FINDLAY, Ohio (AP) - State regulators in Ohio have shut down a funeral home where a director is accused of mishandling a corpse and other misdeeds.
The state board that licenses funeral homes outlined a long list of accusations against Gregory Routson of Routson Funeral Chapel in Findlay, about 45 miles south of Toledo.
There are over a dozen allegations against Routson, the panel said. The allegations listed:
* Routson left a body unrefrigerated for 13 days
* He was often naked, half-clothed or intoxicated or is addicted to the use of morphine, cocaine, or other habit-forming or illegal drugs
* Put a jacket of a deceased man on in front of the man's family
* Threatened and harassed employees
* Failed to sterilize all instruments for embalming
* Failed to destroy waste materials properly
* Misappropriated money from memorial contributions
* Applicant / licensee has committed immporal or unprofessional conduct
Routson said Tuesday that none of the administrative charges are true and that he's being set up by a competitor. Routson blames this entire situation on another Findlay funeral home, claiming they have tried to sabotage his business since opening in 1994.
"It was just a matter of time they would find an avenue," he said.
Routson, who opened Routson Funeral Chapel with his wife 16 years ago, said the business is his family's livelihood.
He's upset a Findlay-area newspaper broke the news to him on Monday, rather than the state board investigating the matter.
When contacted, the other Findlay funeral home denied any involvement and first found out about the allegations in the newspaper.
State investigators began looking into the funeral home after receiving a complaint from a family last week.
Routson can ask the state board for a hearing or file an appeal in court.
Since shutting down Monday, Routson has been answering the door and phone calls from worried customers who have pre-paid for funeral expenses.
"I'm completely sorry because they entrusted final wishes to me," Routson said. "I wish this never happened."
Drake may be the most hyped or overhyped (depending on who you ask) rapper in the game right now, but there's one rap vet that's not buying into it just yet.
Drake tells Vibe he tried to get Andre 3000 of Outkast on his debut album, 'Thank Me Later' but was turned down.
“I really tried to do a song with Andre 3000, but I think it was meant for my second album, Dre is one of those people that needs you to do a little more. He’s one of those people that believe in his craft so much that he needs you to do more than just be over hyped or just famous. In his mind, I have to prove myself and the truth is, I do. That’s just being real. I have a lot of work to do, so I actually respect him for that. I think on the second album I’ll probably only have two features. I have a few people in mind and Dre probably will be one of them.”
Drake could probably use that dose of humility right now. With everyone heaping praise on the young MC, getting turned down for a feature should help keep him hungry and focused.

Tupac Shakur was many things to many people. He was a poet, actor, militant, rapper, genius, thug and gentleman all in one.
An unmatched work ethic and dedication to his craft allowed Pac to release a total of 10 solo studio albums, six posthumously with another set to come out this year. He also released the group album 'Thug Life' with Rated R, Big Syke and MoPreme. A remarkable body of work considering his rap career only lasted five years, not including his early years as a member Digital Underground when he was more of a dancer than rapper.
Possibly one of Pac's best albums, 'Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory' was recorded in just one week.
To date he has sold over 75 million records worldwide.
Today marks 2Pac's 39th birthday. Makes you wonder just how much more he could have accomplished had he not been killed in Las Vegas on September 13,1996 at age 25. Succumbing to injuries from bullet wounds he received one week earlier..
His good friend Treach of Naughty By Nature told MTV that Pac knew he wouldn't live long.
"We spoke many a time, and he was like, 'I don't see myself growing old,' " Treach said.
Since his death, his mom Afeni Shakur has helped carry on his legacy through The Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts. Which provides opportunities for young people through the arts.
A new Tupac biopic is also on the way and will be directed by Antoine Fuqua, who also directed 'Training Day'.
Many rappers have tried to emulate Pac, but will never be able to duplicate his greatness.
Happy Birthday Tupac Amaru Shakur.

Tupac Shakur's legacy still looms large in music more than 13 years after his untimely death. You can suss out 'Pac's swagger in everyone from DMX to Ja Rule; Kanye West continues Shakur's tradition of being outspoken; and rappers still turn to his back catalog for insightful verses to graft into hip-hop hits.
Part of the reason Shakur's presence is still felt is because the controversial icon left behind a hefty amount of music, including a formidable collection of unreleased recordings. 'Pac might have been on top of the music world when he died, but his close friend and Naughty by Nature MC Treach said Shakur's work ethic was fueled by his belief that his demise was imminent.
"We spoke many a time, and he was like, 'I don't see myself growing old,' " Treach told MTV News' Sway on Tuesday, the day before what would have been Shakur's 39th birthday.
Treach, who came up with 'Pac when the two were roadies for Queen Latifah and Digital Underground, respectively, said that despite his homie's affable manner and upbeat energy, 'Pac worked as if he had no time to waste. "You gotta listen to songs like 'If I Die 2Nite' and 'I Wonder if Heaven Got a Ghetto.' When he was in that mode, in that zone, you gotta be like, 'What's going on? You a'ight?'
" 'Pac couldn't sit down for five minutes," Treach continued. "He was always going, 'Yeah, everything good, good, good.' When you listen to him and you see his demeanor, he was more or less, like, on watch. He had a deadline. He was working at a pace, like, 'Where you going? You going on vacation? You going to jail? You doing sh-- like you tryna finish everything right now and cover stuff.' You couldn't find him half the time; he was gone. He had a plan."
Treach believes 'Pac's plan extended beyond just making thought-provoking music; the Jersey rapper said Shakur wanted to realize tangible change among his fans who were living the thug life.
"Ultimately, he wanted to get the thugs all behind him — his thug nation, his thug life — and take them to the next level ... unified, building up the community, reinvesting in the community, in the people."
Treach said he wanted to use music to get the attention of the streets but then eventually make life easier on the streets. "[He wanted to bring] them in thinking it's a gangsta party, but it's like ... it's a militant, protect-our-own party. He was truly like a baby Panther. He was like, 'Yo, we gotta do something to reinforce that we gonna protect ourselves.' "
Even though 'Pac built his career on a brash, thug persona, Treach said there was way more to the star than his hard-core adherence to the 'hood.
" 'Pac was a clown. Everybody think he just like gangsta, thug-life 'Pac. He'll have a whole party just around him crackin' up," Treach said. "We almost got threw out a couple hotels. I'm talking full-floor water fights."
Treach said he found it hilarious to see the former Digital Underground associate "runnin' around with a Humpty nose."
"He was an actor, he was a musician ... anything you could put, if he wanted to do it, he could do that. But he was a fool too," Treach said. "He did it well being a fool too. You don't want to be around nobody that's mean muggin' all day and got an attitude and hatin'. 'Pac wasn't nothing like that. 'Pac would have you just wanting to be around because you know you gonna have a ball around him and split some seams just having a good time."
His fiery flow, revolutionary rhetoric and undeniable artistry are some of the things that have endeared 'Pac to millions of fans around the world. Yet Treach adds that his appeal as a person was very basic: "He had a glow to him. He had something you wanted to be around."

The O.D.: A Mixtape Daily Exclusive
D12's Bizarre says "the Band" is back in the lab making music together. The Detroit collective are simultaneously recording their next official LP and a new mixtape.
"It took Marshall a little bit of time to get on his grind," Biz said of his D12 partner Eminem. "Now he's about to drop the Recovery album. I got my album, I snuck it in there," added the rapper, who just released his solo independent LP, Friday Night at St. Andrews.
"Right now we're working on this mixtape. We decided we should work on this mixtape to get the streets a little hot right quick then drop the album. We're kinda doing both at the same time. We're definitely back in the lab working. All original material," Biz said of the tape. "If you got some beats man, hit me up, man. We don't discriminate when it comes to music — ain't no politics with us. If you got some fresh music, some hotness, we got you."
Biz noted that with all the fellas back together after a long hiatus, which included grieving over the death of their partner Proof in 2006, the vibe finally felt right.
"It's good, man," he said. "It's a nice feelin', man. We're taking it back to the roots. We're in our little grimy studio and we're knocking it out. I can't describe the feeling. To get back in there with the group and get on some beats, it's a challenge within ourselves. We don't even let each other hear each other's verse before we rap, so you definitely need to be trying to come with it. It's a friendly competition thing. It's a lot of pressure, but it's good pressure."
It's probably no surprise that the guy who's really terrorizing the booth on both efforts is Em.
"Em is sounding crazy," his longtime friend said. "He always sounds crazy. This dude is an alien. He's probably got hundreds of raps thought about already, in different styles and different patterns. That's one dude you can't compare yourself to ... or worry about what he's doing. If you worry about that cat, you're gonna be lost."
While his rhymes will surely reign on the D12 project, whether we'll hear any beats from the Shady Records head is up in the air.
"Em ain't really into producing no more, but he's gonna be on both projects," Biz said.
Neither D12 project has a release date, but Biz said he thinks the mixtape will drop in the fall on the mischief-making Devil's Night. For now, Bizarre is pushing his solo LP and recording.
"It's a ... historic place in Detroit," he explained of his album's title. "[St. Andrews], it was a church that they turned into a club and had hip-hop on Friday night. Being that Detroit is such a gangsta city, this was the only outlet we really had for hip-hop, breakdancing and battling. Basically, I'm paying homage."
Since completing his federal prison sentence, T.I. has been out to reclaim his crown as King of the South, even dropping the post-bid single "I'm Back," on which he acknowledged past mistakes but seemed intent on looking forward. But all that hasn't stopped Tip from responding to critics who argue the Grand Hustle mogul received preferential treatment in being granted what a judge described as an "experimental" plea deal.
"What people don't take into consideration is the reason that I was eligible for certain agreements that they weren't eligible for was because I made myself a useful member of society," T.I. tells XXL in the magazine's July/August issue.
T.I. was sentenced in March 2009 on felony weapons charges arising from a 2007 arrest, when he was apprehended just before a scheduled appearance at the BET Hip-Hop Awards. The Atlanta rapper pleaded guilty in March 2008 and struck a plea deal: a sentence of a year and a day would be contingent upon the star paying a $100,000 fine and completing 1,500 hours of community service; 1,000 hours to be finished before entering prison and 500 after his release. Also, post-prison, T.I. agreed to submit to drug counseling, a curfew, random property searches, DNA testing and a yearlong home confinement, among other conditions of the deal.
In the cover story, T.I. says his community work was a primary factor in landing him a plea deal.
"Most muthaf---as catch cases and get time. My n---a, you wasn't doing sh-- when you was out here, so wasn't no reason for them to keep you out here."
Tip also takes on haters who have accused him of "snitching," a practice that has particularly negative connotations in the rap world — and which has proved troubling to law enforcement. The MC tells the magazine that critics should come at him with hard evidence to support their claims.
"Please understand the G code that I learned from, if you speak out your mouth that a muthaf---a is telling on somebody and you can't come with indisputable, irrefutable facts to support that statement, that makes you the sucker," T.I. said. "You are now in violation of the G code. And there ain't nobody, nowhere in naan jail sayin' I was on they paperwork."
The July/August issue of XXL goes on sale July 6. Tip is staying busy meanwhile, dropping new music and prepping for his summer release, King Uncaged.

Hide the women and kids, Seattle, Washington's finest are on the loose. Especially don't jaywalk or you might get lumped up by the boys in blue.
Seattle Police Officer Ian Walsh punches a 17 year old girl in the face following a confrontation with her and a friend he stopped for jaywalking.
According to Walsh the girls became "verbally antagonistic" which set in motion a disastrous series of events.
As the cop detains one of the girls by grabbing her arm, another intervenes by pulling her friend away. She appears to push the officer who responds by punching her in the face.
Robert Bragg, the program manager for Seattle's Fitness and Force Training said a blow to the face was "well within the scope of appropriate responses to the situation."
When a cop can't subdue a 17 year old girl without punching her in the face something is really wrong. SMFH

I know yall thought Pastor Mason Betha wasn't really preaching the good word, but Ruff Ryders rapper Eve begs to differ.
Eve says a chance encounter with the sometimes rapper, sometimes preacher gave her the inspiration to pursue her rapping career.
The pair met when Ma$e was still wearing those shiny suits for Puffy and Bad Boy Records.
Ma$e stopped by the gentlemen's club where Eve was working that pole and convinced her she could do better.
Eve told VH1's Behind The Music about the encounter.
"He came into the club and looked at me and literally was like, 'What's your name?' And I gave him every stripper name under the sun! I was like, 'I'm Ginger, I'm Sassy!' He was like, 'Why don't you go get dressed, let's go just talk.' And we did, we talked throughout the night. He was like, 'You're really talented. What are you doing? You know you're not supposed to be here. You know it.'
Eve took what he said to heart.
"It was a confirmation for me that all these thoughts, all this sadness. All these times that I wake up in the morning, I'm like, 'Why do I feel like this?' And I know I'm not supposed to be there. It just woke me up."
Already a talented rapper, 18 year old Eve got an audition with Mike Lynn, A&R of Aftermath Records. After one verse and hook he knew he had a star.
Mike introduced Eve to Dr Dre who signed her to a record deal. But after Eminem came into the picture, Aftermath released her after only 8 months.
Eventually she got a chance to audition for Ruff Ryders and the rest is history.

We met up with Eminem in a VIP lounge, and he talked about his new album, “Recovery” - which hits stores next Monday - and also really opened up about the trials he’s faced over the past several years.
This latest disc, he said, reflects a healthier place in his life.
“Recovery feels better than ever," the Detroit rapper said. "Feels like I’m me again.”
But it wasn’t easy facing his drug addiction demons.
“It took me awhile to admit I actually did have a problem," the musician said. "In the hip-hop world that I live in, it can be mistaken for weakness and the last thing you want to do in hip-hop is admit that you're weak. But if I didn't admit I was weak with this certain thing I was going to die."
When asked how close he was to death, the artist responded that he “was certainly a couple of hours away from death," adding that he "overdosed and almost died.”
But he pulled himself back from the brink and re-entered rehab with a more honest, committed attitude: “I had to admit I had a problem. I had to do it for myself," Eminem said.
The album’s already been leaked and Lindsay Lohan, for one, was inspired by one of its tracks, “Talkin' 2 Myself.” She tweeted, "Couldn't relate to this song more some days...."
I asked Eminem how people who are exposed to the trappings of fame - and everything that goes along with it - avoid the pitfalls?
“That's a tough question. I don't know how you avoid it. I mean, I could say the cliched things, make sure you stay on the right path, you make the right decisions in life," he said. "You know, fame is a funny thing, man, especially, you know, actors, musicians, rappers, rock singers, it's kind of a lifestyle and it's easy to get caught up in it - you go to bars, you go to clubs, everyone's doing a certain thing... It's tough.
And while he could simply say, "stay away from that," he added that perhaps it's something one has to experience. "There's some people that can go do that and some people who can't. I was one of those people who couldn't and I had a tough time trying to understand why I couldn't."
Celebrity Blogger Perez Hilton could face child pornography charges after posting a pic of 17 year old Miley Cyrus without panties on his twitter account Monday (June 14).
Hilton posted the pic along with a warning "If you are easily offended, do NOT click here. Oh, Miley! Warning: truly not for the easily offended!"
Hilton, who has made a career out of putting celebrities on blast and getting into confrontations with the likes Lily Allen , Will.I.Am., Carrie Prejean and others is finding himself on the wrong side of trouble this time..
Cyrus is seen in the picture exiting a vehicle in a white dress. In it she doesn't appear to be wearing panties.
The Twitter nation was not happy at all with Hilton, voicing their anger via tweets:
@PerezHilton posted a picture of Miley Cyrus’s VAGINA?! GOD I hope he gets arrested for posting child pornography. PLEASE.
@perezhilton tht is basically distr kiddie porn!!! She’s UNDERAGE!! Hope the wrong person didn’t see it... Pray, baby pray.
@PerezHilton You are the lowest of the low posting child pornography. Knew you were scum but this is a whole other level, you know no limit.
@PerezHilton may be investigated under child porn laws after posting an nude image of teenage singer Miley Cyrus!
@PerezHilton finally you get caught for talking shiz. Pstng a 17 yr olds whooha on Twitter? I'm sure miley will be suing your butt very soon.
Hilton eventually took the link down, but that damage has already been done.

Eminem's hotly anticipated album Recovery is set to land on shelves a day earlier than originally planned. The legendary lyricist's seventh studio album will now get a June 21 release, according to Em's label, Interscope, after the album leaked online.
Once the full LP hit the Net two weeks ahead of its June 22 street date, many expected the Detroit rapper to move up its official delivery. But initial reports seemed to indicate the June date would stick. On June 9, XXLmag.com reported that Interscope rep Dennis Dennehey had confirmed the album would roll out on the originally scheduled Tuesday. Yet just a day later, the label issued a press release announcing a new drop date.
Eminem has since confirmed the news, tweeting on Monday (June 14): "It's true. RECOVERY goes on-sale Monday, 6/21 now."
Steve Berman, vice-chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M, said the public's hunger for the hip-hop icon's latest effort had fueled the date change. "We believe fans want to support their favorite artists by purchasing the real album and not a leaked version," Berman said in the press release. "At the same time, we realize speed is of the essence when fans are so passionate about wanting to hear new songs from such an enormously popular artist like Eminem."
Berman also noted that for devoted fans, adjusting the set's availability by 24 hours was significant. "Even by releasing Recovery only a day earlier than previously announced, it makes a difference to those fans."
The Recovery leak came only a few days after Em premiered the dramatic video for his single "Not Afraid." For his latest set, Marshall Mathers reached beyond his Shady family, teaming with stars like Rihanna, Pink and Lil Wayne. The album also features production from new collaborators like Jim Jonsin, Just Blaze and DJ Khalil.

After being targeted by 50 Cent in a series of songs and video clips, DJ Khaled has refused to engage in a rap beef with the G-Unit frontman vowing to only "represent the music."The Def Jam South labelhead has decided to pass on the controversial rap beef with 50 Cent:"I don't deal with negative energy, it's a waste of my time and my time is valuable," he said in an interview. "I keep negative away and stay positive...At Def Jam, we promote music...We promote hit records. That's what I respect. I'm always going to represent the music; Rick Ross is gonna represent the music. If controversy comes with it, it comes with it." (MTV News)The Terror Squad associate has taken a cue from frequent collaborator Fat Joe who also recently suggested beef should be dismissed for music:"50 Cent just gotta make music," Joe said in an interview. "He does all these diversions and disses rappers to eliminate the fact that he's not really hot and relevant right now. So if two weeks ago we were talking about 50 Cent, what record or what would we really be talking about unless he disrespected Rick Ross...I'm tired of all these gimmicks and these games. This man's just gotta put out hit records. That's what we're doing...We making music. At the end of the day, we fell in love with hip-hop to make music and hit records." (Kendra G)Khaled was drawn into the recent beef between 50 Cent and Ross when 50 released a video of members of Fif's camp stalking Khaled's mother's house and place of work:"Yo, I got this lil' poem I wrote for DJ Khaled," 50 narrates. "Your car tires got stabbed out, now you know, I know where you be. I just wanna tell you what a psychic told me. I know where your mama house at. Now look, you can see. But I just wanna tell you what a psychic told me. I know where your mama work at, now look at her, asleep. I just wanna tell you what a pyschic told me. I'm not the kinda n*gga you should f*ck with, B. I'm special. I have less compassion than the average human." (ThisIs50.com)Ross, on the other hand, has disregarded suggestions to just focus on music with the release of a new 50 diss track:"N*gga you doing radio interviews, they don't wanna listen to you, they wanna hear you talk about me," Ross says in the track. "Bang Em Smurf. Queens. Forever. I appreciate the hospitality. Ricky Ross. I'm buying a loft there now. I'm building a studio there now...You haven't dropped a hit yet. You probably with [Dr.] Dre in the studio, booked up, busy. Anybody wanna get involved, you're more than welcomed...I wanna see the gorillas. I wanna meet 'em...Put your hit out on me, I'm ready." (WSHH)In my opinion: i don't care about when my fave rapper (50) raps about others but when i heard he mentioned his mom it just blew me away. After everything he went through his life I still can't believe he'd diss and talk about his mother....he doesn't even have a mother because of poisoning and no other rapper is dissing him bout that. Anyways I am always on 50's side.....I LOVE YOU FIDDY (NO HOMO), hope to meet you before the day i die....GOD BLESS.Post your opinions below [Make sure you add my page]

I always thought bullfighters were a little bit nuts, but they know exactly what they are getting into when they enter the ring.
For matador Christian Hernandez the sight of a 1000 pound bull charging after him was enough to make him lose his manhood, run out of the ring and hop over a wall drawing boos from the fans.
Matadors are required to sign contracts before entering the ring. They must read something like this "kill or be killed ______X sign here."
So after running out of the ring at Plaza Mexico, Hernandez ran right into a pair of handcuffs according to CBS News.
He was released after posting a fine.
Hernandez was gored by a bull several months ago. Sunday marked his return to the ring and he won't be back. He plans to retire.
"There are some things you must be aware of about yourself," the 22-year-old Mexican matador said in a television interview. "I didn't have the ability, I didn't have the balls, this is not my thing."

Trash talking is just as fun for the fans as it is for the players in any sport.
Big Snoop Dogg and Donnie Wahlberg are putting their money where their mouths are according to BallerStatus.
The Boston Celtics leads the NBA Finals by a 3 games to 2 lead over the Los Angeles Lakers, but that's not stopping Snoop, a big L.A. fan from throwing down a $20,000 bet with the money going to charity.
Snoop put out a video challenge "What it do, Big Snoop Dogg, Lakers fan #1. Wahlberg what it do? Y'all want that bet? Let's get it crackin'. "20 Gs to your favorite charity, Lakers beat the Celtics, that's what it do!"
Wahlberg quickly accepted and upped the ante by challenging Snoop to settle the bet in public at a New Kids On The Block concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York.
"I'll pay for the flight, rooms and expense. The loser steps on stage in the other [team's] jersey to hand over the check!" Wahlberg wrote via his Twitter account.
That's wassup, hope they videotape this, lol.

Today is probably the biggest day in Drake's life. With the release of his highly anticipated debut cd 'Thank Me Later' Drizzy officially holds the Young Money mantle in his hands until Lil Wayne's release from prison.
The Toronto rapper took over 106 and Park yesterday (June 14) and appeared ready for the big day..
Drake said his dream collaboration would be with Prince and relaxes when he's not on stage by wine tasting.
A few 106 fans got the chance to ask Drake questions via Twitter:
Q - What made you want to be a rapper, when did you start?
A - As a kid growing up I was always kind of emotional and I felt bad for it. I was very in tune with my emotions and never really knew how to express myself. And rap is soothing to me like when something goes with wrong a woman or something is going on with my family. I feel like I can tell the world in a classy way, it's like cleansing, it's like therapy.
Q - Where do you come up with the lyrics to your songs?
A - I used to drive and write because I love seeing the city at night. Now I sit and try to reflect on life. I try and view everything in slow motion so I can remember it and pay attention to it. Because everything moves so fast that if I view it in slow motion, it's moving at regular speed. I just write about life and love and the people I care about.
Q - What's the craziest thing a fan has ever done to get your attention, did it work?
A - Yeah, this girl was my phone background for a while, she got 'Drizzy' tattooed on the inside of her lip.
Drake reveals that the 1st song on 'Thank Me Later' which features Alicia Keys titled "Fireworks" has a special meaning. The 2nd verse was written about Rihanna.
"Yeah, that's a situation that I was apart of and by no means do I want to disrespect anybody or put anybody out there," he says. "It was just like a beautiful feeling to me because it was the first time in a long time that a woman made me feel emotional and small."
