Uncle Sam doesn't forget or forgive. MC Hammer is finding that out the hard way.

Hammer, real name Stanley Burrell, is in deep debt with the U.S. government to the tune of $779,585 according to TMZ. The government has filed a lawsuit against the rapper in an attempt to collect the debt.

Hammer sold more than 50 million records worldwide, mainly during the height of his success in the early 90's. The rapper accumulated massive wealth. He reportedly made then blew as much as $30 million dollars due to bad investments and a $12 million dollar crib he had built for himself. After falling $13 million dollars in debt, Hammer filed for bankruptcy in 1996.

The government says the rapper owes unpaid taxes for the years 1996 and 1997. They are demanding any money he makes from concert appearances go straight to them until the debt is satisfied. Given that Hammer is not exactly a hot name in the streets right now, you would be right to assume it is going to take quite a while for him to repay his debt.

Wow, this is just crazy.

In an episode of Lifetime's 'One Born Every Minute,' two women celebrated the birth of their grandchild by scrapping right in the hallway outside of the room of the baby's mother.

One of the grandmas looks like she's been watching some MMA because she throws a mean left and a flying knee that leaves the other woman dazed and confused.

Check out the buffoonery below.

50 Cent was in attendance at "CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute" show Sunday December 11. The event is dedicated to honoring everyday people who are changing the world.

The businessman/actor/rapper/philanthropist talked to A.J. Hammer about why he felt it was important for him to be there.

"It's exciting to acknowledge everyday people making a difference," 50 said. "Some of the more influential people need to take a stand and step out there and do some different things. That's what I'm doing with my Street King initiative. I partnered with the United Nations World Food Programme. With every sale of the actual energy drink they're providing a meal on behalf of the person that made the purchase," 50 explained. "And through SMS Audio, my newest venture I partnered with Feeding America, which is the nationa's leading charitable organization against hunger to provide 250 meals for each purchase of the audio headsets."

A.J. said it was clear that 50's charitable endeavors were coming from the heart.

"I think the business model is more important than an energy drink or a headset," 50 continued. "Moving forward if I can influence other young entrepreneurs to make the same decision to have the charitable component connected to it, then it will become a standard. And we will find money for issues that we really need to focus on."

DJ Suss-One recruits an all-star team of Lloyd Banks, Jadakiss, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Junior Reid and French Montana for his latest single/video "Champion."

Not only did Jermaine Dupri's Lamborghini Murcielago get repossessed recently, he is now being sued by the company that financed the purchase.

According to TMZ, Premier Financial Services sued Dupri in Georgia Superior Court, claiming he still owes them a difference of $79,095 for the vehicle after they repoed it and sold it off at auction for $115,000.

Dupri originally financed the $330,000 car in 2006. He put down $70,000 up front and agreed to make 58 monthly payments of $4,323, but stopped paying in 2009.

Dupri is well known throughout the music industry for founding So So Def Records and guiding the early careers of Kris Kross, Lil Bow Wow and Da Brat.

50 Cent hit up DJ Whoo Kid's Shade 45 show Saturday (December 10) and chopped it up about every subject under the sun. From the early days of G-Unit, meeting Lloyd Banks through Tony Yayo, how he revolutionized the mixtape game, being amazed that his mixtape ended up in Eminem's hands and what he meant when he said Lil Wayne was turning into 50 Cent.

"I see the backlash," 50 said of Wayne's Carter IV cd. "His last album I listened to it and it's some good sh*t on it, but it's not registering like that. They're [fans] are comparing it to the best material that he's ever made. Then you go, 'ok it's not that good' if you're comparing it to them big hits off of the last few albums that he had. That's what they did to the 'Curtis' album."

50 also clarified that his new artist Paris is a part of the Ryder Gang along with Kidd Kidd. In addition he is putting out another set of wireless headphones designed specifically for DJ's and is considering creating a cartoon series based on the character Butterball from his anti-bullying book 'Playground.'

For fans that were wondering why songs like "What Up Gangsta Pt. 2" weren't on The Big 10 project, 50 said he is still going to release a Street King mixtape. The Big 10 came out first because it coincided with the 10-year anniversary of 50 Cent is the Future.

There's a lot more to the interview. 50 also talks about his recent conversations with T.I. and Birdman plus his plans to continue to build G-Unit/G-Note Records through new talent.

Here's the latest project from Mike Baggz. Check out the tracklisting below.

TRACK for TRACK breakdown

01. INTRO

i put the sound of the train to signify the takeoff, later on in the track "one way ticket", i specify im going to take off in a train.

02. LOVE ME OR HATE ME

i explain the struggle between my ex loving me, and hating me and exploring the reasons why. her misconceptions and insecurities are outlined in this song, i go as far as talking about the breaking point which was probably the abortion we had that we neither really wanted but the pressure of our family ultimately led to the decision. the hook signifies the internal struggle she faced during our relationship.

03. ANGER

circiling around an insident that happened at bay shore mall, where my ex attacted me out of anger, and we had a physical altercation. this song was based of those emotions. i wrote this the day after, all i could think of when the situation happened was how much i did love this girl and how oposite our situation became, its like we was on the opposite sides of the spectrum

04. WE WAS DEAD WRONG FT. L BLACK

remembering my ex, who was my first everything and the first time we had sex, and the issues we delt with, in one line i say "the more we loved eachother the more we grew apart" also incorperating the sound of philly in the song, also featuring one of phillys most poppin artist @lblack_215 on twitter,

05. FLY AWAY

probably my favorite song to listen to on the mixtape, when you listen youll understand why, i was explaining how life is on the road as a rapper, and how you leave the one you love to pursue this music career, and some of the issues you face. one line which stands out is "i just wanna party an bullshit but every bitch i fuck on some bullshit"this is a song i did the day i came back from paris,

06. INSOMNIA FT. STYLEZZ UNIQUE

i released this in 2009, its a classic thats been featured on a lot of different projects, this would be the song you smoke and fuck too, i know i did lol, i was actually a featured artist on this track. it has a real pop sound too it, i basically talk about being captive an used as a sex slave metaphorically speaking that is

07. ONE WAY TICKET

self explanitory, this song represents the concept of the mixtape, the hook has a eminem'ish sound to it, with hard verses, the ultimate message in this song is , leave when you need to leave, even if there is no imediate destination, in one line i said, "board the plane board the train or start sailing off", theres alot of aggression in this song, when i recorded it , i put myself in that mind state i was in a few months ago when i had to leave what is now known as my ex, if im listening to my mixtape this is usually the song i have on repeat, the word play and flow on this one is nearly flawless.

08. BUSCADO DE ORO FT. JOSH BENNY

i put it in spanish just confuse the shit out of my listeners lol this song features long time friend and comrad josh benny, whom i known since he was 13 goin on 14, and i was about 19 or 20, we have history so its right i bring em along for the ride, this track has that farrockaway feel to it. probably a favorite among the listeners, fyi buscado de oro means gold digger in spanish, i created this song after a convo i had with this girl and she was telling me how her mom encourages her to go after guys with money, to chace the wallet not the heart #GOFIGURE

09. DAMN

im not a big fan of autotune, and actually this song was just me playing around, but when i ran it by a couple of my friends they loved it, and it kinda grew on me, and now is one of my favorite songs on the mixtape, it is very catchy, alot of the younger generation will love this one, i unofficially consider it based music , i actually freestyled this whole song, if you noticed the back round talk it gets very explicit, this is not a song you play around kids lol

10. IN THE MORNING

this song was done earlier this year, just a segment out of a track i was featured on, i think i killed this shit lol,  i explain the different seasons as different feelings, i explore the simplicity of comencing a relationship with a girl who is scorned by her past relationships, so my job is to "paint her a picture" as i explain in the song, a picture she can look at an be comfortable with metaphorically speaking

11. MORE THAN EXPECTED

for every girl who feels like i wasnt doing enough, having it all, but still wanting more, the ladies like this song the most, im guessing because they can relate to it, i showcase my word play and my lyricism in this track. i grew up on big pun, so the fast tounge twisters was right up my ally toward the second verse, i address my ex's in this song, as im trying to move on into another relationship. "my ex's wanna fight me, please dont hype me, cuz they irrelavant"

12. I LIKE YOU

this is originally my first song i released of the mixtape, and probably the most viral,the song shows off my wordplay and verbal skills, i wanted ppl to get that feeling when you first meet a girl and later tell em how you feel, theres no curses in this song, i basically will smith'ed it lol, this song is prolly a classic and will always remain one of my best songs to showcase.

13. YOU & ME

i did this song after my break-up with my first, it was a 5  1/2 year run, that came to an end. this song i did almost 3 years ago but never officially released it, i shot a video for it ----> the reason i chose to do this beat because it was perfect for me getting the message through, the sample in the begining was perfect, favorite line "im not callin you a liar, but i smell smoke and ya pants on fire"

14. ALL NIGHT LONG

when i wrote this song i just came back from harlem, you could prolly hear it in the song who im flowing like lol, @jimjonescapo is one of my favorite artists, this is a song id play heading uptown, it has that new york swag to it

15. FLY LIKE ME

i wrote this after meeting the girl of my second serious relationship, we used to go to fridays and eat with friends, i didnt know her, but i invited all her friends out just so she acan come out, i was a lil slick back then, but we ultimatley had a good 2 1/2 year run, i met her in college hence the hook "school girl"

16. THINKIN BOUT YOU

this song never was released because i never really got it finished, i was suppose to feature another artist on it, this was made during the time of  you & me, so it has some sort of the same theme too it, actually you & me, and this song was writtin in the same studio session.

17. SO FAR FT MADDRICK

this song was the last added track to the mixtape, featuring another long islander, this song i wrote right after my ex hit me up saying she miss me and she still loves me, ironically she was also the reason for the song anger, understand anger came after so far lol, so far explores the dark side of a break up, and how are mind states change to "fuck bitches" because in my mind i felt if i started believeing that, it would be easier to get over

Everybody has heard the term "making it rain." It's the practice of throwing money in the air while at a strip club. Where the term first originated from has been somewhat of a mystery, until now.

Young Jeezy's upcoming album, TM103: Hustlerz Ambition, includes a documentary that is packaged with the deluxe version. In the documentary DJ Drama says Jeezy started the trend.

In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Young Jeezy accepts the credit for starting what has become standard practice for big ballers when they hit up their favorite adult entertainment spot.

Peep what he had to say below.

In the documentary, DJ Drama and others basically give you credit for coming up with the idea of "making it rain."
Yeah, I'll take that.

I've never invented anything – can you take me through the process? What was going through your head?
I'ma be real, man, this might sound like the craziest thing to you. I, and others like me – trap stars – we always considered ourselves Robin Hoods: we go out and get the money. Just think, if you was in the village and you a hunter, you take pride in going out to hunt the prey and bring it back for the village to eat. In our situation, we took pride in getting money so that the hood could eat. A part of the hood was the strip club, so – in our minds – we looking at it like we putting kids through school, we buying school clothes, we paying tuition, we paying car notes. We felt like we was the providers. And that's what we are! When you a ghetto star, when you a hood star, you gonna take care of your grandmother, your mother. When you on that next level, you gotta take care of the city, the streets. All of that consists of going to the strip clubs and throwing up money; like, I'ma have fun doing it, but I'ma give back. And, like, in doing so, they don't gotta take the risks that we did. The women shouldn't have to go out and kill the goddamn elk. 

That's an incredible analogy.
That's what we do. And we took pride in that! The industry sorta came around and blew it up when they saw it as fun, like this is a way to show off my money. To us, it was a way to give back – that's the God's honest truth. We felt like we was the kings of the castle, and we came in like, "Oh, they out getting money, and they bout to give it back to us." Everybody lives better because we brought the money back.

Your typical Wal-Mart shopping list might include items like milk, bread and clothes, but not if your name is Elizabeth Alisha Greta Halfmoon. She uses her local Wal-Mart store to cook up meth, or at least she tried to.

Police say the 45-year old Tulsa, Oklahoma woman had been in the store for six hours before employees noticed her acting suspicious and called them. When cops arrived they observed Halfmoon in the process of mixing ingredients in  a bottle.

”When I saw her she had just finished mixing sulfuric acid with starter fluid in a bottle,” Officer David Shelby told Fox 23. “She didn’t have the money to make the purchases of the chemicals that were needed so she was taking what was needed in the bottle.”

Shoppers were oblivious to what Halfmoon was doing inside the store. One woman who had been shopping with her one-year old son was in tears when Fox 23 spoke with her.

“This is a family store,” said Jessica Fuentes. “People need to start thinking. If she has family she needs to think about her family. If you are broke. It’s just wrong."

Halfmoon told firefighters that responded to the scene that she was trying to manufacture meth, but she just wasn't very good at it.

One police officer suffered burns to his hands while trying to discard the bottle when chemicals burned through it and the gloves he was wearing.

Cops say Halfmoon was arrested just last month in a "smurf" sting. "Smurfs" are identified by police as meth cooks or recruits who purchase pseudoephedrine to make meth. Halfmoon had only been out of jail for three days when caught cooking up in the Wal-Mart.

She was arrested and her bond was set at $100,000. Her arraignment is set for December 16th.
