50 Cent is in Las Vegas attending the Consumer Electronics Show for the fourth year in a row. Sonic Electronics sat down with the G-Unit mogul to discuss SMS Audio now being in competition with Beats By Dre, Carmelo Anthony and Timbaland becoming investor partners in the company, 50's forthcoming Street King Immortal album and his Animal Ambition project.
"I'm gonna put Animal Ambition out in the first quarter. And it will lead up to [Street King Immortal]," 50 said. "With Animal Ambition the project is about prosperity. I got an interesting way of writing. Because I wrote it from a distorted vision or viewpoint. When Biggie said 'Damn, n*ggas wanna stick me for my paper.' That's about when you get something, the effects of others responding to you doing better. The jealousy is connected to it. There's so many ways to write it, that the album has all those facets to it. The overall theme is ambition and prosperity."

Chris Brown arrived at a Washington, D.C. court today amid a mass of paparazzi, screaming fans, and what a My Fox D.C. reporter described as an "unprecedented" amount of security.
The singer made his way inside the courtroom and was described as relaxed and smiling. Once the judge entered things got serious.
Chris was in court to deal with an assault case. He's accused of punching a man in the face outside of the W Hotel last October.
A plea deal of misdemeanor assault offered today, but Chris' attorney Mark Geragos rejected the prosecution's deal. Another one of Brown's laywyers, Danny Onorato, said outside of court that the deal was rejected because Brown is not guilty.
Prosecutor's initially were unable to find any surveillance video of the alleged punch. Today it was revealed that they have obtained footage. Geragos has not yet seen it and may be waiting to find out what prosecutor's have on his client before deciding how to move forward.
The entire proceeding lasted about ten minutes. Another hearing is set for February 20th.
A lot is riding on this case because Chris' probation in California for his 2009 assault of Rihanna has already been revoked. Depending on the outcome of the D.C. case the singer could face jail time. Brown will appear in a California court on February 10, for a progress report on his current stint in anger management rehab.

Rappers in New York City are finding out that certain actions and lyrics are leading them straight to jail. The NYPD's latest tool in cutting down on crime doesn't require wire taps, informants and typical police work. Instead their simply watching rapper's YouTube videos and letting the artists snitch on themselves, according to the New York Times.
Dub Money Gang
In December 2011 a music video by the Dub Money Gang led to the arrest of eleven gang members
“You really have to listen to the songs because they’re talking about ongoing violence,” said Brooklyn anti-gang Officer Fred Vanpelt
Through videos officers discovered that rapper Murder Malco, real name Cuame Nelson, and a member of Addicted To Money (A.T.C.) crew were allegedly gang members. Both are currently under federal indictments for crimes they committed.
“It’s a double-edged sword,” said Patrice Allen, who manages Murder Malco A.T.C. member, K-Dot, real name Karon Stanley. "If you have that much passion and love for the music, I guess you have to deal with it. That’s just what comes with the music. It’s the bitter and the sweet, you know?”
Another rapper that has recently been arrested because of YouTube music video is Na Boogz, reportedly a member of the Bronx gang WTG.
The list of crimes these men and their associates have been accused of include shootings, stabbings, gun possession, drug dealing and more.
Na Boogz
Police pay close attention to diss videos like the one Na Boogz made going at former crew member Quaysean Haywood, who switched over to a new crew.
Bridget G. Brennan, the special narcotics prosecutor for New York City, said that even though diss videos have been around forever, media forums are giving rapper's with real street beefs a bigger audience.
“There’s now a much bigger audience. It’s not just that the whole neighborhood knows about the dispute,” she said. “You can get tens of thousands of hits on a YouTube video. It’s a much bigger arena.”

The Insane Clown Posse are taking on the federal government in a case that should be very interesting. The suit against the Justice Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation was filed Wednesday (January 8) in the Federal District Court of Detroit by the band's attorneys and for the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan. The suit claims that the U.S. government had made the “unwarranted and unlawful decision” to classify their fans, known as Juggalos as gang members. At the heart of the suit is a 2011 report by the FBI that says the fans are a "loosely organized hybrid gang."
The inference is that the fans are violent and often break the law.
Juggalos
Four fans have also joined the lawsuit, according to The Guardian.
The four fans said in the complaint that they had been subject to police harrassment or punishment because of their association with the band. Mark Parsons, from Nevada, said he was detained by Tennessee state troopers for displaying an ICP insignia on his truck. Scott Gandy, from North Carolina, said he had spent hundreds of dollars having Juggalo tattoos covered with other tattoos after being told he could not join the army with "gang-related" body art.
Group members Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J want the FBI to retract the gang affiliation label, They believe the FBI report is a violation of their rights and constitutional right to associate with whoever they please.
Shaggy 2 Dope issued the following statement during a press conference.
"It is wrong to designate the entire group of supporters as a criminal gang based on the acts of a few. We're not a gang. We're a family."
You may remember ICP for their long running beef with fellow Michigan rapper Eminem. Slim frequently made fun of the group with his "Ken Kaniff" skits on his albums. The beef has since been squashed.
