Bay Area Rapper PSD Arrested With 6,000 E Pills
Bay area rapper and producer PSD Tha Drivah, a protégé of the late Mac Dre, remains in custody at the Sacramento County Main Jail, facing charges of possession with intent to distribute ecstasy, following an arrest at Sacramento International Airport earlier this month, AllHipHop.com has confirmed.
The 34-year-old rapper, born Steven Davison, stands accused of attempting to board a flight to Oklahoma on July 14 with 6,000 ecstasy pills hidden in his clothes, which were discovered after he was selected for a security screening.
During the screening, Transportation Security Administration agents discovered a bulge in Davisons leg, which he claimed was a colostomy bag.
Believing that he had a justified medical condition, authorities say a TSA supervisor offered to examine PSD in private, at which point he asked to go to the restroom.
According to Special Agent Brian Nehring in an affidavit to the U.S. District Court in Sacramento where Davison appeared for a hearing yesterday (Jul 24), once in the private room, a Sacramento County sheriffs deputy searching Davison found one hundred dollar bills totaling $5,600 in his front pocket.
During the search, Davison changed his story about the contents of the bag in his pants, first telling authorities that it contained vitamins, then saying it was a bag of ice.
As his behavior became increasingly suspicious, the deputy decided to handcuff Davison, at which point he removed the bag, containing 1,000 ecstasy pills.
He had reportedly hidden the other 5,000 pills in the screening room, where he had been alone for a short time prior to the search.
Signed to Thizz Entertainment, the company co-founded by Mac Dre before he passed away in 2004, PSD That Drivah was one third of the Cutthroat Committee, alongside Dre and Dubee.
Following his 1997 debut Game Costs, PSD went on to release six solo albums through 2005, before releasing 2007 Da Bidness, a collaborative effort with Keak Da Sneak and Messy Marv.
PSD is ineligible for bail until his next court appearance, scheduled for Monday (Jul 28).

“Get It Together”
Tech N9ne: The Killer
Tech N9ne is nothing like your typical rapper; he doesn’t need big name producers or an outsized budget to generate sales. His new double-disc album Killer is on deck, and it’s generating momentum toward his millionth album sold independently. There is also a thirty-city Strange Noize tour about to take life, as well as his Strange Music record label to man. But Tech isn’t sweating all the responsibility, this is what he does. Kansas City’s finest pumps the brakes to give the details on creating Killer, selling a million copies, the M.J. swag on the album cover and the whispers of retirement swirling around.AllHipHop.com: Why did you decide to mock Michael Jackson’s Thriller album cover for Killer?Tech N9ne: The imagery behind Killer man, what I was trying to say is that when you think of Michael Jackson, not his personal life per-se because I ain’t with that [laughs], but when you think of Thriller you think of 50 million sold, 100 million worldwide. That’s the highest selling pop album. So what I was trying to say is [with] Killer, this would be my highest selling rap album. All Killer, no filler, I just had to pay homage to a veteran in the game, Michael Jackson.AllHipHop.com: You been in the game for a while now and this is your first double disc album, was it a marketing strategy or did you have a lot of music you wanted your fans to hear?Tech N9ne: I don’t write meaningless s**t, so it’s like if I got 32 tracks that means I been doing a lot of living, I have a lot to talk about. What happened was I had 19 beats slated for this album, when I got through writing [to] those 19, Travis O’Guin, my partner, just kept feeding me beats. I said, Ok, keep feeding me beats. After I did 25 I’m like, Ok, is it too late to do a double album? He said, Nope, so I kept going man. He kept feeding me beats that were hardcore, what can I do, so a double album came in a months time, [its] crazy.AllHipHop.com: Who were some of the producers that you worked with on the album?Tech N9ne: When I first set out to do this album, the guy that gave me the first beat helped me set the stage for the rest of the album. Nobody knows him but he’s brand new , he from Iowa and his name is Young Fyre. He gave me “Wheaties,” the track with Shawnna. When I heard that I said that’s the caliber of beat that I need for this album, so that it can kick the album off for real. The second beat I heard was from a cat name Wysh Master, he did stuff for Nelly, Chingy, he is part of that big St. Louis movement. He gave me “Pillow Talk” with Scarface, those two cats kept sending me tracks so I can get that sound. My boy Seven out of Wichita, Kansas, he’s been with us for years. These are all new producers in yall eyes; these beats are heat so this is wonderful. This cat by the name of Aaron B gave me “Too Much” it sounds like something out of 300. We do a lot of our stuff over the Internet like people just send us beats and if they happen to be wonderful, we’ll use them. This brand new cat by the name of Matic Lee out of Atlanta, he did “One Good Time” on the second disc and he did “Sh*t is Real” for me. He came through a cat named David Sanders, who did “Beat You Up.” Robert Rebeck came through; just wonderful producers coming together to make heat.
AllHipHop.com: Was there a specific sound that you wanted for the album?Tech N9ne: I wanted big beats, you cant send Scarface some Casio beat it doesn’t matter what you are paying him, if he don’t feel it he won’t do it. In the studio [Scarface] wrote it right in front of me, you know why? Because he felt it. When I set out to do this album, if I’m going to be mocking anything Michael Jackson, the status of his music was top-notch at that time. You know what I’m saying?AllHipHop.com: This album can be your millionth album sold independently, that will make you the first recording artist to do so. Has it dawned on you yet?Tech N9ne: [laughs] I don’t think it hit me man. We [were] grinding so hard, we were pushing since day one, since the end of ’98. We just been pushing Strange Music. Now, it’s getting to the point we [are] to a million albums sold it’s like I don’t think it hit me yet. I feel [that] we have so [much] more work to do. So much more people need to hear Tech N9ne. But that’s a beautiful accomplishment. Me and Travis do the work quickly, we do the work and keep moving. I always say we hear the echoes of our work. It’s like constantly going , now when you say it It’s a million albums sold. And it’s a wonderful feeling when you think about it.AllHipHop.com: You have toured a great deal of your career. What are your thoughts on other recording artist getting huge touring deals?Tech n9ne: If your smart, you know that [touring] wins fans. You shaking hands and kissing babies. Touring is politics; you got to touch the people, I did my first show in San Diego years ago and there were seven people in the crowd. But we rocked it like there was seven-thousand, so now when we go to the House of Blues it’s sold out. That’s because we are out there touching the people that’s what we do.AllHipHop.com: There has also been some news of you contemplating retirement. Where do you stand on the idea of retiring?Tech N9ne: I truly feel like that but I can’t do that now. In a perfect world Killer would be my last rap album, but its not a perfect world. I still have plateaus I haven’t reached I can sit back with Travis [O’Guin] and just be an [executive] but I have Hip-Hop in my bones. I been here since the start, so of course on this album there is an attitude, [I have a] chip on my shoulder, like f**k this, they’re not getting it.AllHipHop.com: What do you have planned for Strange Music?Tech N9ne: After this strange Noize tour, we have a month off. After that we have the Strictly Strange tour, which is everybody on Strange Music [and] it keeps going.AllHipHop.com: It seems as if you are enjoying the moment.Tech N9ne: I been waiting for people acknowledge beautiful music coming from me. Everywhere I go there is such a warm f**king feeling. For a minute I lost my Black folks because of my imagery in 2001, because of my album Angelic. My people thought I was a devil worshiper, so they abandoned me. So I made my people my mission after a while I told them that they were missing greatness, I’m not saying greatness because its me, it’s a proven fact. There is nobody like me.
DMX’s Label: Sheriff Is Targeting DMX; Rapper Pleads Not Guilty
Rapper DMX appeared in a Phoenix courtroom yesterday (July 24) to plead not guilty to felony charges of theft and identity theft.
The charges stem from allegations that the 37-year-old entertainer (born Earl Simmons) gave the name “Troy Jones” and an incorrect Social Security number to a Scottsdale hospital in April.
According to authorities, the fake alias and social security number were used by Simmons to avoid paying $7,500 in medical expenses.
The plea is the latest chapter in a string of legal troubles and court appearances for Simmons, whose most recent encounter with the law came earlier this month, when he was arrested at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport on outstanding warrants after he failed to appear in court.
Despite the charges and his latest court appearance, Simmons record label, Bodog Music, is standing by him.
“We wouldn’t work with DMX period if we didn’t believe he was just a victim of circumstance,” Bodog President Peter Karroll, told the Associated Press. “The sheriff in Phoenix is definitely targeting him. It’s unbelievable.”
Moments after entering his plea in Maricopa County Superior Court, Simmons addressed reporters seeking comments with an impromptu rap.
“If and when you ever fall down, get back up. … Stand for something or fall for everything. Wait for the right pitch, you’ll miss every swing,” the rapper rhymed.
His lawyer, Charles Kozelka, turned attention away from his client and on his clients upcoming projects, which include his double album titled Walk With Me Now and Youll Fly With Me Later.
Walk With Me Now is due in stores October 14.
DMX is due in court on August 12 for a conference as he faces multiple charges of drug possession and cruelty to animals in Phoenix.
Lil Kim, Foxy Brown Sued Over Books
Former rivals Lil Kim and Foxy Brown may be united in court over a new lawsuit filed by book publisher Simon & Schuster.
Simon & Schuster filed two separate lawsuits in Manhattan Supreme Court yesterday (July 25), accusing both rappers of failing to deliver books for the company.
The lawsuit claims Lil Kim of accepted a $40k advance for an untitled book that was to be finished by 2004.
Foxy Brown also pocketed a cool $75k for an autobiography titled Broken Silence, yet neither rapper delivered a finished book to Simon & Schuster.
Both rappers spent time incarcerated and both claimed to be writing books during their stays in prison.
Lil Kim served a year and one day in a Philadelphia prison for lying under oath about a shootout, while Foxy Brown served eight months in prison for repeatedly violating the terms of her probation.
The Last Word: Ne-Yo’s On Michael Jackson’s Comeback, Rihanna Talks Tomboys and Light Skin, and Timberlake Pees In the Presence of Michael Jordan!
Whats shakin everybody? Another five gone down, another bit of loose change made. With Hurricane Dolly causing damage in Texas, Danica Patrick and Milka Duno catfighting on the racetrack, WNBA players brawling on the court, and John McCain trying to get some attention away from Barack Obamas international trip overseas, it was just another week in the world today. Shout out to Rosario Dawson for encouraging young Latinos to register to vote, Marvin Sapp for breaking records on Billboards Gospel Radio and Urban Adult Contemporary charts with his hit single “Never Wouldve Made It” and the sounding boards for making me realize that the knight is always darkest before the dawn. And here.we.go…the Last Word for the week ending July 25, 2008 1. Justin Timberlake P##### Over Michael Jordan, Gets Edited by ESPNAs cool as he may seem on stage and in music videos, Justin Timberlake gets star struck just like the rest of us. Case in point: the singers recent meeting with basketball legend Michael Jordan.Although Jordan confessed to being a JT fan, it was the singer who literally lost control in front of the man he considers to be one of his biggest role models.”When I was young…I wanted to be Michael Jordan. It was weird, I heard (Gary Wright song) Dreamweaver in my head when he walked in the room,” Timberlake told WENN. “He was like, Hey man, my kids and I, we’re big fans of your music, and I was like, That’s cool… Up until the point where he walked away and I realized I had peed a little.”I guess if youve already brought sexy back, why not bring urination back in the mix too? I sense an R. Kelly collaboration on the horizon. Dont be surprised.As if being around one sports great wasnt enough, Justin apparently got a bit carried away when he hosted this years ESPY Awards. According to a Sports Illustrated blogger, ESPN stepped in to edit out comments JT made regarding Boston Celtics player Paul Pierces knee injury from Game 1 of the NBA Finals before it was broadcast on Sunday (July 20). After Timberlake joked that Pierce was back on the court “shucking and jiving,” the blogger noted how the remarks were met with silence from the crowd when the show taped before Timberlake went into his next joke about Eli Manning. Good thing ESPN saved the day. Otherwise Justin wouldve p##### away his ghetto pass right down the toilet.2. Shakira Leads the Charge for LibertyHands down, Shakira is one of the most talented female singers around. But the Colombian songstress is garnering just as much attention for her role as a political activist.Media sources report that Shakira led nationwide demonstrations in Columbia Sunday (July 20) to demand the release of hundreds of hostages seized by leftist insurgents. The demonstrations took place in more than 40 cities that included London, Paris, Beijing, Miami, Sydney and New York, according to the AFP news agency.The event follows Shakiras meeting with recently released FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) captive and former Colombian presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt in an effort to raise awareness of her plight. The 31-year-old singers presence remained strong on Sunday, as she sang the national anthem at a parade presided over by Colombian President Alvaro Uribe and performed in the city of Leticia.”We unite, unite our voices in a single shout: Liberty!” said Shakira, who called the day “historic.” Beauty, a killer voice, and a militant mindstate for freedom. Drive on, Shakira. Drive on. No objections on this side.3. Ne-Yo Co-Signs Michael Jackson Comeback; Remixes Big Red Gum JingleDespite an alleged beef, Ne-Yo and Chris Brown have put aside their differences in the name of the almighty dollar. According to Billboard.biz, the singers have been recruited by Wrigleys to put their stamp on jingles for two of the company’s most popular brands of gum.Ne-Yo will remix the Big Red song, while Brown upgrades the Double Mint jingle and country singer Julianne Hough takes on the jingle for Juicy Fruit. The new jingles will be officially unveiled at a Wrigley’s hosted concert in New York on Wednesday (July 29). New York radio station Hot 97 will give away tickets to the show as part of the promotion. And while Ne-Yo earns a little extra gas money, he hasnt forgotten his day job, as he confirmed that he is working on Michael Jacksons forthcoming comeback album. Although Michaels influence is evident in Ne-Yo, the young singer admitted to not recognizing the King of Pops voice when he personally called to ask him if he could write songs for his album. “I actually hung up on him because I thought someone was playin’,” Ne-Yo told New York Magazine. “ Then his representative called back. ‘This is Peter Lopez. I have Michael Jackson on the phone.’ And I was like, ‘Oh my God. Are you serious?’ And then I apologized for the next ten minutes. Any comedian who has ever made fun of Michael Jackson was right on. Sad but true. He does have a very high, not very manly voice.” Once Ne-Yo got on board, it didnt take long for him to figure out what Michael wanted from him as the King of Pop told him that he wanted to make the song he chose as melodic as possible in an effort to get back to that type of vibe. “He’s trying to get back to a place where people remember why they love Michael Jackson in the first place,” Ne-Yo said about Michaels desire to come back strong. “In the beginning, you didn’t care about Michael Jackson’s personal life. It was about his dancing and his music. That was why you loved Mike. He’s trying to get back there. And I’m trying to help.”No need to say no more. Lets hope the help pays off and Michael delivers a classic album. Stay tuned 4. Rihanna Represents for the Tomboys; Remembers Light-Skinned RidiculeRihanna may be striking sexy poses with umbrellas while dating male singers on the low, but according to the songbird, she was anything but the dainty female when she was growing up.”I wore my brother’s clothes, dresses with sneakers, or no shoes at all. I would always get into trouble with my mom. She would say things to scare me like, You’re going to get cut! But I couldn’t help it,” Rihanna told InStyle magazine as she reminisced over how she would “climb trees, steal mangoes, catch birds silly things that were fun to us at the time.”As if battling with her mom over her tomboy status wasn’t enough, RiRi had to contend with schoolmates in Barbados who gave her grief over being light-skinned. The singer admits that it made fitting in a bit of a challenge.”It made me angry… For the first six years of school, I would go home traumatized,” she said. The harassment continued to my very last day of elementary school. High school was better.”Obviously, we know who got the last laugh. Not only does she have a successful singing career, but Rihanna is making moves with Circuit City as the face of the companys new back to school campaign. Ads for the campaign, which uses music and music video clips from the vocalists latest single Disturbia, are scheduled to begin running next week. In addition, Rihanna will participate in an online chat on Aug. 20.And there you have it. Light skinned people may be out of style right now, but dont sleep on them. The world is truly theirs for the taking.5. Wayne Brady Steps into the R&B Arena Following in the steps of fellow actor Terrance Howard, Wayne Brady is expressing himself musically with his upcoming debut album A Long Time Coming. The 12-track R&B project will feature original material from Brady (such as the lead single “Ordinary”) as well as his versions of classic hits like Sam Cooke’s “A Change is Gonna Come,” The Beatles’ “Can’t Buy Me Love” and Stevie Wonder’s “All I Do.” A Long Time Coming is slated to hit stores on Sept. 16.As it stands now, Howard and Brady are currently in talks to hit the road together for nationwide tour. The outing, dubbed the Do I Have to Choke or Whoop That Trick? Tour, will hit local hot spots in the hood and suburbs in an effort to capitalize off Brady’s family friendly image and Howards status as a versatile entertainer thats able to give you those critically-acclaimed ghetto anthems along with the grown and sexy tunes. In Other Words…* There is life after Disturbing Tha Peace/Def Jam Records for Bobby Valentino. The crooner, who parted ways with the label less than three months ago, is working on his third album The Rebirth, which is slated to be released later this year.* Ashanti is doing her part to give back, as she was among a group of nine “ambassadors” on hand to help Nassau County Executive Thomas Suozzi launch a new tourism campaign that promotes tourism in Nassau. The Glen Cove native was more than happy to be associated with the venture as she said, “It was amazing to be asked and I wanted to give something back to the community.” * Count Beyonce, Chris Brown and Mariah Carey among those who will perform at the fifth annual Fashion Rocks concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York on Sept. 5. Proceeds from the show, which will also feature Fergie, Justin Timberlake, Keith Urban, Lil Wayne, Rihanna, Kid Rock and Duffy, will go to Stand Up To Cancer.* Mark another boy band off the list as BlackVoices.com reports that R&B boy band B5 has been dropped from Sean “Diddy” Combs Bad Boy Entertainment. The group, which released two albums during their time at the label, is working on a new album while searching for a new record deal.* Janet Jackson won’t have to pay anything for her infamous wardrobe malfunction. According to reports, a federal appeals court threw out a $550,000 indecency fine against CBS Corp for the singer’s 2004 Super Bowl halftime show on Monday (July 21).* Kelly Rowland is making plans to come to the small screen as she filmed a pilot for a new a travel and lifestyle series called Around the World. The singer will host and executive produce the show which will focus on the best in dining as well as hotel accommodations and party destinations around the globe. Although several networks including E!, Bravo, Style, A&E, VH1 and Oprah’s O.W.N have inquired about the pilot, no deal has been done.
Hip-Hop Rumors: Diddy & Cassie Engaged? Solange & Mario? Nas Vs CNN? A New Jena 6?
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.
TODAY’S RUMORS!
THE GAME DISSES EMINEM?
Im sure you heard the track. The Game sent a shot at Eminem, it would seem. Here it is:
“All the pictures of me and Em, I burned them/So there ain’t no proof I walked through 8 Mile/ And so since it ain’t no Proof, I’ll never walk through 8 Mile/ Sometimes I think about my life with my face down/ Then I see my sons and put on my Kanye smile.”
Now the song was on the homepage of AHH and I just let it rock, because I didnt want to be the one to seem like I was instigating beef. But now that it is thoroougly out there, what do you think? Is this some desperate move or is The Game really making a point? We know Em is on the way back and, whats interesting, is Lil Wayne failed to get Em on his Carter 3. Is this some new school attack? Anyway, tell me your thoughts.
THE GAME EXPLAINS!
Just as I wrote the above statement, AllHipHop.com released a statement from The Game explaining this real deal!
“When I originally wrote the song My Life, I was trying to think
back on events that affected my life and how they changed me,” The Game
told AllHipHop.com in an exclusive statement, citing Dr. Dre, Eminem
and Proof among those he met when he first got signed to Aftermath and
G-Unit Records. “But it was Proof whom the Game bonded with most. I always
identified with Proof. We were always cool and he would reach out to me
when ever I was going through something,” The Game told AllHipHop.com
of his relationship with the deceased Detroit rapper, who was shot and
killed on April 11. “I remember when Proof died vividly and now every time I think about
going to Detroit I get depressed, The Game said. That is what I was
trying to say in that verse and the more I looked at I realized that
people would take it the wrong way the way they are taking it now that
it leaked.” Despite efforts to make changes to the song and take out the
questionable verse “so that this bulls**t wouldnt happen,” the Game
couldnt escape the fallout over what he recorded. “For the record, this is not the version on my album, this is not
the version that radio will get and this is not the version that I just
shot the video to,” The Game told AllHipHop.com, acknowledging those
who may have been negatively impacted by “My Life.” “Furthermore, I apologize to anyone who took this the wrong way as that was never my intention,” The Game said.
DIDDY AND CASSIE ENGAGED?
If Diddy reads this, its not me! Star Magazine has reported that Diddy and Cassie have gotten engaged. Now, this salacious rumor comes on the heels of denials that they are still togther. Remember Cassie said there was nothing going on anymore! I dont know what to believe, so I offer what Star is saying. They charge that Sean “Diddy” Combs is about to give marriage a chance. They say that he is telling his closest friends and family that he is planning to marry Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura. “He told everyone to keep it extremely quiet because he didn’t want it to get out, but you could tell he was excited,” says a source. “Diddy said they hadn’t set a date yet, but he wanted his family to hear the news first.” Who knows, man, I still like Kim Porter.
FROM AN EYE WITNESS!
I know that that whole Max B thing is over and whatever, but the people around when that shooting happened in NYC are still rattled over it. Here is what a person recently wrote me:
I was at the SOB’s event. [A certain somebodys] Crew came in and began to attempt to intimidate Max B. Max B was in a VIP area with his crew and they tried to appear unfazed. A fight ensued (for all of 10 seconds) when a captain from . [A certain somebodys] crew pulled out a gun and fired one shot. The guy was standing 10 feet from Max B and fired into a crowded VIP section and missed. This Hip-Hop Bulls**t has got to stop!! Someone could have gotten killed. I was standing 5 feet away from all of this bullsh**t. [Somebody] wasnt man enough to be there but he’ll send his goons. Max B is a lil a**hole and he’s not tough so they need to stop the bull. Illseed, someone has got to be responsible to this next generation and hold these a**holes accountable. We need REAL men and women to represent for our culture and put their foot down.
Thats just a random sample of that letters I am getting. Whew. EPMD said it, Rap is out of control.
MCCAIN OUTTA THERE?
I heard the craziest rumor in a long time. I am hearing that McCain may be usurped at the Republican National Convention. From what I understand, McCain is doing so poorly that the Repubs dont think he has any chance of winning. So, what I heard is that they are going to switch over to Mitt Romney in hopes that he can defeat and beat Barack! Barack is bussin McCains a**!!!! Now, I heard it has gotten so bad that McCain had a press conference and only one reporter showed up! Even I would show up to that, even though I am voting for Barack! Right now, Mitt is the forerunner for the Vice President under McCain.
YO! Who saw McCain making the speech in front of cheese in the supermarket? Too Funny!
NAS VS CNN!?!
No, Nas didnt diss CNN, but he should because this Black In America thing they put out there is wack. I am a Black man and there is no sad truth to it. Im Black, Im strong and Im PROUD. I know more good Black men than bums so I am curious to know why they seem to find the worst of the worst. I know that they have varying degrees of good and bad, but I want to see whats really good about talking about the way the Black family was systematically destroyed over the last 400 or so years and how oppression and lack of opportunity are readily available these days. Im not blaming anybody, but there is something called cause and effect. (I admit, a lot of the commentators were representing well, but the cornerstone of the series appeared to be predicated on negativity.) HOLLA DEN!
SCOTT STORCH MOB PROBS?
Raining To Pouring: Scott Storch is looking at a bad situation. The music mogul is looking at a foreclosure on his $10 million Florida mansion! Dude needs a hero! But, from what I heard, and dont know that I believe, Scott may have come across something he couldnt beat. Not sure how, but I heard he had some issues with the mob and those issues have impacted his bottom line. No details, just conjecture over here! But somebody has used the term bust out.
SOLANGE AND MARIO?
These are the rumors…the freaky rumors.
OH REALLY, OREILLY?
My Girl Shelz Goes In On This Nas Vs Fox Stuff: This is Bill O’Reilly’s statement in reference to the petition Nas and some of the members of Moveon.org attempted to deliver to Fox News. The petition suggested that Fox News attacks Mr. Obama with a racist agenda in mind.
“The Move On organization espouses a radical left agenda and attacks those who oppose that nonsense,” O’Reilly said. “The latest smear from Move On is telling their Kool-Aid-drinking zombie followers that Fox News is smearing Barack Obama and is a racist concern. Of course, that’s a lie. This broadcast and FNC in general have been exceedingly fair to Senator Obama. … But in order to intimidate anyone from criticizing Obama in any way, Move On is playing the race card.”
Oh, and he also said he believes Move On is the new “klan.”
I’ll keep it brief. O’Reilly expecting his viewers to believe that there is any sort of theoretical resemblance between this group and the klan is his way of suggesting that the zombie followers are in his brood, not Nas’. The only thing Bill O’Reilly did with this statement was to co-sign every sentence in that petition.
BUGSY, BUGSY BUGSY: IN DEFENSE OF BUGSY.
Confession: I have never heard a single song about Bugsy, but he has appeared in the rumors so much, I feel guilty. Here is a friend of Bugsy speaking out in his defense and I am going to leave this mess alone!!!! (For all you aspiring editors, this letter is NOT edited by me.
Now to the real issue at hand. Bugsy is a personal friend of mine,actually more like a little brother. He’s the king of San Antonio for a reason and its because he is one of the illest,most humble,self motivated and driven young artists I’ve met. What I need to know is where do these wild stories you’ve been running on him come from???? Who are your “sources”???? Let me clear a few things up for you that are actual FACTS. He is NOT signed to Sony he is a free agent. I should know because I brought him to the. Building 2 years ago and they liked him a lot but ultimately didn’t feel like it was the right home for him. He’s never dated Ciara,he’s never dated Tiffany Evans she’s a KID I mean come on my dude! He’s never met Tyga,he’s never met Bow Wow,he’s never met Lil Wayne,he’s never even set foot in the state of California let alone fought over Angela Simmons with some dude he’s also never met on the streets of L.A.. I don’t know what to make of it homie,either your “sources” are deliberatley slandering my dude or you’re a part of this gay ass conspiracy but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and say that you’re being lead astray with false info.
If you just check the credibility of your sources a little more I can tell you that some newsworthy s### will be forthcoming because the young homie is on fire and all the right people are taking notice,believe me I know because I work on the inside. Besides that take it as a given that anything you hear is straight b####### and keep it moving. They say all publicity is good publicity but when it comes to being romantically linked with 17year old artists,fighting over chicks and running with Bow Wow and Tyga who don’t even appeal to the same demographic as a young trapper/ex parolee (not glorifying just stating facts) then its a problem.
ILLSEEDS QUICKIES
Not Suing! Damn. Im here to let you know that Flip isnt suing Sony or Lil Wayne for anything at least thats what people close to the matter say.

RANDOM QUOTES
Luke Campbell, 47, got married to Kristin Thompson, 27, recently in Dallas, Texas (People).
“I waited 47 years to find a special woman and have found that in Kristin. I never knew that I could feel love on another level like this until I met her, and I am now honored to call her my wife.”
I love Chris Rock, but this 31-min tape of him confessing to avoid a rape case aint a good look:
I had a rubber on. I probably took it off right when I was getting ready to come. I probably came on her a**.
Judge Mathis lays the smack down on T.I.
T.I. did not need all those machine guns and silencers to defend himself, Mathis stated. Too many of our young Black men are succumbing to a subculture of self-destruction involving drugs and violence. Be tough in the real world. Empower yourself with real weapons of success, meaning an education.
SIGNS THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END
There are standards in any profession. Now, a South Carolina senator has apparently forgotten that. This crazy fool put the following image on his official website:
S.C. Sen. Kevin Bryant said he “wanted to make people think,” but apparently bowed down with people refused to. He has opted to remove the picture once he fully cowered to public demands. The bad Senator said to wyff4.com that he didnt feel comfortable with this commitment with Israel. I don’t feel comfortable with his commitment with the war on terror. And I feel like those things are worthy of discussion.” But isnt there a better way to articulate your message? He didnt have any text on the webpage to support his great views expressed above.
Basically, dude is an elected official and THIS DUMB? This is somebody charged with running our nation? Wow. Neither Republicans nor Dems have supported his decision. Here is something he can replace that mess with:
Get A Free Obama button at MoveOn.org! Get yours today, then tell your friends.
Get Your Free Butto at MoveOn.orgTake that, Take that!
ILL PICS!This hot mama is named Mrs. Ernestine and she is 72 years old. REAL TALK. She is taking things to the next level on you all! To see her booty shots, you know you have to go over to illseed.com!

Thanks, Waseem!
BUT…END YOUR FRIDAY ON A GREAT NOTE!
Remember your family is all you have…unless you are like me and have great friends too. Then BOTH family and friends are all you have.
YESTERDAY, WE LOVE YOU!
They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry!

Exclusive: The Game Denies Dissing Eminem, Proof
Days after a leaked version of his song “My Life” surfaced on the Internet, The Game is setting the record straight over speculation on whether or not he dissed fellow rapper Eminem and Proof.
“My Life” is one of the songs featured on the Compton, California rappers forthcoming album L.A.X.
Since the songs release, talk has centered on a portion of track, which features Lil Wayne, where The Game rhymes: “You see them 24s spinning, I earned em/and all the pictures of me and Em/I burned them/ So there ain’t no proof I walked through 8 Mile/ And so since it ain’t no Proof, I’ll never walk through 8 Mile.
Although some believe, the rappers remarks were aimed at Eminem and possibly Proof, The Game is quick to say “My Lifes” real meaning has nothing to do with disrespecting anyone mentioned in the song.
“When I originally wrote the song My Life, I was trying to think back on events that affected my life and how they changed me,” The Game told AllHipHop.com in an exclusive statement, citing Dr. Dre, Eminem and Proof among those he met when he first got signed to Aftermath and G-Unit Records.
“But it was Proof whom the Game bonded with most. I always identified with Proof. We were always cool and he would reach out to me when ever I was going through something,” The Game told AllHipHop.com of his relationship with the deceased Detroit rapper, who was shot and killed on April 11.
“I remember when Proof died vividly and now every time I think about going to Detroit I get depressed, The Game said. That is what I was trying to say in that verse and the more I looked at I realized that people would take it the wrong way the way they are taking it now that it leaked.”
Despite efforts to make changes to the song and take out the questionable verse “so that this bulls**t wouldnt happen,” the Game couldnt escape the fallout over what he recorded.
Nevertheless, fans will get a different version of “My Life” when L.A.X. is released. The rapper and Lil Wayne recently finished shooting a video for the song.
“For the record, this is not the version on my album, this is not the version that radio will get and this is not the version that I just shot the video to,” The Game told AllHipHop.com, acknowledging those who may have been negatively impacted by “My Life.”
“Furthermore, I apologize to anyone who took this the wrong way as that was never my intention,” The Game said.
The Games L.A.X. is slated to hit stores on Aug. 26.

Album Review: J*DaVeY – The Beauty in Distortion/The Land of the Lost
The thirst quencher needed to revitalize the current state of music has finally arrived in the form of J*DaVeY. Combining New Wave, Jazz, Electronica, and R&B, J*DaVeY (female singer Jack Davey and male producer Brook DLeau) presents funky beats combined with a dash of new school flavor. Their double album release, The Beauty In Distortion / The Land Of The Lost (Interdependent Media) is the elixir that music has been lacking for quite some time. While J*DaVey has made music for over eight years, their double album debut reintroduces the group to the masses with a force to break the musical monotony.The first disc, The Beauty In Distortion opens with “Division Of Joy” and takes you on a futuristic expedition of electric guitars and organs reminiscent of vintage No Doubt. Mr. Mister the first release from the group is a flirty club-ready tune about a girl chase boy pursuit. Tracks like Everybody Touch It and Enterception feature Brooks production dexterity, guiding you in a trance-like labyrinth of organs and synthesizers. The first disc closes with a future screw remix of Mr. Mister with Jack slithering through the slowed down track which transitions midway into a Dance mix. The Land of the Lost opens with the lethargic flow of Hi Sun. However, the offbeat collaboration of the up-tempo Slayers featuring Pacific Division, Dia Gibram and Bleu Collar, throws the vibe of the album out of sync. Jack showcases her MC skills on tracks like the ?uestlove produced Lil Big Heads and Rock the Dancehall featuring Kardinal Offishall on the liquefied riddim. Additionally, Just Because features Phonte of Little Brother lending his smooth vocals to the tracks wavelength. The Beauty In Distortion / The Land Of The Lost is most certainly a must grab and an introduction to a group that has been making music longer than many artists out today. There are a few misses that offset the overall flow, but nonetheless J*DaVeY manages to showcase their multiplicity and dares to be different. Any music lover can appreciate that.

Straight Talk: Heat – A Super Womans Kryptonite
I had every intention on writing about a different
topicmore relationship geared, however I went through something recently that
I felt I should share.
Like most of my lifes experiences, I find that this one
could help someone else in the world. And so to it, Ive decided to dedicate
this months article.
I was at Sesame Place this past weekend with my husband and
son. We were standing in the line for the Merry-Go-Round and instantly I
started to feel light-headed. I leaned up against the bar, hoping that the
feeling would go away but it didnt. Instead, it got worse.
I told my husband that I didnt feel well. I told him I felt
like I was going to pass out. He said he would go get me some water as soon as
the guy operating the ride came back to unlock the gate and let him out. At
that moment my vision became extremely blurry. I told my husband not to leave
me to get the water. I needed him there. Then the next thing I knew, I passed
out in my husbands arms.
I was taken to the First Aid area of the amusement park. The
medics took my blood pressure and my pulse and gave me several cups of
Gatorade. Once I came to and was able to answer their questions, they explained
that because I am pregnant and hadnt had much fluids that day, combined with
the fact that I was standing out in the hot sun, I was dehydrated, causing me
to pass out. They further explained that the bag of popcorn I had eaten when I
first got to the park didnt help due to the salt intake. Basically, I was
dried out.
It was definitely a learning experience for me. I had never
passed out before, and even though I was told to drink plenty of water during
hot days, I never knew just how serious the lack of water could be. I know now. Ive been drinking water
constantly since the incident even when Im not thirsty. I was also told to
slow down. Im working too hard. That too was something I never took too
seriously. I mean, Ive been told I need to give my body a rest plenty of times
in the past but now, especially because Im pregnant, I see that it is very
necessary to do just that.
So, as I continue through the summer, my duties will be to
drink more water and stay hydrated, ease up on working, get a full eight hours
of sleep each night, and take some time during the day to just rest. And I say
this to say, to all you working mothers and mothers-to-be, be careful. Just
because you dont feel overworked, tired, or dried out doesnt mean you arent.
Its just a matter of time before your mind catches up to your body and shows
you just how overworked, tired, or dried out you really are.
Although my baby and I are fine, the idea of having passed
out is scary. I think of all the what ifswhat if my husband wasnt there, what
if I was in the pool, what if I had fell to the ground and hit my head, etc.,
etc., etc. And I realize that all of the possible consequences could have
easily been avoided had I paid more attention to peoples advice to drink
plenty of fluids and rest up.
I am thankful that the outcome wasnt worse, and that I
learned a valuable lesson without suffering loss. And I feel obligated to share
this experience with you in hopes that you or someone you know will take this
as a learning experience as well. Do what you have to do, ladies, to get all
the hydration and rest your body needs this summer, especially and most
importantly if you are expecting.
I know if youre anything like me, you may feel like you
can do it all, conquer the world without breaking a sweat and be just fine. But
at the end of the day, even Super Women are
susceptible to sickness and weakness. So take some of the time and energy
that you put into being a super woman into being a real woman.
Take care of yourself just as well as you take care of your
business. And only then can you enjoy your summer!

Vegas to Host National Hip-Hop Political Convention
Hip-Hops largest political meeting, the bi-annual National Hip-Hop Political Convention (NHHPC), has confirmed its third consecutive event for August 1-3 in Las Vegas.
The purpose of the convention is to set a political agenda over the next year for the Hip-Hop community. In the past, the gathering has attracted a melting pot of artists, concerned citizens, social justice activists, organizers, scholars, students, and journalists.
This year thousands are expected to attend.
“This political convention is the biggest gathering of young activists, mostly urban youth of color, who are often ignored and overlooked when policy is developed,” Nkrumah explained. “What do these people care about? What is their position on the education system, the criminal justice system, or even on access to adequate healthcare?”
A pre-convention titled The State of Hip-Hop will be held July 28-31.
The pre-show will feature concerts, a film festival, art exhibits, a academic symposium and a Hip-Hop dance contest.
The main convention on August 1-3 includes trainings, celebrity guest speakers, concerts, and workshops.
The NHHPC was able to build such a large base due to a network of local organizing committees around the United States.
To date, the organization has 20 chapters nationwide. Chairperson Troy Nkrumah, a former pupil of revolutionary Kwame Toure (Stokely Carmichael), feels the Hip-Hop community must continue to exert political action not only to fix the social issues often brought up in the music, but also show lawmakers that their voice matters.
If policy makers feel these young people do not care about these issues then they should pay more attention to what happens at the 2008 National Hip-Hop Political Convention.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Detox In Dec? Nas Gives Fox Hell!
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.
YOYOYOYOYO!!!!!!!
How is everybody?
Cool? Good. Off to the rumors we go.
YESTERDAY
Rumors are just that rumors. If you read the news, you
should know that Jimmy Iovine is still running Interscope records. On the flip
side, there are a lot of rumors going on over there. Im hearing that a lot of
artists are on hold until Dr. Dre, Eminem and 50 Cent come out in the fourth
quarter. Check out the news section if you want to read about Dr. Dre coming
out in the fourth period. Its a good look though. The other artists will
hopefully ride that wave, if you will. Also, Detox wont be the West Coast
sort of album in that its going to have big Names like Nas and Jay-Z along with
cats like Snoop and Eminem (not that Em is West Coast, but you get it).
BEANIES HOME!
I dont know if you know like I know, but I know that Beanie
Sigel is now home from his brief incarceration. You know, I cant even recall
why he was in jail to begin with, but the poitive this is he is back and he is
focused on the important stuff like Hip-Hop and his family. More on this later.
MAX BS STATEMENT
ABOUT SHOOTING
Max B Issues Official
Statement Regarding Shooting at Hot 97’s
‘Who’s Next Concert’ at SOB’s
July 23, 2008- Max B
was looking forward to performing at the Hot 97’s ‘Who’s Next Concert’ on the
evening of Tuesday, July 22nd when a disruption occurred. A group of individuals entered the club
shortly before Max B was scheduled to go on stage, one of whom shot a round
into the VIP section where Max and his entourage were seated. Max B was not
hit, and no serious injuries occurred among his guests. Max B would like to
extend his thanks to Hot 97, SOB’s, Gus Heningburg at Trevanna, Jerry Saluti,
and all the fans who came out in the hopes of seeing a great show. He wants to stress to his fans that he was
focused on his job that evening, excited about performing as the headlining act
at Hot 97’s concert.
“I had no control
over it. I didn’t want any trouble. I
never want any, but people despise me. They are jealous and envious, and
they’re gonna do whatever they can to stop my movement. S### is real,” Max
B stated.
Shortly after the shot
was fired, the club cleared out and police came to conduct an
investigation. Max B claims not to know
the identity of the group of individuals who were responsible for the gunshot.
“I didn’t know the wannabe thugs who let off a round,” he said.
THE TK/ANGELA/BUGSY
BEEF?
On of my West Coast YGz hit me up and let me know a lil
more on that supposed and alleged beef TK and Bugsy have over Angela Simmons. I
heard the real stuff started out, because Bugsy, who is down with Lil Wayne,
allegedly asked Angela if she could be in his rap video. It seemed that TK took
it some kind of way, perhaps thinking that Bugsy was trying to be slick. Apparently, Angela was in a video for Lil Bow Wow
and he didnt have flattering things to say about TK. I dont think TK was cool
with some of the stuff he heard and related that to Bugsy since Bugsy and Bow
Wow are cool.
TERRORIST HATER NAS?
Why all the hatred for terrorists these days? I kid. As you
know, Nas was in New York
yesterday and was protesting Fox News. I heard he said some cool stuff, but
what interested me was Nas made an attempt to be funny that didnt go over with
some of the media. Nas tried to give or get a terrorist fist bump from a reporter
and the scribe opted not to give up the dap to the rapper. Another writer did though. Anyway, Fox reportedly took the 620k signed petition and said, “Shove it!” So Nas took the list to Colbert and Colbert took it! You can see the video below!LADY DRAMA RUNS AMOK!
Solange and Mario….. A Couple… Who are they Kidding! Im hearing whispers in the streets that Solange and Mario are slowly but surely creeping up to couple status! Hmmm… He never striked me as her type but I Hear that the two are really into each other and of course just like sis Beyonce and brother Jay they are trying to keep it on the low! Whatev I could care less any dude that has the ability to put up with a Knowles woman gets my cool points anyday 😉 Fabolous… Dad! Really Peep these brand new pics of rapper Fabolous and his son! And for all you extra nosey peeps check out his baby’s mother as well! You know I got ya’ll! Not that bad right? Trouble in Paradise.. Day 26 Confronts Diddy! Looks like Day 26 is having some troubles with their label and boss Diddy. According to my sources Day 26 is upset about not receiving compensation for some shows they did during a tour! I hear that the group confronted Diddy about it and things got heated. I also hear that MTV cameras were there to catch all of it on tape for the new season of making the band! Which leads me to believe that this could all be for show. Which I’m hoping is the case but then again it wouldn’t be Bad Boy if it wasn’t! Lady Drama’s Food For Thought: Man why is it more harder to give up on your dreams than trying to make them a reality! Speaking of reality I hear Ushers BM Tameeka is trying to do a reality show…. Instead how about a reality check no one likes seeing you in pics let alone on someone’s TV! Get a clue! Go hard or Go Home!
M.O.P. + SESAME STREET = TO MUCH POSSEI dont know if you saw this on illseed.com, but a lot of people did, because its all over the net now! Check out M.O.P. rapping with Ernie and Bert.
THE SESAME STREET GOOD FELLOWS

K-Swift To Be Laid To Rest Tomorrow
As the city of Baltimore continues to mourn the loss of 30-year-old DJ K-Swift, funeral arrangements for the club and mixshow pioneer have been released.
The life of Khia Edgerton, will be celebrated on Friday and Saturday (July 25 and 26) with two separate services at two locations.
The New Shiloh Baptist Church will host the memorial services on Friday, starting with a viewing from 10am-6pm.
Immediately following the viewing will be a special wake, with tributes by the Edgerton Family and K-Swifts extended family at Radio Ones 92Q Jams (WERQ-FM), the station where she started her career as an intern ten years ago.
The New Shiloh Baptist Church is located at 2100 N. Monroe Street in Baltimore.

K-Swift will be buried at Loudon Park Cemetery at 3620 Wilkens Avenue.
Flowers can be sent to Morgan State University Murphy Fine Arts Center; 2201 Argonne Drive; Baltimore, MD 21251.
While an autopsy to determine the cause of death is still pending, authorities believe alcohol may have been a factor in the accident that took K-Swifts life early Monday morning (July 23), Baltimore police spokesman Donny Moses told the Baltimore Sun.
While hosting a party at her home in northeast Baltimore on Sunday night going into Monday morning, K-Swift is said to have jumped into a shallow, above-ground pool, never to resurface.
Friends pulled her out of the pool and called 911. She was pronounced dead upon arrival at Good Samaritan Hospital.
Considered an ambassador of the Baltimore club scene, the Baltimore Club Queen K-Swift broke ground at 92Q, becoming the stations first female DJ at the age of 20.
She would eventually rise to the position of Mixshow Coordinator, the only female in the country to hold the position.
In addition to her long stint as host of the Off the Hook Radio Show the number one night show in Baltimore she was a popular club DJ and a recording artist, releasing several projects through Unruly Records, helping to push and define the Baltimore club music scene.
