A WORD FROM FREEWAY RICK ROSS

Illseed Exclusive Statement: “Just saw your question of me being behind [the Gangster Disciples] and a tip. I am not behind it. As I said in prior videos the streets have been mad across the country about misuse of my name and image along with other streets and cities images. I have had to hold people back from addressing it head on. I can’t hold this back without due respect being paid. Publish the requested huff post article and video to make the full position clear.”   Click here for the Huff Po piece he mentioned. ON TO THE RUMORS…
Here is the latest, because inquiring minds want to know.

I know everybody is tired of this whole thing with the GD’z and Rick Ross. Me too. But, its always nice to get a rumor where you hear somebody is trying to work it out. Nobody really knows what happened. Even people like Jo Jo Capone from that zone.

Anyway, I’m hoping peace prevails. I see a lot of blood-curdling chit-chat out there. The Game may be blood, but I am hearing he is trying to help his rap cohort out. I don’t know any particulars. My source also told me that this may be a futile effort, if it indeed exists. The Game’s new album is supposedly very, very good. I have not heard it yet. I have to change that.

Where is Farrakhan in all of this!? He’s right there in the Chi?

Based on his Instagram, Rozay may never see the GDz again. I don’t know. Peep him at some event surrounding Django.

Whoaaaaaaaa – that was a bossy pic and so is this one.

Wasn’t Ross dating Kerry Washington? Oh no. That was….Elise Neal. LOL!

Illseed, Out.

Hip-Hop Pioneer Grandmaster Caz Drops New Book “Written! The Lyrics Of Grandmaster Caz”

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg) Updated Category: MOBILE

(AllHipHop News) Hip-Hop pioneer GrandMaster Caz just released a new book centered around his lyrics titled “Written! The Lyrics of GrandMaster Caz.”

The new softback book contains 44-songs written by the legendary Hip-Hop pioneer, who was a member of the legendary Cold Crush Brothers.

GrandMaster Caz is also credited with writing the verse that rapper Big Bank Hank used on the groundbreaking single “Rappers Delight,” by Sugar Hill Gang, who ostracized Hank in later years over the theft.

“Written! The Lyrics of GrandMaster Caz” contains verses from the rap star’s notebook, published for the first time in print.

The release of “Written!” comes on the heels of GrandMaster Caz’ high-profile appearance in Ice-T’s documentary “Something From Nothing: The Art of Rap.”

“Its hard to describe the constant outpouring of love and respect that I have witnessed for Caz over the two years that it took to make our movie,” said “The Art of Rap” producer Paul Toogood said. “Caz has been described as The Robert Johnson of rap; very little recorded music by Caz exists due to him being stuck in a restrictive deal for 20 years. The esteem in which he is held by his peers is quite extraordinary.”

“Written! The lyrics of GrandMaster Caz” is in stores now at lyricbbook.com.

In the coming weeks, the book will be available on Amazon.com and select retailers around the country.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Ja Rule To Jump On 50 Cent’s Boxing Bandwagon?

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur) Updated Category: Headlines

Ja Rule is getting out of jail next month and I am hearing some stuff already! As you know, Ja has been getting super buffed up while in the bing. He’s also supposedly gotten smarter in that he’s gone back to school and stuff. But, here is what I am hearing. I heard Ja is very aware of the moves his nemesis 50 Cent has made in the boxing world. And, from that, he has determined that he wants to get in the ring with 50 Cent, sources say. YEP! Apparently, Ja Rule wants to punch 50’s lights out for charity! I am hearing Ja has put on quite a lot of muscle and I mean a lot. I don’t want to be specific, but he once weighed like 140 and now he’s like 180. But, I love how rappers decide they want to fight for charity. I can only assume that if they get KO’d they can say it was for a good cause. I think they need to just duke it out. Let Irv Gotti and Sha Money XL work as trainers and get it going. Anyway, there is no way 50 Cent would do this, but he could promote it.

Speaking of boxing, rumor has it, Rick Ross is serious about getting into boxing. I’m hearing he is scoping out boxers. From what I heard, one person has declined, but honestly this source is suspect. We’ll see, won’t we?

Here is Ja. Think he can take 50 out?

Illseed, Out.

Rapper Waka Flocka Flame Ordered To Pay $501,000 Over Shooting

(AllHipHop News) Atlanta rapper Waka Flocka Flame and the company owned by his manager/mother, have been ordered to pay over $500,000 in damages, over a 2011 shooting in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The incident unfolded in February 2011, when Waka Flocka Flame was upgrading the sound system in his tour bus at a car stereo store in Charlotte.

The rapper, who was wearing $100,000 worth of jewelry, claimed that he noticed two suspicious vehicles pulling into the parking lot of the store.

When three men got out of the two vehicles, Waka Flocka’s security team open-fired, because they claimed the men had threatened the rap star.

Police initially described the altercation as a shootout between Waka Flocka and the victim, named Antonio Stukes.

Stukes was originally charged with attempted armed robbery and other charges, but authorities dropped the charges, due to lack of evidence.

According to Stukes’ lawyer, he was simply attempting to hand Waka Flocka his demo CD, when the security guards shot him.

Stukes was shot in the shoulder during the incident.

Yesterday (December 18), a jury awarded $501,000 in damages against Mizay Entertainment, the company that manages Waka Flocka Flame.

Epic Fail Of The Day: The Haters Celebrate Hating Obama Instead Of Christmas

This dude is a political Scrooge. He’s clearly a clown with no life. Who actually goes on a highway, puts up Christmas lights that say “Obama Sucks” on a busy highway during Christmas time. You can’t possibly have a family or friends. They would talk you out of such foolery. You would also have to have a pure desire for money and this is the best route to make it: YOU TUBE VIEWS! Anyway, this is the same dude that was dissing Rick Ross a couple years later. Here is the vid.

This is what Christmas is all about. The time is now and the place is here.

Happy Wins-Day, my determined and resilient!

Welcome to the day that the lazy man rejoices over because it’s close to the weekend, but the
day that the grinder looks at as just another day to reach his/her goals! Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to challenging your challenges!

There are two types of people in the world… Those who let life happen, and those who make life happen! The former is under dictatorship from the outside world, while the latter is the judge and jury! Those who let life happen view challenges as the end of the world and pray for the
day that they can stop suffering. On the other hand, those who make life happen accept all challenges as a way to strengthen their lives and a vehicle that moves them closer to their dreams!

Be the latter ALWAYS! You can either live life as a victim who is always on trial, or you can be the prosecutor who demands justice! The ball is always in your court, so make sure you take control and make your life great! Don’t sweat the small stuff! And when you look at how big your dreams are and what you have to gain in winning, you’ll realize that it’s all small stuff! Challenge Your Challenges!! Nothing Can Stop You but You!!!
