so Joc did show up in court yesterday...

7 hours late.
the warrant for his arrest/fugitive status/and the doubled bail have all been overturned.
Joc still maintains his innocence.

Yung Joc (government Jasiel Robinson) missed his mandatory court appearance stemming from his holiday brush with the law.

his bond has doubled to $100, 000.00 and a warrant was requested for his arrest by Gayle Williams, the Assistant Prosecutor for Cuyahoga County.

Joc's lawyer apologized however, and cited that his client was 'out of town due to personal family issues'.

i guess it's going down.

Bandana P dropped info recently that his new album HNIC 2 will be released in over 1,400 different languages and dialects.

"“I'll be the first hip hop artist to release a record that's converted into foreign languages using the Voxonic voice conversion technology,” Prodigy said via statement. “The technology they use is a great opportunity for me to keep supplying my fans around the world with music to hold them down while I'm away"

The album is slated to drop in March 2008

ON December 04, 2007 Pimp C, real name Chad Butler -- and one half of the rap duo UGK, was found dead in a hotel room this morning in Los Angeles. L.A. County Fire responded to a 911 call at the Mondrian Hotel, located on trendy Sunset Strip in Hollywood. They arrived to his sixth floor hotel room to find him dead in bed. He was 33.

The leader of the Black Mafia Family (BMF) pled guilty yesterday (November 20) to heading a criminal enterprise...

including drug distribution and money laundering.

BMF co-founder Demetrius Flenory, also known as Big Meech, plead guilty in his hometwon city of Detroit, according to the DEA website.

The 39-year-old drug king pin said that from 1990 through 2005 he led BMF in large scale distribution of controlled substances, mainly cocaine, collecting millions of dollars in cash off the sales of narcotics.

He washed the money in real estate purchases and bought vehicles and jewelry with the cash

According to the terms of the plea bargain, Flenory agreed to pay back $270,000,000 and faces 30 years in prison. A sentencing hearing has not been set.

Flenory's brother, Terry Flenory and five other defendants are still scheduled for trial on November 26. 41 defendants have been indicted along with the brothers and 32 have pleaded guilty.

Kanye and the fake beef...... maybe pork??

Rapper Kanye West has admitted that his chart battle with rival 50 Cent was a publicity stunt that he dreamed up to sell more records.

West was declared the winner when the two stars went head to head in September after releasing their albums on the same day. But he now admits that he was responsible for creating the media frenzy.

"The spin doctor, who's made a name for himself throughout the South with the success of his "Gangsta Grillz" mixtape series also expressed his dislike with what he feels is a lack of originality currently in the mixtape game.

"For the younger DJ's or the ones that may not have the attention that DJ Drama has I would just say keep doing your thing and stop f**kin makin' Lil' Wayne tapes every other day," Drama explained. "I mean, it's not a comment on Wayne. You know Wayne is feeding the people so of course people are definitely interested in him, but from a DJ's perspective it's like by you putting Lil' Wayne on your cover every week and putting out the last songs that he's had out for the last three months, it's not doing anything for you.

According to a recent article, Young Buck is admitting that he was involved with Trina during the time she was with Lil' Wayne. Never to be one to hold his tongue for anybody, Buck went on the record to explain it. As you may already know, 50 Cent had a song out where he said,
"When Trina was tellin Wayne, 'I love you, boo'/She was running games, she told Buck that too". Buck says it's the truth.

"It's the truth, it's the f---ing truth! 50 is not f---ing lying," Buck proclaimed. "You want me to tell you the truth? I'mma tell you the truth. I was messing with her while she was messing with [Wayne]. I would hear him on the phone [in the background] every now and then while she's laying right there. She knows it. 50 ain't doing nothing but speaking the truth."

Donda West, mother to Chicago bred rapper Kanye West, has reportedly passed away.

The tragic news was broken by Hot 97's Miss Info via her blog.
Donda reportedly passed away in Los Angeles early today (November 11). Kanye, who was in London when the tragic news surfaced, is on his way back home.
The rapper has always publicly celeberated his close relationship with his mother and dedicated a song to her on his sophomore album, Late Registartion.

Donda served as Kanye's manager and was a former chairman of the English department at Chicago State University.
Earlier this year, she released a book titled Raising Kanye which detailed his childhood and her experiences as her son's manager.

T.I. has reportedly dropped a request to host a Thanksgiving dinner at his Jonesboro home as he awaits trial on federal weapons charges.
The Associated Press reports that T.I.'s lawyers dropped the request today (Nov. 8) due to the strong opposition from prosecuting attorneys.
Prosecutors said that T.I. wasn’t appreciative of “the generosity of the court granting his release and the gravity of the charges lodged against” him. They also felt the list of 95 names of requested visitors’ T.I. has submitted has been burdensome for court officials to run background checks which are far from complete.

“Fall the fuck back and come speak to us like a man before you go to the internet. Stop being corny.

Tell him to tell me why. He was off before he did the dumb shit. He can get off if he makes a public apology on the internet. Make that apology nice and humble.”

Philadelphia rapper Dice Raw has teamed with The Roots’ front man Black Thought to form a new group, The Money Making Jam Boys, which also features rappers Truck North and Porn.

Dice Raw, Karlos Jenkins, has been putting in long hours in the recording studio preparing material for MMJB’s upcoming debut release, in addition to a slew of his own solo projects.

"It’s pure East Coast Hip-Hop in the tradition of the greats who came before us, breaking some rules and creating new ones as we go along," Dice Raw told AllHipHop.com. "MMJB is pure East Coast fire, it’s a mindset and a way of life."

In addition to recording the untitled follow up to his 2000 solo debut album Reclaiming the Dead, Dice Raw will expand his musical horizon’s with his New Wave/Hip-Hop project, Nouveau Riche.

"It‘s new world music [with] so many influence, fans can expect almost anything," Dice Raw stated. "It’s a labor of love and we do what we got to do to get it done."

In the coming weeks, Dice Raw will be featured on a new song featuring Black Thought and Peedi Crack, which will be accompanied by a video.

Dice Raw will release a number of digital tracks next month from his solo project, MMJB and Nouveau Riche.

Travis: I’m a huge, huge Lil’ Wayne fan and I wanted to do a remix of one of our songs, so I thought let’s get Weezy on and we sent him a song on Friday evening and Wayne sent it back on a Saturday morning completely finished and I was like, “Holy sh*t, this dude’s crazy.”

We’ve spoken to each other a few times, and I met him last year at the MTV VMA’s and then we bumped into each other a few times after and he asked me to be on his new record and I said, “Fo sure.”
I think his record is more eagerly anticipated than both Kanye’s or ‘50s were.

AHHA: So have you heard Lil’ Wayne’s new material for his new album?

Travis: I’ve heard some of it. It’s f**king brilliant. Absolutely f**king brilliant.
