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."

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.
In what turned out to be a very exciting fight, Bernard Hopkins became the oldest boxer to win a legitimate title by beating Jean Pascal last night in Montreal.
He broke the record previously held by George Foreman, who won a heavyweight belt at age 45.
The 46-year old "Executioner" fought like a man half his age, as he outsmarted and outworked his 28-year old opponent.
B-Hop used every trick in the books to successfully get inside the head of Pascal, who seemed to become frustrated by Hopkins tactics.
Hopkins taunted Pascal by talking trash, sticking out his tongue and even doing push ups in the middle of the ring.
In the end though, it was Hopkins boxing skills that won the fight. He consistently beat Pascal to the punch. Using his jab to set up overhand rights that he seemed to land at will.
Although both fighters were hit by some very hard shots, neither was officially knocked down. Pascal should have been called for two knockdowns though. His gloves touched the canvas twice following punches by Hopkins, which should have automatically been ruled as knockdowns, but the referee failed to properly rule them that way.
The fight was a rematch of their December 2010 bout that ended in a controversial draw decision. Most thought Hopkins won that battle.
Leading up to the 2nd fight there was a lot of bad blood and trash talking between the two fighters. At one point Pascal accused Hopkins of using steroids, but those accusations only fueled Hopkins fire.
“I didn't feel like I was 46 tonight, I felt more like 36,” Hopkins said after the fight. “I can say I'm a great fighter, it was exciting, I think everybody enjoyed themselves.”
Hopkins took home the WBC, IBO and The Ring Magazine titles with the victory and cemented his legacy as one of the greatest fighters in middleweight history.
Next up for B-Hop will be a match against Chad Dawson, who fought and won on the undercard.
Congratulations are in order for singer Keyshia Cole and Daniel Gibson, who got hitched yesterday (May 21) in Las Vegas.
Gibson, a point guard for the Cleveland Cavaliers tweeted the good news and several pics of the happy couple as they were about to board a helicopter and take a skyline tour of the city.
"It's OFFICIAL!!!!! #Done & #TrulyBlessed.. Mr. & Mrs. Gibson. We appreciate all the Well Wishes!" he wrote.
Back in February Cole told US Magazine she was really looking forward to getting married to Gibson.
"I really want to have a perfect wedding: with horses and a real waterfall," she said. "I was thinking about Bora Bora or somewhere where we just take all of our people with us on one big American Airline plane or something I just want to be alone on an island somewhere in front of a waterfall with horse and carriages -- all white and gold."

Roy Jones Jr. suffered his third consecutive, and most brutal loss today in Moscow, Russia at the hands of Denis Lebedev.
The once former great boxer was knocked out in the 10th round of a non title fight.
Jones was leaning against the ropes when Lebedev caught him with an overhand right, followed by two right uppercuts. At that point Jones was out on his feet, leaning forward, but the referee didn't step in as he should have and Lebedev then hit him with another hard punch that sent the former world champion crashing face first to the canvas.
After several tense minutes with Jones lying motionless on the ground he was able to make it to his feet.
Jones was gracious in defeat, giving the Russian credit for landing a great punch.
"It was a great shot, I can't take nothing away from him, he was a tough competitor," Jones said.
Most expect Jones to retire, but he said he wasn't sure if he would.
"I really don't know what I'm going to do now," he said. "I'm going to think about it."
At this point in his career there really is nothing left for the 43-year old Jones to fight for. He doesn't have the skills he used to and should get out of the game while he still has his health.
As we previously reported, Philadelphia rapper Cassidy was arrested last Saturday (May 14) for probation violation and suspicion of murder.
Cas has since been released from custody and during an interview with Cosmic Kev yesterday (May 20), Cas attempted to clear up the rumors surrounding the situation.
"I'm still on probation from the situation that I dealt with about 6-7 years ago. Yall all know when I was down for the murder and two attempted murders before," Cass said. "I beat the murder and the 2 attempts, but I got involuntary manslaughter and two aggravated assaults. So for the aggravated assaults I'm still on probation. It's like a real light probation -- I go see my p.o. every so often, but they changed my p.o.," he explained. "The contact wasn't the same when they switched my p.o. I'm running around the world like a regular person, so it slipped my mind, so they put out a warrant for me. I had a warrant in Philadelphia, I was staying in New Jersey. When you stay in New Jersey and got a warrant from another state they put out a fugitive charge on you." he said.
Cass explained that his probation officer wrote murder on the warrant because that was the charge his probation revolved around. By the time the media got wind of it, they blew everything out of proportion. At no time was he actually wanted for murder.
"I just murder beats, murder tracks... I aint murdered nobody." Cassidy said.
Peep the rest of the interview and freestyle below.

Warner Bros just released the first official picture of actor Tom Hardy in his role of Bane from the upcoming Batman movie 'The Dark Knight Rises.'
The picture shows a menacing looking Bane wearing his trademark mask.
No official plot has leaked for the third installment of the 'Dark Knight' series, but we have a clearer picture of what actors will star alongside Christian Bale, who plays Batman in the movie.
Anne Hathaway, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Tom Hardy and Gary Oldman already had confirmed roles. Now Ace Showbiz is reporting that Mathew Modine, Tom Conti and Joey King have been added to the cast as well.
The Christopher Nolan directed flick is already in production and is expected in theaters July 20, 2012.
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.
Is Romeo Miller trading in younger women for a cougar? And at what age does a woman stop being a cougar and just become old?
Fellow Dancing With The Stars contestants Kirstie Alley and Master P's 21-year old son were snapped swapping spit on the set of the show yesterday.
Kirstie later tweeted it was all a big joke for the paparazzi, and that it was Romeo's idea. But given her love for black men (she's been chasing Jamie Foxx around forever), you can see how the pics might have been looked at as something different initially.
Kirstie has surprised a lot of people with her impressive showing this season on DWTS. She and partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy have made it into the top three and will dance in Monday night's final episode.
Romeo and partner Chelsie Hightower were eliminated a couple of weeks ago.

In an upcoming special issue XXL will take on the tough task of ranking the top 250 rap songs of the 90's.
Dr Dre's "Nothin' But A G Thang" which featured Snoop Dogg takes the # 1 spot. Diddy's "All About The Benjamins" remix with it's all star line up of Notorious B.I.G., The Lox and Lil Kim come in at # 2.
Other songs that made the list according to MTV include 2Pac's "California Love" (# 7), Pete Rock and CL Smooth’s “They Reminisce Over You” (# 10), Ice Cube’s “No Vaseline” (# 58), and Scarface's "I Never Seen A Man Die" (# 99).
The criteria used to rank the songs is not known, but it will be interesting to see where songs like Mobb Deep's "Shook Ones Part II" (which should have made the cut), rank up against more radio friendly songs like MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This" (which did make the list at # 115).
The one thing we can all agree on is that there are bound to be a lot of disagreements among fans regarding the rankings.
We'll find out May 24 when the issue hits newsstands.
