USMagazine.com reports today (November 4th, 2010) that assault charges against R&B singer and former Dancing With the Stars contestant Mario Barrett have been dropped — and he tells UsMagazine.com he couldn’t be happier.
“I’m glad to be finally vindicated,” he tells Us. “I want to thank everyone who believed in me. I will continue to love and support my mother.”
His mother had told police that her son shoved her into a wall recently at their Baltimore home. She was reportedly under the influence of drugs and alcohol at the time.
“His mom lied so the charges were dropped,” a source tells Us.
Next up for Mario? “He’s dealt with this by staying in the studio, readying his album for release early next year,” his rep tells Us.
Mario is also currently finishing up a new mix tape which will be available in the next month.

TOP 5 DEAD OR ALIVE: Devin The Dude
you doing? Here’s what hes doing; he is contemplating which MCs are in his Top 5 Dead Or Alive!
MCs, I want to get your Top 5 Dead Or Alive. Please, tell me who made
your list and why.
you know how that is, that changes a lot. Once you finish making your
list and you give it some thought, youll think about some more artists
and MCs that you like. Youll think, damn, he was up there, too! Thats
always been hard for me. Ive been a fan of Hip-Hop since the very
early 80s. My s*** has accumulated and sometimes Ill forget.
Ill give you roughly, my Top 5.
go with Jay-Z. At the time when he first came in the game it was like
the early 90s, the early to mid-90s. He came in when there
were a lot of heavy hitters out. At that time right there, being lyrical
is what you had to be. There was no way around it! There was no faking
the funk. You couldnt do that half-steppin, and just be saying
some s***. You had to be accountable. He came through at that
time and he was good. He didnt let go at all. Still to this day,
he can go in the booth and rip up some s***. At the time, it was just
a matter of holding your own. And he was one of them MCs that could
hold his own. Hes proven that with longevity.
MC Shan. He was one of the artists to me that made me pay attention.
He made me listen and almost see the story that he was saying. He would
tell a story like, Left Me Lonely, and Project Ho, and songs
like that. You could almost see the people and the places he was talking
about when he was rapping. That always stuck with me. He painted a vivid
picture. Back then, he was one of the people who started me wanting
to rap.
Slick Rick. Wow! He continued that legacy [of storytelling]. When Slick
Rick came along, I thought it was pretty much over with. He was brighter!
You were actually almost there with him instead of looking at him. You
know, Childrens Story, and Hey Young World, songs like
that, it was like you were like right there with him. If MC Shan made
me start rapping, I guess Slick Rick made me continue it.
because of Slick Rick. He came first with the fur Kangol, too. I didnt
totally bite his style; because, I had different kinds of Kangols,
too. He pretty much had the fuzzy one all the time, and stuff. But,
I made sure that I didnt get too far from it. Slick Rick, you know,
he was my guy. I wasnt really rapping then; I was still kinda just
deejaying and break dancing. I was a music listener and lover then,
but Ive always had Slick Rick around.
the homie, Nas. Not only is he one of the great men with the lyricshes
painting the pictureyou can see him. When MC Shan raps youre there
with him. Its like how Slick Rick did, too. When it comes to his
rhymes, sometimes you can be there with him and sometimes yall can
be together. With Nas music and the stories that he tells, it seems
like you and him are together, looking at something else. It was a blessing
just to be able to do song with him. He was a part of my project, too.
That was one of the greatest things thats ever happened in my career,
too. I got a chance to meet him and he was likewise appreciative of
my music. That kinda really did a whole lot for me, you what Im saying.
Just like meeting Dre and meeting
Snoop, being involved with Scarface, Too Short, De La Soul, artists
like that; they appreciate me. They got some nice music, and they actually
appreciate what I did. Nas is one of those artists. Hes
not only one of my favorites, hes a lot of peoples favorite artist.
You know, Nas, he knows what hes doing. He represents to the fullest
as far as Hip-Hop. Hes done a lot for Hip-Hop. Just to be involved
with Nas on any project is a wonderful thing.
would be T-La Rock. He has a song called Its Yours. He has
other songs, too. He was like, my favorite MC. Back in the day, when
the songs was pretty much like, throw your hands in the air,
and wave em like you just dont caresay, ho. There really
wasnt that much lyrical stuff going on. He was one of the first artists
that came along and just started coming with huge words that made sense;
he also came with a rhyme pattern, and a cadence which showed he could
rap. The way that he would say these words would be crazy! It was crazy;
hardly nobody was doing it at the time. When he came on the scene, he
changed the whole vocabulary of rapping. He was innovative; he changed
things! Thats what made me say, okay, Rap is here and its not
going nowhere for a long time.

Reviews: Skillz, 9th Wonder, The Outlawz
Three album/mixapes, three reviews.
Skillz – Infamous Quotes
Infamous Quotes
is one of those rare projects that youll hear this year based off the
names attached to it alone. Powered by Skillz and DJ Jazzy Jeff, the
mixtape blends famous and well-known quotes from TV, movies, and the
like almost seamlessly alongside new freestyles, skits, and original
material from Mr. Year-End Rap-Up himself. From the interesting beat
selection that ranges from Marios Break-Up to Marsha Ambrosius
Murdah, to the classic, punchline-heavy flow that Skillz uses to glide
over each track smoothly, all of it comes together to provide a mixtape
thats meant to be played from start to finish, with no skips. Topped
off by DJ Jazzy Jeff and his unparalleled skills (no pun intended)
resonating throughout the mixtape, this is one of the more enjoyable and
thoroughly well-executed mixtapes that have come out recently.
9th Wonder – 9ths Opus
A completely different project in its own right, 9th Wonders 9ths Opus
has all of his artists together on one project, from recognizable
voices such as Skyzoo and 9ths rap alter-ego, 9thmatic, to fresh
newcomers like Thee Tom Hardy and others. Although theres a diverse mix
of artists, all of the music has that Hip-Hop feel to it that instantly
gives it appeal to more than just one type of music fan. Each track has
an original vibe thanks to the creativity of the stable of artists he
has collected, and the lyricism is essentially unrelenting. In short,
all of this comes together to make this album a teasing showcase for
each artist. If nothing else, it shows what each one of them is capable
of doing in high-quality doses, which make this well-worth the price of
purchase online or in stores.
The Outlawz – Killuminati 2K10
Its good to see that the Outlawz also have recently released a new mixtape. Hosted by DJ Smallz, Killuminati 2K10
is more of a traditional mixtape that focuses on making street music
that does everything from assault your speakers to give you a California
vibe thats reminiscent of times when 2Pac was alive. Although it
starts off slow because of the style of the first song (From The
Bottom), it kicks into full-force by the time Dream Big comes on and
does a great job keeping up that same quality of music for the rest of
the mixtape, excluding minor hiccups that are more based on personal
preference than actual flaws. With guest spots from Freeway, Young Buck,
Yung LA, GLC, and more, this Southern Smoke mixtape is an overall solid
project that should get some playing time with longtime Outlawz fans
and newcomers alike.
T.I.’s No Mercy Set For December 7th Release Date

NICKI DENIES DISSING LIL KIM SPECIFICALLY!?
This is what she told somebody. I got it off my boo Necole Bitchie’s site.
No, Im talking about everyone who has been in interviews talking and I think its good for people to hear me respond to .People have said so much about me, So I dont ever single anyone out because no one is worth being singled out. No one is worth having their name mentioned out of my mouth and they never will get that.
Ive been quiet for such a long time and Ive been the nice guy. Ive been the person that gave everyone their props. Ive complimented everybody from day one. I think that as a rapper, you cant be a rapper and not speak on things being said about you. I use my music to say what I have to say.

BOW WOW RESPONDS TO RAZ-B’S FOOLISHNESS
As former B2K member Raz B continues his campaign against mentors Marques Houston and Chris Stokes, the former teenybopper recently threw another new name into the mix.
Yesterday, (Oct. 5) Raz appeared on radio host Charlamagne The Gods Sirius Satellite show to expand on his allegations that Houston and Stokes molested him as a teen. During his spiel, the troubled singer alluded that Bow Wow also used to take place in questionable activities with his former mentors.
Bow Wow used to always come over to the house in Diamond Bar,” Raz told the radio host. “And Ive always seen some weird s### before. Trust me.
The newly signed Cash Money Millionaire immediately dismissed the rumors.
I dont know Raz at all. The only thing that I was ever affiliated with him was by the Scream tour. But all that funny s### he poppin needs to be left over there. Im over here just trying to do me, Bow Wow told VIBE while on a press run in New York City.We were never even labelmates or anything. Maybe because my video is out, n##### feel like they got to eat off my name or try to become relevant.”

EXCLUSIVE: Rapper Rick Ross Victorious Over ‘Freeway Rick’; Lawsuit Involving Name Dismissed
(AllHipHop News) A multimillion lawsuit filed by “Freeway” Ricky Ross against rapper Rick Ross over the name “Rick Ross” was officially dismissed on Monday (November 1st). In May of 2010, “Freeway” Ricky Ross announced he would file a $10 million trademark infringement lawsuit against rapper Rick Ross, Jay-Z, Def Jam and Universal Music Group, for allegedly illegally profiting off of his name. The lawsuit, filed in the United States District for Southern California, claimed the rapper, born William Leonard Roberts II, infringed on Freeway Ricky’s intellectual property rights by using the name to market his music.Freeway Ricky claimed Rick Ross’ image was based largely on his real life image as a former cocaine boss that moved thousands of kilos of crack cocaine in Los Angeles during the mid 1980’s and early 1990’s, before being caught up in the infamous Iran-Contra Scandal. The lawsuit claimed that Freeway Ricky Ross’ real name had “secondary meaning” and value in commerce, due to his name being exploited in magazines, television specials and movies, like 100 Kilos.It was that very fact that resulted in his lawsuit being dismissed. “In support of his trademark claims, Plaintiff alleges that his name was well known in the drug trade and by law enforcement segments of the urban crime, rap and black comity because he did business as Rick Ross, until he was arrested, prosecuted and incarcerated in federal prison. Because this illegal activity cannot be used to establish secondary meaning, such allegations do not provide support for Plaintiff having a valid trademark for his name.”Jay-Z was named in the lawsuit because he signed Ross to Island Def Jam in 2006, while he was President of the label. Since then, Rick Ross has released four hit albums: Port of Miami (2006), Trilla (2008), Deeper Than Rap (2009) and Teflon Don (2010). It is unlikely that an appeal to the ruling will get far. According to the ruling, the “plaintiff has alleged facts and made arguments that destroy any possibility that he has any valid trademark rights in his name, that have been violated by defendants.”Freeway Ricky does have the right to appeal the ruling in a State court, within 30 days.

Charges Against Gucci Mane Dropped
(AllHipHop News) Charges against Atlanta rap star Gucci Mane were dropped today by prosecutors, (November 3rd), according to Fulton County officials. The rapper was arrested yesterday (November 2nd), after he was involved in an altercation with another man. The ordeal began when an off-duty officer witnessed the rapper driving his white Hummer down the wrong side of the road. Responding officers saw Gucci, born Radric Davis, involved in a physical dispute with the other, unknown individual. During the fracas, police had to use pepper spray to subdue to the rapper.Gucci was originally charged with driving on the wrong side of the road, running a red light or stop sign, damage to government property, obstruction, no license, no proof of insurance and other traffic charges. According to a judge, the charges against Gucci were dropped for “want of prosecution” but could be reinstated later. While the charges have been dropped, Gucci Mane remains incarcerated as of press time, because bail was not granted for the destruction of government property charge.
