50 Cent Set to Direct First Music Video For Tony Yayo

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

When a rapper has been in a career where he/she has taken direction from another fo so long, it is only a matter of time before they try and learn how to do for his/her own.

Rappers such as Kanye West and Dr. Dre have already had their hand in directing music videos as West worked on Drake's “Best I Ever Had” and Dre on Snoop Dogg's “Murder Was The Case”.  The next to step up to the plate and sit in the director's chair is G-Unit general Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson.

Fresh off the release of the digital album Gun Powder Guru, Tony Yayo is now dropping a remix sequel, which will be for free download, titled GP2: The Remixes and Jackson will be in charge of the visuals for (more...)

Mariah Carey Remix Album With Hip-Hop Stars Shelved

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

Mariah Carey has scraped her remix albums due to multiple delays and promises fans they will get a fresh project this year.

The compilation, which was recently scheduled for a March 30 release was set to feature a lineup of artists, including Snoop Dogg, R. Kelly, Mary J. Blige and Ludacris, but according to Island/Def Jam the album no longer seemed like a worthwhile project.

On Monday (March 22), Mariah's Twitter account pointed to an announcement on MariahDaily which confirmed that the album would not see an official release, but she has plans to work on a fresh project, which could possibly include a Christmas album.

"We are looking to go possibly to another studio album or Christmas album. The decision hasn't totally been made yet. It's a creative process that cannot be rushed."

The album, which was intended to feature a collection of remixes from her (more...)

Oprah Settles Defamation Lawsuit For South African School

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

Oprah Winfrey can breathe a little easier now that the defamation lawsuit pending against her has been settled.

As previously reported, the former headmistress of her Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls, Nomvuyo Mzamane, filed a lawsuit against her saying that she defamed her character.

After hearing about a sex abuse scandal at the school, Oprah was quoted saying that she “lost confidence” in Mzamane and was "cleaning house from top to bottom” at her academy.

According to Mzamane those remarks have since made it hard on her to find a job.

Lawyers for both parties released a statement Tuesday saying that Oprah and the former headmistress met to settle their differences.

A portion of the statement reads,

“The two parties met woman to woman without their lawyers and are happy that they could resolve this dispute peacefully to their mutual satisfaction."

No details on the settlement have been released.

The sex abuse case for the school is still pending.

As reported earlier, Suge Knight, along with a group of men, allegedly assaulted and robber West Coast rapper Yukmouth and alleviated him of extra weight around his neck.

It seems that thugs are trying to get their eBay on now as a picture has been posted of Yukmouth's chain and they are in the process of looking for the largest bid for a potential sale.

The robbers, however, have stated that there is only one way for the rapper to get his chain back and not have to buy it back, but rapper 40 Glocc would have to come into the picture.

Police have Lee Evans and Philander Hampton in custody for the 1978  murders of 17-year-old Randy Johnson, 18-year-old Melvin Pittman, 18-year-old Ernest Taylor, 17-year-old Alvin Taylor and 17-year-old Michael McDowell.

According to investigators Lee Evans (Left) confessed to the crime to the brother of Ernest Taylor, Roger Taylor, 18 months ago.

Evans admitted to murdering the boys with Hampton by tying them up inside a building and setting it on fire, burning them alive. He says he and Hampton killed the boys after they suspected them of stealing marijuana.

Police never found the boy's remains and continued to consider it a missing person's case.

Evans was previously questioned by police but took a lie detector test and passed clearing his name from the case.

The suspects are being held on $5 million bail each.

SMH….it's a shame these men got away with this for this long.

Let's hope they enjoy the rest of  their lives  behind bars.

Former Inmate Sentenced For Trying To Break Back Into Jail

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

A Florida man got his wish Monday after being sentenced to 15 years behind bars for trying to break back into jail after being released.

25-year-old Sylvester Jiles was originally sentenced to eight years of probation under a plea deal for manslaughter in the death of 19-year-old Devin Prouse.

Just three days after being released and after serving two years behind bars, police caught him trying to scale the barbed wire fences outside the Brevard County jail to return.

Jiles had previously told police that he feared for his life due to retaliation from the victim's family.

Instead of filing a police report however, he decided to take things into his own hands and come back to where he felt safe.

A jury sent him back to jail for an additional 15 years for violating his probation and resisting an officer.

SMH….hope he's happy.
