The Real "Freeway" Rick Ross Sides With 50 Cent & Floyd Mayweather, Launches Label & Website
AllHipHop Reports
Recently freed drug kingpin “Freeway” Rick Ross has revealed plans for his career and record label now that he has his freedom, after a 20-year-prison sentence.
The Los Angeles-based rising entrepreneur has launched a label and website, FreewayEnterprise.com, which will seek new faces to star in new movies being produced by the reformed drug dealer.
Ross appeared on AllHipHop Radio’s Eric B. and Friends morning show today (October 26) and revealed details about his post-prison plans.
“I’m working on four movies right now, including one with Mike Epps," Ross revealed. "I am going to be letting people off the site play in the movie. If you are trying to get on that’s what we are doing, putting people on."
expressed his support for boxer Floyd Mayweather and rapper 50 Cent, two celebrities that have feuded with Miami rapper Rick Ross, who adopted the elder Ross’ name.
"50 Cent called me the day I got out and let me know if there was anything I needed to just let him know," Ross told AllHipHop.com Radio. "I don’t know how he got my cell but the morning I got out he called me and expressed his support."
During the interview, Ross broke down his strained relationship with Philadelphia rapper Freeway and Miami emcee Rick Ross, who was born William Roberts III.
“In the beginning I was offended being in prison. Prison makes you a little bitter. I was a little bitter that they didn’t reach out and show me some love for using my handle,” Ross continued. “But right now I am enjoying life. Freeway reached out a week before I got out, but Rick Ross has never reached out, he still hasn’t reached out.”
Ross was freed from the Texarkana Federal Prison in September of 2009, after serving 14-years of a 20-year sentence, after he was busted purchasing 100 kilos of cocaine from undercover agents in 1996.
An attempt to contact rapper Rick Ross was successful when the rap artist first burst upon the national scene in 2001, but the conversation didn’t go well.
“He abruptly stopped taking my phone calls," Ross told AllHipHop.com. "I didn’t come with my hand out, I came with ideas that I thought could make their career better. I don’t want to be around nobody where I am just getting fed, I want to be somebody that brings substance to the table.”
The drug baron, who often counted up to as much as a million-dollars per day through his crack dealing operations, is currently finalizing his autobiography in addition to a film centered around his controversial life.
“I am more prepared now than I ever have been before in my life,” Ross stated. “I took all my prior experiences and ive been able to flip them into this legitimate world. I’ve transformed my drug experiences into legitimate business.”

Lil Wayne Pleads Guilty To Gun Charge [Facing A Year in Jail]
Allhiphop reports:
Rapper Lil Wayne pleaded guilty to attempted weapons possession charges today (October 22).
As reported by AllHipHop.com yesterday (October 21), the rapper is expected to receive a maximum sentence of one year in jail, although he is expected to serve around eight months in prison for the offense.
The rapper had previously pleaded not guilty to the charges, but changed the plea to avoid a trial that was due to start January 20 and could have resulted in at least 3 ½ years in prison.
The guilty plea stems from an incident in New York in 2007, after police found a .40 caliber handgun during a search of his tour bus.
Originally, lawyers for Wayne planned to contest the charges.
Yesterday (October 21), the plea was entered after Wayne’s DNA evidence was allegedly found on the weapon and deemed admissible by a judge.
The DNA evidence found was reportedly small, and Wayne’s lawyers initially sparred with the prosecution over whether DNA profiling technique used was scientifically acceptable.
Before the trial, Lil Wayne’s manager had publicly taken responsibility for the gun on the rapper’s VH1 special.
Lil Wayne, 27, also faces a trial in Arizona for felony drug possession and weapons charges, after a 2008 arrest during a routine stop at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint.
At press time, Lil Wayne could not be reached for comment.
His much-delayed rock debut, The Rebirth, is scheduled to hit stores on December 15.

Shyne Gets Deported :(
Missinfo reports that Angie Martinez spoke with Shyne and he wanted to share this update….
Shyne’s team is fighting to stay in the US where his mother and his grandmother live and where they raised him….but it seems like he’s going to have to continue the fight from Belize. Shyne will be released from Immigration custody but will then be deported to Belize soon. He has Harvard Professor Charles Ogletree advocating on his behalf in concert with his legal team. They’re still urging fans to reach out to Governor Patterson’s office to petition for Shyne’s pardon (Paterson’s email / Paterson’s address) but deportation is imminent.
And what about Shyne’s mental state? Angie says "Shyne is one of the strongest people I know and he’s handling this situation just as I’d expect him to. It must be frustrating for all of his friends and family; he served his time, and keeps getting all these different dates and conflicting information. But he’s a soldier, he’s dealing with it."

Uncle Russ Post Blog Via Global Grind About Jay Z as the Greatest!!!
I remember, like it was yesterday, hearing one of my favorite rap records of all time, “Aint’ No N*gga,” while sitting in office and talking about the “Nutty Professor” soundtrack with Kevin Liles. He told me about Damon Dash, who wasn’t looking for just a record deal, he wanted a label. He and Jay weren’t looking to make hit records, they were looking to make history. I knew immediately that I was hearing greatness. But I wasn't clear on who was greater on the record. I loved Foxy Brown at least equally as much. What I definitely didn’t know, back then, is that Jay-Z would surpass Elvis Presley with the most number one albums as a solo artist of all time! It just happened, so naturally…it was like breathing, watching Jay put up number one albums. Damn. 11 in a row.
Looking back at his amazing career, it suddenly dawned on me, that in a hundred years from now, we’re gonna be talking about Jay-Z. When we think of hip-hop, we will think of Jay. But what is even more important than his album sales, is his affect on American popular culture. Let us not forget that all the other “kings” didn’t come from the culture that created the music that they played. Hip-hop is the first cultural phenomenon represented by a face in the community where the culture came from. This wasn’t possible for rock n’ roll or blues or jazz…it was Elvis and Mick Jagger and Benny Goodman who were always considered the best. But, now the king of rap is confirmed black. And that means a lot.
Chuck Berry, as great as he was, couldn’t do it. It took a few kids from Hollis, Queens to integrate MTV. It took a bunch of MCs from Brooklyn to integrate popular radio. It took hip-hop to the change the face of America. It changed racial politics. Kids in Beverly Hills now understand the plight of kids in Compton. It changed the way kids dressed in Brixton and Johannesburg. It gave a voice to the voiceless. It became so powerful, that it gave us the President of the United States. Without hip-hop there is no Barack Obama. And without Jay-Z, we wouldn’t be where we are today. I love Eminem. I love the Beasties…I will love the next Indian, Italian, Spanish, Asian rapper as well. But the king will be a NYC African-American, just like the founders Bambaataa, DJ Hollywood, Grandmaster Flash and a few others. So I lift a glass to the King and look forward to the day when he passes the Beatles with the most number one albums of all time! Cause, damn, he already crushed Elvis and his blue suede shoes.
God bless you Jay! Hip-hop loves you!
-Russell Simmons

Diddy Holds 106 & Park Audience Hostage In Search Of $20K Dollar Ring He Accidentally Flung In Crowd
NY Post----Just call him P. Dopey.
Bling-loving hip-hop mogul Diddy accidentally flung a diamond-studded ring into a raucous crowd as he hurled bundles of cash off a stage at a Midtown studio -- sparking an audience frisking that had attendees feeling like common criminals, The Post has learned.
"Ok diddy lost his ring . . . and now there frisking all the kids like this is rikers lite," a user named PWillzNYC posted on Twitter of Tuesday's post-taping mayhem.
Another user, named dbaumz, tweeted, "[W]hen it was over, diddy held us hostage lookin for his lost ring. dont like him no more!!!"
The rapper/producer, whose real name is Sean Combs, had security search all 160 audience members after filming wrapped on the BET music-video show "106 & Park" before they were allowed to leave.
The search came up empty.
"The craziest s- - - just happened to me lol I guess its s- - - -in on me season . . . Enjoy it while it lasts!!!!! lol life is crazy!" Diddy posted on his Twitter page soon afterward.
It was not clear which of the rapper's rings disappeared at the CBS studios on West 57th Street, but a staffer told the audience it was worth $20,000.
"He ain't getting' it back," one witness said. "Someone pocketed that, and they probably took it to the nearest jeweler."
At the beginning of the show, Diddy and members of his new hip-hop group, Dirty Money, could be seen prancing around the stage tossing wads of fake $100 bills.
But once the crowd saw there was real cash mixed in, a free-for-all erupted.
"The audience went wild," said BET spokeswoman Marcy Polanco. "We were like, 'Oh, my God!' "
Sources said there were about $25 to $100 in singles mixed in with the funny money.
In the midst of the frenzy, a bewildered Combs suddenly looked down at his hands and walked out of view.
"As he was throwing the money out to the audience, his ring flew off," Polanco said.
As soon as the cameras cut, the host announced that the bling had disappeared, sending already-riled audience members dropping to their knees.
The rapper's staff even tried to rip up part of the set in an effort to find the ring, a source said.
The rest of the show went on as planned.
BET said that audience members were screened using a metal-detecting wand and that no one was detained.
CBS referred calls to BET. Diddy's publicist did not return a call for comment.
