Rick Ross: I Would Be A Correctional Officer Again If I Needed To (VIDEO)
(AllHipHop News) Photoshop could not hide the truth about Rick Ross’ past as a correctional officer and according to Ross, he does not regret it at all. During his interview with Sway Calloway, the Mastermind rapper admits to discussing his past as a correctional officer on his new album.
On the song “Rich Is Gangsta” off Ross’ Mastermind album, he makes an allusion to his past as a correctional officer. In the lyric, he blames federal agents breaking up his operation for his reason for entering the job as a correctional officer:
Feds tore apart the squad, n*gga
That’s why I had to play the part, n*gga
That wasn’t me, it was a job, n*gga
It gets deeper, that was just a start, n*gga
Ross admits that the lyric is “most definitely refers to me being a C.O.” and then later expands on the motivation for him to take such a job while admitting that he would do it again:
Right now, to feed my family, I’d do it again. Yeah, yeah, to feed my kids, I’d go get it. We gonna go get it. My whole team gonna go get it.

Prodigy Talks Performing In L.A. During 2Pac Beef & Getting Love From Kendrick Lamar
(AllHipHop News) Prodigy of Mobb Deep has had his fair share of high-profile beefs during his career. One stand-out is the 1990’s battle he and his partner Havoc had with the California icon Tupac Shakur which included Pac famously dissing the Mobb on his classic track “Hit ‘Em Up.”
[ALSO READ: Mobb Deep & The Lox First Ever Collaboration To Appear On Upcoming Album]
During an interview with Whoolywood Shuffle, DJ Whoo Kid points out that almost two decades later current West Coast rapper Schoolboy Q names Mobb Deep as was one of his influences.
The mention led Prodigy to reflect back on that time in the mid-90’s when New York artists and Cali artists were sending shots back-and-forth. According to the Queens native, Mobb Deep was still greeted with love in California at the time despite the spats on wax.
“Even during that time when Mobb Deep and Pac were going through our sh*t, we still had crazy love from L.A.,” said Prodigy. “We were going out there performing ‘L.A., L.A.’ It was number one on L.A. radio. In the middle of that drama. It was always all love out there.”
The conversation then turned to another new school Los Angeles emcee – Kendrick Lamar. After giving a shout out to Schoolboy, Prodigy expressed his surprise that K. Dot apparently said P is one of his favorite rappers.
“You know what really shocked me was when Kendrick Lamar had named his top favorite rappers,” states Prodigy. “He said his favorite rappers are 2Pac, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Prodigy. That f**ked my head up.”
Prodigy also talks about the upcoming Mobb Deep album, his 90-page novella H.N.I.C., and collaborating with M.O.P. for the first time.

Jury Returns Partial Verdict For Co-Defendant In Jimmy Henchman Trial
(AllHipHop News) The jury in the James “Jimmy Henchman” Rosemond murder trial entered into deliberations this week, and the jurors have already returned with verdicts for Henchman’s co-defendant Rodney Johnson.
[ALSO READ: Jimmy Henchman Murder Trial Begins With Prosecutors Tying In 50 Cent/Game Beef]
According to XXL, Johnson was convicted of conspiracy to distribute narcotics, weapons possession related to drug trafficking, and felony firearm possession. These charges were separate from the additional murder and conspiracy counts he shares with Henchman.
Henchman is accused of working with Johnson to carry out a murder-for-hire plot that killed G-Unit associate Lowell “Lodi Mack” Fletcher. Prosecutors believed that Fletcher was killed as part of a violent feud between Henchman and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s G-Unit crew.
Several former affiliates of the drug enterprise known as “The Rosemond Organization” testified against Henchman with the hopes of having their own sentences for murder and drug convictions reduced. They alleged that Henchman was behind the scheme to have Fletcher murdered and attempts to harm 50 Cent, Tony Yayo, manager Chris Lighty, and others associated with G-Unit.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Can Nerds Get Lupita Nyong’o In The X-Men?
Lupita Nyong’o has taken over the world for a couple of days and people want to make sure she has roles in this Hollyweird game. Well, the latest is a movement to get the young starlet to play Storm of the X-Men. In the comic world, Storm is African, not of mixed heritage like Halle Berry. Halle was never right for that role anyway. But, there were only a few viable candidates for a strong, Black female. But, now things have changed and there’s a movement to put Lupita in there!
The question is, can they get Marvel Entertainment and the Hollywood honchos to pay attention? That remains to be seen.

Curren$y’s “The Drive In Theatre” Mixtape Hits 3 Million Downloads
(AllHipHop News) The future of how music will be distributed may be here now. The evidence of the dawning of a new era can be seen in the highly successful partnership between Jet Life rapper Curren$y and BitTorrent.
The New Orleans emcee’s The Drive In Theatre mixtape has crossed the 3 million download mark in just 2 weeks. While traditional mixtape distribution sites counted for 7% of those downloads, 93% came directly from BitTorrent.
[ALSO READ: Curren$y To Release “The Drive In Theatre” Mixtape As Part Of Jet Life BitTorrent Bundle]
“We’re yet to see the full impact of The Drive in Theater, but judging from the first two weeks and the amount of downloads we’re seeing everyday, I think this will have a huge impact on our Jet Life movement and the direction of mixtape culture as a whole,” said COO of Jet Life Recordings Mousa Hamdan, “I believe our formula has been, and will be, studied and mimicked by artists in the future.”
The Drive In Theatre was the fourth project released through the Jet Life BitTorrent Bundle. Curren$y’s first collaboration with the file-sharing site was 2013’s Red Eye. Fellow Jets also dropped their mixtapes via the bundle. Young Roddy’s Bales (with Curren$y) and Mary Gold’s Sex Hormone’d Druggie were added last year as well.
The concept BitTorrent refers to as “Mixtape 2.0 Culture” has not only impacted Jet Life’s music distribution. It has also increased ticket and merchandise sales for the label.
“We can use the Bundle to promote and drive our merchandise and ticketing initiatives in addition to releasing new music and other media,” said Jet Life’s Digital Marketing Strategist Austin Briggs. “To see fans lining up at the merch table, redeeming their coupons for free Jet Life lighters that they downloaded from our Bundle package – it’s amazing.”
[ALSO READ: Curren$y’s “Jet Life BitTorrent Bundle” Tops 4 Million Downloads]
Up next for Curren$y and the Jet Life roster is an event at this year’s SXSW. The entire crew will be performing at Red 7 on March 15th.
