TMZ Reports

Law enforcement sources tell us L.A. County Sheriff’s deputies pulled over the multi-platinum selling rapper and his wife in a Maybach on Sunset Boulevard around 10:30PM. Deputies say they smelled marijuana, and after searching the vehicle they arrested T.I. and Tameka.
The couple just got married on July 30 in Miami, and T.I. — real name Clifford Harris Jr. — is on probation after doing seven months in prison on federal weapons charges.

We’re told T.I. and Tameka are in custody right now. Bail amount is $10,000.

What would Nicki Minaj have to gain with fighting? She isn’t the one trying everything possible to say relevant. I’m done with this issue.

It’s hard to trust a Black woman [sometimes] because a lot of Black women’s mind frame is that the man gotta do everything for her⎯ he gotta pay for this, he gotta pay for that, and if it ain’t about money then a lot of them ain’t fucking with him. If that’s what you’re here for then I don’t want to be with you. Most single Black women feel like they don’t want to settle for less. Their standards are too high right now. They have to understand that successful Black men are kind of extinct. We’re important. It’s hard to find us so Black women have to bow down and let it be known that they gotta start working hard; they gotta start cooking and being down for they man more. They can’t just be running around with their head up in the air and passing all of us.

My girl is Black and White. I guess the half White in her is where she still cooks and do all the shit that I say, so we make it. She just takes care of me and I like that. She don’t be begging and I don’t gotta buy her all this crazy ass shit. And she’s a smart girl too. She graduated from Columbia [University] and I like that about her so it’s cool. I’ve dated girls that will buy a $3,000 bag and don’t know how to pay it off on their credit cards. They walk around in these Louis Vuittons and red bottoms but they’re riding around in raggedy cars, so it’s just getting your priorities right.

Days after her now infamous shots as Nicki Minaj, the newest victim of her barrage is Nicki’s new manager/Kim’s long time associate, Diddy.

The “Queen Bee” had a performance at Baltimore’s Club Sonar on Sunday. During the run through of the classic posse cut, “It’s All About The Benjamins,” Kim decided an impromptu line switch was needed when she said,”Puffy should be ashamed of his f*ckin’ self.” As if that wasn’t enough, Kim later bought out fellow anti-Nicki supporter Keys The Problem to speak her mind on Young Money’s leading lady.

People Magazine Reports:

A wedding and a baby are on the way for Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz. The musicians “are expecting a baby and are engaged to be married in a private ceremony later this year,” reps for the couple confirm to PEOPLE. The announcement comes after the two, together since fall 2008, attended Thursday night’s Black Ball in London, which benefits Keys’s Keep a Child Alive charity.

These two have been sleeping with each other for years, and unfortunately Swizz at the time was married to singer/ex wife Mashonda. The same way you caught him Alicia is the same way you will loose him. Destroying a family to create your own. Good Luck with that Ms. Keys. Read rest of story…

Dear Slim,

In 1999, I wrote you and Dr. Dre a letter. In that letter, I told you how your music has impacted me. I asked if I can be a musician for Aftermath, which probably turned you off, because everyone asks to be down with the “wave” at the time. In 2000, I wrote you another letter, just to tell you how much you saved my life. When I got rejected by Regis High School, I cried for HOURS listening to “Stan”, because I feel like I gave my 100% to my TACHS exam. After my rejection letter to Xavier, I cried to the whole album. I felt like believing in education was meaningless. And strangely, your music which pissed off gays and lesbians kept me going. I think what you and ICP have in common is the subliminal messages of encouragement. I never tried to backmask your music and say what you’re saying in reverse (until about 2 weeks ago; was just curious if you were one of the “them” I spent my entire career trying to not be; you’re not).

As of late, I found myself in a “Relapse” rut. I am nicer than any rapper that is to come. Period. And I don’t have a need to battle a Wale or a Cory Gunz to prove it. I know my lyrical ability, whether these hip-hop sites will admit to it or not. “He can’t make a good song!” “He hasn’t had a dope project since The Pink Lavalamp!” and “Charles Hamilton sold out!” haunt me to this day. Was it the “Brooklyn Girls” video? The “Charles Hamilton Is Back” trailer (the song is called “New Music From Charles Hamilton”. And then, there’s the recent self-ether attack of this pic… Read rest of story…

For the most part, this Solar/Guru fiasco has gotten uglier than any of us could have possibly ever imagined. The wound of Guru’s death is still fresh, so for most it still remains a sensitive topic to discuss. Then when you bring into account Solar’s questionable activity after his passing, the whole situation seems to get more complex by the day.

Leave it to the Internet to up the ante. Apparently since Friday, unknown hackers got a hold of Guru and Solar’s Twitter accounts and all hell proceeded to break loose.

Throughout the evening, the intruder released a series of emails sent to or from Solar, including the controversial statement allegedly made by Guru, while he was dying of cancer.

“Remember that I am doing this for Guru. We all deserve the truth,” the hacker Twittered. “I’ve posted these e-mails for you, now let me know what you think of them. Should I post more? Should I stop? Am I smooth? Elaborate! I’ve got around 800 mails lol, so it will take a while…”

The unknown individual has been Tweeting from Solar’s account since May 7th. Tonight, the individual released a number of sensitive emails from Solar’s account.

It gets even crazier from there. Nude pictures of women who sent pics to Solar and royalty statements were among the e-mails which were released. No one knows at the moment who hacked the profiles, but if those e-mails are in fact real, all I can do is laugh and move on. Not laugh because I find it humorous, instead, it’s sickening to think of someone using another person’s sickness to their benefit. At some point, Solar cared for Guru, I believe that. However, friends don’t do that to friends. At least not real friends. Read rest of story…
