Gucci Mane Asks For Reduced Sentence

(AllHipHop News) Gucci Mane appeared in the State Court of DeKalb County and asked for a reduced sentence today (October 28), according to Atlanta’s WGCL-TV.

The case stems from an incident in which a woman was pushed out a moving car in January, after she allegedly refused a sexual proposition from the rapper.

That caused Gucci to pick up two counts of battery, two counts of reckless conduct, and disorderly conduct.

This is just one more incident in a long string of court appearances for Gucci Mane.

Despite a Tweet last week from fellow Brick Squad member Waka Flocka that said, “Gucci home,” on October 21st, Gucci remains incarcerated.

Over the years, Gucci has been charged with murder (he was acquitted), assault, drug possession and other infractions.

Comments from both parties are expected following today’s proceedings.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Did Jay-Z Block Some Young UK Rappers?

DID JAY-Z HATE ON SOME YOUNG UK RAPPERS?

I’m so out of the loop, its pathetic. So, there are these dudes named Konan and Krepts and they did a version of “Otis,” by Kanye West and Jigga. These dudes are from the UK and they did a pretty good job with this remix. But all of them have been removed from youtube and I think even vimeo. Sucks! They are all over twitter and pointing the finger at Jay and youtube. It seems they feel that there is some hate towards them for making money off of the ads on youtube. HM…what do you think?

Part of this rumor is even odder. I heard that Jay paid them like 90k just to go away with the remix. Now, that’s strange to me. Interesting!

50 Cent is releasing a book on “Playground,” inspired by his own experiences on the playground. Told from the perspective of a kid named “Butterball,” 50 hopes the book will help mediate playground conflict amongst kids. “The scenarios in the book are written from the perspective of a child that is being a bully and not dealing with their emotions properly.” While some critics of the book say that the language is too rough for teens and children, 50 Cent believes the book will help bullies understand what is motivating the need to bully other kids.

J Cole, who recently finished up the last portion of a North American tour, recently released his video for the the song “Lost Ones.” The video covers the heavily debated political issue of pro-choice and pro-life political policies and is a video that is three years old. The BBGun directed video was saved for his debut project, which sold over 200,000 copies during the first week. Despite the success of his current project, J Cole recently told Hot 106’s “Rise & Grind” morning radio show that he has songs that didn’t make The Sideline Story and that he will have an album coming out at the end of June.

This has got to be the epic fail of fails for celebrities! I guess Stephen Tyler should NOT have “walked this way,” because his grill piece is allllll messed up!

According to lore, dude took a very hard fall in the shower and now has a face that looks like he went a couple rounds with Iron Mike Tyson. He’s already gotten two teeth replace, but his face is going to have to heal the old fashioned way. Hope he heals by the time “American Idol” returns in 2012. Dude is no spring chicken.
