Willie D spoke to VladTV about the frustrations involved behind the scenes of setting up the last Ghetto Boys tour before Bushwick Bill passed away.

Report via TMZ -- A$AP Rocky is being held in a Swedish jail with shockingly inhumane conditions -- feces hurled about and not cleaned up, wretched food and facilities that are not fit for human beings ... this according to sources with direct knowledge of Rocky's situation.
Our sources tell TMZ ... the rapper is sleeping on a yoga mat with no blankets. There is a prisoner in the next cell with severe mental issues who slams his head against the concrete wall and hurls feces every which way ... feces that are not cleaned up.
The water, we're told, is not clean and the food is not edible ... for the first 5 days A$AP Rocky ate an apple a day, and that's it.
We're told the facility is filthy and "disease ridden."
As we reported, A$AP Rocky is being held for 2 weeks while prosecutors decide whether to charge him for aggravated assault stemming from a street brawl ... despite a video showing the alleged victim harassing and even physically attacking Rocky and his crew prior to the incident.
There is a treaty -- the Vienna Convention for Consular Relations -- which both Sweden and the United States signed. Under the treaty, when a foreigner like A$AP Rocky is arrested, he has a right to immediately see an official from the U.S. Consulate. Our sources say Rocky asked for the meeting, but when an official from the American Consulate arrived at the detention center to meet him, he was squarely denied access -- a clear violation of the treaty.
Our sources say the U.S. official believes he was denied access because Swedish officials did not want him to see the conditions inside the facility.
Rocky's team persisted and eventually the consulate official was allowed to see him 2 days later, but only in the presence and earshot of 2 Swedish guards. Rocky and the official could not have a private conversation and they believe it was "a clear intimidation tactic."
Our sources say Rocky's team is trying to get the State Dept. involved to help get him out. So far, the Swedish courts have shut him down. By the way ... court proceedings in Sweden are closed to the public and the media.

Report via Newsweek -- Thousands have reacted to reports of a black teenager being allegedly murdered for listening to rap music in Arizona, with the hashtag #JusticeForElijah trending on Twitter.
Michael Adams, 27, has been charged with the first-degree murder of 17-year-old Elijah Al-Amin. The teenager died from his injuries after his throat was slit at around 1:42 a.m. at a Circle K store in Peoria on July 4.
According to court documents, seen by AZ Central, Adams told police that he decided to kill the teenager because he was playing rap music in his vehicle, which made him feel unsafe.
Adams admitted he was not provoked or threatened by the teenager prior to the alleged attack, but decided to be "proactive rather than reactive," as he said people who listen to rap music are a threat to him and the community.
According to Arizona Department of Corrections, Adams had just been released from the Arizona State Prison Complex in Yuma two days before he allegedly killed Al-Amin.
After the murder charges were brought forward, Jacie Cotterell, Adams's lawyer, said her client was "set up for failure," because of inabilities to give him access to mental health services following his release from prison.
"To be specific, he was given resources, he wasn't given means to get to those resources," Cotterell told AZ Central.
Speaking to Fox 10, Cotterell argued that Adams should not have been sent to jail in the first place.
"It's too easy as a society to shake our head and say well, they committed a crime, it's too bad, we have jails for that when really, what they need is treatment. They need a bed instead of a cell," she said.
In a statement, Bill Lamoreaux, a spokesman for Arizona Department of Corrections, said that Adams "was not designated seriously mentally ill" following his release.
"The tragic death is terrible, and Mr. Adams will have to answer for his alleged actions," he added.
Twitter users have been paying their respects for the 17-year-old while questioning whether mental health issues would be brought up if the suspect and the victim's races were switched.

Report via TMZ -- Slim 400 is finally out of intensive care after being shot up in Compton, but he's not out of the woods yet.
Sources connected to the rapper tell TMZ that Slim was recently taken out of the ICU at the hospital he's being treated at, and that he's now in stable condition. That said, we're told Slim still has a long road of recuperating ahead of him.
Our sources say he's expected to remain in the hospital for a good long while, despite initial expectations that he'd be making a full recovery in the coming weeks.
Considering he's undergone 4 surgeries since being rushed to the hospital -- after being shot 9 times in multiples areas of his body -- it's no wonder he'll be bedside for the foreseeable future.
We're told YG has come by to visit since touching down in L.A. last week -- when he told us he and his crew would respond to the shooting by staying "dangerous." Other folks have come to see him as well.
No suspects have been identified in the ambush shooting that took place a little more than a week ago. As we first told you, the gunmen hopped out of their drive-by vehicle to finish the job, but miraculously ... Slim lived through the ordeal.
