on this week’s charts after moving just under 177K copies of their collaborative LP Like Father, Like Son.

The records lead single “Stuntin’ Like My Daddy” currently sits at #32 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.

This release marks the first time the two remaining original Cash Money Millionaires have teamed up for an album and the fifth time one of Wayne’s LPs has debuted in the Top 10.

Gun Charges Dropped Against Banks, Young Buck - Felony gun possession charges against G-Unit rappers Lloyd Banks and Young Buck, arrested last year following a concert at New York's Madison Square Garden, were dropped today (Nov. 8) at the request of prosecutors.

"This whole experience reminds me of the title of my new album -- 'Rotten Apple,'" Banks, said in a statement.

Police said Lloyde and Young Buck, were riding in a van with several other men in August 2005 when it ran a red light in midtown Manhattan. Officers said they discovered a loaded handgun and another weapon in the van.

Lloyde and Brown had just performed at MSG as part of the Anger Management 3 tour with Eminem and 50 Cent.

Prosecutors asked a judge to dismiss the charges after an investigation determined the neither Lloyde, 24, nor Brown, 25, had possessed the guns, said a District Attorney's office spokesperson, who added that one suspect has pleaded guilty in the case and another remains under indictment.

If this s**t is true, then Beanie got knoxed out!!!

Game Leaked His Own Albums?

According to AllHipHop.com the Game leaked his own albums. He admitted to releasing a clean version of Doctor's Advocate as an strategic move.

Game said...

"I already leaked my album," Game revealed to AllHipHop.com. "I already leaked my s**t so n***as know what it is now. All they got to wait for is the dirty version."

"People just don't remember last time," said the Compton rhymesayer. " The Documentary, me and Jimmy [Rosemond] did it at the same time. He leaked it out his way [the East Coast] and I leaked it out mine and it found its way out in the middle. But, The Documentary was leaked on Jan. 2 and my album came out on the 18th."

"You gotta do that. You gotta give people a sample," said the rapper, who compared the process to an interesting trade. "It's like selling crack in the 'hood, man. Anybody that ever sold drugs in the hood knows you gotta give a n***a a taste before they buy.

"I leaked The Documentary the same time last year that I did this album," Game continued. "I got a formula. I know what to do. They know what it is, people hear the joints is classic and you ain't gonna hear s**t that you don't like."

"I leaked the clean version. That's what it is," he said. "Maybe n***as should copy off me, man, but then I'mma notice they copying and then I'm going to smash them. So, they might not want to do that."
