Kurupt Young Gotti of Tha Dogg Pound is sick and tired of the talk surrounding Kendrick Lamar's line in the song "Control," which pays homage to Kurupt's verse on the song "Get Bizy." When asked by VLAD TV about it, the rapper went off.

We don't have a problem with you New York. Stop it my nigga! King of New York is a fucking movie! Biggie called himself Frank fucking White. Who is Frank White? He's the fucking King of New York! It's a fucking movie, man. We don't want your city, your country, your town. We from Los Angeles, we from Compton, Watts, Inglewood. Nigga, we are the West Coast. Why the fuck would we wanna be where you're at nigga? We don't like your fucking streets!"

A psycho psychologist from Mexico City murdered her husband in the most gruesome way possible then sloppily attempted to cover her tracks.
According to the New York Daily News, 40-year old Maria Alejandra Lafuente Caso drugged her husband, Allan Carrera Cuellar, 41, then dismembered his body with a chainsaw. Maria then dumped her husband's body parts in different part of the city.
Maria kept Allan's family fooled by texting them from his phone so they would think he was still alive. Her plan began to unravel when kids stumbled across Allan's head at a local park.
During the police investigation they found Allan's hands and feet in another part of the city.
"Before the body parts were found she convinced everyone that he was alive and well by sending text messages," a police spokesman said. "After we found the remains and managed to identify him from DNA, she pretended to be a grieving widow. But a forensic examination of her home found traces of his blood and bone gristle in the carpets and bits of flesh in the bathroom. She then tried to have herself sectioned using her knowledge of mental illness as a psychologist so she wouldn't have to stand trial for his murder. But we had a doctor carry out tests and she is of perfectly sane mind."
Maria alleges her husband physically abused her for years. She is now facing life in prison.

Bobby Shmurda is currently in police custody after being arrested Tuesday night, December 16.
TMZ reports that the Brooklyn, New York rapper who shot to fame with the hit record "Hot Nigga" was under surveillance by NYPD and arrested while sitting in a car outside of a New York recording studio.
According to the report, Bobby's arrest was the culmination of long term investigation conducted by the New York Police Department and a special narcotics prosecutor.
No specific charges have been released yet, but it is known the crimes include drugs and multiple shootings.
The rapper is set to appear in court to be arraigned on Thursday, December 18.
**UPDATE** December 18
Details about Bobby Shmurda's arrest are beginning to trickle out. The 20-year old, real name Ackquille Pollard, was arrested Wednesday, along with 12 other members of his GS9 crew, including Rowdy Rebel, real name Chad Marshall, and his brother, Javase Pollard.
The 100-count indictment includes gang activity, multiple shootings and drug trafficking.
Police found 20 handguns inside Quad City Studios where Bobby was picked up, according to 7 Online.
The rapper's lawyer says the charges are false.
"There is nowhere in the western world where he can go without being recognized," defense attorney Howard Greenburg said. "And you're telling me he has to take time out of his busy life as an entertainer and do what is alleged in this indictment? It's a bunch of BS, and you can quote me."

**UPDATE No. 2** December 18
Bobby Shmurda has been charged with conspiracy to commit murder, as well as gun and drug charges. The 15 other defendants were hit with murder, attempted murder, assault and drug dealing charges.
Prosecutors allege that Bobby is the ring leader of the G Stone Crips (GS9). They are accused of murdering a 19-year old rival gang member on February 8, 2013 and 24 other shootings since 2013.
The violence stems primarily from wars the G Stone Crips were having with other gangs, including Folk Nation and Brooklyn's Most Wanted (BMW), according to NBC New York.
The Brooklyn-based gang used code words to speak about various crimes. Firearms were “tone” and “socks." “Crills” referred to narcotics, and “suntan” or “scoom” referred to shootings.
The rapper earned the nickname "Two Socks Bobby." He's alleged to have fired gunshots into a crowd of people on June 2. Prior to a July 2014 performance at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, Bobby and an accomplice reportedly opened fire on a rival gang member
When Bobby was arrested Wednesday, police say they found 2 guns and a small amount of crack in the vehicle he was in. His bail has been set at $2 million.
James Essig, head of the NYPD task force said that the songs a videos made by Bobby and Rowdy Rebel were "almost like a real-life document of what they were doing on the street,''
Howard Greenburg, Bobby's attorney, says his client was framed and should be freed without bail. Greenburg argued that the rapper was far too busy traveling and performing to have taken part in the crimes he's accused of.
"I'm not gonna let the government crucify my guys. Despite the fact the government hates raps and rappers. And they hate [the] lyrics," Greenburg told PIX 11

Sony executives are scrambling in the wake of a massive leak of unreleased movies, private emails, and documents.
North Korea has been blamed for the hack because the upcoming film, The Interview, depicts an attempt to assassinate their leader Kim Jung Un. Seth Rogan and James Franco are the stars of the comedy, set to open on December 25.
North Korea has not taken responsibility for the hack, but called it a "righteous deed." A group called the Guardians of Peace is claiming to be behind the leaks. They have warned fans not to go see the film via a statement threatening possible violence.
"We will clearly show it to you at the very time and places 'The Interview' [will] be shown, including the premier, how bitter fate those who seek fun in terror should be doomed to," the note released by the group of hackers reads. "The world will be full of fear. Remember the 11th of September 2001."
Rogan and Franco have cancelled all public appearances and interviews connected to the movie. The premiere was to held on Thursday, December 18, at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema in New York City has also been cancelled, according to TMZ.
The Carmike Cinemas chain, which operates 278 theaters in 41 states in America will not be showing the film.
The Department of Homeland Security has said they don't believe the threats are credible. Nevertheless, the damage has already been done to Sony's bottom line. In addition to The Interview disaster movies that have been leaked so far include Annie, Fury, Still Alice and Mr. Turner.
Unflattering emails from Sony employees about Adam Sandler, President Obama and Kevin Hart have also been leaked to the public.
**UPDATE**
Regal Entertainment, AMC Entertainment, Cinemark and Cineplex Entertainment have joined Carmike Cinemas and decided against showing the film.
**UPDATE 2**
With a growing number of movie chains deciding not to show The Interview, Sony has pulled the plug on it's Christmas release date.
The company has released a statement:
In light of the decision by the majority of our exhibitors not to show the
film The Interview, we have decided not to move forward with the
planned December 25 theatrical release. We respect and understand our partners’
decision and, of course, completely share their paramount interest in the safety
of employees and theater-goers.
Sony Pictures has been the victim of an unprecedented criminal assault against
our employees, our customers, and our business. Those who attacked us stole our
intellectual property, private emails, and sensitive and proprietary material,
and sought to destroy our spirit and our morale – all apparently to thwart the
release of a movie they did not like. We are deeply saddened at this brazen
effort to suppress the distribution of a movie, and in the process do damage to
our company, our employees, and the American public. We stand by our filmmakers and their right to free expression and are extremely disappointed by this
outcome.

When or if the $44 million film will hit theaters remains to be seen. The U.S. government has determined that North Korea is behind the Sony cyber attack.
