Alfamega exposed as a Federal Informant....Dropped from Grand Hustle

Damn man, DAMN!

Famously known for their mugshots (and their hatred of rappers...ask Rick Ross and Plies) The Smoking Gun, released some no doubt shocking news yesterday, when they revealed that the self-proclaimed "Grand Hustle Muscle" Alfamega was in fact an informant...for the DEA....

From TSG:

Court records show that Zellars began working with law enforcement officials after he was sentenced in September 1995 to 110 months in a federal gun case (Zellars, who had a prior felony robbery conviction, was collared for selling weapons to an undercover federal agent). Zellars “agreed to cooperate with authorities and was debriefed” about the criminal activity of several individuals. “In particular he was debriefed concerning the drug trafficking activities of a Mr. Ali Baaqar,” according to a government court filing, a copy of which you’ll find below. During his cooperation against Baaqar, Zellars met with a DEA agent and a federal prosecutor, and subsequently testified at trial. “Ali Baaqar was convicted of conspiracy to distribute heroin based upon the trial testimony of [Zellars] and others.” In return for his snitching, Zellars had 18 months shaved off his prison term when he was resentenced in July 1997 by Judge J. Owen Forrester.

damn. And if that isnt bad enough, T.I. was taken down by someone who was an informant IN his camp (but wasn't Alfa). Earlier today T.I. released this statement from what seems like a microphone in the Underground Railroad, effectively dropping Alfa from the Grand Hustle roster for his deception:

T.I. Speaks on Alfamega

(statement for those who can't understand):

Even though all our artists and employees are asked by us to be honest and open about their past history, at no time did Alfa disclose to me or Grand Hustle what has now appeared in the media. He essentially deceived us by failing to fully disclose the truth about his past and there is no place in our organization for dishonest and misleading behavior. As I have always said, you must take responsibility for your own actions. We at Grand Hustle can not support or condone the blaming of others for our own mistakes. I hope and pray to god bless his financial plans, but I don’t forsee me or my company playing a role in his personal or professional business. End.

Damn x2. It's a cold road for people out here, but I have to wonder what Alfa was thinking knowing that at any moment this could have been revealed. Punchin niggas in the face, goin hard for the camp and shit, just to get exposed.... sucks to be you

Blender Shuts Down

This is crazy, all my favorite magazines are being shut down. Blender was actually dope, and had great reviews too.

From HERE:

Alpha Media Group closed Blender magazine today, eliminating about 30 jobs and reducing its portfolio of titles to Maxim alone. The April issue of Blender out now will be its last.

The decision, delivered to Blender staff in a meeting this morning, came as part of broader changes that also included the departure of Alpha co-CEO Glenn Rosenbloom and the integration of editorial staff for Maxim and Maxim Digital.

I'm gonna miss their controversial "lists".

Justice was NOT served

Cousins guilty of involuntary manslaughter in Taliaferro slaying


*picture and ARTICLE from Richmond-Times Dispatch, props to DJ Skip for the link*

Ethan Parrish faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $2,500 for involuntary manslaughter, and up to one year and a $2,500 fine for assault and battery in the shooting of Courtney Jones.
Joey Parrish faces the same prison time on the involuntary manslaughter and assault and battery convictions, plus an additional sentence for being a felon in possession of a weapon. Joey Parrish, who was a juvenile at the time of the shooting, will be sentenced by Judge Thomas V. Warren.

Ethan Parrish testified that it was out of fear that he attached an 83-round clip to a semiautomatic rifle and opened fire, killing Taliaferro and injuring another youth.

Senseless, senseless violence, perpetrated by a Justice system that doesnt always do what it's supposed to do. You would think we would learn by now, but it takes stuff liek this to make us wake up and see whats most important. I pray for Taliaferro's family.

Michael Jackson to retire for good after final shows in July

Damn, bullshit aside, this is the end of an era.

From CNN:

Reclusive pop icon Michael Jackson announced Thursday a set of major concerts -- which he called a "final curtain call."

In a brief news conference in London he said: "I will be performing the songs my fans want to hear.

"This is it, the final curtain call."

He took no questions after the statement and it was not immediately clear if Jackson meant the concerts were his "curtain call" for London or the wider world.

Jackson will perform at least 10 concerts at London's O2 Arena, according to the host of the announcement event.

DMX found.....in Miami....at Scott Storch's house

So earlier this week the authories set out to find DMX...and they found him at an unlikely place.

From MTV.com:

FBI agents then apprehended DMX at the Palm Island mansion of producer Scott Storch. According to TMZ, an unnamed woman in Georgia tipped off the Arizona sheriff's department officials to X's whereabouts when she heard about the $5,000 reward being offered for information leading to his arrest. Cohen said he is not sure what Storch and X's personal relationship is, or if Storch was home at the time of the arrest. The producer had a warrant out for his arrest earlier this year, when he failed to appear in court for a child-support case, and has been working on straightening out his finances after his home was foreclosed in July.

Lil' Wayne needs better Weed carriers

Wayne's hearing for his weapons charge was today, and boy; did his weed carrier waste NO TIME in letting the court know what the "Best Rapper Alive"™ is smoking on:

From TMZ:

The Weez's assistant was up on the stand today and under blunt questioning from the DA, explained in great detail how pot is "something we always have" on the tour bus. Wayne's bud also said the star only smokes "dro" -- which, as the assistant explained, is short for "hyDROponically grown" weed (i.e., the good s**t). The court was, we're told, buzzing.

Damn....

Black Moon's Buckshot hospitalized for seizures

Buckshot of the legendary group Black Moon was hospitalized yesterday after returning from Europe due to multiple seizures.

A statement from Duck Down's CEO and the article can be found here:

"While of course we are disappointed to have to reschedule a sold out show obviously nothing takes precedent over Buckshot's health. If he could walk out of that hospital on his own right now I know he would have been on that stage. He was truly looking forward to this night," said Duck Down CEO Dru Ha.

Damn, hope he gets better, this aint nothin to play with

OH SHIT!

This is the moment i have been waiting for since street fighter 2! you finally get to fight Ryu and Ken's master!
