Legendary music manager Jerry Heller recently caught up with Prez and Mac Jay for an episode of the Murder Master Music Show, where he continued his conversation about the NWA biopic, "Straight Outta Compton." Heller explained how famed directors Allen and Albert Hughes were part of the Ruthless family before making such films as "Menace II Society" and "Dead Presidents."
Jerry also reflected on some dark times while he was running the label, including him home being broken into on July 4, 1990, and his red Corvette being stolen. He also revealed that one of the mirrors in his home had "payback's a motherf*cker," signaling to him that Suge Knight may have been involved in the incident.
Nearly a week after his disastrous interview with Joe Budden, Taxstone is still heated. When M. Reck of ForbezDVD caught up with him recently he had messages for Joe and his fans.
"I wanna say fuck all of Joe Budden's fans too," Tax said. "All y'all can suck my dick. Yall nigga's is dickheads, y'all bozo's."
The Tax Season podcast host was angry because fans attacked him on social media, saying Joe showed superior intellect.
"That ain't too intellectual. That's dangerous, nigga," Tax continued. "That's what that is. That's highly stupid to be playing like that with a nigga. That ain't smart. How y'all think that's smart? 'He's so smart, he outwitted.' Listen, you could call that shit whatever you wanna call it. He could have been in the hospital. He shouldn't be out and if that's called smart, then shit, nigga you better wear a vest."
This all started because Joe refused to answer a question about his latest album because Tax didn't know it had been released two weeks earlier.

We haven't heard much from D12 since Shady Records dropped Shady XV last year, but fear not - the Devil's Night mixtape is out now. In our latest interview, Bizarre, Swifty McVay and Kuniva assure us and their fans their latest project "is just a reintroduction of what's to come."
McVay calls Devil's Night "a homage mixtape," as it is for the fans who've supported them since they dropped their debut album by the same name in 2001. Though many are anxious to hear the guys together again, Kuniva made it clear that "Em[inem] didn't make this project at all." "We could've waited for him to go ahead and do it, but we wanted to really just let people know that we are also emcees too and we can handle ourselves," he explained. "We know how to do this sh!t and we need to reinvent ourselves - everybody knows who Em is..."
Watch below as they talk about what we can expect on Devil's Night.
CAIRO (AP) — A Russian aircraft carrying more than 220 people crashed Saturday in a remote mountainous region in the Sinai Peninsula more than 20 minutes after takeoff from a Red Sea resort popular with Russian tourists, Egypt's Ministry of Civil Aviation said.
It is not immediately known whether there are any survivors among the 217 passengers and seven crew members but an Egyptian government spokesman said 50 ambulances were headed to the crash site to offer medical care if needed.
Adel Mahgoub, chairman of the state company that runs Egypt's civilian airports, said all passengers and crew were Russian citizens.
A ministry statement said Egyptian military search and rescue teams found the wreckage of the passenger jet in the Hassana area south of the city of el-Arish, an area in northern Sinai where Egyptian security forces are fighting a burgeoning Islamic militant insurgency led by a local affiliate of the extremist Islamic State group.
It said the plane, believed to be an Airbus model, took off from Sharm el-Sheikh shortly before 6 a.m. for St. Petersburg in Russia and disappeared from radar screens 23 minutes after takeoff. The reported time lapse between takeoff and loss of contact with the aircraft means that the plane was possibly flying at a cruising altitude of some 30,000 feet when it crashed.
Militants in northern Sinai have not to date shot down commercial airliners or fighter-jets. There have been persistent media reports that they have acquired Russian shoulder-fired, anti-aircraft missiles. But these types of missiles can only be effective against low-flying aircraft or helicopters. In January 2014, Sinai-based militants claimed to have shot down a military helicopter; Egyptian officials at the time acknowledged the helicopter had crashed, but gave no reason.
Civil Aviation Minister Hossam Kamal said an investigative team has arrived at the crash site to examine the debris and locate the flight's recorders, or the "black box."
Separately, Russia's Investigative Committee, the country's top investigative body, has opened an investigation into the crash, according to a statement issued Saturday by committee spokesman Sergei Markin.
Earlier in the day, an Egyptian official with the government's Aviation Incidents Committee told local media that the plane had briefly lost contact but was now safely in Turkish airspace.
Later, the same official, Ayman al-Muqadem, said the plane has crashed and that the pilot, before losing contact, had radioed that the aircraft was experiencing technical problems and that he intended to try and land at the nearest airport. The aircraft crashed at a site near the el-Arish airport, he said.
It was not immediately possible to independently confirm that technical problems caused the plane to crash.
Mahgoub said the aircraft had successfully undergone technical checks while at Sharm el-Sheikh's airport. A technical committee from the company was headed to Sharm el-Sheikh to collect security camera footage of the plane while it sat at the airport, including operations to supply it with fuel and passenger meals as well security checks, he said.
Roughly three million Russian tourists, or nearly a third of all visitors in 2014, come to Egypt every year, mostly to Red Sea resorts in Sinai or in mainland Egypt.
"It is too premature to detect the impact this will have on tourism. We need to know what happened first," Tourism Ministry spokeswoman Rasha Azazi told The Associated Press.

Former Ruthless Records co-founder, Jerry Heller, doesn't like the way he was depicted in the N.W.A. biopic, Straight Outta Compton.
He's brought out the legal guns and is suing just about everyone associated with the film, including NBC Universal, Ice Cube, the estate of Eazy E, Dr. Dre and others to the tune of $110 million for defamation, according to TMZ.
Jason Mitchell (left) as Eazy E and Paul Giamatti as Jerry Heller in the film Straight Outta Compton.
Heller says he never gave permission for his likeness to be used in the film. He also claims the scene in the movie where Suge Knight strong arms Eazy E into signing over Dr. Dre's contract to Death Row Records was stolen from his book.
He further alleges that his portrayal in the movie as the "bad guy" and "a sleazy manager who took advantage of Eazy-E, Dr. Dre and Ice Cube" was damaging and false.
Other lies in the movie according to Heller were:
-- He withheld a $75k check from Ice Cube
-- He fraudulently induced Dre and Cube to sign unfavorable contracts
-- He enjoyed lobster brunches while the contracts were being signed
-- He was fired by Eazy-E
In addition to the $110 million, Heller, is asking for a percentage of the movie's profits
Last week Khloe Kardashian called off her divorce to Lamar Odom and put her relationship with Houston Rockets basketball player James Harden on "hold."
The assumption at the time was that she had decided to try to work things out with her estranged husband, whose hospital bedside she had been at during his health crisis.
That "hold" on Khloe's relationship with Harden didn't last long. It's being widely reported that the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star flew from L.A. to Houston watch him play on Wednesday, October 28th, from a suite at the Toyota Center.
Where that leaves Odom is anybody's guess at this point. The good news for the former NBA player is that his health is rapidly improving and he will not need a kidney transplant, although he still faces months of physical rehabilitation.
Ca$his is back with a new single titled "New Whip." This one features Joe Moses, K Young and Sulle J. It's off of Ca$his forthcoming Art Imitates Life project.
Metta World Peace began his professional basketball career with the Chicago Bulls after being drafted to the NBA in 1999. We watched the Queensbridge, New York native change his name (twice) as he traveled the world to play in different leagues, and though he plans to continue doing so, Los Angeles has proven to be where his heart resides.
It wasn't easy for Metta - formerly known as Ron Artest & The Panda's Friend - to get back into the U.S. league after his stints in China and Italy. Though a veteran in the game, he had to work just as hard as the rookies. "I was fighting my way to get back in," he tells us. "It was hard to get back in the NBA. I had no options. The Lakers was like, my only option."
Watch on as Metta World Peace speaks on his eccentric name changes, compares Snoop Dogg to a panda, and talks about his professional and personal relationships with Lakers' teammate, Kobe Bryant.
