Shawty Lo Signs To G-Unit

Some things are still hard to believe. After three months of speculation, Shawty Lo tells AHH that he’s has signed a deal with 50 Cent’s G-Unit Records.

This is like something before the album, my new situation with G-Unit was just solidified and I got off the phone with 50 yesterday, I just signed a really large deal.
Its like a new beginning and all I needed was someone behind me. 50 [Cent] is a marketing genius and I got my new thing D4L and G-Unit and we going to be working the south and the rest of the world if need be.

In the wake of his new deal, Lo is also released a new mixtape B.H.F. Bankhead Forever hosted by Greg Street.

Popular NYC DJ Mister Cee Allegedly Arrested For Having Gay Sex

HSK EXCLUSIVE – Hot 97 Deejay Calvin “Mister Cee” Laburn (executive producer of the Notorious B.I.G.’S debut album “Ready to Die”) was busted by NYPD cops before being hauled off to jail and charged with lewd conduct. It happened this past Wednesday at about 5:00 p.m. That’s when cops approached a parked car and caught Mister Cee in the act of receiving fellatio from a man inside the vehicle. The 44-year-old music man was booked at Manhattan’s 1st Precinct, located at West Street and Watts Street.
I’m told the male who was performing the sexual act on Mister Cee is just 20-years-old, which makes the man less than half his age. Now, I wonder if Mister-Cee pays to play with male prostitutes? I don’t know, but I do know Mister Cee reportedly likes to pay female strippers to urinate on him. Is that Hip/Hop? I don’t think so.

Cassidy speaks on Lil Wayne kissing Baby & talks about his new partnership with Carmelo Anthony

Cassidy recently gives his opinion on Lil Wayne & Baby kissing..

"whoever out there kissing another man like if you consider yourself to be a gangster and you kissin another gangster, then i'm talkin to you, it dont matter who you is... i'm not just directing it at one person like it only go for him.. if you considered to be a gangster or a man period you shouldn't be kissing another man or another gangster period."

Cassidy talks about going independent and partnering with Camelo Anthony.

When i got free from J Records and Full Surface i knew i wanted to be a independent artist but i knew that was gonna require a gang of budgets from myself.... i'm not gonna be able to get them video budgets and them recording budgets and them advances from the record label so i was gonna have to bring that to the table on my own and i wasn't willing to spend my own money, so i realized i had relationships with people thats getting money like Carmelo, he got a lot of money" Cassidy continues "i'm not signed to Carmelo production company. I'm signed to my own production company but i did a partnership with Carmelo first and foremost, once i did that then i went and got the distribution from my production company through E-1 so i did the partnership with Carmelo first then i went and got the distribution through E-1" Cassidy

MY THOUGHTS... applause to Cassidy for NOT signing to a record company and being smart enough to get a investor and distribution to go independent. I tell New artist this ALL the time, if you can get a investor to give you the budget you need to make things happen, get that money, hire your own staff and go Independent. That is the best way to go now days, you can control your own destiny and not worry about a label trying to change you or putting your project on the back burner."

As for the Gangster kissing thing... I guess it means different things to different people. A guy once told me that he kisses his homeboys, he said its what gangstas do. He actually tried to convince me that straight men who are gangsta's kiss all the time, lol. I wouldn't even like it if he was kissing his female friends in the mouth let alone kissing men... that's too much. This man struck out with me for 2 reasons. the first strike was... he's a "grown man" who calls himself a gangsta and secondly, i want NO parts of any man who kisses another man on the lips for any reason whatsoever... i don't care if it's the gangsta code, the mafia code or the jesus code.

I LOVE having gay men as friends (they are the best) and actually my favorite and most fun to hang around but when it comes to me picking men to DATE... thats a whole other story. it's too confusing and a complete turn off for me if i meet a man who say's he is straight but then exhibits down low behavior like kissing his homeboys around the way in the mouth. No thanks.

G. Dep Confesses To A Murder

G. Dep’s conscious got the best of him and, on Wednesday, he confessed to killing John Henkel in Harlem 17 years ago. According to the NY Post, The Deputy walked into the 25th precinct and gave details of how he committed the crime.

Coleman, who grew up in the projects, told cops he was riding a bike when he rolled up on Henkel, 32, on Park Avenue and East 114th Street and announced a robbery. Coleman told Detective William Dunn that Henkel resisted and grabbed his .40-caliber gun. He allegedly admitted that he pulled away and shot his victim three times in the chest.

The former Bad Boy artist was charged with murder and is currently being held without bail.

Diddy Pissy At Jay Electronica For Signing To Roc Nation? + Lamar Odom Suing His Baby Mama

Not everyone was thrilled about rapper Jay Electronica signing to Roc Nation. Diddy, a close friend of Jay-E's, felt betrayed by his decision to throw up the Roc sign. He took to twitter to vent his feelings. Read more about Diddy's tweets and find out why Lamar Odom has decided to sue the mother of his kids from his previous relationship...

Over the last year, Diddy has tried to lure Jay Electronica to sign a deal with Bad Boy Records. They even recorded the track titled "The Ghost of Christopher Wallace" together. But it looks like his attempts of courting Jay-E fell short.
Although his tweets did not name Electronica specifically, Rap Radar says Diddy tweeted about feeling betrayed moments after Electronica announced his deal with Roc Nation.

Do I sense some "bitchassness?"
Jay Electronica's baby moms, Erkyah Badu tried to offer Diddy some comfort by tweeting an apology.

Can you blame Jay Electronica for looking out for his career and going with the label that he felt would do their best to represent him? Or do you feel that Diddy has a right to feel bamboozled after spending a whole year trying to get him to sign with Bad Boy?


And in deadbeat daddy news, Lamar Odom is suing his baby mama over the two kids that he has allegedly ignored over the past few years. Odom wants a judge to make a "parental access schedule" and set "reasonable child support" for his daughter, Destiny, 12, and son, L.J., 9, who both live with their mom, Liza Morales, in Manhattan.
But this all comes as a surprise to Liza, being that Lamar hasn't been a father to his kids in four years, according to her.  Interesting though that he manages to visit New York frequently he never seems to find time to see his own children. SMDH!

"Lamar basically checked out as a father four years ago," she told The Post. "They [Destiny and L.J.] haven't had quality time in a long time." When we lost our son, he [Odom] was nowhere to be found," she said. Since then "I always had to be the one to ask him: 'Lamar, do you want the kids?' " "This whole going to the court thing -- people, my neighbors -- I don't want them to think this is the kind of mother I am, that he has to go to court for visitation," Morales said. "It's just really shocking, because Lamar knows the truth."

If all this is true, this fool is planning a life and family with Khloe and hiring entertainment managers, but he can't find time to visit and spend time with his own kids? Hopefully he decides to step up to the plate soon and spends more quality time with them instead of camera whoring for the paps with Khloe!
