Video After The Jump
Don't know where this video was found, but it's rare indeed.
We see a young Tupac Shakur in the studio recording an unreleased Digital Underground track.
Next, Pac is on the set of Juice, in a trailer about the size of a bathroom, smoking weed and kicking it with Omar Epps.
Good times indeed...

Add Birdman, Drake and Diddy to Lil Kim's growing list of targets as she puts in work on Nicki Minaj.
The Queen Bee linked up with Ryan Cameron of Atlanta radio station V-103 and addressed all drama.
During the interview Kim clarified why she is beefing with Nicki and why Baby and Puffy are also in the line of fire.
RC: What was the straw that broke the camel's back? When was it you decided I've got to do something about this whole thing?
Kim: It was when she did an interview with [Hot 97's] Angie Martinez and the Roman's Revenge record definitely. It was time to cut all the buffoonery.
RC: You came out with the Black Friday [mixtape] 113,000 on Paypal. We called Paypal, people were saying it couldn't be done, but they said you can only do 1 particular transaction for $10,000, but you can have as many other transactions as you want. They were trying to dispute whether or not you even sold that many.
Kim: The haters are always gonna be there. I mean come on haters get on your job, we need you. It's a blessing and I just thank God that I have some amazing fans. They're the ones that's keeping me pushing.
RC: What would you say to fans that feel like you didn't need to stoop to that level and make a diss record?
Kim: Here's the deal - I have fans all over the world. Sometimes you gotta give the fans what they want. It may be a handful of people that feel this way or that way, but this is hip hop and thisis what it is. Plus this is how I really felt. If this wasn't how I really felt I don't think I'd be doing myself any justice,
RC: Did you ever pick up the phone and try to reach out to her people before you made these records?
Kim: Nah it was too far gone at that point. When something like this happens you don't go around trying to figure out what happened, you gotta handle your business 1st, that's just me. Baby tried to reach out a 100 times, Puffy tried to reach out. But I feel like both of them were a big major part of the problem so there was really nothing to talk about.
RC: Did you feel like it was disrespectful for Puffy to even get in on that given yall's history?
Kim: I feel it was very disrespectful because me knowing Puffy, being with Puffy for so long. I remember plent of times when I might have said something that might have been offensive about somebody. If this was back in the day Puffy would not let any of those records go out. As a matter of fact he would tell me, "no, no ,no you gotta change that", especially if it was somebody he had a relationship with, or he was getting money with, he wouldn't let that ride like that.
That's why it bothered me. He's sitting there saying "Oh she's mad because I'm working with another female." I mean, come on, how preposterous is that? How many females has he worked with that I was cool with or didn't have a problem with. It didn't make any sense to me.
RC: So after the Angie Martinez interview and Roman's Revenge recors there was no talking after that?
Kim: Right and for those that don't know, Because a lot of people look at the situation like "kim what is the problem, what happened?" Well here's the situation, here's how it all got started. I used to be really good friends with Slim [Birdman's brother] from Cash Money. Me and Slim were actually somewhat partners. At one point he put me in the studio, I was gonna do some type of partnership with him. Cause I always looked at Cash Money like they was one of the few that got the game. When I say got the game, I mean knew how to sell records. Me and Slim because friends for 4 years, we used to record out in Miami and he was going to help me get to the next level in my career.
Baby sent this song to me called "Grinding making money" and I loved it. I sent it back to em and I already had a feeling they were gonna wanna put homegirl [Nicki] on the record I kind of felt like me being over there is what they kid of accepted me so easily. I kind of felt like they wanted some type of help with homegirl and I didn't mind that because I felt like I already seen the direction they were going with her. So I said maybe if I come over there she'll stop throwing these shots that she be throwing. Because before i came over there I already seen the shots she used to be throwing on the low. But I didn't really pay that no attention because I feel like a lot of girls are misguided when they come in the industry. They always feel like whoever is on top, that's who I gotta go after.and that is not the way to do it. Coming in the game, do you.
They put the song out and I got a better response and I never heard back from them. They swagger jacked me for her.
Listen to the rest of the interview as Kim breaks down the back office politics that led to the drama. What her future holds and what it's like being her own boss.
And find out why she labels Drake as a "weak pink person."

When school teacher Solona Islam got caught in a financial bind she turned to the world's oldest profession, hoping it could bail her out. Instead she lost her dream job as a teacher and needed to be bailed out of jail after being arrested for prostitution.
"I was scared more than anything else because I was thinking of my son. If I do go to jail, what am I supposed to do?" she said.
According to Islam she went on a date through an escort service. When she was offered more money to have sex, she said yes. The guy turned out to be an undercover cop.
She says credit card debt and the cost of caring for her 18-month old son caused her to make a bad decision.
"I can't even describe what I've been thinking the whole week, just pure pain," she says.
Islam was an algebra teacher at McClellan High School, the same school she had graduated from as valedictorian.
She pleaded guilty to the prostitution charge and paid the $640 fine, then waited to hear what school official would say when they found out. She also felt like she let her students down. adding, "I just love everything about my job, and love my students more than anything else in the world."
After the Little Rock, Arkansas school placed her on paid leave, Islam decided to resign.
"They can only see Ms Islam the teacher, not Solona the person," she said.
Armed with a masters degree and on her was to getting a Ph.D, Islam hopes to put this all behind her.

This is an incredible play.
The catch and dunk by Las Angeles Clippers player Blake Griffin is dope, but it's the bounce pass by Washington Wizards' rookie guard John Wall that is just ridiculous.

You wouldn't like 20-year old Sean Thorpe when he's drunk and angry as several men found out the hard way.
Thorpe from the U.K. town of Mildenhall has been sentenced to 23 months in jail for brutally beating up four men in two seperate assaults, one of which was caught on CCTV.
In the attack that was caught on tape, the hulking Thorpe can be seen punking the hell out of 3 men by himself.
Sean Thorpe
Jason Brown, Trevor Woollard and Mark Jones were attacked for no apparent reason as they walked home in Mildenhall. Thorpe is seen pushing, punching and kicking them. At one point he picks Brown up and drops him on his head causing a gash.
Thorpe's lawyer said his client couldn't control his temper when he was drinking.
Thorpe had also beaten up a man several months prior in a similar incident.
Madness....

The idea of supergroups is generally better than the execution. While Slaughterhouse has done a great job of making it work, we're still waiting like dope fiends for product from The Four Horsemen (Canibus, Ras Kass, Kurupt & Killah Priest) as well as CRS (Kanye West, Pharell Williams & Lupe Fiasco).
With that being said, I have high hopes for the latest supergroup to emerge, Pulled Over By Cops. Consisting of Freddie "Gangster" Gibbs, The Cool Kids, Chip Tha Ripper and Bun B.
All are continuing work on their own careers while participating in the group. Bun will only participate sporadically according to Fakeshoredrive. While the Blended Babies will handle the bulk of the production duties.
Check out theur new track "Authority" below featuring Nate Santos on the hook.
