(AllHipHop News) Wal-Mart is being scrutinized for its decision to include a number of Hip-Hop documentaries in promotional displays for Black History Month, while rejecting a documentary on the history of blacks in the military.
This is Fabulous News. no doubt the judge will allow him to visit with his family during the holidays. Good Work Tip, We knew you had it in ya. now we have just a few weeks left until he’s back on the streets making music again.
(CNN) — Rapper T.I. was released from prison on Tuesday after seven months, his attorney confirmed.
The performer, whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr., will serve the remainder of a reduced sentence in a correctional center near Fulton County Airport in Atlanta, Georgia.
Harris was sentenced to a year and a day in March 2009 resulting from weapons charges related to purchasing machine guns and silencers.
Officials charged him with providing a bodyguard with $12,000 to buy weapons.
In May, he reported to a federal prison complex in Forrest City, Arkansas, to begin serving his sentence.
In addition to serving prison time, T.I. was placed on house arrest, given community service and was ordered to pay a $100,300 fine.
It was not the first time the platinum-selling artist had been in trouble with the law.
Harris was not permitted to own any guns because he had been convicted in 1998 on felony drug charges, possession of crack cocaine with intent to distribute, in Cobb County in suburban Atlanta.
After the rapper’s arrest, he entered a plea agreement, which federal authorities called unique because it allowed him to remain out of prison for a year while he performed.
Steve Sadow, Harris’ attorney, said prisoners with Harris’ sentence are eligible for a 54-day sentence reduction for good behavior.
Harris is expected to remain at the halfway house for three months and will still be required to finish serving slightly less than 500 hours of community service and about 23 days of home incarceration.
Before reporting to prison, Harris threw himself a going-away party/concert attended by thousands at Philips Arena in Atlanta.
Shaq Fouled Out ? oooooo and he’s gonna have to pay this time. his wife Shaunie has filed for legal seperation; moved the kids and herself to cali from florida; and had shaqinstein served with a full court pass.
An inside source told us last week that Shaq has been chopping down Shaunie’s best friend and that’s what caused the abrupt filing of the papers. Damn, just two years ago, your boy was dropping her because she let her trainer get it, and now it’s his turn. SMH.
the worst part is that he was cheating for five years with the woman who is supposed to be Shaunie’s best friend. shall we say frienemy
This is gonna be a big payout. I bet it’s gonna excede the $150.M that Michael Jordan paid to His Former Wife Juanita. Pain is in his heart and soon it will be in his wallet - no doubt.
Babies cost money Nasir, and you are a parent already so you know this. why would you not want to take care of your child in the fashion you are living in ? this is why the judge needs to look at his real income and decide fairly on what should be provided to the child, and also Kelis; as she hasn’t worked since she got pregnant.
Honestly now Nasir, there has to be someone paying the bills son. he’s making money and he went half on the baby so,
Daddy be a Father; instead of acting like a spermdonor.
obtw, did we forget to mention that he owes more than 2.5 milli to the IRS in back taxes.. Ohhhhh Yesssss. We predict that things are gonna start getting really interesting for Mr. Jones; Real Soon. he betta be nice or he may end up homeless; wishin he could slip back up in that yard to sip a lil bit more of that milkshake.
All we can say is, It Appears once again - the papers are in process.
How do you stand on the stage infront of your husband; on international television; On an awards show and Passionately Kiss Another Man ?
ohh no honey that doesn’t work, ever. I feel sorry for their family breaking up. there are so many divorces and so many single parent families. Toni is the daughter of a minister, and she’s had a lil trouble personally in her past. I hope this doesn’t prevent her from being a good parent to her kids.
Tameka, Ain’t Nothin Cute Bout You Girlfriend, actin like this
Usher claim’s his Baby Momma Tameka Foster; Keyed his whip after she got her final divorce papers. Oooooooh Weeeee,, these women are not taking this drama very well these days. This is just too much drama; after the fact. you see Ursh, you shoulda listened to ya moms from the beginning; and you wouldn’t have any of this mess on ya shoes homebread.
Comedian Katt Williams has been jailed in Georgia on charges of burglary and criminal trespassing. A deputy at the jail in Coweta County, southwest of Atlanta, confirmed Williams was being held there and that a magistrate was expected to set bond at an arraignment Monday afternoon. The deputy did not have access to a police report to provide more details. Williams’ real name is Micah Williams.
This is Thursday November 5, 2009
listen to this call from a 17 year old man who claims Katt
is holding him hostage in a house somewhere; maybe in Coweta.
the phone he is using is from the areacode (504)
which is southern Louisiana – probably near New Orleans.
the time peroid is off, since we dont’ know exactly when this call happened as he was supposedly locked up over the weekend. that would logically mean that it had to happen sometime last week; after Katt took the man to wherever they went. the drama sounds alot like drugs and hoes to us.
Katt has said that the only thing that was wrong with the
story was that he was in a House He Was Leasing; Whooo-Haaaa !!!
Co’mon Katt, if you’re holdin the man cause you want to keep
him there, while you are doing whatever you are doing; and he
wants to go, you are guilty of holding the man hostage.
what’s so hard to understand about that pimpin ?
We Recall his problems in 2008
Ooooooo,,,The Headlines say “CrazyKatt is at it again”
we remember when he came to the D in 2007 for new years;
and got bish-slapped by a man in a pair of $5g cowboy boots.
we also remember when he went to the mental hospital
for a court ordered evaluation; after suspect behaviour
in new york and finally Sumpter, South Carolina last year.
he had to know they weren’t gonna play that crazy
actin mess in the SC. they just don’t roll like that.
this is speaking from personal knowlege of folks from the SC.
We’re Praying that Someone who Loves Him or that someone
in his family who cares; will step in and finally help
to get Katt Back On Track. he is such a comic genius.
who can ever forget Money Mike ?
“Don’t Be Sorry Hoe, Be Careful”
we must be honest, these words made us want to slap the perm off his lil lucky charms head. it’s just his style of delivery that makes him so memorable. He truly is the personification of the onscreen 90’s pimp.
“Hold Up, Wait A Minute; Let Me Put Some Pimpin In-it“

SAGGIN’ IN THE ATL…
Directed by Tracy Crews
With Rajheem, C.T. Martin, Richard Pennington, D-Roc, Yemi Toure.
A film about the pant sagging phenom and one of the ways Atlanta is trying to combat it. We hear from those who are outraged, and from those who are outraged that some others are outraged.
Documentary – 25 mins
Saggin in The ATL is all about the Black Male Point of View on the saggin phenomenon. it’s filmed and produced by Black Men, in hopes that the rest of us will finally understand the myraid of emotions which surround this issue.
Knowing Brother Yemi is a great patron of the arts and one of my favorite sociologists; I ask the real questions and Brother Yemi puts it on the table. He lets us pick it up, because we all own a part of it; regardless of what we think, we do. Even I had to stand corrected – and gladly so. this short pod is quite enlightening on the entire situation around Saggin.
Take a moment and listen to 5 minutes on why the future is walking around us everyday; and what we need to do to relate to it, now.
Tomorrow we’ll look at another segment of the festival program. complete with another short podcast segment from Brother Yemi – our cultural curator for this weekends International Black Man Film Festival.
(This is a current news item regarding saggin; and not a part of the festival)
Today On BadGal Says – TheSUSS we share our feelings on the boycott of R.Kelly’s shows in Atlanta and Philly. We Support The Boycott 100%
Honestly, we think it should have happened wayyyy back when the pissing happened. btw, Why Is He Still Performing and Not In Jail Anyway ?
We’re still pissed off with him, and will probably always be. He’s never had a good song about Loving Women. do you remember that “In The Closet” drama piece he put out right before he went to trial for his pissin problems ?
the drama was so thick people were waiting for each episode to come out, as though it was a major work by a serious composer or playwrite.
this man is a Pedophile – lets’ not Forget Aliyah who was 15 when he married her. YES 15 years old. so tell me, is he NOT a Pedophile when he’s been constantly linked to young girls in his freaky episodes ? that girl in the Pissing video is rumored to be 14 years old.
What the hell is he even doing in the room with a 14 year old girl alone ?
this man needs to spend alot of time ALONE IN A SIX BY SIX and Think about his relationship with WOMEN of All Ages. his wife divorced his sorry behind because of his problems with His Dick. she should know better than all of us what his problem is. she had kids with him and kept him away from them and her for most of their marriage. yesssss,,, they were seperated legally for more time than they were together; it was revealed at the divorce trial.
this is why we can support the boycott of this freak. this man has nothing good to offer to anyone.
he should learn from women what disrespect is. a woman should be allowed to prescribe his punishment and then women should get the honor of carrying it out.. unaided by any men
Quiet as it’s kept, I am sure that I could get into the cut, if they cast a net for those who are interested. I’d show up with a brand new mini gas powered chain saw, wearing my bronze martha stewart gardening boots. that’s probably enough said..

It’s Time To Take A Stand… Stand Up For Our Women and Let Our Daughters See That WE CARE…October 6, 2009
The organized showing of Unity as a People, and the actions of distrainment, disgust, and protest start now….Not JUST R Kelly, it is time to let the Music (Entertainment) Industry as a whole know we will no longer tolerate the disenfranchisement, degradation, and devaluing of Black women.
Let the protests, boycotts, and dialog begin! We must once again operate under a strict code of accountability and responsibility.We’ve allowed a stance of complacency to fester for far too long.Our elders and ancestors would not be proud!We have women and children to protect, and a great history and legacy to uphold.
“This demonstration will serve as a message to whomever, that if you are coming to or near Philly (or Atlanta), it’s not going to be unchallenged… We don’t care what the courts say; there is a price to pay to The Village.” —Empress Chi
We do extend the opportunity for R Kelly to convene with the Atlanta Village (extended family) to discuss the matter and set the table for accountability and reckoning
Forgiveness is always an option, but one must first SEEK atonement.
Join the Fight to End the Industry’s Abuse of Our Women & Girls…Help “Save Our Daughters”
BWDL has set forth efforts to very clearly, specifically identify and relentlessly “STEP TO” any of those in the music industry (man or woman alike) who have supported and perpetuated the exploitation of Afrikan women.The intent is to collectively convey who they are and take action.BWDL and all supporters intend to do that in EVERY WAY POSSIBLE.
The names of the top ten artists, record labels, companies, etc. that have made it a priority to create and push the industry’s stereotypic mind game and exploitive objectives, will be obtained by way of several polls conducted by the National MWM.These identifications will be released at
the May 2010 Summit.
MWM and BWDL will then begin the process and work to decrease the sales of these persons’ and/or companies’ concert tickets, CD’s, clothing line products and so forth.
As mentioned above, before taking actions MWM, BWDL and their supporting communities we will be prepared to sit down with anyone to discuss this matter in a Village (extended family) and/or business manner; however, we will also be prepared to handle it in whatever way necessary.
