To say Freddie "Gangsta" Gibbs' departure from the CTE camp wasn't amicable would be an understatement. According to Gibbs, he left the label in December 2012 because he and Jeezy didn't see eye to eye on more than a few things.

 

By that time Gibbs already had his own ESGN label place. In June 2013 he released ESGN the album.

Gibbs has continued to throw shots at The Snowman over the last few months. In June he told XXL that Jeezy wasn't a man of his word.

 

Anything he tells you, it’s going to be fake. I am going to give you the real. He gonna give you the sugarcoated version. That’s the difference between me and him. He gonna give you the sugarcoated sh*t, I am going to give you the real. At first, when that whole split happened, I was being political about it. I was thinking, ‘Man, I don’t want to f*ck up my relationship.’ But f*ck that sh*t, my n*gga. I’m feeding the whole city. That n*gga don’t do sh*t for me. I am going to point a n*gga out when he bogus and he was bogus for not owing up to his business relationship and doing what he was supposed to do business-wise.

In a new interview with HipHopDX, Gibbs said he was a better rapper than his former boss and was ready to show it.

 

Jeezy, he can’t rap better than me, That’s why the n*gga was afraid. He wasn’t ready to be in boss mode. He still wanted to be in rapper mode. He’s like a n*gga in the NBA that’s about to retire and [is] on his last leg, while a young nigga like me is just killing n*ggas. I’m like Paul George on these n*ggas right now. He’s on his last leg so I’ma go ahead and kick the n*gga in the grave while he’s standing on the edge.

 

Things should heat up over the next several months as Gibbs releases the Madlib produced project, Cocaine Pinata and ESGN 2.

Manny Pacquiao might owe the largest amounts of income tax between two countries in history.

 

TMZ reports that the Filipino boxer owes the U.S. Internal Revenue Service $18,313,668.79. The government alleges Pacquiao failed to pay his taxes from 2006-2010.

Here's the breakdown:

2006 -- $1,160,324.30
2007 -- $2,035,992.50
2008 -- $2,862,437.11
2009 -- $8,022,915.87
2010 -- $4,231,999.01


That's just the beginning of Pacquiao's financial disater. The Associated Press reports that the Bureau of Internal Revenue in Pacquiao's home country of the Philippines says he failed to pay his taxes in 2008-2009.


The amount he owes there is a staggering 2.2 billion pesos ($50 million) in back taxes.

12350495077?profile=original

 

Rumors have followed Pacquiao for years alleging he spends his money freely and has to continue fighting to survive, but how he got into this nightmarish tax situation should be looked into. Does he have financial advisers? It's a question that needs to be answered.

 

The Philippine government has placed a lien on one of Pacquiao's most expensive properties in Manilla and have frozen his bank accounts, and those of his wife.

Pacquiao claims that there is a treaty that prevents double taxation and has asked that his bank accounts be unfrozen.

''I appeal to them to remove the garnishment so that I can move and pay for my staff's salaries,'' Pacquiao told reporters in his southern hometown of General Santos city. ''I am not a criminal or a thief.''

 

He also disputes the amount owed to the United States. He believes that if that were true he would have been arrested during one of his many trips to the country.

Jay then performed "Forever Young."

Video After The Jump

 

50 Cent sat down with XXL during  the release of his new SMS Audio headphones at Henri Bendell in New York City.

The conversation covered a wide range of topics from Kanye West's fashion clothing ambitions to Kendrick Lamar.

12350502693?profile=original

 

On SMS Audio

SMS for me is an extension of my passion for music. For me music is the gateway to everything, to opening up possibilities for me. I look at money like it's freedom. It gives you the ability to invest in your own choices and your own ideas.

 

On music's influence on pop culture

There's a shift in the way the actual audience is thinking. They're into high end clothing. They're wearing European cut clothing. As clothes got tighter they started buying designer clothing. They don't realize how much influence Hip Hop culture has. Because when we say it's cool, it's really cool. That's when the needle moves. Look as the major car companies. Look at Ferrari, Bentley, Rolls Royce, Lamborghini. Those car companies, when's the last time you saw a commercial from them? They don't have to if they're in our music videos and we're not sending them a bill for it.

 

On Kanye West's fashion industry ambitions

When you enter new areas you're going to meet resistance. And you have to be willing to work through those barriers. In Kanye's case, wanting to be a part of high end fashion. That's a process. It's not something that just happens. They don't allow you to just pick up and say, 'This idea, that idea, and I'm in.'

 

On his upcoming projects

They'll see my Animal Ambition project first. It's something I just came up with that I was inspired to write it. I've been writing that and it will be out before the Street King Immortal project. I'll release it as a solid piece. I'll have music videos for every song. But I'll wait until they start to choose which records they like. I wouldn't call it a mixtape because it's album quality material. It's structured like an album more than mixtape material. This tape is all original. The only thing I can compare it do that I've done is War Angel.

 

On Kendrick Lamar

I love Kendrick. There's a huge difference in the two of us, in our characters and the way we present ourselves. He possesses the ability to appear like he didn't know this was gonna happen. There's a level of confidence that's required for you to withstand the doubt. I had so much doubt prior to it actually working for me that I would appear at points a little arrogant like, 'I knew it was gonna work. It took you so long to figure it out. I told you I was hot.' And Kendrick will give you that awkward enrgy that's like, 'This is great, this is really happening.' Every time I'm around him that's what it feels like.

Video After The Jump

 

There was a lot of jokes and snickering among established sports agents when Jay Z announced that he would be representing athletes with his new Roc Nation Sports company. Jay doesn't have a degree in business and certainly had never brokered a deal between any team and a star player, but he's quieted his critics.

 

RNS' first big signing was Robinson Cano, who at the time was playing for the New York Yankees.

 

12350500090?profile=original

 

Cano took a huge leap of faith by firing longtime sports agent Scott Boras and counted on RNS to get him a big contract when he would become a free agent at the end of the season.

 

12350500294?profile=original

Scott Boras

 

Lou Merloni, a former major league player-turned-Boston talk show host, called Cano an "idiot" for leaving Boras for Jay's Roc Nation Sports, according to ESPN.

 

Cano hardly looks like an idiot now after signing a 10-year, $240 million deal with the Seattle Mariners last week. It's the third largest free agent contract in baseball history.

 

Baseball's most valuable contracts

 

Player Total value Year signed
Alex Rodriguez $275 million 2008
Alex Rodriguez $252 million 2001
(tie) Robinson Cano $240 million 2014
(tie) Albert Pujols $240 million 2012
Joey Votto $225 million 2014
Prince Fielder $214 million 2012
Derek Jeter $189 million 2001
Joe Mauer $184 million 2011
(tie) Mark Teixeira $180 million 2009
(tie) Justin Verlander $180 million 2013
Source: Baseballprospectus.com

 

"The perception is that it's all Jay Z's victory," Florida sports lawyer Darren Heitner, told CNBC. "This deal takes Cano until he's 41 years old, meaning players still have leverage," Heitner said. "I thought 10-year deals were dead. Though there's a $70 million discount off that $310 figure (that Cano wanted), it's a fantastic agreement. Ripped by the media, the deal now lets Jay Z be perceived as the able negotiator."


12350501056?profile=original

 

 

The deal did have one major hurdle to overcome. The Mariners initially offered Cano a 9-year deal worth $225 million. At the last minute Jay insisted they add a tenth year to the contract. Mariners executives reportedly broke off talks at that point, before eventually agreeing to Jay's terms.

 

12350500894?profile=original

 

The Yankees tried to retain Cano, but in the end the Mariners deal was too big to match.

 

“He was a great Yankee. He was a great player. I think everybody tried hard to get the deal done. We just never got close enough obviously. We wish him the best. We hope he has a long, healthy career,” Yankees managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner said Friday. “We’re going to keep going. We’re still looking at all the same guys that we were looking at a week ago or two ago. We’re going to continue to improve. We’re not done spending.”

 

Other sports agents can only wonder how Jay pulled it off.

A viral video is circulating around the internet that reportedly shows Doughboyz Cashout member HBK getting jumped, robbed of his chain and knocked out.

 

The incident allegedly happened in HBK's hometown of Detroit at the Cobo Hall convention center, according to Kollege Kidd.

 

12350482056?profile=original

 

Doughboyz Cashout signed a deal with Young Jeezy's label, CTE World, in May.

 

12350482280?profile=original

 

We'll update the story as more information becomes available.








 

*UPDATE* December 9th

 

Detroit police are on high alert fearing retaliation from the HBK beating. Rappers Icewear Vezzo and Greenguy Webbie are rumored to have been involved and posted photos wearing HBK's chain. Both have denied having possession of the jewelry.

Despite the denials, there's rumors of a $30,000 bounty on Webbie's head.

 

"There's a potential for a lot of bullets to go flying, and we're talking a large group of people here that are making threats," Sgt. Michael Woody of the Detroit Police Department, told MyFoxDetroit. "Right now we're just trying to save a life right here. That's really what we're looking at. Obviously we don't want to see anybody do anything rash. We're asking both sides to stay calm, give us a chance to work this out. This is really not worth anybody's life at this point. There's no reason to overreact here, we can still work this out."

 
12350484069?profile=originalHBK

HBK has responded in a video released Monday (December 9) by Control Detroit. He acknowledged it is him getting beaten in the video and said it comes with the territory.
 
"To make a long story short, we planned to go to [Cobo Hall]... just me and three other n*ggas," HBK told Control. "N*gga went to that b*tch 4 deep, walking around with our jewelry on like some regular n*ggas who ain't got no deal. Some bullsh*t happened in the midst of that. Sh*t happens to the best of them. I got jumped by probably 20 n*ggas. But the sh*t really ain't sh*t though man. That shit happens everyday in Detroit. We don't have security. I been in deeper sh*t. I done been in the hood for so f*cking long. N*gga I done got in shootouts and almost got killed. This sh*t just a small fry. Everybody takes a loss. Everybody takes their L's."

The rap game is dangerous business. According to Kanye West, it ranks right up there with our American soldiers putting their lives on the line in war or the men and women in blue who protect our city streets.

 

West was giving an interview to Saturday Night Online over the weekend when he made the comments.

 

12350507895?profile=original

 

"I'm giving my body on the stage and putting my life at risk," Kanye said. "I think about when I'm on the 'Can't Tell Me Nothing/Coldest Winter' moment. That mountain goes really, really high. And if I slip you never know. And I think about my family like, 'Wow, this is like being a police officer, or like war.' You literally going out to do your job every day knowing something could happen. Something can happen to you verbally from the press bashing you. Something can happen to you from people not like you anymore, or you can actually slip on that stage. But it's like we walking this tight rope and fighting for creativity, and fighting for ideas, and fighting for thought."
