[/p]The Los Angeles Times is reporting, Rapper Afroman who is known for his comedic hit "Because I Got High," is being sued by a promoter.

Its being alleged that the rapper did not show up for a performance in Columbus, Ohio after accepting an upfront deposit of $1,000.[/p]"I understand the significance of the date. I went to college, but I'm not part of that culture," said Matt Crumpton, one of the plaintiffs' attorneys. "We were going to file it Monday, it was just a matter of do we file it Monday or Tuesday? But we thought, if we were going to file it in the next few days, we might as well do it on the 20th."[/p]

Tyler Perry Responds To Spike Lee’s Criticism: “Go To Hell”

20 apr 2011, 19:47

After repeatedly ignoring Spike Lee's harsh words and criticism of his movies, Tyler Perry decides to fire back. When asked about this thoughts on Mr. Lee's unfavorable views of his film, Perry had this to say:[/p]I’m so sick of hearing about damn Spike Lee. Spike can go straight to hell! I am sick of him saying, ‘This is a coon, this is a buffoon.’ I am sick of him talking about black people going to see movies. This is what he said: ‘You vote by what you see’ — as if black people don’t know what they want to see. I am sick of him. He talked about Whoopi, he talked about Oprah, he talked about me, he talked about Clint Eastwood. Spike needs to shut the hell up![/p]I don’t even understand it. There [are] so many people who walk around, and this is where the whole Spike Lee [issue] comes from — the negativity, ‘This is Stepin Fetchit,’ ‘This is coonery,’ ‘This is buffoonery’ — and they try to get people to get on this bandwagon with them, to get this mob mentality to come against what I’m doing.[/p]What they don’t understand is this, and this is what I want to make perfectly clear to everybody, especially black people: I’ve never seen Jewish people attack Seinfeld and say, ‘This is a stereotype.’ I’ve never seen Italian people attack The Sopranos, I’ve never seen Jewish people complaining about Mrs. Doubtfireor Dustin Hoffman and what they were doing in Tootsie. I never saw it. It’s always black people, and this is something that I cannot undo.[/p]They go on to say that people of other ethnic groups or white people don’t go see my movies, and that’s all a lie. I’m standing on stage looking at thousands of people, thousands of faces, with every race represented, and I’m tired of it. I’m tired of just laying down, tired of just being nice and letting them say whatever they want to say however they want to say it without people knowing what the intent really is.[/p]

New Mixtape: Soulja Boy – Juice

20 apr 2011, 15:57

When Rakim spit, "Sip the juice cuz I got enough to go around, / And the thought takes place uptown/ I grew up on the sidewalk where I learned street talk ... I do not think he had this mixtape in mind. Moreover, Soulja Boy aka DeAndre Cortez Way would have been 2 years old making him too young to remember these iconic words from the legendary rapper.[/p]But, that did not stop Mr. Swag aka Soulja Boy from making his own rendition of the classical album. Let's just hope he does not turn into Bishop if so we are all doomed.[/p]Download Here

To my knowledge I thought it was down. They said I made a $100 million dollars. I don't know where they get that sh*t from. I'm banking in more than a $100 million. That's a low number for a n*gga like me. But it's cool. For anybody to recognize anything is respected. We know what to do. The goal in our life and my life is to be a billionaire.
