Busta Rhymes Assault Trial Set For January
Mon Sep 22,12:00 AM ET

LAUNCH Radio Networks

Rapper and actor Busta Rhymes was in Fall River, Massachusetts on Thursday (September 18) to attend a pre-trial hearing for his upcoming assault trial, according to the Associated Press. The rapper was hit with misdemeanor assault and battery charges by a fan, Celine Giguere, following an altercation which occurred last December 7 at Jake's Twin Saloons in Fall River.



Giguere told police that Busta Rhymes grabbed and shoved her against a table after she touched him on the chin following an impromptu performance. The rapper then allegedly threatened her, "If you ever touch me again, I will f--king kill you!"


Police declined to press charges but Giguere is pressing charges against the rapper. She was in turn also hit with misdemeanor assault and battery charges after testifying on April 29 in Fall River District Court that she also touched the rapper during the incident.


Separate trials have been set for January 22 by a district court judge. If found guilty, either party could face up to a year in prison.


Following the pre-trial hearing Busta Rhymes told the media, "I was just so sexy to that young lady. She just had to get me to do something to come back."

She sounds like she may have been following him, first at the concert then the Saloon???:confused:

4-1-1 ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 15TH, 2003

Last week was not a good one for rapper 50 Cent. Gunfire erupted outside a Jersey City hotel while he was checking in. Nine shells were found at the scene and now police want to talk to the rapper and his entourage to find out what was going on. 50 Cent is also profiled in the new edition of the Source magazine. The magazine says 50 Cent is nothing more than a media savvy "gangsta" wannabe. The Source claims 50 Cent stole his name from an 80's era rapper from Brooklyn who was killed. 50's previous name was "Boo-Boo." 50 brags about serving a 3-9 year jail term, but he only spent seven months in a boot camp where he scrubbed floors with a toothbrush. 50 brags how he was shot nine times and he survived, and his critics say that is all he brags about. 50 has been known to dis his mentors Dr. Dre, Eminem and Jay Z, who invited him on his tour. 50 has had one incredible year and right now he is the hottest rapper out, and he's dating one of finest women in Hollywood, Vivica A. Fox. How long will it all last for 50 Cent?

Lisa also never saw Michael without his make up on. The book also claims Michael was driven to plastic surgery by his abusive father. He didn't want to look like his dad. Michael also refused to move in with "Screen Goddess" Elizabeth Taylor because he feared he would have to have sex with her. They also talked about marriage. After ten operations on his nose, his nose collapsed and he now wears a prosthetic nose tip and disguises it with thick stage makeup. The author also talked to Michael sister, Rebbie. Rebbie says her brother was traumatized by an encounter with two prostitutes. Years ago a family member arranged for a meeting between Michael and two prostitutes. The three of them were locked in a room together but nothing happened because all Michael wanted to do was talk. In other Michael news he's got a new song coming out that R. Kelly produced.

Jay-Z Announces Farewell Performance
 

Jay-Z Announces Farewell Performance

By Luis Perez
Staff Writer
Posted September 24 2003, 2:28 PM EDT

First comes the Jay-Z concert. Then the album will follow, then the sneaker, then the book.

Just say "Black." Got it?

Jay-Z said as much yesterday in announcing his farewell performance at Madison Square Garden Nov. 25.

The event will trail what organizers billed as Jay-Z's "triple threat" of releases.

Jay-Z's final solo release, "The Black Album," the tenth album for the Roc-A-Fella rapper, and sneaker - the black version of his Reebok sneaker, "S. Carter" - hit stores on - you guessed it - "black" Friday, Nov. 28.

The Brooklyn-born rapper's autobiography, "The Black Book," debuts in early 2004.

"It's magical," said Jay-Z at a news conference in the Garden yesterday, flanked by Russell Simmons and Benjamin Chavis of the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network.

"I consider this my victory lap," said Jay-Z, who also said his retirement will mean a smaller presence within Hip-Hop - just singles. "We're calling this 'From "Marcy to Madison Square.' "

The book will unveil "just my process" going from Brooklyn's Marcy projects to his 1996 debut, said the rapper.

Simmons and Chavis said all proceeds of the concert, which follows Jay-Z's "Hard Knock Life" and "Rock the Mic" tours this summer, will go to the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network and the Shawn Carter Scholarship Fund, which serves high school students.

Simmons, founder of the Hip Hop Summit, said the centerpiece of the event will be voter registration. Organizers also said the concert will be peaceful - dispelling notions that rap is a vehicle of violence.

Asked by a Norwegian journalist to comment on the "so-called rap war," Simmons responded:

"Our war that the rappers are fighting is ignorance and poverty. . . That's probably the most important war."

Jay-Z predicted films in his future - as an actor, director, producer and writer - but offered no details.

Asked about other performers at the Nov. 25 concert, Jay-Z said: "It's surprise guest stars."

Added Simmons: "We're gonna fill the Garden."http://www.nynewsday.com/media/photo...09/9538327.jpg

I thought his last album was his last album. He and Ja Rule are going to keep suckering people into buy their albums and making people think that they are their last. DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!!

Re: Jay-Z Announces Farewell Performance
 

10th? He's had 9 other albums? :confused: :confused:

Re: Re: Jay-Z Announces Farewell Performance
 

I think it depends on what you count-

1. Reasonabel Doubt
2. Vol 1- In my lifetime
3. Vol 2 - Hard Knock Life
4. Vol 3 - Life and TImes of Shawn Carter
5. The Blueprint
6. The Blueprint 2- the Gift and the Curse
7. MTV Unplugged
8. Best of Both Worlds
9. Dynasty Roc La Familia

The last three I think are "special" to be counted but probably are.

Re: Re: Re: Jay-Z Announces Farewell Performance
 

That's right Kimmie. The Dynasty album was supposed to be all Roc-a-Fella artists but at the last minute Jay decided that it should be his solo album. That's why there are so many group songs, except Give It 2 Me, which I LOVE!! :D I don't believe that it's his last CD either.

Musiq To Drop Soulstar In December
 

Fittingly, the Philadelphia studio that R&B singer Musiq has been holed up in for the past few months working on his third LP, Soulstar, is named Home Cookin.' It seems the singer is always aiming to make tunes that leave you feeling fulfilled, as though you'd just eaten a hearty meal.

According to his label spokesperson, Musiq has set a release date of December 2 for his album and is almost ready to unveil his first single to the world, an uptempo number entitled "Forthenight." The idiosyncratic crooner stuck to the usual ingredients for his musical buffet, working with his writing partner Carvin Haggins and Ivan Barias, who produced most of his first two albums.

Besides the single, Musiq covered the Rolling Stones' "Miss You" and is offering up other cuts on the album like "Romancipation," "Love Me" and "Who Knows." Currently there are no guest stars on Soulstar playing major roles, but Musiq's rep said fellow R&B singer Kenny Lattimore laid background vocals for one song.

The singer is currently finalizing a treatment for the "Forthenight" video.

Re: Re: Re: Jay-Z Announces Farewell Performance
 

Hey Soror Kimmie (Glad I finally met ya. I heard ya'll won the step show!!) you forgot one CD. Blueprint 2.1 and I'm not sure if he is counting the Best of Both Worlds, since it never really made it to the stores..due to Rrra Kelly

Re: Re: Re: Re: Jay-Z Announces Farewell Performance
 

Also, Reasonable Doubt was re-released. So, who knows?

Re: Musiq To Drop Soulstar In December
 

One of the local radio stations played his new single yesterday, I only caught the tail end of it, so I'm not really sure what it sounds like.

HIJACK
It was good meeting you, too! And yes, we did take 1st in that show! We took second the next weekend in another area show!
END HIJACK

I thought Best of Both Worlds was released just with little fan fare as the Rra scandal jumped off around the same time.
I would add the Blueprint 2.1 to the list of CD's I don't really count as it is a condensed version of the Blueprint 2 with some of the tracks off the Blueprnt 2 appearing, others being cut out and 2 additional tracks. It would be in the same category as the unplugged CD (songs that have already been released) just not a live version. IMO, he had 6 solo joints and 4 "other".

Re: NYC FAshion Show
 

They're still together? :mad:

Ok, I'm putting down my glass of Haterade! :o :D

FYI...
 

apparently another network wants to discuss "Whitless" aka Whitney Houston and her troubles, shall we say. tonight, check out DATELINE, 9pm EST (check local listings), where Hoda Kotbe will talk about the singer and her...behavior.

Trick Daddy Arrested For Drug Possession
 

Rapper Trick Daddy was arrested near Miami on Wednesday for felony cocaine-possession and misdemeanor marijuana-possession charges. The charges are the latest in a growing list of transgressions for the Southern rapper — an issue that might complicate matters in a previous arrest.

Trick Daddy, whose real name is Maurice Young, and a friend were drinking cognac and being unruly in the stands of a high school football game Wednesday night in Homestead, Florida, prompting several parents to complain to the police. The two were being escorted out of the high school stadium when police officers discovered the drugs on Trick Daddy's possession, the Miami-Dade County State Attorney's Office said. Trick Daddy was placed in county jail until a bond hearing Friday (September 26).

The rapper's situation is complicated by the fact he was already out on bond for another felony incident last February. The MC allegedly pulled out a gun on 27-year-old Pernell Paige during a confrontation after a pickup basketball game. For that, he faces charges of aggravated assault with a firearm, use of firearm in commission of a felony and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He was out on bond on those charges until he goes to trial, which is scheduled for October 14. The latest drug offense could cause a judge to revoke the previous bond issue, thus landing Trick Daddy in jail until his court dates on both sets of charges.
