Jadakiss Indicted on Drug and Gun Charges, Pleads Not Guilty
A little more than four months after being arrested with three other men, D-Block member Jadakiss was indicted Thursday (Feb. 8) on gun and drug charges.
The Associated Press reports the rapper (born Jason Phillips) pleaded not guilty to charges of possessing a loaded handgun and marijuana in a Westchester County courtroom.
He was arrested Oct. 7 after police stopped the car he was traveling in after smelling marijuana. A gun allegedly belonging to Jadakiss was found soon after.
The rhymesayer's attorney, Clement Patti, argued that his client was riding in the back seat of the car and didn't know there was a gun in the front console.
"I have yet to see or hear of any evidence connecting my client to possessing this weapon," Patti told the Associated Press.
Although two of the other men arrested face similar charges, no indictment of the fourth man was announced, according to the AP.
If convicted on the gun charge, Jadakiss could face a maximum prison sentence of 16 months to seven years.
50 Cent- FUNERAL MUSIC (CAM'RON DISS)
Earlier this week, I brought you the radio dispute between 50 Cent and Cam'ron; that took place during the the Angie Martinez show.
Now the G-Unit boss has decided he's had enough of Cam's games. Releasing not only an audio track, but a video as well. Both dissing the Dipset General.
Curtis doesn't say anything too notable, pretty much just general shit talking and threats of violence, but look at the herse. It says "Cam'ron's Career."
The best stuff comes when he is running his mouth at the end of the song. In this case, restructuring the Dipset camp. Dont belive me, look here.
"From now on, Jimmy is the boss of Dipset, and Juelz is the Capo. Cam is now demoted to soldier. We like Jimmy better anyway. Ballinnnn'"
(to many sites to give props to, so all ya'll kiss yourselfs)

R. KELLY HAD SURGERY FOR BURST APPENDIX
R. Kelly went under the knife in Miami last Sunday to address a burst appendix, his lawyer said Thursday.
The operation, performed at Jackson Memorial Hospital, caused the 40-year-old R&B singer to miss a court date Wednesday regarding his 14 counts of child pornography charges.
Kelly’s attorney Terence Gillespie said Thursday that the artist is in good condition and was expected to be released from the hospital later in the day. Gillespie also said that Kelly is expected to appear at his next scheduled court date on Feb. 21.
In December, a Cook County judge issued a ruling that allowed Kelly to travel out of state for business purposes without permission. R’s business trip to Miami included a performance at a Super Bowl party.

?UESTLOVE TO PRODUCE NEW AL GREEN ALBUM
Al Green is currently in the studio recording his upcoming album for Blue Note Records over tracks produced by Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson of the rap collective The Roots.
According to Billboard.com, the unlikely pairing came about after Thompson "ran my big mouth" and told [Blue Note senior director of A&R] Eli [Wolf], "'Yo, man. You want a real Al Green record? Come see me.' So now I've got to live up to that."
?uestlove had some initial reservations in tackling the production for Green’s follow-up to 2005’s “Everything’s O.K.”
"If it were up to me and it was absolutely totalitarianism, I would live all my derivative fantasies out on this record," he says. "It would be 1974 all over again, sonically. I think they're still getting used to that."
One of the frustrations, according to Thompson, is that veteran artists find it hard to resist teaming with younger, hotter talent in an attempt to reap commercial acceptance.
"If you're going to compete with T.I., Chamillionaire and Jay-Z, then by all means, let's try and reach the kids of today," he tells Billboard.com. "But if you put the dart in your hand and you're not going to hit a bullseye, you're better off just doing what you know best."
"I'm not saying Al Green wants to do his version of [Chamillionaire's] 'Ridin',' but for veterans, their examples are the Santana of 1999 and the Tony Bennett and Rod Stewart of today," he continues. "They're thinking, 'Okay, that is going to get me to the Grammy podium. Someone phone up John [Legend], Alicia [Keys] and Corinne [Bailey Rae] and let's get on Adult Contemporary radio.' I'm trying to get them out of that mode. It'll be a struggle but I think at the end of the day it will be a quality record."
