Serius Jones stopped by VladTV for an exclusive interview reflecting on his fight with Math Hoffa at Summer Madness 3. He previously released a short Instagram video showing off his unmarked face after the fight, and a longer blog explaining in some detail what happened.
This time Serius released all of his thoughts and feelings about the incident in front of our cameras. He stated that he firmly believes that Math Hoffa punched him when he wasn't looking at him, that the gay jokes Serius was saying in his first round agitated Math, and that he thought Math's blog apologizing and explaining his day leading up to the Summer Madness 3 fight was strange to say the least.
Serius wants everyone to know that from his perspective, he was never knocked out, and was only on the ground because he got pushed down and held down by security while they were trying to separate him and Math.
What do you think of Serius' reflection on his Summer Madness 3 fight with Math Hoffa?

On Wednesday, September 11, Fat Trel held a mixtape release party at Sounds of Brazil (SOB's) In New York City for his project titled SDMG. Unfortunately gunshots were fired leaving four people injured in what is being described as a gang related incident.
Here's a brief interview with Trel and Young Pretty prior to the shooting.
SOB's would later release a statement:
Dear Friends and Loyal Patrons,
For 32 years, we here at SOB’s have prided ourselves on creating a safe and fun environment for visitors to enjoy good food and some of the best live music in New York and the world over. It has been a labor of love and devotion, as this intimate dinner club has allowed us the opportunity to share in the creative process and to be a part of the experiment of music. Sharing the gift of music has been our greatest joy.
SOB’s has hosted some of the finest talent (of established fame and rising stars) from all genres of music, attracting a myriad of different cultures under one harmonious roof. The SOB’s family, along with its internationally acclaimed artists and devoted fans, has peacefully and gratefully celebrated diverse cultures and the music that unites us through its transcendent language for many years.
As you may have heard, an unknown individual recently engaged in violent behavior on our premises during a live music concert. On behalf of the SOB’s staff, our thoughts and prayers go out to all who were affected. This incident was unprecedented in the long history of SOB’s. We are assisting the police in every way possible to bring this person to justice. For nothing is more important to SOB’s than the safety and well being of our customers.
This is a home of peace, respect and positive vibes and we here at SOB’s vow to keep it that way.
We sincerely appreciate all of your continued support for SOB’s over the years. It is you—our impassioned fans of great live music and lovingly prepared tropical cuisine—who make the SOB’s experience possible. You have our pledge that we will continue to provide an unparalleled and culturally enriching blend of fine cuisine and live entertainment.
Please join us for future shows and honor the positive language of music.
Respectfully and Sincerely,

Kanye West has officially been charged with criminal battery and attempted grand theft in connection with his July scuffle with a paparazzo at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
West charged at Daniel Ramos and seemed to wrestle with him over his camera. There were no punches thrown, but Ramos was taken to the hospital for injuries he supposedly suffered.
Ramos hired high powered attorney Gloria Allred. Last month the two held a news conference announcing they were suing West. Ramos said that he still has to use a cane as a result of the attack.
West will be arraigned October 10th. If convicted of both misdemeanors Kanye could face a maximum of 1 year in jail, according to TMZ.

A$AP Mob leader A$AP Rocky won't get the chance to perform at a concert in Toronto next week because the student federation has pulled the plug.
Rocky was charged with assault after a woman claimed he slapped her while walking through the crowd at the Made In America Festival in Philadelphia two weeks ago.
Lisa Wade claims Rocky was walking through the crowd when he slapped "the hell out of" her for no reason. Lisa says she suffered bruising to her face and had to go to the hospital.
As a result Rocky's appearance scheduled for next Wednesday has been cancelled.
"The event cannot proceed until this matter is resolved." the school's student federation told TMZ.

Veteran emcee Lord Jamar of Brand Nubian weighs in on the DJ Mister Cee situation regarding his solicitation of sex from transsexuals.
"To me this really speaks to the sickness of mind," Jamar told Vlad TV. "This man had a lot to lose as far as his livelihood. I'm sure they told him, 'If you get caught doing this sh*t again you're outta here.' Why would you still do it unless it's like a sickness. Like an addiction. That's when you do things even though you know it can harm you and you still do it. That's the definition of addiction, or crazy, or some sort of mental illness. That's not Hip Hop."
Jamar was grateful to Mister Cee for always playing Brand Nubian's music, but said he couldn't give him a pass.
Kanye West didn't escape Jamar's wrath. In February he put out a diss song titled "Lift Your Skirt Up" aimed at Yeezy. During this latest interview he said that West is making a conscious decision to try and steer hip hop in that direction.

It's still hard to believe Tupac Shakur is gone. Millions of fans still mourn his death. Generally considered to be the best rapper to ever pick up a mic, he was in his prime when his life was cut short 17 years ago today.
Tupac was not just a rapper. He was also a poet, an actor and at times an activist. His role as Bishop in the movie Juice helped to catapult him towards superstar status.
He also appeared in the films Gang Related, Gridlock'd, Above the Rim and alongside Janet Jackson in Poetic Justice.
Tupac was a workaholic in the studio. When he died he left behind enough material for seven posthumous albums including the classic, The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, which he recorded in just seven days.
Other notable releases include the 9x platinum All Eyez On Me, Me Against the World, 2Pacalypse Now and Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z. To date Pac has sold over 75 million records worldwide.
Tupac was able to walk that fine line between being a gangster rapper and gentleman. He recorded songs uplifting women such as "Keep Your Head Up," as well as hard hitting tracks like "Hit 'Em Up" during his career. He rapped from the heart and listeners couldn't help but hang on every word.
Quite simply, he was a genius. The world misses you Tupac. May you rest in peace.
