Kanye West has officially been charged with criminal battery and attempted grand theft in connection with his July scuffle with a paparazzo at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
West charged at Daniel Ramos and seemed to wrestle with him over his camera. There were no punches thrown, but Ramos was taken to the hospital for injuries he supposedly suffered.
Ramos hired high powered attorney Gloria Allred. Last month the two held a news conference announcing they were suing West. Ramos said that he still has to use a cane as a result of the attack.
West will be arraigned October 10th. If convicted of both misdemeanors Kanye could face a maximum of 1 year in jail, according to TMZ.

Lamar Odom's life continues to spiral downward. The NBA player, who is married to Khloe Kardashian, was arrested this morning in California for "driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs"
Odom was stopped in San Fernando Valley for driving too slow on the 101 Freeway--- around 50 MPH. According to police, he was driving in a "serpentine manner."
The 33-year old Queens, New York native passed three exits before responding to commands to pull over. When he exited his white Mercedes, Odom showed obvious signs of intoxication. He subsequently failed all field sobriety tests.
Odom was arrested around 4 AM and taken to a nearby station, where he was booked, but refused chemical testing. He was released three and a half hours later after posting $15,000 bail.
This latest arrest follows a recent sting of strange behavior for Odom. It was reported recently that he went missing for 72 hours and is battling a crack cocaine addiction.
The player is currently a free agent. He played for the Los Angeles Clippers last season.
He is due back in Van Nuys Municipal Court on Sept. 27th, according to the L.A. Times.
**UPDATE** September 13th.
The Los Angeles City Attorney has officially charged Lamar Odom with driving under the influence, according to the L.A. Times.
He is scheduled to be arraigned Sept. 27.
Odom has hired former O.J. Simpson lawyer Robert Shapiro to represent him. Since Odom refused to take a chemical test at the police station he will lose his driving privileges for a year.
Because this is Odom's first offence he will most likely get probation and have to take an alcohol education course if convicted.

A$AP Mob leader A$AP Rocky won't get the chance to perform at a concert in Toronto next week because the student federation has pulled the plug.
Rocky was charged with assault after a woman claimed he slapped her while walking through the crowd at the Made In America Festival in Philadelphia two weeks ago.
Lisa Wade claims Rocky was walking through the crowd when he slapped "the hell out of" her for no reason. Lisa says she suffered bruising to her face and had to go to the hospital.
As a result Rocky's appearance scheduled for next Wednesday has been cancelled.
"The event cannot proceed until this matter is resolved." the school's student federation told TMZ.

Veteran emcee Lord Jamar of Brand Nubian weighs in on the DJ Mister Cee situation regarding his solicitation of sex from transsexuals.
"To me this really speaks to the sickness of mind," Jamar told Vlad TV. "This man had a lot to lose as far as his livelihood. I'm sure they told him, 'If you get caught doing this sh*t again you're outta here.' Why would you still do it unless it's like a sickness. Like an addiction. That's when you do things even though you know it can harm you and you still do it. That's the definition of addiction, or crazy, or some sort of mental illness. That's not Hip Hop."
Jamar was grateful to Mister Cee for always playing Brand Nubian's music, but said he couldn't give him a pass.
Kanye West didn't escape Jamar's wrath. In February he put out a diss song titled "Lift Your Skirt Up" aimed at Yeezy. During this latest interview he said that West is making a conscious decision to try and steer hip hop in that direction.

It's still hard to believe Tupac Shakur is gone. Millions of fans still mourn his death. Generally considered to be the best rapper to ever pick up a mic, he was in his prime when his life was cut short 17 years ago today.
Tupac was not just a rapper. He was also a poet, an actor and at times an activist. His role as Bishop in the movie Juice helped to catapult him towards superstar status.
He also appeared in the films Gang Related, Gridlock'd, Above the Rim and alongside Janet Jackson in Poetic Justice.
Tupac was a workaholic in the studio. When he died he left behind enough material for seven posthumous albums including the classic, The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, which he recorded in just seven days.
Other notable releases include the 9x platinum All Eyez On Me, Me Against the World, 2Pacalypse Now and Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z. To date Pac has sold over 75 million records worldwide.
Tupac was able to walk that fine line between being a gangster rapper and gentleman. He recorded songs uplifting women such as "Keep Your Head Up," as well as hard hitting tracks like "Hit 'Em Up" during his career. He rapped from the heart and listeners couldn't help but hang on every word.
Quite simply, he was a genius. The world misses you Tupac. May you rest in peace.

Pusha T is preparing to release his debut solo album, My Name Is My Name, on October 8th. He visited Hip Hop Nation recently to chop it up with DJ Envy about what fans can expect from the project, Lil Wayne and Jae Millz.
The Clipse emcee calls Wayne's Dedication 5 mixtape "trash." Push added that since Tha Carter II, Weezy has fallen off, although he's not sure if it has anything to do with drugs.
"I don't know [why Wayne fell off]. In being fair, I'm like 'Carter II' Wayne is mean. I wouldn't want to blame it on something like drugs or lack thereof drugs. I don't know. Because I don't want to just feel like people can fall from grace like that. But... trash," Pusha said.
Push goes on to talk about Kanye West executive producing his album, the G.O.O.D. Music CEO's arrogance being a good thing. his own clothing line, possibility of another Clipse album and more.

Gucci Mane is down to scrap anywhere. The mall or a club it makes no difference to Big Guwop. Here's a short clip of the "So Icey" rapper about to throw down at Lennox Mall in Atlanta, Georgia.
There's no telling what the beef was about. The fight was broken up before it could start. I would tell you to follow Gucci on Twitter, but that's been deleted. Peep the footage up top.
The commentary is pretty funny as well.

Gucci Mane is done ranting, at least on Twitter anyway. Just a few days of having a major meltdown on the social networking site when he claimed to have slept with Nicki Minaj, Blac Chyna and Ciara, the 1017 Brick Squad boss deleted.his account.
Gucci's brother, Young Throwback, claimed that Guwop's account had been hacked.
“Eh this gucci brother sum1 hack brah twitter. Yall tr y sabotage brah. Dat messed up let gucci b. GOD kno d truth. Hackers,” Young Throwback tweeted.
We may never know if that is true or not.
Gucci's departure will also end the online fighting that has been going on between him and other Brick Squad affiliates, including Waka Flocka, Wooh Da Kid and Frenchie.
Other celebrities have deleted their Twitter accounts in the past only to come back a few days later, so this could be temporary. We'll have to wait and see.

Next Monday, September 16, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s SMS Promotions and DiBella Entertainment (DBE) will host a special Monday night of boxing at the beautiful Resorts World Casino NYC in Jamaica, Queens. Titled “Big Apple Boxing”, the card is headlined by SMS-promoted junior lightweight Mark Davis (17-0, 5KO’s) looking to keep his undefeated record intact when he squares off against Newark’s upset-minded Carlos Vinan (10-10-5, 2KO’s) and DBE’s super bantamweight contender Luis “Orlandito” Del Valle (17-1, 12KO’s) facing Ira Terry (26-11, 16KO’s). Both bouts are scheduled for eight rounds.
50 Cent and Mark Davis
The remainder of the card features a slew of undefeated up-and-coming prospects from both the DBE and SMS stable, including former #1-rated US amateurs Shemuel “The Chosen One” Pagan (2-0, 1KO) and Christopher “Golden” Galeano (pro debut) both making their promotional debuts since signing exclusive co-promotional contracts with the two promoters last month. The five-time Golden Gloves champion Pagan takes on Calvin Smith (2-4) in a four-round junior welterweight matchup, while fellow NY Golden Gloves and National champion Galeano challenges David Rohn (1-0) in a four-round middleweight showdown.
50 Cent and Lou DiBella
Making his much-anticipated pro debut will be the newest member of the SMS-promoted stable and former amateur standout, Ryan Martin, as he takes on an opponent TBA in a four-round junior welterweight matchup. A national champion with an outstanding record of 180-22, Martin is one of the best amateurs ever to come out of the state of Tennessee.
Undefeated middleweight prospect Lamar Russ is looking to improve his record to a perfect 14-0, when he takes on the always-tough Latif Mundy (10-7, 4KO’s), from Philadelphia. Russ, who recently served as one of the lead sparring partners for middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin, is looking to crack into the middleweight world ratings in 2014, but he must first get by Mundy in their scheduled eight-round middleweight matchup.
Also on the card are DBE’s undefeated prospects and NY Golden Gloves champions, Travis Peterkin (8-0, 4KO’s) and Heather “The Heat” Hardy (6-0, 1KO). Both Brooklynites are scheduled to see action in separate six-round bouts. Light heavyweight Peterkin faces Michael Wilmer (4-6, 3KO’s) and junior featherweight Hardy takes on Jennifer Scott (3-4, 2KO’s). In just a little over a year, Hardy, who recently signed an exclusive promotional contract with DBE, has quickly become one of the most popular fighters throughout the entire NYC boxing scene.
Rounding out the card will be pro-debuting 2011 US Olympic Team Trials silver medalist, and the 2012 NY Golden Gloves heavyweight champion Joseph Williams squaring off against Joe Powers (1-1) in a four-round light heavyweight matchup. The Far Rockaway-native Williams got a late start to boxing, but has quickly progressed, and just missed out on the opportunity to represent the US in the 2012 Summer Olympic Games.
The card is promoted by SMS Promotions and DiBella Entertainment and sponsored by SMS Audio.
Tickets are currently on sale and are priced at $125, $85, $65 and $45. Tickets are available for purchase by calling Resorts World Casino NYC at (718) 215-2828 or by visiting: http://www.etix.com/ticket/online/venueSearch.jsp?venue_id=9244
