WHICH OF THE CHICAGO BULLS HAS TAKEN UP RAPPING?
Whoa! Who told Carlos Boozer to pick up the mic AND then put Twista on it. I understand Twista reps the Chi, but daaaaaaaamnnnnnn! He only makes Carlos look bad. Maybe this is a joke or something? Check it out!
I hope the Bulls win, because The Heat is bussin' that tail right now. All the song says is that he's not going to lose...I dunno!
BET EXPLAINS WHY TRINA WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE BET AWARDS
We need some female rappers! Here Stephen Hill explains why Trina was excluded in the Best Female Hip-Hop Artist category.
“Much to my dismay, we had a total of four artists who submitted videos during the eligibility period (April 1, 2010 – March 31, 2011),” he explained. “We had four women submit videos where they were the leads, not as a feature but as a lead: Nicki Minaj, Diamond, Cymphonique and Lola Monroe. Since we usually have five people who are eligible in the category and we only had four people… it’s kind of easy math. The Lola Monroe video features Trina, but as feature that doesn’t make you eligible for a piece of work under your own name.”

Rick, is there anyone you don’t fuck with comedically?
R: I fuck with my homie right here. We don’t fuck with Carrot Top.
A: I don’t think I would step to Carrot Top, though—he’s jacked as hell. [Laughter.]
But maybe if you were rolling with the Bawse…?
R: He’s got the Bawse with him now.
A: That’s true, yeah, I’d go at it.
R: Yeah, we said it. Fuck Carrot Top!
Jimmy Henchmen Responds To Warrant
“With the Name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful I have decided to break my silence to address slanderous media once and for all. Firstly, I want to apologize to every music artist and executive I’ve worked with. In addition, I apologize to my family and friends who have had to endure this horrible situation.
The events over the past week, to say the least, have caught me off guard. Although I have been aware of an investigation-taking place over the last four years, I was never informed that an arrest warrant had been issued in my name. I first learned about that warrant through the media when the news was released last week.
The purpose of this statement is not to assert some kind of grandiose conspiracy theory, but I will state some facts. These prosecutors have already begun my trial through the media and I’m releasing this statement in order to set the record straight. I just want a fair trial. I came up from nothing and made some mistakes early in my life of which I have already served time. Since then I have worked hard to establish my career in the music industry only to be targeted by these opportunistic prosecutors with a personal vendetta against me.
I would like to expose the two prosecutors spearheading this slanderous and trumped up case against me. The first, prosecutor Todd Kaminsky, is a 33-year-old White hip-hop head that if he weren’t a lawyer he would probably be a member of the Beastie Boys. Second, Carolyn Porkony, who failed in convicting the Murder Inc. Irv Gotti brothers on trumped up charges of money laundering. Both have a personal stake in pursuing me and will stop at nothing to bring down an innocent man.
I have endured slanderous media for quite some time. Last year, in their frustration, they employed Chuck Phillips and the Daily News to write baseless stories in the media saying I was a snitch (but never mentioned or produced one person I ‘snitched’ on) to hopefully get people to start cooperating with their bogus investigation. Chuck Phillips started a campaign against me and wrote dozens of letters to inmates serving considerable time in federal prison begging them to cooperate. When those tactics didn’t work, they subpoenaed every person that knew me or worked with me in the music industry, including my accountants, lawyers, secretary, etc.
What compels me to expose this is that I know if I don’t I will not get a fair trial. Todd Kaminsky is hanging his hat on this case and has gone beyond his office to make sure he sensationalizes this to propel himself to some high-end law firm or political office. This is obvious from the deals he has already given his ‘witnesses’ to testify against me. Henry “Black” Butler, a known rolling 60’s gang member, and wife Leah Daniels who are Kaminsky’s star ‘witnesses’ were arrested with drugs and machine guns in Los Angeles. Butler was promised five years and his wife got her case dismissed in exchange for implicating me in their operation. I know nothing of Butler’s criminal activities and was never involved with him concerning those criminal activities. I just know him as a self-proclaimed gangbanger who told jokes all the time and worked for Loud Records in the 90’s. They leaked all this false information about me to the media and left out the truth that Henry Butler denied my involvement until he was promised a reduced sentence of five years if he included me in his operations. There’s absolutely no evidence that supports my involvement in any of this, yet I have been implicated with someone I have no associations with. Through our own investigations, we have compiled a lot of information that proves the prosecutors are overly zealous and aggressive, not to mention unconstitutional. They gave witnesses immunity and have gone as far as to threaten individuals with indictments if they didn’t talk to them about me and corroborate their tales. For instance, Ali “Zo” Adam, whose serving 18 years was offered a lesser sentence and the witness protection program if he testified against me. He refused saying he couldn’t live with the lie but admitted he was tempted by the offer. Many were tempted with the prospect of freedom and hence a case with no evidence was born against me. THIS IS NOT JUSTICE.
Khalil Abdullah’s indictment was leaked in the media as well. I never saw my name on that indictment, and I don’t know what I have to do with whatever he’s been indicted for. Up to now I don’t know what I may be charged with or what crime I’ve committed. For the last 10 years I’ve dedicated myself to servicing the music community but because of my so-called ‘checkered past’, I’ve become an easy target for prosecutors Todd Kaminsky and Carolyn Porkony, not to mention fiction writers like Chuck Phillips and his Daily News cohorts.
If the government is relying on informants like Winston “Winnie” Harris, a convicted drug dealer and Jamaican deportee, who came to me and motioned via hand signal that he was forced to wear a wire and begged me to skip town or Dexter Isaac who is serving life in prison plus 30 years then I’m sure I will not be offered a fair trial. Where’s the real proof that I have committed these crimes? I just want my fair trial and to not be railroaded as they so eagerly want to do.
A fair trial is afforded by the constitution and witnesses should be forthright without pressure or duress. That’s all I want and I’ll turn myself in today.
Again, I apologize to my peers, artists and family for being subjected to all of this.
ESGN: Freddie Gibbs “5 Reasons To Bench Boozer”
After noticing Freddie Gibbs’ insightful and often humorous observations on sports through his Twitter account, Rap Radar decided to give him a forum to express his thoughts on the thrills of victory and the agonies of defeat. It’s Gangsta Gibbs Wide World Of Sports. The black Bill Simmons is here. And for his tenth colomun, Gibbs gives his reasons as to why Chicago Bulls’ Carlos Boozer ought ride the pine.
Man, you can go back to Utah with this bullshit.
I knew I didn’t like Duke for a reason. The players that come out that bitch are usually soft in the league. I like Grant Hill, Elton Brand is OK and I can deal with one Duke player on my team in Deng. But Boozer? Goddamn.
You’re the most overrated dude in the East to me. Last night was probably your best game in the playoffs and you still didn’t make an impact. Somebody correct me if I’m wrong but it seems like everytime you touch the ball Carlos it’s a disaster. You either turn it over, or you get the rebound slapped right out of your hands. Soft. Totally Soft. You play with no real aggression. Just a bunch of
hype, mean faces and chest beating. You had the nerve to criticize Chris Bosh—who is just as soft as you by the way—and then you made him look like Willis Reed in Game 3.
Well #5, you’re definitely not living up to the 5-year, $76 Million contract the Bulls gave you last year, and I know it’s still early and there’s always next year but fuck that, I want a ring now so here’s 5 reasons why we should go in a different direction than Boozer being our second option.
#5. We play better without you.
Shiiiit we was on a run while you and Noah rode the bench. We won like 16 out of 20. We got a pretty decent bench and they come in the game way more hungry than you. You don’t even average a double double no more dog.#4. You make too much.
For a dude in the 13 million a year range you should be putting up All Star numbers. Maybe it was just the system in Utah that made you look like an all star. I don’t know what it is, but everytime you shoot a jumper I close my eyes and put my head down. When you gon dunk on somebody? Like for real. You look like Karl Malone on the Lakers right now. You should take a paycut so we can bring in some guys that really want that chip dog. I’m just being honest.#3. Did I mention you were soft as wet toilet paper?
Whether it’s a bobbled pass, a dropped rebound, you gettin blocked or whatever I’m just sick of seeing it. You go to the hole expecting to go to the free throw line instead of using that 266 pound frame to go bang Bosh ass out the paint. I know you ain’t a 7-footer but damn. Your defense is a mystery. I ain’t seen it all year. I’d honestly rather us start Taj Gibson, he got more intensity, but you got the big salary so you gotta get those minutes.#2. That wack ass rap song.
All you athlete niggas that try to rap let it go. Kobe and Allen Iverson should be example enough that y’all niggas need to stick to hooping. You don’t see me coming to no fuckin tryouts. Shaq the onlynigga that showed y’all how to do it right. I still bump “You Can’t Stop The Reign” with Biggie that’s my shit. Shouts out to real athlete/musicians like Wayman Tisdale (RIP). That shit was wack, Booz, I love the BULLS to death but I can’t support it. You single-handedly changed my feelings about my team in the playoffs. Every time I watch the game now that musical atrocity comes to mind.#1. Dwight Howard:
Yea Yea I know all y’all Laker fans hoping and praying that Superman comes to the West Coast. Bynum gone, Gasol probably gone and Kobe need help. But fuck him he got 5 rings. Come to Chicago, Dwight and play with a winner like D. Rose. He carried the team all year and with another superstar not a Boozer next to him we’ll get 6 more rings and destroy the Knicks dreams of ever getting another one like we did in the 90s. (sorry Lambo) Hell I ain’t no CPA or nothin’ like that, but I think we actually got enough bread under the cap to get Dwight and keep Boozer, but I’d rather he come off the bench and we might have to get rid of him, Noah and Deng to make the trade. So be it.Fuck y’all this my opinion. My team on a championship drought and I’m not liking the way we playing right now. Definitely gotta make some changes Miami got more talent than us but we can beat them if we make the right adjustments and Boozer quit playing like a bitch.
Shouts out to YN and B Dot. I’m out this bitch til Monday.
Rick Ross Covers VIBE
Ross takes the top off on the cover of VIBE‘s June/July Sexy issue. As part of the issue, Power 105.1′s Angela Yee rounded up the Maybach Troops for a roundtable discussion. Video after the jump.
Angela Yee: Have you ever messed with a girl that you were embarrassed about and you hoped no one finds out?
Wale: When I was younger. Seeing them in the club the next time like, Damn, if I could see me from last week I’d beat the shit out of me. I’d put a roofie in my own joint so I don’t end up talking to this chick.
Meek Mill: Like 3:30 in the morning, not having a girl. It be like that sometimes. I fuck a lot of bad women, don’t get it twisted. I got a thick one, a little husky… I got that one and she’s always around. And people found out I hit it—
[All laugh]
Mill: She ain’t fat. She’s thick. She’s like 25 percent over the line.
Pill: She had a few too many goddamn double cheeseburgers.
What about you, Ross?
Ross: I be sliding through the ‘hood, I can’t lie. I love extravagant exotic women, but I come from the ‘hood at the same time. So if I’m in my Chevy riding through the ‘hood and you see one of those ghetto girls in a hot pink shirt, you’re just like ‘Hey, put your number in this.’ I’m still in touch with the ‘hood like that.
You’re giving back to the community.
Ross: I still give back. I can’t even front.
Pill, I’ve seen you with some crackheads.
[All laugh]
Mill: Pill is a ‘hood nigga, for real. He doesn’t give a fuck. Pill: On some real shit, I’ve had some that didn’t look all that right. I play like I ain’t know it that day in the club because—
Ross: You can’t act like you don’t know it. Wale: That’s what makes them go crazy.
Pill: I ain’t gon’ lie, one of my worse experiences was waking up in the morning years ago and I looked over to my left and said, “Aww, man, what the fuck were you doing, dog?”
Ross: I can’t sleep the whole night with a chick. Before sunrise, shorty, you got to go. Pill: Obviously, I was too fucked up in the first place to have you in my bed and in my house if you’re looking that bad. So I went to sleep and when I got up, I’m asking you, “What went down? Did I really just…”
Ross: You done ate the pussy.
