Rapper Jim Jones Pleads Not Guilty In Ne-Yo Assault Case
Harlem, New York rapper Jim Jones appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court this morning (February 4), where he pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor assault charges.
The rapper was officially charged on January 5, for his role in a Christmas Eve brawl with members of Ne-Yo’s entourage.
Jones was issued a summons by the New York Police 18th Precinct to discuss the brawl, which happened in the Louis Vuitton store on 5th Avenue in Manhattan.
Today, through his attorney, Scott Leemon, Jones stood before a Judge, where he entered a plea of not guilty.
“I entered a not guilty plea on his behalf and [Jim] was released on his own recognizance,” Scott Leemon told AllHipHop.com, adding that the Assistant District Attorney sought a $1,000 bail for Jones, which the judge denied.
A motion schedule was set today, with Jones’ next court appearance coming on March 24.

Brother of Black Eyed Peas Member Murdered
AllHipHop.com has confirmed that Joven Pineda Deala, brother of Black Eyed peas member apl.de.ap, was shot and killed yesterday (February 3) in the Philippines.
According to Chief Inspector Wilfredo Paulo, Deala’s girlfriend witnessed the murder.
The pair was reportedly eating in the victim’s car while outside the woman’s Angeles City home.
After the slaying, the gunmen allegedly fled the scene on foot. Deala, struck with a mortal head wound, died on the way to a nearby hospital.
At press time the police have no suspects, but confirmed they are looking for two individuals. Chief Inspector Paulo elaborated there was no apparent motive for the attack.
apl.de.ap is a founding member of the international superstar group Black Eyed Peas.
Since forming in 1992 under Eazy-E’s Ruthless Records, the Los Angeles-based group has undergone several musical and lineup transformations in route to selling 27 million records worldwide.
The group’s fifth album, The E.N.D. (The Energy never Dies), is slated to be released in May.
apl.de.ap has not released an official statement on the tragic crime, but has confirmed he will attend his brother’s funeral. Joven Pineda Deala was 21 years old.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Akon Signs Foxy Brown? Bow Wow’s Revenge! New 50 Interview!
DISCLAIMER:
All content within this section is pure rumor and generally have no factual info outside of what the streets have whispered in our ear. Read on.
THE DAILY TWO CENTS
As you know, Rick Ross and 50 Cent have been feuding pretty heavily. For all things on the beef, click here…we’ve complied a running play-by-play. I hear there is a new one called “Finish Him” by 50. I really don’t know if we need this at this point. Maybe it should just fade away like Joe Budden vs Saigon…
Check out the screen shots from the new Rick Ross street video below in the post.

50’s INTERVIEW WITH BIG BOY & DEEZY!
DID AKON SIGN FOXY BROWN?
There is this rumor that Foxy Brown signed a deal with Akon. What do you think of that? I think Foxy still has potential, especially since the female rapper seems to be a declining breed. From what I understand, Foxy’s got to mend some ties at her fan site foxboogie.com to help her get back.
R.I.P. FOR THE BLACK EYED PEAS
I have some bad news from the Philippines and I think this is 100% try. The police over there say a brother of apl.de.ap of the Black Eyed Peas has been murdered from a gunshot wound. According to early reports, Joven Pineda Deala (the brother) was shot in the head Tuesday while he and his girlfriend ate in his car. They were parked outside of her house. He was only 21. No motive and no suspects. Definitely offer my condolenses to apl.de.ap, whose real name is Allan Pineda Lindo.
NEW UPDATE ON RAY-J
My homey hit me up on a Ray J /Whitney rumor a ways back. Well, he is back and he’s got more information. Since the show started, there is new intel and more clarifying to do. From the previous rumor, you may recall that the true nature of Ray’s whole connection to Whitney is rooted in his relationship with her “goddaughter.” Well, the girl on the show is named Lil B. Well that is Ms. Houston’s goddaughter and the true way Ray and Whitney met, from what I understand. . If you check Ray’s myspace, that same Lil B is on his top as Babi Doll. I heard they are about to start Season 2 already. How crazy is that? Ray-J really is the new Flavor Flav of Love.
CHUBB ROCK IS BACK!
I know there are some that don’t remember Robocop, much less Chubb Rock! But I remember him! He’s dope and he’s back! From what I understand, he’s already finished a new album and it is in he process of being mastered or something. Anyway, I understand that Erick Sermon did some of the beats, along with some others. I love and respect the old school so Iook forward to it.
SPAM BEEF ALERT: BOW WOW GETS HIS PAYBACK ON SOULJA BOY!
With all due respect to this situation, it has run its course. It is kinda corny, with all the Rick Ross and 50 Cent going on. I do admit, Bow Wow got a leg up on Soulja Boy right now. LOL…this is a “cute” beef. HAHAHAHAAHAHA!
ETTA JAMES HAS WORDS FOR BEYONCE?
AW man. I don’t like to hear this stuff, because I think there has to be unity within the generations. That may not be the case though. Etta James, who Beyonce played in some movie last year, is taking it to her younger counterparts NECK! She dissed Obama and Beyonce, saying “she gonna get her ass whipped” and “I can’t stand Beyonce.” OUCH. Audio below.
At least she is still performing.
MIMS JACKED GILLIE DA KID?!
Did Mims jack “Gillie Da Kid” swag on his new song “Move?” And how does he feel about being referred to as a “one hit wonder?” Well Mims recently stopped by “Live with Kendra G” (100.3 The Beat) and answer all those questions and more! Check out the interview now for yourself. And Mims even gets personal when talking to Kendra G and admits that he lost his virginity AFTER high school! Wow!!!!
ILLSEED’S QUICKIES
Amy Winehouse is reportedly looking to avoid bad influences by moving to Jamaica. Sounds like it could go both ways. As long as there is no crack, we’re cool.
Erykah Badu and Jay Electronica named their baby girl Mars Merkaba. Nice name!
Usher had a wine bar called The Grape and it has totally closed down. Grape Enterprise, the company that owned it, shut its doors too.
Halle Berry and man Gabriel Aubrey are looking to have another kid or 3. “[We’re going to] keep it under 4,” he told Hollyscoop.
I just wanted to wish Cam’ron a happy birthday! I think its today!
Somebody that did time with Suge Knight’s child’s mother saw her on Baldwin Hills. She is the “aunt” in jail, but I don’t know her name.
EPIC WIN OF THE DAY?
This boy got the juice of a acid trip, legally and at the dentist. LOL.
There’ no street MMA yet. HAHA! Shout out to Devin in ATL. I think I am going to use that to help me fall asleep at night.
EPIC FAIL OF THE DAY
This fight is such a funny farce they look like they want to dance more than squab. You have to have you A-Game when the camera is on. LOL.
T.I. EXPLAINS WHY THERE IS NO “SWAGGER LIKE US” VIDEOTheYBF.com’s crew had the chance to talk to T.I. and I got this out of the interview. He explains why there was no “Swagger Like Us” vid:
The reason there hasn’t been a video for “Swagger Like Us” is because the guys just can’t get together. We can’t keep Kanye in the country, we can’t keep Jay off a boat, and we can’t get Wayne off the (tour) bus. But we’ll all be together for the Grammys. I doubt we’ll even be able to rehearse because of everybody’s busy schedules. We may just step on stage. (Laughs) [He promises surprises at the show though].
T.I. IN COLUMBUS!
RICK ROSS’ NEXT MOVE IS REVEALED!

Kool Keith Introducing New Alias ‘Tashan Dorsett’
Hip-Hop veteran Kool Keith has announced a new album that will introduce his latest alias – Tashan Dorsett.
The rapper revealed to AllHipHop.com that he has linked with longtime producer DJ Junkaz Lou to produce Tashan Dorsett in its entirety.
Keith, a founding member of pioneering group Ultramagnetic MC’s, is revered for reinventing himself multiple times under different aliases, including Dr. Octagon, Black Elvis, Dr. Dooom, Big Willie Smith, Rhythm X, and Sinister 6000.
“Tashan Dorsett is the reality person from New York City with an image of being real and regular, dealing with daily life situations,” Keith explained to AllHipHop.com. “The essence of urban living to it’s all time fullest, block after block, the brick buildings, the hot sun, areas and struggles of the ghetto I myself walked and experienced. You can’t live it through television, you have to walk out and touch it like I’ve done for years. To all the areas that many people will not visit, I will constantly.”
The Tashan Dorsett album comes on the heels of Keith’s 2008 release Dr Dooom 2, the rapper’s 12th solo album since the launch of his career in 1984, with Ultramagnetic group members Ced Gee, Moe Love and TR Love.
Kool Keith has worked with artists like DJ Q-Bert, Dan The Automator, Ice-T, Kutmasta Keith, Marc Live and numerous others.
Tashan Dorsett hits stores February 24th on Junkadelic Music.

Sculptor Sues Diddy Over Unforgivable Bottle Design
A Massachusetts-based sculptor is suing Sean “Diddy” Combs over the design for the bottle of his popular Unforgivable fragrance.
In a lawsuit filed last week in Springfield federal court, Tom Patti claims that Combs stole the copyrighted designs of his one of his creations, Compacted Gray With Clear and Ribs and Modulated Solar Airframe, in order to create the bottle for Unforgivable.
He is suing the entertainment mogul for copyright infringement, trade dress infringement, and unfair competition, which stems from “defendants” improper taking of Tom Patti’s designs and the associated goodwill through Defendants’ unauthorized use of the product configuration and packaging for its Unforgivable cologne product.”
The suit, which also named Sean John Clothing, Inc. and Estee Lauder Companies, Inc. as defendants, further noted that Unforgivable debuted around the same time that Patti’s designs were exhibited at the Heller Gallery in New York in 2006.
According to the artist’s lawyer Steven Roth, the similarities between the bottle and his clients designs are to obvious to be ignored.
“Tom Patti is a world famous glass artist whose work is displayed in the Louvre, the Met and MOMA. Ever since Unforgivable came out in an imitation cradle, similar to Tom Patti’s work, people have been questioning the similarity of the two works,” Roth told E! News, adding that the comments prompted his client to “take action against Sean.”
“Significantly, in the author’s view, ‘[s]imilarities between Patti’s sculptures and the ‘Unforgivable’ design include the choice of color, the architectural elements, the proportions, the exposed ridges, the layers, and the curved top.’”
As a result, the suit alleges the confusion has damaged Patti’s “goodwill and hard-earned reputation” as well as caused a loss of “sales, and/or other opportunities for monetary relief.”
Since its debut, Unforgivable has emerged as a leading fragrance among consumers.
The success of the scent resulted in the release of Combs’ latest fragrance I Am King.
Both brands captured the attention of the public with promotional campaigns in various print, television, radio and online outlets.
According to Roth, Unforgivable’s sales were enhanced by the bottle’s attractive shape.
The attractiveness of the scent can be directly linked to Patti’s designs, he added.
A representative for Patti revealed that that the artist would have to prove the Unforgivable cradle designer had knowledge of Patti’s work or access to the work.
Patti is seeking unspecified amount of money from the suit as well as a court order to halt the use of design due to the copyright infringement.
