M.O.P. Sues WWE Wrestler John Cena.


Excuse the cheesy pun, but M.O.P. and WWE superstar John Cena are getting to rumble in court. Lil' Fame and Billy Danze are claiming that Cena's song, "The Time Is Now," borrows from their hit "Ante Up." Yes, I'm just as shocked as you that a wrestler has a rap song. In a federal lawsuit, they claim WWE's lawyers actually found some person to sign off on the license who was just a lowly receptionist and didn't actually have authority to do so. See, I always knew the WWE was fake.

This must be the first time a rapper ever sued somebody else for copyright infringement, it's usually hip-hop on the end of this shit stick. The big issues comes down to one non-English line -- "BRRR Abado -- that appears in the the beginning of the M.O.P. song, and in Cena's song three times. The lawsuit asks for destruction of Cena's song and $150K from the defendants. Time for Cena to Ante Up. Sorry, last pun.

Cypress HIll Being Sued.


Recent VH1 Hip Hop Honorees, Cypress Hill, are being sued by soul singer Syl Johnson, claiming that Cypress illegal used a sample from his song, "Is It Because I'm Black." That's the name of the song, not the reason they stole it. Syl is suing the stoned trio for $25 million dollars for using the sample in their song "Lock Down."

I'm guessing B.Real & Co. was too high to remember to pay the royalties. I'm sure it wasn't done intentionally.

Do you think Johnson has a case? Listen for yourself...

Cypress Hill - "Lock Down"


Syl Johnson - "Is It Because I'm Black"

4 out of 5 Dentists Recommend Lil Wayne Stays Home.


Lil Wayne is in trouble again after missing a court date...because of his pearly whites. Evidently, all that syrup he's sipping is rotting his teeth because Weezy had an emergency dental work procedure in which he had numerous root canal surgeries - prompting his dentist to urge him not to travel. And because he couldn't travel he couldn't go to Arizona for his scheduled court appearance. I hope he got a doctor's note.

He was supposed to appear in a Yuma County (Arizona) court, facing a few charges here and there, including:

(1) possession of a narcotic drug for sale.
(2) possession of dangerous drugs.
(3) misconduct involving weapons.
(4) possession of drug paraphernalia.
(5) transportation and/or sale of a narcotic drug.
(6) transportation and/or sale of a dangerous drug.
(7) damn.

50 Cent Sues His Baby Momma For Defamation.


Fitty Cent and his ex, Shaniqua Tompkins, are headed back to court again as the drama between the two continues to roar. I swear, this dude sees more court than the Harlem Globetrotters.

After a fire burned down 50 Cent's Long Island home where the rapper's ex, Shaniqua Tompkins, and his 11-year-old son Marquise lived (the same house he was trying to kick them out of), Tompkins made claims that 50 was responsible for the blaze.

"He tried to kill me and his own child," stated Tompkins. "I know this came from 50 Cent."

Well, Fif didn't like that very much so he's suing her for defamation of character. Come on, Curtis, you're a rapper. You defame your own character. This is the same cat who starts beef with every rapper in the industry; including, but not limited to Game, Young Buck, Ja-Rule, Fat Joe, Cam' Ron, T.I., Kanye...the list continues to grow. Looks like he can't take his own medicine.

R. Kelly Found Not Guilty?


I wasn't going to post this, because there's nothing really to say except for the fact that our Justice System has more flaws than Craig Mack's complexion.

But After seven and a half hours of deliberation over the course of less than two days, the jury in R. Kelly's child-pornography trial reached a decision: not guilty on all counts. The 41-year-old singer, whose real name is Robert Kelly, long denied charges that he videotaped himself engaging in a variety of sex acts with his then-underage goddaughter.

'Robert has said all along that he believes in the system,' Kelly's spokesman says.


Only in America.

So why was he found not guilty after he was ID's by several people as being the man in the video who had sex with a 13 year old and then urinated on her?

Here's why:
