35-year-old Hosea Thomas is accused of killing Philant Johnson in May of 2006.
The incident apparently started with a fight at a Roselawn club where T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, performed. The fight spilled onto I-75.

Prosecutors say Thomas and his brother, Padron Thomas, started shooting at the van in which T.I. and his entourage were riding. When the gun battle ended at the Seymour Avenue exit, Johnson was dead and four others in the vehicle were hurt. T.I. was not hit.

I got a feeling some people will bring up, “snitchin,” but this has nothing to do with snitchin. T.I. references what took place that night on his latest album, unfortunate for a life to be lost over some minor club beef.

Kanye West-”Two Words”

Kanye is dropping what might be his most provocative musical work, in what might be one of his darkest personal periods. All while society is in one of the most politically, economically, and socially-charged times in recent history.

Is 808s and Heartbreak Kanye’s official “Declaration of Independence?” Or is it a living testimony of his personal anguish?

Is this new found sound still Hip-Hop? And can the Hip-Hop community handle this “New Wave Hip-Hop?”

Plies was called the future of hip hop by some entity recently right?

“This n- [Kanye ] was like, ‘Wow. [Jay-Z] ain’t going to give me the chain,’” Dash alleges in December’s Complex magazine. “I had to take off my chain and give it to him, and I was heated. I had the real canary diamonds. That s- cost $40,000! I told Kanye, ‘Yo, you got to give that back when we get off this stage!’”

Dash contends that after Jay-Z violated the code of hip-hop chivalry, “Kanye hated Jay-Z.”

But a rep for Kanye tells us the story is “ridiculous and totally false.”

Anyone buying this story? Is this just a attempt to get some buzz? The fact that it took so long for him to mention it is suspect but even Kanye mad it clear his big brother wasn’t too big on him back in the days. I can’t blame Dame for being bitter about Kanye leaving him for Jay-Z, but talking about this stuff now is pointless.

“Get Up,” didn’t blow(Not in Billboard’s Top 50) so its time to work on something to have that, “I Got Money,” effect. Any artist whose first single doesn’t become a hit is going to have their album pushed back most likely. 50’s tv show will keep him in the public spotlight. I’m sure he has big tracks on the way to get a big buzz, probably a song with Eminem.

The song cookie jar didn’t blow up like i thought it would. Are you feeling this single?

Below is what Ye says about his latest arrest.  This is directly from his blog where he also apologizes for his “frontin” on Jared Leto. What are your thoughts about Kanye’s ongoing war against the paparazzi?

WHO’S WINNING, ME OR THE MEDIA?

REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH LIGHT I PUT OUT, THERE ARE PEOPLE WORKING JUST AS HARD TO ONLY DELIVER DARKNESS. IF YOU LISTEN TO MY MUSIC, HOW COULD I DELIVER SO MANY POSITIVE UPLIFTING MESSAGES AND BE THE MONSTER THAT THE MEDIA PAINTS. PAPARAZZI GIVE REAL PHOTOGRAPHERS A BAD NAME.  A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS, THEIRS ARE WORTH A THOUSAND DOLLARS…
