Maino recently chopped it up with DJ Smallz about having his voting rights restored after getting off of parole and his opinion on how President Obama has done during his 2 terms.
On Voting
Once I got off parole, basically you just have to register. A lot of people think that once you go to prison that just automatically [ends your chance to vote] and it doesn't. Different states have different laws about it. I know in New York state I was off parole, so I was good. By the time Obama was coming I was able to vote.
On Obama
For one, Congress fights him on everything, man. He's not able to do...It's like being in a car that's too tight and you can't fucking move. He wants to change certain things. And I think that we were giving him a lot of flack because it's like, 'Yo, you told us your were gonna change this--you told us you were gonna change that.' But you gotta understand the law. You gotta understand that it's steps to that. He may propose something and then it has to be voted in, in Congress. And they been fighting him from day one. I feel like not enough has changed. He wasn't able to do the things that I think he wanted to do.
How do you think Obama has done as POTUS?

(CNN) On Monday, Bill Cosby struck back against his accusers, filing an answer and counterclaims against the plaintiffs in court. For Cosby, the best defense may ultimately be a good offense.
Cosby's counterclaims consist of 1) defamation per se; 2) defamation; 3) tortious interference; and 4) intentional infliction of emotional distress.
From a legal standpoint, it's a good strategy—albeit a "scorched earth" policy. His defense will attack the credibility of witnesses against him, seeking to prove they have intentionally fabricated these allegations for monetary gain. That theory of defense parallels his new counterclaims against the plaintiffs: that they are intentionally fabricating these claims for monetary gain. There's not really a lot of risk here for Cosby, either. Or, another way of looking at it: it couldn't make things any worse.
Here's how strong each of these counts are, taken slightly out of order.
Counterclaim 2: Defamation
To establish a defamation claim under Massachusetts law, four elements are required: (1) that the defendant made a statement, concerning the plaintiff, to a third party"; (2) that the statement was defamatory such that it could damage the plaintiff's reputation in the community; (3) that the defendant was at fault in making the statement; and (4) that the statement either caused the plaintiff economic loss, or is actionable without proof of economic loss.
Counterclaim 1: Defamation per se
That last part of the last element is also known as "defamation per se", which is actually Counterclaim 1. As a general rule, defamation requires proof that a plaintiff actually suffered a measurable economic loss. Your Aunt Edna's nasty rant about you on Facebook may have made you cry, but it probably didn't actually cost you money.
Even if you think it did, you aren't likely to hire an expensive expert to prove it cost you money, either. That's why many people threaten defamation lawsuits, but few actually file them. However, some defamation is considered so mean-spirited, so destructive, that a plaintiff can recover even without proof of economic loss. In Massachusetts, examples of defamation that can fall under this category are: 1) libel; 2) accusations of crimes; 3) accusations that plaintiff has certain diseases; and 4) statements that may prejudice the plaintiff's profession or business.
Counterclaim 3: Tortious interference
In order to make out a case for tortious interference with prospective contractual relations, a plaintiff has to prove: (1) plaintiff had a business relationship or contemplated contract; (2) the defendant knew about the relationship; (3) the defendant interfered with it through improper motive or means; and (4) the plaintiff's loss of advantage directly resulted from the defendant's conduct.
This might be more difficult for Cosby to prove. He probably had many then-existing and prospective deals in the entertainment business. However, he will have to prove that the accusers were specifically aware of these contracts, and that they acted intending to interfere with those contracts.
If Cosby losing these contracts was an unintended or unforeseeable consequence of the accusations, then this will be a difficult claim on which to prevail. Indeed, the accusers might counter that they had no economic incentive to interfere with his contracts—if anything, the more Cosby works...the more money is available to satisfy numerous judgments if his accusers were to win their lawsuits.
Counterclaim 4: Intentional infliction of emotional distress
Candidly speaking, in the world of lawsuits, Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress, or "IIED" as it's called, is often just an afterthought; an add-on to a complaint. It always sounds great as a claim—who isn't emotionally distressed on some level by the person they have sued? Practically, however, it's not usually the strongest cause of action in a complaint, which is why it usually brings up the rear in the list of claims against a defendant.
To sustain a claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress, a plaintiff must show (1) that the defendant intended to cause, or should have known that his conduct would cause, emotional distress; (2) that the defendant's conduct was extreme and outrageous; (3) that the defendant's conduct caused the plaintiff's distress; and (4) that the plaintiff suffered severe distress.
The reason this is a tough one to win is because of the "extreme and outrageous" conduct standard. Courts have made clear that mere insults, indignities, threats, annoyances, petty oppressions, or other trivialities do not qualify.
Instead, "extreme and outrageous" is only where the conduct has been so outrageous in character, and so extreme in degree, as to go beyond all possible bounds of decency, and to be regarded as atrocious, and utterly intolerable in a civilized community. So in other words, it has to be really, really bad. Most conduct does not meet this high (or low, depending on how you view it) standard.
The best defense...a good offense?
Defamation cases are hard to win, but Cosby's defamation counterclaims in this case are his strongest.
Cosby's defense to these lawsuits is closely tied to his defamation counterclaims. Both will require him to show that his accusers are lying. While not as strong, this defense theory is also consistent with his other counterclaims. If Cosby is somehow able to prove that any accusers lied, he will still have to show that those deliberate fabrications and other conduct were intended to ruin his business relationships and cause him emotional distress.
As for his chances of prevailing? At first blush, it might seem hopeless for Cosby to actually sue his accusers. But consider this: The vast majority—if not all—of the evidence against him will be testimonial. Witness memory is notoriously fragile—and that's true even if it hasn't been eroded by the passage of decades. Also, witness credibility will be a factor, too.
Effective cross-examination can wilt the credibility of even seasoned, professional witnesses in front of a jury. If Cosby's lawyers are able to exploit inconsistencies and discredit memories of the accusers on cross examination, then he could, theoretically, pull off the improbable and turn this case around on the plaintiffs.

We've all been there before. An argument with a friend turns physical. Afterwards, all is good again. While we're not sure if that's what happened between TDE label mates, Kendrick Lamar and Schoolboy Q, there was definitely a disagreement of some kind in the studio recently.
On Monday, December 14, a Twitter user hit up Top Dawg Entertainment CEO, Anthony Tiffith, saying he heard the two rappers were involved in a scuffle. Surprisingly, Tiffith responded by confirming that something did happen, although it was not serious.
