Akon Embellishing His Criminal Past?

Jury selection was completed at R.Kelly’s child pornography trial Thursday amid contentious exchanges between prosecutors and defense attorneys, who accused each other of trying to stack the panel along racial lines.

The jury consists of eight whites and four blacks. The four alternates are two blacks, one Hispanic and one white. Defense attorneys objected several times as prosecutors used challenges to have blacks dismissed from the jury pool.

Do you think race plays an issue when it comes to jury selection? I would be more concerned about gender and what kind of experiences the woman selected have been through with men.

Why He’s Hot
No album, no single, only two guest appearances - Andre did even less this year than he did in 2007. There’s not even a handful of verses to judge him on. Should the Hip-Hop Brain Trust members be found guilty of treason for giving Andre a slot in the top 10 despite minimum output?

Absolutely not.

Tres Stacks has illustrated natural bravura over brainless bravado, dropping judiciously dope couplets laced with gentlemanly swagger that brew to a crescendo and shed every note in their way.

For me to give her a handcuff key, that’s ridiculous. They put in the papers [that] I was trying to help her escape and all that. If that was true, I would have been arrested. It was just an excuse for them to do some of the foul things they did.

“Everybody knows if it was a felony, I would have been arrested,” he added.

Remy Ma’s Reaction

Thoughts on what both sides had to say?

The NYPost is reporting that Lil Kim has been awarded $500,000 in a lawsuit against her former friend Lil Cease and his company. The judge ruled they must  pay up for releasing an unauthorized DVD featuring Lil Kim. Does Lil Cease even have the kind of money?

One day, I was looking at a bunch of ants. We’ve got a lot in common — just like everything that’s alive, everything that eats and breathes and builds and creates. There’s a connection to even the smallest thing. So I looked at it as the whole world, instead of looking at us as beauty. Inside poverty, inside the street, inside the ghettos and the gutters and the slums, we aren’t looked at as beauty out there. We were looked at as the worst pest, and because of that, because of that treatment, some of us started to believe we were a pest, started to believe what we were told, and started to act like it, and started to reproduce my people, bring kids in the world that were f—ed up in the head.

Remy Ma’s wedding plans are up in the air. But a judge has made definite plans for the Grammy-nominated rapper: eight years in prison for shooting a woman outside a Manhattan nightclub.

The state Supreme Court sentence was handed Tuesday to the 26-year-old rapper, whose real name is Remy Smith, for assault, weapon possession and attempted coercion.

Eight years is a long ass time, she better hope for a successful appeal. Papoose was in the court screaming, “All you want is money,” to the victim and telling officers lock him up. So people out there with guns, don’t think you can just pop people and think it’s all good.
