Now, the new year just got interesting. Last week, 50 Cent was asked who he wanted to get into the ring with to “fight” and he quickly name checked Flo Rida. And, guess what? Flo accepted (on Twitter)! 50 Cent was promoting his fighter last week when he said this so I’m not so sure he’s serious. But, he did say he wanted to something for PPV, and both he and Flo Rida are about that paper. This means to me, anything is possible. I still don’t think this is possible. Now, who would win is a different story. Some say the Flo Rida would win, because he’s a bit younger and not quite as rich, but people don’t realize, 50 used to box. So, I think I have to give 50 Cent the edge on that.
Who would win a boxing match between Flo Rida and 50 Cent?

Rumor has it BMF Wives, the reality show about the ladies of the Black Mafia Family, will have a home. Only thing, I heard it ain’t VH1. The cool part of it is that this will continue to extend the brand of BMF for the people trying to change the perception of the crew’s legacy. And what a legacy it is. Recently, the ladies got the support of the one and only Big Meech who previously didn’t approve, according to rumors. The show will show the women’s side of the BMF story and dispel some of the misconceptions about BMF. With a new label headed up by Bleu DaVinci and a reality show co-signed by Big Meech…this may be BMF’s second act.
Here is some behind the scenes footage of the show.
Meech has a fiancee! Wow!
WHAT THA….
Deelishis acting like nothing happened, but her co-defendant is telling it all with a joke. Michael Blackson is cracking everybody up with his jokes. SMH!

Happy Wins-Day my movers and shakers! Welcome to day you begin to do ANYTHING that you put your mind to! Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to your possibilities! The person you are right now is full of possibilities! Right now where you stand there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that you cannot do! The problem is that often times we allow our eyes to be the judge of what can and cannot happen forcing us to accept false limitations! Just because it cannot be seen just yet doesn’t mean it will not happen! Understand that you must believe it in order to see it and not the other way around. As Gandhi said “Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If you keep on saying to yourself that you cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that you may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if you have the belief that you can do it, you shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if you may not have it at the beginning.” NEVER STOP BELIEVING…. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!! -Ash’Cash
“If we all did the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves.” -Thomas Edison
“Master yourself, and become king of the world around you. Let no odds, chastisement, exile, doubt, fear, or ANY mental virus prevent you from accomplishing your dreams. Never be a victim of life; be it’s conqueror.” -Mike Norton

“Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done.” -Louis D. Brandeis

(AllHipHop News) The triple homicide shooting that claimed the life of Oakland rapper Kenneth “Kenny Clutch” Cherry is nearing completion but not before some complications.
Prime suspect, 26-year-old Ammar Harris challenged his extradition from to Nevada from California on Monday (March 4th) after being captured last Thursday (February 28th).
Harris was arrested at a Studio City apartment complex in Los Angeles.
Harris’ defense attorney relayed his client’s request for police and/or other Nevada authorities be summoned to Los Angeles, California to identify him as the correct fugitive.
A possible way to challenge state to state extradition would be for Harris and his attorney to prove Harris was not in Nevada at the time of the murder.
A highly unlikely scenario since the arrest warrant states the police used interviews as well as Taxi cab dashbord and casino camera videos to tie the self-described pimp to the Haze nightclub Cherry attended on February 21st.
According to the arrest warrant obtained by The LA Times, the video footage shows Harris leaving the nightclub at the same time Cherry was leaving the casino lobby. Shortly after, Harris walked over tot he driver side of the Maserati Cherry and his passenger, Freddy Walters were in. Harris, in his Range Rover chased after Cherry after he sped off. A Luck Cab dashboard cam revealed that after a heated chase on Las Vegas Boulevard “the Range Rover pulled into the path of the Maserati, a horn sounded, and approximately one second later, as the Range Rover was next to the Maserati, a gunshot was fired,” according to the arrest warrant.
Another way for Harris to successfully beat extradition would be to prove he did not fire the shot that killed Cherry.
Not much more of a plausible option as the only person with Harris in the car was identified as 22-year old Yenesis Alfonzo. However, Las Vegas police have stated Alfonzo is no longer a person of interest.
Harris faces three counts of murder and one count of attempted murder, plus counts of discharging a firearm into a vehicle and discharging a firearm out of a vehicle. The Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfso said he would not rule out seeking the death penalty for Harris’ alleged actions.
AHHHHHHHH….Fans are great, but remember fan is short for “fanatic.” some folks persist to take it too far. Welp! Here is the latest one. Rihanna has this sexy tat that is well know all across the world! RiRi is an original but her fan stan will now go down as a permanent carbon copy. Hope she’s beautiful like Rihanna or this won’t help her get any points.
Damn. Rihanna is sexy. Maybe this tat can work on another chick.

He has returned a free man with the case being dismissed after reports from TMZ of Woodside being “uncooperative” released.
Rejuvenated by this positive turn of events, the aggressive MC is ready to capitalize on the momentum he created before being thrown behind bars and restricted to house arrest.
Gunplay spoke exclusively with AllHipHop and took us on a play by play of his first week of being released since the case was dismissed:
“The next day I was in New York with the Bath Salt Boss…with Rozay at [BET’s] Rip the Runway. I’m just chilling. It feels good to be around my dog and my family , I was just chillin smoking good ..reflecting on how these donkey n*ggas try to take a n*ggas s### ..that don’t stop nothing we working ,we blessed ..we prayed up”
Gunplay also spoke about his upcoming Def Jam debut album, Medellin and what its going to take for it to find a release date.
“Shout out to Def Jam they ready,” says the heavily tattooed Rick Ross associate “they just need that one hit, so I’m working. Sitting down with Rico Love and it’s been 7 days since the case got dismissed. This is the 7th day today. I’m in the studio with Rico Love dropping that crack”
The highly demanded singer/songwriter/producer Rico Love touched on reaching out to Gunplay to help work on his debut album:
“Gunplay is one of the illest lyricist. People don’t know that and people don’t understand how sick he is with the flow. How diverse he is. He can adapt to any beat. I’ve heard him rap on beats with all different tempos. I always was impressed with his delivery an even his bars. Line for line I think he has alot to offer the game”
I caught a lil wind from a birdie today. The birdie said that Juelz Santana is being looked at as the subject for a reality show too. First it was Cam and now its him. The game has changed a lot for these rappers. Now, its cool to put your real life on the screen straight like that. Anyway, I am getting some other details but I cannot really divulge them or the source is going to get their spot blown up. All I can say its its a pretty interesting look and I think it will help Mr. Santana a lot in his career.
(AllHipHop News) Julio Acevedo is wanted for allegedly murdered a pregnant woman and her husband in a hit-and-run accident and was already a murderer before that unlucky incident.
Acevedo is also the man who murderede Brooklyn gangster Kelvin Martin, better known as the original “50 Cent”.
According to police reports, the 44-year-old was allegedly speeding in a 2010 BMW at double the speed limit and crashed into a cab with Nachman and Raizel Glauber along with their unborn child on Sunday (March 3rd).
The 2010 BMW after the crash
Williamsburg photographer Shimon Gifter was on the scene and told the New York Post that Acevedo returned to the crash site after initially fleeing once helped out the mangled BMW:
“It was absolutely freezing, and this guy was wearing a sweater, smoking a cigarette. He looked very nervous. He just looked at the crash and went back the same way he came, up Kent Avenue. He just disappeared.”
The Hassidic Jewish couple died in separate hospitals as Nachman passed away from head injuries at Beth Israel Medical Center and Raizel was sustained long enough for doctors at Bellevue Hospital to deliver a C-section before she eventually died. The newborn baby died the following day (March 4th) on what would have been his 21 year old mother’s 22nd birthday.
Acevedo was arrested a few week prior on February 17th at 3:15 A.m. for drunk driving in a separate BMW.
His rap sheets extends past drunk driving and includes drug possession, reckless endangerment, robbery and the infamous 1987 murder of the original “50 Cent” which he served over a decade for in prison.
“You waited 13 years, what’s two more hours.”-Questlove
The perpetually jovial Hip-Hop historian/drummer/everything Questlove said this around 11 pm to hundreds of people who had been standing in sardine formation for hours waiting for a 9pm show to start. Mick Boogie did an exceptional job entertaining the near riotous crowd with an expert blend of old school cuts from almost any and every artist that ever participated in the Soulaquarian movement. However, with no opening act and the crowd body heat reaching critical levels people began to plan exit plans. Some concert goers were even overheard giving the reclusive genius until 11pm to materialize or he would be replaced with DVR viewings of “Girls”.
Once the 5’6, 38-year-old phenom emerged dressed in all black like The Omen with Questlove in tow (sporting a “Free P#### Riot” shirt) disgruntled sighs quickly turned to jubilant yells. Before his ravishing opening cover of Sly and the Family Stone’s “Let Me Have It All”. Before his beautifully controlled wailing high notes on Voodoo‘s “The Root”. Before the show really started, all there was were two men and hundreds of cheers.
Then history began.
Unofficial moderator Questlove informed the crowd from the beginning this performance will resemble the numerous jam sessions him and D’angelo have when recording music. That feel permeated every facet of their performance. Whether it be the unspoken back and forth joking between two longtime friends during songs such as The Funkadelics’ “Cosmic Slop” or how each song bled into the next, the performance always retained this organic feel.
The set list took the gleeful spectators through classics from D’angelo’s two masterful albums 1995’s Brown Sugar and 2000’s epochal game changer Voodoo and also covers of bands that influenced the brilliant singer. D’angelo’s vocal command was as crisp as ever with only a few spots during a cover of The Ohio Players’ “Our Love Has Died” showing signs of rust natural with such a prolonged absence from regular live performances. An underrated talen of his is his expert musicianship and the way he manipulated the Fender Rhodes and Hohner D6 Clavinet while belting out intricate vocal patterns was mesmerizing. The big voice did not match the sheepish demeanor D’angelo displayed throughout the night.
Following a rendition of “Really Love”, the packed Brooklyn Bowl crowd applauded so loudly Questlove and D’angelo could not communicate, prompting the always loquacious drummer to deliver the night’s most heartfelt and revelatory moment.
“Keep clapping. Let him know he is loved or y’all might have to wait until 2044 for the next album.”
There was a microphone in the center of the stage that was not used for one single song. D’angelo, the emblem of the golden era in neo-soul returns to Brooklyn for the first time in over a decade and opts to play on the side instead of center. This was not simply another test run for a D’Angelo re-acclimating himself to not only the grind of performing but the realization of his immutable impact. This was a reclusive genius coming out of hiding to see not if he still had it but if the people still wanted it.
He only spoke one word in the center mic, a singular “yes” at the end of jam session. He was answering Questlove’s question “Is the album almost done?”
Besides a few soft spoken “Thank You’s” and one “I love you too” he let the music speak. After the last cymbals crash on the epic Voodoo closer “Africa” and the two men returned to the backstage area, fans did not have to wait 10 years for a follow up performance but rather a few minutes for the encore. D’angelo and Questlove capped the night off with a soul-stirring rendition of Brown Sugar‘s “Alright”.
Overall, D’angelo proved why he is in another stratosphere than the new generation of experimental urban singers(read: Frank Ocean/The Weekend). D’angelo has reentered himself into the national consciousness and the only thing left is to hear the as-of-yet untitled album before he can dust off the crown he relinquished over a decade ago.
Here is the complete set list:
1) Go Back To The Thing / Let Me Have It All (Sly & The Family Stone cover)
2) Cosmic Slop (Funkadelic cover)
3) Woman’s Gotta Have It (Bobby Womack cover) / The Line
4) You Caught Me Smilin’ (Sly & The Family Stone cover)
5) Tell Me If You Still Care (The S.O.S. Band cover)
6) Our Love Has Died (Ohio Players cover)
7) The Root
8) Alright / Mother’s Son (Curtis Mayfield cover)
9) Really Love
10) New Position (Prince & The Revolution cover) / Africa
11) Lady (encore)
Check out D’angelo perform the Brown Sugar cut, “Alright” at last night’s Brooklyn Bowl show:
