Boosie Badazz has been speaking out about corruption within police departments for years in his music.
The killings of black men at the hands of cops, including the recent deaths of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Philando Castile in St. Paul, Minnesota, make the Louisiana rapper's words look prophetic.
Add to that last week's murders of five Dallas police officers by black gunman, Micah Johnson, and the outlook for peace between cops and citizens in urban communities doesn't look good right now.
"I don't think it's gonna get better at all," Boosie told TMZ. "Really, there will never be peace because you got too many lives that have been taken. So. it will never be peace. All you can do is try to fuse the situation. It'll never be peace because it's too far gone. Police are killing people. My kids are not even allowed to get play guns. I don't get them that shit. They might be in the streets with a play gun ... police come around the corner and shoot 'em," he added. "That's just how it's going down. I think what will slow police down is if they start getting convicted. Getting life sentences, double life sentences like we get if we kill somebody."

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Brock Lesnar returned from a 4 1/2-year UFC absence with a unanimous-decision victory over Mark Hunt, and Nunes took the bantamweight title from Miesha Tate with a stunning first-round stoppage at UFC 200 on Saturday night.

Jose Aldo also won a competitive decision over Frankie Edgar to claim the interim featherweight title on the UFC's star-studded landmark show.

Daniel Cormier dominated a decision over Anderson Silva, who took the fight on two days' notice after Jon Jones was dropped from the main event for failing a drug test.
While Brazil's Nunes shocked Tate in the main event, the hulking Lesnar (6-3) was the greatest curiosity on the card. The pro wrestler earned his first mixed martial arts victory since July 2010, dominating Hunt with wrestling skill and sheer mass.

"I'm older, and when I decided to make this comeback, it was a hard decision," the 39-year-old Lesnar said. "I'm glad I did. This goes to show for everybody out there, if you don't stick your neck out, you'll never get ahead."
UFC 200 capped three fight cards over three days for the world's dominant MMA promotion, which used a golden canvas for its first event in T-Mobile Arena, the spacious new entertainment venue just off the Las Vegas Strip.
The UFC stacked the card with compelling matchups, and while every fight wasn't a classic, the underdog Nunes' victory was a stunner.

"Everybody knows that I respect Miesha a lot, (but) I'm the new champion," said Nunes, also the first openly gay champion in UFC history. "For years I've been working hard for this moment. I feel amazing."

Nunes (14-4) became the fourth different fighter to hold the UFC's 135-pound belt in the last eight months since Ronda Rousey lost it to Holly Holm. Holm lost the belt to Tate in March, but Nunes dominated Tate (18-6) from the start, stunning her with multiple big shots.
Tate was bloodied and unsteady by the time Nunes sunk in a rear naked choke and ended it 3:16 into the first round.
"When I saw she was hurt, I controlled myself, because I know she can come back," Nunes said. "I made sure she couldn't come back anymore."
Lesnar made a UFC-record $2.5 million guaranteed purse for his first bout since late 2011, returning to the sport where he won and lost the heavyweight title during a meteoric MMA career. Although he walked away after consecutive losses and serious health problems, he couldn't stop thinking about a return while racking up easier money in the WWE.
The main-event star of UFC 100 seized the opportunity to be on another landmark show, and his performance showed that his inimitable athleticism hadn't diminished. Lesnar never wandered into trouble against the famously heavy-handed Hunt, repeatedly taking down his veteran opponent and keeping him pinned to the canvas.
"I wanted to finish the fight, but the guy's got a coconut head," Lesnar said. "My ground-and-pound, I'm sure he's going to feel it tomorrow, just as I'm going to feel his punch tomorrow."
Lesnar dominated the final three minutes, punishing a prone Hunt with his cartoon-sized fists. All three judges scored the bout 29-27 for Lesnar, who sounded tentatively interested in another MMA bout — after he performs for the WWE this summer.
"It's really too soon, and I have no idea (about continuing in the UFC)," said Lesnar, who turns 39 on Tuesday. "I believe any man can do whatever he wants to if he puts his mind to it. I've been out of this game for five years, and I trained for six weeks. ... I think I'm top 10. That puts me right back in the game."
The 41-year-old Silva (33-8) stepped up to fight the UFC's light heavyweight champ after Jones was ruled out Wednesday night. Although Silva is 45 months removed from his last victory — and seven weeks removed from gallbladder surgery — he gamely took a shot at Cormier, who was denied a lucrative, career-defining rematch with the troubled Jones.
Cormier (18-1) had little trouble with one of his heroes, largely keeping Silva pinned to the canvas on his back. Silva goaded Cormier into a few striking exchanges, and he even hurt Cormier slightly in the final minute, but the champ won 30-26 on all three cards.
"I appreciate the UFC for getting me this fight," said Cormier, who still made half of the guaranteed $1 million he would have earned against Jones.
Aldo put on a masterclass in his return, cutting Edgar in the first round and tormenting him for four more rounds. Aldo reclaimed one version of the belt he held until his 13-second knockout loss to Conor McGregor in December — and he's also likely to get the lucrative next shot at McGregor whenever the 145-pound champion finally returns to their division following his second bout with Nate Diaz next month.
The Irish star stood amid the floor crowd at cageside when the fight began. Afterward, Aldo put on his belt and immediately made threatening gestures at McGregor, who shouted back at his most bitter rival.
"I have one goal left, and that's to beat this guy," Aldo said.
The pay-per-view card opened with former heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez brutally stopping Travis Browne in the first round of a bout that could have headlined many other UFC cards.
The oft-injured Velasquez (14-2) had fought just once since October 2013, losing his belt to Fabricio Werdum a year ago. He showed vintage form against Browne (18-4-1), who got wobbled by a spinning wheel kick and then battered to the ground repeatedly.
Velasquez finished his heavyweight-record 10th knockout victory with 3 seconds left in the round.
Title contenders T.J. Dillashaw, Kelvin Gastelum and Julianna Pena won clear, entertaining decisions on the undercard. The first three fights at UFC 200 ended with first-round stoppage victories for UFC veterans Joe Lauzon, Jim Miller and Gegard Mousasi.
TheFreshMen, Also known as TheFreshMen757, are the originators of the popular dance trend “Sauce Walk”. These two talented singers have spent years developing their abilities and chemistry together as a mainstream Hiphop and RnB group. Gerell Traynum and Ka'Sean Chapman are both from Norfolk, Virginia and have been best friends since their early childhood. While attending Granby High School in 2011, the two friends came up with a dance that they named “sauce walk” just for fun. Unknowingly to them, the Sauce Walk would become more than a dance shared between two friends. Before TheFreshMen, Gerell aka Sincere, had created a buzz for himself singing under Kingdom Builders Expansion. After being introduced to a local producer named Aaron Wiggins and the rest of Juggerknatz Music Group, JMG and KBE partnered together to create and release his first EP, “Two Of The Same”. This allowed him to win the Rookie Of The Year Award at Fall Jam 2011. Some years later, after settling into college, Gerell reconnected with Aaron Wiggins and they were off making music once again. As Gerell began to make music to rejuvenate his music career, he decided to collaborate with his best friend Ka’sean on a few songs. The rest is history. TheFreshMen were formed in the summer of 2015. They released their dance the #SauceWalk in videos to the song “Cut It” by O.T. Genasis. Colleges, parties, pep rallies, and many young people across the Nation have been spotted doing this dance. Shaq has reposted this dance on his Instagram, has been shown on ESPN, and has even had Rhianna’s best friend doing it on her IG. They quickly released “Sauce Walk” as a song to teach the dance and dropped the music video almost immediately. They are currently trending and has interviewed with the likes of IHeart Radio host Tyler Layne. They have also landed #pickoftheweek and a shout out from none other than the infamous DJ Jack Of Spades. With their remake of 679 entitled “679 Medley” on soundcloud, their numbers continue to rise, causing casting from The Voice Season 12 to reach out to feature them. With their following and views continuing to climb, TheFreshMen have no choice but to deliver everything their fans are requesting.

Producer Zaytoven and Future are preparing to release their "Beast Mode 16" mixtape. Here's a sample of what fans can expect to hear on the project via a song titled "Havin It" feauring Maceo.
Lamar didn't respond, but his Black Hippy partner in rhyme Ab-Soul sent shots back during his set at Pro Era's "Steez Day Festival" in Los Angeles on Thursday, July 7.
“I was like a swami to Jay Electronica until he figured that Kendrick wouldn’t admit that he would body him for a milly / I told Dizzle 'keep quiet, I’ma get him, We don’t need dirt on your hands getting the keys to the city, you feel me?' / It hurts when your OG who’s supposed to be a G-O-D / Is standing next to King Kunta feeling like Toby / Moose, what I gotta do boy? / I’m just waiting on your cue to take ’em to school, boy," Soul freestyled.
Jay had previously offered an apology to Kendrick via Twitter in April when he wrote: "Peace to K dot and TDE because regardless to whom or what we are brothers fighting the same enemy. forgive my past transgressions."
Will this spark more beef? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

When Eminem's"Total Slaughter" event was announced one of the most anticipated battles on the July 12, 2014, show, was Hollow Da Don vs. Joe Budden.
However, behind the scenes Hollow wasn't happy with several issues leading up to the event and made the decision to sabotage it.
In a new interview with Unbiased Review, the Queens, New York representative breaks down why he didn't feel like he had any other choice.
1. He and Joe had previously agreed to meet at a different event. His payday would have been significant, but Joe's management team killed it because their client's likeness was owned byShady Recordsand they wanted the two to meet on"Total Slaughter."
2. Hollow says he got low balled by the organizers of "Total Slaughter."
3. After signing his contract he saw Russell Simmons, Steve Rifkind and Smack White having a conversation. At that point he started to get the feeling that the major labels planned a takeover of the battle rap scene. Established industry artists like Mistah Fab, Royce 5'9 and Ab-Soul would become the stars and battle rappers would be relegated to a lower tier.
4. Major money was poured into the show's production, meanwhile the emcees on the the card weren't getting their fair share in Hollow's opinion.
Hollow apologizes to Eminem and Royce 5'9 because he knows they come from the culture and didn't have a hand in any of his grievances.
Instead, he laid the blame on Paul Rosenberg and Jimmy iovine.
Check out the full interview below to hear the ways Hollow threw a monkey wrench into the event
