There's no love lost between Young Chop and Kanye West.
Chop released a couple of videos taking shots at Yeezy for exploiting Chicago artists and taking credit for discovering Chief Keef and Vic Mensa.
"He right along with the shits," Chop said. "Use you, try to soak up everything niggas know. Get you to write songs for him and then don't call you after that. Fuck him. For instance, "Don't Like" and my boy Vic Mensa. They gon' make it seem like he put them on. And he really fucking didn't. Niggas started from the bottom."
When it comes to violence in hip-hop, legendary emcee Scarface told VladTV that "every man fights the war he deserves," and he revealed why he doesn't roll with an entourage. He explained that he believes in settling things squarely, and Scarface added, " If you come for me you gotta come, though, because I come back."
While discussing negative media portryals, Scarface brings up Donald Trump and how he loves him "because he don't know no better." "I love him," Scarface says with a grin. "He's f*cking rich and f*cking lawless...he don't give a f*ck about that sh*t."
During the conversation the Houston emcee also spoke about why he never wanted to reach superstar status, as Scarface says he likes living a life of normalcy. After pointing out that he's friends with Jay Z, Kanye, and other highly watched celebrities, Scarface admits that he never desired that kind of life.
(Savannah Morning News) Mathew Ajibade was placed in a restraining chair at 11:48 p.m. Jan. 1 after a struggle with jailers and then left for extended periods of time without an action by jail staff, a jail video played in court Wednesday revealed.
The video, played for the Chatham County Superior Court jury hearing the case of three jail employees charged in his death, was part of the prosecution’s key evidence in their case of involuntary manslaughter and failing to monitor what they said led to Ajibade’s death while still in a restraint chair.
Judge James F. Bass Jr. recessed court Wednesday, in part because a broken air conditioner made the courtroom uncomfortable for the second day. Jurors were to return today to resume the video presentation with Bass being assured the system will be repaired.
Ajibade, 21, died late Jan. 1 or early Jan. 2 in a restraint chair in the wake of a violent confrontation with jailers.
Mathew Ajibade
Former deputies Jason Kenny, 31, and Maxine Evans, 56, along with Gregory Brown, a 45-year-old Corizon Health licensed practical nurse at the jail, are on trial for involuntary manslaughter for causing Ajibade’s death “without any intention to do so.”
Jason Kenny
Gregory Brown
Maxine Evans
Kenny is charged with using a Taser against a restrained Ajibade. The other two are charged with reckless conduct by failing to monitor Ajibade’s status.
In addition, Kenny and Evans are charged in two separate indictments with committing perjury before the Chatham County grand jury that was hearing the case in what the state contends was part of an attempt to cover up their involvement in the death.
All three defendants have pleaded not guilty to all charges.
On the witness stand Wednesday, former Lt. Debra Johnson, who was watch commander that night, provided narrative to the video.
The evidence showed Ajibade refusing repeated instructions from a deputy to sit in a red chair in the pre-booking area, then battling with as many as five deputies on the floor as they tried to subdue him.
At one point, Sgt. Anza Rowland is knocked to the floor during a scuffle with Ajibade over a Taser, her nose broken and suffering a concussion by Ajibade, and Brown can be seen rushing to her assistance.
Also during the struggle, Deputy Mark Capers strikes Ajibade twice in the face, action Johnson said was justified under jail policies in an effort to control the inmate.
Johnson also testified that Kenny asked for a spit mask for Ajibade after he was in the restraint chair and moved to a cell in the old jail area, then called for a Taser.
Johnson retired after 26 years with the sheriff’s department in the wake of Ajibade’s death.
Dr. Chris Sperry, the state’s chief medical examiner, testified Wednesday that Ajibade “was stressed to death as a consequence of what occurred” by the series of confrontations with law enforcement before his death at the Chatham County jail.
Sperry, who works for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation crime lab, said the beginning was when Savannah-Chatham police arrested Ajibade earlier in the evening in a domestic violence case involving his girlfriend and ended with Ajibade being placed in restraints and left unattended for an hour and a half.
“All of these things added up to cause his death,” Sperry said in response to questions by defense lawyers. “I don’t know exactly when he died. That is impossible to do.”
Sperry’s testimony followed that of Chatham County Coroner Dr. William Wessinger, who listed blunt force trauma as cause of death on Ajibade’s death certificate.
“It was so many items listed I couldn’t put it on the death certificate,” Wessinger testified of the autopsy report. “I put down immediate cause as ‘blunt force trauma.’”
Bass has ruled that “this case rises or falls on the issue of (direct) cause” for Ajibade’s death.
In other testimony Wednesday:
• Two state toxicologists testified that Ajibade was “negative” for alcohol and had some evidence of marijuana in his system but nothing heavier.
• Savannahh-Chatham police Star Cpl. Reginald Owens testified he was called to the El Cheapo gas station at East Duffy and Abercorn Streets about 6:15 p.m. on Jan. 1 after a 911 caller reported a dispute between Ajibade and a woman later identified as his girlfriend.
• Owens testified the woman’s face was covered in blood and that he “took Ajibade off balance” and to the ground to control him to make an arrest.
• Owens also testified that when he got Ajibade to the jail, “Jason Kenny was the first officer I turned Ajibade over to. ... He was in booking.”
For K. Camp's latest he decides to remix Future and Drake's song "Jumpman." Give it a listen below and let us know what you think in the comment section below.
The album is actually named “New Jerusalem” and Jacques Johnson (Pronounced: Jhock) did things his way and all by himself creatively. The name isn’t the only thing unique. This quiet young star has tracks that leave you playing them over and over. There are no paid features on this album. He hasn’t tried to ride on someone’s brand. There is just good music. They variety on the track list remind you of Drake, Kanye and some trap just to let you know he can. The mixing is phenomenal and the skits are authentic. His single “Spotlight” is a party anthem for anyone and everyone. His track “That’s A Bet” gives you a street anthem with a strong beat. Then, you get to “Nailed” and you feel anointed by the lyrics because Jacques Johnson refers to being Nailed to the top and turning water to Ciroc.
This young indie business owner is being viewed as a quiet storm. His demeanor is low key until he hits the stage. He has been referred to as “complex” because his lyrics are not that of a young artist. If he chooses to play an instrument, he does. He is a master of self teaching. His amazing mind will keep bringing hits. His story is one of diversity and a well educated suburban upbringing, but he has always made music and lyrics his first loves.
With the partnership of GameTite Records, Jacques Johnson has distributed his own music worldwide, teamed with a major retailer for store promos, opened for major artists, and is killing shows. With his publicist, Tara Thomas and promotions with DM Management Co. and Marjohn Ent., Jacques Johnson’s team is making moves. It can only get better from here.
Continuing his success with the release of Sentir Mon Amour (Feel My Love), Grammy considered singer-songwriter J Metro prepares to release the new visuals for his latest single “Midnight Dreams”. The video shot for the single was captured by J Metro himself while touring in the country of Switzerland for WIPO, and edited by media icon Rueben Wood.
Written and produced by J Metro, “Midnight Dreams” is the third single from the neo-soul electrifying album Sentir Mon Amour which is still in the early stages of its success being released on July 10th digitally and in stores August 7th. The leading single “Bodyguard” charted at number 12 on Billboard’s Single Sales Chart, giving the initial push needed for the album to become successful.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — An overnight confrontation between two groups of students escalated into gunfire Friday when a freshman at Northern Arizona University killed one person and wounded three others, authorities said.
University police chief Gregory T. Fowler identified the shooter as 18-year-old Steven Jones and said he used a handgun in the shootings at about 1:20 a.m. Friday. Police were still interviewing Jones and he had not been booked into jail Friday morning.
Steven Jones
The university in a statement identified the student who died as Colin Brough. The victims being treated at Flagstaff Medical Center are Nicholas Prato, Kyle Zientek and Nicholas Piring. The hospital said it couldn't release any information on conditions.
"This is not going to be a normal day at NAU," said school President Rita Cheng. "Our hearts are heavy."
She called it an isolated and unprecedented incident and said classes would go on as scheduled Friday.
The parking lot where the shooting happened is just outside Mountain View Hall dormitory on the Flagstaff campus, which provides housing for many of the campus' sororities and fraternities. The gate to the dorm's main entrance was closed Friday, and police had the surrounding area taped off.
Iowa City, Iowa-based Delta Chi Fraternity said Delta Chi members were involved, but offered no other details.
Alex McIntosh, a friend of Zientek, said he worked part time at the High Country Conference Center while attending the school full time.
"He's very calm, very respectful, has a great manner, calm demeanor and you'd never expect him to be caught up in something like this," McIntosh said.
Brough was from Castle Rock, Colorado, about 30 miles south of downtown Denver. Randy Barber, a spokesman for Douglas County Schools, confirmed that Brough graduated from Castle View High School in 2013. He said the school district had activated a crisis team to support students and staff at the high school.
Student Maria Gonzalez told The Associated Press that she at first suspected firecrackers when the shooting happened.
"I was studying for an exam so I looked out the window and see two people running, and that's when I realized they weren't fireworks they were actually gunshots," she said.
Arizona political leaders voiced support for the university and surrounding community, with Gov. Doug Ducey calling the shooting heartbreaking. He said the state stands ready to help in the investigation and response.
Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, who lives in Flagstaff, expressed confidence that the city "will only grow stronger in difficult moments like these."
The Flagstaff shooting comes on the same day that President Barack Obama is scheduled to visit Roseburg, Oregon, where eight students and a teacher were shot and killed last week at Umpqua Community College. The gunman in the Oregon shooting wounded nine others before turning the gun on himself.
NAU is a four-year public university that has more than 25,000 total undergraduate students at the campus in Flagstaff, a city about two hours north of Phoenix that is surrounded by mountains and ponderosa pines.
Freshman Cameron Sands, 18, said he had pledged at a fraternity and was supposed to move into Mountain View Hall on Friday.
"It's crazy. You don't think this stuff happens. When I think of Flagstaff, I think safety," he said.

Def Squad member Keith Murray came through to chop it up with VladTV after his heavily scrutinized battle with Fredro Starr.
Murray detailed how the battle between he and Fredro came into fruition. He reveals that MC War initially contacted him with Black Rob lined up as his opponent. Unfortunately, the former Bad Boy artist backed out of the match-up and that is when Fredro Starr stepped up the plate. Last year, there was another mishap as Keith and Fredro were scheduled to battle in Atlanta but the showdown was cancelled as fans waited in the venue. When asked, the Long Island native informed Vlad that money issues led to the postponement of the match-up.
Many were disappointed and even ridiculed Murray for his lackluster bars during the event, some even stated that his performance (or lack thereof) was detrimental to the culture. After apologizing to the public, Keith expounded on the reason behind his inebriated appearance and his lack of focus. Despite that, Murray believes if he wasn't distracted he would have won that battle. "Fredro Starr won by default, Keith defeated [him]self. I'm up for a rematch right now, anytime! And anybody who thinks they want to challenge Keith Murray, I'm open for that challenge too. It was something fresh and new, and I'm not making excuses the people wanted to know," asserted the rapper.
Murray then delves into mic issues, how he felt battling over beats as opposed to acapella as most battles take place. He also addressed Fredro Starr calling him a dusthead, why he didn't go the personal route, and assured us that the Moesha co-star could never seen him on any level.
Listen to the full clip below and give your opinion. Do you think Keith Murray would've done better against Black Rob? Are you interested in seeing a rematch between Keith Murray and Fredro Starr.
