Well the new year just started and the drama is already unfolding in the Hip-Hop community. Widely popular Atlanta producer Shawty Redd has turned himself in for murder, according to reports. Apparently, Redd got into an argument of sorts with an unknown male at his home on New Years Day. Things got escalated and the unknown male threatened the producer. Redd then proceeded to draw his firearm and shoot the male to death. Right after the shooting took place, Redd turn himself over to the Henry County Police. Redd is currently in custody awaiting arraignment and no bond has been set. It looks like he will be charged with first degree murder. Redd has worked with several big names in the game over the past decade. Amongst the artists he worked with are: Young Jeezy, Snoop Dogg, and Gucci Mane. No further details about the incident have dropped at this time. I'll continue to follow the story and update accordingly though.

This is one hell of a way to kick off the new year. I'm sure whatever they were arguing about was not that damn serious. At least he was man enough to turn himself in though, I guess. Idk, these cats gone learn one day that this gangsta ish ain't where it's at. Smh, oh well, it is what it is. -MinM

[VIDEO] Fredro Starr Talks about Shyne Club Shooting

As only a rapper can do ever-so-eloquently, former Onyx member Fredro Starr takes a minute to recount (quite vividly for ten years passed, might I add) the night of the infamous shooting at Club New York that granted Bad Boy artist Shyne an all-expense paid trip to the slammer. My first question is, "who asked your opinion"? My second is, "Damn, you sure Puff and them weren't the only ones hyped up on E that night?"  Check it out for yourselves.

Damn... no more Moesha re-reruns for me. My 1997-99 fantasy has been ruined.

T-Pain's "D.O.A." Funeral Service

I found this to be a very odd occurrence. Especially, since T-Pain took to a brief beef with Jay Z much like many other rappers did when "D.O.A." came out. I know he apologized and all, but this funeral number is a bit much. Peep it below.

I guess this is a very unique way to make a statement. I liked the chain but I sure as hell hope he really is burying that damn top hat habit. All it did was make him seem like a damn fool. Also, I hate to see him give up auto-tune all together. He is one of the few people who uses it really well. I think it was a positive trademark in his career. The issue is with everybody and they mama using it just cause they can. Artists were using it whether it sounded good or not and it became a devastating movement. That's why it had to die, but I think Pain and a few others should keep it in their program so to speak. I don't know, just my thoughts. On another note, that was an ugly a** hearse. That blue and orange, was a major fail! Want to share your opinion? Go ahead and leave a comment, let us know what you think. -MinM

Affion Crockett - "Best I Ever Had" (Drake Spoof)

So when Affion Crockett did the Drake freestyle spoof there was a clip at the end. As I reported, the clip was to the "Best I Ever Had" video spoof he was working on. I promised when he dropped it, I'd post. So here it is, enjoy!

This was just wild, lol. Not quite what I was expecting but it was funny, I liked it. It definitely has more comedy in it than the original video does. I was dying when he fell in the living room, mocking Drake's ankle injury, haha. And why my dude at the end, sound EXACTLY like Lil Wayne's a**? He had that whole autotune / mouth full of something sound down to a science. That's one of the things I love about Affion's spoofs, his comedy and his imitations be on point. Comments? -MinM

Katt Williams Last Interview Ever?!

I'm sure that everyone heard about Katt Williams being hospitalized for a mental breakdown and saw the tapes and all that. I didn't break the story cause at first, I thought people was just hating. But then when I found it was true, I just didn't have the heart to put pimpin' out there like that. Well he is back in business now and is talking about retiring from comedy. However, he wants to stay in the game via another medium. Also, he has beef with a big time producer and rapper. Peep the video of what he says is his final interview ever, to get further details on what's going on.
