Another hot new record released today is Little Brother The Get Back. This shit is yet another classic on their list. At first i was skeptical of LB without 9th then I rethought that very quickly
The Real Thing is Jill Scotts latest studio album. I just recently acquired this album and it is amazing, from beginning to end it is a very solid souful record. She touches on so many genres from her style of rock n roll to blues to neo soul, pop and hip hop. The production on this is outstanding, I'm not sure who it is but it is some serious shit. Since Ive copped this its strictly been on blastmode in my speakers. If you dont have this you need to cop it right now!!! I am absolutely in love with Jill Scott. Her voice puts me to sleep every night.
How dumb can one human being be. Someone please enlighten me.Rapper T.I. was arrested in Atlanta yesterday [October 13] by agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) after he allegedly attempted to purchase three machine guns and two silencers from an undercover agent, acting as an arms dealer.
In addition to the three machine guns found in his College Park home, police also recovered six additional firearms from a closet in the rapper's house.
T.I. has been charged with felony possession of unregistered machine guns and silencers and possession of firearms by a convicted felon.
According to U.S. Attorney David E. Nahmias, T.I. allegedly sought to purchase an unregistered machine gun, as well as numerous other weapons.
T.I. allegedly paid almost a total of $21,000 in cash to his bodyguard to purchase over 25 firearms on his behalf.
The bodyguard, who was acting as a cooperating witness, told agents that he was purchasing the machine guns on T.I.'s behalf because the rapper is a convicted felon.
The man, who had been employed since July 2007, allegedly purchased nine weapons for the rapper as well as one weapon on behalf of another, unnamed individual.
The bodyguard purchased a total of nine weapons for T.I. and 17 for others on behalf of T. I., because of his prior felony conviction, which prevents him from legally owning firearms.
"Machine guns pose a serious danger to the community, which is why they are so carefully regulated," said David E. Nahmias, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia. "The last place machine guns should be is in the hands of a convicted felon, who cannot legally possess any kind of firearm. This convicted felon allegedly was trying to add several machine guns to an already large and entirely illegal arsenal of guns. Thanks to the good and quick work of ATF, he is now in custody and his firearms have been seized."
The bodyguard, acting as a Confidential Witness [CW] placed a series of phone calls to T.I., which were recorded by the ATF.
The CW called T.I. and said "he had everything," referring to machine guns he was allegedly supposed to purchase on behalf of the rapper.
On October 12, T.I. called the CW and ordered him to deliver the weapons yesterday [October 13].
"This investigation developed very quickly," said Vanessa McLemore, Special Agent in Charge of ATF's Atlanta Division. "We learned only this Wednesday that the cooperating witness was allegedly buying the machine guns for Harris. The cooperating witness told Harris on Thursday that he had obtained the items, and on Friday Harris made it clear that he wanted them delivered to him today. Harris then agreed to meet and took possession of the machine guns this afternoon. He now faces serious federal charges and a potentially long prison sentence."
T.I. will remain in federal custody until Monday, October 15, when he will appear before US Magistrate Judge Alan J. Baverman at the United States Courthouse in Atlanta.
By illseed from allhiphop.com BIG DADDY KANE CRIES?
Lookie here, y’all. Big Daddy Kane IS the blueprint of so many rappers, I don’t even need to start the list. Being a legend is a full-time job and BDK clocks in with the Hip-Hop Honors tour, along with Skillz, The Roots and MC Lyte. Now, I didn’t know this, but the concept of the tour is The Roots and company perform old school Hip-Hop songs to the glee of the crowd. Anyway, the crew had a date in Philly last night and I heard after the Big Daddy Kane set – it was so dope – the crowd started screaming, “We’re not worthy.” I heard that they said it so much that Kane got emotional and dropped a tear or two from all the love the crowd gave him. From what I heard, after the crowd said, “We’re not worthy” for three minutes straight, Kane spoke.
He said to them (something like this), “All I ever wanted to be was considered one of the best and be respected by my peers in the 80’s. Never in my life, did I think that 22 years later y’all would show me that same love. There are kids here that weren’t even born then and know my lyrics word for word.” I heard Kane apologized for getting emotional and said “This is all an MC can really ask for and this means a lot.”
