Video After The JumpMexican authorities have made one of the largest marijuana drug busts in years, in the city of Tijuana.
Security forces battled with drug runners early Monday morning, after attempting to stop several vehicles suspected of carrying drugs.
Following a shootout, two people were injured and 11 people arrested according to Sky News.
Some of those that were arrested, told police where they could find more marijuana bound for the U.S.Police seized 10,000 packages of weed, weighing 105 tons. Also seized were firearms, trailers and trucks.Army General Alfonso Duarte described the bust.
"Three operations took place simultaneously co-ordinating municipal, state, federal and army authorities," he said. "Approximately 105 tons (was found). We think this equals the amount we seized in the last 10 months."
Duarte said the blocks of dope had been wrapped in different colors and labels. Some were even stamped with pictures that included TV character Homer Simpson.

Video After The JumpJust days after the dramatic, and some would say heroic actions of rapper T.I., who saved a suicidal man's life. The two got the chance to reunite on the Ryan Cameron Show.
T.I. recent sentencing to 11 months in prison for violating his probation was also a topic. Tip released a song featuring Chris Brown titled "Get Back Up." In the song T.I. talks about people who have been quick to turn their back on him.
"I think that I have been in a position to see just how quick people... the public will just throw you away," Tip tells Ryan. "They would rather see you suffer than to see you shine. And you can tell by the same people who praise you while you shining... The same ones who hold your hand up in the ring when you're winning, they gonna be the same ones slapping at me, pointing when you lose. And although my actions have been unacceptable, inexcusable. I don't see them as being unforgivable. And I think that I have been approached by the public... I'm not talking about the courts or anybody in legal. I'm talking by the public. I believe I have been approached in such a way that my actions are unforgivable. And I think that one bad move, one poor sense of judgement has discredited all of the good. Which I don't think is right. Especially when all of the people who are judging and pointing their finger at me are doing as bad, if not worse than me, without doing as much good as me."
The man who T.I. saved from jumping from the building, Joshua also spoke.
He talked about realizing now he needs to work through his legal issues and put the effort into doing that.

Nicki Minaj is proving to be a bit of a diva when it comes to her management.
The Young Money femcee is hiring her fourth manager in the last several months. Having previously parted ways with Debra Antney, Troy Carter and now Diddy.
Her new manager is industry veteran Benny Medina.
Below is a press release by Nicki according to several sources.
Young Money/Cash Money/Universal Motown breakout superstar NICKI MINAJ has decided to dismiss rap mogul, Sean “P diddy Combs” as her music manager and has recently signed a new deal with MEGA MANAGER, BENNY MEDINA, whose current and past clients include Multi Grammy Award winning recording artist, MARIAH CAREY, GWEN STEFANI, BRANDY, AND MORE.
Nicki’s Statement:
“By now, everyone should now that I am really strict when it comes to my representation. I had sympathy for Sean however I feel as if I haven’t gotten the guidance the manager is supposed to give his client. Personally, I feel like I’m being managed by mother. Even if you play the smallest role on my team, I wish to see progress. I’d like to thank him for everything he has done for me; for taking me under his wing. I wish him the best with repping Rick. But now that my album is about to drop, its time to get serious and stop playing games. If I could turn back time…I wouldn’t have made the decision to let Troy go."

Video After The JumpHaving a baby born on 08/08/08 would be really cool. Having your next baby on 09/09/09 would be cool, but a little strange. Having your third baby on 10/10/10 would make me downright nervous.Well that's exactly what happened to Chad and Barbie Soper, whose daughter Chloe was born August 8,2008, followed by son Cameron on September 9,2009 and now their daughter Cearra bor October 10,2010."I thought it was neat numbers, something fun for the kids on their driver’s license – oh, your birthday has rhyming numbers," Barbara told the Today Show. "When the third one came around and it did end up on 10/10/10, I was surprised and I was happy because then the little one wouldn’t be left out."
All three kids were born by c-section, leading some people to believe that this was some sort of weird plan by the family. But Barbara's doctor insists that's not the case.
"The initial plan was to wait until later as we did with the 2nd. But Barbie developed some vascular complications that required that we deliver earlier. That weekend became it." he said.

British jeweler Stuart Hughes has designed the world's most expensive iPhone, costing a staggering $8 million dollars.
Stuart is considered to be the pioneer of the world's most luxurious gadgets.
This particular gadget was designed for an Australian businessman.
Stuart told the Daily Mail that even he is surprised someone would spend so much on an iPhone.
"It is amazing that someone is prepared to spend $8 million on a phone, I doubt it will get used because it is worth so much money. It would be a disaster if it was ever lost," he said.
"The bezel is handmade from rose with approx 500 individual flawless diamonds which total over 100ct.The rear section is formed using rose gold with the added touch of its rose gold Apple logo and 53 diamonds. The main navigation is made from platinum which holds a single cut 7.4ct pink diamond. Also included (not shown in picture) is a rare 8ct single cut Flawless diamond which can replace the pink one. The chest which houses this unique handset is made from a single block of Granite , in Imperial Pink with the inner lined with Nubuck top grain leather , which weight is a massive 7kg.The handset is 32gb and limited edition of only 2 to be ever made."
I doubt even Birdman would blow this kind of money. But if you're interested, go to Stuarts website. There is a purchase button there for this iPhone.
Audio After The JumpIn the last 48 hours the hip hop world has really been buzzing. Jadakiss of The Lox has been a major part of the buzz.
First came BET's controversial 'Top Ten Rappers Of The 21st Century' list, where Jada was placed at # 9.
Then came yesterday's release of the certified banger "Dump", a 50 Cent, Kiss collaboration.
Kiss called into Hot 97 last night and chopped it up about both topics.
On the Bet Top 10 Rappers List"I liked it better that the MTV one, they kept it a little more real. But they still left off some good quality points and they left off some good quality rappers," Jada said. "I think Fab should have been on that list. It's aways gonna go back to who's the people judging. They had some good people judging, but I felt like it was a little biased."On the new song "Dump" with 50 Cent
"I just felt it was time for New York, especially after watching that [BET] top 10 list," Jada said. "It's my song featuring 50 Cent and that's Rell from Roc-A-Fella on the hook."50 Cent never records with people he has previously had beef with, making this song a history making event.
"It's a lot weirdos in power Flex, and we [Jada and 50] just want to get things back into perspective. People like us, they try to oust us out. It has nothing to do with money, it has nothing to do with skills. They just get nervous when I send you something up to the radio like that joint I just sent you. It's just to let the weirdos know 'don't get outta line.' "
Jada says he will be dropping a new song every other Saturday from here on in.

Video After The JumpLil B definitely has a growing movement.
Male fans love based god so much they offer their girlfriends and mothers to him as carnal sacrifices. At least that's what happened at B's recent show in Santa Barbara, California.
A guy screams out, "f*ck my b*tch based god."
Not satisfied with B's response, the same fan then yells out, "f*ck my mom based god."
B asks is he can kiss the dude's hand for that, then does.
No doubt, I respect what B is doing musically, but I wouldn't have kissed that guy's hand, must be a based thing?
B goes on to perform the rest of the show in front of fans that look zombied out. Seems like they had fun though.
