Jerry Heller Claims That Eazy-E Wanted To Kill Suge Knight.

/ No Comments
According to Ruthless Records co-founder Jerry Heller, Eazy-E wanted to kill Suge Knight.

Heller recently revealed this in a radio interview, claiming that Eazy wanted to kill Knight and that he feels he "should have let him" do it.

In an interview with Prezident Bejda of The Murder Master Music Show, Heller explained how this conversation took place.

"Eazy said, 'You know this guy Suge Knight?' I said, 'Yeah.' He says, 'Well, I'm gonna kill him!' He said, 'This guy is gonna be a problem and I think I should kill him.' I said, 'Let me think this thing through. First of all, we're doing $10 million a month with six employees. We don't even have a typewriter in the office. We're the most successful start-up record company in the history of the music business and you want to kill this guy? That just doesn't make any sense to me.'"

Heller then explained that he regrets talking Eazy out of it.

"You know something? I should have let him kill him. You know? I would have done the world a favor. He would have done it for sure by himself. He always rolled by himself and he was fearless...I think that he was going to go do it. I took him seriously."

"He was right and I was wrong," he later added. "I shouldn't have talked him out of it. Ruthless would probably still be around. Dr. Dre and Ice Cube would probably still be with Ruthless. It would have been an empire." 

Heller co-founded Ruthless Records with Eazy-E and managed N.W.A. but was later dissed by former members Ice Cube and Dr. Dre. Eazy's daughter, E.B. Wright, is now working on a documentary about her father's life. Her doc will feature interviews with Eazy's friends and colleagues. Another documentary, Ruthless Memories, is also being worked on. That film will feature an interview with Jerry Heller.

Dame Dash Is Deep In Debt & Possibly Facing Eviction

/ No Comments
Dame Dash is broke. The Hip-Hop mogul and founder of Roc-A-Fella Records is in dire financial straights under a heaping amount of personal debt.

Long rumored to be in a financial hole, the New York Daily News detailed the Harlem native's money troubles, and they are probably worse than most imagined.

    “I am currently several months behind in paying my personal bills,” he wrote Tuesday in the 5-page filing. “For instance, I am currently over $100,000 behind in rent for the only home in which I live and at risk of being evicted.”
Dash lost a pair of multimillion-dollar Tribeca lofts to foreclosure in 2010, with $7.3 million left on the massive mortgages.

He was platinum-selling Jay-Z's partner in Roc-A-Fella Records and the Rocawear clothing line, and once boasted in a magazine interview that he ruled a $50 million empire.

In a recent interview with the Combat Jack Show, Dash admitted that he wasn't balling like in his Roc-A-Fella days but assured listeners that he was relatively financial stable. He even mentioned making plenty of low keys moves with projects like his DD172 art gallery and a motor oil, for example, that theoretically kept him comfortable. However, the New York Daily News reports a way different story.

In a sworn statement asking a judge not to garnish his wages, Dash disclosed:

- He pays $24,000 every three months to his ex-wife, fashion designer Rachel Roy, for child support of their two kids, and to cover money owed on the lofts.

- New York state forces Dash to send another $4,341.10 per month for support of his son, Christian.

 - He paid nearly $20,000 in garnished wages in late 2012 for other debts.

 - And he faces a pending $40,000 tax payment for business earnings.

Nevertheless, Dash insists he is in this situation as a result of fighting legal battles that come with being an independent business man.

/ No Comments
Brussels, The Underground Hip-Hop artist BLD aka Big Lion Dream was arrested this afternoon while he accompanied a female artist to a African film festival in Saint-Catherine.

According to the police officer, The artist didn't respect the no entry zone.

A area where all car drivers should respect the road sign.and the artist had no guide with him. 

But thats wasn't the case according to the artist.

They were driving on an road that had a déviation so they had to follow the other cars that were taking the same road for deviation.

Then all of a sudden the Police appeared and stopped their car.

One of the male police officer came to treated the femnale artist on board like monkey which made the case more exicted.

Why would a police officer treat a black woman like a monkey?
Isn't that a racist case?

Because when analysing this, the artist wasn't the only one driving on that road.
Why didn't the police stop the other cars that were taking the same deviation ?
Why only stopping BLD in his car  ?

Did the police officer stopped them because there were black people in the car?
There's  a lot to investigate in this case.

More coming soon.

Kriss Kross rapper Chris Kelly found dead

/ No Comments
Chris Kelly, one half of the 90s rap duo Kris Kross, has died in Atlanta.
 Fox 5 news said he had been found unconscious in his home.

Investigator Betty Honey of the Fulton County Medical Examiner's office said Kelly, 34, was pronounced dead around 5pm local time at the Atlanta Medical Center.

Ms Honey said authorities are unsure of Kelly's cause of death and that an autopsy has yet to be performed.

But Cpl. Kay Lester of the Fulton County police said "it appears it may have been a possible drug overdose."

Kelly, known as "Mac Daddy" performed alongside Chris Smith, known as "Daddy Mac," in the early and mid-90s.
The rappers were discovered by producer Jermaine Dupri while they were singing in an Atlanta mall.

By far their most successful song was "Jump" from the 1992 debut album "Totally Krossed out". They were also known for their unique style of dress, which involved wearing their clothes backwards.

Thanks to the instant fame that came with the smash hit, the pair toured with Michael Jackson, but were never able to match the success of "Jump".

Earlier this year the duo reunited to perform at a celebration of the anniversary of Dupri's record label So So Def.
