The Legendary Battle For The Soul of Parking Space #9 Continues!
(ok, to be fair, I don’t actually know which space was in question, but I’m pretty sure it had some sweet front door access.)

Late last night, our worlds were rocked by the outbreak of violence between two sweet R&B crooners, Chris Brown, of the Greenish-Yellow Locks Vs. Frank Ocean, of The Exotic Headband. The two bumped heads (and a finger) after an argument in the parking lot of the Westlake recording studio. There were reports that Frank was upset over Chris parking in his space, and that Chris was blocked from driving off, and that Chris attempted a handshake, but then the scuffle popped off between the stars and their crews…and then doves cried.

Now, the New York Post is reporting that the L.A. County Sheriff has bad news for the currently-on-parole Chris Brown…
Frank Ocean doesn’t care about your silly “code of the streets”…He wants JUSTICE!

Miami’s Local 10 and NBC Miai are reporting witnesses saw Rick Ross traveling in a Rolls Royce that was involved in a drive-by shooting in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. early this morning. Fort Lauderdale Police received calls regarding gunshots at around 5am, and arrived at the scene to find a car crashed into a building.

According to witnesses, a Rolls Royce was heading east on Las Olas when an unknown vehicle approached them and fired over a dozen shots. The driver of the Rolls Royce attempted to flee but crashed into an apartment building on 15th avenue. Police have confirmed to Huffington Post that Ross and an unidentified female were passengers in the car.

No injuries have been reported. Stay tuned as more details became available.

In this clip, Rich Dollaz (long-suffering manager of Olivia primarily for the purposes of the reality show Love and Hip Hop) is begrudgingly being interviewed by the Mouth To Ears blog in the lobby of a hotel….when cops show up to arrest him. The arrest allegedly traces back to an ongoing child support claim. And while it seems like a bit of a hassle (especially when the baby mama pressing charges appears outside the hotel to scream at Dollaz for added melodrama)…if you notice how surly and condescending Dollaz is in the beginning of the interview, maybe the interruption wasn’t so inconvenient after all. Kismet!

Ok, that’s just an awkwardness intermission. Carry on.

Most of us saw this coming, but earlier today, Chief Keef was sent to jail for violating his court ordered probation stemming back from  an arrest dating back two years. Back in December of 2011, the then 16-year-old was apprehended by police after they say he pointed a handgun at them. Miraculously, he managed to avoid getting sent to jail until today. According to DNAinfo.com, Cook County Juvenile Court Judge Carl Anthony Walker said Chief Keef exhibited a “clear disregard for the court’s authority” in appearing with a gun during an interview with Pitchfork.com. The video featured Chief Keef shooting guns at a New York shooting range. As reported, the site was ordered to hand over the video footage.

Dominador Lacson, a firearms instructor at Westside, testified the gun was chained to the range’s firing booth.

Chief Keef’s attorney, Dennis Berkson, argued his client was merely making a publicity film and that representatives from Interscope Records, Chief Keef’s label, were present. “This is no different than if he was in a movie,” said Berkson. “It is a movie.”

But prosecutors argued the judge’s “word is law” and a “higher authority … above Interscope records.” Berkson also argued Chief Keef never had a gun outside the range, but the judge said the range was no different than holding a gun in a private home.

UPDATE: Chief Keef was sentenced to 2 months in a juvenile detention center. (via Complex x Suntimes)

The rapper pleaded with Judge Carl Anthony Walker not to sentence him to juvenile detention, breaking down into tears several times, but the judge said he could not tolerate the teen’s “ blatant violations of the court’s order.

UPDATE2: Sources tell FSD, it was Keef’s mom crying in court. Not the rapper.

Today in Connecticut, there is a state-wide day of mourning as more of the child victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting are laid to rest. As well as a teacher who died shielding her students. Bells throughout Connecticut are being run 26 times in honor of the 26 lives that were lost. Meanwhile, in a most insensitive display of tackiness, Wayne LaPierre, the head of the National Rifle Association, held a press conference (without any questions) where he blamed gun violence on the media, videogames, music, movies, celebrities, funding for foreign aid, attention to sports, law enforcement, possible hurricanes….and gun-free school zone. Said LaPierre, “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun…” *scratches head*

Mayor Bloomberg’s reaction to the NRA speech: “Instead of offering solutions to a problem they have helped create, they offered a paranoid, dystopian vision of a more dangerous and violent America where everyone is armed and no place is safe.”

Some of music and Hollywood’s biggest stars filmed a PSA to denounce the gun-lobby’s status quo, and demand a change in the approach to gun control here in America. Everyone from Beyonce, Chris Rock, Aziz Ansari, Jeremy Renner, Michelle Williams, Jessica Alba, Jamie Foxx, Carmello Anthony, Victor Cruz, and more appear in the “Demand a Plan” campaign…

Cee Lo is standing accused of a serious crime against a woman in Los Angeles.  The unnamed female claims the 38-year-old singer drugged her with MDMA (X) during a dinner date this past July. She says she remembers nothing but waking up naked next to Green afterwards. While details remain scarce, sources say detectives have gone back to the restaurant in question to speak with the staff who were present on the night of the alleged incident. The L.A. County District Attorney’s Office is said to be joining the LAPD in the ongoing investigation. TMZ reports:

1. The woman does not live in LA but went her local law enforcement agency and reported the incident. The matter was eventually referred to the LAPD.

2. LAPD detectives had the woman make a “pretext call” — a call in which someone baits the other party into acknowledging a crime or other misdeed — and it was recorded.

3. Cee Lo is on tape, repeatedly apologizing and referencing MDMA (Ecstasy) — though he does not specifically say he put it in her drink.

It’s never gets easier to report on tragic events, especially senseless deaths. With that said, MissInfo.tv is sad to report that Natina Reed, formerly of the girl group Blaque, was killed after being hit by a car on Friday night. Reed was reportedly struck by a vehicle while she crossed a roadway on the Lawerenceville highway in Atlanta. TMZ says the investigation is still ongoing, but the driver has not been charged with any crimes. The late rapper/singer is survived by her 10-year-old son with Kurupt. Natina would have turned 33 today.

Blaque members Brandi Williams and Shamari Fears-DeVoe released this statement:

“We are devastated by the loss of our group member, sister and friend Natina Reed. Because of the enormous support of Blaque fans and our love for each another, Blaque officially reunited this fall and we were in the process of working on a new album and a reality show. Natina continuously embodied the pioneering spirit of Blaque and her undeniable creativity touched the hearts of fans everywhere. Natina was a mother, sister, accomplished songwriter, artist and friend. We ask for your prayers at this time for Natina’s family. She will forever be missed and her global influence eternally felt. We thank God for the experiences we shared.”

On Wednesday night, footage leaks online of Lil Reese arguing with a young woman and then punching and kicking her….but today, Reese took a different tone from his initial reaction, by tweeting an apology.

When the video first hit the web, Reese tweeted: “The haters tryna see a mf Dwn lol Dey gotta b broke and bored wanna upload sum shit from years ago damnn we winnin it’s 2 late…”
Meanwhile, reactions to the disturbing video have ranged from industry boycotts, open letters from women, and on-air blasts on Hot97…..to the opposite, i.e. angry support, calls for help, and jaded justifications. The full range of views are on display in the comments section of this blog.

But tonight, Reese is expressing his first signs of remorse and culpability. And the woman in the video, has made her first public statement as well….

While Drake has been tweeting about how many times he listened to Chief Keef’s “Love Sosa”…another member of Keef’s crew is getting attention for a different kind of “hit.”

Lil’ Reese…who, along with Lil’ Durk, is one of the more talented members of Keef’s GBE crew…is seen in this shaky cell phone footage arguing with a female at some kind of house party.
After the argument escalates, you see Lil’ Reese poke the young woman. She smacks his hand away. He shoves her. She rushes him in retaliation….and then Reese proceeds to punch and kick her repeatedly even after the girl is prone on the ground, clearly no longer fighting back.

This is not like the infamous uppercut video, where a crazy woman spits on and attacks a bus driver, before he knocks her out. Both the driver and the woman are facing charges.

This is not like the murder of Jo Jo, a 16-year-old aspiring rapper, whose public beef with Chicago rivals, Chief Keef, Lil Reese and Lil Durk was just as much a gang beef as it was a rap one. Keef and Reese mocked the murder on twitter.

It’s not about poverty, or gang culture, or lead-based paint. This is just a demonstration of an inferior human character…and the sign of someone who needs help and punishment.

Be disgusted…

MMG fans can rejoice now that Gunplay is a free man (for now). Today, the Miami rapper was given $150,000 bond and sent home on house arrest. Gunplay still faces charges of aggravated assault with a firearm and armed robbery. He stands accused of robbing his accountant at gunpoint and stealing a cellphone and gold-chain during the incident. While Gunplay can enjoy the comforts of home for the time being, he must return to court to face the music.

“The state did not prove that Mr. Morales was a flight risk or a threat to the community,” said his attorney Michael Grieco in an email statement. “He should be home with his family shortly. This is first step in clearing his name so he can continue his emerging music career.” (via NBC News)
