Joe Budden was reportedly attacked by Wu-Tang Clan rapper Raekwon's entourage Saturday (August 8) night after a performance in California. Click here to find out more!
While details are still scarce, Joey resorted to a live blog to explain what went down.
"It was such a sucker punch," Budden said in a live broadcast. "Rae didn't punch me. For the people just joining us that would like to know what happened...I'm trying to figure out how this could happen...Just need to let n*ggas know, that I'm all right. I know how the Internet is. It moves 20 times faster than real life...It's gonna look like some other crazy sh*t that didn't take place, I must really love you guys...Them n*ggas came in here like Storm Troopers and sh*t. They made a grand entrance...They asked me a whole bunch of questions that they didn't want to know the answers to...it was like an interview gone wrong. My whole thing is, I would have had the most utmost respect for that n*gga if he would have been like, 'Eh, take a walk with me.' I just don't really know how these guys think they can do a show right after. How you gonna perform after that?...Now it's not Slaughterhouse versus Wu-Tang, it's definitely not that. It takes that leverage away. I'm definitely sexy still." (Blog TV)
Reports of the attack landed online immediately following the incident.
Joey was streaming from Rock The Bells backstage in LA when Rae & his people bumrushed in and somebody punched Budden in the eye. Rae's people were recording for IceWaterTV. Joey says there won't be any diss tracks. (Nah Right)
Raekwon previously spoke on his issues with Joey earlier this year.
"I don't like Joe Buddens," Raekwon explained in an interview. "First and foremost, I never knew him and I ain't really trying to make this no campaign, like 'cause he know he can't f*ck with me but I'm just saying that at the end of the day I feel like he was wrong as a man before anything because number one, if you saying you got love for a n*gga, you don't assassinate the n*gga." (Rock Me TV)
Rae also questioned Joey's rhyming skills last May.
"You can't give that n*gga no shine, man," Raekwon said in an interview. "First of all, everybody know that he's not even nowhere near n*ggas, you know what I mean? I ain't got nothing against Joe Budden, I don't know him, I don't care for him like that, but when he mentioned one of my brothers, it's like 'Yo, you outta character, B.' And on a real note, you're not better than anybody over here. So you know, to me, that was just something I feel he jumped in the pool with no water and didn't realize he made a mistake, but that's not my problem, he ain't mention me." (Akira The Don)
I personally listen to Joe Budden on the regular and think it was a sucka move for Wu-Tang to move in on him like such. Mood Muzik 3 was a classic. So now slaughterhouse gets involved....Check out what Slaughterhouse member Royce da 5'9'' had to say about the ordeal. http://www.xxlmag.com/online/?p=54429
This situation seems far from over so Ill def keep everybody posted!!!
SASKATCHEWAN (CBC) - A Paraguayan father mourning the death of his premature baby was shocked to learn his son was still alive when he heard crying coming from the temporary box holding the infant's supposed remains.
"I opened it to look at his remains and found that the baby was breathing," Jose Alvarenga, 25, recounted. "I began to cry."
The infant, born nearly three months early on Thursday and weighing just over a pound, was rushed back to the same hospital, Central del Instituto de Previsión Social, where he had been born hours before.
Staff there had reportedly spent an hour trying to revive him after birth but declared him dead after being unable to detect any vital signs.
The father says he was at the family home in Fernando de la Mora for the baby's wake when he reportedly heard crying from the box.
The mother, Isabel Rossana Cáceres, 24, was still in hospital recovering from the birth. The infant is in stable condition in the intensive care unit.
Hospital officials said they plan to investigate the incident.
"This is a very unusual case," the head of pediatric care at the hospital, Ernesto Weber, told the Agence France-Presse news agency. This is bananas!!!
Incarcerated rapper Jamal "Shyne" Barrow reported to court today (August 4) for a parole hearing and was granted a two-and-a-half years post-release supervision ruling upon leaving prison this fall. Click here to find out more!
The rapper's attorney, Oscar Michelin, confirmed the court's decision this afternoon.
A Manhattan judge signed an order that will see former Bad Boy recording artist Shyne receive two-and-a-half years of post-release supervision stemming from his 2001 conviction and sentencing in the infamous Club New York case. An attorney for Shyne -- born Jamal Barrow but now going by Moses Levi after converting to Judaism while in prison -- said that the order marked one of the last remaining hurdles in the way of his client's release from prison in October. "He's about 90 percent of the way home now," Michelin said. (MTV)
His lawyer broke the news of today's parole hearing in an interview this week.
"What happened was when they sentenced him [in March of 2001] they didn't sentence him to any parole post release supervision, which was mandatory," he said in an interview. "So the Correction Department has asked the court to re-sentence him under the law they can do that...The judge will decide whether to give him the maximum parole, which is five years, or the minimum parole, which is two-and-a-half years. Shyne will automatically have to do at least a year-and-a-half, which is how much of [the] 10 year [sentence remains] [Shyne] still owes the balance to the 10. But, [the district attorney] also [has] been looking to add to that [time] as well" (Hip Hop DX)
Shyne's time behind bars stemmed from a shoot-out at a New York City nightclub nearly ten years ago.
The fracas broke out on December 27, 1999, at a Manhattan nightclub where Shyne, Sean "Diddy" Combs with then-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez and their entourage had been partying. Around 3 a.m., Combs and Shyne allegedly began arguing with another group of patrons. Someone threw money at Combs, a gesture of disrespect, and guns started going off. Three bystanders were shot. Shyne, who police found with a pistol in his waistband, was arrested after bystanders identified him as one of the shooters. Shyne received a 10-year prison. Barrow has always claimed he acted in self-defense and only fired his gun after the other group, Matthew "Scar" Allen and his crew began shooting. (About)
His rise to fame came from an association with Diddy's Bad Boy label.
Shyne was well-known among the public before Bad Boy Records even released his debut -- which was, for many years, his only -- album. That album charted well, thanks in part to all the media attention he'd garnered over the years, and he showcased a remarkable talent for rapping despite his young-twenty-something age. The album wasn't an especially memorable work, however, and Shyne remained far better-known for his story than for his music. (All Music)
Shyne is reportedly set to be released Tuesday, October 6th.
