Nine people and two security guards were taken to the hospital in six ambulances, where they received treatment for lacerations, bruises and other minor injuries.

Akon leapt from the stage during his performance in an attempt to quell the violence, which continued throughout the remainder of the concert, which cost fans up to $125 dollars-per ticket.

“I don’t know if y’all know hard it took me to get here,” Akon said from the shoulders of a burly security guard. “It took me almost two years for Australia to let me back in the country and I’m not going to let them f**k up our concert tonight.”

One man was arrested for assaulting and knocking a security guard unconsciousness, while another six people reported injuries, but refused treatment.

According to reports, it took Akon almost two years to receive his work permit in Australia, due to his prior criminal record.

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.PLIES IS A WILD DUDE!!!!!

I would really like to sit down with Plies and talk to him. He is very interesting. So, here is what happened over the weekend at FAMU. Gucci Mane didn’t perform and Plies was put as his replacement. Well, Plies did something that was close to unthinkable. He saw a lil’ girl in the crowd that he felt was too young to be subjected to his “buss it baby” lyrics. What does Plies do? He take a $1,000 out of his pocket and gives it to the girl and PAYS her to LEAVE so “her parents can take her somewhere nice.” I heard the girl was about 11 years old. WOW! This isn’t the first time Plies has done this sort of thing. Remember a year or so, Plies gave a girl his chain at a basketball game? That’s wild. This dude might be the new conflicted rapper trying to change his life around or something.

Seems like Plies and Kay Slay have some beef. Click here for that.

JAMIE FOXX TALKS ABOUT PLIES

Jamie Foxx drops some bombshells on the radio about Plies running from beef and some real talk about what’s going wrong with Hip-Hop.

FAKES ON NEW MICHAEL JACKSON MOVIE?!?

The new Michael Jackson is being touted as the greatest entertainer’s last performance, even though he didn’t get to do that tour. Well, this is the latest. It appears that the producers lacked footage and they sought to augment it with some MJ impersonators. I think I am going to side with Joe Jackson on this one. Joe is the one that started this allegations. The producers say that is not the case and that it is ALL Michael Jackson.

Shout out to flysociety305!

MAYBE THERE IS BEEF WITH JAY AND BEANIE!!!

I’m not even going to edit this up. Read this letter and tell me what you think about it. The typos and stuff are in the letter.

I wanted to comment to the jay z beanie beef stuff you had up. Im from philly and last night 10/25/09 i was listening to power 99 with golden girl and she was giving the backstage scoop of what happened at power house and she was like hov didnt want to perform or go on stage with sigel in the building. she was like hov had the feds, state troopers, and philly pd escort sigel out the building. so when hov went on stage someone let sigel back in the building and sigel went on stage at the opposite side of hov and she was like when hov saw him he had the shook face like what the f**k. then she was like hov had the cops escort sigel out again and sigel wasnt tryna leave but eventually he did. just thought i let you know wut golden girl was letting people know wut really went down behind the scences and that ” i run this town” wasn’t @ meek mills

TWITTER FOLLIES: CHRIS BROWN IS SICK OVER RIHANNA

AllHipHop’s twitter sent this out last night from Chris Brown. Seems he is having a hard time getting over Rihanna.

RT @allhiphopcom RT @MechanicalDummy: http://bit.ly/17yJE3 IM SORRY YALL. JUST HAD TO POST IT (CB feelin it!)

ILLSEED’S QUICKIES

They are going to drop the murder rap against the dude Richardson that fought AJ Jewell in the strip club. Looks like there was a preexisting problem.

I am hearing there is going to be a high end divorce soon. Stay tuned on that one.

Lil Wayne might have to cut his dreds if he goes to jail. That would be a bummer.

FOXY BROWN DISS SONG WITH DUDE BOSS….

There may be too many rappers with the name Boss right now. But, check it out around 1:45 mark and you can hear Fox’s diss and her verse.

CHANCE ENCOUNTERS

Chance runs down some rumors and things going on in the music game. Some of this you read about already, but some of it is pretty interesting. RUN DMC THE MUSICAL…may be coming to Broadway real soon. Rev Run, DMC and reps for Jam Master Jay have been meeting with Paula Wagner, the producer of Mission Impossible, to bring their story to the Great White Way (Broadway). Unfortunately Jim Jones’ musical didn’t quite make it to the mainstream so hopefully this can put Hip Hop on the NYC theater map. RIHANNA NOT A DEVIL WORSHIPERLast week Tiffany Evans (the promise ring girl) went on a Twitter rant claiming RiRi’s new song is demonic and a lot of people in the music industry actually worship Satan. Well the producer of the song has come to RiRi’s defense…he said:“There are no satanic messages in the music.

Maybe if we did a remake of Promise Ring, then

Rihanna wouldnt be a devil worshipper. People are so closed minded.

The song is not literal. Like most provocative art, its symbolism. Grow

up. Im never going to defend my artI create it and then its out of

my hands. So reviews dont hurt me, but Tiffanys unrealistic take on

the song really irked me because idiots breed idiots. Bottom line, she

is in the music business so she understands that the song is not

indicative of the artist views, but rather, its the brainchild and vision

of the songwriter and producer. With that being said, to use that song

as a shining example of devil worship in the music business, you are

saying that Ne-yo and Chuck Harmony are devil worshippers. That’s

stupid!! Thats beyond stupid, its immature. Artist should understand

art. So with Tiffany Evans rant, I can safely say that the title

artist should not be part of her bio.”He definitely told her…Ne-Yo, who wrote the record, even chimed in saying Rihanna asked for a dark record with a meaning so he used Russian Roulette as a metaphor:“Im listening to the track, and all I can see is Rihanna

and some random person sitting across from each other at the table with

a gun sitting in the middle of the table

and playing Russian roulette. And I just started thinking, What would

go through your mind if you was in that situation? I played it for her, and she loved it…Its definitely dark, but if you think about it, Thriller was

dark, but its one of the biggest-selling records of all time. Nobodys

really going out to play Russian roulette or thinking about killing

themselves or nothing like that. It was just an interesting topic over

a crazy beat, and who better to pull that off than somebody like

Rihanna?GIVING BACKI must say Yonkers artists do a good job of giving back to our community. The other day Mary J. Blige was back home for the ribbon cutting of The Mary J. Blige Center for Women. She teamed with Steve Stoute and Gucci to open the center which she hopes will help women bounce back

from traumatic experiences and realize their goals through career

development, personal growth programs and scholarships. Here’s to you Mary…P.S. Mary’s new album has been pushed from November 24 to December 15…she’ll be going up against Alicia Keys who also pushed her album back 2 weeks WHOSE THAT GIRL???Gucci Mane and Usher shot the video for the lead single off Gucci’s album coming in December last week and Usher isn’t the only A-List feature in the video … He recruited Eddie Murphys daughter Bria to be his leading lady … she’d been modeling for a while but this will be her video debut:

Kay Slay Blames Album Delay On Plies; Replaces Rapper With Yo Gotti

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg) Updated Oct 26, 2009 at 3:10pmCategory: News

A cameo appearance by rapper Plies on Kay Slay’s upcoming album More Than Just a DJ has caused a rift between the emcee and the Hot 97 radio jock.

According to Kay Slay, he approached Plies about appearing in the video for the first single Blockstars, which originally featured Plies, Jim Jones, Busta Rhymes and Ray J.

Their relationship soured when Plies proved to be difficult for the veteran South Bronx DJ to reach in an attempt to shoot the video for the single.

Blockstars is the first single off of More Than Just a DJ, which is Kay Slays fourth official album.

The release was due in stores October 13 but was pushed back until December, while a new version of the single and video was shot.

I had to push my album to December 8, because the f**k boy gets on the record, the f**k boy clears the record, the label do all the clearances. Then when its time to do the video, the n***a gets low. Stopped answering the phone, all kinds of crazy s**t, Kay Slay told AllHipHop.com. But that’s cool because at the end of the day, the n***a really don’t owe me nothing. But as a man, you’re supposed to do what men do. If you gonna do something, just honor the s**t. If you don’t want to, don’t f**k with it.”

According to Kay Slay, he wasted no time in choosing a replacement for Plies and choose Memphis rapper Yo Gotti to appear on both the track and the upcoming video for the single.

“He [Yo Gotti] did the video and he wasn’t scared to come to New York anywhere to do the s**t [without] saying I need this amount of police to do this and a n***a got have on a uniform and all kinds of all f**k boy s**t,” Kay Slay snapped.

Kay Slay, who hosts the popular Drama Hour on Hot 97 in New York each Saturday, implied that a combination of Plies youth and his platinum success was impairing his judgment.

“This is what happens when these n***s come around early and you show them love,” Kay Slay said. “Plies has been on my show twice. Once n***s get a few checks…I believe it’s n***s around him, because the kid can’t possibly have did that s**t blatantly after he came and said this, that and the third.”

Plies is currently experiencing chart success with the track “Becky” and “Wasted” featuring Gucci Mane.

“We got motherf****ers like Jim Jones who done sold millions of records, and Busta Rhymes, who has sold millions of records, they do the video with no problem,” said Kay Slay.

Fans of Plies can catch the rapper performing “Wasted” with Gucci Mane during the Bet Hip-Hop Awards on BET tomorrow evening (October 27).

DJ Kay Slays More Than Just a DJ is in stores December 8.

The album features cameo appearances from some of Hip-Hops biggest acts, including 50 Cent, Drake, Juelz Santana, Raekwon, Bun-B, OJ Da Juiceman and others.

LA Reid to be Honored at 2009 Soul Train Awards

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg) Updated Oct 26, 2009 at 2:00pmCategory: News

Distinguished executive and current Island Def Jam CEO Antonio L.A. Reid will be honored this year at Soul Trains annual award show.

The successful mogul initially began his career as an artist: first with the short-lived 70s funk band Pure Essence, and then joining Kenny Babyface Edmonds as a member of The Deele. That group spawned several 80s hits, including Body Talk, Shoot Em Up Movies, and Two Occasions.

Babyface and Reid partnered in 1989 to form LaFace Records, a powerhouse imprint in Hip-Hop and R&B that brought Outkast, Goodie Mob, Usher, TLC, Toni Braxton, Pink, and Donell Jones to national prominence.

During his current Def Jam tenure, Reid has been instrumental in guiding the multi-platinum careers of Kanye West, Jay-Z, and Mariah Carey.

The award show will be hosted by Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson, and also honor music icons Chaka Khan, Charlie Wilson, and Babyface with music tributes spanning their legendary careers.

At press time, the confirmed line-up of artists includes Toni Braxton, Trey Songz, Erykah Badu, Robin Thicke, Fantasia, Ryan Leslie, Chrisette Michelle, Raheem DeVaughn, Karyn White, Boyz II Men, Ledisi, Chico Debarge, Angie Stone, Brian McKnight, Ginuwine, Melanie Fiona, and Johnny Gill.

The 2009 Soul Train Awards will be taped on November 3 at Atlantas World Congress Center.

The event will broadcast on BET and CENTRIC on Sunday November 29 at 9PM.
