Red Star Entertainment Says Happy Father's Day!



Juelz Santana, Busta Rhymes, Big Boi, & The Game speak about the responsibilities of being a father, the struggles that they went through as far as their upbringing, and the influence that their fathers had on them.

The King of The South vs. The King of NY



Rapper 50 cent, known for starting controversy with other artists is calling rapper, T.I. a snitch.

The song "You So Tough" on the new G-Unit album T.O.S. (Terminate On Sight) attacks TIP with the lyrics:

"Nowadays this rap sh*t ain’t adding up,
How nigg*s get caught with 10 machine guns, only get 12 months?
Oo-weee, don’t talk to me
If you talking to him, you talking to them…"

"I got the best lawyers that money can buy
They say at best they woulda got me 10 or maybe 9.
I said, how do you explain how the homie breezed?
They said, you keep your mouth shut or you eat the cheese."

T.I. has not yet responded, most likely he wont, but I hinted the two had a lil problem when I wrote that 50 helped T.I. lose his GM endorsment deal. Could this all be a stunt? You know TOS is dropping soon, I wouldnt be suprised if he try to body some people before July 1.

Not Guilty



R. Kelly, has been acquitted of all 14 counts of child pornography. The alleged victim in the video denied it was her, and Kellz also denied that he was in the video.

Rather than focusing on keeping R.Kelly behind bars, don't you think we should be keeping people like Susan Atkins behind bars? If you don't know who Susan Atkins is, she is California's longest serving female inmate. Susan Atkins has just requested a "compassionate release" because she has 6 months left to live. Her request has been approved.

This is crazy in my opinion. If you don't know what Susan Atkins did, I'm going to tell you: "According to historical accounts of the murders, Atkins stabbed Tate (Sharon Tate - Actress), who was 8½ months pregnant, and scrawled the word "pig" in blood on the door of the home the actress shared with director Roman Polanski." - cnn.com

Sharon Tate's sister, Debra Tate says this about Atkins: "I don't want to seem like a heartless creature, but in all my years, I never considered this could happen," she added, "She showed no compassion. She told my sister as she slit her throat that she didn't (care) for her or her unborn baby,"

Our judicial system has a problem, what do you think?

What do you think?: Social Networking


The latest trend these days has been to start up your own social networking website.

Myspace and Facebook are the king pins of all social networking websites and have shown the world the power of this type of network. Major players in this field, such as blackplanet.com, hi5.com, migente.com, etc., have been forced to bow down to Tom (founder of Myspace) and some even pay to advertise on his website.

Rappers are now catching on to the trend, starting their own websites. Some including, T.I., Young Jeezy, 50 cent, and many others. But Why? Starting a social networking website against Myspace or Facebook, is like trying to open up an online bookstore against Amazon. You can't compete! I don't believe in saying absolute statements like that so I won't say you can't compete, but I will say that it is highly unlikely that you will be able to knock the top dogs (myspace, facebook, etc.) Off their pedestal.

At the same time, I'd also like to mention that I support these artists in their projects and they will probably make money. Just don't try to take shots at Myspace and front with statements like "I don't really like myspace, the social network I started is better".

Give credit where credit is due, and try new business ideas, rather than trying to ride a wave that has already reached its peak.
