Young Jeezy Arrested

Sorry about not updating, anyone that reads this site. I've been busy.

Via Defsounds.com

Rapper Young Jeezy was arrested this morning after being pulled over for erratic driving.
According to TMZ, at around 2:30 AM, cops apprehended and charged Jeezy on a list of vehicular and driving violations. At the time of the report, known charges the rapper faced included DUI, speeding, reckless driving, having no tags, driving with an open container and no proof of insurance.

Young Jeezy was released shortly this morning on bail, and will be back in court on July 17th.

At press time no comments were avail from his reps.

As reported earlier this week, in other legal news concerning Young Jeezy, a former BMF (Black Mafia Family) member, admitted according to court documents, that Jeezy received kilos of cocaine from BMF. The statement was made in hopes to receive a lighter sentence.

Tha Carter III...423K Sales In The First Day

WHY? HOW? WHAT HAS THIS EARTH COME TO? Lupe has been struggling since December and finally broke 500K and earned himself a gold record just recently. Lil Wayne sells 423,000 THE FIRST DAY! Think about this. If people keep doing this...he might just beat Outkast's record for a Diamond disc. 500K = Gold. 1M = Platinum. 10M = Diamond...Outkast>>>>>>Lil Wayne. The self proclaimed "Best Rapper Alive" obviously hasn't seen the impact he's had on hip hop compared to the impact Rakim, NaS, KRS-One, or OutKast has had. WEEZY F. JAILHOUSE LOVE BABY CANNOT RAP. He's just another long haired, club hit making, sex addict who occasionally kisses dudes on the mouth...But you know...that makes him totally acceptable in todays culture. With that said...

BOYCOTT LIL WAYNE!!!

Slept On CD's: Round One

This is my first post on my new "segment" or whatever. Underrated cds or rarely heard cds from people that are underground artists.

First up...Below The Heavens by Blu & Exile

This cd is a definite must have for ANY hip hop fan. If you like music with substance and meaning, then get this. You will not regret it. This cd is cheap on Amazon.com if you order it as MP3's. It's only 6.99 and it's WELL worth the money. The lyrics are solid being rapped by Blu and they have that natural feel that only underground or non-sell outs *cough*Lil Wayne*cough* can give. His voice and flow compliments Exile's bass heavy beats and orchestra style strings. From the opening track to the end track, it is one of a handful that I can listen to all the way through. Whether you like hip hop or not, you have to recognize the talent and emotions put into the lyrics and, dare I say, the beats. Exile basically pours his heart into this cd's production. It will not disappoint. Check out the videos on the side section in 2007.
