Sh*t just got real.
For the last year or so Mobb Deep affiliate 40 Glocc has been embroiled in a war of words with a rapper named Menace from BWS. Things finally came to a head last night in Los Angeles when the two ended up at the same event.
Menace had requested the two fight a fair one, but as the footage will show that's not what happened.
Although the video is dark and hard to make out in some spots, you can clearly see 40 being jumped by a bunch of bloods. Since when does a fair one mean all your homies jump in with you?
After the melee 40 took to his twitter account to talk about what happened. He also posted a couple of pics of himself showing he had no marks on his face.
"LOOK AT ME AFTER 30 WEENIES JUMP ME LOL TELL THEM TO TAKE A PC THIS CLOSE!! THAT WASN'T NO MENISHA FIGHT THAT WAS 30 B*TCHES ON 1 CRIP..LOL! N*GGAZ AINT BUILT FOR N*GGAZ OF MY BREED u can't get this juice cuz!" 40 wrote. "I GET DOWN WHERE I GET MAD AT..ni*ga REQUESTED THAT HEAD UP..LOL I GAVE IT & 30 N*GGAZ JUMP IN & I WAS SOLO!..I EXPECT THAT THEY'LL REGRET THAT."
Pic of 40 Glocc taken right after he was jumped.
Meanwhile Menace was on twitter bragging that he busted 40 up, which is clearly not true based on the pictures and video.
Take a look at the video below and weigh in with your opinions.
Today marks what would been the 39th birthday for a man who is arguably the best rapper of all time.
Christoper Wallace was known by many stage names: The Notorious B.I.G., Big Poppa, Biggie Smalls and The Black Frank White. Only 24 at the time of his untimely death, he recorded two classic albums, "Ready To Die" and "Life After Death", and outshined anyone he ever collaborated with.
Without Biggie there would be no Lil Kim or Lil Cease. Both of whom were introduced to the world via Biggie's group Junior M.A.F.I.A.
His unique delivery, voice and wordplay are still unmatched to this day.
So let's drink a toast today to Biggie and celebrate his legacy.

Locked in an ugly war of words with Gabriel Aubry, the father of her 2-year old daughter Nahla, Halle Berry is making it known that her daughter is black despite what anyone else may think.
Amid reports by TMZ that Gabriel, who is French Canadian, "goes nuts" anytime it's said his daughter is anything other than white, Berry gave Ebony Magazine an interview clarifying her beliefs.
"I feel like she's black, I'm black and I'm her mother, and I believe in the one-drop theory," Berry said,
The one-drop theory is a belief by some that anyone with African ancestry is black.
According to Pew Research, 1 out of 7 marriages in 2010 was either interracial or interethnic, citing these statistics:
*A record 14.6% of all new marriages in the United States in 2008 were between spouses of a different race or ethnicity from one another. This includes marriages between a Hispanic and non-Hispanic (Hispanics are an ethnic group, not a race) as well as marriages between spouses of different races -- be they white, black, Asian, American Indian or those who identify as being of multiple races or "some other" race
*Among all newlyweds in 2008, 9% of whites, 16% of blacks, 26% of Hispanics and 31% ofAsians married someone whose race or ethnicity was different from their own
Berry, whose mother is white says when her daughter is old enough she will have to make that decision for herself
"If you're of multiple races, you have a different challenge, a unique challenge of embracing all of who you are but still finding a way to identify yourself, and I think that's often hard for us to do," she said.
Is the one-drop theory an outdated way to classify a race of people?

Lil Kim and her new crew I.R.S. descended upon Brooklyn for the video shoot to her Nicki Minaj diss "Black Friday."
Director Picture Perfect said they would also possibly be shooting for "Clap Clap", a new joint by the Queen Bee.
It will be interesting to see if Nicki decides to engage in this battle. Her debut album 'Pink Friday' was just certified platinum, so she may feel like an all out beef with Kim could slow her momentum.
Fans are tired of subliminal disses though, like the darts Nicki threw at Kim in "Roman's Revenge." We want to hear rappers name names.
Let's see who really is on top of the game for female rappers. We know Lil Kim is ready for beef anytime, anywhere... is Nicki?

Brazil wants to become the mecca for live entertainment and it's shelling out lots of money to prove it.
UK singer Amy Winehouse just performed the 1st of 5 scheduled shows in the South American country, where she is being paid more than $6 million dollars according to the UK Sun.
"Amy will be rolling in it. Brazil is keen to establish itself as a major player in live music and is attracting a host of top stars," a source tells the publication. "A lot of money is being thrown around to secure their services and it's working."
Winehouse hasn't released an album since 2006's 'Back to Black.' A disc that won her 5 Grammys and has sold 10 million copies worldwide.
It's a testament to her tremendous talent that she's still being paid big paper to perform live.
The singer was reportedly paid $1.3 million to play a show in Russia just before Christmas, and has big money gigs lined up in Dubai as part of Gulf Bike Week.
Amy's performance last night at the Il Divino venue in Florianopolis was part of Brazil's Summer Soul Festival.
Next she plays two headlining shows at the Arena HSBC in Rio De Janeiro Rio, followed by gigs in Recife and Sao Paulo.
Hopefully all these shows mean we'll be getting Amy's much delayed third solo album. It's rumored to be coming out later this year.

Kendrick Lamar is a name you should get familiar with because you will be hearing a lot from him in the upcoming months.
Ashley Outrageous caught up with the West Coast rhyme spitter recently. Due to scheduling conflicts (she’s on the East Coast), the two had to chop it up via iChat.
As a lot of you probably have heard, Dr Dre mentioned recently that he really wanted to work with Kendrick. Soon after a picture surfaced of the two of them in the studio. What you had not heard or read until now, is confirmation of what they actually worked on together.
“We’re basically just trying to finish up this Detox album, putting the last finishing touches on that. It’s a privilege and honor for him to even bring me out on the last end. Because I know for a fact that I’m on the back end of the last touches of the album, it should be a go,” Kendrick said.
Now that the “Kush” single and video have been released, we’re closer to getting the ‘Detox’ album than ever. So you know Dre sees something special in Kendrick.
Others are taking notice of him as well.
The Compton rapper just wrapped up recording sessions with Roc Nation’s J. Cole.
“That’s a good dude, he reached out and I’ve always been a fan of his music. We got in the studio and made some magic happen. All I can tell you is that it might be more than one or two songs,” Kendrick said, hinting at a possible mixtape or EP with Cole.
One thing Kendrick made clear during the interview is that he is not a typical rapper. Despite living in an area known for a lot of gang activity, he’s never been in a gang himself, and he doesn’t smoke the sticky icky.
“My whole thing is I don’t want to base my stuff on a stereotype, or typical L.A. artist based around the gang culture. That’s something we’re all familiar with, but there’s other elements and the way [certain] people were raised was different.,” he said “There’s so much negative energy around Compton, California, you don’t ever see no positive light. So when I do my music and people hear that it’s somewhat of a positive light, they embrace it.”
Check the rest of the interview out below as Kendrick talks about possibly becoming a part of XXL’s 2011 Freshman class and his group Black Hippy.
