Ar-Ab a.k.a. The Top Goon of Philly recently sat down with Mikey T The Movie Star and Clark Martin to talk about two of his favorite subjects ... guns and rapping.
The Original Block Hustlaz shot caller started the conversation off by naming his top five favorite rappers.
"My top five is Beanie Sigel, DMX. I don't know why people don't mention DMX a lot. I don't understand that," Ar said. "Jay Z, Jadakiss. It's gonna be hard to choose a top five like a lot of people. You go from Big Pun, not because he died. But Big Pig Pun was lyrical. His flow was terrific. Eminem, I don't know id he'd be in my top five. I gave you four, but I don't know who number five would be. Big Pun, Eminem, Fab, Styles. I like a lot of motherfuckers. I'm naming motherfuckers from my era."
The conversation then shifted to weapons, a topic that comes up often in Ar's lyrics.
"I like the FN Five-seven because it shoots rifle bullets," Ab explained. "Glocks, Rugers. I'm a handgun dude. A lot of people get them choppers. When I was down South choppers was big, but you can't carry them bitches 'cause the cops 'gon be around. Where we from you need a gun you can hide or you could sell. Because when you walk around with an AK in your hand, you won't make it one block before 10 cop cars pull up on you. So, we like the Glocks and Rugers and Smith & Wessons. Shit like that."

"I'm at the point where i'm a dad now, and I can provide for my family through my craft. It feels good, and I hope "Trap No More" inspires other young people to get out the hood and chase their dreams."Gio Dee's eight-track EP features production by Metro Boomin, TM88, as well as a guest appearances by Atlanta newcomer Madeintyo on"Free Throw" and Bay Area native IAMSU! on "Rags To Riches."

The story of Yo Gotti artist, Blac Youngsta's, run-in with police after a Wells Fargo bank employee allegedly called the cops following his $200,000 withdrawal has taken an even stranger turn.
As we previously reported, Black, real name Sam Benson, said Atlanta police detained him on January 8, put a gun to his head and confiscated half of the $200,000 he had to find out if it was legitimate.
The Collective Music Group artist said he had $1.3 million in the bank and once his story checked out he was apologized to and released.
"I went in there and got $200,000 out of my account. I come out the bank... I see the police. I'm walking to my car [and] I see one of the pointing to my bag like, 'him'" Youngsta told 11 Alive. “They come bum rushing me at the car, put me on the ground, putting guns to my head, so I’m like ‘What I’d do?' A lady was like I’m not supposed to have…$200,000 on me. I’m like, ‘I’m a millionaire. How can I not have $200,000 on me?’"
According to Benson, the mix up began when he was mistaken for someone who had cashed a bogus check at the location.
"I was finna go buy me a vehicle," he explained. "They got the new Mercedes Benz out, you know like the Maybach. I was finna go get one. I was about to go buy one, cash. Buy they just made me so mad I might go buy me a Ferrari right now. I feel aggressive. I feel fast.. [Bank employees] couldn't believe that I was young, black, handsome and I was getting $200,000 out. I had my Rolex on with all the diamonds in it. On my rich folks stuff. The thing is, I'm a rapper. How I live my life I don't believe in checks. I don't want to go to the car lot with no check. My dream I always dreamed about was going in the bank getting a half a million out and taking the car lot a half a million and putting it on the desk like, 'give me that Ghost right there.' Where I come from we don't believe in taking checks to the car lot. It's still legit. This the check right here."
The Atlanta Police Department and Wells Fargo are now disputing the story.
11 Alive reports that they were told by Atlanta Police Sgt. Warren Pickard that police were called to the bank because a man named Charles Darnell Edward was suspected of cashing a $24,000 bogus check.
Benson happened to be at the bank when they arrived and during the initial confusion, he was temporarily detained until police positively identified the suspect.
Pickard added that Benson had $70,000 in cash on him, but it wasn't his money. The funds reportedly belonged to his manager who withdrew the money from his account.
Wells Fargo released the following statement:
Mr. Benson is not an account holder with us. He did not enter our store nor did he make any withdrawals.
A fraudulent incident did occur in the store so in the best interest of our customer, we reported it to law enforcement right away and as a result, a suspect was apprehended and the customer was not the victim of fraud. Mr. Benson was not a party to the fraudulent incident.
We’re confident that our description of the suspect was appropriate. It is documented in the police report. We encourage you to review it.
Who do you believe in this confusing story?

On Friday, January 8, Mexican marines launched a pre-dawn raid dubbed "Operation Black Swan" on Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's hideout in the Sinaloa city of Los Mochis.
Five of the drug kingpin's associates were killed, six injured and several captured. One marine suffered a non-life threatening injury.
Guzman escaped the initial raid through storm drains and exited a manhole in the street. He and an associate carjacked a vehicle, but were eventually caught.
He had been the subject of a manhunt since escaping from Altiplano prison, 50 miles outside of Mexico City, on July 11, 2015.
The marines were wearing GoPro cameras during the raid. 15-minutes of footage has now been released.

While almost everyone has counted Meek Mill out in his battle with Drake it appears that the "House Party" hit maker is still ready to rumble.
Last month a snippet from a Drizzy diss made it's way onto the internet.
"When I was saying sh!t about the rhymes you ain't wrote/I can't wait 'til we run into ya/I'ma put a gun in ya," Meek spits in the short clip.
This morning he posted an interesting photo on his Instagram page. There was no caption needed because the words in the pic said it all.
"The crown ain't worth shit if the person wearing it is a fraud," it reads.
Drake is arguably the number one rapper in the game and Meek's arch nemesis. If this isn't a shot at him who could the MMG rapper be referring to?

Porn actress and "Teen Mom OG" reality television star, Farrah Abraham, caught Nicki Minaj's attention on Sunday, January 10, but not in a good way.
The rapper was apparently watching an episode of Abraham's MTV show when she saw a scene in which she thought the cast member's mom was being disrespected.
Never one to hold back what she's thinking, Nicki, took to her Twitter account and wrote, "Farrah is a cunt to her mom," before adding. "She was like bitch go do some porn and leave mom alone."
Nicki deleted the tweets, but not before Farrah saw them. She responded and shared a screen grab of the disparaging remarks.
The two then exchanged disses.

Video And Pics After The Jump
NEW YORK (AP) — David Bowie, the other-worldly musician who broke pop and rock boundaries with his creative musicianship, nonconformity, striking visuals and a genre-spanning persona he christened Ziggy Stardust, died of cancer Sunday. He was 69 and had just released a new album.
Bowie, whose hits included "Fame," ''Heroes" and "Let's Dance," died "peacefully" and was surrounded by family, representative Steve Martin said early Monday. The singer had fought cancer for 18 months.
Long before alter egos and wild outfits became commonplace in pop, Bowie turned the music world upside down with the release of the 1972 album, "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" which introduced one of music's most famous personas. Ziggy Stardust was a concept album that imagined a rock star from outer space trying to make his way in the music world. The persona — the red-headed, eyeliner wearing Stardust — would become an enduring part of his legacy, and a touchstone for the way entertainers packaged themselves for years to come.
Bowie turned 69 on Friday, the same day as he released a new album called "Blackstar."
"While many of you will share in this loss, we ask that you respect the family's privacy during their time of grief," said a statement issued via his social media accounts. No more details were provided.
The singer, who was born David Jones in London, came of age in the glam rock era of the early 1970s. He had a striking androgynous look in his early days and was known for changing his appearance and sounds. After Ziggy Stardust, the stuttering rock sound of "Changes" gave way to the disco soul of "Fame," co-written with John Lennon, to a droning collaboration with Brian Eno in Berlin that produced "Heroes."
He had some of his biggest successes in the early 1980s with the bombastic "Let's Dance," and a massive American tour. Another one of his definitive songs was "Under Pressure," which he recorded with Queen; Vanilla Ice would years later infamously use the song's hook for his smash hit "Ice Ice Baby."
"My entire career, I've only really worked with the same subject matter," Bowie told The Associated Press in a 2002 interview. "The trousers may change, but the actual words and subjects I've always chosen to write with are things to do with isolation, abandonment, fear and anxiety — all of the high points of one's life."
Bowie lived in West Berlin in the late 1970s and Mayor Michael Mueller said Monday that "Heroes" became "the hymn of our then-divided city and its longing for freedom."
An Iconic Love #RIPDavidBowie #IMAN pic.twitter.com/bbvfi0s43b
— vsnotebook. (@vsnotebook) January 11, 2016Germany's Foreign Ministry added Bowie was "now among heroes" and thanked him for "helping to bring down the wall."
Bowie's performance of "Heroes" was also a highlight at a concert for rescue workers after the 2001 World Trade Center attacks.
"What I'm most proud of is that I can't help but notice that I've affected the vocabulary of pop music. For me, frankly, as an artist, that's the most satisfying thing for the ego," Bowie said.
He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996, but he didn't attend the ceremony. Madonna, another artist who knew something about changing styles to stay ahead of the curve, accepted for him and recounted how a Bowie concert changed her life when she attended it as a teenager. David Byrne, of the art rockers Talking Heads, inducted Bowie and said he gave rock music a necessary shot in the arm.
"Like all rock 'n' roll, it was visionary, it was tasteless, it was glamorous, it was perverse, it was fun, it was crass, it was sexy and it was confusing," Byrne said.
Bowie kept a low profile in recent years after reportedly suffering a heart attack in the 2000s. He made a moody album three years ago called "The Next Day" — his first recording in a decade which was made in secret in New York City. "Blackstar," which earned positive reviews from critics, represented yet another stylistic shift, as he gathered jazz players to join him.
He released a music video on Friday for the new song "Lazarus," which shows a frail Bowie lying in bed and singing the track's lyrics. The song begins with the line: "Look up here, I'm in heaven."
Tributes poured in for the singer after the announcement of his death. British astronaut Tim Peake tweeted about his sadness from outer space aboard the International Space Station, saying "his music was an inspiration to many."

— ErykahBadoula (@fatbellybella) January 11, 2016British Prime Minister David Cameron tweeted that Bowie's death is "a huge loss." He wrote he had grown up listening to and watching Bowie and called the singer a "master of reinvention" and a pop genius who kept on getting it right.
I grew up listening to and watching the pop genius David Bowie. He was a master of re-invention, who kept getting it right. A huge loss.
— David Cameron (@David_Cameron) January 11, 2016The Rolling Stones wrote they were "shocked and deeply saddened to hear of the death of our dear friend David Bowie. As well as being a wonderful and kind man, he was an extraordinary artist, and a true original."
Bowie felt uneasy about some of his greatest material, once embarking on a "greatest hits" tour saying it would be the last time performing much of his old material. He later relented, however.
"I'm not a natural performer," he said in the 2002 interview. "I don't enjoy performing terribly much. Never have. I can do it and, if my mind's on the situation, do it quite well. But five or six shows in, I'm dying to get off the road and go back into the studio."
Bowie was married twice, to the actress and model Mary Angela "Angie" Barnett from 1970-80, and to international supermodel Iman since 1992. He had two children — Duncan Jones and Alexandria Zahra Jones — one with each wife.

Delaware indie artist, Jay LaVita is heating up the worldwide web with his debut single “Put You On” featuring NYC rapper Fred The Godson. The catchy, melodic track will have you singing along with LaVita as he sings out to a pretty young thing, wooing her to be his main chick.
“Baby Girl that body’s too legit / She brought it to me like a stewardess / I’m gonna give her what she came here for / She said the feelings so right, well I know it ain’t wrong / So go ahead and lay your head down, and let me put you on,” he sings.
Born Jeffrey Lynn Tabron, the emerging singer-songwriter grew up in a musical home that emphasized hard work. According to Jay, every Christmas morning his parents insisted that he and his siblings perform before they were allowed to open their presents. This early love of performing helped mold him into the vibrant performer he is today. Honing his talents independently since adolescence, Jay has already shared stages with legends like Earth, Wind & Fire, and hitmakers like Flo Rida and Colonel Loud. Now signed with Starr Media Group, Jay Lavita has found a home where he can solely concentrate on what he fell in love with as a child…. the music.

The internet had a field day on Sunday, January 10, when they thought Leonardo DiCaprio snubbed Lady Gaga at the 73rd Golden Globe Awards.
Gaga was on her way to the podium to accept the award for Best performance by an actress in a leading role in a series, limited series or motion picture made for television, when she brushed up against DiCaprio.
He laughed and gave her a sideways glance. The moment started trending on Twitter.
DiCaprio later gave an explanation to Entertainment Tonight of what actually happened.
"Oh Lord - that's trending huh?" he said. "I just didn't know what was passing me, that's all."
Twitter still showed no chill and had some fun at Gaga's expense.
